Summer Series #6: Maui finds

During our stay here, we ran into a couple of sweet and self-indulging finds that made the days - and nights - prettier than ever. The local Maui sunglass brand has a catchy name, Maui Jim, and a series of models from sports shades to classy, Jackie O-like dark shades. For once, the logo is not the main element that stands out in the brand's creations and that is a refreshing change. The model above is called Lani and is a good example of the unfussy line. To go with the classy touch, tha Malie body cream is perfect - it feels like having landed in Plumeria heaven once you rub the luscious lotion in. The product is organic and again is made locally with the typical Hawaiian flower reknowned for its heady scent and rainbow color combinations to be found in the traditional lei necklaces. Last but not least, local women do know how to do their hair in elaborate ways that compliment the simplest outfit - it is just bluffing. While at the spa, I met the creator of the shiny hair halo and pin featured in the picture. The flower pin can be placed anywhere on the halo, while the latter can also be used alone. The effect is just instant prettiness in a hair bun or around loose hair. The artist Mona Lisa designs a whole set of flowers and pins, some simple and others quite more elaborate, but the combinations are basically endless and fun to imagine.
