Mahalo to everyone who bought a Maui Sticker Pack and helped in sending some love to Maui! I’m happy to report that Aloha Lovely has been able to donate a total of $1,224.00 to the Maui Strong Fund. To help support the victims of the devastating wildfires in Maui, I designed some Maui-themed stickers and listed them in the Shop as a way to help raise donations, as well as build awareness for the cause. I created the Support Maui Sticker Pack, which included three different Maui stickers. Customers purchased a total of 68 Support Maui Sticker Packs since August, with gross sales totaling $612 ..read more

Fall is here and it’s the perfect time to add some more cozy to your wardrobe. Although Hawaii will always have my heart weather-wise, I do also adore New England in the fall. We’re talking comfort here, soft fabric layering, wonderful textures and pieces that translate easily to even colder weather. Here are some of my current style staples for cooler weather. Overalls I am a big fan of overalls, during almost all seasons. I currently have two pair (although I regularly resist adding another pair). I have one lighter-weight pair more suited to spring, sometimes summer, and fall, and then one ..read more

Hearts are breaking worldwide for Maui residents as they face devastation from the catastrophic wildfires from last week. There are many ways to show support for those facing such loss both big and small, through monetary donations and donations of much-needed resources and daily essentials. After personally donating to the Maui Fires Fundraiser via the Na Wahine Toa Foundation, I thought of how I could also use Aloha Lovely to try and support as well. As a small business, I wanted to think of how to amplify how people give and thought that creating a product that could also spread awareness t ..read more

Today I am taking a brief pause on sharing shop updates (although there are a few good ones!) and wandering back into the wellness side of Aloha Lovely. Lately, I’ve been struggling with getting myself back to where I want to be fitness-wise. Sure I’ve been going to my local gym sort of regularly, and even go on the occasional run. But, what I’ve realized, is that when I do, I’m just not pushing myself hard enough. And hence, not seeing the results I want. I came to the obvious conclusion that I needed more structure to my workouts and more accountability. Is anyone else feeling the same? If s ..read more

Building a brand is fun. And full of challenges. And you don’t really know what challenges you’ll face and when they’ll impact you. You just need to know that they’ll come and probably throw a whole wrench into how you operate. I found this out pretty quick after the launch of the product side of my small business Aloha Lovely. So, I wanted to share why I brought production in-house for my brand in an effort to possibly help other small business owners as well as give a glimpse into how I’m operating and growing my brand. Deciding to go from blog to brand with Aloha Lovely was one thing. I rea ..read more

I’ve got some new tees in the shop! Super stoked about these designs as well as the new fabric blend I’m using on three out of the four new tees. They are so comfy and a little bit thicker than the other blend I use (which I’m still using and loving as well). The designs are 70s-inspired in both design and message. I just can’t get enough of these retro vibes! For me, it’s all about feel-good fabrics as well as feel-good designs. Just feeling good all around. The fit is relaxed and offered in unisex sizes. Wear the tee tucked in, tied up, or free-flowing. (Click on each image below to head str ..read more

So pretty much everyone at the present moment is having to deal with social distancing in some form. Coronavirus is making its way around the world and disrupting life in ways we never imagined. The modern world hasn’t dealt with a virus of this magnitude, so we’re all scrambling to adjust to this new (and hopefully temporary) norm. This post isn’t meant to tell you how you should or shouldn’t be doing something: like a lecture on how to wash your hands or basic personal hygiene (there are enough posts about that). I just wanted to share how we are handling it in our little household and keep ..read more
