Islands In The Sun

So roughly somewhere in the Caribbean, maybe even in the Maldives... is where my imagination has escaped to this summer morning. Forget work, millinery, errands, fashion, odds and ends... I want to be witness to this gorgeous azure view wearing this island get up and finding a gigantic shell!...

...reading a good book while slathered in SPF 70 and relaxing under a breezy striped umbrella....

...walking the resort plank towards a turquoise heaven of water bungalows...

....swimming in crystal waters...

...aaaaaahhhhhh.......
