"I Climbed Into Bushes to Take These Photos"

I'm fairly certain the title of my post says it all. ;) I climbed into bushes to take these photos, and I'm glad I did, because it was quite the tropical background for my look today. 

I spent another day sunning myself beachfront, and then spent the rest of the afternoon developing my sunburn. (Yes, burn. My entire body is burned. I apply SPF 50 like it's my job, so this is quite the disappointment. I'll need to stay in the shade tomorrow!) 

After a day in the sun, we drove to Lahaina for some delicious dinner (and malasadas - Portuguese donuts - for dessert) at Star Noodle!

Photos of Hawaiian landscape will never get old, right? Good...

{can you see the rainbow in the center?!}

And on another note...

{my overly ambitious summer reading stack! by tomorrow, i should be about 2.5 down!}

{udon + pad thai!}

More to come… I have another 5 days here!

Coachella 2014: Day Three

{tee: stylemint | shorts: i don't remember! (similar, similar) | booties: minnetonka (i'm trying to sell these size 7s on my poshmark account! + many available on ebay) | hat: nasty gal (similar) | sunglasses: target (still available in black)}

Ok, I was totally comfortable on Sunday! These soft shorts and basic tee and easy-peasy booties… nice and comfy. The hat was nice to keep the sun out of my face, but the hat also made my head hot. You win some, you lose some. Luckily, the wind and dust settled down on Day 3, and after sleeping in a little, I was ready to enjoy a full day of beautiful music!

My Day 3 line-up : Classixx, The 1975, Little Dragon, Lana Del Rey, Neutral Milk Hotel (I have been dying to see them since I was 18!), Beck, and Arcade Fire (Hearing them perform "Tunnels" was unreal!).

I pretend this is true every year, but I think I've got this whole all-day, 3-day-long festival thing down now. Sure, there are moments of "it's so hot I'm going to die" and "I'm so tired I'm going to cry" or "there's no way I'm doing this next year," but as I was leaving Coachella Sunday night, I thought, I can't wait to come back next year. Sigh. :) & a happy Coachella was had by all. 

I took a sweet little collection of Instagram photos over the weekend, and I'll share those on here tomorrow! See you then!
