Shopping in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. There are three locations for Angels By The Sea: 1. On Kalakaua Avenue, between International Marketplace and Crocs, 2. In the Princess Kaiulani Hotel 3. In the Sheraton Waikiki Resort This location is in the Sheraton Waikiki Resort which doesn't validate parking. The first 20 minutes are $2.50. I had a gift card from an Instagram contest, sponsored by the Waikiki Shopping Plaza. I went to the Kalakaua Avenue location on a holiday and got free street parking about 4 blocks away. They said that there was no value on the card. The office was closed because it's a holiday. I messaged Waikiki Shopping Plaza, and they eventually contacted Tiffany at the Sheraton Waikiki Resort location. I went right away, but it was her day off. Luckily, Kimiko knew the situation and helped me with genuine sincerity. She saw that I was interested in the pineapple earrings and helped me gather them together to compare. She pointed out the most popular designs. Then, we looked through the turtle earrings... post, dangling, bling-bling, and different sizes! She was very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly! If I had more time, I'd look through other merchandise (tote bags, pouches, clothing, etc), but Kimiko knew she couldn't validate my parking. She told me that there's 10% off on clothing for Kama'aina with State ID. Next time I have a function at this resort, I'll take a look again!

This particular store is located in the Sheraton Waikiki…read more Angels by the Sea has a great selection of Hawaiian and tropical themed resort wear for men, women, and children. They carry a wide range of sizes in this store so you'll definitely find something that fits you. The prints are more elegant, muted, and aren't as in your face bold as your typical Hawaiian shirt. The employees here are eager to help and are super friendly. It's a great place to buy matching outfits for the whole family. Great experience overall!

Ginger13 is a must stop shop if you're in Honolulu! Cindy's curated her shop in such a way that you…read morefeel instantly welcomed, curious and at home. Over the years I've enjoyed the variety of plants she has available with earthy ceramic pots, natural fragrance items, home decor, crystals and handmade jewelry. Every time I wear earrings she's made I get the best compliments. Each set is one of a kind and unique. The Ginger13 oasis is located in Marks Garage on Pauahi Street. I recommend parking in the open lot off Nuuanu and Beretania or the underground municipal parking lot just past Nuuanu on Beretania. It's safe and close to the variety of local shops in the area.

A graphic circulating on Instagram this holiday season really stuck with me. It highlighted how…read morepowerful shopping small can be. If each person spent $ at a small business instead of a big online retailer, imagine how much money would be reinvested into our local economy. I took that message to heart. I've been frequenting Ginger13 for years, and supporting Cindy is always a joy. She creates truly one of a kind pieces, and her aloha spirit shines through in everything she does. You don't just shop here. You feel welcomed and inspired. I spent nearly two hours in the store just days before Christmas, and narrowing down my choices was nearly impossible. Every corner is filled with beautiful, thoughtfully curated items, all at incredibly reasonable prices. On top of that, Cindy offers exceptional customer service. If anything ever happens to your unique piece, you are in the best hands. Make a day of it and stop by Mille Fête as well to support another amazing local woman entrepreneur who is absolutely crushing it. Treat yourself to stunning home goods and jewelry at Ginger13, then reward yourself with something sweet from this phenomenal bakery. Thank you, Cindy and Mindy. Wishing you a prosperous and abundant Year of the Tiger.

New shop in Chinatown, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. While walking back to my car on Maunakea Street, I passed by this store that didn't look familiar. I thought I'd take a quick look... There are two rooms of merchandise at Vina Market - plus, there are more items on the sidewalk (like red paper lucky money envelopes and charms). I was really drawn to the bunny apron, bunny lanyard, and the bunny purse. I looked at the clothing, but I didn't have time to try anything on... I'll return! The pillows in the second room are cute! Check them out! Vina is a really sweet shop owner. The prices are low at the moment because she wants new customers... So, go visit now! Note: Metered street parking is free on Sundays and holidays. Municipal parking lots are nearby. Park on King Street for free!

Sweet like guava…read more.. Though no guava is found here like the fruit some of the items are found here in Hawai'i as this Hale'iwa Store Lots shop is filled with various cute items for women it's a great place to find items to gift or to add to your wants. Browsing around I enjoyed the various items the carry from beachwear and accessories to jewelry and various totes and even a fun puzzle postcard sharing the aloha spirit is very fun and unique here along with shirts with the local fun sayings had me smiling with a fun way to express your vibe for the day. The service here seems very friendly as she was very into the conversation with a guest that went on and on is great as I was busy browsing some of the items was quite pricey though do carry some unique items but it was a nice and comfortable place to shop. Thank you!

Shopping at Ala Moana Center in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. There were no reviews for this store which had moved to the MALL LEVEL and is now a KIOSK. I submitted an address change edit to Yelp because I wouldn't want anyone else searching the third level for Kawaii Kawaii like I did. I finally asked the concierge on the Mall Level where Kawaii Kawaii is because it's not even on the Directory! The kiosk is between Tesla and Victoria's Secret, so, it's open air. If it rains... Good luck! The one good thing about this Ala Moana Center location is the free parking. That's it. Kawaii Kawaii only has necklaces, rings, bracelets, and earrings. There aren't any plushies, purses, key chains, nor hair accessories. You'll have to go to the Waikiki location for those cute things! The lady at the kiosk wasn't really friendly. I asked when this store became a kiosk. She said, "Last year". Okay... I felt like she was hovering over me with no attempt at conversation. Awkward! I'll stick with the Waikiki location even though parking is challenging!

I had a mission while I was in Chinatown, which was to buy a jade bangle. I had two places in mind…read morewhich were DDJ and Bin Ching Jade Center. I stopped by DDJ first and was greeted by the friendly lady (who I will just call auntie since I never got her name), but left to check out Bin Ching. After not seeing anything I wanted, I went back to DDJ. I checked out some bangles and auntie helped me figure out my size and try some on. After trying it on, I wasn't really into the bangle look anymore but auntie suggested a pendant instead. I got to try it on and fell in love immediately. We got to talking about our lives and getting to know each other as we were processing the purchase. She's very thoughtful and insightful, maybe comes on a little strong but I appreciated our conversation and the overall experience I had at DDJ!

Came on a Monday around lunch time, not to crowded and was greeted by the sweetest lady, Sue. She helped me and the wifey pick jade for us. She was so helpful and so funny. Thank you Auntie Sue! They have so much variety where it meant a lot to have someone really know what they are talking about. If you you need a place to find jade this is it! Definitely recommend if you are in Oahu!

Shopping in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I saw Irene M.'s review for Cute Hawaii Gifts and I recognized that store. It used to be called Jenny's. I had purchased Chinese outfits for my nieces a long time ago! Because today was a holiday, metered street parking was free! I found a spot at the beginning of Maunakea Street and walked to Cute Hawaii Gifts. It's on the right side of Maunakea Street, right before the entrance to Maunakea Marketplace. I found Jenny there! I asked her what happened to the name of the store. She said her daughter took over and changed the name... so that Jenny could retire. Wow! Anyway, I wanted new clothes for Chinese New Year (next week Wednesday). I looked through the racks of clothing (there's no purple) and found a shirt that I'll feel comfortable wearing (with stretchy pants)! Jenny's was very helpful in choosing a size and talking about color choices... because Chinese are kind of superstitious... LOL! Anyway, I'm really happy that Jenny is still there and is doing well! Good luck to Jenny's daughter! P.S. I'll be back to take more photos. I was really concentrating on getting a new outfit! Haha! They also have tote bags, jewelry, hats, Year of the Snake t-shirts, children's clothing, dresses, and more!

Myself included aren't quite the type that wants to walk around in the scorching heat so finding this option though a very small and tiny shop is nice as the prices are decent along with the variety they carry. The shop owners are nice and friendly as I browsed around though didn't quite see what I was looking for. Thank you!

Do you dream of having a vacation cottage with a beachy Hawaiian theme with a touch vintage…read moreflare...well Muse Kailua has that in the tiniest shop in Kailua. As a shell lover there was so much here that I loved that I've never seen anywhere else. Everything from clothing to jewelry, accessories, cards, trinkets and the cutest decor. I fell in love with a whale plate but went with a cup which can double as a bowl that I plan to use as a gift for a whale lover...gosh it's so cute!!! I absolutely love finding this somewhat hidden gem that's filled with so much selective treasures with the loveliest staff so patient and kind to compliment every choice you make. Support local, support small and follow them on Instagram @muse_kailua and their online shop https://www.musekailua.com and see the calm this Kailua boutique has to offer. Thank you!

I have many dream homes. My first dream home is a 3-story haunted Victorian Mansion with a large…read morewrap-around porch and wrought-iron fence outside. It would also have a large forest in the back with a small babbling stream running through it. The atmosphere would be a dark, dreary, foggy and rainy place. If you think I'm kidding, I am not. My second dream home would be another 3-story non-haunted Victorian Mansion with an airy porch with flowers all over the place, and the interior would be decorated with stuff from this store: Muse Kailua. I know non-haunted Victorian Mansions do not appear very oceany but who cares! I love the stuff in here and you could probably incorporate a lot of their stuff with your current decor. My current decor is shabby messiness with a hodge-podge of clutter, mess, papers strewn about, Halloween decorations out all-year-long, paper receipts piling up in boxes, dried hibiscus seed pods cluttering up the counter and a pile of (fake) skeletons on the living room floor. No, again I am not kidding. Aside from this foolish decor in my house, the stuff in here is the stuff I dream about: a clean, uncluttered home, airy windows with white billowy curtains, home smelling like fresh lemons and decor from Muse Kaiula: seashells, floral plates, tropical oceany goodness, whimsical lovely items and dream-like girlyness. If you are into Victorian, girliness, girly girl, mermaids, ocean, tropical, and ooh-la-la this is your place, and you're in luck if you're on the mainland because now they have their online store open!! Return factor: OF COURSE are you kidding??? Coz I'm not.
