As we all know, the swimwear market is very different than the lingerie world, yet when they cross bows, the similarities elevate bathing suits to another level of expertise.

I was traveling in Italy on a winding stone road towards an exotic hamlet that was embraced by a floral paradise. … Read More
When I decided to move to Mexico 5 years ago, I had a lot of push back from family and friends. Mexico was so far away and dangerous (read the papers).
