CHRISTMAS LUAU AT HULIHE’E PALACE

Save the Date for the 1st annual Christmas Luau at Hulihe‘e Palace, a benefit for Habitat for Humanity along with the Daughters of Hawaii, set for Saturday, November 27, 2010. Hulihe‘e Palace will open its royal gates under the Christmas moon with this exciting holiday event set to get underway at 5:30p.m.

“This Christmas Luau will be a unique opportunity to raise valuable money to help build homes for low-income families here in West Hawaii while also helping with on-going restoration efforts at Hulihe‘e Palace, one of only three royal palaces in the United States,” said Habitat for Humanity Executive Director Patrick Hurney.

my family was just in kauai for a few days. the boys surfed the pier and the girls chatted the afternoon away in the balmy hanalei heat. the creative juices started flowing after discussing bikinis, runway shows and fabric color ways... back to the drawing board.

Vintage Ornaments make me happy!

There is something about the colors in vintage ornaments that I keep going back to in designing the 2012 Kimi &Li line.  Can the hues get any better?
