Most Wanted - May 2012
The Fashion Police is issuing an all-points bulletin for the Lei Chic team. This crew is notorious for crimes of fashion. Its latest violation: overshopping.
For the past four weeks, undercover detectives have followed its members from store to store. Surveillance photos show them casing window displays and chatting up sales clerks before moving in for the big bill.
If you know the whereabouts of any of these individuals, contact the Fashion Police immediately.
Warning: Suspects may be charmed and dangerous.
Suspect: Brie
Style description: If Marc Jacobs married Zooey Deschanel - Feminine fashion-forward silhouettes with a vintage spin.
On a recent Target run, I discovered the store's newly revamped stationery aisle, plum with ultra-cute, ultra-affordable card sets, such as this blank trio from Mara-Mi ($3.99, set of 12) and charming thank you pack from Compendium ($6.99, set of six).
Target, 4380 Lawehana St., (808) 441-3118.
While working on a picnic gear story for one of our recent issues, I stumbled upon Décor Craft Inc.'s clever I Am A To-Go Box containers and ended up liking them so much that I bought a few as gifts. Modeled after classic Chinese take-out containers, they're made from soft-but-sturdy silicone and are both dishwasher and microwave safe. I can only imagine the oohs and ahhs you'd get when busting one of these babies out in the lunch room.
$14 each, Red Pineapple, Ward Centers, (808) 593-2733.
Usually pint glasses are logo-riddled numbers made with beer-guzzling guys in mind, so I was pleasantly surprised to come across these two from local artist Heather Brown topped with fun, artsy designs inspired by surf and sea.
$20, Greenroom Hawaii, 2350 Kalakaua Ave. #A6, (808) 924-4404.
Suspect: Stacey
Style Description: If Jonathan Adler and Kate Spade had a love child (okay, Simon Doonan can come along) - Preppy casual with a color explosion.
When it comes to my daughter's style, her future is not so bright. J. Crew's fun patterns and colors can't throw down against that cat who accessorizes with the same red bow or a Disney damsel dress. So when there's something pink, bright and twirl-friendly from the Crewcuts line, like this girl's apron dress, we've got a win-win situation with a happy ending.
$69.50, JCrew.com.
I was always tempted to buy one of those T-shirt scarf-lace accessories, but when I saw the layers of gumball colors and shapes on this sweet number by Saako, I couldn't resist the temptation. P.S. I have to give some props to my personal shopper CY for her super style eye.
$85, saakodesign.com.
Carnivores are flocking to The Whole Ox Deli and devouring the highly-recommended dry-aged burger, but a simple flexitarian, such as myself, loved the assortment of pre-mixed salad options. My summery three-course refresher included an up-beet salad with herbs, a light caprese concoction and a watermelon and tomato mixer.
$1.50-$2 for half-portions of salad, The Whole Ox Deli, 327 Keawe St., (808) 457-0997.
Suspect: Terri
Style Description: Classic, clean lines a la Kate Middleton with a pop of Rachel Zoe. Constant quest for the perfect fitted jacket and heels.
I'm normally not one for flirty frocks, but I can't stop thinking about this Cabo dress from Tiare Hawaii's new summer line. I spotted the white version during a recent stroll through Waikiki and quickly fell in love with its beautifully draped silhouette and delicate metallic details.
Dax & Zan Jewelry designer, Kelley Martin, is so sweet. I spotted this gorgeous blue beach glass necklace at last week's Art & Flea, but couldn't wear the long chain that came with it. So she quickly swapped it for a shorter chain (now the perfect length!) and I've been wearing it ever since.
$10, Dax & Zan Jewelry.
I am extremely picky when it comes to burgers. A recent lunch at The Pineapple Room reaffirmed my opinion that its signature burger is hands down the best burger on the island. I love its juicy kiawe-grilled Kuahiwi Ranch beef, bacon, cheese, avocado salsa and - the ultimate topper - a crunchy spiced onion ring.
$16, The Pineapple Room, Macy's Ala Moana, 3rd Floor, (808) 945-6573.
Suspect: Christi
Style Description: Wants Michael Kors, Giuseppe Zanotti, and Phillip Lim to live in her closet (even though some of them have already come out) - Accessories addict with an urban tilt.
I've never been interested in buying a bookmark (hey, a post-it is free!) until myBookmark's creations swept me off my feet - bad pun intended. Besides this wicked witch, the Ukraine-based architect/designer offers leggy versions in Dorothy, paws, red-soled shoes, slippers, elf, cowboy, and many more.
$25 on myBookmark's etsy site. Shop now for 15 percent off which just about offsets shipping costs.
A lot of my friends still think it's just blazer city but I've been turning to Ann Taylor's latest collections for great neon, color blocked, and edgier pieces like my favorite platform sandals and skinny pants with zipper details. I'd pick up this leather and metal collar necklace and pair it with a slightly longer enamel pendant. Wait for the store's notorious 40 percent off sales.
$58, AnnTaylor.com online exclusive.
Gillia's been one of my favorite collections since we introduced Lei Chic readers to the new line last summer. When I spotted designer Saori Santos sporting this goldfish scalloped mini during a Collins & 8th event, it went on my "must-have" list. The embroidery is beautiful and I love the hemline - shorter in the front to show off that summer tan.
$136 on Gilliaclothing.com or in various stockists.

Oracle has outlined its future virtualization strategy and claims that it is now in a position to deliver more value than VMware. Oracle's executive VP and chief corporate architect John Fowler used an online event to describe an integrated virtualization solutions portfolio that will virtualize and manage the full hardware and software stack, from desktop-to-datacenter.
Making a bid to gain a reputation for "application-aware" holistic virtualization that addresses all the layers of an enterprise datacenter, Oracle says that its has gone beyond VMware's hypervisor-only approach by providing virtualization technologies, the applications that run within, and integrated management — addressing the entire stack from applications to disk.
"By taking a holistic approach that addresses all layers of the enterprise datacenter, Oracle Virtualization can help companies transform into effective service providers that support business priorities, increase performance and reliability, and reduce costs, and inefficiencies," said Edward Screven, Oracle chief corporate architect.
Aiming to move beyond virtualization solutions focused solely on the infrastructure layer and server consolidation, Oracles new desktop virtualization offerings are as follows: Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure 3.2, Oracle Sun Ray Software 5, Oracle VM Virtual Box 3.2 and Sun Ray 3 Plus Client.
With the acquisition of Sun Microsystems now taking full effect after a year of fine tuning the company's assets to match with Oracle's own strategic roadmap, Screven also said that the company was now ready to offer server, desktop, and storage virtualization technologies.

If I use the string, .!god*@0430 I get all the <of's> and <thy's> and other words not given their own Strongs' codes when they are immediately associated with <elohim>. Appreciate any help.

Nokia's first PureView Windows phone might be just a few weeks away. The Lumia EOS is said to feature a 41 megapixel camera of PureView 808 fame.
The PureView 808 was the company's last Symbian phone and it wasn't much of a success, but it did feature arguably the best camera ever slapped on a smartphone. The rumoured Lumia EOS is a Windows Phone 8 affair with a 720p 4.5-inch display, although the specs should be taken with a grain of salt.
It will feature the same 41 megapixel sensor, but in a somewhat slimmer package, which sounds logical, as the PureView 808 was fat enough to have its own reality show on TLC.
In any case Nokia is now rumoured to launch the Lumia EOS on July 9, so we won't have to wait long to see what it cooked up.

Exhibit A: Front view
Exhibit B: Side view
That's a tough question. If I had hair as thick and lovely as yours I would still have it long. Absolutely. But I have heard the same talk. When I cut my hair off a few years ago my own father told me it made me look younger.
Do what you like. I would die for a head of hair like yours!
BTW--LOVE your header and blog design. LOVE.
I think you look lovely and should do whatever you want with your hair! I think age has a lot to do with personality, and so does something like hair length. If the (long) hair fits, wear it!!!! It looks good on you!
I say you are never too young or too old unless you think you are and it sucks to define yourself by someone else's definitions like that.
You look very pretty in your long hair. I say keep it if you want to! :)
I think your hair is gorgeous. It's thick and I think it really suits you. Mind you, I'm a long-haired girl, too, and while my hair isn't curly, it's super thick and super coarse (with a tendency to frizz) and the length actually helps keep it smoother. Last year I cut it to just below the shoulders and hated it - it was so much work to calm it down!
Keep your hair long. When you get to 50, you can maybe reassess. Maybe :)
There is nothing wrong with your hair! You don't seem to have any greys and you look far younger than 39 (am turning 39 too end of Nov). Don't listen to anyone, but please don't cut your hair too short. Dark, thick hair should be shown with pride!
Your hair are gorgeous, don't cut them because somebody says to you they are too long.
I don't think it has anything to do with age. It's your style and it suits you. So do as you wish!
I think your hair length should be determined by what's comfortable for you. I mean that in this way: I tend to like my wife's hair longer, but, at a certain point, things start to happen like she lays down on it and can't move her head. She doesn't find that comfortable, so she keeps it at a length where that doesn't become an issue.
I don't agree that long hair is for the young.
I think you have beautiful hair. Keep it long as long as you want to.
I can't tell. You should put on something lacy and take another round of photos, including enlarged frontal and side view shots. I need to study (cough, cough) a little harder to field an honest opinion. Okay, hubby won't whack me, will he?
Seriously, your hair is perty. I like long, curly hair. My lady had curly blonde hair when we met. Drove me absolutely crazy. And, at 39, you need not speak of being too old for anything. Grown women all over the world can still be found jumping on trampoline's. How immature.
Your hair is gorgeous! You could cut off 6 inches or so, and it would still be long and beautiful! :)
Beautiful hair but I bet a hair make-over-- shorter but still on the long side with soft layers--would make you look and feel much younger.
