I got a FE diaperbag as a gift but had NO IDEA how to use it - it's an older version with the bassinet attachment. It was from an aunty, NWOT, and I don't mind it didn't have tags, or that it's an older version. I've always been the kind of girlie to thrift shop because I'm not a fan of what the clothing industry has done to our planet. This is why we went to FE-Kapolei in the first place: for someone to help us figure out how to use this thing. Read my review for the Kapolei location to know what happens next. Anyways, since that first visit, I visited FE a bunch of times because of their baby clothes. One reason I'm also not a FE person is the prints are too much for me. Put it this way, the only print I would kind of consider wearing is the simple fish print in black, no other colors! And then next thing you know, there's also a baby section as well for my son! Having a baby changes you, I'll still thrift for my clothes, but I wouldn't mind getting my son the newest clothes from a locally owned, woman ran business. Also, I LOVE being able to text the store and reserve items, no driving all the way to find out it's not there! And the quality of the clothes is definitely there. Decided to buy a baby onesie for our family photos and another baby onesie for our friends who are pregnant. I know baby clothes don't last long, but I just couldn't help myself! Overall, I may only like a couple things from FE, but the fact that it's supporting local is a big plus for me! Also, the quality of the clothing is so great considering the price.

They are full of the aloha spirit, super friendly, and helpful. Make you feel right at home. I really like that they have a variety of items that are wearable not only if you're visiting Hawaii on vacation but also things that you can take back home especially if you live in California or have a coastal beach style. Their jewelry selection is so cute lots of little island themed type jewelry that is sophisticated and dainty and not overly priced at all - very affordable. They also get new inventory quite often so it's great to be able to check them out if you're staying for a longer period of time to see if they have new items or if you're like me you may just be tempted to go back to make another purchase. Mahalo for the aloha Mahina!

They have a wide range of clothing selection. I like how they just put one of each size out and they will replenish it from the back if a size gets sold. It makes it easier to shop when the racks are not overloaded. I lost some weight so I was so happy when their jeans finally fit me. The last time we came, the zipper wouldn't go up. My daughter was helping me zip it up and I felt like I was in the movie White Chicks! Lol. Bought a couple of earrings, a cute bracelet, two tops and a jeans. My daughter went nuts with the jumpers and bought a pair of jeans.. with her own money! Lol! We love this place and we will def be back!

She also has an online shop which gives the option to ship or pick up in store. They have sales on a regular basis and carries good quality clothing & accessories for a reasonable price. I absolutely love shopping there and could not recommend them more highly!

They have ample parking spaces out in front of the store.

Manuheali'i has for a long time been the go to location for myself and my colleagues, in fact, our…read morecoaching staff went with matching Manuhealii prints for almost a decade. For me, the two main reasons to buy Manuheali'i. First, their clothes is often made with a thinner material which is both comfortable and practical, especially during the summer. Business attire or dining out looks better when you're not sweating in your thick cotton aloha shirt. Second, their prices used to be just a tad lower than a lot of the other high end Hawaiian fashion designers. But that seems to be changing. It's going to be more difficult for Hawaiians to wear Hawaiian wear if the prices continue to increase but if you're looking for something professional, fancy, and comfortable, this is probably one of the best brands to go with.

I was excitedn to find a few things to purchase. They do have a good selection of merchandise as well. Some items are a little pricey but I found that they are worth the quality.

The boutique itself has all your Hawaiian dress attire needs. From different styles of dresses, shirts, blouses, skirts, jumpers, light cardigans and sweaters (and bags!), the selection is great and feels so good to wear! The selection is curated by various Hawaiian designs/prints which changes every season. The quality of products/material is 100% worth the price. In addition, don't be afraid to support local businesses whether you're visiting the island or local. Tip: if they don't have your size at this store, just ask if they have it at the Kailua store!

I wish they had more sizes of the print I was looking for, but it was an older style print. The price range for clothing is about $80-$100+. Manuheali'i is made well and last long. On a busy Sunday, there were about 4 girls working. We didn't quite get a greeting as we walked in, but i made sure we said hello as we walked in (which they just looked at us). But when we needed to see if the other location had a certain dress, one of the girls were more than willing to call them to check.

Shopping in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii…read more.. Lexbreezy had a super long line of customers at the Made In Hawaii Festival a few months ago. I've seen the Instagram posts of their clothing, but never had a chance to look upclose at the styles and fabrics. We were going to lunch in Kailua - next door at the new Oh My Grill - and noticed that Lexbreezy is right here! Wow! With free parking, it's so easy to stop by after a meal. Unfortunately, we took too long to eat and Lexbreezy was closed. I drove back to Kailua and got a chance to look around the cute shop! I liked the prints, but didn't care for the styles. For example, rompers are too inconvenient for me to wear. I'll stop by in a few months and check the merchandise. Maybe new items will come out for the holidays... I noticed a dressing room - it will come in handy since there might not be any returns/exchanges accepted.

The bag was also poor quality (nice print but swap meet ish). I was so upset and disappointed that after about 2 months both pants ended up ripping to the point that it was beyond repair, so it went in the trash along with my money. I paid over $200 for the items that I bought and probably could have gotten better quality items for a lot cheaper at Jeans Warehouse.

We did find the tap shoes at about a third of the price of new shoes. What was nice is that she could try them on so we could sure they fit right before we bought them. She tried about six pair before we found the perfect fit. (She is a princess, for sure.) We also picked up a gymnastics leotard for her for a couple bucks.
