Peek
Tokyo Drifters
What: HONOLULU Magazine is at Tokyo Fashion Week! Fashion editors Stacey Makiya and Brie Thalmann are on a whirlwind trip, attending shows by some of Japan's top designers. Check out the snapshots below, including a runway look from Matohu, and be on the lookout for a full recap (with lots of inside scoop, of course!) right here on Lei Chic.

Brie on Matohu: "This show offered a romantic take on fall with minimal silhouettes and heavier textured fabrics. The ambiance reflected a quiet elegance enhanced by a fog-like mist that enveloped the entire length of the runway."

Watch
Hi Rollers
What: If you caught Monday's episode of Hawaii Five-0, you saw Catherine Rollins go undercover at a local roller derby. Now, watch those same girls live and in person (actual skaters and staff appeared in the episode) when the Leahi Diamond Dolls face off against the South Shore Sirens for Pacific Roller Derby's second home game of the season.
When: Tomorrow. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., game starts at 8 p.m.
