The Pursuit of Style

Just a few things that I happen to think are pretty great…

I picked up this cashmere sweatshirt on super sale and it’s just as heavenly as a cashmere sweatshirt sounds. On the same shopping trip I succumbed to the printed denim trend and bought these floral skimmer jeans. The pattern is just barely there so I don’t feel quite as bold wearing them.

Essie’s ‘Bikini So Teeny’ is going to be on my nails all spring–so dangerous convenient that you can buy Essie at CVS now! I’ve been wearing these hexagon earrings from Vivid by Esther’s etsy shop on repeat. They’re simple but chic and go with everything. I’m already trying to decide what color to buy next.

My admiration for India Hicks is well documented on this blog and lately I’ve been re-visiting her book Island Life for inspiration. I would love to stay here someday. When I was uploading these photos from my camera, I noticed the first two photos shared the exact same color palette as these potted plants I spotted on in the neighborhood a few weeks ago. I guess life imitates nature?

ISLAND LIVING ENVY

A few weeks back I babysat for an adorable family with two of the cutest little boys. While I was sitting sentinel outside of their bedrooms I picked up a copy of India Hicks’ Island Life: Inspirational Interiors from the bookshelf.
When I opened to the first page I squealed with excitment when I saw that India herself had inscribed a note and signed the copy! Apparently the couple had stayed at India’s property The Guest House at Hibiscus Hill. Completely jealous right?!
India really has lived a charmed life, daughter of legendary designer David Hicks, granddaughter of the last Viceroy of India, former Ralph Lauren model, bridesmaid to Princess Diana and now island goddess. That’s quite a pedigree isn’t it? I am completely mesmerized by her and I’m sure you can see why in the following photos…

I’m adding The Guest House at Hibiscus Hill to my ever growing list of must-see destinations. Fingers crossed!
