So something that I have been in love with lately is plastic jewelry. I just love the Lucite like pieces, especially when they are in bright colors. Julie found this necklace at H&M when we were shopping in NYC. We both ended up getting it because, well it’s awesome! I will say the next time I wear it it wont be against my skin because it’s a little pokey. The points kept stabbing me. Pain for fashion right? haha

I was also really happy I got to wear this little flutter shoulder shirt in Hawaii. I saw it at forever 21 and thought it was just really adorable, but didn’t want to have to wait till it was warmer to wear it. Spring will you please come to New England!!! Well it is March 1st, so I guess it’s right around the corner right? Last week didn’t feel like it so much but I have high hopes for March.

Did you watch the Hockey game yesterday? I am not a sports girl. I really hate all professional sport (sorry) but hockey is another thing all together. Can you blame me? I am from Canada! Anyways, Kev’s Dad went out in the morning on a mission to find us little American and Canadian flags. It was really sweet and we had a blast watching the game with them. I got to wave my Canadian flag proudly in the end! It was such an AMAZING GAME!!! I can’t even believe it. The announcer was cracking us up right before OT started. He was so worked up and excited. So good!

So these pictures were taken at one of our favorite spots on the island. It’s called Makapu’u. There is an awesome lookout point, a hike, tidal pools and an amazing beach all at this spot. I was excited I got to wear my chinese laundry sandals again on vacation. They are my favorite sandals because they are just so comfy. I also got this tank before I left at Forever 21. I thought it was very fitting to wear in Hawaii. It is sort of hawaii shirt like but it a much cooler way. hehe

So our trip to Hawaii was awesome. It was so great to spend a whole week with Kev and see so many of our friends. Honestly, it was a little emotional landing and getting off the plane together. We have not been back together since the day we moved. It has very special meaning there for us, it was our first home together. Anyways, we lived it up everyday. We drove all over the place visiting all our favorite beaches and places. We went back to our old apartment. We walked around were we use to work and hung out were we use to eat lunch together everyday on bishop street. We got to see Jenni, Toby and the boys as well as Charlie and Gina and Kev’s old Boss Chris and his wife Julie. Everyday was jam packed and we loved it.

I will say the travel time out to hawaii is very hard. It is a long trip and everytime I am on the plane I wonder if it is worth it, but as soon a I walk off that plane and I feel the warm breeze, I smell the sweet air and I see the mountains I know there is no other place like this. It was very hard to leave!

As I was going thru our pictures, I realized we really didnt take all that many. I guess when you lived there and you go back, you don’t really remember to take a lot of pictures because we already have so many. I do wish I had more pictures of all the friends we visited with. Bummer.
Here are a few we did take…

Yay, we are back!! We’ll I don’t know if I would really say yay, I didn’t want to leave but here we are, back in a very snowy Albany. We had a fabulous time!! We love it there so much, it will always have a very special place in our hearts. Tomorrow I will have some vacation pictures to share, but for today we have our first of many vacation style files. I have been dying to dress for warmer weather lately (I am finished with winter!) so I packed my suitcase full of clothes and wore everything I brought. Kev took lots of pictures for me, so hopefully we can spread a little summer cheer to these (hopefully) last days of winter.

Dress: Modcloth
Belt: Forever 21

So I got an email from Jessica a while back asking if I could help her out with an outfit for her bachelorette party in NYC. She said it was going to be a spa day paired with some walking around the city, dinner and some dancing. Sounds like fun huh? Anyways, she wanted an outfit that she could wear all day going from spa to dinner and something that she would be comfortable walking around the city in. I found this awesome dress (which I think is just so pretty) on ThreadSence and I went from there. I paired the dress with some flats so she could be comfortable walking but that were also cute for night time. I figured she could wear a cute cardigan over the dress during the day and then at night take it off and let her jewelry show for a little more glamor at night. What do you guys think? Do you think this outfit would work from day to night for her bachelorette?

Dress: Threadsence $53
Shoes: Nine West
Tights: Urban Outfitters $14
Necklace: Forever 21 $7.80
Earrings: Urban Outfitters $12

ok so, I don’t even know how to start this post to talk about my Valentines Day present from Kev. I am already getting choked up writing this. If you have been reading my blog for awhile you know that I write a lot about Kev and how much I love him. When I started this blog I thought about whether I would share personal things like that, but honestly I don’t know how I couldn’t. It is who I am, it is something I truly believe in. I think the most important thing I want to get across in my blog is not about fashion, or art or food but that Love is something that is worth it. The love in our lives can make such a difference. That includes love in marriage, with family, with friends and love to the people around us. Can you imagine a world were we all really just loved one another. There is so much hate and destruction out there. I just want to share a little love with everyone as mushy and stupid as that sounds.

As I have mentioned before, Me and Kev got engaged and married in a matter of 3 weeks. We got married on a cruise where the only things we picked out were my dress and his tux. We got married in the Viking Lounge on the cruise ship in Key West, FL at 10am in the morning by a crazy JP that came on the boat just to marry us. It was a ceremony that was totally about us- no decorations or planning that distracted us from that. Kev’s sister took some video of that day on her camera that I have not seen since the day of the wedding. It has been on her camera since and the camera has been lost and for many other reason we have just not gotten it off there. So when Kev sat me down to watch his Valentines day video and I saw the video start I totally lost it. I cried (like balling) thru this entire video. I think the thing that means so much is (of course other than him showing me how much he loves me) is this message of spreading love. I leave you to watch the video first and then i will talk more about the project he started of Withoutyouitsjustnot.us.. It’s only 4mins long and I promise you its way more than a few clips of our wedding. I hope you will watch… (if you click on the link you can see it bigger on the vimeo site)

Love of my life from Jen Lula on Vimeo.

isn’t the out take right at the end so cute? I love it!

So now that Kev’s year long secret project is out, it’s our project to work on together. This is where you come in!! We want to keep this idea of spreading love going. If there is someone that you love in your life, we ask that you would visit the site withoutyouitsjustnot.us and print out one of the flyers. Take pictures of yourself holding the flyer in places you live, or a place that has meaning between you and that loved one. Write your loved ones name all over the flyer if you want so they know. Then send us the pictures at withoutyouitsjustnotus@gmail.com. Every so often when we collect enough pictures we will be making videos with the photos and sharing them on jenloveskev as well as withoutyouitsjustnot.us. What a fun way to make this large world seem a little smaller by bring us all together with the idea of Love. Print out tons of posters if you want and place them all around- get the word out and see how far this can go!!!!

Remember Love is Worth it.
