Special Delivery
 Dear mainland retail stores,
Over the years, we've come to realize our relationship has been more give than take.
We're tired of planning entire vacations around you; flying thousands of miles and spending an extra $50 to lug back suitcases stuffed with your covetable goodies.
It's about time Hawaii shoppers got some love. And, thanks to LeSportsac, that time is now.
Meet "Moana Ahe," a line of hobos, weekender and crossbody bags featuring an exotic print designed by Leeward Oahu...

Yogi Wear
 There are a select handful of people in this world who can look amazing while doing pretty much anything. Grocery shopping. Exercising. Crying.

Lucky for you, we can help. That's because we found this...

A Bright Idea
Today is shaping up to be a gorgeous day. But lately, the weather has been, well, not so summery.
Overcast skies. Frequent showers. A general case of the blahs.
We won't point fingers, but if Emilia and Fabio have any say, more dreariness may be on the way.
If only there was some other way to brighten your day. Or at least your face...
Oh hey, there is. Behold: six colorful, eye-catching beauty products that will help you light up a room.

Sponsored Edition: Too Cool for School
Getting your keiki ready to go back to school is a lot like a team challenge on a fashion reality show. You start with a whirlwind shopping trip, spend hours squabbling over key looks (there may even be a tear or two), then come show time, you send them out and hope for the best.
The main difference? You don't need a tall German supermodel or silver-haired adviser to tell you what's in or out; you've got Pearlridge Center and its five must-haves for a stylish start to the school year. Even better, shop at the Center this weekend and Read more »

Draw Something
 Going back to work after two days of freedom can be a downer. Fortunately, there are ways to cheer yourself up.

What: Social media mavens will "like" this. YSL's newest limited-edition eyeshadow palette is inspired by none other than Facebook, complete with packaging that mimics the website's signature blue hue. "Pure Chromatics Devoted to Fans" will be available exclusively on YSL's Facebook page for $55, but click quickly - only 1,650 of these palettes were reportedly produced.

Salute Your Shorts
 Be afraid. Be very afraid. A number of horrible things could happen today.
You could lose your wallet. Fall off a ladder. Get chased by a guy in a hockey mask.
Watch your boyfriend wear his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles T-shirt and polyester basketball shorts out in public.
On second thought, you'll take the guy in the hockey mask...
Good news. Your luck is about to turn, thanks to Ryan Ota's new men's shorts, available this weekend at Makkuro Makkuro's first-ever pop-up shop.
