Cannes Film Festival with the Aston Martin DB12

// Rasario gown, CHANEL bag, Malone Souliers shoes //

Feeling like the luckiest girl in the world to be in France for the special unveiling of the Aston Martin DB12! It’s the most iconic and sleek sports car to drive through the French Riviera with. It’s all about beauty, incredible craftsmanship, and a whole lot of luxury. It’s definitely a car with a lot of va-va-voom! This was such a star-studded night during the Cannes Film Festival at the very glamorous Hotel du Cap-Eden Roc. It was the perfect night to bring out this incredible Rasario sequin purple piece. This dress in Antibes with Aston Martin was just the most perfect combination.

HACIENDA Patrón

Team Suarez and I went from Guadalajara out to the Highlands of Jalisco. HACIENDA PATRÓN was our destination and I couldn’t have been happier for a week of tequila and sunshine. Mexico holds a special place in my heart. I love hearing everyone speak Spanish. I love the incredible, spicy food. I love being close to my roots and diving into my culture. Jalisco was absolutely beautiful, from the city to the agave fields. I was clearly very inspired by the Mexican decor: soft pink walls and antique furniture. I couldn’t put my camera down. It’s vibrant, just like the city’s people. To experience the story of PATRÓN at their home base was a total joy. It was one giant party. We spend an afternoon in the distillery. We had a tasting with the master distiller. We had a mariachi band surprise us at dinner with some spectacular singing and dancing. We sang karaoke all night (apparently, it’s a tradition in the Hacienda!). I had the most amazing tacos of my entire life. HACIENDA PATRÓN is an invite-only, absolutely beautiful destination right at the distillery, where each agave is cut and turned into the highest quality tequila there is. I discovered my favorite bottle: PATRÓN EL ALTO. It has a smooth and sweet taste with caramel, dried fruit, and vanilla aromas. The creation of each hand-bottled PATRÓN is definitely an art, that has a lot of love and soul behind it. I’ll miss nights sipping a cocktail at the Copper Bar in the Hacienda. The sunsets were just magic and you can just smell the earth out there. I still have to pinch myself that I got to experience it with Dylana as sisters. I’m so thankful. It’s amazing where work gets to take us, usually to the most unexpected of places. I can’t wait to share with you where we’re going next, but it’s going to be incredible.

WHAT I PACKED FOR BUDAPEST FASHION WEEK

This is what I packed for Budapest Central European Fashion Week. Metallic suiting. Lace jumpsuits. Ribbed dresses. Tailored Sets. Super luxurious eveningwear. The trip began by pulling up to the very beautiful Botaniq Castle in Tura, Hungary as it started snowing. It felt like a scene from a movie. I’m in love with the blue carpeting and draping in my room. This castle turned hotel was the perfect place to decompress after the long flight before a full weekend of runway shows and presentations. To prepare for a very busy weekend, the team and I spent a lot of time in the spa. From there, we made our way to Verno House in the central city, our home base for the fashion week. It was incredible to see both the old and new Budapest with both locations. I was so inspired by all the architecture. Verno House is modern and sleek and right smack in the middle of the city. We had back to back shows that honestly felt like a party…they were so fun. It was definitely a breath of fresh air! I have a few Budapest Fashion Week favorites: Cukovy for super chic winter après ski looks and AERON for everyday city essentials made with incredible fabrics. I am so grateful for this very unique experience. I can’t wait to revisit this part of the world one day.
