I’m trying my best to walk around like a Grecian goddess around the LOST Asian Temple at The Valley of the Temples here in Oahu… but the best I can come off is matching the orange and rust pillars of the temple’s outlying buildings. It’s my Hawaii Street Style… touring temples, epic views from mountainside overlooks, and hipster diners in Honolulu’s Chinatown.
{ Architecture of an Outfit } Orange Drape Maxi Dress and LOST Asian Temple
Aloha kakou! Howzit? ~ Hello and whatup, guys?
Being the nerds that we are, when Husby’s mum came to visit us here in Oahu, we jumped at the opportunity to tour the Valley of the Temples Memorial Park right in our old ‘hood, north Kane‘ohe. LOST fans and buffs might recognize the place as the palace where Jin proposed to Sun in “House of the Rising Sun” (S1.06).
Of course I turned the trip into an outfit shoot. Why not? Epic scenery makes a simple ensemble that much better. You don’t have to do much at all.
OUTFIT ARCHITECTURE / DETAILS
DRESS: orange drape midi dress, Piperlime
SHOES: studded gladiator sandal, Steve Madden via DSW
BELT: snakeskin skinny belt, Gifted BR
BAG: cognac leather satchel, Audrey Brook via DSW
WHERE / ALTERNATIVES
DRESS: asymmetric drape stretch jersey maxi dress, Net-a-porter; orange drape back maxi dress, Kenneth Cole.

BELT: Snakeskin skinny belt, Farfetch; faux snake skin skinny belt.
BAG: Tan leather cross body satchel, The Leather Satchel Co.; Asher Tumble Satchel, Ralph Lauren; Mulberry Alexa Satchel, tan.
And we just ran around the rest of the place, freezing in the whipping winds atop a mountain, overlooking the Windward Side of Oahu and eating super fattening (read: ONOLICIOUS ~ DELECTABLE) diner food at a hipster magnet eatery in Honolulu’s Chinatown. What you, my friends, would call a bad-ass day. Wouldn’t you say so?
Me ke aloha ~ With love, Xx
Mae

ORANGE!
When I was at this temple, my first thought was…
“Ninjas. There’s gotta be ninjas.”
Hi Mae!
Bright orange suits you so well.
I’ve never been to Valley of the Temples, despite living here for most of my life — it’s gorgeous. Must go check it out sometime.
The scenery looks AMAZING!
And your outfit isn’t so bad either

I love Downbeat! The unhealthiest-vegan-monte-cristo! Yum.
Your images in this post are amazing.
I love it, too! I think the Monte Cristo but with vegetarian options instead of vegan… ugh, da bes!
