Toast to the Coast

While Lili chats up the italians about yarn and fabric in NYC….I am chatting it up with the Italian club here in Honolulu. Tonight, we are having a real Italian meal for Honolulu restaurant week. I am getting the scoop on traveling to Italy direct from the source. Planning to do a road trip along the Amalfi Coast next May with my Mom. Fine wine is divine. xo Gushing Guava photo via my-bellavita.com

Happy Thursday from Northshore

I couldn’t sleep this morning so I drove out to the Northshore at sunrise. It is absolutely stunning today and the water is crystal clear. Shelling, sunning and surfing…perfect. Xo Guava

shell sisters

guava and i love collecting shells.  yes most girls like diamonds, but we are beach lovers and can spend a whole day searching for the next inspiration.  here are our finds from long beach.  not quite as bright as hawaiian shells, but we love the muted blacks and blues.
