the secret will be exposed

so victoria's secret is finally set to open tomorrow (october first) at ala moana shopping center. just a measly two years since it was first announced they were coming. and although i'm excited that i don't need to stock up when i go on vacations, it kinda sucks that hawaii is just becoming another one of those big box malls filled with all these franchises.

one good thing though, Victoria Secret's amazing looking store front. Frosted glass walls. Very chic. It follows their whole new visual concept of a jeweled box...following suit to their flagship seen here on 59th Street in New York.


people say that the hope stores like urban outfitters, bath and body works, trader joes will come to hawaii; i say no. if anything, i wouldn't mind an ikea, just because they don't ship to hawaii, but we are essentially losing our uniqueness. these big franchises will be pushing out those mom and pop stores, boutiques, and soon...we will be all dressing the same because that's all the world has to offer.

and my uniqueness, that is something i treasure.

today i wore my tye-dye headband to school that livia and i made. my friend asked me if i was trying to be a cool, i said, i dont need to try.
