It was a whirlwind few days in New York City before I headed overseas – getting in some Christmas adventures, shooting some final work projects, going to events and unpacking to repack! I’m now back in Paris with a jam packed few days ahead of me and am looking forward to sharing more from my trip with you all on Instagram and Tiktok!
