Aloha!

So I've landed in Hawaii for a much-needed stretch of sunning, lazing around, eating, cooking, reading, and not much else. I figured this would be exactly the thing to get me motivated to face a rapidly encroaching New York fashion week. Plus, my family was about to disown me if I didn't get a visit in soon, so.....here I am. I arrived late Friday night, and since then, I've spent 10+ hours on the beach, finished The Marriage Plot, by Jeffrey Eugenides, eaten my body's weight in food (home-cooked and from favorite old local restaurants), taken a yoga class that just about did me in completely, and completed 4-mile sunrise runs every morning (thanks to my good friend, jet lag). I swear, if I just up and moved here, I'd probably add 15 years onto my life. Alas, I'm in love with New York. Maybe in another lifetime. xo

Finally, finally finished it. Hated it at first, but by the end, I was hooked.

Best sunscreen ever--it's for the face but I slather it on everywhere.

Waimalu Chop Suey--a total hole-in-the-wall Chinese place that has the best food.
