Jewelry // Bracelets: c/o Henri Lou Jewelry + 31Bits + c/o Ettika // Handbag: Parazul ( win one here !) Just like I love small businesses, I love discovering unique little cafes and boutiques. There's something so exciting about finding a place that you hadn't heard of before. I get this thrill as if I am the first person to ever find such a gem. That's how I felt about Waialua Bakery . It's a cute little bakery and juice bar located in Haleiwa. I haven't tried everything on their menu yet, but I'll definitely be back for more!

A few days ago, Eun Hae and I went on the ultimate date, visiting several coffee shops along the streets of North Shore. These pictures are from our first stop, Coffee Gallery in Haleiwa. It was then that the theme of "the little things" entered my mind and never left. From the smell of coffee that surrounded me when I entered the cafe, to the coffee bags that covered the ceiling, to the little garden and picnic area outside... every little thing about this place made me fall in love. Even the coffee art in my

By now, most of us are not only users of Pinterest but we're also big fans and borderline obsessive. I could spend hours pinning! Although I'm active on the site, am I using it to it's full potential? This is a question I've been asking myself recently after reviewing some of my Pinterest statistics and blog traffic. I found this article that included the infographic below. It answered a lot of my questions and lists 10 strategic ways to optimize your Pinterest page. I thought I'd pass on the info!

What I'm Wearing --- Dress: Bamboo Sky ( similar ) // Necklaces: gift + Ginger13 // Bracelet: Ginger13 // Tiffany Kunz Basal Ring : c/o  Hazel2Blue (use code JESSICAWHO for 20% off) One of the many things that I will miss when we leave this place is the endless amount of beautiful scenery. I mean really, you could look like crap but if I put you in front of a background like this it would make a perfect picture. That's my trick. I try to take photos for the blog in front of incredible backdrops. That way when I don't look so incredible, maybe you won't notice ;)  Accessories can do the same thing. They make a simple little outfit, so much better. Like the yummiest icing on top of a so-so cupcake. That's how I feel about this Tiffany Kunz Bronze Basal Ring from Hazel2Blue . It makes any outfit better. Hazel2Blue has a lot of that stuff. You know, the "makes your outfit better" kind of stuff. Hazel2Bl
