I wholeheartedly believe that life is meant for great adventure. Which is why traveling is my passion; I left home on O'ahu just to be able to travel more frequently by living on the mainland. Second best thing to exploring the globe are "staycations". I love discovering the many beautiful settings Southern California has to offer - a days journey can take you from the beach, to the snowy mountains.  Sometimes, you'll find a place that feels like you've stepped into another country; maybe even another era.  This occasion felt like both - and was exactly what I envisioned with this darling  Stop Staring  dress.  This is  the  dress that makes you feel girly yet glamorous... even if all you intend to do for the day is head to the grocery store.  I'll be honest - white is usually a color I steer clear from... though after spending the day frolicking around in this beauty, I get it now.  The same way we ladies need to own that "little black dress&
