Hawaiian Jewelry

Hawaiian Dresses and Hawaiian Shirts for the Whole `Ohana! Pa`inaGirl.com specializes in cute Hawaiian dresses. Our Hawaiian dresses are popular choices for informal beach wedding dresses or affordable bridesmaid dresses and range from fun and flirty to casual elegant. Hawaiian dresses and matching shirts can be worn for all occasions; our matching aloha prints can be used for parties, family photos and luaus, unique bridal wear, company events, and of course just for fun. In fact, our resort wear has been very popular for beach wedding dresses or garden wedding dresses since they are so comfortable and pretty, too! (Matching the guys in Hawaiian shirts is always a nice touch, too, even if you are just attending a party and are not in the party!) We are located on the island of O`ahu, nicknamed "the Gathering Place," as most of the population in Hawaii lives and works here. Even though it's cold out, why not take a trip to the islands, even if only in your mind? You'll be warmed by the thought! Locals here in Hawaii have been enjoying the comfort and style of "alohawear" since the 1930s, but the popularity of its bright colors and prints has caught on everywhere. Perhaps it's because of the happy feelings these friendly prints evoke -- put on some alohawear and you can't help but feel as though you're on vacation in paradise! The modern Hawaiian dress is actually something of a new phenomenon for the ladies -- in previous years, the "hawaiian dress" was usually a very conservative mu`umu`u -- definitely not very provocative (however, island women and girls do still wear mu`umu`us on Aloha Friday!). HEY HULA GALS! Looking for hula costumes? Check out our hula store at HulaStuff.com for muumuus, pa`u skirts, coconut bras and more. PA`INA PEEPS! Some of our model friends are something of celebrities in Hawaii. Check out the gallery. Currently in our Hawaii celebrities gallery: Miss Hawaii 2002 Kehaulani Christian, Actress and model Sondra Barker, former UH Football Offensive Assistant Tyson Helton, Island entertainer Jon Yamasato and former UH record-breaking quarterback Nick Rolovich. Cool and hip aloha shirts always abounded for the guys, but stylish island girls found it hard and frustrating to express their Hawaiian style in a feminine way. Only in recent years have aloha wear makers finally caught on and realized that sexy Hawaiian dresses belong in every island girl's closet! You can take the girl from the island... but not the island from the girl! From silky, elegant matching resort wear to bold, fun Hawaiian print dresses, we've got a range of high quality clothing appropriate for every occasion. Let your 'ohana stand out with colorful matching Hawaiian attire --- whether your 'ohana is made up of you and your significant other, co-workers, family, or close friends. Pa`ina means "party" in Hawaiian, so get into the party mood with some great clothes! If you're planning a Hawaiian style luau, complete your theme with some colorful Hawaiian dresses and the essential matching Hawaiian shirts from our Bold and Fun Hawaiian Dresses and Shirts Collection They are made of high quality cotton and can be conveniently machine-washed.

Maui, the Valley Isle, has many different honeymoon options for a romantic Maui honeymoon. There is a wide variety of wedding locations on Maui, ranging from beautiful Maui resorts to sophisticated private estates to white sand beaches. Weddings on Maui range from just the two of you, barefoot on the beach, to a five star gala at a world-class hotel. Maui is a wonderful combination of Old Hawaii and New Hawaii. There are parts of the Valley Isle that feel untouched by modern life, and other parts that bustle with the commerce and vibrancy of the Hawaii tourism industry. Maui is a great choice for wedding couples who want to offer themselves and their guests many options. If you have part of your party that loves to shop 'till you drop, you can be happy on Maui. If you have members of your wedding party that love the quiet serenity of the Hawaiian nature, you can be happy on Maui. There truly is something for everybody on this Magic Isle, consistently voted the "Best Island In The World" by Conde Naste magazine. Maui boasts some of the most spectacular resorts in Hawaii. The competition is fierce on this island, so you may be able to negotiate rates during off times. However, at some of the very discriminating properties, you will be looking at upwards of $400.00/night for your lodging. Maui wedding venue options include a hotel, a private residence, a public beach or a quaint church. Talk to one of our Maui Wedding Planners about your many options. What is a typical Maui honeymoon like? There truly is not a "typical" maui honeymoon, as the options on the island are so diverse.

Honeymoon packages on Maui are not all-inclusive in the same way many honeymoon packages are in other regions such as Tahiti or the Caribbean. However, Preview Hawaii can help you arrange a Maui honeymoon itinerary that covers all the major bases, so the only decisions you need to make after coming to Maui is where to eat dinner and what shopping to do! Go through all of the Maui honeymoon options on Preview Hawaii and call us with any questions you have about this very special once in a lifetime trip! Should I use a travel planner or plan my Maui honeymoon on my own? You are certainly capable of planning your own Maui honeymoon with extensive research and time. However, you may not have that time as you are also planning for the wedding and running your normal life. An experience travel planner in Hawaii can present you with options that are based on first hand experience of Hawaii, and the knowledge of the best possible values in every price bracket in Hawaii. Though Preview Hawaii is a very extensive resource in planning your honeymoon on Maui, we could never replace the personalized service of a honeymoon planner. How do I get to Maui? There are two airports on Maui, Kahului International Airport and Kapalua Airport. Kahului is the primary airport, with international and mainland domestic flights arriving daily. However, Kapalua is a great option if you are traveling inter-island from Oahu, and plan to stay in the Kapalua, Napili or Lahaina areas. Do I need to rent a car when I get to Maui? It is STRONGLY recommended that you rent a car on Maui! Public transportation is very limited and time consuming. How far in advance should I plan my honeymoon on Maui? Planning for a Hawaii honeymoon can be done in less than six months, but many begin planning as early as a year prior. If you need help planning your honeymoon on Maui, please call our toll free number at 866-773-8844. What time of year is best for a Maui honeymoon? The great thing about Maui is that the weather is very mild and temperate year round! There are of course weather differences on each side of the island, and within the many microclimates of Maui, but on any given day there is a warm, sunny beach on at least one side of the island! So, you really can feel comfortable planning your honeymoon on Maui any time of year. The sub-tropical weather can be unpredictable, and as we say in Hawaii, "no rain, no rainbows!" so be prepared for some changing weather. Is it common to visit more than one Hawaiian Island on my honeymoon? It is very common to visit at least two islands in Hawaii for your honeymoon in Hawaii. The islands of Hawaii are so diverse, and each is a very different experience. While Kauai is rural, slow and oriented towards the outdoors, many of the other islands are busier and more cosmopolitan. The best step in beginning to plan your honeymoon in Hawaii is calling us at 866-773-8844 (toll free on Kauai) to discuss your dream honeymoon in Hawaii. After asking you a few questions about you and your fiancée, your interests and your budget, we can put together a custom Hawaii honeymoon proposal that will based on your needs. How much is inter-island airfare in Hawaii? Are there other ways to get from island to island? Unfortunately, inter-island airfare in Hawaii has risen in price recently. The inter-island air segments are now sold only as one way tickets, and are $75.00 each at the cheapest, usually closer to $90.00 each way. Here at Preview Hawaii we are able to get more affordable rates through Hawaiian Airlines. Call us toll free at 866-773-8844 to get a quote on inter-island airfare!

A girlfriend looking for catering for her May celebration - called inquiring about "ono" Hawaiian caterers. A rattled a few that I've experienced...Akau's Hui, Maruju Market, Haili's, Helena's...but it dawned on me that there is a great diaspora of "Hawaiian" caterers out there - with their fare ranging from traditionally prepared imu kalua pua'a...to the oven-roasted liquid smoke version. Both can be flavorful - but you can tell the difference. Not all squid luau, chicken long rice, or lomilomi salmon's are created equally either. So what makes it good? I think like wine - it's up to you. Depends what you like...what's your "ono" factor?

Hawaiian music artist. If

Hawaiian 101 Hawaiian Music 101 "Ho'olohe mai kakou la i na mo'olelo la o ka wa kahiko" (Let us listen together to the stories of the ancient days) Ku Kahakalau "Everything you know is wrong." Firesign Theater Quick test: Name a Hawaiian music artist. If you said Don Ho , or couldn't think of one, this is the page for you. Whatever you think you know about what Hawaiian music sounds like, it's quite possible that you're wrong. If you think it all sounds alike, you're wrong for sure. I've put up a couple of internet "radio stations." Unlike most internet radio, I'll tell you the name of the artist on each song, plus there's a popup box that will show you song title and artist. (They're on Live365 , where you'll have to register if you're a new listener, and you'll have to log on each time you listen. It only takes a minute, and it's well worth doing.) If you're not very familiar with Hawaiian music, these stations are here to introduce you: Hawaiian 101; An Introduction to Hawaiian Music - It's almost two hundred of the best songs from the biggest Hawaiian albums from the lastquarter century (about 13 hours of music), just the thing to introduce you to what you've been missing in contemporary Hawaiian music. You'll hear old Hawaiian songs, pop hits, some reggae, some rock, and even a touch of Polynesian rap. This one's 56k stereo. Slack Key Paradise - All Hawaiian slack key guitar, all the time. Also, some interviews from Dancing Cat Records artists mixed in. This one's set on Shuffle, so you may hear the same artist back to back occasionally, but it's all great. 24k, so even dial-up connections should be able to get it. If you're already a Hawaiian music fan, there's lots more to hear on the web; visit my mikini mele page, the Hawaiian Music Machine, to find all the Hawaiian music on the internet that I know about. Here's some links to learn more about Hawaiian music: Stevo's Hawaiian Music Guide 1997 article (by me) in Perfect Sound Forever music magazine Ukuleles by Kawika , See the artistry that goes into the creation of a great concert ukelele (and a great web page). Download some .wav files and hear the differences. Hawaiian Music Island . To buy Hawaiian music, or learn about artists and records, visit Auntie Maria's site. She's got a special place for you to start, the Introduction Page . Search her database, listen to clips, buy at good prices. Don't forget, while you're there, check her concert calendar . Some great Hawaiian artists may be coming to your neighborhood soon. Don't miss them. And of course, I know you want to buy Hawaiian 101 logo stuff; it's here. I hope this very short introduction will help you start finding some newfavorite songs while you're listening to the most beautiful music in the world, andhelp you support the artists that make it. Maybe I'll see you at a concert one of these days.
