{ THURS-daydream } hawaii in the 50s

2 more days in hawaii (then i'll be back to my blogging self, promise!). today we're heading to tour pearl harbor & then tomorrow we're spending the day at one final beach (ko olina) before catching an all-nighter back home.

sometimes i like to daydream about hawaii in the 50s! and being one of these lovely ladies:

i would totally wear ...

1 // this amazing karen nielsen vintage floral suit (via asos) ... a mega splurge $481.77.

2 // this by the sea sun hat from roxy ... much more appropriately priced @ $19.60.

3 // this woven romper from fossil ... $58.00.

4 // these 1950s inspired nerd-chic sunglasses from steve madden ... $36.00.

5 // and a copy of my mom, style icon (via modcloth) as the perfect beach read ... $18.99.

 

hope you're having a fantastic week, friends!
