Finding reprieve from the chaos going on elsewhere as I chill here on Maui. Escaped New York just in time to miss hurricane Sandy and subsequent flooding and fires. I had the best time there last week, and feel immensely grateful that I got to enjoy NYC before the destruction.

Today we just loved taking in the views from this “secret” beach just beyond the Four Seasons hotel in Wailea. If only everyday could be this pleasant and simple.

Here are my new Havianas i scored at the Guava Shop on Oahu. With just a touch of bling, like a simple diamond stud, to satisfy my inner princess desires.

More awesome NYC moments to be shared with you just as soon as I secure some wifi and upload all my photos.

My heart is with you NY!
