"Okay, so I may have thought I&amp;#x27;d be taking a break from all things fashion on my honeymoon, but as you dolls know, style never rests...and there were some seriously stylish highlights from my honeymoon I wanted to share with you! The trip kicked off with a Cathay Pacific flight from New York, where I immediately felt at home courtesy of a pair of super-cozy Shanghai Tang pajamas and matching slippers I was given right before takeoff, along with a glass of champagne. A girl could get used to this... We spent one quick night in Bangkok and then were off to Koh Phi Phi, a tiny island on Thailand&amp;#x27;s southwest coast where I proceeded to go without shoes--not even flip flops!--for six straight days. Every bar and restaurant was within walking distance and on the beach, and the only way to leave was via a longtail taxi boat, which hardly required proper footwear. We were completely and utterly blissed out...my highlight of that portion of the vacation? Feeding a monkey a banana on &amp;quot;Monkey Beach&amp;quot; at Yongkasem Bay: After a few more days of cocktails and sunsets and more R&amp;amp;R than I&amp;#x27;ve had in the past year in New York combined, we headed further north to Chiang Rai, one of the most beautiful places I&amp;#x27;ve ever been... We took a Thai cooking class (Tom Yum soup is my new specialty!) and got traditional Thai massages but by far the coolest thing we did there (or um, maybe ever in my life!), was ride elephants: You gals know I&amp;#x27;m a huge fan of any endeavor that requires a new outfit (those skirts are 50% of the reason I&amp;#x27;m taking up tennis this spring!), and when you ride an elephant, you get to wear mahout pants! Mahout is the traditional word for someone who rides and trains elephants, and we got to spend a full day as &amp;quot;student mahouts&amp;quot; in these natty denim numbers: They protect your legs against the elephants&amp;#x27; rough skin, and they&amp;#x27;re sturdy enough to hold up to a little bath in the Mekong River: As Eric said, the entire experience was &amp;quot;cooler than any roller coaster I&amp;#x27;ve ever been on.&amp;quot; Insane, right? Our final stop was a weekend in Hong Kong... ...where we did a serious amount of shopping! It&amp;#x27;s the best place to have custom clothes made--we had a recommendation from a friend of an amazing tailor who will make pretty much anything to your specifications, in 24 hours, for less than the price of an off-the-rack garment stateside. I&amp;#x27;ve been lusting after the perfect white pantsuit for months now, so I grabbed the opportunity. We went to New Prince Fashion on Kowloon, where their showroom is stocked with just about every fabric you can imagine, and had our measurements taken: We headed out for lunch, a foot massage, and a little more shopping, and came back a few hours later for our fitting: The very next afternoon, I had the suit of my dreams (as did Eric, and the combined price was nowhere near what we would have paid for one of them here!), and we were off on a plane back to New York (and reality)... There you have it, gals! It was the trip of a lifetime, and I&amp;#x27;m glad I got to share a little glimpse of it with you! What do you think?
