Cut-Offs & Coconuts

Fresh coconut water


Aloha! I just got home from my jaunt to Hawaii. Of all the things I crammed in my carry-on, I was especially excited about these cut-offs, mostly because I'd finally slathered on enough St. Tropez to feel good in an orange-and-white print. After an afternoon of SUP (seriously, so much fun), my husband and I hit up the fruit stand across from the beach for some fresh coconut water and a sandy stroll. I paired these short shorts with white sandals (love the cool cut-outs), a breezy white tank, and a skinny belt to keep it all in place. I also wore a huge floppy hat because these days, the only tan I want comes from a bottle.

Later that night, we traded our coconuts for Mai Tais and witnessed a breathtaking sunset. To see more pics from the trip, follow me on Instagram!

    That last photo is breathtaking! You look very beachy and cute, and I am with you on the tan thing- SPF 50 and St Tropez for me:)

    So jealous I can't wait to go back. Sounds like you had so much fun:) You should come up to LA we go paddleboarding all the time (although it's near impossible to compare it to paddleboarding in Hawaii).

      Yes! I totally want to move to Malibu so I can SUP everyday. That's where all the celebs SUP, right? :) I'd love to join you there! xo

    your trip looked amazing and huge kudos for St. Tropez - tans should only come from a (top shelf) bottle ;)

    Marlen, you are too sweet! Trust me, I've looked orange plenty of times in the past, but thankfully, self-tanners have gotten so much better that I usually turn out okay. I really like the St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse for special occasions (like vacation) when I want a darker tan, but for everyday use, I also love Jergens Natural Glow.
