PRESS TRIP

“I spent a week backpacking in the Rockies outside of Aspen last August – the real “leave-no-trace” type of backpacking above 11,000 ft., where civilization is more than a days hike away. I packed an array of high-tech North Face gear, including dry-fit pants/shirts, an authentic Swiss made Sigg water bottle, a brand new REI tent, plenty of warm socks and of course my Dior Glossy oversized sunglasses.”

“Last summer I went to Ireland with my fiancé, Tom Negovan and his entire family. I thought I was on top of things and packed a European adaptor for my straightening iron, but it didn’t work. So I had to find the only electronics store in a tiny fishing town called Skerries and buy their lone hair straightener. We wound up raiding the racks at Top Shop, a cheap and trendy store that’s a lot like H&M. My favorite piece was an emerald green Kate Moss for Top Shop strapless dress that I bough for 40 Euro ($60). To this day, just seeing it in my closet brings me back to the streets of Dublin.
