While each species has its own notable feature such as its color of the petals and fruit, the shrub collectively is known for its petals, which grow as half of a flower. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe reason why naupaka grows this way is explained by the legend of Princess Naupaka and her lover, Kauʻi. In ancient times, royalty and commoners were forbidden from being together, so Naupaka and Kauʻi were separated from each other; Naupaka was forced to live in the mountains and Kauʻi by the ocean.

This way, if two naupaka flowers were placed together, a full flower would form. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-08-04T10:19:30-10:00","sort_order":"created-desc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"naupaka"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"naupaka"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2022-10-27T04:47:25-10:00","alt":null,"width":364,"height":404,"src":"\/\/www.lahaoledesigns.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Naupaka.png?v=1666882046"}},{"id":279057825946,"handle":"new","title":"New","updated_at":"2024-04-28T11:00:59-10:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2021-10-21T19:25:09-10:00","sort_order":"created-desc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"new"}],"published_scope":"global"}]
So love the look of this piece. It’s so soft and the body flows around me really well, but the sleeves are pretty tight. I don’t have thick arms, so if you are a girl that does, this may not be for you. That said, the piece is great for dressing up or down an outfit. I’m 5’3” and 144lbs, 36C. I wear a small to medium most tops. I purchased a large.
I can’t tell you how much I love this pant. The material is a little stiff, giving it structure, which makes it perfect for a spring/summer /mild weather piece to wear to a mid-day ballet performance, brunch or summer dinner party, date night…really anything that you want to wear something that will give you a smile, allow you to be comfortable and still looks great. Also, the waist band is tall enough that it keeps its structure, and not confining. And I love the pocket depth. This is such a cute piece.
