My August StyleUnited Tastemakers Peggy Jordan, Tattoo Artist of Electric Paradise Tattoo, left, Amber Chesebro, right, Jeweler, Salty Girl Jewelry - both spotted stylin' in Honolulu, HI.
Living year-round in a tropical wonderland means keeping up a casual but style-conscious look. My latest lovely StyleUnited Tastemakers are both East Coast natives who've learned to incorporate their more dressed-up hometown looks to something that works well in a land of surf and sea. It's budget-friendly and breezy. For anyone who loves embracing a bit of West Coast style in their wardrobe, here's a great pathway and insight into beach-y and lightweight style:
A few weeks ago I did a segment with the vivacious and gorgeous blogger Catherine Toth of TheCatDish.com on beauty, fashion and food culture in my hometown of Honolulu, HI. The first part covered skin-healthy food and sun protection for your hair. Here's part two where Cat shares her favorite local accessory, swim and clothing designers. Tropical styles are truly beautiful here in this paradise.
Take a look at some of the fashion finds here, and see what you think. I recommend mixing and matching them into your look, whatever your style. Celebrate the last few weeks of summer! xoxo
