Waikiki Guide: What I Didn’t Hate in Waikiki

Waikiki is easily my least favorite destination in Hawaii, yet I somehow found myself spending quite a bit of time there this year! Here is a list of what I didn’t hate and all the places that BAMBOOZLED me during my stay.

Hotels

White Sands Hotel – This is the hotel that has the bar with the swing! We spent one night there and it was 100% the most Instagrammable spot we stayed at… but it was still giving off 70s motel vibes. They gave this hotel a mini facelift for the gram, but the rooms left me wanting more. If you can snag a good deal on a room it’s worth staying there, just know that it is off the beach and in an old building.

The Modern Honolulu – This hotel reminded me of a Standard Hotel on the mainland. I loved this location (near the Harbor), but don’t expect any kind of customer service from this hotel. Check-out is at 10 am and there is ZERO wiggle room. I’ve been told NO so many times at a hotel!

Park Shore Waikiki – DO NOT STAY HERE. Don’t even click on the link. Nope, No! It’s right in the middle of the Waikiki CHAOS and

Bars/Restaurants

My favorite bite on Waikiki was from Musubi Cafe IYASUME (the Waikiki Monarch location). Order the eel spam musubi #trustme!

the BEST HAPPY HOUR was at DECK

The Food Trucks are an EXCELLENT idea

Looking for a local bar AWAY from the chaos of Waikiki? Head straight to The Harbor Pub & Pizza. Truly our favorite find for the Waikiki guide.

I’ve never had a bad meal at The Pig and the Lady. We didn’t actually make it to the restaurant this trip – I ordered the Pho French Dip on UberEats and it was a 10/10.

I am PROUD to announce that we ate at Red Lobster in Hawaii. Why? Because I was sick of being BAMBOOZLED and it’s next to impossible to mess up a cheddar bay biscuit.

It’s going to cost you – but you can never go wrong with:

Stay Away From…

Duke’s – I was BAMBOOZLED at their $21.50 breakfast buffet! Don’t do it!

Rainbow Drive-In – I just don’t get the hype! I LOVE Hawaiian plate lunch and this truly was not it!

LuLu’s – We hit their late-night happy hour right after we checked in to our hotel and boy-oh-boy did we get BAMBOOZLED! They refused to honor their happy hour prices and we spent 45 minutes negotiating our bill with the entire staff! No! No! No!

Selkie Puff Dress Sizing and Styling

The puff dress is Selkie’s biggest hit and put Selkie on the map last summer. The dress comes in dozens of different colors and patterns, varying in length but never in volume. The small, independent, woman-owned high fashion boutique brand’s Instagram feels like a secret garden into a femme fairytale land, where this girlish garment is all you need to earn passage into their beautiful otherworldly alternate dimension!

Selkie was launched with an inclusive size range (the Puff is available in sizes XXS through 5X) and I wear a size large.

The puff dress has no waist so you will want to check the product page and measure yourself tightly, with no bra

 Not only does Selkie founder Kimberley Gordon intend on extending the range further by two sizes, but she’s also working with a consultant on reconfiguring the size chart to bring the numbers in alignment with more standard plus-sizing.

I chose to style my Selkie puff dress with a Lack of Color hat and my oh-so-trendy white cowboy boots.

Rag & Bone Miramar Sweatpants Review

The Comfiest Jeans You NEED Right Now

OK, hear me out. I know the thought of sweatpant jeans sounds a little bit out there, but who wouldn’t want that level of comfort in jeans? Get ready for an honest Rag & Bone Miramar Sweatpants Review.

Is it a jean? Is it a sweatpant?

They really are the best of both worlds. The Rag & Bone Miramar faux jeans joggers are truly a masterpiece of deception! These cotton joggers are an oh-so-comfortable canvas for a photorealistic print of whiskered and worn five-pocket-style jeans. You’ll truly have everyone fooled in this ultra-soft, cotton terry jogger printed to look like your favorite high rise,  denim jean.

Really does look like denim -> Really feels nothing like it.

But they are PRICEY! Are they worth it? What will the cost per wear come down to be?

I’ve had them for about two weeks now and can honestly say that I could not love them more. They are 100% worth the $225.

Why?

Because you can literally wear them ANYWHERE!

wear them

all day from your desk (WFH goals) | on a date with your favorite bodysuit | sitting on a plane for hours

I’ve traveled in them and all I can say is WOW WOW WOW! They are comfy AF and I’ve arrived looking polished and put together (even though I’m secretly just wearing sweatpants)!

100% cotton | Machine wash

 Side seam pockets and elastic at the waist and ankle.

They are selling out! Snag your size ASAP | I wear a size medium
