Wear is the Love

Where: Fishcake, 307C Kamani St.

Web of Buys
What: Homecoming fans, rejoice! The boutique is now shoppable online. The web store stocks just shoes and accessories, but the selection is surprisingly extensive. Bottom line? You can now get your Jeffrey Campbell fix without making the trip into Chinatown.
