iLuck bracelets are one of my favorite accessories to wear. My favorite two are the Wooden Bracelet with the Eye and the Braided Bracelet with the Hamsa…I mix these two with my other jewelry EVERYDAY!
These bracelets should be worn everyday and when the bracelet breaks, you’re suppose to make a wish. The most two frequently asked questions are, ‘What does the Eye represent? The Hamsa?’ The ‘Eye’ has different interpretations. Some say that it is ‘the window to the soul’ and others say that it ‘signifies the the understanding.’ The ‘Hamsa’ (which is the hand) provides a magical protection from the evil eye and known to draw positive energy, happiness, riches and health. Five is by itself a number which is known as a protector.
These make the perfect gift to give to your girlfriends..who wouldn’t want some good luck in their life?
- CZ Horseshoe (available in black and red; $32)
- Braided Leaf (available in green; $26)

When I’m in NYC, I must visit Billy’s Bakery located on 184 9th Ave. I’ve always had a sweet tooth for chocolate, not cupcakes. But, his is the BEST! The cupcakes are soft, moist, and delicious-All In One! What are more could a girl ask for? If you’re ever in the city, you MUST have a bite!
Look at all those vanilla & chocolate cupcakes!! The staff are friendly and always have a lot of energy….as if they were on a sugar high.
This is my friend Jan! She loves Billy’s as much as I do and we LOVE to shop together in the city. (She bought four that day!)

Welcome! It’s DOLCE’s very first blog entry…this is blog site will be filled with great finds at DOLCE as well as other great stores, fashion do’s and don’ts, and I’ll also be adding some of my favorite ‘things’ of all time. DOLCE, a little boutique, is filled with fabulous products mostly from the ‘Fashion Capital,’ NYC. This cute and stylish boutique is six months old and located at Ward Centre (next to Mocha Java and the Honolulu Chocolate Company). Many of the brands are new to Hawaii but often seen in magazines and celebrities.
Currently, DOLCE carries LnA, fLuXuS, Calypso, Matt Bernson, Monrow, and Lauren Moshi to name a few. We will soon be featuring J Brand, Beirn, Qi, Vita, and MORE!
A little about myself…Personally, I’m addicted to shopping and need the ‘MUST-HAVES’ of the current season. I’ve been in retail for about 15 years (Oh my, where has the time gone?). I began my work experience at T&C Surf all the way to the high-end luxury world of Ralph Lauren. It’s been a long journey but I’ve learned so much while working at the RL East Hampton store during the summers (and had the opportunity to chat with Mr. Lauren himself!). I love to shop…EVERYWHERE. From little, unique boutiques to department stores. Fashion comes in all walks of life..it’s about looking fabulous yet comfy. I’m often seen in a LnA top (one of my favorites) and boyfriend jeans. But, I absolutely ENJOY getting glammed up in a dress with some gorgeous heels. I hope to see you all at DOLCE!
This is me…Christie. (Photo taken at a Ralph Lauren bonfire get-together two years ago)

Welcome to DOLCE!
I love creating window displays. This particular one took a lot more work..finding the shells, painting, gluing. I have visitors that come everyday to look at the frames. The shells and rocks were collected from various Hampton beaches over the summer.
CALYPSO’s “Julia Dress”
I have this dress in so many colors. It’s a great piece to have in your wardrobe. I love this dress because you have the option to wear it with a tank and flat sandals (or pair it with your favorite ballet flats) or dress it with your favorite heels. It’s made from silk and it’s MACHINE WASHABLE! How fabulous is that!!
CALYPSO’s “HESTER DARJEELING”
Tunics always make a comeback during Spring and Summer. It’s so easy to wear with leggings, with skinny jeans, or as a dress. And, there perfect for the year round weather in Hawaii. All women should have one in their closet!
