Sharing Aloha with the World
While we still await the full availability of some other dresses that we previewed here recently, we just added a new style that is available right now. These dresses are longer than the regular short tank dress but shorter than some of our mid-length dresses. There are 18 dresses now but we will soon double that in the next week or so.
In addition to the Holidays Sale going on right now AND the coupons for even more savings, we are now offering free shipping on orders of $50 or more via US Priority Mail. When you check out, simply select US Priority Mail and if your order is $50 or more, you will automatically get free shipping.
Two of our manufacturers gave us a sneak preview of some upcoming products for 2010. First is a new Hawaiian summer dress with a cross bust front and adjustable spaghetti straps. This dress will be made in multiple prints (and multiple colors) of 100% rayon and will be available in matching men’s shirts.
The other item was unannounced. 100% cotton scrubs (with dual front pockets) will also be available in late 2009 or early 2010. We have 2 pre-production samples pictured here but there should be around 15-20 choose from when they are available.

Happy Shopping!
Waimea Bay is home to the famous Eddie Aikau Big Wave Surf event. Although they try to have the event every year in December, they can only do it if the waves are big enough and the conditions are rideable. The last time it was held was back in 2004. Here are a few clips we took from the street along Waimea Bay. The beach and roads were jam packed with spectators and tourists but it was well worth it.
One of our favorite early morning hangouts is Sunset Beach on the famous North Shore of Oahu. It’s a far drive (by Hawaii standards, anyway) of about 40 miles from Honolulu but the reward is having the beach mostly to oneself. It’s hard to beat sipping good coffee on a beautiful morning on the beach. Even better (or worse, depending on how you look at it), I still get 3 bars on my mobile phone so I don’t miss any important emails from the office.
The North Shore of Oahu is well-known for the large and often dangerous winter waves. Here is what it looks like during the summer.

As you can see it is as calm as a lake. It’s even safe enough to go walking in the tidepools at night with a flashlight (if you know what you are doing). But during the winter, it gets quite dangerous although it does provide some nice wave watching.
It is already Thanksgiving week, a week of eating, football, eating more and shopping! Talk about living the life this week! All I really need to decide is whether or not to jog a few extra miles to preempt the massive influx of calories that I will enthusiastically partake in on Thanksgiving day. I am not sure if it will be worth the effort though since I will probably eat 10 times more calories than I will burn by jogging. Plus I’ll be tired and I don’t want to be tired at Thursday’s parties. Hmmm.
Anyways, here is a coupon good for 20% off through Thursday night.

Have a safe, happy, and wonderful Thanksgiving! Sleep well and rest up for
Friday morning’s chaos if you plan on going to the mall!
Aloha!
