We're home!!!

It's been about 24 hours since we landed in the British Virgin Islands .  So far, I'm liking our new home .

My husband is working for a company headquartered here and they helped him find a villa a few weeks ago.  It has the most amazing view of the Sir Francis Drake Channel.  I'll have to snap a few photos.  The wrap around screened in porch allows for the trade winds to sweep through the house, so much so that paperweights are a must!

Our 1,300 lbs of belongings are still in customs.  I can't wait to get my hands on some of the items I brought to adorn the walls around here.  This place most definitely needs a woman's touch.  There will be three women here before too long.

My mom and sister are coming on Sunday, along with my dad.  A Caribbean Christmas it will be!

My sister is actually bringing our miniature schnauzer Milly with her.  We couldn't bring her on Monday, because her paperwork wasn't finalized.  I can't wait to have her here and see her reaction to the new landscape.

During our first day here, we did a few very important things, including opening a bank account, buying a car, and for me - getting a pedicure!  That's right, this Tennessee girl didn't have time to get one before she left!

I wanted to wear my Stephen Bonnanos today, and needed a matching nail polish.  I went with OPI's "I only drink Champagne."  Love that!

My lady at the spa was nice - her name was Breezy.  That's right.  Breezy.  I quickly got past that and was able to ask her a lot of questions about who I should get to cut my hair, where to grocery shop, etc...All in all, it was a lovely way to spend my time while Mr. SDP was at the bank.

Let the BVI adventure begin!

If Tory Burch and Lilly Pulitzer procreated...

Okay, I realize that's impossible, but if they were to come together and beget some type of offspring, who would it be?

I think her name would be Tracy Negoshian. 

She's a beginner, but I see some potential.  All of her tunics and dresses have a small credit card size pocket hidden on the right side, usually tucked under the arm at the rib cage - just perfect for a credit card, ID and maybe a lip gloss.

As she grows, hopefully her fabrics will improve and she will drop the ridiculous jewelry line.  (It's like a chintzy version of Franchesca's.)  I've got to give it to this girl - she started out with obvious color combinations that she knew would sell:  SEC football teams. 

Go to any SEC tailgate, I don't care if you're outside of the O'Connell Center in Gainesville, on top of G10 in Knoxville, or in the Grove in Oxford, you will hear one universal complaint from fashionable football fans:  Finding stylish clothes in a girl's favorite SEC team colors is more difficult than getting Mariah Carey zipped into a black mini dress!  Except of course for the Georgia Dawgs, those bitches I mean sweet Georgia peaches rock red and black like it's their job.

Happy Shopping!  Oh, and I almost forgot - the aqua and coral Rachel dress will be making an appearance on the SDP Christmas card this year.  What is more BVI than that?
