HELP PREVENT CHILD ABUSE IN HAWAI'I
Bonnie's Closet, a favorite spot with downtown shoppers, is extending a helping hand to Prevent Child Abuse Hawai'i, an organization that offers community education, support and public awareness programs.
The boutique, at 1026 Nu'uanu Ave. in Chinatown, will present a trunk show of ensembles from Key Lime Pie and Sunday Brunch, manufacturers of funky, slightly flashy capri sets. Sizes range from small to extra large. Outfits will sell for $30 per set, with $5 going to the not-for-profit organization.
The trunk show is 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on July 14 and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. July 15. Information: 585-8116.
SCHOOL TRENDS
What fashions will make the grade this fall for the high school and college set? Sassy and G Magazine present their predictions at two fashion shows: 1 to 2:30 p.m. July 15, at Macy's Ala Moana and 1 to 2:30 p.m. July 16, at Macy's Pearlridge. Both shows will be held in THISIT departments.
In addition to the hottest trends in junior fashions, the shows will feature a DJ spinning music, games and prize giveaways. Free, no reservations are required, but come early to get a good spot by the runway. Information: 945-5894.
NEW UV CAMERA
Check out the Murad UV Skin Photography System at Sephora. The U.S. cosmetics firm uses the camera as a resource for consultations on how best to reverse, repair and prevent damage to the skin.
"Photos with the UV camera show sun damage beneath the skin's surface; you really do see your skin in a different light," said Jeannie Higa, Director of Sephora Ala Moana Center.
Photos and consultations are free but reservations are required at 944-9797.
