a new iPhone app!


Alright, I might be stuck on the iPhone 3Gs...
and Shimmer might only have the iPhone 4G (no S)...

but no matter what version,
the iPhone has been one of those magical life changing experiences.

Amongst some of our favorite apps including instagram, twitter, & a number of style apps... this new application ranks at the top of my fav list.

The CARD application by Apple. It's simple.. you take a photo, personalize the text, add in the address and BADA-BOOOM!

You've sent a card. Whether it's a post card, thank you, invite, reminder, hello, love note, or just a good 'ol fashion thinking of you card...

Find it on iTunes Application store here.

Tennis


One of our favorite things to do during FALL is play tennis. Since the sun sets a little earlier, and it tends to be cooler, Hawaii's fall season offers some of the best weather for a tennis match.

It's also a great way to get out some aggression with exercise. Not too mention the opportunity to wear adorable active wear...

Add a few cocktails and a boombox and we've got a TENNIS PARTY.

Want to join the Tennis Party?

Fall in love...



We've fallen in love with the sloppy brim of the BUCKET HAT!

Whether worn casually with a pair of jeans, or paired with a floral dress, the bucket hat is the perfect accessory for FALL!

In Honolulu? Check out MishMash Boutique, Art + Flea, and Brandy Melville for cute hat selections to match your fall look...

The Morning After: First Friday & A Kailua gig



I'm failing my own challenge to eat locally. It’s not that I didn’t try; it’s just that being conscious of what you eat takes a lot of effort. And with my hectic lifestyle, my schedule is always in flux and I’m never quite sure when I’ll be able to get home to make a home-cooked meal with local ingredients or be able to pack and consume a home lunch.


Plus, let’s be honest — there isn’t a large selection of alcoholic beverages made in Hawaii, so every beer or cocktail violates my daily eat-local challenge. But I’m giving it ONE more week and still need your help with recipes or advice of how to continue this effort to eat locally. So pretty please, with a Hawaiian cherry-on-top, send me your sustainable suggestions.

After a pretty mellow week I was ready for First Friday festivities and met a few of the guys for a beer atBar35. If you’re a beer enthusiast, you’ll enjoy the $3 bottle and draft beer specials during Happy Hour (4 to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and all night from opening to closing on Mondays). Another interesting feature at Bar35 is that they serve 40-ounce beers. The kind you get from the corner liquor store and drink out of a brown paper bag.

The Morning After: Locally Grown


I’ve been leisurely reading this book called “Lunch in Paris” by Elizabeth Bard. In between the pages of vivid descriptions of Parisian markets and the love story are dining experiences and French recipes with cooking techniques that would put my cooking to shame.

It’s not the best book to read while healing from my wisdom teeth as I’m still suffering through a practically all-liquid diet with the occasional treat of mushy foods like mac and cheese or mashed potatoes.

But this book got me thinking about Honolulu’s culinary community. With a big push for “farm to the table” dining, and emphasis on local foods — what is now a growing fad has always been in most of the world. We as Americans have become so accustomed to having choices, convenience, and luxury in our dining experiences when most dinners are made from whatever is available. I’ve realized that I don’t appreciate this commodity nearly as much as I should and in this coming week I’d like to challenge myself to only purchase locally produced food at the market and at any restaurants.

If you would like to join me in this challenge, or have any suggestions on local restaurants that feature locally grown dishes please email me at StarAdvertiserLacy@gmail.com

The Morning After: Guest Starring Tiare Thomas






"I had so much planned for this weekend — from watching half-naked men play with fire to a delectable birthday dinner — but all plans went out the window when I started getting a severe migraine Wednesday night. It turned out that putting off having my wisdom teeth taken out all those years had finally caught up with me. I ended up spending the weekend reading books, sipping soup and being comforted by friends and family. So instead of boring you with my mundane weekend, I put my best friend on assignment. After saying “hot boys and fire,” it wasn’t difficult to convince her to cover a few events for me in between her hectic schedule as a stylist. I mean, what are best friends for?"
