The sun sets every night in Hawaii, but it isn’t always visible. Some of the nights we spent in Hawaii offered us a cloud cover instead of a sunset. The missed sunsets were a moot point after viewing the one incredible sunset we experienced at Sam Choy’s just south of Kona.

We stumped upon this restaurant on our way back to our hotel after visiting Volcanoes National Park. We took the highway along the coast to travel the two hours back to our hotel, and along the way we passed huge flowers, macadamia farms, and no restaurants in sight! Haha

It was like an oasis appeared when we saw a large golf course and condo complex. Just beyond it we could see what appeared to be a small shopping center. We turned into the center and the first building we saw was Sam Choy’s! I could tell by the way it was perched upon the hill, the views would be incredible. I didn’t care what type of menu they might have, that was where we would eat; executive decision made!

No-one complained as parked and walked into the restaurant. It had a 230 degree view of the ocean; perfect for viewing a Hawaiian sunset. The hostess was really nice, and gave us a table with a view for dinner. We ordered our meals and ate slowly, so as not to finish before sunset. We needed to waste a little over an hour!

We got lucky! The food was delicious, and after our meals, we ordered dessert. The desserts were equally divine, and kept us dining until sunset. The views of the sunset were unreal.

If you are planning a trip to the Big Island, be sure to pop into Sam Choy’s for dinner one night in order to enjoy the incredible sunset from your dinner table. It was heaven on Earth!

The rest of the trip we enjoyed clouds hiding the sunsets. We were so thankful for this beautiful view of the sunset over dinner at Sam Choy’s. It was the only sunset we needed to see.

Thanks for stopping by!

Stripe jumpsuit for summer 2019

wearing: pearl earrings (purchased in Hawaii-similar online here) / bold silver necklace c/o Chico’s / stripe jumpsuit (sold out, also love this one) / sunglasses / summer lipstick / multi-strand bracelet c/o Victoria Emerson / summer nail polish / woven handbag c/o Chico’s / ivory wedge espadrilles /

One of the biggest trends this summer is the jumpsuit. While this style has been trending for a few years now, it really has exploded for summer 2019. So, when I was planning my outfits for my Hawaiian vacation this summer, I knew I needed at least one jumpsuit in my suitcase.

I was thrilled to find this stripe jumpsuit. It has enough color to work on an island adventure, yet offers dark enough colors that I can urbanize it for back home. Love versatility!

For Hawaii, I paired my jumpsuit with my comfy espadrille wedges, and this fun bag which has tons of island vibes. It was really comfortable, and looked put together for a beachfront dinner. When we arrived at the dinner location we had reservations at, we learned they only had a buffet option for dinner, and it wasn’t going to work for the kids. Why couldn’t we just order off the regular menu?? Ugh, so we cancelled our reservation and walked one block to a cute little sushi place tucked behind another building.

Seiji’s Sushi was so good! They only had three tables, a few bar stools, and a really small menu, but it was ok. The chef made chicken katsu special for my son, and they were very attentive. The food was delicious, and we are so thankful we found Seiji’s Sushi! If you visit Kona, be sure to pop in for some sushi! You will love it!

My jumpsuit is sold out, but they have plenty of other cute jumpsuits in stock. I put my favorites in the shopping widget below.

I am looking forward to re-styling this jumpsuit back home. It will look chic during the day with a black Givenchy Antigona and black sandals, as well as a small Chanel shoulder bag and heels for evening occasions. Love versatility!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more posts from our island adventure!

Aloha!
