Hawaii

From the lush tropical forests of Kauai to the volcanic terrain of Kona, Hawaii proudly maintains its legendary reputation as paradise on Earth. Stepping off the plane, one is immediately met with the sensorial experience of the sweet scent of Plumeria carried on the island's warm humid air. Locals extend the aloha spirit with adorned leis. Mai Tais and poke bowls become the quintessential fare, and daily rainbow sightings serve as gentle reminders of life's inherent magic.

While the iconic Hawaiian shirt remains an enduring nod to tropical allure (read, they make for great gag gifts) it's the island's idyllic setting that truly influences our packing list. Think earthy tones and pops of color reflective of the tropical flora that paints the landscape. Raffia bags and straw woven hats evoke the charm of thatched-roofed bungalows, while pearl earrings and seashell necklaces serve as tangible reminders of oceanic treasures - style with a bikini and the sun. Aloha!
