Day 5 (Last Day) in Kauai, Helicopter ride!!

Today is the last day we stay at Kauai, and I think we at least get a taste of what's on this beautiful island!! Next year, we are visiting Big Island and Honolulu(haven't visited there for nearly 10 years) for sure!! =^*^=

We leave the last day to ride the Helicopter to overlook the whole island once again which is like a summary to end our trip! Our helicopter won't fly until afternoon, which means we got time to explore more of this island.

You know you almost can exercise anywhere in various ways!! 

Don't be lazy, get your muscle toned and cardio. going!! ^^

 Gucci VS. Chris Benz s/s 2011

Refresh your look with little help from trendy accessory ----- Tassel belt!!

Left: Tsumori Chisato paw striped tee

RIght: No brand rainbow cropped tank, Beige/gold tassel belt taken from HM jumpsuit

Both pair with Mandarin and General washed silk pants, BCBG Generation wedge.

We had brunch at Java Kai where they serve delicious Panini sandwich, and all kinds of blended coffee.

I wore long BCBG pocket tee with lace trim and swimming suit underneath most of the time in Kauai...how convenience is that! ^O^

Here is our catch of the day!  {whisper voice- it is not edible.}

PS. The silly look of belt pouch is actually life vest hidden inside.

Waterfall


Coastline

This is a very dangerous pose.....as I am not supposed to rise my arm up high (As you see the guide, she almost freaked out by looking at me there.)

{Voice in my mind: I am glad my fingers are not getting chopped off.... grrr...... }

We are going home tomorrow.....yeah~~

Hope you get a taste of what's it like in Kauai.

Colorful Stripes!!

I bought this rainbow-colored striped tank from a boutique called 'SWAY" in Santa Cruz!! It is only $20, the best deal for the hottest trend ever. ^O^

This seem-to-be cropped striped tank is a perfect match for this HM high-waist crop pants. 


The back view of this tank is very alluring~~ 


("Bianca" is the most comfortable and elegant looking heels among CLs I had tried so far....oh, other than "simple" pump. )




 This aged used-to-be blazer from Zara now a "vest" still have my love!! ^^

Don't forget my previous post of $100 SHOPBOP GC giveaway!

Misc.!!

You must think that pair of Pierre Hardy platform sandals are way pricy....for everybody...even me!! Yes, I must admit the fact that it is ridiculously priced for $1280 but I am madly in LOVE w/ it.

This pair of brown suede lace-up peep toe wedge is also from Pierre Hardy... for GAP. And only a fraction of its own label $150. 

I was browsing stylebubble's blog and found this runway look so familiar... :P Of course, because of the vagaries of fashion, everyone couldn't be settled for just ONE trend or ONE look. But inspiration is a vital element when looking at a runway show and when it comes to pair ensembles from your own wardrobe!! 

look from:  Ohne Titel 



I wore this whole ensemble to Barney's warehouse sale couple months ago. 






Last summer look~~

I am putting away all summer clothes!
I suggest you do the same. ^O^

End of Summer Sandals.

I hope you all prepared for new school year.... moms for kids and students for themselves. Others for their annual bonus!! ^O^   I guess we won't have a small vacation before our Italy trip in October then.

I feel that I have to plan kids' schedule smartly so I will have time left for myself, for them and still get to have a restful weekend!! However, I am hardly punctilious about their school work but more of my childrens' manners. I think that's my #1 rule of cultivating my children growing up.  Agree?

Last weekend, I put away couple summer tops that I think I won't be wearing them anymore. And soon I'll have to store away temporarily this Chole sandals until next year.... unless I can incorporate socks w/ this sandals to make it works for fall.  We'll see then. 

My birthday is around the corner and I can't believe that I can't find a decent Chanel bag for $3000 anymore. ~~ *sigh*  

Any suggestion, girls? What would you be willing to spend on for $3000?
