BORN AND RAISED IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, SISTER DESIGN DUO OLEEMA AND KALANI MILLER OF MIKOH HAVE ALWAYS CALLED THE NORTH SHORE OF OAHU, HAWAII THEIR SECOND HOME–AND PURCHASING HOMES THERE SEALED THE DEAL. “YOU WAKE UP AND THE FIRST THING YOU SEE IS THE OCEAN,” KALANI GUSHED, “I LOVE THE TEMPERATURE AND THE COMMUNAL FEELING–THE FAMILY VIBES ARE EVERYTHING, ALONG WITH THE SLOWER PACE OF LIFE.” FAMILY VIBES INDEED; OLEEMA CREDITS THE AMAZING FOOD ON THE ISLAND AND THE NEVER-ENDING BEACHES AND CRYSTAL CLEAR WATERS FOR HER OAHU OBSESSION. HERE, THE COUNTLESS SHOPPING, DINING AND SURFING SPOTS THAT KEEP THESE SISTERS IN LOVE WITH THEIR HOMETOWN.

SHOPPING

THE NORTH SHORE IS LIGHT ON SHOPPING HOT-SPOTS, BUT THERE ARE CHIC BOUTIQUES (THAT ALSO STOCK MIKOH!) LIKE NO. 808, SPLASH, SAN LORENZO AND THE GUAVA SHOP–THEY’RE GREAT TO POP INTO AFTER YOU’VE HAD SOME SHAVE ICE AT MASTUMOTO. TAKE A DAY TRIP INTO TOWN FOR THE HIGH-END BOUTIQUES; ALA MOANA IS GREAT FOR A RANGE OF STORES. WHILE THERE’S EVERYTHING FROM CHANEL TO LOUIS VUITTON ON THE ISLAND, HAWAII ALSO HAS THE MOST INCREDIBLE VINTAGE STORES. WE’VE SCORED GREAT VINTAGE FINDS AT SALVATION ARMY AND CHINATOWN IS AN UP-AND-COMING HUB FOR SUPER COOL THRIFT AND CONTEMPORARY LOCAL FINDS. KALAKAUA AVENUE IN WAIKIKI HAS SOME OF THE BEST SHOPS–SHOPPING ON THE BEACH, WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT?!
