The Ultimate Guide to Shopping on O‘ahu

Does your pulse race when you hear the word "sale"? Do you plan your week according to when the hottest shops stock their new shipments? Then meet your new best friend and personal shopper: fashion expert Kathryn Drury Wagner. In The Ultimate Guide to Shopping on O‘ahu, she's compiled 200-plus of the best of the best, from hip boutiques to classic standbys and everything in between! These are her top choices for the best styles, selection, and service. This guide covers it all, from the boutiques stocking the gotta-have-it styles of the moment to the classic department store standbys, and everything in between— gifts, maternity wear, shoes, accessories, and even menswear.

The Ultimate Guide to Shopping shares the inside scoop on when boutiques put out their new stock, regular sales, parking tips, events and resources. This purse-sized guide will help the die-hard shopper hunt down anything and everything: Need a hard-to-find-size? Refer to the chapter on “Special Sizes.” Have a hankering for some retro style? Check out the “Vintage” chapter for vintage and consignment shops. Fiscally- or fashion-challenged? “I Need A Fashion Fix!” will help you style creatively for less.
