I heart Manuheali'i Designs too!

I have said before I am a BIG supporter of island designers..and another designer I wear a LOT is MANUHEALI'I by Danene and Pono Lunn. Danene and her husband are a dynamic duo of left and right brain...Danene comes up with the inspiration for the various prints and color schemes, and Pono translates it to an actual graphic design that can then be transferred to printed material. I envy their ability to be able to be so in love after being high school sweethearts work together in a thirving business and NOT be sick of each other!

The rayon blend of fabric they use is fantastic for the humid and often tropical heatwaves that come through paradise..but no matter what I put on, wether a dress of a blouse, I can feel comfortable but well put together.

She also does amazing co-ordinated attire for wedding parties that are so chic yet distictly Hawaii...even if you CAN'T come back to HAWAII and have your wedding, having your wedding party decked out in Mauheali'i will instantly make anywhere you get married look like Kailua!

They recently got into the world of accessories as well...look for their fabulous  canvas bags that are really a great whimsical splash of Hawaii on your arm! If you can't get over to their stores in Kailua or on Punahou street...look them up on their website....http://manuhealii-store.stores.yahoo.net/

Ahhh I can feel the Kailua trades already....
