30 in Kauai

I’m listening to the Beach Boys station on Pandora and day-dreaming of a Hawaiian beach, a cabana, pina coladas, palm trees blowing in the breeze, and the strings of a ukulele. It’s still a year away, but I’m so excited for Hawaii I can barely stand it. I’m currently obsessing over the Vintage Hawaii theme . . . I can tell why my mom was so in love with Elvis back in the day. He’s an absolute hunk! I think I need to rent me some Blue Hawaii ASAP. Maybe this weekend:)

I’ve started planning for my 30th in Hawaii {a year from now, remember} and am playing around with some different themes. I have to have a theme. I’d like to take your vote at the end – here is 1 of 3:

To help you visualize: it’s a mix between those old airplane print ads {upper right} and Elvis’ Blue Hawaii days. I am picturing vintage-style bathing suits {I love this one}, red lips, red nails, traditional Hawaiian prints, short{er} swim trunks for the guys {he.he.}, and leis all the way. I already have my eye on some vintage-themed hawaiian stamps. Theme #2 coming soon!
