  • Trust me to inject a little culture and museum time into a traditional beach-centred vacation. One of my faves was the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum on Oahu, which is the state of Hawaii's Museum of Natural and Cultural History. It's amazing! It was founded in 1889 by Charles Reed Bishop in honour of his late wife, Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop, the last descendant of the royal Kamehameha family. I learned so much about Hawaiian culture and the royal Kamehameha bloodline and the museum sent me off me with a rainbow. 🌈
  • The beach around sundown is my favourite. It's less crowded, I won't burn, and it feels kind of calm and special.
  • I've been sharing photos all week of my Hawaii vacation and now I get to share exactly what I packed and my recommendations for your tropical vacations! A lot of people go to Hawaii for the hiking and watersports while my vacation was more about taking it easy, but my packing list covers both, because you can be prepared for anything without overpacking. Link in bio for the full post.
  • I got really good at scoping out the shade situation at beaches. Pale folks know the drill.
  • In Kailua, the house I was staying at was 2 minutes from the beach. Every day started with breakfast, a stroll to get coffee, and some beach time. I didn't bother packing a dedicated beach coverup and just brought lots of dresses that were easy to toss over a bathing suit. I also borrowed beach towels from the house, which meant more room in my suitcase for cute dresses.
  • Rocking a Canadian Tuxedo even in Hawaii.
  • I absolutely love Japanese food and the next best thing to a trip there is visiting Hawaii! Since I got here, I’ve been eating a ton of delicious treats that are hard to find or very expensive in Montreal. The large Japanese community here and the fact that it’s a popular vacation spot for the Japanese have contributed to an impressive selection of authentic restaurants. Even in the shopping malls, places like the Shirokira Japan Village Walk feature so many food vendors, I came back twice.
  • Warm-weather fashion is tricky for me because I don’t wear a lot of boho summery pieces which is often all that’s available in stores. That being said, I’m trying to break free of my dark and neutral colour scheme and Hawaii is the perfect place to experiment with bright colours in a way that still feels like me. Can you believe I only packed five black pieces? Instead of flowery prints though, I’m doing colour on my own terms which means colour-blocking and small doses of happy cheery hues. Case in point: this very fun rash guard that is keeping my skin from burning.
