Still dreaming of a beach vacation? I am. Some friends of mine were staying at Hotel Christopher last year when I was in St. Barth’s, so I dropped in to check it out. It is a little out of the way, but the island is so small that it really doesn’t matter. This hotel has [...]

grandmother and granddaughter and some of their beautiful pearls!
Ok ladies, here is the jewelry store that you need to visit in St. Barth’s. Remember I wrote about the South Sea pearls at Pacha Mama in Sayulita? Well, Bijoux de la Mer is the original store, started by the grandmother of the same family. Some of [...]
Nikki Beach – St. Barth’s
April 28, 2010
OK, I know I promised, but one more post on St. Barth’s now that I’ve downloaded my pics. Our friends Holly and Jacques, who are as in-the-know as any locals, took us and some other friends to Sunday lunch at Nikki Beach. All I can say is–get ready to live!–this is the party spot on [...]
L’Isola Ristorante – St. Barth’s
April 26, 2010
Well friends, unless you are coming here soon you are probably getting tired of the St. Barth’s posts! So after this recommendation I will lay off St. Barth’s for awhile. There are so many amazing restaurants but L’Isola was our favorite…delicious Italian right off the harbor. Just as a warning that we’ve heard that the restaurants [...]
Vanita Rosa
April 25, 2010
Vanita Rosa has always been one of my favorite brands carried at Calypso stores, but in St. Barth’s there is an entire Vanita Rosa store. These beautiful linen and lace pieces can often work as a top, coverup, or dress, which is of course perfect for island living (or visiting). Shop in St. Barth’s, Paris, [...]
Eden Rock “Rockstar House” – St. Barth’s
April 23, 2010
I just saw something so completely over the top that I have to put down my sunset cocktail for a minute to tell you about it. The Eden Rock, which is a small super luxurious hotel in St. Barth’s, has a newly created “Rockstar” house, which is pretty much the best party locale on the [...]
Poupette Clothing – For the Island, the Beach, and the Pool

Like so many things here in St. Barth’s, Poupette is a clothing brand and store that makes me want to live the island life full time. The whole store consists of beautiful essential flowy pieces that work as tops, dresses or coverups, and they have the perfect little beach shorts for throwing on over a [...]
Le Select – St. Barth’s – The inspiration for “Cheeseburger In Paradise”?
April 21, 2010
Last night I noticed a dive bar that was absolutely packed in the middle of Gustavia in super glam St. Barth’s. So tonight when I was back in Clic gallery window shopping, I asked the local working there what the deal was with the dive bar next door. ”It was the inspiration for Jimmy Buffet’s [...]
Maya’s To Go – St. Barth’s
April 21, 2010
Maya’s To Go is a tiny little place in St. Jean recommended to us by our local guide for delicious fresh food to go or catering. We stopped by for breakfast pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt parfaits and egg sandwiches, all of which were perfect and far better than anything else we’ve experienced so far. Maya’s outdoor [...]
Clic Bookstore & Gallery
April 20, 2010
My first favorite find in St. Barth’s is this chic little bookstore and art gallery, which started here in 2008 but has since opened New York locations in Manhattan and East Hampton. Clic Bookstore & Gallery features monthly shows by emerging photographers and also stocks selective photography books such as hard to find classics, first [...]
