Essentials

 

 

Here are some of my most favorite essentials.  These are must haves for everyday.  An essential piece will usually translate for both day and evening and normally are first on your list to use.  

 

1. The "Artsy" Handbag by Louis Vuitton.  Let me first start by saying that this was huge purchase but sooo worth it.  I  believe that a purchase of this magnitude can be justified if it becomes a staple or essential piece in your life , which for me this is.  I use this bag everyday and I LOVE every minute of wear.  It makes me utterly happy and for me that is worth every penny. The quality of a high end bag like this will hold true for years and if truly a essential piece, should never go out of style. 

 

2. Bomber Eyewear Sunglasses.  These are a must have, especially in the summer, because they are so comfortable and durable.  I prefer these over my high end luxury glasses because they perform so much better.  Not only are the uber stylish but are polarized for supreme eye protection from harmful UV rays.  In addition, the foam lining makes them unbelievably comfortable and float, which is a cool and extremely helpful feature for all types of water activity.  Don't forget to use PROMO CODE: DAVBOMB20 for 20% off entire purchase at http://www.bombereyewear.com/

 

3. Dior Dream Skin:  This is a must have since I can apply this and leave the house feeling confident because it provides a light radiant cover masking those imperfections that leave you feeling less than super model like.  With kids, I don't have time to always apply the full face of makeup and I love having this in my skincare arsenal.  This is pricey but again, I use this everyday, including under my foundation routine and worth every penny. Most times, high end products normally are.  Shop Dior Dream Skin at http://www.sephora.com/

 

4. Wire + Salt Bangles:  These stacked bangles add a nice bling to any outfit dressing it up just enough.  I can wear these both day and night and with any outfit.  Who doesn't love arm bling? Find your bling at https://www.etsy.com/shop/WireandSaltJewelry?ref=l2-shopheader-name

 

5. Zara Basic Tank:  Every girl needs a go to tank that makes them feel sexy and comfy.  I have multiples of this tank which are a necessity.  I layer them, tuck them, wear alone, and out at the beach.  These are so versatile and definitely a wardrobe must have.  Shop this at http://www.zara.com/us/en/woman/t-shirts/sleeveless/basic-tank-top-c718509p3541540.html

 

6. Zara Premium Denim Collection Ripped Jeans:  Ripped Denim is so in right now and adds swag to any outfit.  Find a pair that fits you perfectly and they will be your go to bottom.  For me, these are it because they are so stretchy and fit like a glove.  Find something similar at http://www.zara.com/us/en/woman/jeans/view-all-c719019.html 

 

7. Tory Burch "Chandler" Sandals:  A comfy sandal for me is vital since the weather here is always warm and the walk to my workspace is extremely long.  A neutral color is also very important since it should be able to go with all of my clothes.  Tory Burch sandals are usually always comfy and durable enough for everyday use.  Shop a similar sandal at http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/tory-burch-womens-sandals?origin=leftnav

 

Hope you enjoyed this blog on some of my essential wardrobe items.  Happy shopping!

Bomber Eyewear Sunglasses

 

 

I purchased my first pair of Bomber Eyewear Sunglasses about a month ago and I literally can't stop wearing them.  I would live in them if I could.  Being that it's a new year with a resolution to unplug and enjoy the outdoors,  my family and I have been literally living at the beach and enjoying our beautiful paradise home.  I have also been in a weight loss challenge and been working out constantly either on the beach or outdoors. My Bomber shades, have become my favorite pair to wear during all activities.   They fit so comfortably because of the foam lining and don't fall off like my designer shades do when I'm swimming,  running, etc.  Not only that, but the foam material makes them float!  I don't know about you, but living in Hawaii, I have lost countless pairs of sunglasses in the ocean so in my opinion this is a genius attribute.  Bomber shades are available in men's, women's and kids styles in a variety of frames and colors in both polarized and non polarized lenses.   For all you swag seekers, you must know how HOT mirror lenses are right now and Bomber shades are available in vibrant mirror lenses and frames to fit every style.  Not only functional,  Bomber shades are fashion forward,  perfect for adding swag to any activity.   Best of all, these sunglasses will not break the budget.  They are reasonable priced from about $22 to $50 depending.  You can purchase a pair by going to the website:http://www.bombereyewear.com/ and get 20% OFF entire purchase by using

"Unahi" Bangles by HinaJwlsHawaii

Just got these amazing 14k 12 gauge gold filled "Unahi" Bangles with Tahitian Pearls in from HinaJwlsHawaii.  Native shop owner Alana Lorenzo integrates Mo'olelo spirit into modern jewelry pieces that stand out from the crowd.  I bought these bangles to compliment the three other shell bangles I already own as I was looking to stack more together.  I searched for quite a while looking for something unique, since these types of shell gold filled bracelets are extremely popular right now and around every corner in Hawaii. Alana has so many amazing designs that it was hard to chose but I am so happy with these "Unahi" bangles and can't wait to add more to my collection.  She has a multitude designs available in gold and silver done on rings, earrings and bangles available with different types of embellishments like Tahitian or freshwater pearls.  Whether you are looking for something truly "Mo'olelo" and unique or something effortless for daily use, you must check out HinaJwlsHawaii on Etsy or @HINAJWLSHAWAII on Instagram.  Happy Shopping Hawaii!
