A little bit about me: 

❤️ fashion/shopping
❤️ swimming
I dream of opening a library with a spa and boutique attached to it. 
I love my mom and dad. I also love my family, cousins and last but not least, my helper Joy.
I am an only child, so I am the princess of the house. I have a dog named Ling Ling, she think's she's a princess too. 
I live on the Upper East Side but I also have a summer house in Connecticut where I go on vacation.
