How perfect would this be hanging next to your umbrella stand in the mud room.

In the event of rain pop open this double canopy, pink Swarovski clad handle, handmade fuchsia lotus flower number.

Leotine Linens

Monday mornings are always a big push and today is no exception due to a weekend filled with bbq's, pirate parties, & fun in the sun here in Antigua.

Getting a good night's rest is key to a successful workday and a stable beauty regime.  Splurging on high quality bed linens is a must.  How luxe are these classic linens from Leotine Linens?  

Fetching monograms, right? 

My Perfect Sunday | Antigua

This week we are on the gorgeous island of Antigua, West Indies.  With a plethora of enticing beaches, restaurants for every palette, and activities for everyone Antigua is a perfect destination for all.  

On my perfect Sunday I will wake up reasonably early and start with a fresh fruit smoothie before walking over the hill for a morning swim at Pigeon Beach.  Next I will wonder back to Falmouth Harbour Marina to meet the mister before heading out for an early brunch.  Depending on our mood we will either stay local and walk over to Cloggy's at the Antigua Yacht Club or make the drive to Brown's Bay to dine at Harmony Hall.

After our meal we will round up some friends and take the tender over to the uninhabited Green Island spending the day snorkeling, kite surfing, and relaxing on the white sand beaches.  

Upon completing our day in the sun we will head high into the hills above English Harbor to the famed Shirley Heights.  We will enjoy a traditional Caribbean barbecue to the sounds of the local steel band.  After dinner we will wonder over to the edge of the hill to watch as the sun sets over all the amazing yachts in the harbor while enjoying the live reggae band.  

This week we will be departing Antigua to head North.  I am not sure where we will be next Sunday so stay tuned!!

The pink mohair headboard is winner

Designer Spotlight | Mary McDonald

LA based interior designer Mary McDonald is truly fabulous.  Her incredible use of color, pattern and texture is clean and inviting.  I could easily move right in to one of these perfect rooms.  

Has anyone picked up Mary's book Interiors :The Allure of Style?
