1. The Power Piece

Our own Hamal peep toe slingback heels give the perfect lift to even the most casual outfit.

2. The Shoes

I alternate between flats and heels, but I like to keep things effortless. I am currently living in our new Uba flats, which dress up every outfit. Come evening, I love the controlled chaos of the bows on our Auriga heels.

3. The Denim

I’ve recently opted for a raw indigo baggy jean from Proenza Schouler. They are fitted at the waist yet have a baggy leg, which I find flattering. I always size up so they sit lower on the hips.

4. The Jacket

I’ve wish-listed the worn brown leather jacket from Saint Laurent – it’s a great statement piece with literally any outfit.

5. The Tailoring

I love a mismatched suit – like pleat-front trousers with an oversized jacket – to add an element of cool to a serious work look. NET-A-PORTER has a great selection from The Row, like this blazer and these classic straight trousers.

6. The Dress

I bought a black strapless midi dress from The Row a few seasons ago. It is a perfect transitional piece, skimming the body to go with flats and a jacket by day or with heels in the evening.

7. The Bag

Our new Pavo 2.0 is a medium-size shoulder bag for days on the go. For evening, I carry the Dorado 1.0 which goes discreetly under the shoulder and fits all the essentials.

8. The Jewellery

I’m obsessed with Dévé – Estelle has a beautiful eye. I recently bought the Red Jasper Statement Necklace. The red is perfect with all my neutrals.

9. The Sunglasses

I always wear Port Tanger because its shapes are unique and understated, yet cool.

10. The Holdall

I am currently traveling with our new  Aries bag in suede. It fits everything for a weekend away or for a short work trip, including a laptop. I love the inlet in the base which allows you to hold it as a clutch.

11. The Beauty Essential

I wear very little make-up but invest in skincare. I started using the Reome Active Recovery Broth last year and recently bought its new Firming Eye Treatment.

12. The Beauty Tool

If I don't wear anything else, I am always sure to brush my eyebrows using the Refy Brow Sculpt, and apply a light bronzer or blush with the Guerlain Powder Brush.

13. The Suncare Hero

I’m currently using the 111Skin Repair Sunscreen. It’s super light and leaves a lovely sheer finish on the skin.

14. The Scent

Sweet Do Nothing by D.S. & Durga hits the same notes as an earthy Australian summer and reminds me of home.

15. The Podcast

I shift between the Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett and Jay Shetty’s On Purpose. Both I find have broad topics, so I pick a the ones I find most relatable. Some are very motivational, and other episodes make you rethink your whole life.

16. The Book

I read Outline by Rachel Cusk when I was in Australia over Christmas. I adore Rachel’s writing, the conversational tone and the honest portrayed.

17. The Cocktail

A gin martini with a twist. I love the infusion of lemon with gin. Clear spirits are my go-to – I also enjoy a mezcal base white negroni infused with rosemary. 

18. The Tablescaping Essential

I love the duo set from Monologue – perfect when you are serving different wines.

19. The Hotel

I have my eye on the Belmond in Taormina, Sicily. I went there last summer for cocktails at sunset and I’m now desperate to stay there.

20. The Restaurant

Le Duc in Paris is a dream for anyone who loves crudo seafood. I would order the lobster sautéed with orange and the tartare of langoustine.
