LIFE WITH STYLE IN HAWAI'I
SPRING  2008
Scene 
The Varsity
Revamped d cor, new management, and a fresh coat of paint have done wonders for The Varsity, formerly Magoo's Pizza. Great pizza and ridiculously cheap beer are still on tap, along with new additions like a sushi bar and curry stand. Big screen TVs, too. 1015 University Ave. in Puck's Alley.
restaurant epic
Need a vacation? Epic's sleek, golden interior foold you into thinking you'r in San Francisco or New York. The upscale fusion far (Epic stands for Euro-Asian Pacific International Cuisine) enhances its cosmopolitan appeal. You'd think there be big city prices to match, but for happy hour executive chef David Hofman has crafted a delectable p'p menu. Wash it down with an Epic signature mojito.

 what to wear
Whether pau hana means loosening your daytime do for martinis with the girls or swapping work duds for play clothes and a pizza date, spring's punchy color scheme makes sure the working girl doesn't take things too seriously.

Model Anavic Ibanez shows how it's done: re-mixing neon Doc Martens and layering sporty tops for a kickback session at The Varsity, and playing up an office-worthystructured dress with cheeky yellow patent accessories for martinis at Restaurant Epic. The one rule for spring? Anchor those bold pops of color with neutrals such as beige or gray.
