vacay recap!

soooo I'm back from my amazing vacay in Oahu, Hawaii! it was just a short trip & of course i wish i was longer, but I'm happy to be home...I'm just lucky to be in love with where i live

once again Hawaii didn't disappoint...however, I am use to going to Maui. I’ve only been to Oahu one other time when I was younger so this was still kinda new to me & oh man was i shocked...

we stayed at the Outrigger Reef on the Beach located smack in the middle of Waikiki...our hotel was on the beach so it was very convenient....but even better; I was literally surrounded by stores...& i don't mean your  typical shopping mall stores...i mean huge, designer stores....everywhere i looked there was Tory Burch & Louis Vuitton. I was in heaven...it literally was like Disneyland for shopping...every single store was so beautiful & so brilliantly merchandised...i felt like i was in a museum of art, that’s how amazing it was....and let me tell you i have shopped everywhere - SF, LA  & NY & this by far was the best shopping I have ever come across (until i go to Europe that is)...don't worry i took plenty of pictures...but because I took so many each day this week will focus on different store, so get excited!

today’s post is just going to be a "photo dump" of my Hawaiian vacation! so sit back & welcome to paradise
