okay, so first order of business today...get me to this porch. it belongs to
india hicks, daughter of famed interior designer
david hicks and herself a model, entrepreneur,
bravo's top design host and true island living guru. included in her island empire, india has
several properties on harbour island and windermere island in the bahamas which are
rentable and gorgeous. she lives on harbour island full-time in a house called hibiscus hill with her husband and four children, including a daughter named domino.
oh and by the way, she's also written books on
island design and
island beauty, co-owns a
boutique and has created two cosmetics line with crabtree and evelyn called
india hicks island living and
india hicks island night. but that's it. other than that she's a bum.
anyway, i wanted to show you some pictures of her home which i think are just beautiful. so understated and lovely and authentic. her home looks tropical and island-style, for sure, but not in the overdone, overly colorful style you might find at an
all-inclusive resort. now don't get me wrong, i love that style too for a vacation, but if i were to
live on an island, this would be more my speed. how about you?
i think these photos are a good reminder that in any setting, the same truths apply - well-chosen pieces, eclectic style and seasonal and environmental elements make for beautiful design.
were you a fan of 9 by design on bravo last year? i was. i loved it and was so heartbroken when a second season wasn't ordered. luckily, the novogratz family will be back in an HGTV show soon (possibly this summer). here are some images of the house they lived in while the show was being shot, and i find them inspiring. nothing in the novogratz home is too perfect or precious - and with seven kids, that's probably wise.
tell me you wouldn't want to live in this miami penthouse.
i love the kardashians. i have no shame about it. i love them. especially khloe. we've talked about her perfect gunmetal mani. and you've probably seen her rings, like, without a kamera or binokulars because they're so kompletely huge and sparkly.
well now look at her home office. so glam, so luxe. give it to me. read about the details here.
do you think if i spelled my name with a K i kould get one just like it?

aren't these fish adorable? it was a folk art set that wisteria carried a while ago...i was saving them to share with you when the summer wasn't such a distant thought...but now wisteria doesn't have them anymore! should have seized the moment when i first found them all those snowy months ago. i guess we'll just have to look out for similarly handmade, happy pieces like them in salty beach towns this summer. i'm in!
is it winter? is it spring? aaaaahhhhh, it's like ping pong! well, it's the weekend, so who cares, right? what do you have planned?
doing anything for the oscars? how about baking some of these fun treats from bakerella? here's an oscar ballot if you want to lay down your bets...
doesn't this home look lovely? it looks like somewhere perfect for spending a long weekend reading, napping and having long talks. it's a little house on the family compound of one of the architects who designed this incredible house.
