Beachin' It

I can't believe I am now one week into summer and it's the first time I've been to the beach! Me and Claire decided to hang out at Kahala Beach which turned out to be a disaster when the winds picked up. Little bits of sand attacked us all over until we were forced to put up our white towels. 

Victoria's secret bikini top, loli'i bottoms, and printed hat I bought at the Kaka'ako Night Market.

Beach Cleanup!

A beautiful Sunday morning for a beach clean up! This was for the Environmental Surf Club at Punahou. This is one of the prettiest beaches i've seen in Hawaii, and I am glad we could preserve it. Although it wasn't too littered, it was a lot of fun!

Honu Search

Pictures from when I went to the North Shore a few weeks ago. We went mainly in search for honus, or turtles that were sleeping on shore. Me and my friends were in luck, here is a little guy taking a nap. Can you spot him? He's camouflaged in the rocks.

You have the beach. You have your best friends. You have the sunset. 

You have everything.

Buh Bye Hawai'i

With mixed feelings, I left for Haneda airport. I've never been to this brand new international airport and the fact that I am going alone put me on some edge, but it was good nervousness! I adventured through the Honolulu airport a bit before settling at my gate. The flight felt long, but movies The Butterfly Effect, Tangled and Just Go With It put me at ease.

This is a picture of my airplane that I boarded, along with one of my favorite pictures of sunset. Nothing warms my heart more than a picture taken from my lanai of the Hawaiian sun setting. Accompanying these pictures is a photo I fished out of me from two years ago. It was my birthday so I took some pictures on the lanai with my best friends and changed into this cute girly outfit. The skirt is from H&M, the tank top is from Theory and the belt is from a boutique in Karuizawa, Japan. Lastly is a picture of my nails that I am very proud of. With inspiration of summer and prolonged beach days, I did my nails to match the sea. The sandy gold sand compliments the sparkly, clear ocean. The work is sloppy, but its as nice as my patience and artistic skills allowed.
