A Hec of a Sexy Week in the US Virgin Islands…

But I’m back. Drats. Sorry for being out of sight for the past two weeks! Without notice, I hopped on a plane and went to St. Croix to attend their 11th annual Food & Wine Experience! Talk about sexy *ish, super delish food and the most laid back attire anyone could wear.

Unfortunately, I’ve not figured out how to pack for 6 day beach trips where the agenda requires nothing other than eating, drinking, sailing and eating some more. I’d like to think I can bring my normal size 4 clothes, but somehow I’m experimenting with packing bigger clothes just to give room for the expanding my belly and legs will do from all the gluttony.

So, I’m back and having to regroup, unpack (b/c I was impractical enough to take 9 bags, 9 shoes, 5 hats all of which I wore, 10 rings, 6 necklaces, 8 earrings, and the immeasurable list goes on), make sense of my notes and make follow up calls.

Why was I there? Well, for my newcomers and friends, I’m a full-time private chef and food and travel writer (the bill-payers); so I was invited to hit the island and cover all its goodness. All that means is that the party is over and it’s time to spend this week writing story, after story after story. And processing at least 100 images of 900 images.

These are a few shots from my trip. I’ll be doing full journalistic and blog-appropriate recaps on Flanboyant Eats, my food blog and in my column in Latina Magazine.  I’ll let you know when they’re up so you can check it out! And I did some awesome boutique shopping and perusing on the island which I’ll share with you lovelies later this week. I think you’ll fall in love with the Virgin Islands, if you’ve not been!

Thanks for stopping by after being absent so long. But, great, great fashion news and street looks on Wed–the other reason I was absent for so long!

Smooches!
