Milk & Honey new to downtown shop scene

Milk & Honey celebrated its grand opening with a fashion show on First Friday.

There's a new place to shop downtown with last night's grand opening of Milk & Honey at 1128 Smith St., just in time for the holidays.

The boutique celebrated First Friday with a lion dance blessing, giveaways and fashion show to whet the appetite for such wares as House of Harlow 1960 sunglasses and jewelry, J.J. Winters handbags, Low Luv x Erin Wasson jewelry, Soludos espadrilles, REPORT shoes, Dolce Vita clothing, Disney Couture and MM Couture by Miss Me.

With recessionistas in mind, 95 percent of the inventory is priced at less than $100, and owners Patricia Chang and Christine George promise "just the right outfit for every event in a girl’s life."

It's a busy time for multitasker Patricia, who's also in the running for Narcissus Festival queen. When I mentioned she must be super busy now, she added that she's also planning her 2012 wedding. Just another Hawaii superwoman!

The store will be open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays to Saturdays, and by appointment only on Sundays. Call 533‐3343.
