I had an amazing experience shopping for my wedding dress at Attractions Bridal. Originally I…read morewasn't expecting to find my dress here since Kona is such a small town, but I ended up being surprised by the variety of wedding dresses available at the shop! Dana was easy to work with and was awesome at providing the type of dresses that I was interested in while also being mindful of my budget (she made prices clear and did her best to stay within my budget), also able to make me feel comfortable and welcome. She listened to me throughout the appointment and provided some dresses that I didn't expect to like based on what I was noting - of course one of those unexpected options ended up being the dress for me! The rest of the process was easy, and the dress was gorgeous!! Overall, I would recommend Attractions Bridal to anyone looking for a dress on Big Island; Dana is super helpful and knows what she is doing.

She even could get bridesmaids and Matron of bride dresses ordered in many color options. The small downside is that all dresses need to be ordered so make sure you go as soon as you can so you can order the dress of your dreams to arrive in time for the big day!! If the dress you want isn't in the shop she can order from the few designer catalogs she offers as well. Honestly I fell in love with the dress in the window and haven't stopped thinking about it since!!! (the one in the photo Dana picked out to try and I also really loved it!)

Linda is an absolute Angel.

I wasn't familiar with her work for wedding dresses so at first I was a little worried. However, she was so confident and reassuring and understood my vision for the dress. She was on schedule extremely reliable and made sure we got it done on time with such a short notice. There was a weird issue with the bust of my dress as I have smaller chest and it was bunching in weird areas but she made it look so natural and made the dress flow. She is really the sweetest and has tons of experience and I would trust her with all your wedding dresses. If you are on a crunch I need some quality work definitely call Linda. Totally reasonable prices as well!

Whenever I'm in Hilo, I would come to this little strip mall called - "Hilo Shopping Center", just for two reasons - 1. Lanky's Pastries..........this is my all time favorite local bakery in Hilo. As I always would come here for their Cream Buns, Glazed Donuts, & Monkey Bread. 2. First Hawaiian Bank (Hilo Branch), as this is my customer...........it's just like I get paid to visit my friends, and while I'm at the bank, it just so happen for me that I have to fix something for them (while I'm visiting). :D Aside from these two businesses, I've seen a lot of business come & go from this little strip mall. On my recent visit this past Friday, I was pretty shocked at how empty the mall looked like when I took a quick stroll inside of the mall. Established back in 1961, the Hilo Shopping Center was the 1st shopping center on the Big Island, and from looking at the strip mall directory, they currently have the following businesses listed here - 1. First Hawaiian Bank (Hilo Branch) 2. Lanky's Pastries - I went here on Friday (12-4-2020), and they were closed. I hope they didn't close down permanently??? 3. Island Naturals Market & Deli 4. Kamana Kitchen 5. LV Tech 6. Optical Dispensers 7. CVS Longs Pharmacy 8. ACR Dollar 9. Restaurant Miwa 10. Sole Comfort 11. The Orient Connection 12. Diva's Boutique 13. Liberty Tax 14. Edward Jones 15. Bayada Home Health Care 16. Keiki Dental Specialists 17. National Fire Protection 18. Hilo Air Conditioning & Repair 19. Yoga Center 20. Native Nations Education Foundation 21. AlohaCare 22. Diet Center 23. Hilo Family Dental Center 24. Hawaii First Community Resource Center 25. Hawaii First Federal Credit Union 26. Sunlight Cafe 27. Hawaiian Brain Freeze 28. Jin Ju Hair Salon 29. Institute of Acupuncture 30. Happy Valley Seafood Restaurant I'm not sure if all these businesses are still in business, as the mall sure looked pretty empty. Of course we are in the middle of a pandemic, so I'm not sure if a few businesses had to closed down for now, until safer times. I am hoping my beloved Lankys Pastries will reopen one day.........I kid you not gang, I actually stopped by Lankys (2) times on Friday!!! I first came by Lankys Pastries around 6:45 AM, but when I saw it was closed, I was thinking maybe I had come here too early in the morning, and that they had not opened up yet. Then later that afternoon, around 1:00 PM I swing by Lankys again after leaving K's Drive In, thinking I'd stop by for my Cream Bun fix. This time after parking & getting out of my rental car & walking up to the bakery...........the bakery was closed, but the bakery items/shelves were still in there. Please pray with my that Lankys is just closed for a short time, and not permanently........Aiyah! (Sad Panda Face!)..............

We would have meetings on the Big Island every so often. After our gatherings, we'd roam around the town! This store still has amusing gifts, practical items, and cute stuff! It has postcards, jewelry, t-shirts, plushies, baby items, children's toys, Aloha shirts, soaps, lotions, books, Hello Kitty merchandise, tote bags, greeting cards, and more! Service is very friendly! The nice lady at the cash register asked me about my Shohei Ohtani shirt... LOL! Note: this store didn't have air conditioning... shucks!

Best vintage aloha shirt selection in Hilo…read more I didn't expect much from the casual storefront with emphasis on kids and women's clothes, but to my pleasant surprise I discovered the most carefully curated selection of designer vintage aloha shirts on the street. I went into all the vintage shops on that block, and Stella's place had the most prime assortment of men's Manuheali'i, Reyn Spooner, Tori Richard, and Sig Zane aloha shirts. Shirts were fairly priced according to rarity. I found 6 I wanted but rationed myself to 3: a long sleeved Manuheali'i, a short sleeved Manuheali'i in Christmas red, and a Reyn Spooner. Woman owner said Stella is no longer with us, but she is Stella's daughter. I appreciated that she was willing to give an opinion on each shirt as I tried them on. Pricing may be negotiable on multiple purchases? I just paid the marked price on my 3 selections since it seemed reasonable. Only one small changing stall so you have to wait your turn; a second changing room would be a nice improvement.
