If you need to see all the spring trends to absorb them, Ala Moana Center will deliver a quick, fun overview during its annual “Shop a Le‘a” event this weekend. A pink carpet traversing the entire second-story mall level will be the mall’s longest runway ever, measuring nearly half a mile.
There will also be in-store events, shopping and dining offers. The highlights:
» Shop a Le‘a Pink Carpet Contest: Strut your stuff through Sunday and post it on Instagram or Twitter using @AlaMoanaCenter and #ShopaLea. Six posters will win $50 Ala Moana Center gift cards.
» Centerwide gift with purchase: Redeem $300 in Ala Moana Center store and restaurant receipts dated March 18 through 24 and receive a limited-edition fuchsia umbrella. Bring receipts to the Customer Service Center. Limit one umbrella per person, while supplies last.
