Hot trend I love: Vintage Hawaiian prints

Though I'm usually the laziest person in the world, I've developed a new fixation with the iced lattes from Gorilla Coffee, which is about 20 blocks from my apartment. Last Sunday at 8AM, I begged my husband to walk to G.C. with me, but once we were there waiting in the enormous line, I totally ignored him. Finally he said, "If you don't stop staring at that woman's outfit, I'm going over there and tell her that you love her dress and you're going to write about her on your blog." "Nooo!" ANYWAY, the dress was amazing, with a fun, not-too-busy retro-Hawaiian print (similar to styles like this, this, or this). She'd paired it with medium-thin red belt, soft-looking flat black leather sandals, messy-pretty hair parted in the middle, gold hoop earrings, and a happy little shade of red lipstick. OK, sure, I checked her out for a really long time.
