Silver Star is a tiny boutique located in Waikiki on the corner of Royal Hawaiian Ave. and Kuhio Ave. It's near Loco Boutique and a tattoo and piercing place. Parking is tricky, but I recommend parking at Royal Hawaiian and getting your ticket validate at one of the RH shops...
I agree with Christy K. in that the mannequins are always stylish and cute. I, too, have a difficult time finding stuff to buy. And when I do find something, it's priced way higher than the amount I am willing to spend. My biggest splurge at Silver Star was a military styled jacket with a removable fur collar. Yes, a little "out there" for Hawaii... But totally in my line of style.
I paid $100-something for that jacket, which seemed slightly unreasonable at the time...but I didn't care. I needed it. After about the 3rd time I wore it, the elastic loops that kept the fur in place started deteriorating and stretched out a bunch. Totally fixable, but I was super bummed...mainly bc I had paid a now ungodly sum of money for a jacket of poor construction that I was almost too lazy to fix. It was an easy temporary fix--I just had to sew the elastic back to the fur a little tighter..
To this day, I still have issues with the elastic loops. Even though I've fixed them a couple of times already, they still seem to stretch out and not stay in place. :(
Good thing the jacket is still cute without the fur piece ;)
I will most likely go back to Silver Star, but only if I'm in the area. It's not worth a special trip to Waikiki.
