Island Style - About Me

I have lived on the coast of New South Wales (Australia) for most of my life and love the coast, the surf and the beach. I have spent a lot of time in Hawaii and love the atmosphere, the tropical scents and the colour. There is such a great holiday feeling to the islands.  My family also have a lifelong interest in surfing and it's origins in the islands of Hawaii.  We have also spent time on other tropical islands. 

Some years ago my husband and I (with some friends) built a small resort in Samoa - Sa'Moana Resort. We have both spent a lot of time in Samoa and have grown to love the people, their amazing culture and handicrafts. Though we no longer have any involvement in the resort we really appreciate the time we spent there.

As a result of our travels and the beautiful jewellery and interesting handicrafts we have seen I decided to start importing some of these products. I felt that the easiest way to reach the biggest number of people and keep the prices competitive was to do this via the internet. So I set up Island Style Designs - www.islandstyle.net.au

We can't all live on a tropical island but we can feel as though we do. What I aim to do is bring the tropical life, the casual relaxed lifestyle, as well as some incredible handicrafts and some of the history of surfing to you.
