We’re leaving the mainland and heading for the islands for this week’s freebie giveaway. Well, I guess I don’t mean that literally (unfortunately) but we’re leaving it up to So’mace Lifestyle, a new design boutique in Honolulu, to bring the Hawaiian experience to all of us.
So’mace Lifestyle is a new gallery & shop spawned from a design service that started in 2004 by former New Yorkers Kaypee Soh and Edward Macey. The new boutique, which has a focus on sustainable and green design, is chock full of great art for your walls (wallpaper), for your floor (rugs), for your dreams (bedding) and- here’s where the prize comes in – for your sofa (pillows).
Kaypee Soh’s line of original pillows (view full collection here and here) is a mix of nature-inspired florals and graphic retro designs, all hand-printed in Washington state and hand-sewn in Hawaii. They feature 100% linen covers with a 20″ x 20″ feather/down and hypoallergenic insert. Plus, with two different, coordinated designs on each side, you can give your couch a fresh look just by flipping the pillow over. And one lucky reader will have the chance to do just that…
To win your choice of any one of the six pillows shown below, just comment on this post with the words “ALOHA” by Wednesday, February 18th at 8pm EST. And since Hawaii is such a popular honeymoon spot, we’d also love to hear where you went (or are hoping/planning to go) on your honeymoon. As you probably know, we actually left the lower 48 and headed the other direction for an Alaskan honeymoon. Not quite as warm, but it managed to be just as romantic.
So’mace Lifestyle will ship this great prize anywhere, so don’t hold back all you international pillow lovers! We’ll be picking one winner using random.org and announcing it later in the week as usual. Now, what’s Hawaiian for “good luck”?
If you’re curious, you can get more details about our giveaways here. All images courtesy of So’mace Lifestyle and Kaypee Soh

We were practically babies when we got married (he was 22 and I was 20), and couldn’t really afford a honeymoon then. But, I’m thrilled to say that we spent the week around our 12th anniversary on Oahu last summer! LOVED it and can’t wait to take our whole family back someday.

Aloha, Youngsters. We honeymooned in N’awlins’ French Quarter. Outstanding food and music, and mmm, beignets were our company that week. My neighbors are off to Kuai’i (sp?) later this week, though.
Happy Post Valentine’s Day to you. (My husband and I never do anything special on V Day, since you asked in prior posts. We do it up on our anniversaries of meeting and of getting married, though.

ALOHA!! Just before our own wedding we attended a friend’s wedding in Maui. To save money we drove over to the Hana side of the island and camped – it was lovely. Then we joined the wedding party for a one night luxurious stay at the resort where their wedding was held. A few months later we spent our honeymoon hiking in Austria.

My husband and I were married on 8/8/08 and honeymooned on the lovely island of St. Lucia. It was amazing and beautiful, and we can’t wait to add Hawaii to our list of travels together.
Lynette says
Aloha!
We went to Hawaii, (Maui, The Big Island and Oahu.) We loved all of them, but for different reasons. We can’t wait to get back, we day dream about the great breakfasts we had, the romantic sunset walks on the beach and the never ending rainbows.

Aloha! Umm I know someone who has a beachy room just begging for one of those pillows. Plus we were married in Hawaii! (Maui to be exact!) I couldn’t imagine anything more romantic. Ok, maybe if my husband wasn’t on crutches it would have been a little more romantic, but it was still amazing.

Aloha indeed! Wow, all that color and style–just the sort of thing to spice of a room any time of year. My how pretty–it would be hard to choose which pattern. Thanks for introducing all of us to this line. We honeymooned in the Cayman islands–but Hawaii is next on our list of beachy destinations! : )
