As promised: snapshots from our belated honeymoon in Kauai. I limited it to ten. (You're welcome.)

lessons learned in Kauai
(and while traveling to and from)
number one: I may not actually like hiking. I mean, at least not as much as I want to.
number two: I love fish tacos. Love love love. And macadamia nut ice cream. However, I remain ambivalent about sushi, much to K's dismay.
number three: Why does everyone and their mother seem to think that they deserve to de-board the plane before everybody else? (Okay, this is more of an observation than a lesson, but still.)
number four: One super cute dress is all you need, even if your vacation is a full week long. Fine, maybe two dresses. But not three and definitely not four.
number five: Nothing destroys a pedicure as well as wet sand in your sneakers at the end of an eight mile hike. At least my shoes survived.
number six: Apparently there's a right way to apply sunscreen (patting it in) and a wrong way to apply sunscreen (rubbing it in).
number seven: Sandals are not optional on Ke'e beach. Trust me. Hottest. Sand. Ever.
number eight: Guacamole is a totally legitimate breakfast food.
number nine: Rats are nocturnal; mongooses are not.

number ten: When housekeeping asks if you'd like turndown service, say yes. Turning down free chocolate is just dumb.
Pretty photos to come!

belated honeymoon essential #7: the cover-up
rainbow mini cover-up dress // Mara Hoffman // $264
I die for Mara Hoffman prints and the one on this cover-up is no exception. Totally honeymoon-worthy, right? And how perfect would it look with the Panama hat I posted yesterday? I know it's a splurge but there has to be some way to convince K that this is a necessary purchase. (Suggestions welcome.)

belated honeymoon essential #6: the Panama hat
I honestly don't understand how other women manage to have such normal-looking hair in the summer. As soon as I step out of my house, my naturally wavy hair turns into some kind of Medusa-esque monstrosity. Truly, "frizzy" doesn't even begin to cover it. Fortunately, warm weather is also a perfect excuse to wear a Panama hat. I'm hoping that this version from JCrew will fool everyone in Kauai into thinking that I'm super stylish rather than just super lazy about personal grooming.

belated honeymoon essential #5: the statement necklace
"Gwyneth" necklace // Loren Hope // $165
Belated honeymoon essential #5: the statement necklace. My current favorite is this gorgeous sparkler from Loren Hope. Perfect for dressing up a plain tee and making it look like you put way more effort into your outfit than you actually did.
PS – A little outside of your price range? Yeah, me, too. Le sigh. But check out Bauble Bar's necklace section for a ton of affordable options. I'm loving this one (super similar to the one above), this one, and this one.
