Alisha and I shot these photos at the Dream Downtown Hotel before I jumped over the pond to Italy, but I have to say, the Amalfi Coast was definitely on my mind during this shoot. I've always been a big fan of two piece swimsuits, bikinis and the like, but there's something very old-school glamour about a one piece swimsuit -- especially when worn with just the right amount of dainty gold jewelry. Something about it reminds me of the opening scenes of Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night, when he's describing the beach scene at the oceanfront hotel -- bronzed men and women lounging in the mid-summer heat, sipping aperol spritz, gossiping about their fellow hotel guests, each person wondering who's partaking in a love tryst and with whom.
