Shopping in Kailua, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. Strolling along the sidewalk, I passed by Aloha Kira and did a double take. I saw Miffy on the top shelf of this store. I had to go in and ask... "Is this store related to the one in Waikiki?" Yes! This is the sister store of Kira x Miffy at the Royal Hawaiian Center! Of course, we had to look at all of the Miffy merchandise... fanny packs, hair clips, stickers, caps, plushies, etc. Other items featured Hello Kitty, Kuromi, My Melody, Snoopy, and more! There were pet gifts and a children's corner! The decor was cute and bright! Service was cheerful and attentive! We'll be back because this shop is more convenient than Waikiki! Plus... there's free parking behind the building!

I love this little boutique shop but who really loves this spot is my dog- they even have a little…read morepolaroid photo of Lando up in the shop. Everytime we go in, they are sure to give Lando so much love and treats. When I try on clothes, the girls here even offer to hold Lando when I'm in the dressing room. Lando will pull me to Aloha Kira everytime we're in the area- he loves the cute dog sections with dog toys and bandanas. The curation of all the stuff here is immaculate - exactly my style! My biggest weakness is baggu bags- and they always have all the newest styles and colors. I will always check Aloha Kira before buying it online and avoid the shipping costs and wait. The selection here rotates so they always have the newest trends- from dresses, matching sets, and I love getting sunglasses from here. If you're looking for a gift for the "it girl" in your life, Aloha Kira is the shop to check out! It's a good price range, especially for gifts!

I just had my first experience at Aloha Home Market as a vendor and it was absolutely perfect!…read moreBefore that I hadn't done a public market so it was a great first-experience!

I did buy a hand painted dish cloth for $34 and a hand painted bag for $58. Both were tropical designed. Depends what you're looking for ie jewelry, wood work and there was also a Humane Society van with a line outside of it.

Shopping in Kailua, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. We were strolling past this store when a cute little tote bag caught our eyes... We were drawn in by all of the colors, varieties of merchandise, and quality of goods. SoHa Living has several locations. This store is known for home decor, home furnishings, and souvenirs. Besides tote bags, we looked at earrings, hats, magnets, zippered pouches, pillows, shell necklaces, note cards, dishes, and more! Staff were busy with customers, so we really didn't interact with anyone. It's a great place to browse and purchase gifts!

TC replaced the Times Supermarket, which I do miss though there is one in Kaneohe. Stopping by for their sushi and bento counters is a favorite pasttime of mine. A perfect excuse to get a few of my favorite snacks lol! Definitely an ikimashou for me! Free parking in Kailua SC, though finding a parking space may present a challenge during peak times.

Cute little shop for eclectic fun stuff!…read more They have cool jewelry, a lot of which is ocean related: shells, mermaids, fish-themed, etc. This is a cute place to come for little gifts that are one of a kind. I tend to wander in here while I'm waiting for cinnamon's restaurant to let me get seated... The owner/shopkeeper is sweet, helpful, and will answer any questions you may have! Parking is street - metered, but it's usually not too hard to find. Feel free to wander on in to enjoy their AC...and support local!! :-)

I subscribe to the notion that if you don't have something nice to say....well, you know. But my…read moreexperience at The Mermaid's Collection (TMC) was so bizarre, I just had to write! The shop is very small and intimate with lots to look at. The entrance to the shop is a sliding glass door so you can see the whole shop from the outside. My mom had gone in and found a pair of earrings she liked but wasn't sure about. She fetched me from another shop and we went back to TMC together 15 min later. The woman running the shop- seemingly the owner- was rude rude rude. When we walked in the woman was un-engaging and unhelpful. She didn't greet us, or try to help us at all. We wanted to see the earring again; but we couldn't find them. They were gone! We were clearly searching for them but were offered no help, even though we obviously wanted to buy them. In trying to get her attention, we went as far as to ask if she had sold any earrings in the past 15min and she said no. She has a surveillance system and the monitor is blatantly open for all to see. The whole time we were in the shop her eyes were glued to that screen. She NEVER took her eyes off of it! Eventually we left as the earrings were nowhere to be found, and I don't support stores who treat their customers this way. After leaving the shop we sat outside because we were waiting for restaurant reservations. We could see clearly into TMC as a couple other browsers went in, looked and left. The whole time her eyes were glued to the surveillance screen. Then we were completely appalled as we watched her rewind the surveillance video and watch the footage of US in her store! My mom and I just couldn't believe it. The best way to describe this woman and her shop is outlandish and BIZARRE!

This cozy shop is filled right from the door all sorts of artsy items easily shop for my besties...and myself lol! Looking for something unique to send to my friends out to the states is challenging at times as the usual items found in Waikiki isn't as crafted with the local flair that we all love, tastefully chosen items are so appreciated. Some of that flair is found here which makes it easy and fun as well besides supporting local is something we all must do along with the helpful and kind staff shopping in Kailua is the classic way to go whenever I'm in the area. Thank you!

Everywhere you look there are amazing and unique pieces of clothing, hats, small pieces of sculpture, jewelry. He has amassed an impressive collection lot legit vintage jackets (some from France, old military pieces and cool Levi's) and sweatshirts in cool colors with the perfect amount of fade and they are soft and comfy. And one of the coolest things (and I've never seen this before) they will professionally sew one of their vintage patches to their cool jackets or even embroider them, making each piece so personal and one of a kind. This is a special gem and a must see. Next time I will add my review for the ridiculously cool sister shop Olive's. Beautiful women's clothing, jewelry and housewares......

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.

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.
