INITIAL EXCITEMENT

I am beyond excited to share with you the new Legacy Letters from India Hicks. Some of you may remember India designed a collection of these prior to launching her own extraordinary company. On my numerous stops in to The Sugar Mill over the years I always coveted them but for some reason never up and bought one. A while back she told me they were going away so she could rebrand, rebuild and reboot not only the letters, but an entire lifestyle brand.  And while I was most excited to see what she was going to do next, I was sad. Shoulda coulda woulda kind of sad. I have been waiting... 

I am about to send you to a lovely video that will give you insight as to why these initials are such an integral and important part of India's life. Get to know India a little more and listen to her describe her fathers's style and the imprint he left on not only his family but the world of interior design. Meet her unforgettable mother Lady Pamela who has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen.  This is their legacy. I am thrilled India is sharing it with us.

MY WEAKNESS IS ON SALE

Suffice it to say that I have a healthy collection beach cover ups.  I live in Florida and chase 2 smalls around various pools and Bahamian beaches for a greater part of the year. They are such an easy throw-it-on-look-half-decent way to go. Not to mention they cover up all the shaky bits. There is a reason its called a cover up.

Here is me in my most beloved spot on the planet. And if you know me you can attest that I pretty much have been living in these for about 6 summers in a row. Boring? Perhaps to some. No shame. I'm going to buy another one (or two). Not only because they are on sale at shopbop with the code GOBIG17 (for orders over $200) but because you know, necessity.

These are my go-to favs. Shopbop is the way to go, and the sale is on now through March 4th. 

L to R:

 1  /  2  /  3  /  4 

To hit the dinner circuit after the beach, throw on some of my other favorites from my sweet friend India Hicks and you are ready for a night out. With or without shoes. 

L to R:

1  /  2 bracelet & earrings   /  3

BACK IN THE SADDLE

Well hello old friend!  So nice to see you.  I have taken a nice long break from blogging to recharge and experience life without being attached to my computer. It feels good to be back with a fresh perspective. 

The last little while has been a whirlwind filled with new experiences and old friends. Our event last week at Canvas Interiors was an intersection of all of those things. 

We hosted the ever delightful India Hicks and Linda Griffin of The Sugar Mill. They brought gorgeous fall fashion to Canvas Interiors and of course we added the latest from the India Hicks lifestyle collection to the mix. 

An old high school friend of Mr. K's who conveniently owns a distillery, designed a specialty welcome drink called 'The Sugar Mill' with their Dog Island Rum. How great is that? Serving two locals from the Bahamas a local Florida rum.

The clothes were beautiful, the IH collection was a hit and I had the most wonderful time being in the middle of all that goodness.

It was one of those nights that truly fills me with gratitude and happiness. Gratitude for the wonderful friends in our life and happiness that we get to celebrate with them.  

The Sugar Mill cocktail: 

2 sprigs mint

1 part Dog Island Silver Rum

1 splash Elderflower liqueur

1 part apple juice

1 part tonic

Serve over ice w a fancy straw.
