Kors' new products
Michael Kors, the designer and primary judge on Bravo's fashion competition "Project Runway," has advised contestants on use of inspiration and has transformed Hawaii's inspiration into three new products for Valentine's Day.
Island Michael Kors Hawaii eau de parfum ($60 for 1.7 ounces) is described by the designer as "a vacation in a bottle" reminiscent of a lush, tropical paradise.
The eau de parfum combines the exotic and sensual essences of tuberose, incense and spices, with a burst of citrus in pineapple, neroli and clementine accents. The scent is also available in a juicy orange lip gloss balm ($12). Look for both items at Sephora in February.
And for those planning ahead for Valentine's Day, the scent is available in a "With Love, Michael Kors" gift set ($40) of eau de parfum, eau de toilette and sheer interpretation that's equivalent to a light, sparkling citrus cocktail. The gift set will be available at select retailers in February.
Kors, who frequently travels to island destinations such as Capri and Phuket, is also a big fan of Hawaii, and shoppers can also find his clothing at the Michael Kors outlet at Waikele Premium Outlets.
Princesses, sign in
Kahala Mall will be holding a sign-up party for the Pretty Little Princess Pageant from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday at its Center Court.
The pageant is for girls between the ages of 6 months and 12 years. A limited number of applications are allowed per age division, and selection is on a first-come, first-served basis. Age divisions are as follows:

NFL at Ecosystems
