Maui treasures

Last month when we were in Hawaii, Dr. Beautiful spent an afternoon on the golf course so I took that time to go into town, explore, and do a little shopping.

As tradition with us, going back to our first trip to Jamaica when we were just dating, we always buy a magnet to commemorate our travels. I found the perfect Hawaiian magnet.

I found this jumpsuit at a boutique in the town of Lahaina. I am really digging jumpsuits. I have not worn this yet, but we are going out to dinner tomorrow night with my in laws and this just might be the perfect outfit.
I actually got this little coin purse right before my trip, but I thinks he looks great with my jumpsuit.
How could I go on a tropical vacation and not pick up something Lilly

My hand beaded necklace made entire of papaya seeds, and my new swimsuit cover up I found at a local boutique.
Hand made bracelet from a sea shell and more seeds.
More hand made bracelets, the first 2 are brass with sea shells and 3 are bamboo a local woman soaked in ocean water for weeks so she was able to shape them into bracelets.
I couldn't leave without buying a little bling (or as Dan calls it my P. Diddy ring)
a hand beaded coin purse, perfect for my beach bag....

I was introduced to this lotion at the spa. The scent is "pikake" which is a fragrant and beautiful flower that grows in abundance in Hawaii. The locals say the pikake smells like the Hawaiian islands. I have strangers stop me and ask what perfume I am wearing, I love telling them it is just a lotion I got in Hawaii.I couldn't resist this, mainly because of the label....
thought it was perfect for a week in Maui!
