James Andrew, Bermuda
Just back from a brilliant long weekend in Bermuda.
My dear friend, bon vivant, entrepreneur extraordinaire Raj Tolaram has settled back in Bermuda, and as you might imagine an invitation to weekend there elicited an enthusiastic and immediate affirmative from yours truly.
First stop, The Coral Beach Club! Once the bastion of uber wasp chic, today I would hardly give it a “top drawer” rating, but there is still something wonderfully nostalgic about it and perhaps the members can take note of the continued success of the Lyford Cay Club as a vital and elegant retreat for global taste makers.
While I have an undeniable appreciation for the past, I do recognize the role one can have in creating the present! Instead of mourning the loss of what once was, I always try to bring my own brand of chic wherever I go. In this way, one can elevate one’s experience of a place, while raising the bar for those that surround us. Of course its an effortless endeavor when one has a host as sophisticated and like minded as Tolaram! Needless to say, I was treated to the very best of Bermuda!
At the Coral Beach Blub dining terrace I’m sporting a Gucci safari style shirt in palest pink cotton, white cotton sateen flared leg pants and aviator style sunglasses, Tom Ford pale sand suede loafers, white rope belt by Orlebar Brown, vintage Rolex watch and my fragrance is Creed Royal Water.
