I am so delighted and inspired to share Acacia Swimwear's new 2013 line on Mischief. I am still in need of my own Acacia and have not purchased one yet but every photo that I post makes me want one that much more. I swear I need a bikini jar at my house for loose change and dollar bills. This year, Lyndie and Naomi are introducing cover ups and a couple new prints... I am sure you can tell which print I like from the photos I chose, but I am stoked to see these new additions to the line. I hope you enjoy the photos.

Wildfox Summer 2012- Sirene:: Makena:: Big Beach
From the Wildfox site-
"We all wish we were part of a fairy tale, some magical creature in some great love story.
A little mermaid with pearls in her long pink hair gliding through the warm salty water, in love with some beautiful sailor who she sees on a ship, handsome brown eyes and a different world. Our lives are more similar to fairy tales than we think, and everywhere around us there is magic. White sand that glitters in the sun and gets stuck like diamonds to your skin, sugarcane fields under the clouds that taste sweet in the rain, running barefoot on the hot pavement to meet a boy in town, long days of summer where the moon comes out along with the sun.
Wildfox Summer collection is to be pulled on over a bikini, drying off from the water on a tropical island, sunkissed shoulders and smelling of sunscreen & coconut oil. It is for little mermaids everywhere who belive in their own fairy tale coming true."

I JUST LOVE THIS SHOOT!! I have been anxiously awaiting it since I saw a photo post on Wildfox a bit ago... my Mom and Aunt live pretty close to Makena aka Big Beach in Kihei Maui and I knew that they had done a shoot there... It is my favorite beach on Maui... the water is just so turquoise & warm! Swooning! Big Ups to the girls at Wilfox for making dreams come true for all of us mermaid lovers.

Hawaiian Healing
I can't tell you guys enough how blessed I feel to have family in Hawaii and how much aloha they really have. I spent 10 magical days on the Island of Maui and took some photos to share with you. Life is pretty simple once you start seeing the beauty in it. Sometimes, we all just need a vacation to see that beauty.
My Momma, relaxing.
Love this Island.
I was defiantly bird watching. This little critter was cracking me up.

All time photo. This Hawaiian just took a toke right before he jumped in the water. Check out the smoke. And I think the kid is flipping me off. So great.
