With its turquoise water, powdery sand, and casually elegant vibe, it’s easy to see how Harbour Island and Dunmore would be the perfect spot for India Hicks and her family to realize their inspired vision of island living.
One of the first things that one notices on Harbour Island is the fact that most local travel is done on foot or by cart. This really slows the pace, giving one a heightened sense of the environment, and it adds a particularly social element to one’s comings and goings as well, creating an ease to social exchange that is virtually extinct where many of us come from! As Hicks puts it, Harbour Island is “the epitome of barefoot chic.”
And pleasures are reassuringly simple on the island - for instance, one evening after enjoying a scrumptious meal with a small and well selected gathering chez Hicks we were greeted by a tropical storm which quite promptly put the electricity out - in a blink, India whisked us to the drawing room for a lively game of charades - I must say I was having more fun than I’d had in a long time. Remember those days before we buried our lives in our blackberries and flat screen TVs? We at WIJW do, and it took us an evening like this one to remind us how nice it is to connect in such a natural way.
Obviously we owe a great deal of gratitude to Harbour Island and the effortlessly graceful India Hicks for a little glimpse of the way things could, can, and should be!
Saying our farewells, I’m wearing a white cotton voile safari shirt by Gucci, white cotton shorts by Mario Matteo from Behaviour NYC, lemon yellow ribbon belt by Club Monaco, my fragrance is Citrus Bigarrade by Creed.
Hey Jamie,
You look so comfortable and chic here, reminding me of when I first met you here in Florida, at the cottage of Albert Hadley. I think it’s hilarious that you went right over my head the whole time I was with you here… But barefoot chic is definitely a good look for you…although I do miss the Louboutin sandals, but I don’t miss the sunglasses, since I adore seeing your handsome eyes ! Harbour Island is on my list now, thanks to you and India.

You look great James, you´ve got an amazing outfit! I am sure you spent a wonderful time there!
Ich war mehrmals auf Inseln, man kann dort viele Sachen machen auch wenn es kein Internet gibt, da hast Du Recht mein Lieber…….ich würde so gerne Ferien machen, bei uns ist es im Moment eiskalt!
Du siehst sehr gut aus wie immer!
Alles Liebe

Charada, qué divertido! Es una buena forma de pasar el rato lo recuerdo bien! me imagino que lo debes haber pasado de película, en una isla con íntimas reuniones, un ambiente maravilloso, el aire, las palmeras, todo me recuerda a una película…….
You look too elegant, even if you are barefoot…
Hugs,
Tom
Lieber James,

James Darling,
I can imagine myself having a nice time at the beach with my cats the same way I do it at home but I am sure Bahamas is much more beautiful…
