Beyond the vacation, the star has recently opened up about her evolving personal style and priorities. In a May interview with the U.S. edition of ELLE magazine, Lohan said, "I've always been comfort-focused. If I'm not comfortable in it, I'm not going to put it on. That's always been a big thing for me."

Lohan continues, "With time, maybe I've become a bit more modest. I'm not as comfortable risking certain things. But it depends. If it's a nice dinner date with my husband, I want to feel sexy and look nice. And then my daywear is more casual, usually. But when I'm in New York, I like to dress because I'm in New York."

The actress also opened up about her lifestyle as a mother and the pressures of being in the public eye, particularly in Los Angeles. "It's hard in Los Angeles. Even taking my son to the park in Los Angeles, I get stressed. I'm like, 'Are there cameras?'"

"In New York, there's no worry; no one bothers us. Everyone has their own thing going on. There's a different kind of energy in New York. I'd rather have downtime in New York than I would in Los Angeles."
