It was a misty morning here in NYC, but clearly these images are not from here.
I temporarily misplaced the drive I used to store my newest pics, but instead was happy to find these…
…from another wonderful misty morning, on the Windward side of Oahu.
I miss digging my toes into that cool sand.
And waking up to the sound of nothing but waves crashing on the beach. Total bliss.
So I took a little break from blogging. Not because I’ve been “crazy busy” or traveling or anything. I just felt like doing other things. Like staying in bed for a whole day reading books, and taking long walks in the sun. Feeding the soul.
On a random tangent, I’m suddenly feeling like bootcut jeans with high-heeled boots are totally right again.

While in Baltimore a few weeks ago, I went to check out the American Visionary Art Museum.
Anything can be art, it’s all in the eye of the beholder, right?
“Visionary art as defined for the purposes of the American Visionary Art Museum refers to art produced by self-taught individuals, usually without formal training, whose works arise from an innate personal vision that revels foremost in the creative act itself.”
In other words, things created by visionaries, geniuses, amateurs and random crazies, in most cases never intended to be art.
Which makes it all the more interesting. Plus points for a great restaurant on the top floor.
The Visionary Art Museum is located at the base of historic Federal Hill, adjacent to downtown Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, and is open 10:00am – 6:00pm, Tuesday – Sunday.
My usual uniform—finest New York black. It’s such a cliché, but I just can’t help it.
If spring ever comes, I promise to wear happy colors every day.

I love bracelets and tend to pile them on without abandon. Two of my current favorites aren’t just pretty to look at, they also carry a powerful message. The Peace Cord bracelet is hand woven in Afghanistan, using authentic military materials, and the peaceBOMB bracelet is made in Laos, using melted fragments of scrap metal from bombs. By wearing these, we can protest war while helping people in war-torn areas of the world earn a living wage.
