maui vacation: part four


Okay, I promise this is the last round of vacation photos. I shot these on my favorite little point-and-shoot camera that has an amazing underwater case. We snorkeled almost every day of our vacation, and the highlight was swimming with several turtles who didn't seem to mind us following them around and making crazy squealing noises through our snorkel gear. Dressing for Maui was fun for me because for once I didn't have to think about layering. One dress, one pair of sandals, one tote bag... I'll admit I was out of my element but I enjoyed every second of it. I brought four swimsuits with me (yes, for a one-week vacation) but I ended up wearing the same white J. Crew one-piece the entire time. So much for variety!


Vintage dress, hat borrowed from my mom, H&M heart sunglasses.


Whale watching!



My dad, a cool dude.

Our resort had a slide... probably meant mostly for children, but that hardly stopped me!

The J. Crew liberty-print swimsuit I lived in for the entire vacation.


Vintage hat, vintage dress, vintage bag, UO jelly sandals.




We snorkeled right above a coral reef! It was much more colorful in person but I like how moody these photos turned out.

It's not a proper vacation without some finger-over-the-lens photos! This finger belongs to my mom, queen of this style of photography.


One of the best moments of my life.



Safety first!

These exemplify everything I like about lomo/toy photography. Such a sense of whimsy and dreaminess--perfect for fun vacation memories! Your family is so freaking adorable, as are all of your outfits (of course).

And that turtle! Oh my god! What a moment!

I've loved looking @ all your vacation pictures...I'm sad that this is the last of them. Swimming with the turtles looked amazing that's one of dreams!

i think i stayed on the same little strip in Kaanapali when I visited Maui a few years back-- i loved how you could take a walk on that path, stop & have a drink, keep walking, have a swim, and just keep repeating that pattern all day-- you're definitely making me want to go back!

Oh Ashley, these photos are just too sweet. They remind me of my trip to Kawaii like 10 years ago. The sea turtles were unforgettable and everything is just beautiful! Lovely, lovely photos. Can we go on vaca together because I just know we would have fun on all the water slides. :D
XOXO

Your vacation looks like it was sooo much fun! I am longing for a break from school and a vacation of my own. I love your bathing suit. So adorable.
