Art & Flea: Love for Wes

I can't recall if I've ever put up a post on here about Art & Flea...but oh well, here's one.  I used to make it a point to attend all of the Art & Flea events that are held monthly, but I managed to miss a couple recently, for whatever reason.  Even so, I was able to attend the most recent one that was held on April 24, 2014.  The theme for this one, as there is a theme each time, was "Love for Wes," a commemoration of the director and screenwriter Wes Anderson.  The warehouses where the event was held were appropriately adorned with decor reflecting the theme, and people surely dressed the part as well.  I would have dressed to fit the theme, since I am someone who typically likes to dress accordingly for an occasion, but I seriously didn't have anything that would remotely fit the bill.  All in all, I had a good time at this event, as I typically do.  Although I wasn't able to take a photo booth picture, which I usually do at these events, mainly because I was too impatient to wait in the long line for it...next time for sure.  Below are photos I took while at the event (and one of something I bought while there), that I will take time to caption later, but feel free to ask me in the comments if you have any questions about them.  All photos taken by me, aside from the one I'm in (of course).  =]

HNL Night Market - April 19, 2014

It has surely been a while since I've attended a Honolulu Night Market, an event held monthly in the Kakaako area of downtown Honolulu.  I managed to make my way there this month, however, to see what there was to see.  As usual, there were lots of great local food trucks that represented an array of diverse foods, both sweet and savory.  Entertainment was also in abundance, with live musical performances, and a fashion show in the lineup.  But being the shopaholic I am, I of course had to check out the Pinch of Salt featuring local vendors that had clothes & accessories, artwork, and other nifty things for sale.  I did end up picking something out while browsing through these vendors, that I'll share either in a future post here, or on my Instagram account.  Below are some photos I took while attending Honolulu Night Market.  All photos taken by me, aside from the one taken by Ericka Bueno (the one I'm in).  =]

Too bad someone smudged the chalkboard. Haha.

Rag & Bone Ready

Last week before attending the Honolulu Night Market, I went strolling around with my dear cousin Rowena to see the murals completed by Pow Wow Hawaii down various streets in the area.  Since it was a gusty day, I wore my tweed-like cardigan by Rag & Bone along with a pair of shorts also by Rag & Bone, so I wouldn't get too warm through the night.  We did our best to see all of the murals that were completed, but there are still more to be explored, so I'll try to see those sometime soon.  Below I have some outfit shots in front of some of the walls we passed by, along with shots of just the walls.  All photos taken by Rowena Salanga.  =]

Outfit Details: white cotton v-neck tee by Ralph Lauren, wool blend tweed-like shawl collar cardigan by Rag & Bone, rust colored frayed edge cut off shorts by Rag & Bone, Bag: black lambskin with black nickel hardware Rocco mini duffel by Alexander Wang, Shoes: distressed black with black spikes Lita by Jeffrey Campbell.  See other photos for accessory details.

White geometric pendant necklace by Givenchy, silver stainless steel rings by L'Mond, antique silver chevron stacked bangles cuff by French Connection.

Some of the walls we passed by...there were more, but they were still in progress.  Not sure about the artists that did these, so check out Pow Wow Hawaii for more info if you're interested.

Event: Pow Wow Hawaii Artist Gallery Show 2013

On February 9th, I attended the Pow Wow Hawaii artist gallery showing at Fresh Cafe with bestie Ericka and Davis, our good friend from college.  Pow Wow Hawaii is a collaborative artist movement primarily focused on urban street art here in Hawaii, that annually has a week long string of events showcasing artists from both here and around the world.  An amazing artist friend of ours, Remi Mead was showing and participating in the festivities for Pow Wow Hawaii, so of course we had to stop by to support her work.  Being the dorky fangirl that I am, I wore my Remi Mead buttons so everyone there could see my support and pride.  Below are a couple photos of us at the show, as well as some outfit details, pieces of artwork I liked, and an overview of the showing.  Photos taken by Eric Baranda of Nonstop Honolulu, Ericka Nicole Bueno (Mixe Medium), and myself.  =]
