I’ve been writing a series of blogs about loving where you live. Loving where you live fosters your well-being and contributes to a more fulfilling and positive life experience. When you feel a connection to your surroundings and community, you’re not only happier, but you have a strong sense of belonging and purpose.
I love where I live – the beautiful community of Hawaii Kai – and one of the best parts about living in Hawaii Kai is discovering the little treasures that connect me to our community and makes living here so special. One of those treasures? Cookie’s, a charming boutique tucked into the Koko Marina Shopping Center.

Whether I’m heading to lunch, running errands, or just enjoying a stroll by the marina, Cookie’s is always worth a quick stop — although let’s be honest, I rarely leave empty-handed! This locally-loved boutique is packed with stylish clothes, unique accessories, and cute gift ideas. It’s the perfect spot to find a last-minute birthday gift or a fabulous new outfit (or three!).


The best part? The friendly staff who always greet you with a warm smile. On my most recent visit, I had the pleasure of chatting with the lovely Nou, who truly makes the store feel like home. Her eye for style, combined with her friendly and helpful nature, makes the shopping experience even better.

Inside, the boutique is a treasure trove of fashion finds — from laid-back denim and flowy dresses to beachy-chic jewelry and accessories that are perfect for island living.

I couldn’t resist picking up a few new pieces (and who could blame me?). Whether you’re looking to freshen up your wardrobe or grab a quick gift on the go, Cookie’s makes it so easy and fun.

It’s these local businesses — filled with style, heart, and aloha — that make me so grateful to call Hawaii Kai home.
Next time you’re in Koko Marina, stop by Cookie’s. You might go in for a peek and walk out with a new favorite outfit… or two!
