[Updated] The Ultimate Guide to Luxury Shopping in Hawaii
I'm excited to share with you my 2021 Ultimate Guide to Luxury Shopping in Hawaii! I wrote a blog post like this back in 2018 on my former website and thought I would write an updated version on my new site here. For my readers that don't know, Hawaii has special discounts on luxury brands that aren't available anywhere else in the world. A sales associate once tried to explain to me that it's because
Hiking the Lanikai Pillbox Trail
This was my first time hiking the Lanikai Pillbox Trail and I can't believe I've never done it before. I've been to Lanikai Beach probably four times now and didn't even think about doing this hike until this past Hawaii trip. We did this hike the day after we landed so we wanted something that wasn't too strenuous but still felt like a workout. The views were amazing for pictures and the hike wasn't too
Top 15 Honolulu Restaurants That I Would Actually Eat at Again
There are many lists that will tell you what the best restaurants are out there right now, but I thought it would be useful to make my own list based on the top Honolulu restaurants that I would actually eat at again. I think it says a lot about a restaurant if you’ve already been there and are willing to spend your money back there again. I've been to Oahu many times over the years
Prince Waikiki Hotel Review
During our Hawaii trip this past February, we decided to fly to Oahu and spend nine glorious days at the Prince Waikiki Hotel. If you've read my previous blog post about traveling to Hawaii during COVID, then you probably already know that a small group of us decided to "work from home" for a week in Hawaii. Since we were planning on staying nine days, we wanted to stay somewhere that was comfortable for all
Chanel Hawaii Shopping Guide (Special Hawaii Pricing)
For the sixth installment of my luxury shopping guide, we're going to visit the Chanel Hawaii Waikiki store located on Luxury Row. This store is a little bit farther from Waikiki Beach than most of the other luxury stores, but at least that means there are fewer tourists and people to deal with. If I'm not lucky enough to make it over to France, buying Chanel in Hawaii is my next favorite place. In my

For the fifth installment of my luxury shopping guide, we're going to visit the Balenciaga Hawaii Waikiki store on Luxury Row. This store is also located in the renovated International Market Place which houses a lot of other luxury shopping brands like Burberry and Christian Louboutin. It's a two-story store with women's leather goods on the first floor and sneakers, clothing, and men's leather goods all on the second floor. The discount for the Balenciaga Hawaii
Gucci Hawaii Shopping Guide (Special Hawaii Pricing)
For the fourth installment of my luxury shopping guide, we're going to visit the Gucci Hawaii Waikiki store on Luxury Row. The Gucci stores in Hawaii will probably be your next best bet on saving money right after the Gucci Outlet. If you haven't had a chance to learn about the Gucci Outlet, I made a full blog post about it here. Otherwise, if you are visiting Hawaii and are looking for the newest Gucci
Christian Dior Hawaii Shopping Guide (Special Hawaii Pricing)
For the third installment of my luxury shopping guide, we're going to visit the Christian Dior Hawaii Waikiki store on Luxury Row. This store is located in the T Galleria Shopping Mall which is a duty-free mall. This means, in addition to the special Hawaii discount, you don't have to pay any tax. It's like a double discount! Unfortunately, not everything is discounted though. For example, women's shoes do not have a special Hawaii discount,
Saint Laurent Hawaii Shopping Guide (Special Hawaii Pricing)
For the second installment of my luxury shopping guide, we're going to visit the Saint Laurent Hawaii Waikiki store on Luxury Row. This store has a special place in my heart because this is where I bought my first YSL item ever. We were in Oahu celebrating a friend's bachelorette party and decided one day to all go shopping together. My plan was to only be a spectator and just watch all the other girls
