1. The Party Piece
A Cartier Crash watch is high on my wish list. Its unique and timeless design would really elevate my style. I could see myself wearing it with a tailored suit, or equally dressing it down with a t-shirt, jeans and a pair of sneakers.
2. The Everyday Combo
On warmer days, I like to wear a bikini with shorts on top, tortoiseshell sunglasses and a linen shirt kept open. I also love an oversized Deus t-shirt – laid-back and perfect for summer.
3. The Colour
Dark green is my favourite colour, however I’m currently loving dark cherry red. Glossy red kitten heels paired with oversized jeans and a dark red Jackie Gucci bag seems to be trending and I’m loving it as a look.
4. The Shoe
I’m a fan of flats. Right now, I’m living in a pair of leather Gucci mules – not very practical for the beach but perfect for a London summer.
5. The Swimwear
This season, I’m wearing a bikini that I designed for a capsule collection in collaboration with Ninefoot. It’s designed for active lifestyles, made using recycled lycra in Bali, and combines quality with sustainability and style.
6. The Activewear
Because I love skiing and fashion, Moncler and Perfect Moment are two of my go-to brands. My Moncler outfit has kept me warm through hours of heliskiing and powder skiing.
7. The Bag
Day to day, I use my Louis Vuitton Graceful PM, which has seen quite a bit of action – from being drenched in sea water to motorcycle rides. In the evenings, I like Polène bags, which have fun shapes and designs. On holiday, I tend to opt for a cotton tote bag.
8. The Brand
At the moment, I’m really into Almada Label for knitwear – the pieces are excellent quality and the cuts are good. The brand Pervert has some of my favourite going-out pieces, such as the tuxedo shirt with the cut-out back and I currently have my eyes on a signature curved jacket from the brand Recto.
9. The Jewellery
I’m currently loving Seb Brown’s segment rings and some stunning crocodile earrings from Bibi Van Der Velden. When it comes to jewellery, I love imperfect and asymmetrical, raw looking designs so I recently acquired some Eroz Stud Earrings from Polène that emulate that look.
10. The Beach Cover-Up
For beach cover-ups, I love my dark green Margaret Howell shirt. It’s perfect for layering over a bikini and works for other activities like lunch.

11. The Beauty Essential
I don’t wear much make-up, but when I do, I use the U Beauty Plasma Lip Compound in Sunset for a subtle hint of colour.
12.The Suncare Hero
When I’m surfing, I rely on Zinc Bali’s zinc sunscreen. It provides excellent protection on my face and lasts for hours.
13. The Summer Scent
I’ve been wearing Padre by MA|LO this season. It has a warm yet musky feel to it that I really enjoy.
14. The Getaway
I’ve been having a Euro summer, starting in the French Riviera for the Grand Prix, then Tuscany and Barcelona for the America’s cup, ending in the Balearic Islands. I enjoy being near the water, swimming as much as possible, soaking up the sun, riding and reading a good book.
15. The Wellness Escape
My favourite escape is always Indonesia. I love going to the remote islands and disconnecting from the world. I surf, drink coconut water and try to relax.
16. The Activity
I started horseback riding a year ago and absolutely love it. The connection with the horse and the thrill of riding is something I had never experienced before. I ride regularly in the UK and try to go on hacks whenever I can.
17. The Adventure Holiday
My favourite thing I have ever done has been heliskiing in Zermatt. That was a dream come true and I cannot wait to do it again this season.
18. The Book
I was recently told by my friends to read Sapiens and after I finished that I chose to read Taxtopia which was incredibly well written and witty. I could not put it down.
19. The Al Fresco Set-Up
I always love going to Chiltern Firehouse and ordering the vodka pasta. It’s a classic. Cocktail-wise, I always go for a spicy margarita. It’s my favourite summer drink.
