Yearly Archives: 2013

We spent most of our time on the beach or taking a dip in our plunge pool, but we did take a break from relaxing by playing a little croquet. The suite was beautiful and we hated to leave!

Once again, we had a wonderful time in Anguilla. Every flowering plant was bursting with the color only Mother Nature can provide. We arrived in Anguilla, after landing in Saint Maarten where we were met by the hotel representatives, and headed straight for the “Fun Time” launch to take the 25 minute ride over to the island. What we love about Anguilla is there are no big airports, only small private jets land there, and there is no big harbor for the cruise ships to dock……so the island is very quiet and laid back. We had a magnificent villa with a living room, dining room, full kitchen, three terraces, a huge bedroom and bathroom and a wonderful pool…………it was paradise…….I also had my own golf cart to tool around the property………..driving on the left is tricky!………..Cap Juluca is HEAVEN on earth!

Tomorrow, we leave on our trip to our piece of PARADISE in the Caribbean……and we can hardly wait to put our toes in that clear, warm aqua blue water! Jac has taken a boat load of Feather Jerseys, and one of her favorite pieces is the FEATHER JERSEY HOODED Tunic, A. It’s floaty and cool and so much more fun and LIGHT WEIGHT than a zip front hoodie!! I have limited her to one color, but maybe two. Don’t say poor Jac she has enough different outfits for every day and  NIGHT we are there…..and then some. She’s planning on wearing it with her white cotton leggings, and gold sandals….she ordered two pairs of leggings  in white from QVC before they sold out………the reviews on this piece have been terrific and the colors are so summer time and fresh. I know many of you have now become Feather Jersey lovers and many pieces are starting to disappear in sizes and colors…………..if you haven’t tried it….I suggest you do before they are gone.

The two additional colors in the FJ hooded Tunic are the AQUA and the SMOKE GREY, which seems to be becoming everyone’s favorite color in many of the pieces. The AQUA is exactly the color of the Caribbean….how can you not love that color………………..when ever I see this color it transports me to the beach………………..The SMOKE is a wonderful MYSTERIOUS color, and will be a great transition color into fall, but for right now it will look fabulous with WHITE and SILVER…..very modern……………………………………………………

During this past trip to QVC, I saw so many of the models, running around back stage, were wearing maxi skirts and sandals or flip flops and they looked great. For me, what makes a “Summer” maxi skirt successful is the fact that it is light weight and has wonderful liquid movement. I am happy to say my MAXI in the Feather Jersey, A , fills the bill. You can see in the photos above how the skirt falls and drapes, and yet lays smoothly over the hips……this skirt is half lined……has a full elastic waist and comes in a petite length too……… When Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec comes along it’s going to look great with boots and some of my new SILK/CASHMERE sweaters……………….by the way………….the name should be decided soon. The lawyers are checking to see what names have already been registered…..or not…………………..
