LANA
RESORT READY
Spring break has arrived, and with it comes the irresistible pull of sunshine, sea air, and effortless glamour. It’s the season of vibrant color, statement silhouettes, and long afternoons that turn into sparkling evenings. Whether you’re lounging poolside, strolling through beachside boutiques, or heading out for sunset cocktails, resort dressing is all about embracing joy; and elevating every moment with the right jewelry.
To celebrate the season, we caught up with LANA founder and CEO Lana Bramlette to hear how she spends her ideal spring escape; and, of course, how she styles her jewelry from sunrise to well past sunset.
LANA'S SPRING BREAK ESCAPE
For Lana, spring break means heading somewhere that feels both inspiring and familiar. “Miami is always a quick getaway for me. It’s like a second home; I know where everything is; the weather is perfect, the beaches are beautiful, and the energy always inspires new LANA collections.”
And when it comes to dining, Lana has a few favorite spots she returns to again and again. For Italian classics, Forte dei Marmi is a must. For a vibrant dinner scene, Sunny’s Steakhouse never disappoints. Craving something casual? Lucali is her go-to for pizza, while Makoto in Bal Harbour is perfect for sushi followed by a little shopping. For something lighter, she loves starting the day with yogurt at Myka on Lincoln Road or heading to Mother Wolf in the Design District for an unforgettable dinner.
Of course, Miami wouldn’t be Miami without a little nightlife. Club Eleven is always a wild time, Lana says with a smile. And she’s never traveling alone; “My hubby, Rob, is always coming with me. It’s our time to relax, have fun, and enjoy the city together”.
RESORT STYLING, THE LANA WAY
When it comes to beachside jewelry styling, Lana keeps one rule in mind: effortless but elevated. “At the pool or beach, I keep it minimal." Still, there’s always one piece she reaches for before heading out the door. “My Large Thin Inside Out Diamond Hoops. They go with everything." And for a piece that truly does it all; from the beach to shopping to dinner, Lana swears by one signature style. "My Custom Diamond Tennis Nameplate Necklace. It works for every moment of the day."
And when it comes to color, Lana fully embraces the playful spirit of resort dressing. "I love mixing all our colors like a Missoni pattern! I’ll add an Emerald Dangling Ear Crawler to my second piercing, stack the Denim Blue Diamond Kinetic Ring, layer a Pink Sapphire Heart Tennis Bracelet, and finish it with turquoise pendant necklaces. It’s all so happy." Her favorite colored stone of the moment? "Our Denim Blue Diamonds. I'm a denim girl forever, and this shade of blue is like nothing you've ever seen."
BLUE DIAMONDS
For evening in Miami, Lana keeps the look simple but striking. "Short, sparkly, sexy, and colorful; on repeat."
Gold or diamonds? "Both."
Statement earrings or a layered neckline? "In Miami...both."
LANA'S RIDE OR DIE VACATION ESSENTIALS
When packing for a resort escape, Lana believes more is more. "Overpack and shop more when you land!"
But there are a few pieces she always brings along: Crystal wrap flats from Bottega Veneta, a bold bikini set from Versace, her signature LANA Diamond Hoops, and plenty of neon.
If she had to choose just one chain to pack? "Our Flash Tile chains. They're incredibly shiny, bold without being overpowering, and honestly... very sexy."
As for mixing metals? "We love doing what makes us happy. For me, color is everything and it's not just the stones; it's the metals too. Mix them, have fun. Life is short."
And when it comes to anklets? "Two anklets are non-negotiable. LANA babes have to show off both legs."
THIS OR THAT
Barefoot or heels? "Kitten heels; they elongate the leg, but comfort is key."
Overpack or curate? "Overpack... and shop more when you land."
Pool or beach? "Beach. I hate the pool!"
Sunrise or sunset? "Well... it's hard to see the sunset in Miami, but I'm definitely not waking up for the sunrise."
RESORT READY
Spring break style is about confidence, color, and pieces that move with you from sun-soaked afternoons to glamorous evenings. However, you’re traveling this season; whether it’s Miami, Palm Beach, or somewhere far beyond, the right jewelry turns every moment into a statement. And if Lana’s approach proves anything, it’s this: resort style should always feel joyful, bold, and unapologetically glamorous.
