Each Fendi Crazy Carats timepiece has three different stone settings for three different looks.

Shown this page: With Top Wesselton VVS-quality diamond bezel and diamond accents on the dial, the Crazy Carats timepiece is accompanied by a supple polished stainless-steel bracelet or strap and FF logo butterﬂy deployant buckle.

WELCOME LETTER

Celebrating Modern ClassiCs Silver screen legend Elizabeth Taylor was famous for many things, among them her gorgeous violet eyes, her many marriages and her love of jewelry. Liz even published a beautiful coffee table book called My Love Affair with Jewelry, which tells the stories behind her famous gems. “You can’t cry on a diamond’s shoulder, and diamonds won’t keep you warm at night,” Liz once said. “But they're sure fun when the sun shines.”

Crown of Light

In “Liz Taylor, the Ultimate Jewelry Queen” (pg. 40), we celebrate a love that we here at Style For All share with Liz. In this issue, we also highlight women who, like Liz, effortlessly exude confidence and style, such as former model Inés de la Fressange and cover girl Sofia Vergara. When you read about Inés and Sofia, you will meet two women who define our modern classic theme. Each, in her own way, has an attitude that tells the world: “This is who I am.” They celebrate life and even aging with selfconfidence and humor. A great line in “Eternally, Agelessly Chic,” the article about Inés (pg. 50), is a quote from her book Parisian Chic: “The secret of great style is to feel good in what you wear. If you don’t feel comfortable in a plunging sweater, skin-tight jeans and killer heels, go home and change!” Lots of fun subjects are addressed in the magazine, such as some of the activities you will find aboard your Carnival ship (pg. 18); ways to find out more about your life’s path and future potential with numerology (pg. 100); and the origins of famous cocktails born in the Caribbean (pg. 90).

A style guide for francophiles and style lovers alike by model and designer Ines de la Fressange

Everyone knows that a cruise is a good time for shopping, and the Caribbean is the best place to find great deals on watches and jewelry. No matter what you are looking for, you can find it on the pages of Style For All. Flip through to find the perfect pretty piece for you or someone you love.

Enjoy!

Di a monDs 101 i never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number of carats in a diamond.” —mae West

It’s never too early to

Upgrade by Tasha Riekstins

Did you know that diamonds shrink over time? Well, not really… but after five to 10 years that diamond does begin to look a little smaller! Shopping in the Caribbean allows you the unique opportunity to upgrade or update your current diamond jewelry. As most women mature, their style does too. Think about it: What did you look like in 1988? Also, you may have reached a monumental milestone in your relationship that deserves recognition. Whether you have been together five years or 25, you’ve earned an upgrade! While diamonds are forever, that doesn’t mean the style of your jewelry has to be. Here are some clever ways to update your current diamond jewelry:

1 2 3

Change your setting. Celebrate your right as a woman to change your mind. One way to elevate your diamond is to simply change its setting. Maybe you bought your original diamond ring in a yellow gold setting and today you wear mostly white gold. This cruise is your chance to make a change. Just wait until you see the selection that awaits you in port. The possibilities are endless. Change your center stone. Are you a romantic at heart who doesn’t want to give up the original diamond from your wedding ring? Then don’t. Simply have the diamond set into a pendant so it will be forever close to your heart. Then choose a different shape, a larger carat weight or a colored diamond in your original mounting. Total overhaul! Why not start all over? You can actually upgrade any and every piece of diamond jewelry in port. You can walk in with those half-carat studs and leave with a big smile and a carat in each ear. Or trade in your diamond wedding ring for something completely new and exciting.

The great thing about diamond jewelry is that it can grow with you over a lifetime. See your Fun Finds Shopping Expert to find out where to upgrade your diamond this voyage.

Liz TayLor: The ULTimaTe JeweLry QUeen By Meryl Davids Landau Left: “La Peregrina,” Liz’s pearl, diamond and ruby necklace, fetched a worldrecord price of $11,842,500 at Christie’s in New York.

DiamonDs may be every girl’s best friend, but perhaps none of us bonds to our sparklers quite like Elizabeth Taylor. Although the dazzling, much-married movie star who burst onto the scene nearly seven decades ago was stunning without a single bauble, the fully fleshedout “Liz Look” has to include jaw-dropping necklaces, earrings and, of course, those famous diamond rings. “Liz lived larger than life, so it’s not surprising her jewelry was larger than life, too,” says Joseph Papa, author of Elizabeth Taylor: A Passion for Life. The most massively oversized diamond earrings and necklaces looked natural on her, he says, set as they were against her dark, always coiffed hair and uniquely violet-colored eyes, and — perhaps most important of all — worn with a hefty dose of self-confidence. Yet Liz understood her gems’ true value. “I’ve never thought of my jewelry as trophies. I’m here to take care of it and to love it, for we are only temporary custodians of beauty,” Liz once said of her magnificent array. Liz’s self-professed love affair with jewelry started with a charm bracelet collection in adolescence, and was later fed by a series of directors and lovers showering her with increasingly elaborate baubles. It was a passion matched by her knowledge of gemstones and her impeccable sense of style — all the more impressive when you realize studios didn’t employ stylists to create a star’s look in those days. Liz pulled it off herself. The stories behind what became one of the world’s greatest jewelry collections (several hundred pieces of which were sold by Christie’s in 2011 for a record-breaking $116 million) are fascinating and legendary, such as how she won a game of table tennis to then-husband Richard Burton in 1970 where they’d bet a diamond. Burton promptly set out to find the smallest possible stone — in

the end, combining three gems into a trio of small rings dubbed “The Ping Pong Diamonds.” Prior husband Mike Todd surprised her with a suite of Cartier diamond-and-ruby earrings, necklace and bracelet while she was swimming in her pool, and, no mirror in hand, she took to admiring herself in them via the water’s reflection. And, of course, there is the story of how Burton presented her with a breathtaking 69-carat pear-shaped rock for her 40th birthday — after all, what else do you get the girl who has everything? “It would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a big ring on Elizabeth Taylor’s finger,” Andy Warhol once recalled, according to the L.A. Times, reflecting a sentiment that mixes our fascination with Liz with awe for her incredible taste in jewelry. Perhaps her most famous bauble is the legendary “La Peregrina,” a pearl equal in size to a 55-carat diamond, which in the sixteenth century belonged to the royal family of Spain. After Burton purchased it at an auction in 1969 — outbidding modern Spanish royalty — Liz asked Cartier to design a setting of natural pearls and rubies — creating one of the most well-known jewelry pieces of our time. Ward Landrigan, the former head of Sotheby’s division, sometimes hand-delivered some of Liz’s most impressive purchases. Now CEO at Verdura jewelry in New York City, Landrigan recalls being in the same restaurant in 1968 when Liz gave a group of passing schoolgirls a thrill. She not only gave each of them an autograph, but also let them try on her 33-carat Krupp Diamond (recently renamed The Elizabeth Taylor Diamond). “It was amazing to see her generosity. The girls were no doubt as thrilled by this gorgeous movie star as by her famous diamond,” he says. And, really, aren’t we all?

of Style, called Parisian Chic “a practical guide to je ne sais quoi.” So how, exactly, does this French-born beauty maintain her sense of style? Like many perfectly groomed Parisiennes, de la Fressange keeps it simple. She pairs a pencil skirt with ballet flats rather than heels, for instance. and she never over-accessorizes, choosing only one bold piece of statement jewelry, such as a gold cuff bracelet or a chunky necklace. de la Fressange offers advice that can help achieve self-confidence, a Parisian woman’s most stylish and beautiful accoutrement. The key to effortless style comes from a tip she suggests in Parisian Chic: “The secret of great style is to feel good in what you wear. if you don’t feel comfortable in a plunging sweater, skin-tight jeans and killer heels, go home and change!”

sportsman Sports technical watches have always been highly coveted for their functionality and durability. This is the ultimate watch, offering resilience to the urban warrior or specific functions to the avid sportsman. Timepieces offer an array of features, from something as practical as the lap-timer or a day-and-month window, to something specialized such as a countdown for a regatta or slide-rule for a pilot.

The imporTance of wearing

The righT waTch By Sarah Beth Reno

You Wouldn’t Wear shorts to a formal affair or a tuxedo to play tennis. Wearing the appropriate watch for the occasion is just as important as choosing an outfit that makes sense. In port, competitive Caribbean duty-free pricing affords you the perfect opportunity to build your watch wardrobe this cruise. Europeans have understood the importance of owning a wardrobe of watches for generations. In Italy, a watch is considered an instant heirloom, and the average person owns six to seven timepieces. The dizzying variety of watches available in the Caribbean makes it easy to add to your collection.

What Makes hiM tick? Will Stein founder and oWner of PhiliP stein Originally from Germany, Will grew up in a warm but disciplined household. In 1996, he emigrated to the United States, where he met his wife, Rina (pictured). Combining their strengths, the couple founded Philip Stein in 2002, launching the first-ever “luxury wellbeing watch.” What inspires you? Nature and the outdoors. Being around creative people and being in calm and peaceful environments. What do you do for fun? Living partially in Switzerland, I have a lot of opportunities being outdoors, which I enjoy very much. I love anything from hiking to swimming in the lake, skiing and biking. The outdoors gives me time to think, be creative and think about new ideas and concepts.

EvEr wondEr what actually makEs a watch work? Explaining a complication nEEd not bE complicatEd. Find out what makEs a FinE timEpiEcE so magniFicEnt.

Automatic: A self-winding watch whose movement is mechanical. A weight (the rotor) turns by the motion of your arm and winds the mainspring. The energy is transferred into mechanical energy that creates the watch movement. These watches can be shaken or manually wound if the power reserve runs out. Bezel: The ring surrounding the watch dial (or face). The bezel is usually made of gold, gold plate or stainless steel. Originally, the bezel was the glass ring in the case that was snapped with the pressed-in crystal onto the center part of the watch case. Decorative and rotating rings are often called “bezels” today.

Case: The protective cover on a watch. Cases are available in many different types and materials. There is also a large number of case shapes (round, square, oval, rectangular, barrel-shaped or pillow-shaped). Chronograph: Stopwatch function that uses sub-dials to keep track of seconds, minutes and hours.

Crystal: The transparent cover on a watch face made of glass crystal, synthetic sapphire or plastic. Better watches often have a sapphire crystal, which is highly resistant to scratching or shattering.

Complication: Additional mechanism in mechanical wrist watches that can only be made by specialists. The most important complications for mechanical watches include chronographs, calendars, retrograde indicators, striking works and alarms.

Jewels: Synthetic sapphires or rubies that act as bearings for gears in a mechanical watch. The jewels reduce friction to make the watch more accurate and longer lasting.

Crown: Also called a stem or pin, a crown is the button on the outside of the watch case

Mainspring: The driving spring of a watch or clock, contained in the barrel. Mechanical Movement: A movement powered by a mainspring, working in conjunction with a balance wheel. These watches require superior craftsmanship.

that is used to set the time and date. In a mechanical watch, the crown also winds the mainspring. In this case, it is also called a “winding stem.”

Quartz Movement: Quartz crystals are very accurate and can be mass-produced, which makes them less expensive than most mechanical movements requiring a higher degree of craftsmanship. Skeleton Watch: A timepiece in which the case and various parts of the movement are of transparent material, enabling the main parts of the watch to be seen. Water-Resistance: The ability to withstand splashes of water. Terms such as “water resistant to 50 meters” or “water resistant to 200 meters” indicate that the watch can be worn underwater to various depths. Sources: BJSOnline.com

Breaking the mold old in Hollywood By Celeste rodas de Juárez

sofia Vergara’s first castings in Hollywood were a storm of criticism about her body, her accent, her hair. Had she listened to the advice, she might not be the actress audiences have come to love. instead, she decided to greet each objection with optimism. every criticism gave her a greater appreciation for her uniqueness and inspired her to shine as a different kind of star. times have changed for Vergara, who today is the highest-paid actress on television. according to Forbes magazine, the actress, who portrays Gloria delgado Pritchett on the hit aBC show Modern Family, earned $19 million from may 2011 to may 2012. not bad for the girl who only five years ago was having a difficult time finding acceptance in Hollywood. after multiple emmy nominations for Modern Family, “La Vergara” — as her Hispanic fans call her — has signed multiple advertisement deals, earning the star an astounding $7 million in publicity contracts alone.

On Modern Family, Sofia Vergara’s character gets a hand from her son, played by Rico Rodriguez, when a fake pregnancy pillow has a wardrobe malfunction.

all Wrong for tinseltown Her optimism and determination were soon put to the test, however, after the criticism that followed her first audition. Her thick accent and her curvy figure did not fit the Hollywood image. How could she succeed with such a body in an industry dominated by women who wore a size 2 or a size 0? “in the beginning, it was even suggested that i should undergo breast reduction surgery so that i would be taken seriously,” she says. “i was told to put aside a whole year of auditioning so that i could work on improving my accent. They told me that i was too voluptuous, that my voice was too raspy, that i was too passionate, too everything! and for each thing that was insinuated, my management team and i saw it as a way of differentiating myself, more of an advantage that made me special, that made me stand out. i was someone who didn’t fit the mold common in the market, and so we were stubborn and held on to my motto: ‘i am not going 72

to change.’ all those criticisms and refusals, instead of intimidating us, motivated us more.”

embracing her Curves in the mid-2000s, after she obtained her first small roles in movies such as Four brothers starring mark Wahlberg, or in tV series like Hot Properties, problems still followed. Vergara could not find dresses for parties and galas that would fit her. “my friends find it very funny that when this whole thing with the red carpet began, and i could not find a dress, i would tell them ‘yes, maybe if you’re skinny, you look better dressed on the red carpet… but i look better without clothes, thanks to my curves.’ ” for special events, Vergara had to invest in designer gowns that would accommodate her shape. “it was a shock to be considered overweight by Hollywood standards.” Why didn’t she just accept those “standards” and go on a diet? “it’s very simple. i am not going to starve myself to be a size 0 because i’d always be in a bad mood and would also make everyone else’s life miserable. and i don’t see myself spending hours and hours sweating in a gym. one has to know one’s body, and if i were to be a size 0, i would lose my charm and look 10 years older.” today, Vergara has the luxury of choosing among many designers who offer her dresses. “They send me divine things in my size, and best of all, my seamstresses fix them for me so they are perfect when i go to the awards shows… sometimes i feel like taking them all home.” The only thing that Vergara agreed to do to get ahead in the entertainment industry was to work long and endless days and to darken her naturally light hair. “dark hair has been good to me so, unless it is for a movie or a role, i don’t plan on lightening it. When

she hosted a tV entertainment program called Personajes in her native Colombia, later moving to miami to be the face of Fuera de serie, a travel program on univisión, the largest spanish-language network in the united states. in miami, she had a great apartment, lived close to her mother and siblings, and was surrounded by many friends. However, when someone suggested she try her luck in Hollywood, she took the biggest risk of her life. “i knew that i had to start from scratch, and i made the decision to leave everything behind in miami,” she recalls. “The change was a big one because i had no family in Los angeles. i went there with just my son, manolo. But i had a goal, and i knew that i would have to work hard. no complaining, no drama, no grumbling. Just leave everything behind without looking back.”

Sofia’s Style

“The well-dressed woman must not only look good, but she must also feel comfortable and feminine, without wearing too many accessories or being a slave to what’s fashionable,” she says. “To be well-dressed, you must be creative and have a nice wardrobe, know how to mix things up fearlessly, and add the items that you like.” Vergara does admit to having a weakness for shoes and handbags. “I’ve always said that I have clothes and jeans of all prices, but shoes and purses are my downfall! If you look into my closet, you will see my fascination for Hermes handbags, while Christian Louboutin and Yves Saint Laurent top my list for shoes.” i first dyed it, i felt strange, but now i love it, although i must admit that it took me a while to get used to it. The problem is that my eyelashes and eyebrows are still light, and sometimes it looks weird. Having to darken your roots every two weeks is worse than getting highlights.”

intimate sofia although it may be hard to believe, Vergara is the mother of a 20-year-old, manolo, who studies film in Boston. He has said that someday he would like to direct his mother in a movie. “manolo says that i am very bossy and nosy, and intense, so i imagine how he would take revenge on me if he could direct me. But i would be thrilled to let him do it, because i think he is very capable, even as an actor.” The other man occupying her life and heart is her fiancé, businessman nick Loeb. When thinking about what convinced

her to accept his engagement ring, she says, “The chemistry that sometimes exists between two people is very difficult to explain. simply put, it either happens or it doesn’t, and nick and i have it. He is wonderful on the inside and the outside; he treats me like a queen, and my son gets along very well with him. i hadn’t lived with anyone after i divorced manolo’s dad, because i did not want to confuse him. it didn’t seem right to me. But since manolo has left, i too have had time for love.” at age 40, Vergara does not rule out becoming a mother for the second time. “i don’t know what’s going to happen. i don’t see myself pregnant or taking care of a baby at this stage of my life, although i adore children. But nick wants to have a little girl, and, because i love him, i may have to consider the idea of being a mother who has two children with an age difference of maybe 20 years between them! But i better not think about that or i get nervous!” Style For All

CARIBBEAN CONCOCTIONS By Haley Struthers

EDWA R D fER nA nDEz

From Famous waters to famous writers, there’s more to the cocktails of the Caribbean than what goes in the glass. These concoctions mix lengthy tales and much-debated histories — a pinch of legend and a dash of romance. The stories date back to the days of swashbucklers and naval captains, but the cocktails still impress the travelers of today.

THE GOOD LIFE

I’ll Take Mine Blended

Perhaps one of the most iconic drinks, more for its ability to get you caught in the rain (as the song goes), is the piña colada. As the official beverage of Puerto Rico, this pineapple concoction has a history that is hotly debated. Born in Cuba, the virgin piña colada became alcoholic when it met Puerto Rican rum — although the Caribe Hilton and Barrachina restaurant in San Juan both lay claim to its creation. According to Puerto Rican historians, the famous drink was created on August 16, 1954, by Ramon “Monchito” Marrero for the Caribe Hilton. The fact is documented since Monchito used Coco Lopez, which was created that same year by Ramón López Irizarry, an agricultural professor at the University of Puerto Rico. However, Barrachina’s story maintains that Spanish chef Pepe Barrachina met with a fellow Spaniard, bartender Don Ramon Portas Mingot, to create a new cocktail. In 1963, Mingot combined pineapple juice, coconut cream, condensed milk and ice in a blender. The originator of the drink may never be truly known, but one thing is for sure: It became one of the most popular cocktails in the Caribbean and beyond. Like the piña colada, many other drinks use a rum base; the Caribbean is known for some of the best rum in the world, and most rum now comes from here. As far back as the 17th century and until 1970, the British Royal Navy even rationed out a daily amount to its sailors. A traditional blend from the British Virgin Islands is The Painkiller, originally made with Pusser’s Rum. The Soggy Dollar Bar claims this cocktail comes from its hideaway on White Bay, BVI. It’s a close cousin to the piña colada and the Goombay Smash, but Grenadian nutmeg adds a dash of deliciousness.

On the Rocks

And what would a Caribbean vacation be without a little mojito? The perfectly crisp and refreshing drink makes its home in Cuba, but its origin is debated. The original recipe was only made with rum once it became widely available, but the slaves of the Cuban sugarcane trade laid the foundation with guarapo, a sugarcane juice. Ernest Hemingway popularized this drink at La Bodeguita del Medio in Havana, which displays his handwritten note on the wall of the bar. For a knockout, be sure to check out one of the many types of rum punches available throughout the Caribbean islands. The Barbadian Bajan rum punch even has a national rhyme, so you can make it at home. Just remember: “One of sour, two of sweet, three of strong, four of weak.” That’s one part lime juice, two parts sweetener, three parts rum and four parts water. If your travels take you to St. Maarten/St. Martin, pick up some guavaberry liqueur, made with a rare fruit found in the center of the island’s high hills. “There is really nothing in nature that tastes quite like a guavaberry,” said Stephen Thompson, managing director of Sint Maarten Guavaberry Company. “Guavaberry is an essential part of the history on [the island], inextricably tied to her folklore and culture. In that way it is in a different league. It is quite precious. The fruit is also extremely rare.” There is also the Dominican Republic’s somewhat mysterious mamajuana, which was originally a tea steeped in bark, herbs and honey. Later, red wine was added to the mix. And not shockingly, its base is — yo-ho-ho — a bit of rum.

Guavaberry Banada

Mojito

2 ounces Sint Maarten Guavaberry liqueur 1 ounce cream of coconut 3 ounces pineapple juice or pieces 1/2 banana, chopped Ice

2 ounces Tortuga Light Rum 1 teaspoon superfine sugar 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice Club soda 6 yerba buena leaves or 4 mint leaves 3-4 ice cubes

Put ice in blender. Add guavaberry liqueur, cream of coconut, banana and pineapple or juice. Blend until smooth and pour into a tall glass. Garnish with slices of pineapple, banana, toasted coconut, fresh flowers and imagination. Grate fresh nutmeg over it.

Put sugar and yerba buena (or mint) in the bottom of a rocks glass, add sugar and lime juice; muddle (crush with a spoon or muddler) and mix until the mint leaves are crushed and sugar is almost dissolved. Add the ice cubes, then the rum. Top with club soda to fill the glass, or to desired strength. Stir lightly again.

The trilogy/series trend has engulfed best-seller lists far and wide and inundated theaters with adaptations for the silver screen. Multi-titles are nothing new, though; The Hardy Boys, Sherlock Holmes, The Lord of the Rings, Nancy Drew, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more have been around for years. Yet a revived exuberance is unmistakable.

Some SerieS-ouS StatS

So what is all the hoopla about? readers both youthful and mature have become captivated by stories that live on far beyond the final page of a single novel. “readers enjoy the familiarity and continuity of the characters and settings that keep them coming back to learn more about their lives and adventures,” explains ellie Berger, president of Scholastic trade, publisher of such series as Harry Potter and The Hunger Games. Book lover amy Stultz, of New Hampshire, who has read many series including Twilight, Harry Potter and Fifty Shades, believes the draw lies in the reader’s ability to engage with the characters in an in-depth manner. “When i finish a really good book, i am left wanting more,” says the mother of two. “i feel a connection with the characters, and i want to know what happens next. Series bring us from beginning to end, and allow for the excitement we get from [the characters’] joys — and the sadness we feel for their losses — to linger.” Lengthy stories teeming with details and characters appeal to Scott Sherris of Georgia, who began reading series such as Encyclopedia Brown during his childhood and has read, among many other series, A Song of Ice and Fire, from which HBo’s Game of Thrones show is based. “Series are attractive because they make it easy to find an author and story in which i’m interested. really engaging, creative authors are pretty rare; if i find one i like, i know that i could have months of good reading material ahead of me.” once hooked by the first gripping storyline — such as the steamy romance between a college student and a brilliant entrepreneur with erotic tastes, in e.L. James’ Fifty Shades of Grey — readers seem compelled to read an entire series immediately, whenever available, or chomp at the bit until the next installment is released. “i read the first and second books in The Hunger Games in one day and did the same with the first two books in the Fifty Shades series,” Stultz said. “i finished the last books within a week. reading a series is like a very long book.” Likewise, when adaptations of these sagas are released in cinemas or on television, fans flock. “i love seeing real people fill in the roles i’ve only vaguely defined in my head,” says Sherris, who works in international finance. Hollywood has been cashing in, giving book buffs exactly what they want, and it seems trilogy and series enthusiasts are picking their heads up out of their books long enough to break movie ticket sales records, a most fitting sequel to their literary counterparts’ sales.

Trilogies’ and series’ plotlines aren’t the only things to “ooh” and “aah” over. Staggering figures on book sales, author paydays, ownership rights, movie ticket sales and box office records lead to plenty of jaw dropping, head shaking and eye popping, too.

50 Shades of Green

Fifty Shades author E.L. James raked in more than $50 million in less than six months after her racy trilogy spread through suburban carpool lines and mah-jongg games like wildfire. The 50 Shades of Grey trilogy has outsold the Harry Potter series’ seven books in the UK, according to Amazon UK. An intense bidding war set Universal Pictures and Focus Features back $5 million for the film rights to the Fifty Shades trilogy.

Box office Blockbusters

According to Box Office Mojo, as of July 23, 2012, six of the top 10 opening-day box-office grosses are held by movies adapted from book series and include Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (No. 1), Twilight: New Moon (No. 4), Twilight: Breaking Dawn (No. 5), Twilight: Eclipse (No. 6), The Hunger Games (No. 7), and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (No. 10). Twilight: Eclipse holds the record for the widest openings/releases in box office history, playing in 4,468 theaters. The four Twilight films have a combined gross of $1,071,212,372.

to Be Continued…

The film adaptation of The Hunger Games’ second novel, Catching Fire, is scheduled to hit theaters in November 2013. After its success of the film based on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Sony announced plans to release adaptations of the series’ next two novels, with The Girl Who Played with Fire slated for a late 2013 debut, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest to follow. —D.

2 If By Sea…

A Journey Through Numbers

by Siobhan Kleinman Numbers are a big part of everyone’s life. We use numbers for just about everything. Most people have a favorite or lucky number they swear by. However, you may be surprised at the important role numbers play in life’s journey, not only in the ways numbers assist us in communicating by phone, locating an address on a GPS system, or finding your stateroom on board. Did you know that numbers teach you how to navigate your soul’s purpose? This kind of tracking system is called numerology.

Let’s use Kate Middleton as an example:

Numerology, which by definition is the study of numbers, dates back to the beginning of time. The most famous numerologist was Pythagoras, the mathematician and philosopher who brought the study to the Greeks and made numerology the basis of a new religious philosophy. Although times have changed, the root of numerology continues to be an integral part of our world today.

A person with a 3 is creative, artsy, nurturing, happy, optimistic and inspiring. While studying at the University of Scotland, Middleton met Prince William in 2001. After graduating, she worked as an accessory buyer with the clothing chain Jigsaw and as a catalog photographer, webpage designer and marketing officer for the family business, Party Pieces.

D.O.B.: 1/9/1982 (1 + 9 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 2) = 30 Take your sum and add its digits together. 30 will be (3 + 0) = 3 This equals liFe PaTh numBer 3

Next is the success number, which reveals your attitude toward life, and how you handle rewards and setbacks. This is found by adding the numeric month and date of birth. Since Middleton was born on January 9, her success number is 1.

Just as everybody has a horoscope sign based on the day they were born, everyone also has a number. Astrology tends to focus more on an individual’s personality traits, while numerology digs deeper into your inner being. Knowing your personal numbers will give insight and clues into relationships and offer a sneak peek into your karmic outlook. So, grab paper and a pen to start finding your lucky numbers. It’s fun and easy to learn and it might even bring you a bit of good fortune at love or in the casino during this voyage.

1 + 9 = 10 1+0=1 This equals suCCess numBer 1 Someone with a 1 is an innovator and a strong, powerful leader in their career and life. Engaged in 2010, Middleton married into royalty on April 29, 2011, at Westminster Abbey — a success in anyone’s storybook!

The first number corresponds with your life path. To find this, simply add together the sum of your numeric date of birth. Take that sum and add the two digits together until you have a single digit number.

Your name is also an important part of you and each letter has a numeric equivalent to zoom in on another aspect of yourself. (Check out the Letter Chart, at the top of the opposite page, to decode the letters in your name.)

The numbers usually don’t lie and it’s interesting to see how words can add up to their meaning. For instance, the word “balance” adds up to a 2 (see the number chart to see the numeric equivalent for each letter), which is the number for “balance.” The numeric value for the letters in the word “cruise” adds up to a “3” which equals fun and happiness. exploring the aspects of numerology is an exciting way to see how the pieces fit together.

what is your favorite place to visit in Italy? Giving you just one name would mean limiting the beauty of Italy, as there are thousands of wonderful places worthwhile to be visited. It also depends on the seasons. For example, I love the Amalfi Coast and Porto Cervo in Sardinia for summer holidays while Cortina is the best for the winter or Tuscany for autumn. Anyway, I am always in love with Venice, which represents a unique open-air museum, where the sky is your roof.

what is your favorite roberto Coin piece that reflects your love for Italy? When I designed the Vulcano Collection, I was inspired by my last holiday where I traveled around Italy. It is the perfect collection: sophisticated and delicate. what’s your favorite Italian wine? Definitely Amarone, produced in Verona. what’s your favorite Italian dish? Pasta, in all its versions. I can’t choose just one!

ItalIan jewelry desIgner roberto CoIn is passionate about his Italian heritage, his designs inspired by his culture. A native of Venice, one of Italy’s most beautiful cities, Coin learned to design and craft jewelry from the masters in Vicenza. Today, some of Coin’s biggest fans include celebrities Mila Kunis, Kristen Stewart, Petra Nemcova and Mena Suvari. Coin has developed admirers of his designs not only from a number of beautiful jewelry collections, but also through the creation of his unique signature, the ruby. According to ancient folklore, the ruby promotes health, happiness and a long life when in direct contact with the skin. With this in mind, Coin began placing a small ruby inside each piece, a secret gift of best wishes to each woman who wears his exclusive designs. The story of the ruby exhibits Coin’s true Italian craftsmanship. We wanted to know why he believes Italy is the perfect place to enjoy la dolce vita.

The best part of exploring curaçao is that it feels undiscovered, like an exclusive hideaway. one of the tiny “abc islands” of the Dutch antilles — aruba, bonaire, and curaçao — this secluded slice of paradise is the caribbean’s best-kept secret. Visitors mingle in harmony with locals, who offer a friendly greeting: bon bini! (Welcome) or Kon ta bai? (how’s it going?). relax and unwind amid curaçaoans working, playing and enjoying life to its fullest — the same as they have done for generations. curacao.com
