A little visual photo diary from The Gleneagles Townhouse in the center of Edinburgh, Scotland during my stay for a recent project with Aston Martin! We had a ton of press events to get through, so I wore looks that matched the old school elegance of this place. Crisp whites, colorful blazers, and a touch of sparkle. We had mornings on the road for the Aston Martin DBX707 launch and super late evenings out sipping glasses of Scottish whisky. There was beauty everywhere we turned. I left Edinburgh thinking I could absolutely live here.

OFF ROADING IN SCOTLAND WITH THE ASTON MARTIN DBX707
Working with Aston Martin is always a dream come true! Last year, I joined the team for an iconic and glamorous Cannes Film Festival and for this year’s launch of the Aston Martin DBX707 SUV, the team and I headed out to the countryside of Edinburgh, Scotland to off road and really immerse ourselves in this luxurious new style. The DBX707 comes in super bold and chic colorways that really pop against the lush green landscapes of Scotland. Think deep reds, lime greens, and a rich orange. We threw on our wellies, cozied up in wool blankets with hot cups of coffee by our tent, and headed out to off road through the hills and mud of the beautiful Scottish countryside. I put the pedal to the metal on our drive. I was screaming, it was so much fun. By the time my drive was over, my car was covered in mud. It’s amazing what this car can do. There’s just so much power. Along our drive, we made a few stops at The Gleneagles Hotel. It was so charming that it was only natural to turn it into a full photoshoot, even in the pink powder room. For this trip, I wore a lot of great suiting, tweed sets, and fancy evening dresses. Surrounded by so much elegance, all you want to do is play dress up.
THE CENTRAL PARK SUITE

I loved having the Central Park Suite at the Mandarin Oriental as my home base this past week for work. Waking up early to a crispy stroll through Central Park with a coffee is the best feeling ever. It feels like the center of the world up here.
HO CHI MINH CITY!
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam was my favorite part of my Southeast Asia trip. The motorbikes and energy are just so addicting. It’s a city that really never stops going. There’s nothing better than pho and bánh mì at any time of day. The family and I stayed at two very beautiful hotels. Le Meridien Saigon is just steps from the center city and turns into one giant party every evening. Vinpearl Landmark 81 was super elegant and has the most incredible views of all of Saigon. Both had something special that I loved. I woke up excited for every single day here. A little chaos is needed.
