          Summer in Hawai'i is all about indulging in bowls of "shave ice," cooling off at Makapu'u Beach, and using shopping at Ala Moana Shopping Center as an excuse to escape the heat- well, for me anyway, so it's cut-off denim shorts and basic tees all day every day.  Once in a while, I'll convince myself to get all dolled up despite the lazy haze that the heat brings in.  Here's one of those rare summer outfits, so let's all take a moment of silence and observe this special occasion.
         All jokes aside, I am loving this look.  The mesh skirt reminded me of a fisherman's net, so I decided to take that tropical sea breeze vibe to the next level by wearing a pair of statement gold shell earrings.  Even if they are clip-on earrings, I must say, they are incredibly comfortable.  To pull the look together, I cinched my waist with a thick belt and laced-up my feet with a pair of nude pumps.  Finally, I added a bit of luxe by accessorizing with a few gold jewelry pieces and carried my favorite bejeweled gold clutch.  And voila!  This summertime luxe look is complete!
        Wishing you all a fun and adventurous summer!  Take time this summer for yourself- read a book on the beach, treat yourself to a mai-tai (or two or three), and just enjoy the little luxuries in life.  As always, I am sending you all lots of love from my heart to yours today and every day!

  3. Kristen, I love that quote by Lubbock. And you look immensely sophisticated in your summertime luxe OOTD. The shell earrings in particular caught my eyeballs and won't let go. I love how they frame your lovely face! =D x
