Shoes-Day!

It may not be Spring yet, but my feet still wish they were in Kauai, so here’s  a bevy of photos from last week highlighting a wedge gladiator sandal.

Sandals at Kauai Coffee Plantation

Turquoise sundress from Alloy.com.  Sandals by Kenneth Cole via Marshalls last summer for about $25.

The above pics were taken on February 28, which truly turned into a day filled with a hodgepodge of activities due to somewhat cooler weather that threatened our ‘secret beach’ day.  We started at the Kauai Coffee Plantation on the south side of the island.  Perched on the beach were lush greens, and rows of coffee bean bushes (?).  We mainly went to taste all the varieties of free coffee (probably over 30!).

Per Ilya’s (and the bestie’s) insistence we had to go to Poipu for Puka-Dogs:

NOM

Happy hotdoggers

Puka-dog FAIL

I must admit Puka-dog really has a good thing going!  AND they cater to vegetarians.  Boooyah!  I got the veggie dog with spicy garlic sauce, pineapple salsa, and Hawaiian mustard and I can honestly say it was nothing like I’ve ever had!  And in a good way :D  They actually cut a hole in the bun and insert the hotdog and the sauce — a true 360 degree eating experience.    Andrea and Ilya got the Polish sausage with jalapeno garlic sauce, mango salsa, and Hawaiian mustard and they were in love (with the hotdogs…and each other..haha).

So despite the oozey mess I made and subsequent stained dress, I’d highly recommend trying this Kauai original out ;)

And because it’s Shoes-Day, here’s another shot of the shoes:

Do you prefer a little wedge on a gladiator sandal?  Any that you’re coveting?  Send me a link!

Have you tried Puka-dog?  Or have you been somewhere that has a tasty novel food idea like this?

PS.  Did you watch The Bachelor last night?  Dare I say I felt bad for Michelle!
