Gotta Have Alliway

Alliway @ Ward Warehouse is one of my favorite boutiques on the Island of O'ahu, because you can almost guarantee going home with jewelry or some cute bag for yourself or a present for a friend. Miss Alli Kim-Czerniak helped me get my jewelry line (ki-ele) off the ground. Here's a look at of one of Alli's monthly events, this month featuring a trunk show by local beach jewelry designer, Maya Heacock.

MAYA PAPAYA - Local jewelry designer/part-time farmer for Organic Agro Ecosystems on Kauai, Maya Heacock ("sounds like peacock, but with an 'h' ") presented at Alliway this past Thursday. It was Alli's April (last Thursday of the month), Gotta Have It Thursday and I was more than happy to snap a shot of Maya in her evening threads. Dress, Hinge (Nordstrom); slippers, Payless and beachy jewelry, hers truly, Maya Papaya.

TT: If you were a flower, what would you be and why?
MH: A plumeria, because the flower brings nostalgia for important ceremonies, like May Days and graduations


I absolutely love these distressed wood beach wall decors at Alliway. So why don't I have one? Coz, I'm saving up to get a big one some day. Alli, make note ;).
