"The weather this year was not super cooperative, but I always make some time to enjoy the balmy temperature, even if that means reading on the covered balcony in my room."

"Next up? Hitting the conference center and endless galleries to soak up as much art as possible like at this preview. Artists of all mediums from around the globe set up shop making it an inspiring and eclectic mix to say the least."

"Here I am co-hosting The Outnet party with The Zoe Report at the W in South Beach. Guests enjoyed catching up over poolside cocktails before hitting the dance floor. I'm wearing a Rachel Zoe Collection dress from her Spring 2016 runway."

"People from all over the world fly in for the events so it is a great time to see far-flung friends. Here is the lunch I enjoyed at the Soho Beach House with artist Alexander Yulish, interior designer Nicole Fuller and footwear designer Amina Muaddi."
