“My schedule has been so crazy. I was in desperate need of a getaway but didn’t have the time for a proper vacation. So I decided to channel a Roman Holiday vibe in New York as a way to relax. My dress is CH Carolina Herrera, my bag Carolina Herrera, and my striped shoes are Manolo Blahnik. It’s my version of fashion sunbathing!”
