Honolulu SHOPS Spring '13 issue is out! Once again I contributed to the Runway Remix segments, but what's exciting this time around is that I got to feature shops and boutiques outside of Waikiki as well. So this means that I'll be taking you shopping from Chinatown, Downtown, and throughout Waikiki too. 

I think that these two trend pages are probably one of my favorites out of all the features I've done in the past. For the first time since I've started working with SHOPS magazine I got to select the trends I felt would dominate our shopper's interest. Anyway, please take a close look through the clothes and accessories featured because there are a couple new stores around town that you may not have known about!

Modern Basics || Nothing feels more comfortable for me to wear than something a little black and white. It's even better when I was able to find something that looked new/fresh without being too overdone by trends; Case and point 3.1 Phillip Lim's Combo shirt. I blogged about it HERE a month ago, but didn't find time to wear it till now. Pairs perfectly with skinny jeans to juxtapose the longer/boxier proportion and cuban heels for that added Beatles-esque flare!

Met with superb photographer, Jeremy Snell to go through a bunch of images he took on Monday's photoshoot. I'm so pleased with the way everything's coming together and I'll be able to reveal all of that soon. Also, I've been preparing/shooting things for Honolulu Magazine and Honolulu SHOPS Waikiki which should be coming out in the following months + I've yet to reveal the fashion show that I'll be styling in November. 

Wait and see! But till then, have fun looking at my beautifulness.

3. Android Homme 'Propulsion 2.5'
1. Soireean evening party or gathering, typically in a private house, for conversation or music AKA it's time to break it down in these killer heels! Now, I know many of you LOVE Jeffrey Campbell shoes for the crazy styles and affordable prices...but I think the 'Soiree' is my absolute fave to hit Hawaii. Currently, it's sold out EVERYWHERE online but thankfully Collins&8th just received these sexy divas this month. It's the perfect kickstart into Fall and with an lucite heel + backzip detailing, you're sure to get noticed for all the right reasons.

2 and 3: This one is for the boys;Introducing Android Homme to Hawaii! The label is inspired by exploring the unknown and the ability to transform yourself through footwear. Mixing suede with leather uppers, this shoe has been worn by Usher, Justin Bieber, Jay-Z, and many other forward thinking sneaker enthusiasts. The details in person are pretty insane...so go ahead and treat yourself to a pair guys!

My beloved friend and established owner of Collins&8th, Maida Montemayor, is just about to jetset from Vegas to Japan for a super special pop-up shop in Daikanyama! While she's away, I'll be taking over the space...Tabatha Coffey style! Since I'll be around, I wanted to show you all some of my favorite new shoes/accessories that have hit Collins&8th over the course of the last month. These here are my must-have items for a day of glamour and comfort.
