I wore this dress the other day for a sunset sail with Moana Waikiki and I am just in love with it! I took off my heels once I got in the boat of course but this dress was just right. You might expect a dress to blow around too much on a boat but this one is very fitted, the ruffle gives the illusion that it is looser I think and that's great!

This morning we actually went back out with Moana Waikiki and they took us to this amazing spot to swim with the turtles! There were so many turtles!! I got cold really fast though the water is technically/supposedly warm (like 75 F?) and had to get out after half an hour. It was such a great experience though and Johnny (our guide) really knows his stuff!

Also for anyone wondering, when it comes to makeup and snorkeling, it doesn't work together :( I wore a little foundation, filled my brows lightly, added some light black pencil liner on my upper lid and it was all gone by the time I got out. My recommendation: face self tanner for at least 3-5 days previous,  temporary eyebrow dye (I like Godefroy Eyebrow Tint) or microbladed brows for those light eyebrow gals, and eyelash extensions if you feel like shelling out the $$$, though in general eyelash extensions are so perfect for those summer vacations when you want to go makeup free but still look naturally glam.

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! We've been having crazy weather lately, and the rain has been non-stop. Since California has been in a terrible drought the last few years it is wonderful we've been getting rain (though, it's been a little too much and there's been some flooding--stay safe everyone!). I'm in Hawaii right now and it's mostly been warm, beautiful weather but even we've had some crazy rainy days. I'm crossing my fingers the weather clears up for everybody this week!

As you guys can see, I bought these AMAZZZING Joie boots in both gray and black!!! First I ordered the black ones to check the fit and once I saw how perfect they were for skinny legs like mine (11.5 calf circumference) I immediately ordered the gray ones too :)

I decided to pair these black OTK boots with a look I picked up from Kitsch Couture in downtown Los Gatos recently, so hopefully they haven't sold out of these pieces! The turtleneck I am wearing is the softest sweater ever... I think I had one of this same material when I was like nine years old, and it was hot pink :)

Suede minis have been trending since about fall and I hope it goes into spring a little. I love mini skirts in general and the more creative the fashion industry can get with them, the better!! In a few hours I'm off to Hawaii though so you can expect to see some summery looks real soon!
XOXO

I personally prefer to make a list of goals whenever the inspiration hits me! Which ends up being pretty often. I don't know if it's over ambitious or not but I usually feel like I end up accomplishing more rather than waiting to do it once a year on January 1st.

However, this post will be all about how to make goals and succeed at obtaining them since many people like to do it once a year. A recent study from the University of Scranton’s Journal of Clinical Psychology found only eight percent of those who make a New Year’s resolution see their goals come to fruition. Here are my suggestions based on what I have learned through research and experience:
