the jazz age

I went Club Puna Jazz last Saturday to support my talented friends playing instruments. Our school cafeteria transformed into a classy night club. I love that everyone was dressed up, and could strut their dance moves for the occasion.

This is my favorite dress in my closet right now, but I could never find an appropriate occasion for it. I thought it was perfect for the night, no?

I love the black!

UH Jazz Band

Dress forever 21, heels Vince Camuto.

I found this ticket in my bag from the AVANTI concert from two summers ago in Finland! My uncle played piano, but I can't believe it's still in my bag.

Aida

 

Went to the Hawaii Opera Theater to see Aida last Sunday with my voice coach and her family. It was radically entertaining, since I knew a couple of the main characters (The high priestess and Aida's father) who both sang beautifully. 

BCBG MaxAzaria multicolored dress, yellow cardi from Japan, black chanel purse, and sky high black heels from Nine West.

Siam Garden

I went to Siam Garden with my dad the other day for lunch. At first, we were on our way to Nico's, a nice place that serves fresh fish lunch plates on the docks around Nimitz. Just a few days earlier, we were talking about Vietnamese food, and decided to stop here instead. 

 Fixing my hair in this forever 21 multicolored striped dress, forever 21 charm necklace, purple wedges, blue Lacoste cardigan.

Beef salad. More beef than salad.

Bummed I forgot to take a picture of the Chicken Pad Thai and rice.

Roy's Holiday Dinner

To celebrate the holidays, me and my closest friends shared an evening of secret santa and delicious meals. We first ate at Roys restaurant in Hawaii Kai, the original. I had a very good marinated steak dish that I can't remember the name of. All I know is that it melted in my mouth, and it was all gone before I knew it! And for everyone who knows Roys, we all know that their chocolate souflée should be one of our regret-less seven sins.

Tea At Angelina

 

  When we hoped off the cab at Angelina, the driver warned us not to eat too much chocolate! That's when I knew we were in the right place. They had sweets like macaroons, cake, ice cream - you name it! They are most famous for their mont blancs and chocolat chaudes but I indulged in a rich chocolate cake while drinking thé Angelina. It was a beautiful day in Paris.

I am wearing a Forever 21 white lace dress with my new heels and a Lancel bag.

Guess where I am?

If you guessed London, sadly you are wrong. I am on the streets of Tokyo, on my way  to see the final showing of the three musketeers directed by a family friend at Nisei Theater. If it weren't for my jet lag, I would've gone backstage to meet the cast! That and the fact that Princess Aiko, her father, Prince Tougu, and their 30 SP's were occupying my friends attention. Bummer！

I noticed that the number of telephone booths have dwindled over the past decade. That or the fact that I never use them so they don't draw my attention...Anyways, this cute booth was peculiar, and there's nothing I'm more attracted to then the odd and undiscovered. I am wearing a fuschia dress from urban outfitters. I bought this online and crossed my fingers in hopes that it would be the right size, which it was! This silence and noise dress has been wonderful to me; I can where it anywhere without feeling inappropriately dressed.Accompanying it is my "big brown bag". It fits everything and the color matches 90% of my outfits - it's a traveling bag must! My mothers' friends' husband is the designer of this bag. Most of my bags are designed by him, brand name is Sa-Che.

Baby You're A Firework

Fourth of July, Americas favorite holiday! We had a blast at the top floor parking garage of Ala Moana mall watching the fireworks. The sky was clear, which we were thankful for. There was, however, a slight drizzle of rain but not to worry, I came prepared with a rain coat. We spent all day at the beach which is why we are so tan and sun burnt!

I loveee this red dress, but I can never figure out where to wear it to! It has an adorable backdrop that's knitted together. I got it from Mahina in Waikiki :)

Marry Me?

Allstar Weekend concert!! Woo hoo :))                    

                                                                                                               From the concert

I went to this concert only knowing two songs. Although I liked the two songs, I wasn't a groupie. Just a teen looking for some summer fun. I never could've imagined how head over heels me and my friend would become. They were magical and incredibly charismatic! I've never met such a down to earth band. After hugging them at the meet and greet, I found the man I want to marry....or men.

Mr. Wonderful - they are so cute http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0wC438ZrUE

I am wearing a shiny blue American Apparel tube dress. It's tight around my upper body, so I don't lose my shape in the dress, but flares like a skirt. I love this simple, but flirty dress. It sets my mood to party hearty, but relaxed and flirty.

I found this tree on the way back from the North shore.
I commend whoever put this beach trash together to make this beautiful
Hawaiian like Christmas tree. Can you say photo op?
