accessories at snazzy hotel( haev never done snazzy) and so on

dh says th women will have big hari and square finger nails.

aslo how cold in the evnings

Where in the States are you from?

What about the Calypso or Shirley bag?

btw, you will also need some mosquito repellent.

OI COD - Do you want me to make you the turquoise bangle ??????
I couldn't work out if you said yes or no before ???

The shirly bag would work, You don't want any sort of leather on it, the stitching would give it away

cod i have this in a 12

you're welcome to borrow it if you like

currently would leave a good foot of flesh uncovered if i tried to wear it

but mine is black/cream, not navy/cream

thing is, princess, it's not really a holiday. more an extended work party .

peteywete did you see my weather link? it says bermuda climate is different to rest of carib (have only vaguest idea of where the caribbean is anyway but may help you)

what about that nice principles dress demure for yanks or this tres lovely

whizz yes

brb

OK - will get cracking.....can do earrings too ??

Caribbean is always hot. I think all this talk of coats v odd. Liz Hurley always does white and turquoise for hols, so think as you say, shorts and tops, swimming things, kaftan thing plus frock plus evening dress(es)should cover it.
I'd not wear shorts at all, but just lots of frocks but if I had the legs for it would definitely wear shorts. And I'd get a really good spray tan before I went.

Do a google search on India Hicks.

She's English, and is a former model who would be a good source of ideas. There are always fashion spreads on her, her husband/children and their glam Caribbean existence. She has a clothing line, books, toiletries, linens, a hotel, etc and all of it is presented to the Yanks as effortless beach chic with a European flair.

second the spray tan and maybe lash and brow tint so that you can swim etc and still look fab India Hicks always looks amazing

I grew up in Florida and thats where my family but I have lived in NY, NC, TX, CAL, GA. Moved around a bit. Have lived in the UK for almost 8 years now 2 of which were in Camberley and now Belfast

"god cant i do obviously costume jewllery"

I was persuaded by the JL personal shopper to buy a necklace and matching earrings of faux over-sized pearls. They are smart, flattering but not ostentatious and very English.

BTW it was me not Beety who was alluding to stylish aping (or would that be something Helena Bonham Carter would do?).

"Get a bleaching kit for your teeth. The appearance of your teeth will be very important." Palumpabottom is right on this, my otherwise very sane boss was quite concerned about the promotion potential of one of my colleagues who has dreadful teeth. Anyway, subtle bleaching takes years off your age.

Frocks would also be good as Americans are very trousery, so dresses would be a pleasant English eccentricity.

White trousers and a coloured kaftan over a vest is really eurochic. the sort of thing India Hicks/Princess Marie Chantal/Liz Hurley etc wear all the time. With fab coloured sandals, ideally.

great
sorry to misquote you IM

teeht very good luckily
freakily godo so dont need belaching - are white and even - genetics
loev all these ideas alhoa IM etc and pp
will book appts at health place fro pedicrue spray tan
eyebrows

it goes dark at 6.30 pm the whole year round, warmish in the evenings, mind you it was earlier in the year so may be tres warm

Won't give you any style advice because 1, I'm older and 2, I haven't got a clue - wore lots of linen myself!

If you can find sarongs that are generous with the fabric they can look great. I have 2 that wrap around almost twice (to the ankle) and look good with a decent tshirt or vest and beads for lunches in nice restaurants straight from the beach.

which island btw?

beware your rear in shorts - however pert!

gorge if you could find something like this
