Friday afternoon, Nonstop’s Diane Seo — who can easily resist food — was starving after a day of work. I — who cannot — was stuffed after a cross-town eatfest.

We saw Totoro bags, carved spears, gorgeous jewelry … and food. Hello Kitty nail stickers, wine chiller bags, handmade wallets … and food. Cuteness was in overload everywhere we looked … that and more food.
Is it us? Or is it Hawaii? You decide.
