After…read morevisiting the Punahou and Kailua store throughout the year, I finally found two tops that I immediately fell in love with. The staff were friendly and helpful and the store was clean. Seemed like they had several sizes available in all their merchandise which is great. Their dressing rooms are spaced nicely and they have several. They have ample parking spaces out in front of the store.

Otherwise this place is expensive but quality of items are top notch. I always say to splurge on good quality versus spend more on cheaper things to only have to replace them more often. I will say the last time I came into the store, it was quite annoying that a dog was barking quite a bit and then a comment from another customer or friend of the owner not sure. But I definitely ignored the rude remark. I just wanted to do my shopping in peace.

The shopkeeper was so kind and welcoming, and even if you're not in the mood to splurge, it's worth browsing because everything is so beautifully displayed. The prices are definitely steep, but the quality is definitely there. Great for gifts, a little treat-yourself moment, or just inspiration.

Shopping in Kailua, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. Strolling along the sidewalk, I passed by Aloha Kira and did a double take. I saw Miffy on the top shelf of this store. I had to go in and ask... "Is this store related to the one in Waikiki?" Yes! This is the sister store of Kira x Miffy at the Royal Hawaiian Center! Of course, we had to look at all of the Miffy merchandise... fanny packs, hair clips, stickers, caps, plushies, etc. Other items featured Hello Kitty, Kuromi, My Melody, Snoopy, and more! There were pet gifts and a children's corner! The decor was cute and bright! Service was cheerful and attentive! We'll be back because this shop is more convenient than Waikiki! Plus... there's free parking behind the building!

I love this little boutique shop but who really loves this spot is my dog- they even have a little…read morepolaroid photo of Lando up in the shop. Everytime we go in, they are sure to give Lando so much love and treats. When I try on clothes, the girls here even offer to hold Lando when I'm in the dressing room. Lando will pull me to Aloha Kira everytime we're in the area- he loves the cute dog sections with dog toys and bandanas. The curation of all the stuff here is immaculate - exactly my style! My biggest weakness is baggu bags- and they always have all the newest styles and colors. I will always check Aloha Kira before buying it online and avoid the shipping costs and wait. The selection here rotates so they always have the newest trends- from dresses, matching sets, and I love getting sunglasses from here. If you're looking for a gift for the "it girl" in your life, Aloha Kira is the shop to check out! It's a good price range, especially for gifts!

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.

They have several flavors to choose from, Tiger's Blood to Ube, sweet yam. They offer the option to add any flavor of ice cream to be an added base to your shaved ice cup or bowl. Affordable shaved ice, that wasn't over 10 bucks. I got the minimum choice of 3 flavors at the least but you can add as many flavors as you desire. I chose Sour Apple, Strawberry, and Ube. The sweet and sour combo of my shaved ice had me feeling like I was enjoying sour patch kids candy. I enjoyed my experience at Island Snow amd can't wait to visit again.
