May 19 
speaking of saving a few dollars, one of my favorite places to shop online is sierra trading post. although it's geared towards outdoor enthusiasts, stp is the place to go if you're on the hunt for designer aloha shirts (midcentury tapa print
from kahala shown above) & women's aloha wear at a sweet price.
May 18 you know you're a style junkie if you just. can't. recycle. the oodles of fashion magazines precariously stacked on your coffee table. cross that with bargain hunter syndrome (trekking out to waikele to rifle through the racks at the barney's & saks outlets) and this weekend's fashionista's market summer sample sale is a style maven's dream come true.
register online to be added to the invite-only list and rsvp to gain entry to the designer sale for a reduced cover charge (a portion of the proceeds will benefit the life foundation of hawaii). and don't forget to wear your best unmentionables since changing in the communal dressing room with other fashion savvy strangers is part of the sample sale experience.
May 4 planning to be in honolulu tomorrow night? don't forget to add fighting eel's supersonic summer sample sale to your datebook:
the sale is *cash only* so leave the credit cards at home.
have fun!
