We arrived home late Saturday night + headed straight to bed…. and woke up to a Sunday filled with getting our lives back together for the week ahead….

I remember standing with my feet in the ocean at the beginning of the vacation, the rest of my family off in the ocean (#AfraidOfSharks…), + chatting with my dad. We were taking in the view and remarking about how spectacular the entire experience was (Hawaii has that impact on you…). I can’t remember what his exact words were, but it was something like “Take it all in + just be present in the moment… because before we know it the trip will be over.”

 And as we arrived at the airport Saturday morning to head home, I couldn’t help but feel as if we had just been there… excited to start the next ten days of vacation together. Those ten days went by faster than I could have imagined + I am so blessed to have had that uninterrupted time with my family in such a beautiful place….

But it was a reminder that life really flies. To be present… in the good + bad. As the saying goes, to be present over perfect. So that’s what I’m taking into this new week ahead. I

hope you have a good one friends!

(I’ll have a full recap of our trip up later this week.)

(Sipped the last Mai Tais of the trip down by the water with my sister…)

(And then took in one last sunset…. top, suit, sunglasses)

(All about comfort for the long flight home…. joggers, tank, Harper’s Leggings, Tank, TJ’s Joggers, Tee)

(The most beautiful sky….)

(An early morning grocery store run for breakfast essentials….)

(Back to life, back to reality… a few Sunday errands… shorts, tee, purse)

(Reunited with our furry little babe…. jumpsuit)

This trip was every bit as indulgent as I anticipated so it’s time to get back to clean eating and regularly working out… looking forward to heading out on my morning run tomorrow. I snagged this workout top for Hawaii and I loved wearing it for our long walks…

Free People has so much beautiful new arrivals… a lot of fall pieces that you could wear now and later. I’m currently loving this oversized maxi cardigan, inside out pullover (the blue mist color is gorgeous), billowy sleeved blouse, matching shorts + tee set (great for end of summer… and fall with this oversized denim jacket),  and this front knotted ribbed pullover.

The sleeves on this basic tee are too cute…

I bought these jeans right before Hawaii and absolutely love the distressing on them!

If you have somewhere “fun” to go (date night, GNO, etc…) this leopard top + skirt combo would be SO cute. OR, this shorter ruffle leopard skirt with a black bodysuit would be great too.

This oversized bubble sleeve sweatshirt looks super comfortable and as if it would be such a great everyday basic….

Obsessed with the mauve color of this basic thermal…. wear with cut-offs now + jeans later….

The sleeves on this Madewell cardigan are gorgeous!

This camel colored duster cardigan is beautiful…
