I have been a couple times. So many cute things from home decor to clothing. Recently bought this…read morecute crop top at half off which was a steal. Otherwise this place is expensive but quality of items are top notch. I always say to splurge on good quality versus spend more on cheaper things to only have to replace them more often. I will say the last time I came into the store, it was quite annoying that a dog was barking quite a bit and then a comment from another customer or friend of the owner not sure. But I definitely ignored the rude remark. I just wanted to do my shopping in peace.

Olive is the cutest curated boutique in Kailua. Clothes, accessories, specialty foods, unique gifts…read more- it's like walking into a perfectly curated Pinterest board! The shopkeeper was so kind and welcoming, and even if you're not in the mood to splurge, it's worth browsing because everything is so beautifully displayed. The prices are definitely steep, but the quality is definitely there. Great for gifts, a little treat-yourself moment, or just inspiration.

Great styles for all. The customer service is great and the ladies are helpful. More stock please.read more

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.

Huge facility!! And Lots of clothes. Just happened to be in…read morethe area when all clothes were $2.99. I made out with some cool graphic tees. And a storage stool that I was looking for a little bit pricey, but it was what I needed, and the colors worked. Everything is separated by style of clothes and color Not by size. Their shoes, toys, and a whole separate store for furniture and HomeGoods. It can be a little bit overwhelming because the store is so big. But if you have the patience, you will find something you need. I came back a couple days later and found some out outfits.

Fighting eel Kahala moved to a bigger location (I think it used to be the very old 33 butterflies)…read more. This store makes so happy because it's so bright and colorful! With so mane selection to choose from, clothes , bags , note cards , towels and more! service is great, each team member is friendly and helpful and make shopping fun! Fighting eel is a local brand so the prices on certain idea can be in the high side. If you have the money and you love the item, you shop, buy and support local!

My daughter and I have been shopping at Fighting Eel since the beginning, and we keep coming back…read more I have items that are almost "vintage" and still get tons of compliments on them! I went in this morning to get some things from my daughter's wish list and Mia was absolutely wonderful! She helped me get all of the items on the list, despite the morning rush. I'd go back just to shop with Mia again!!

One of my favorite stores on Oahu PERIOD. The owner, Lori, is one of the sweetest, personable, dog…read more& environment loving people I've ever met. Everyone who works at the store is just as kind, helpful, and thoughtful as Lori. The positive, friendly & fun culture of this store is unmatched. They've downsized their refill options in the last year to make way for the thrift side of their store, but they still have all the household & personal care essentials we need. Lori does such an awesome job with vetting everything she carries in the store. Basically, if it's in the store, it's because she loves it & it works! We come to Protea at least 2 times a month to refill our household & personal items. We live about 20 minutes away, so we make it worthwhile by grabbing a coffee and a meal from a local shop nearby. I'd highly recommend you check out this lovely shop! Also, make sure to follow them on Instagram @proteazerowaste to find out about sales, events, & more! *Since another review brought it up I wanted to say that they will sometimes post on their IG stories & feed that they have to close early or close for a day when they're normally open (VERY infrequent) because, just like all small, local businesses, that has a small team (I think there are 4 of them total), sometimes things come up and they aren't able to staff the store. I think it's important to give our small local businesses some grace if they're closed when they've supposed to be open. Even though it's frustrating, I don't think it's worth writing a 1 star review without having experienced the store & without knowing why they were closed. Let's practice giving benefit of the doubt & showing some aloha.

While I'm never shopping for bikinis, I always stop in the shop because they have great cover-ups,…read moreaccessories, hats, beach bags, and other beach items. Plus lotions and soaps. For those looking for bikinis or swimsuits, they have many styles, colors, shapes, and lots of designer brands too. There is also a section for the kids. Easy parking right on street out front and next to other boutiques and an art studio. Definitely worth stopping in!

I have spent a lot of money on this website but I will never shop with them again. Their bikini…read moresizes are not accurate and they only provide you 14 days to make a return/refund. If you are about to go on vacation do not buy a bikini on this website! if it doesn't fit right and you don't have time to return it (aka, you went on vacation) they will deny your request to return a bikini that doesn't fit!? Make it make sense.

Daughter & I decided we'd spend the day in Kailua and support the local stores. We came upon Sugar…read moreSugar in Kailua and enjoyed our shopping experience very much. Adrienne had just opened the shop for about 30 minutes and we happened to walk in and were the only customers at that time. Adrienne was very happy to help us as she offered her assistance before we even asked for help. We looked around at all their clothing, jewelry, magnets, coasters, puzzles, hair clips, games, and so much more. We already shop at the Kahala, Pearlridge & Ala Moana stores so we're well aware of their merch. Daughter & I grabbed a bunch of clothes to try on as they have these little private makeshift dressing rooms available. The store is so inviting as they have so many cute and colorful merch to select from. Even if you're not there for the clothes, they have a bunch of trinkets and cards that you'll find something to your liking to purchase. The prices are fairly reasonable for what they have. There were these cute hair clips with floral designs on a wood base attached to the plastic hair clips that was really cute. It sold for $22. It'll make a nice gift for almost any gal with long hair. There's street parking in front but I'm sure you can park in the big parking structure or huge lot across the street. We did and we didn't have any problems on our return. Adrienne was so upbeat, friendly and nice that she makes you want to be her friend for life. We'll be back to support local and dive into their new merch that they pretty much bring out often.

Just different…read more.. Gillia is a cute shop clustered among many others along Hekili Street and was just fascinated with the selection of items that are found here as I love the huge centerpiece table that takes majority of the central space in the shop lays out various accessories from hats to jewelry and even some plates...or perhaps trays or items for display. Their clothing are beautiful though those weren't my vibe the staff there are very nice and helpful while I browse around enjoying it all. Parking is available in the back which is free though is sharing with a few other tenants along with restrooms but I do prefer street parking as it's a quick and short walk to my retail therapy and a joy to support these wonderful small and local biz. Thank you!

Do you dream of having a vacation cottage with a beachy Hawaiian theme with a touch vintage…read moreflare...well Muse Kailua has that in the tiniest shop in Kailua. As a shell lover there was so much here that I loved that I've never seen anywhere else. Everything from clothing to jewelry, accessories, cards, trinkets and the cutest decor. I fell in love with a whale plate but went with a cup which can double as a bowl that I plan to use as a gift for a whale lover...gosh it's so cute!!! I absolutely love finding this somewhat hidden gem that's filled with so much selective treasures with the loveliest staff so patient and kind to compliment every choice you make. Support local, support small and follow them on Instagram @muse_kailua and their online shop https://www.musekailua.com and see the calm this Kailua boutique has to offer. Thank you!

I have many dream homes. My first dream home is a 3-story haunted Victorian Mansion with a large…read morewrap-around porch and wrought-iron fence outside. It would also have a large forest in the back with a small babbling stream running through it. The atmosphere would be a dark, dreary, foggy and rainy place. If you think I'm kidding, I am not. My second dream home would be another 3-story non-haunted Victorian Mansion with an airy porch with flowers all over the place, and the interior would be decorated with stuff from this store: Muse Kailua. I know non-haunted Victorian Mansions do not appear very oceany but who cares! I love the stuff in here and you could probably incorporate a lot of their stuff with your current decor. My current decor is shabby messiness with a hodge-podge of clutter, mess, papers strewn about, Halloween decorations out all-year-long, paper receipts piling up in boxes, dried hibiscus seed pods cluttering up the counter and a pile of (fake) skeletons on the living room floor. No, again I am not kidding. Aside from this foolish decor in my house, the stuff in here is the stuff I dream about: a clean, uncluttered home, airy windows with white billowy curtains, home smelling like fresh lemons and decor from Muse Kaiula: seashells, floral plates, tropical oceany goodness, whimsical lovely items and dream-like girlyness. If you are into Victorian, girliness, girly girl, mermaids, ocean, tropical, and ooh-la-la this is your place, and you're in luck if you're on the mainland because now they have their online store open!! Return factor: OF COURSE are you kidding??? Coz I'm not.
