Please tell me what you think about it when you do wear it... :) I like her Island Living scents but I'm not sure about Island Night just yet; it may have not suited-me when I sprayed it on at a store, hmm. I am such a Floris fan that I don't know what I'll do when my various bottles of it, in different scents of English garden flowers, run out. I purchased some while in England with my late mother years ago and then bought-out what Saks Fifth Ave had of it when that store changed into an "Off Fifth" out on HHI. <br /><br />Best to you, LachlanLachlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701400953567447964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855604316809651223.post-28178634539531819732011-01-11T17:26:24.021-08:002011-01-11T17:26:24.021-08:00My husband gave me her perfume and I really haven&...My husband gave me her perfume and I really haven't worn it...

I love both the London, etc various projects she's done and definitely this aesthetic of island-style she'd enacted for her family and for this book, other projects. <br /><br />Once when I needed a get-away break, I rented a nearby beach condo for a few weeks and stayed out there all by myself...pure biss! It was styled much like Hicks' book with a bit of Bali-inspiration added in from the owner's travels and what a wonderful, simple yet still elegant retreat it was.....<br /><br />This winter, I'm thinking sunny-tropical quite a bit eh? But tomorrow I'm going to try to get out and actually drive my car, do an errand and such so hopefully this house-bound recovery's at its end, wheh.<br /><br />Best, LachlanLachlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701400953567447964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855604316809651223.post-61160197573252745142011-01-11T03:50:43.666-08:002011-01-11T03:50:43.666-08:00India Hicks has a tremendous amount of style, a re...India Hicks has a tremendous amount of style, a real tastemaker. Thanks for featuring her, she is not often in the mainstream of "the designer brigade" but as you said so well, is a low key example of classic elegance.<br />Thanks.......have a great day.The enchanted homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417949320717832732noreply@blogger.com
