To Be a Tourist In Your Town

As a Maui resident, I don't find myself attending Luaus every so often; pretty much once in a great year, usually, when we have family visiting. It was fun though! We got to watch the cute little sunrise, drink some nonalcoholic drinks (barf), and stare in awe at the dancers shaking their hips faster than a washing machine. The food was delicious. I can live off of fried rice. There weren't very many choices for me as I'm a veggie head (vegetarian haha stupid joke) but I enjoyed the fried rice and sweet potatoes, mmmmm. I got a few shots in before the sun went down, my favorite being my boyfriend in "Country Club Chic" attire.   

If you've been to Maui, let's hope you've been to Hana. There are sunny beaches, amazing waterfalls, and refreshing ponds. We went to Hana this particular time to soak in some rays, lay in the sand, drink a few beers, and get away from reality. Everything is so green and relaxing there; its the perfect getaway for the day.

First of all, let me explain one thing. As a senior in my high school, we are required to do a senior project in order to graduate. There are four parts to the project: research paper, product, portfolio, and presentation. Lets just skip the boring stuff and go straight towards why i'm telling you this. I decided to make a hat. Oh. my. god. was that awful! I spent so many hours braiding and sewing it's ridiculous. I took a few snaps to include in my powerpoint, and well, whats keeping me from sharing them to the world!
Hope you've been having a good week. I apologize for my complete absence during the past week. I've been quite busy stuck doing work and tourist activities.

Michael Kors Fall '11

Michael Kors surprisingly made it on to my favorites list this season. Has he always been this amazing? Probably.. I just never really payed attention to him because I thought he dressed older women (don't ask why). This season however, he caught my eye; I'm pretty sure it was all the sequins, did i fail to mention my obsession with sequins? Anyways, it was just great. I normally don't like jumpsuits, but damn, i'd totally put that sequin jumpsuit on in a heartbeat.

Marchesa Fall '11

Marchesa, known for it's amazing appearances on the red carpet, was simply breathtaking. I absolutely loved the amount of tule put into the dresses, the applique covering the chest, and evil coming from the all black dress. I would pretty much die if I had the chance to put on the rose, applique, feather dress (2nd to last).

Marc Jacobs Fall '11

If I only post three pictures, you should already know whats coming. Marc Jacobs?! What happened, man! You fell short of my expectation pole. The collection was quite 70s, expected, and sort of bland. Nothing really excited me. It really kills me to say this because he is one of my favorites to look at, but daaaaaaaaamn boy, what happened?

Jason Wu Fall '11

Holy shit. Was I the only one who just peed my pants? This collection was simply amazing. I loved everything from the lace masks to the polka dot tights. I would do anything to get that lace tank/turtle neck blouse on my body. And those feather dresses? DIE! Lace, polka dots, red, see through, feathers, structure? My kind of stuff. Jason Wu, you are brilliant.
