Island holidays

Aloha, Hawaiʻi! 

It feels so good to be back home in the islands. We just got in two days ago and have been busy since we landed.

 

Today was our first dip in the ocean. Dont mind my sour face below - I promise I too was very happy to be there.

We can be Christmassy in Hawaii too, you know. The Sandman of Kaohao wants to wish you Mele Kalikimaka!

 

Yep, we work with what we got here in Hawaiʻi!

Bundling up for winter

 

With temperatures dropping and Christmas right around the corner, I realized I needed a new coat. While I love the few vintage ones I have - that collection is swiftly expanding, might I add - I am afraid to wear them as everyday coats for fear of ruining them. After all, I'm not the most graceful, delicate flower. Okay fine, I'm straight up clumsy sometimes.

A beautiful Malmö afternoon. (Yes, afternoon, not evening. Yes, the sun is already going down.) Who wouldn't want to bundle up for a crisp winter walk on a day like this?

So I decided to get a newly made, 1940's style princess coat from Emmy Design. This cheery red is the perfect thing to brighten up the gloomy winter days and dark nights.

 

But soon I'll be getting away from the cold and gray and this lovely coat will be left on the hanger because tomorrow I'll be on a plane. I'm jetting home for a Hawaiian Christmas!
