Favorite Spots in Oahu, Hawaii Part II

We’re heading back to Oahu next month so of course, I’m writing about my trip from this past March! I know, I’m always 6 months behind! You can see my last “Favorite Spots” post here, and my “Best Instagram Spots” post here.

Waikiki Beach

Waikiki Beach, Surfjack Hotel Olive & Oliver, Haleiwa Acai Bowls, Leonards Bakery

Kakaako Street Murals

(Tantalus Look Out)

Banan Frozen Yogurt, Ko’olina Lagoons

Disney Aulani

North Shore

Back in March my family and I traveled to Oahu, Hawaii for our bi-annual family vacation. If you’ve been following me for a while then you know how much we love Oahu. This trip was a little different from the past because the weather was really off. The temperature was around 70’s and the ocean water was cold that we barely went in to swim. It was quite disappointing. According to the locals, this was their longest winter.

OUR USUAL HANG OUT’S:

We lounged at our favorite beach, Lanakai and the Ko’Olina Lagoons.
We made our must stop pit stop to Haleiwa Bowls and then picked up some caffeine at Olive & Oliver.
Of course we spent half at the Kakaako Murals to take photos of their newest walls
and we couldn’t leave the island without dropping by Disney Aulani for some yummy mickey spam musubi & shaved ice.

NEW SPOTS WE DISCOVERED THIS TRIP:

Tantalus Lookout. If you want to see a beautiful view of Honolulu, definitely stop by this lookout point.
We loved the food at Piggie Smalls & the yummy banana froyo from Banan. If you’re in the North Shore definitely try Cafe Haleiwa and instead of going to Giovanni’s Shrimp Truck, try Romy’s– we found their food to be better quality than Giovanni’s.

Pregnancy Update Week 21: It’s a Girl!

Pregnancy Update Week 21: It’s a Girl!!!

I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am about having a girl. I honestly would have been happy with either gender but I was hoping and praying for a baby girl for Rylie’s sake. I grew up with a brother and I love him very much but because of our age difference (7 years) I pretty much grew up an only child.

Having a boy would have been wonderful but I’m so happy that Rylie to have a best friend for life. She will always have someone to lean on, to trade secrets with and someone who will choose her over anyone else.

This baby girl growing inside of me has no idea what a lovely and awesome big sister she’s going to have!

Bright Florals with Old Navy

Bright florals have been on my mind lately and I’m loving these outfits from Old Navy.
If you want to see my last mommy and me post, click here.

Everyone is getting ready for back to school but with this heat, I can’t possibly think of putting on a pair of jeans! Good thing Old Navy added this (and other) beautiful floral prints to their fall collection. These dresses are perfect for us to wear now and I can see us styling them with a cool varsity jackets, graphic t’s and tennis shoes during the cooler months.

Have you guys started your back to school shopping yet? I definitely recommend checking out Old Navy because they have the best styles for trends and everyday basics. The best part is, their clothes are so affordable which is great when you have a growing kid! Below are few other styles I’m loving! Make sure you check out their denim section– Old Navy has the most comfortable (and stylish) jeans!

Maternity Style – Summer Jumpsuit

Maternity Style – Week 19

If you saw my first #maternitystyle post here then i’m sure you’ll know that I’m trying to document my #bumpstyle. Lately, I have been LOVING jumpsuits and I can’t seem to get enough.

Maternity Style Jumpsuits

I’ve been living in jumpsuits as of late– I think it’s because most of them are so forgiving with weight gain. This one that I’m wearing is a new and a current favorite. I love how light and breezy it is. The price tag is a little hefty but it’s so nice and loose that I can see myself growing into it with my bump. Check out the below for other jumpsuits I purchased and have been wearing recently.
