In Hawaii, on the island of Oahu are neighborhoods that make up Honolulu and the little towns on the windward, leeward, mauka (mountain), kai (ocean), and Koko Head or Eva Beach side of the island. Sometimes the street is named after the town or neighborhood, some have libraries that are named after the neighborhood. I spent many an hour at the McCully- Moiliili library having walked all the way down University Avenue . These t-shirts are a tribute to some of my favorite neighborhoods in Hawaii. Kapahulu, Hawaii, on the other side of Leahi with the Queen's rose garden, little houses with outside showers for your surfboards. Petal, seed and nectar t-shirt for Kapahulu Hawaii yours for $19.99. Manoa, Hawaii, wood clapboard houses with dark secret gardens, the hills and small lanes of my personal history. Petal, seed and nectar t-shirt for Manoa, Hawaii yours for $19.99. Waimanalo, Hawaii where Bellows Beach is hidden, the turquoise water and the islands off shore are perfect waves for me and my boogie board.

In my dreams, I still walk down the center of the University of Hawaii campus at Manoa, which is always damp from morning rain and smells of the monkey pod trees that line the walkway.

In Waimanalo is a drive-in with a great plate lunch of kalau pork and laulau, which I would order to eat at the picnic tables that faced the open seas. Petal, seed and nectar Waimanalo, Hawaii yours for $39.99. Inland and far from Hawaii, this summer my clothes evoke our 50th state and its floral loveliness. I wore tropical flowers everywhere, my tops were like diving into a tropical arrangement from a hotel lobby, shoes had floral themes that were like a vacation for my feet. I scored a purse that was traditional because it was woven with flowers that bloom alone in the middle of the Pacific.

Nuuanu-Pali, Hawaii, Peta, Leaf & Nectar backpack yours for $18.95 Nuuanu- Pali on the island of Oahu is where the warriors of that island could not repulse Kamehameha, who would later be the first Hawaiian to conquer all the Hawaiian Islands. He became King and lord over all. Nuuanu- Pali is also a beautiful craggy part of the mountain range that uplifts the center of the island of Oahu. It is also a beautiful watershed area that is beautiful to drive.

Korean Airport FashionWhat would it be liked to be known for one's airport fashion, that was the question on the Polyvore's contest. I was thinking less of what I would wear and more what I would eat and who would be my seatmate. Packing suggestion to Hawaii made by my dog, Rose WhiteIn 2013, I remember thinking this is the year for orange and coral. I bought this purse for my sister to use as a beach bag for her Hawaii trip. I liked it so well, I bought another one for myself. That summer, my bags of choice were made of cotton. I also liked pairing orange with pink. Maybe because I grew up in a house that was pink and orange. This is my packing strategy for going to Hawaii, things that people do not think to bring, but should. Hawaii has a variety of beaches, which require different strategies. The little bags have gone kayaking up the stream in Haliewa town and wrapped around my waist walking around the Polynesian Culture Center on crutches. Top right: Red first aid kit; dried ginger to combat air sickness/ car sickness (going up mountain roads like road to Hana on Maui; lip balm held in a Hawaiian print pendant; aloe to take care of sunburns; an olive water repellant shoulder bag to take when exploring waterfalls; and a lime waterproof canister to take into the water with your keys. One time my mom and I were walking in downtown Honolulu and she declared that she had a headache while we were on the crosswalk. By the time we reached the other side of the street to the lei shop, I had pulled out an aspirin and water. She was impressed. My motto: Be Prepared.
Next to Rose White: Tropical print bag in lightweight cotton; reef walker shoes to use while snorkeling off Haunama Bay; coconut butter to slather on before going on at night; mini first-aid kit with bandaids to take care of blisters while you shop along Waikiki; lava lava cover-up to throw around your waist or tie around your neck when you leave your place in the sand to buy something cool from the shaved ice truck. I have always tried to dress and appear the best I can while in Hawaii. Reason: I seem to run into men who were my admirers when I was single. Not just for a Hawaiian vacation, but anywhere you think there will be fruit stands, or you foreseeing picnicking: plastic chopping board to cut passion fruit (which you rarely see sold in the stores); a sharp knife for cutting fruit that you have never seen before or learn the name ( it happens); collapsable bowls and cups when mixing lemon and salt to freshly caught fish from the fishermen, eaten raw; paper plates, tableware and napkins, for sharing guava cake from Leonard's Bakery with people you've just met; and plastic bags to tote snacks to the beach and give away to others. The thing that I buy and then never bring back are boogie boards. I had two boogie boards when I was in school. They were gifts from my suitors, who knew how crazy I was for boogie boarding at Bellows beach. One told me he found it inside his locked car. ( The things guys will say, to not make you feel obliged to them.) Now when I go to Hawaii, I buy a boogie board and on the last day, find a kid who needs one and give it away. My Favorite Take Flight Design Workshop Polyvore Designer: crazygirl1104This little angel on Polyvore, a new inductee, spreading her creative wings, has taken my designs and created sets that are pure sweetness and youth. She has correctly identified the flower on my hoodie and created a set that is full of ease and familiar favorites, the chucks and the Jansport backpack, the jeans that are already well-worn. But then she infuses her outfit with Schiaparelli pink and rubber bracelets, and her plant is graphic and brightens up the set with green. Then she puts in a prominent place, what I think is her way of looking at life, with love that is spontaneous and without reason, a love that pours freely towards those that catch her eye: the love from a girl whose heart wants to touch others with its gently touch.
Thank-you crazy girl, you have provided my clothes with lovely sets to live in with your special skill. Comfy Hibiscus and Tank Top Parka will be gifts from you I will always treasure. I bless you all your life. I give you my aloha.
