Happy Monday from Hawaii! Phil and I arrived in Hawaii this weekend and we are having such a great time already. It’s our first time here for both of us. Ever since we honeymooned in Bora Bora we’ve wanted to come to Hawaii to see how similar it is. So far we’ve only been in Honolulu, but today we head to the Big Island which we are so excited about. If you follow along Instagram you’ve probably already seen some of what we’ve been up to. We’re staying at The Modern Hotel in Honolulu – which is such a gorgeous hotel. I’m obsessed with the decor – it reminds me of the Hamptons. We’ve had a great time at the pools here and the location near Waikiki Beach is so convenient. Yesterday we took a helicopter ride around the island with Paradise Helicopters. It was our second time doing a helicopter tour (we did one in Vegas and the Grand Canyon years ago) and it was just as fun as I remember although I’m prone to motion sickness and terrified of heights. We saw some amazing sights like Pearl Harbor, Jurassic Park’s set location and the 1,000 foot waterfall – Sacred Falls. It was stunning! I’ll be sharing a full travel guide soon! Today I wanted to share this pretty palm print dress that I found just before our trip and of course, it was one of the first pieces I wanted to wear here. We spent the afternoon at the pool yesterday and I wore this dress instead of a swimsuit because it was a little cloudy. It works great as a maxi or a cover-up. Follow along on Instagram to see more of what we’re up to. We’ll be here all week.
