In STRAIGHT TRIPPIN', OC friends and family share tidbits from their latest travels. We checked in with Anna Laub, designer of PRISM, about her reading material and travel essentials for a trip to Jamaica.
Name: Anna Laub
Occupation: Designer/founder of PRISM swimwear, sunglasses, and accessories.
Travel destination: Jamaica
Carry-on necessities: Kindle, cashmere wrap, Frends headphones, PRISM optical glasses.
Reading materials: My Kindle. I always buy magazines I don't manage to read all the time, like National Geographic, New Scientist, Intelligent Life. I also love design and interiors mags––Vogue Living, Elle Decor––for a long plane journey.
Most over-played tracks on your iPod this trip: Kranium's "Nobody has to Know" and Chronixx's "Smile Jamaica"
Favorite outfit to travel in: PRISM espadrilles, American Apparel black leggings, black dress.
Highlight of your trip: It was all pretty amazing. We stayed at the Rockhouse in Negril, which is right on cliffs and the water is the most clear and turquoise I've ever seen! And in Kingston, we were at Strawberry Hill, which is pretty epic––it's where Bob Marley went to recover after he was shot in '76. The view is amazing, it's like being on top of the world!
Souvenirs you brought back: An amazingly kitsch underwater globe in a heart shape (a summer version of the snow globe)
