What’s one little ritual you do while traveling that makes you feel instantly at home?
I always put the same TV show on in the background when I go to sleep, Gilmore Girls.
What’s the most unexpected item in your suitcase that you can’t travel without?
My slippers that I bring from home. I wear them around my hotel room.
If your style were a destination, which city or country would it be and why?
It would have to be somewhere like Italy. I like the flowy dresses, long skirts, vibrant, and colorful pieces.
What’s a connection or conversation from this getaway that left a lasting impression on you?
The friendships I made. I was nervous going into an environment where I didn’t know anybody, but it ended up being the most supportive and amazing group of girls who I’ve made such heartfelt memories with.
If your current chapter of life had a soundtrack, what song would be playing on repeat?
“Three Little Birds” by Bob Marley. It’s such an uplifting song and makes the energy go up.
Who is a dream collaborator (brand, artist, or designer) that you would love to work with?
My dream brand to work with is Prada. I take pride in finding signature scents, and one of my favorite compliments to receive is that I smell good. I love Prada’s perfume.
What’s a past trip that shifted the way you see the world?
Curaçao has changed how I see the world. It’s a different culture, different scenery, and the island opens my eyes to how beautiful our world truly is. Traveling to different areas makes me grateful to experience and cherish the new views. I like it.
Beyond fashion and content, what’s something you’re deeply passionate about that your audience might not know?
I have my own horse and I love riding horses. It’s a hobby and sport I’ve gotten into this past year and a half.
When someone discovers your content for the first time, what do you hope they take away from it?
That life isn’t that serious—do what you love and enjoy life for what it is.
What exciting projects or collaborations are on the horizon for you this year?
I’m working on a new collection dropping soon. My goal is to showcase the good in life.
Looking back, what was your most unforgettable moment from the Curaçao getaway, and what made it so special?
Our boat day. It was kind of like an 'I can’t believe I’m here' moment. I remember sitting on the side, looking out into the beautiful water and cliffs, with amazing people, taking it all in.
What stood out most to you during your stay at Avila Beach Hotel?
How friendly the staff were. They were extremely welcoming, very accommodating, and super nice. Anything you needed, they were absolutely on top of it.
