Situated in the Big Apple as she gets to work on a brand new project, Jessica Simpson was spotted leaving Dos Caminos restaurant in New York's Soho district on Thursday (June 25).

Carrying her pet pooch Daisy in a Louis Vuitton pet carrier, the "Dukes of Hazzard" damsel looked in high spirits as she left following her Mexican meal.

As for her new work duties, Jess has landed a new show called “The Price of Beauty,” which will follow her on a trip around the world in search of different views on what’s beautiful.

“I have always believed that beauty comes from within and confidence will always make a woman beautiful, but I know how much pressure some women put on themselves to look perfect,” Simpson said in a statement.

The 28-year-old continues, “I am really looking forward to discovering how beauty is perceived in different cultures and participating in some of the crazy things people do to feel beautiful. I know we will all learn a lot on this journey and I am so excited that VH1 is coming along on what I’m sure will be a wild ride.”
