In this economy, it may seem frivolous to imagine a decadent Island vacation. 
But life is short and couldn't we all use a little island luxury right now? If your budget won't accomodate it at least you can take a mental vacation for a few minutes and DREAM of island breezes and warm sand between your toes. 
While dreaming of Island vacationing you might as well choose the best and no one does it on a more luxurious scale than Aman Resorts. 
Aman has first class resorts all over the world, many of which feature Island and beach life. A visit to any of their resorts is life changing. 
It is a reaffirming gift to your senses about how wonderful life on this planet truly is. The pictures shown are of just some of Aman's famous resorts, the amazing Amanpulo on a private island in the Philippines.

Every Monday morning I love to look at one of my favorite blogs French Essence, 
written by Vicki Archer. She lives in the South of France part-time, London the rest. Every Monday she writes about what she did over the weekend, like antiquing in Provence or spending the weekend in Venice, Italy with her daughter!!! LOVED THAT! 
rode along the ocean path to the farmer's market...went shopping...
met a friend for lunch at the local Mexican watering can'...had a corn tamale and an ice cold beer!! 
(it was soooo good- I NEVER DO THAT!) 
Then I laid on the warm sand and listened to the ocean... 
What a great day!!!
It was a four poster twin bamboo bed that served as a large exotic sofa during the day, and at night my bed. It was draped in mosquito netting that I purchased for 79 cents a yard.. I had begun my own little island lifestyle in Beverly Hills for mere pennies!!!
and find one style
color/type of beads you like,
such as all shell beads, 
or all types of pearls, 
or all wood beads, 
or a color, 
such as turquoise/blue beads, etc etc 
Buy a few strands (not expensive at all) and creatively put them in a tall bowl (like the one I have from Africa)
or a vintage French or Moroccan bowl...it does not have to be expensive, just simple and creative!
Voila! Instant Decor!
Sometime ago in the 1960's, my grandmother had a home on Harbour Island, in the Bahamas...known for its pink sandy beaches.
The island is small less than 2 square miles. As a child I couldn't understand how there could be ocean in front of me and ocean behind me. 
The "island" concept evaded me at the age of 5, but has since grown to a life long love affair. 
Harbor Island is home to India Hicks author of Island Beauty.
When I saw this bar cart made of bamboo, I thought of my grandmother making cocktails at sunset, and the beauty of Harbour Island. 
This wonderful cart brought back memories of deep fried conch while enjoying warm subtle breezes and the gentle sounds of the ocean.
