A LUISAVIAROMA LUNAR NEW YEAR

Style

// Magda Butrym pink dress. Alessandra Rich yellow top and skirt //

I loved shooting this special Luisaviaroma editorial story for the LVR Magazine, the Lunar New Year edition! The Year of the Rabbit symbolizes patience and peace. It’s a reminder to be gentle and caring to others, and also, to ourselves. Now is the best time to give everything we do a little extra thought, love, and understanding. I predict this year will be a lucky one in happy colors like these! I already feel upbeat and optimistic for this 2023. I want to simply enjoy life in the best way possible. I’m inspired to take things to a whole new level and I hope you do too. Happiest Year of the Rabbit my friends!

THE KHOON HOOI QIPAO

Style

// Khoon Hooi dresses //

GONG XI FAI CAI! I’m so excited to be wearing a gorgeous QiPao by Khoon Hooi alongside the amazing women in my life: my sister Dylana, and my mother. We really are a fun trio. A QiPao is a traditional Chinese dress, also known as the mandarin gown or cheongsam. This gorgeous gold and red set that I am wearing was also featured in The New York Times! Talk about an iconic moment this Lunar New Year out at a party in the Lower East Side! I wear my QiPao proudly this time of year. My mother is Chinese, who was born in Singapore and raised in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I feel so blessed to have grown up with this culture. We have a wonderful love for food and family. This designer is also from Malaysia and you may recognize that I’ve worn his pieces on many red carpets. I have quite the collection of dresses in my closet at the moment, each holding a unique story and memory. Always so much glamour. What I love about a qipao is the beautiful slim fit and elegant collar. It’s the lucky Year of the Rabbit. Wishing you a prosperous, happy, and healthy new year!

THE ALL NEW BOCA RATON RESORT & CLUB

Style, Travel

The Boca Raton Resort & Club is every New Yorkers dream escape. It’s just a 3 hour flight to paradise. Palm trees and extra balmy weather await for me in the wintertime. This luxury resort is a place to either unwind by the pool or stay active on the tennis courts. I did all of the above, and more. I biked through the exquisite neighborhood. I ate a Sadelle’s classic burger. I took a royal bath in the spa. The newly renovated pink tower is just a dream. It still has it’s old school charm but with chic new interiors. I dressed up. I dressed down. I took a boat to the Boca Raton Beach Club to lay out with a cocktail. All I can say is, I would do it all over again.
