Tara is an exotic beauty in Susana Monaco’s dolman-sleeved tunic dress ($156), accented with RueBelle’s silk-flower cuff ($96) and gold-filled hoops by Nina Kuna ($55), all at Nuage Bleu.

See-worthy

Next to a Maui tan, what could be more lovely than Tiffany & Co.’s 18k-gold starfish pendant ($1,725). Making points above Pompei Beach’s olive bikini ($180 at Imrie), it’s a look we give Five Stars.

tropical-fashion-3You Know You’ve Arrived

. . . when you make your entrance at Honua Kai Resort in  Letarte’s silk belted dress ($272), which Tara pairs with a Tiffany & Co. silver cuff ($1,350), silver pendant ($380), and reversible tote ($595). Elyse Marcella strikes a casual note in her Beautiful People top with cutout shoulders ($148) and James Perse linen slacks ($142), both available at Biasa Rose. Her accessories: Marcia Moran’s agate-slice cuff ($132), Hula Hoops Maui bangles ($70 each) and oval earrings ($80) from Nuage Bleu.

We Can’t Keep It under Our Hat.

We’re nuts about this James Perse V-neck top ($63 at Biasa Rose). For a refreshing look, Elyse accessorizes with Nina Kuna’s gold-filled opihi ring ($55 at Nuage Bleu) and a coconut drink from Olowalu Fruit Stand.

After a day of catching rays—and admiring glances—in bikinis by Pompei Beach ($180 at Imrie), Tara dons Letarte’s white crinkle skirt ($176) for a romantic and feminine cover-up, while Elyse takes a sporty turn in Paige Denim shorts ($142 at Nuage Bleu) and James Perse button-down shirt ($171 at Biasa Rose).

tropical-fashion-6What’s Black & White & Gorgeous All Over?

Letarte’s zebra tunic ($218) keeps the fair Elyse from sunburnt shoulders, but she takes the plunge in their one-piece bathing suit ($174), and has gentlemen’s heads swiveling all along North Beach. Hula Hoops Maui oval earrings ($80 at Nuage Bleu), Tamara Catz’s woven sunhat ($38), and Baron & Leeds’ diamond-encrusted Rolex watch (price on request) complete the look-and-look-again.

tropical-fashion-7Photo Finish

Tara and Elyse are picture-perfect in Pompei Beach teal bikini ($180 at Imrie) and gold-embroidered rayon dress ($159 by Tamara Catz). Elyse wears Baron & Leeds’ diamond-encrusted Rolex watch (price on request) and RueBelle earrings ($96, exclusively online at www.RueBelle.com). Tara sports an 18k-gold bottle necklace ($475) by Tiffany & Co. We think the Duke would approve.
