Golden Hour

Top: c/o Fred Meyer Bottom: c/o Fred Meyer Shoes: c/o Fred Meyer Happy Wednesday!
The number one question I get asked the most is how I take my photos on both the blog and Instagram. Well first of all, it takes a lot of trial runs to finally get the right setting that I like. And everything is taken in natural lighting for me. It can't be too bright or too too dark out or else the pictures that I'm aiming for won't come out exactly the way I've envisioned it. Usually I try to pinpoint what it should look like and if they don't come out that way, the set of photos will have to be scraped and re-taken. Sorry to my photographer *aka* the Husband. :) Sometimes I'm up to try new settings such as this set taken during the "golden hour" which is an hour before sunset. I think we need a bit more practice but not too bad. haha.. Also, this outfit that I've put together for Fred Meyer is to show off the beginning of Fall fashion and the upcoming posts that I've partnered up with them for. Stay tuned!

Happy Wednesday!
It's been almost two weeks since we've gotten back from Hawaii and I miss it already!! :( It wasn't my first time being there but each time we go and come back, it makes me wanna go back again! Can we just live there? Seriously.. I always do that with every place we go that I am in love with! When we first landed in Oahu, we knew right away that we wanted to head back to our FAVORITE beach ever which is Lanikai beach located in Kailua. I absolutely cannot tell you how gorgeous this beach is compared to the beach in Waikiki. And if you guys followed my Snapchat or Insta-stories you would've found out that Lanikai was also the place that the Hubs proposed to me almost 7 years ago and we found the exact spot where he did it as well. It brought back a lot of memories! <3
We had only planned to stay maybe an hour or two but ended up staying until Sunset which was so beautiful as you can tell from the photos above! Lanikai will always have a special place in my heart!

Mint Julep Slouchy Sunday feat. Larimar Bliss

Happy Sunday!

I normally don't post on the weekends but it's an important day because The Mint Julep Boutique is having their Slouchy Sunday flash sale happening today only! I've talked about this on my Snapchat yesterday so for those who saw it got to know exclusively first but their slouchy dolman tunic top is on sale for half the price which is major deals! You can only get it today so don't miss out because once it's over, the price for each top will go back to their original price of $48. :) They have some specific colors that you can choose like these red/grey and cobalt blue ones which are perfect for the upcoming Fall season! Seriously.. don't miss out and get your hands on them before it's too late!

Also, I've been away on vacation and just got back so you'll be seeing more vacay pics of our Hawaii trip coming pretty soon. I'm a bit sad because I was sent this gorgeous turquoise bangle from Larimar Bliss that would've been perfect with some of my outfits in Hawaii but it's okay because it still pairs well with the cobalt blue tunic above as you can see. I've been wearing it ever since. :)

Happy Socks

Happy Wednesday!
I've never been much of a socks kind of girl but when Happy Socks reached out to me asking if I would like to collaborate, I thought their socks and underwear were super cute and fun! Granted I chose more "safer" patterns and colors, they came with such cute packaging and also the comfort is there esp these polka dot liners! :)  
They also provided me with a discount code "HAPPYSHEILA" for all my readers for a limited time to save 20% off your entire purchase + free shipping! Code will expire in 48 hours.

GoCustomized

Happy Friday!
If you've been following me for awhile now, you would know that I love a new phone case every time the season changes. It's that simple accessory that you can change up easily to go with your mood or even your outfit! So when GoCustomized contacted me to see if I would like to create my own personalised iPhone 6 case, I jumped right on it! I wanted to make a summer-y phone case and since lately I've been obsessed with palm leaves and pineapples.. what better fit to make those two things as part of the case itself? So after searching around, I came across this cute print from Lauren Conrad and I went thru their simple process of putting this case together and viola! GoCustomized also offers a wide range of personalised phone cases that you can pick through to fit what you exactly want!
