…is not for the faint-of-crowds—at least, not in the summer of 2015. Since the dollar is about 25% stronger than the euro, U.S. travelers are expected to flock to Europe throughout the coming months. In fact, the onslaught is suspected to be so large that some museums and landmarks are putting a nix on selfie sticks, hiring crowd-control specialists, and …
We’ve all fallen in love with this romantic song by Ed Sheeran, and the dance that he and Brittany did in his music video to Nappytabs’ choreography. It’s hard to imagine that Ed had never danced before—he was a show-stopping heartthrob! Now you can learn the same routine. Ballroom instructor, Pablo Orejuela, teamed up with me to break down some …
Most of us have one. A friend of mine is so strong that she could play a superhero. She has entered triathlons and hiked Kilimanjaro, but she still harbors a girly pleasure. Hers is hair and, believe me, she’s got gorgeous locks. My indulgence is nails. I’m a devotee of Julie, the Polish Queen. She’s on top of every nail …
Happy Monday, everyone! Although we’re back at work, my mind is still on the weekend. In Waikiki, weekends are filled with festivities, weddings, and fireworks. Sometimes the fireworks are related to an event, and sometimes they’re just because…. Well, it’s the weekend and why not have fun?! I filmed a few for you on my phone. https://instagram.com/p/3ZZ_90ifM_/ One of the …
Okay, not really! But if you can’t get poolside with the designer in person, the second best option is to wear one of her creations. I love this bathing suit of hers. Sometimes, I find that the most flattering suits feel like armor. They suck me in here, push me up there, and pretty soon, I realize that in one …
That is what Hilton Hawaiian Village on Waikiki reminds me of. When I first visited this place as I kid, I felt like the Village was a world in and of itself, and it still is. Nestled at the ocean’s edge, it’s great for swimming, surfing, SUP exploring, lounging, and people-meeting. It has restaurants—some with music and dancing, lawn parties, …
When it comes to dancing, there is no trouble getting people to move to this fun tune by Iggy Azalea and Jennifer Hudson…and you can learn their moves here. To recreate the looks of these performing bombshells, here’s my beauty trend tutorial… https://katherinechloecahoon.com/iggy-and-jennifer-hudson-tutorials/
If you’ve seen this dynamite duo performing their hit song, Trouble, you may just have trend envy. So today, I’m telling how to get Iggy’s hair, plus these alluring ladies’ makeups. For Iggy’s look, begin by combing your hair into a high ponytail and curling the ends. To secure the ponytail, split it in half, side-by-side, and pull firmly near the elastic. To …
…is a time to remember that achieving peace and preserving freedom is worth every valiant effort. I managed to touch down in Honolulu among my business travel. Waikiki is a happy, international melting pot where vacationing sun-seekers form friendships on the sand. It’s hard to believe that 73 years ago, 2,400 American servicemen were killed here in a surprise attack …
“I started the business and called it Ted Baker because I thought, from day one, that it would be a failure, and I didn’t want to be ‘Ray Kelvin the bankrupt.’” Founder of one amazing U.K. brand, Ted Baker. I love that quote because it shows that fear of failure is no reason to not try. But Ray Kelvin had …
My grandma has been quite a hit on my sites. I still receive emails that go something like this… “How is your grandma, the one who had her elderly book club read The Single Girl’s Guide to Meeting European Men?” Well, “still chugging along,” as she says. And you probably know that she still likes to dispense tips. She just …
I like to think of this post as Coffee with Caroline Wagner. I actually don’t drink coffee—I know, shocker! But regardless of what you choose for a morning wake-up call, you can slip it in between these poses and really start your day off right. If you do the entire series, it will take more than ten minutes, but we …
Fitness instructor Caroline Wagner is a gym goddess. When she pulls out her mat and strikes a yoga pose heads snap. It’s no wonder that she has appeared on NBC and in several commercials for her fitness expertise. This alone is impressive, but what astonishes me is that her face always looks red-carpet ready—even at the end of a long …
The other day, I was chatting with a friend who has been with his sweetheart for decades. “At first our love was filled with so much raw passion,” he recalled. “But I’d honestly say that I love my wife now more than I did the day we got married. Our love has moved into a close bond. She is my …
Yesterday, I was taking a break and scanning through a magazine when I spied a picture of the lovely Charlotte Olympia. That got me reminiscing about when I met this glamorous lady, so I decided to showcase her spring/summer shoe collection on this Fashion Friday. I call it “sorbet style” because Charlotte dipped her shoes in those hues—and I can’t think of …
