Je Suis Andrea: Yes, You Should Drink the Water

Jimmy Buffet got it right when he wrote his famous song "cheeseburger in paradise" after Le Select in St. Barths. Something about the island is magical and you can't explain it, you just have to experience it.

This year was definitely a hell of a time! To start off we had 4 parties to attend in one night, including a book signing at Click Gallery by Patrick Demarchelier and Russell Simmons' party at Eden Rock, to which we had an invite (thanks Douglas!)

The weather was actually kind of crazy in SBH this year. There was some hurricane or terrible storm that caused major swells in the ocean, forcing all yachts out of the docks in Gustavia. Gustavia flooded, waves crashed into VIP Room and Amanda's Chloe shoes were in turn ruined! (Kevin's loafers have also not fit the same since!)

"Can I have 5 Caribs please? Sure, to stay or to go? TO GO!"
