on a friday

when it strikes + zia

it's no surprise that on a friday, the indie jewelry line based on oahu, has been getting a lot of buzz online. the website is one of the prettiest around and proprietor/jewelry designer liana miyamura creates handcrafted pieces that are also affordable. the when it strikes necklace caught my fancy and would definitely make football sundays a bit more stylish for this charger girl-at-heart.

since everything at on a friday is one-of-a-kind it's best not to wait to pick up your favorite piece since you may later return to find a sold sign mocking your procrastination. and here's a good reason to fill up your basket: orders over $100 score free shipping!

wings hawaii

hot pants + surf girl hoodie

it's not every day that you see island inspired graphics on underwear but i love that the girls behind wings hawaii are doing something a little unexpected. each piece is individually hand printed by the wings team on maui with delightful designs ranging from surfer girls to honus to the very pretty wings logo. 

i also love that wings works with clothing that is sweatshop-free and made in the usa (more love for american apparel). if you love what you see then do the happy dance since you can score 15% off your order with the code below.

modern day maestro

he is adored in japan and is just starting to hit the radar on the mainland thanks to one jimmy buffet. need another clue? pick up a copy of ukulele virtuoso jake shimabukuro's latest cd gently weeps which arrives in stores today.

you're in for quite a surprise if your last recollection of someone playing the ukulele is tiny tim on "the tonight show" (click over to itunes to listen to a clip of "shake it up" from last year's dragon for a rockin' introduction).

like what you hear? jake will be returning to hawaii for a show at the convention center at the end of the month and bring his 21st century uke style when he performs with the honolulu symphony pops over thanksgiving weekend.
