One of the biggest trends this summer is the jumpsuit. While this style has been trending for a few years now, it really has exploded for summer 2019. So, when I was planning my outfits for my Hawaiian vacation this summer, I knew I needed at least one jumpsuit in my suitcase.

I was thrilled to find this stripe jumpsuit. It has enough color to work on an island adventure, yet offers dark enough colors that I can urbanize it for back home. Love versatility!

For Hawaii, I paired my jumpsuit with my comfy espadrille wedges, and this fun bag which has tons of island vibes. It was really comfortable, and looked put together for a beachfront dinner. When we arrived at the dinner location we had reservations at, we learned they only had a buffet option for dinner, and it wasn’t going to work for the kids. Why couldn’t we just order off the regular menu?? Ugh, so we cancelled our reservation and walked one block to a cute little sushi place tucked behind another building.

Seiji’s Sushi was so good! They only had three tables, a few bar stools, and a really small menu, but it was ok. The chef made chicken katsu special for my son, and they were very attentive. The food was delicious, and we are so thankful we found Seiji’s Sushi! If you visit Kona, be sure to pop in for some sushi! You will love it!

My jumpsuit is sold out, but they have plenty of other cute jumpsuits in stock. I put my favorites in the shopping widget below.

I am looking forward to re-styling this jumpsuit back home. It will look chic during the day with a black Givenchy Antigona and black sandals, as well as a small Chanel shoulder bag and heels for evening occasions. Love versatility!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more posts from our island adventure!

The most beautiful beach on the Big Island

aiopio beach hawaii travel guide hawaii big island beaches

One of the most beautiful sights to see in Hawaii is the large network of beaches. So when I was planning our family vacation to Hawaii, I knew I needed to research where to go, and plan ahead!

In the Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park, there is a beach which is not only beautiful, it is sacred ground filled with history. What we thought would be a hike through lava, turned out to be a short walk to a beach that was hidden behind a marina; and has to be the most beautiful beach I have ever seen in my life. Ai’opio Beach, you have to go there!

After walking on a trail, and almost overheating, we suddenly came upon the beach. We knew it was there, but we had no idea how dreamy it would be. There was a hut, which we later found out was a sacred and historical fishing hut. In the water, there were what appeared to be short walls made from lava rocks. They turned out to be ancient foundations for sacred buildings and fishing huts.

There was also a short wall which was an ancient fishing area that fishermen used to trap fish, and then capture them with nets. It was a  beautiful little cove, and the ancient foundations and history made it all the more beautiful.

It’s always fun to learn more about the local history of the places we visit. It is not only educational for the kids, it helps us understand the local area; plus it’s super interesting!

In addition to history, we had a turtle sighting! There were two swimming in the water where it was really shallow. One of the turtles stuck it’s head out when we were watching it; as if it were saying “Aloha!” We were so excited to see the turtles.

If you are traveling to the Big Island, this beach is a must-see! You can park in the Marina, and then follow the signs to the shore which will lead you on a path to this amazing beach. It’s a must-do!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more Hawaii coverage!
