dress code

To be considered a true north shore girl of Maui there's a few essential wardrobe pieces that one must wear to be following the "dress code" and one of the most important pieces is a puka shell bangle. Worn either to one of your favorite beaches or dancing with the girls it's a timeless choice. A puka shell (meaning hole in Hawaiian) is a shell found on the beaches here that have just that, a hole in the center...perfect for wearing on a gold or silver bangle. Many claim to have originated the puka bangle but I'm not sure if we'll ever know who truly is the genius behind this simple yet classy trend. If you happen to see a beautiful girl with beach tousled hair donning a puka bangle chances are shes from the north shore of Maui.
