Hana on Maui: Relaxation Central

Hana's vacation to Maui has been all about relaxation!

She's been doing a lot of this:

{mucho reading}

And we've been getting lots of great food.  Hana said that the food might be the highlight of the entire trip!

{getting lunch at Hula Grill at the Barefoot Bar--Hana almost walked away without her sandals!}

And there's been some shopping.  Since she has picked up some gifts for family and friends, we'll only post photos of some purchases she made for herself:

{super cute dresses from Roxy!}

It was so much fun playing personal shopper to Hana!  We had a great afternoon shopping and dining at Whaler's Village yesterday before I moseyed into work.

I experienced a few more car troubles this morning (woke up to a flat tire!)--but that's for another blog post.  Bryan, Hana and I are out the door for mega cheeseburgers and milkshakes at Cool Cat Cafe before hitting the movies!

New Bling

A friend of a friend makes gorgeous seashell jewelry, and I finally snagged a few pieces for myself as well as for gifts.

I'm sporting just two of the bangles that I purchased from Natasha.  The one on the left has three small shells on a silver bangle with a wave detail.

Natasha does some serious beach combing to find all the shells she uses in her jewelry.  All the shells are from Maui beaches.  It's fun to be supporting a local artist friend, and it's even better to be wearing Maui shells on Maui.  Love it!

You can see more or buy! on Natasha's Etsy website.

Love it!

I love a clever dressing room. Maui Thing boutique in Wailuku helps the shopper decide what to keep and what to put back with labeled hooks in the fitting room.

The Joys of Shopping

Bryan had to run a few errands on the other side, so I drove him to the DMV and I headed to the mall--where I encountered a Farmer's Market.

After knocking around in a few store and not finding anything, I got lunch at Ramen-Ya.  I didn't realize that my lunch was going to be so enormous:

The dumplings were accompanied with rice and a huge bowl of egg drop soup.  I carried around leftovers for the rest of the afternoon.

After lunch and some listless wandering around, I met Bryan and we headed to Ross--where we saw this car in the parking lot:

I wonder if they got the vanity plates before or after the new Avengers movie.

Inside the store I picked up these super sweet and super high Carlos Santana heels.  I carried them around the store for an hour debating whether or not I should buy them.  With a little encouragement from my friends (thank you Facebook!), I decided to get them.

And they are awesome!!

I would love to know who would buy these:

I'm really, really sad that I left these Star War tumblers at the store.  These should have come home with me!!
