I traveled to Jamaica for my birthday—here's everything I brought along, from sunscreen to slip-ons.

      I just returned from a Caribbean vacation in Jamaica, where I stayed at Idle Awhile in Negril. I spent most of my weeklong birthday getaway just as I had hoped: at Seven Mile Beach. When I wasn't soaking up the sun or floating in the warmest ocean I've ever experienced, I enjoyed meals at places like Ivan's and Flag City Seafood & Grill. There's also a vendor who strolls along the beach selling patties, which quickly became my favorite lunch. I started calling it "P&P time"—short for Pepsi and patties (specifically the beef ones). For my birthday dinner, I dined at the cliffside Rockhouse Restaurant located at Rockhouse Hotel, a boutique property designed by two architects who once studied under Frank Lloyd Wright. Sitting above Pristine Cove, it features breathtaking sunsets and uninterrupted horizon views. I can't recommend it highly enough. When it came to packing, true to form, I overpacked (21 swimsuits!), only to, as always, end up wearing a few favorites repeatedly. The clear winner for "most-worn item" was the 90's Bias Skirt by Charlie Beads, which I couldn't resist reaching for. Keep scrolling to see everything I brought with me, from sunscreen to slips.
