Splashin' Fashion 4th of July Pool Party

Nothing marks the middle of summer like a good old fashion pool party! Poipu Athletic club and some amazing people put on one epic 4th of July Pool party for the island of Kauai! Equipped with waterslides, great food, mixed drinks, amazing music, a KaiKini Bikini fashion show, good vibes and positive energy - we danced and laughed all the way till sunset! Although America is kind of weird sometimes, we are so grateful and thankful to have freedom to party in a bikini all day!

Of corse, America's greatness didn't happen over night, and neither did this amazing event. We would like to thank all the sponsors, Kalei Marston, Valerie Rubio, the models, the amazing hair and makeup team (Jaime, Jessica and Alana), and all who contributed time and energy to this event.

Check out some pictures taken by photographer Dan Campbell-lloyd of the 1st Annual Kauai 4th of July Pool Party, and the Splashin Fashion KaiKini Bikini Show!

Flash Tat your HYDRO Flask!

What we aim to do with our hand-MADE on Kauai blog series it to be relevant. And what is more relevant than water?! Whether we are surrounded by it, in it, or drinking it, water is most relevant in our everyday life (especially with a bikini).

Basically all of Kauai has ditched the plastic bags and bottles- and are proud owners of every size and color hydro-flask. Some are dec'd in stickers, handles, wrap carrying bags and different accessories. - but what if you dressed them up in... (wait for it) flash tats?



This creative idea first stemmed from KaiKini owner, Taryn, suggesting we take the Kauai-Made sparkly temporary tattoos (Tats4Now) that we sell on our website, and tatt-up a flask! So we experimented, and results were epic! Check out the video below.



Some tips and tricks for decorating: 

  • Once on the flask, the tattoos REALLY stick and are durable, so make sure the layout is what you want before applying! 
  • When applying, make sure cloth is really wet! Damp cloths will not activate tatt. 
  • Hold wet cloth on tattoo for 15 seconds or more, or until you see the paper slip off of the flask
  • DO NOT try and remove tattoo with alcohol or acetone based substances- it will take the paint off your flask! 
  • The Tats4Now can be removed by scrubbing it off (gently) and then washing area with warm water and soap. 
Pair it with the Aloha Set (triangle beaded top and okole bottoms) and you'll be beach ready and eco-chic all summer long! 




Tats4Now also donates 10% of sales to Kauai Food Bank!  @tats4now
