Eat. Pray. Love

Montego Bay, Jamaica

I have an immense appreciation for life's simple treasures and feel blessed to have started 2015 in a tropical environment where I could relax, reflect and plan for the year ahead. The all-inclusive Iberostar Resort provided the perfect scenario for my adopted mantra from Mother Theresa of "Small things, great love."

It was another day of sweet serenity and I was feeling oh so pretty in pink in this Nanette Lepore piece. As a swimwear designer, I have a special liking towards one-pieces. I thrive on contradicting the notion that coverage isn't sexy or fashion-forward, making them my personal favorite style to create.

This may be why I was so drawn to this Nanette Lepore one-piece. I love the tropical and vibrant print. The bold colors and selective cut-out details are quite statement makers, but overall the coverage makes it subtle, comfortable and elegant. I paired it with my favorite sandals by Jamaican design house Bridget Sandals and a chic crochet cover-up and white denim shorts from Forever21. My Bulova watch, American Eagle mirrored sunglasses and a cute ID necklace provided the final touches to this look. (click images to enlarge)
