Trina Turk & Caicos Collection






Being from Turks and Caicos, I naturally get excited when there is any mention of the islands- so I was pretty excited once I saw this!
Swimwear designer Trina Turk has created an exclusive collection for the Grace Bay Club in Providenciales Turks & Caicos. The collection is available in their store at the resort, online and at Trina Turk boutiques. 
The print was inspired by "the island's playful beach lifestyle and the resort's sophisticated aesthetic"

Merry Christmas!













Merry Christmas to everyone! 
We had a great evening at the beach and making turkey, plus a very (un)professional photoshoot at the beach for kicks and giggles!

X-Mas Vacation- Day 7








So I spent the better part of my day running around. My father arrived so we needed to get some things done and get groceries. Funny enough I think Provo is the only place you will see a reggae band outside of a bank along with food singing- " scotia bank, scotia bank- come in here and leave your money" -its not the best p.r I've seen, but I guess it's an effort!
Following groceries I borrowed a bike from a resort and visited my old place of work, a ceramics/ art studio. After catching up with everyone I walked the beach during sunset. The weather really hasn't been that nice, so it was a bit chilly. 
In the evening, my mother and I went to the casino (and this is the start of my rant)- 
Dear young American boy tourists:
Yes you may be wearing seersucker pants, your initials embroidered on your popped collar shirt and you leather loafers tied, but that doesn't mean that makes you special. You see, in America, you may not be old enough to get into a casino, therefore you feel more inclined to "show off" here in Provo......
Well- people playing blackjack find it a bit annoying when you try and teach others how to play the game, you see- this sets off the table ever so slightly. Perhaps you should watch the movie "21" a couple more times and stop acting like you just came from Vegas.
ok rant over before I get too mean
but seriously- young american tourist boys- get over yourself-

First Day on the Beach




First day back home on the beach, it was so nice! Not going to lie, I felt a little pale from the lack of sun I was getting in Italy, hopefully I will gain a little colour back soon. My swimsuit is from an Italian designer, Cherie's Flakes . Each suit is handmade and assembled with no stitching!

Schools Out For Summer


School is finally out for summer!! We get on month (actually more like 29days..) off. I was supposed to go back home to Turks and Caicos, but instead I am going to be in Florence for most of the break. So far I have one trip planned- Paris, and I am contemplating Amsterdam at the moment as well. 
This month will allow me to get caugh up on work and Italian, its probably a good thing that I will remain here, I will get to see more of Italy and Europe.
Therefore there is going to be a lot more posts going up on my blog too!

What I Did Today









I was hired to take pictures for a friend whom is having an amazing trunk sale at the end of next month. She has collected things from all over the world, her things ranged from ivory to Tibetan prayer sticks and even a Ming dynasty ceramic pot (pictured). I fell in love with her entrance way doors, they were carved dark wooden doors from the far east. Her apartment was a penthouse unit, so as soon as I was finished I went for a swim- the last picture shows what a great view she had...and how nice the day was!
