I'm back with another Maya's World episode.
And this time I have highlights from the past two weeks,
which have been super intense.
I've been doing a lot of vlogging on my Snapchat,
so make sure you guys tune-in and check me out there.
Look what my mommy made? Macramé.
She made that one, she made this one,
she made that one, I got it from my mother.
First up on the agenda
was having my mom visit me from Toronto, Canada.
This was her first time in Los Angeles to visit me,
and we had a lot of fun.
[laughter]
MAYA: You laughing at me?
MOM: No, you can't pick the words you say
and the expression.
MAYA: So for her birthday,
which was a belated birthday present,
I took her to Hawaii.
She enjoyed my Marriott video in Maui.
So this time we went to Kauai.
We just arrived to Kauai, and we're wearing leis.
MOM: Yeah, hi, this is edible leis.
[chuckles] What? We eat this.
MAYA: You don't know if you can eat this.
♪ ♪
This time the good people over at Marriot Resort Kauai
hooked me up.
Aloha Maya, oh thanks Sally.
Oh, sookie, sookie now.
♪ ♪
Straight back mom, straighten your back.
We spent a lot of time on the property
because it was so beautiful.
There was singing and dancing,
and my mom was shaking her moneymaker.
♪ ♪
And then of course for some activities.
For me, paddle boarding.
Paddle boarding and with my GoPro to capture these moments.
So this was all on the Marriott property,
and the beach here was gorgeous.
♪ ♪
The waves were perfect for boogie boarding,
not good at all for surfing, but that's OK.
♪ ♪
The waves were too intense for my mom
because she had eye surgery,
so we spent a lot of time in the pool.
♪ ♪
MOM: Bamos. MAYA: Bamos.
MOM: Kind of fish.
MAYA: Bamos is a kind of fish?
MOM: Yeah.
OK, road trip, we're going to go to Princeville, yay.
Then we ventured off of the property.
We did some road trippin' to the north side,
and it was so beautiful.
You can travel the island in a horseshoe,
and from top to bottom it takes less than two hours.
[strumming ukulele]
Which one is louder Maya?
[strumming ukulele]
MAYA: They sound the same.
WOMEN: So if you buy one it comes with that for free.
MOM: Ah.
WOMEN: Otherwise we sell them for $395.
MAYA: My mom is an artist at heart,
she plays many instruments
including the guitar, so she wanted to get herself a ukulele.
OK, well she bought a ukulele, I bought nada.
No I did, I did buy something, I'm lying,
I bought, I bought this GoPro phone thing.
So when I go boogie boarding
or paddle boarding it will float if I drop it,
and it's easy to spot. I'm such a geek. [laughs]
And we went to the North Shore,
so this is in Princeville, and the waves here are so harsh.
This is where you want to go for surfing,
but if you don't know how to swim stay away from here
because even on the shore those waves would drag you in.
MAYA: Look at us, I get it from my mom.
I don't eat fish that much, but when I do, I do. [laughs]
OK, so we pulled over
because we saw the Koloa Fruit Stand, it's open.
♪ ♪
Look where we are.
And that's the church we're going to.
We are here at St. Raphael's First Catholic Church.
We checked out some waterfalls, beautiful.
My mom was napping away, because I get it from my mama.
Don't go chasing waterfalls,
please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you used to.
What?
And I was craving halo-halo,
which is this dessert, so we found a spot.
Then I took my mom on a little cruise
on the Fern Grotto.
It was super touristy, very touristy.
And we were attacked by mosquitos,
so I don't have much footage.
I literally got bit 12 times on my feet.
Music and dance is so ingrained in the culture.
[♪ local Hawaiian music ♪]
So I had to say goodbye to the beautiful Marriott Kauai.
Thank you guys so much for such an awesome time.
Now back to the hustle, for Fashion Week.
We're going to New York, are you excited?
I'm so excited.
MAYA: I'm excited, this is my first time going
not living in New York, what?
This will be like my first touristy experience.
MAYA: Say hi, Tiffany.
Hi, Tiffany. [laughs]
Make sure you guys read the description box,
I was working for Rachel Zoe,
the legendary Rachel Zoe for New York Fashion Week,
making reports on the street style in New York.
Super-fun, and while I was out there
I decided to shoot my Fall Look Book.
OK, so this is the hotel room,
I just arrived here in New York.
This is the bathroom. It's pretty, it's pretty.
The bathroom I feel like larger than the bedroom.
Hot mess! No bottoms, I feel like throwing up.
The driver was driving so [making herky-jerky noises]
[makes throwing up noise].
Look who has arrived?
JEIGH: Don't shoot me eating!! I don't eat! I don't eat!
MAYA: Jeigh's helping put these looks together.
JEIGH: Lunch. MAYA: Lunch.
Some last minute pieces.
And then we're going to pack it and then we're going to go,
and I'm just texting Hey Fran Hey.
JEIGH: Oh my god.
MAYA: Oh shit! I have physical therapy.
[laughing]
MAYA: It matches with my outfit.
JEIGH: That's what I'm saying, I know [inaudible].
So --
JEIGH: Yo, yo, yo, what's going on? What's real yo?
I told her she'd be recognized as soon as she got here.
Hi guys, we're just in the cab,
headed to the Lower East Side to film this plaid look back,
this is grunge, can't you tell?
I wouldn't say grunge really.
JEIGH: It's like rocker chick grungey.
MAYA: Rebel. She's a rebel.
JEIGH: With a little bit of hip-hop Salt-N-Pepa realness.
Back in New York City, how do you feel?
I miss New York.
I'll move back once I'm like a ka-billionaire.
[laughing] It's so cute.
JEIGH: Only and only then.
MAYA: Only when I'm a ka-billionaire.
JEIGH: If and only when, ka-billionaire.
MAYA: Comment below and let me know
which country you guys want me to check out.
I definitely need to get out of this bubble.
So comment below and let me know so I can see you beautiful boos.
JEIGH: What are you doing?
Just putting on some black liner.
JEIGH: We're just on location, shooting by some graffiti.
Yeah, we're in the Lower East Side, yo.
Shooting.

MAYA: And my Look Book is sponsored by Target,
you have no idea how obsessed I am with Target.
And I got to work with Premiere Cru,
I've collaborated with them a few times now.
We did a Halloween video and a previous Fall Look Book.
All the videos in the description box.
But this one is fun.
The challenge was to create looks using plaid,
so stay tuned for that.
I am serving you looks.
JEIGH: Catch all the raindrops. [laughing]
I came into the room and this was waiting here.
This is the first time I've been treated so fancy
by another woman. [laughing] Rachel Zoe.
JEIGH: You got a present. MAYA: Look, look what she got?
JEIGH: You even have more stuff in here.
It's all wrapped in black.
MAYA: Oh this is for reporting.
JEIGH: OK, cute.
MAYA: Look at this hat.
JEIGH: Fall into chic.
MAYA: No it's not like that.
JEIGH: No, either way.
And then she also got me this,
I mean it's -- oh it's Rachel Zoe's line.
This is a cute hat!
JEIGH: Yeah, she knows.
Rachel! I mean I have fun playing dress-up with Cousin Jeigh,
but I have fun playing dress-up with Rachel Zoe.
She has everything! They have everything in their studio!
That's cute.

Fashion Week was so much fun,
I bumped into so many familiar faces,

It was literally two days you guys.
I quickly bumped into the Kwan sisters.
And lots of interviews that we've cut together for you,
and a Look Book.
