fivejedjon...it would be better to use every part of you.
Then, the following sentence is acceptable, isn't it?

I admire you – every part of you – your eyes, your nose, and your smile.

Can I change 'your smile' into 'the way you smile'?

I admire you – every part of you – your eyes, your nose, and the way you smile.

The way you smile is not really a part of you in the way that you eyes and nose are,

Instead of .every part of you', I'd use 'everything about you' there.
