Island Chic

India Hicks, above, has a newly launched lifestyle brand consisting of well-crafted gifts, fragrances and accessories.While at the party previewing her new line, I bought several products for myself and to use as hostess gifts. Tiffany Wigbels (pictured with me below) is one of India’s Style Ambassadors. Contact Tiffany to view all India’s products and for information.

Both the clutch and scarf are part of India's new collection.

The beetle is a welcome guest in Bahamian homes and is thought to bring good luck. You will find the beetle prevalent throughout India's collection.

The scarves above, can be worn as an evening shawl, an accessory to liven up blue jeans and a white t.shirt, or as a sarong at the beach. How cute would the army green or black one look with a black bikini or one piece bathing suit?

The lotions, hand soaps and perfumes, come in fragrances such as Black Hibiscus, Wild Spider Lily and English Rose. With an intoxicating fragrance of roses and peonies, Wild Roses was my favorite.

Tassels on the Carmen Clutch above are removable for a different look. Clutch is available in army green, black, stone and wine. Good luck beetles line the inside.

India's 3rd book was published this past spring.

India addressing the crowd. I love her accent!

India was born in England. Her father was famous interior designer David Hicks. Her mother is Pamela Hicks, daughter to Earl & Countess Mountbatten of Burma. India currently lives on Harbour Island with David Flint Wood and their 5 children.

A Rosy Outlook

It's the quintessential summer dress that I love. It is an Etro runway piece that I bought a few weeks ago on sale! The dress appeals to my girly side, and the light as air- chiffon silk, feels like wearing nothing at all on these super hot days.

Exotic and Wild

Boars Tusk and Pave Diamond Pendant

If you know me, you understand I have a jewelry obsession. It is right up there with shoes, bags and well everything pertaining to fashion. I discovered S. Carter Designs about 3 years ago and have yet to find a piece that did not absolutely floor me! When I started the blog, I knew one of my posts had to be about S. Carter Designs.

Pave Diamond Deer Head with Elk Tips, Tahitian Pearls, and Diamond Accents

S. Carter Designs showcases the designs of Sarah Carter Hovis Olsen and Sally Carter Evans Hovis. Their creations are inspired by their passion for all things wild and exotic in nature. From alligator teeth to snake vertebrate, their designs incorporate truly unique elements. The use of diamonds and 14k gold to embellish their exceptional handmade pieces presents a style of dramatic, rugged elegance. Each piece is handcrafted and a genuine work of art.

What's White Now

A perfect white dress is a summer essential and perfect to slip on during the hottest of days. This white dress from Scoop NYC, is by far one of the most comfortable dresses in my closet right now. I can take this look to lunch or dinner. I love an all white, monochromatic outfit with nude shoes = very classic.

Chunky gold jewelry creates an interesting contrast with the all white outfit.

Brand Du Jour

They're Back!

What goes around comes around:

Embraced by the fashion industry, Levi's are becoming the "it" brand for denim once again. My last pair, until recently, was in college. When I finally wore a hole in the knee, I patched it with paisley chintz fabric. That was 1986, today I bought my Levi's from Net a Porter and would not think of patching the distressed hole.
