Q. Where is the most romantic destination?

A. Positano is one of the most romantic places in the world. My boyfriend and I were there this summer. We stayed at one of the most gorgeous hotels, Villa TreVille, with the most incredible views and the food was amazing. Such a cute little romantic town.

Q. When you've gone away for the holidays, which was the best trip?

A. My favorite place is Aspen. I love spending the holidays up in the mountains in the snow. It makes me feel even more in the holiday spirit to be in that type of weather. I love snowboarding every morning and going for hot chocolate at the top of the mountain. I am a huge tomboy, so I love activities like that.

Q. What are your five favorite cities?

A. Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris, Las Vegas.

Q. When you go away, what are some of your must-have items?

A. I always need my iPhones, computer, my music and my dog, Diamond Baby, and my new Rosé Rush fragrance.

Q. What would be your dream trip?

A. To go to any romantic island like, the Maldives or Bora Bora, and go on fun adventures with my boyfriend.

Q. What is your guilty pleasure when you're on the road?

A. Candy, especially the chocolate in Europe. I love anything that's sweet.

Q. What kind of research do you do before you go away on a trip?

A. The first thing I do is check the weather and also see what kind of outdoor activities they have, so I can pack the right shoes and clothes for the trip. I always like to be super prepared, so that I can pack everything that I need.
