aloha {part I.}

this 59 degree, cloudy oregon weather has been a bit of a "struggle." the past few mornings i woke up expecting to look out the window and see palm trees and sunshine. i guess ten days in maui really spoiled me. i have been relying on plumeria candles, caramacs, & coconut EVERYTHING to slowly readjust to the beautiful, albeit chilly, pacific northwest fall. from hula cookies & swim suits to pumpkin spice lattes and sweaters...

and now for the first of many photos from my hawaiian nanny job holiday.
