So incredibly grateful and honored to have had the opportunity to walk in the 15th annual Goodwill Goes GLAM! 2026 fashion show. Not only was it a night full of fashion, style, and glam, but it was also a night full of community, empowerment, and supporting a good cause to raise funds for free job training and employment programs to help local residents facing any employment barriers reach their fullest potential.

This year’s theme was “POSH’d” by the esteemed @valeriejoseph to celebrate sustainable fashion, as well as the value and potential of transformation and finding 2nd chances—whether in clothes or life in general✨

I am fortunate to have been selected to walk in Group 4 - Go The Distance, but which highlighted transformation, strength, courage, empowerment, rising above all else, and finding, celebrating, and honoring oneself.

It was truly a wonderful, meaningful, and unforgettable experience. I am truly grateful for the Goodwill Hawai’i and Goodwill Goes GLAM! team, lovely models and special performers, and all those who helped make this show possible both on and off the stage💖 Until next time!

✨”Last Call”✨
So incredibly honored and grateful to have been able to walk in such a meaningful, innovative, and stylish collection as part of @honolulucc‘s ‘A Night at the Museum’ 2026 spring fashion show.

From Day 1, Carol & Liliani worked to ensure each model felt comfortable and confident in the look being designed for them, and they spent countless hours of care, dedication, and creativity to bring this collaborative collection to life. I was truly inspired by them, their work, and their amazing abilities, and I loved working with both them and all the other wonderful individuals in this show! This was such a special experience and congrats to all the designers (esp. the senior designers!), stylists, tech staff, models, and volunteers on a successful show!

(Playing a bit of catch-up…😇)
Last month, I was fortunate to have had the incredible honor and opportunity to walk in the 1st annual LAIZAE Hanbok HI Fashion Show as part of the 22nd annual Korean Festival at Kapi’olani Park.

As soon as I saw and put on this hanbok, I immediately and absolutely fell in love. A hanbok w/a modern twist, its intricate and skillfully-made design artfully blends both traditional and contemporary aspects of Korea’s culture and style.

The comfort, flowiness, gracefulness, elegance, and material were—and are—all very much appreciated. It was a dream and privilege to have been chosen to wear this hanbok and have a chance to help showcase its style and design. Much gratitude to both Min and the rest of the incredibly talented and hardworking @laizaehanbok_hawaii team, along with @koreanfestival, for their care, creativity, support, encouragement, and artistic vision. The fashion show and event would not have been possible without them!

Everyone at the festival—both models & festival goers alike!—looked so stunning in their respective hanbok. It was truly a memorable and meaningful experience to learn about and be surrounded by Korean culture while also participating to help share part of Korea’s style through their hanbok.

What made this event even more special, too, was that I was asked to be interviewed by a Korean News Channel afterwards! Even more valuable, though, was how a little girl eagerly approached me w/her father, as she wanted to introduce herself, congratulate me, and share how the hanbok I wore was her favorite one and that she was the one cheering and clapping the loudest whenever I was on stage😄 Meeting and talking w/her after the show while still wearing my hanbok and accessories made me feel like a celebrity or princess!😊😌 This also served as a fitting, unique, and moving gateway, for which I am grateful☺️ It was truly an honor and I feel so fortunate, again, to have been a part of this event, meet and work w/such incredible individuals both leading up to and throughout the festival, and wear such a lovely hanbok🩷✨

Ua ola loko i ke aloha - “Love gives life within.”

Always lovely and fun getting to see, chat with, and shoot with Mark! His creative eye, professionalism, and incredible talent and skills are all greatly admired🫶

Hope everyone has been doing well and has simply been enjoying life and all those little moments😌💖 To those in Hawai’i, I hope everyone stayed safe and were alright throughout the storm, and that power has been fully restored! (Ours recently did😅)

Yesterday I spent the evening in Hawaiʻi Kai for Island Distillers Summer Cocktail Party and it did not disappoint. Handcrafted signature cocktails, light bites, and a behind the scenes tour of the farm and distillery. 🥃🌱 Hibiscus, Coconut, and Lilikoi are grown organically from their garden. We even got to create our own Lilikoi Vodka bottles to take home which was really cool of them, & tried their 18-month old Bourbon 😎🤙🏽

Huge Mahalo to the @islanddistillers fam for such a genuine, laid back experience. You could feel the family owned love in every part of it, from the spirits down to the people making them. 🍹✨

An evening full of sushi, sake, socializing, support, and style, here’s a little glimpse and some bts into the Sushi & Sake Night as a fundraiser event for @alohadiaperbank✨ Here, fashion and fundraising came together to help raise both funds and awareness for diaper insecurity in Hawai’i.

Lots of time, dedication, and care were put into this event by all the hardworking and creative teams, and I am very grateful for Valerie and Karen for granting me the opportunity to be a part of this meaningful event as well💖

To the other wonderful women showcasing the @poshdhi designs and styling, thank you so much for welcoming me into this little community and it is an honor to have been able to walk alongside you folks🥰

Celebrating culture, creativity, and couture—all for a great cause💖🌸

Very honored and grateful to be a part of such an impactful event and wear such an outfit that both blends and represents culture and style in an elevated and fashion-forward way. I am reminded of the value of honoring your roots, embracing who you are, and coming together to celebrate, support, and uplift one another.

Lots of appreciation to Valerie Joseph and Karen Mashiba for their creative vision and styling, and for granting me this opportunity to be a part of this event. Loved being surrounded by and working with such inspiring and lovely ladies, too, and congratulations to @alohadiaperbank for a successful fundraiser! ‘Twas an evening full of elegance, glam, and aloha🫶
