Birthday Shennanigans

On July 22nd, the night before my birthday, a couple of friends and I stayed up through the night. At 4:30am we headed out to see the sunrise at the top of Haleakala Mountain in Maui, Hawaii. Our car coursed its way through the darkness and made its way to the summit. I've never quite seen something as scenically beautiful as the sunrise from the top of a mountain! It was truly breathtaking. After watching the sun wiggle its way into the sky, we lounged around the gift shop and then headed off to breakfast at a little place called "Grandma's Coffee House." The food was absolutely delicious alongside a steaming hot cup of tea. But of course it was still the early morning! So we made our way to the Ali'i Kula Lavender Farm and walked around in the garden. We topped off the start of the day with a trip to the strawberry farm, where we got delicious strawberry lemonade and played with some cute bunnies! 16th Birthday = Major Success. Here are some snippets to guide the story along!

Seoul Fashion Week F/W 2013

I know I'm very late on this, but it's better late than never! When I was in South Korea, the Seoul Fashion Week was going on for Fall/Winter 2013. There were some very interesting designs that were unique in their own way. Fashion is a broad statement in the world we live in. Korean designers set themselves apart from American designers while maintaining a certain similar feng shui. One of my favorites was this elegant trench style dress from Vack Yuunzung.

Style Steal: Miley Cyrus

Known for her daring style, and often perceived as hipster, Miley Cyrus can make simple look chic. One of my favorite, simple go to outfits inspired by Miley, is one that's pretty popular these days. Be effortlessly breezy with either a crop top or tank, high waisties, a plaid flannel tied 'round the waist, and some comfy kicks. Remember, don't let this sweltering weather force you to sacrifice your style; be chic always~

Hiking the Morning Away

One of these days during summer, I decided that I'd lose my hiking virginity. I've never been hiking, ever, at all, and not relatively close. I thought I was going to die [add sarcastic head roll here] and keel over, right off the side of the cliff. However, when I had finished after about 2 1/2 to 3 hours of hiking, I felt completely accomplished and happy that I got some source of exercise (my healthy eating has been going on break as well, yikes!). Here are a few photos that I took from the top of the mountain.

Summer 2013: South Korea

Hello lovelies! For the whole month of June I was privileged enough to visit South Korea. I explored both the countryside and the city, and I can definitely say, the atmosphere there is truly breathtaking.

The city was particularly my favorite, and what's a trip to Korea without going to Seoul? The main hub for everything in South Korea would undoubtedly be that miraculous city. Here are some photos I took while I enjoyed my stay-
