Would you believe me if I said that literally 10 minutes after I took these photos, a huge rainstorm rolled in? Well you better believe it cus that's exactly what happened. In fact, I even documented it on my VLOG for that day! That's my hometown, Hilo for ya. One minute it's super sunny, the next it's pouring rain and vice versa.

On this beautiful day in Hawaii, I thought it was only appropriate that I wore this bright, fun swimsuit from Kortni Jeane! If you live in Utah and have an Instagram, then I'm sure you've seen or heard of Kortni Jeane swimsuits at least one time or another. They're known for their versatile mix and match pieces that are bold, fun, and super flattering! I had the hardest time choosing what combination of swimmies I wanted because there were so many styles to choose from! It just goes to show how Kortni Jeane caters to every type of personality, body type, and occasion you can possibly imagine. I ended up going with the Sweetheart Top in Citron and the High-Waisted Bottoms in Pineapple print, because if you're going somewhere tropical, you need at least one thing in pineapple print. I mean, that's just like the rules of feminism. #sofetch

Also, as we were walking along this beautifully isolated beach, we came across a little turtle friend! We didn't even notice him at first because he was so still (I thought he was a rock), but then he started waving his fins at us and it nearly gave me a heart attack! We chatted with him for a little bit then we let him have his space because if a bunch of strangers came up to me and ruined my sun-bathing time, I'd get a little annoyed.

I hope you're all having an awesome Tuesday!

ps. This is my last Hawaii post of my little vacation series! On Thursday I'll be posting my first Japan outfit! Woo!

Cheers.

Something I learned during my trip home to Hawaii?

Rompers are the PERFECT swimsuit cover-up!

You can go from fancy to beachy in a few seconds with these babies! I never thought about it before but it really came in handy when we went from the beach straight to dinner after and all I had to do was throw on my romper! And guys, this Eva Jo Romper is ROMPER GOALS. I've styled their Cece romper in Army Green on my blog before so I was super excited to show off this charcoal Sylvie romper in Hawaii!

The Sylvie is their signature romper: the cross-over v-neck snaps closed, so easy on and easy off (perfect for beachin' aaaaaand for all you nursing mommas). There is no elastic waist (just a tie), so it's great for any waist size, including you pregger ladies. Besides charcoal, it comes in blue, black, pink, and floral--collect them all! ;) Eva Jo Rompers are perfect for every occasion and a tropical vacation DREAM because of how versatile and comfy they are.

And for all of you who are stuck in a frozen tundra, Eva Jo Rompers can be layered and styled in a winter fashion! Just throw on a scarf, thick coat, and boots and you're ready to go! :) Plus they offer free shipping sooooooo... what are you waiting for?

Cheers.

Hey there strangerrrrr!

I'm back from my MONTH LONG vacation in Hawaii and Japan! Did you miss me?

Adjusting to life back home has been rough. And not because I'm missing the warm beaches of Hawaii and gorgeous views of Japan. The TIME DIFFERENCE is 17 hours between here and Japan so falling back into a normal sleeping pattern has not been pretty. The first week back--I kid you not--I was going to sleep at 10am and waking up at 6pm. It was pretty miserable and I got close to nothing done all week. But with the help of some Sleep Aid and forcing myself to stay awake during daylight, I'm finally snoozing like a normal human being again. IN FACT, my sleep schedule has actually improved! I used to be a crazy night owl before my trip (I couldn't fall asleep before midnight and I'd wake up at 9/10 every day), but now, I'm getting sleepy at 8pm and waking up at 7am! It's actually really weird... but I'll take it. :)

Anyway, so now that I'm back and ready to start blogging again, here is my first Hawaii outfit post! The weather was actually a pain while we were visiting my hometown (it rained a lot a lot a lot) but if you take a 45 minute drive to the other side of the island, you can almost always find sun there. :) That's pretty much what we did the whole time we were there whenever we wanted to go to the beach! It sucked a bit, but at least we were able to escape the rain!

I loved soaking up the sun in my Lime Ricki swimmies! The combination of this solid bralette and striped high-waist bottom is so fun and bold. Also, this cover-up hoodie from Billabong is perfect for just throwing on over your swimsuit on your way to and from the beach! The french terrycloth fabric feels so nice on your skin and it breathes nicely so you won't get too hot in the humidity! If you're heading somewhere tropical this cold winter season, make sure you check out Lime Ricki and Billabong! They'll have all your vacation-style needs!

PS. I VLOGGED my entire Hawaii vacation (and Japan trip) and posted the videos on my YouTube channel! Check out all my Hawaii Vlogs HERE and as a bonus, here's my vlog from the day I wore this outfit:

Cheers.
