I know the year is almost over but here's the 2023 refresh on my Ultimate Guide to Luxury Shopping in Hawaii! If you didn't see on my Instagram stories, I asked all of you what stores you wanted to see and I literally spent all Labor Day weekend walking around to all the shops for you. Most of the stores that have the special Hawaii pricing stayed the same but there were some new and
If you are going to Hawaii anytime soon and want to purchase a Gucci item, you might be in a better position than you think! Last month, you could only get the special Hawaii discount on bags and wallets. Well, my lovely sales associate just told me that the Gucci in Hawaii has now included shoes and ready-to-wear in the Special Hawaii Pricing category! That means all bags, wallets, shoes, and ready-to-wear clothing will receive
If you've been diligently saving your Alaska miles and have been itching to go to Maui, you're in luck! I was doing a little bit of travel research for myself and stumbled upon what I think is a solid deal for flights. Alaska Airlines has one-way award redemptions for only 10k miles to Maui from select California cities. So, can literally go to Maui roundtrip for only 20k miles. I can't even go from L.A.
Since it's been a while, I've decided to do a 2022 refresh on my Ultimate Guide to Luxury Shopping in Hawaii! I've updated the list with current discounts, new addresses, and some new brands as well. For my new 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 told me that it's because luxury retailers combine Hawaii and Guam into their
For the first time on this blog, we are going to be talking about Miu Miu Hawaii! This was my first time in the store and I was blown away by how beautiful it was inside. Miu Miu definitely took the time to curate the design of their space and it definitely shows. It's probably the prettiest showroom I've seen in Hawaii! Miu Miu Waikiki Location Is it Cheaper to Buy Miu Miu in Hawaii? Yes, it is
Today, I present to you an updated Gucci Hawaii Pricing Guide from my most recent trip to Waikiki back in January. Unfortunately, it was raining that day so the lighting in the pictures might seem a little dull but I got to try on a lot of items for all of you. If you've read my previous Gucci Hawaii Shopping Guide, you would know that last summer, Gucci decided to change their discount from 20%
I just did a recent post on Bottega Veneta Hawaii about a month ago but I feel like I wanted to update everyone since some of the prices have already risen. Not for the Mainland U.S. prices, but the Hawaii prices have increased since the last time I went back in October 2021. If you are interested in Bottega Veneta, I HIGHLY recommend going to the Waikiki store because it's one of the only stores
Here is your updated Louis Vuitton Hawaii Pricing Guide for January 2022! If you haven't read my first guide yet, you can find it here. In that guide, it'll show you more pictures and items from my visit last year. This year, I try to concentrate mostly on classic bags and accessories. Also, if you are going to Paris soon, I made a special guide here that you can check out too so you have
I did a Celine Hawaii post just a little bit ago but I thought I would do an updated one since I heard from one of my readers that they might have increased the price on a few things. Not sure what items exactly but I thought it wouldn't hurt to take a look around the store again. I tried to showcase some new Celine items as well as some old ones in case anyone
Since I just got back from Oahu, I thought it would be useful to write about the updated COVID Hawaii travel requirements. I wrote an extensive post back in March 2021 and since then, a lot has changed. Please keep in mind that this post is specifically for Oahu. I know some islands can have additional requirements so please check with each island's local guidelines. For this post though, I will go through the exact
Welcome to the January 2022 Dior Hawaii Pricing Guide! If you've been following my stories on Instagram, you probably already know that I was just in Oahu, Hawaii and my first stop was the Dior store. My lovely SA told me that there was going to be a price increase soon so I made sure to pay a visit right after I checked into the hotel. Well, I'm so glad I did because there was
For today's blog post, I'm going to be giving you my Bottega Veneta Hawaii Shopping Guide! If you're new to this blog, Hawaii has some major discounts on luxury goods and most people have no idea. The best part is that these are actual retail stores and NOT outlets. These items are not defective. These are the same items you would find at your stores back at home. In regards to Bottega Veneta Hawaii, this
I'm really excited to share this Bulgari Hawaii Shopping Guide with you today! Mostly because I never thought a big-name jewelry store would have special discounted pricing but also because I'm a big fan of Blackpink's Lisa who is their global ambassador! You might have already guessed that if you just read my Celine blog post too though (lol). Regardless of whether you are a fan or not, if you are interested in Bulgari and
This was my first time visiting the Celine Hawaii store and I almost blew my year’s savings on a new bag. To be honest, I’ve heard a little bit of Celine but never took too much interest in it. That’s until Lisa from Blackpink (any other Blackpink fans out there?!) became a global ambassador for the brand and now I’m kind of obsessed. I guess celebrity marketing does work (lol). So, on my last trip
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
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
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
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,
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
It truly is a strange time to be traveling to Hawaii during COVID right now. Almost exactly one year ago, a group of us were off to Oahu to celebrate my birthday for four days. It was the first big group trip I've done in a while and I was so excited. Deep down, I was also nervous because a new virus was coming out of China and making its way around the world. Hawaii
