sunny delight

so many of you follow h|h via the daily-ish email and your favorite feed reader that you may not have chanced upon the newest offering from maui's nina kuna designs which i learned about when nina sent along her latest ad (hooray for sponsors!). since website readers already seem to be taken with the hawaii nameplate necklace . . . well, it seemed only fair to let you in on nina's latest sparkle.

i am guessing most of us were introduced to the concept when sarah jessica parker rocked the now iconic carrie nameplate on the early days of sex & the city. there have been so many variations on the design since then, but hardly any island bling trickled down hawaii's way until now. the girly script is certainly a cheeky way for kama'aina to represent the 808 or is simply a playful souvenir to remember your hawaii holiday.

if you covet one to call your own, the nameplate can be ordered in either 14k gold or sterling silver for $52.

and, happy news, nina is also offering 15% off her online shop during the month of july and she will pick up the shipping tab!
