HAUTE HAWAII #DVFlovesROXY

Since I’m headed to Hawaii next week for my grandfather’s 90th birthday, the DVF swimwear collection for Roxy is really speaking to me right now — two faves rolled up into one. I grew up on the North Shore of Oahu where the surfing culture figures prominently in daily life. Girls didn’t really surf back then, so it especially warms my heart to see two local surfer girls (Monyca Byrne Wickey and Kelia Moniz) as the models for the campaign. I thought it was quite fitting for Diane von Furstenberg — who is all about highlighting a woman’s strengths — to use beautiful, confident, real wahine. Surfer chic done right, if you ask me…

Hawaii is such a special place. I’m really looking forward to heading “home” and immersing myself back into the local lifestyle, even if just for a week. The people, the food, the music, the beauty — there is nothing like it in the world!

    That’s so cool you grew up in Hawaii! I’ve always wanted to be a surfer girl – the culture is just so alluring. Happy trip!

    Love the patterns and color palette of this collection. Surprisingly (for me), the green bikini is my fave here. I’m in the market, so I’m going to be bookmarking that one for sure.

    My dad and his family are from the North Shore (Kahuku). My sisters and I grew up visiting our grandparents there every summer. Just discovered your blog and love it! Particularly the vintage photos of your grandmother — they remind me of some of my Auntie Haruko. Have a great trip! Aloha. :)
