‘I won’t go into details, but certainly the year with the most changes.
“I’m not sure why, but I just feel like 2024 is going to be our year and there’s going to be a lot of positivity out of it and I’m so excited and ready for it!” she added.
‘Some ‘work days’ are when I have to travel for work, and I also make a ‘vacation’ of it: Miami, London, Paris, Venice, Ibiza, Frankfurt, NYC, Greece’.
In another post, she looked back at what she was doing in 2023, including filming her first TV show, moving and designing hotels in Paris and Bali.
She also proudly shared how she completed major projects in Miami, the Hamptons and NYC, and rode horses in the ocean.
Dara’s son Wolfie made his first appearance at a royal engagement in December, performing during Kate Middleton’s Christmas carol.
Wolfie then swapped real princesses for fairytale princesses on a Disney cruise ship with his mother, architect Dara Huang, 40, reports Richard Eden.
The two then joined Dara’s family in Florida, where she grew up.

Last Christmas Wolfie stayed in Norfolk with his stepmother Bea, father, property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and his half-sister Sienna, two.
Previously kept out of the public eye, Wolfie proudly walked hand-in-hand with Beatrice into Westminster Abbey last month.
Beatrice has previously described Wolfie as a ‘bonus child’, while Sarah Ferguson calls him her grandson.
Last year he accompanied the King and Queen as they walked to church at Sandringham on Christmas Day.
Dara Huang was engaged to interior designer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 39, before marrying the king’s cousin Princess Beatrice, 34.
Miss Huang was born and raised in America, where her maternal grandfather had emigrated from Taiwan. Last year she was granted British citizenship.
The Harvard-educated architect who grew up in Florida, earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida and transferred to the Ivy League school for her Masters in Architecture.

Edoardo was previously engaged to Dara for three and a half years before they split in 2018, a year before he proposed to Princess Beatrice.
Due to the pandemic, Beatrice and Edoardo married on July 17, 2020 in a low-key ceremony at the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor, with the Queen and Prince Philip present and Wolfie acting as best man. .
Beatrice and Edoardo had their daughter Sienna Elizabeth in September last year. Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s first-born daughter Beatrice gave birth to 2.5kg daughter Sienna at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London at 11.42pm.
Edo and Dara share custody of their son Christopher Woolf – known as Wolfie – and Dara is said to remain on good terms with her ex and his wife, who is a hands-on stepmother.
When Beatrice married property developer Edo in 2020, she became the first royal stepparent among the young generation of royals.
Miss Huang has previously expressed relief that the seven-year-old will be educated in Britain rather than America, where she fears he could have become yet another victim of a school shooting.
“I’m glad my son doesn’t go to school in the US,” Dara declared online. “I can sleep at night knowing he won’t die at his desk tomorrow morning.”
