1. The Party Piece 

“The one piece high on my wish list this summer is the Marlies Grace Rosemund set. I know it will instantly update my wardrobe and become a true power player this season.”

2. The Shoe  

“I’m a flats person through and through. This summer, I’ll also be living in shoes from Loulou de Saison, in particular the Liz and Petros slip-ons – chic but practical.”

3. The Swimwear 

“My favourite pieces of swimwear are the Ischia set and the Taormina, both of which are new for SS26. I love the freedom and femininity of a beautifully cut two-piece. We're just finalising production, so they'll both be available later this year.”

4. The Dress 

“For a seamless day-to-night transition, I love the Marlies Grace Lou dress – it’s so versatile, which is why it’s coming everywhere with me this summer.”

5. The Bag

“At this time of year, I tend to use a lot of basket bags from brands like Loewe; they’re perfect for carrying everything I need. For the evening, the wooden Marlies Grace clutch is elegant and unexpected.”

6. The Sunglasses  

“Celine sunglasses are always slightly edgy but still timeless. In particular, I love the Triomphe Metal 04 cat-eye frames.”

7. The Investment Piece

“Fine jewellery is a passion of mine and I really enjoy investing in luxury brands. Bulgari, Patek and Cartier are all classics but they always manage to feel fresh too. I currently have my eye on a Bulgari B.zero1 3-band-ring and Cartier's Tank Française watch."

8. The Carry-Ons 

“I’m a seasoned traveller, and I always travel with two Rimowa suitcases. My tarot cards and an LED mask from Dr. Dennis Gross always come with me too.” 

9. The Beauty Essential 

“I like to mix my lip colours, so I rarely leave home without at least one lip liner and two lipsticks. The Rouge Hermès lipstick in 20 Satiné Beige D'Automne is a favourite.” 

10. The Beauty Tool 

“111SKIN masks and eye pads are two of my beauty essentials. I apply them every morning during my meditations; you can feel the benefit immediately.” 

11. The Suncare Hero 

Skin Ceuticals 50SPF Physical Fusion, which is a tinted fluid, is a miracle product for me. It's lightweight, easy to apply and full of minerals that are good for your skin.”

12. The Scent 

“For years, I’ve been committed to wearing Ambre Nuit from Dior. I've been wearing the same fragrances for decades; I really feel like they’ve become a part of my personality.” 

13. The Podcast 

“I love audiobooks for a bit of self-development. My favourite at the moment is Becoming Supernatural by Dr. Joe Dispenza.”

14. The Tablescaping Tip 

“I love to host but I also keep things simple with white tableware and Baccarat crystal champagne coupes. I like a timeless, elegant aesthetic that lends itself to any kind of gathering.”

15. The Bucket List Hotel 

“I’ve set my sights on the legendary Mandarin Oriental in Bangkok. It's on the Chao Phraya River, has the most beautiful spa and was once frequented by the likes of Elizabeth Taylor and Grace Kelly. It's definitely on my bucket list.”
