Aloha ʻOe

Honolulu turned out to be a lot different than I thought it would be. It’s a big city with a lot of cars, traffic, and people. I should have known since it is the hub of the islands. Wikipedia told me that Honolulu is the most remote city of its size in the world! The first…

¡Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Happy Cinco de Mayo, my friends! It seems fitting after my most recent posts about my first trip to the beautiful country. Nothing like 100% cotton peasant tops (from my middle school favorite, American Eagle), a great set of wedges, and a new pair of polka dots Nikes. I went a little crazy with my…

What good is a camera if you can’t knock it around and throw it into the ocean?

the not so mushy-gushy & full of frills guide to a sneakerhead’s dream DIY wedding

Weddings and wedding photography can be overwhelming and sometimes arguably quite nauseating, so pardon this extreme moment of narcissism on my part if it’s not your thing. Let it be known that you were fairly warned before this wealth of pictures pushes you over the edge into the murky waters of a facebook rant about how…

London in Nikes

After spending 4 or 5 days in London, all I could think was–this place is huge! I averaged walking about 10 miles a day. You can’t even begin to compare the magnitude of Chicago (where I live) to London. It’s more like a shorter, more spread out version of New York. The diversity of the population is…
