### *1. The Party Piece* 

“The one piece high on my wish list this summer is the Marlies Grace [Rosemund set](https://marliesgrace.com/products/rosamund-mini-skirt). 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](https://louloudesaison.com/en/ready-to-wear/liz/) and [Petros slip-ons](https://louloudesaison.com/en/ready-to-wear/petros/) – 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](https://marliesgrace.com/collections/dresses/products/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](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=35663&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mytheresa.com%2Fgb%2Fen%2Fwomen%2Floewe-medium-leather-trimmed-basket-tote-neutrals-p00302459); they’re perfect for carrying everything I need. For the evening, the wooden [Marlies Grace clutch](https://marliesgrace.com/collections/bags/products/marlies-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](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=35663&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mytheresa.com%2Fgb%2Fen%2Fwomen%2Fceline-eyewear-lexor-miami-cat-eye-sunglasses-gold-p00976839).”

### *7. The Investment Piece*

“Fine jewellery is a passion of mine and I really enjoy investing in luxury brands.[ Bulgari](https://www.bulgari.com/de-ch/schmuck/ringe/b-zero1-ring-rosegold-wei%C3%9Fgold-gelbgold-352919), [Patek](https://www.patek.com/en) and [Cartier](https://www.cartier.com/en-cz/tank-francaise-watch_cod44733502651447146.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com) are all classics but they always manage to feel fresh too. I currently have my eye on a Bulgari [B.zero1 3-band-ring](https://www.bulgari.com/en-gb/product/B-zero1-3-bands-AN857652) and Cartier's [Tank Française watch](https://www.cartier.com/en-gb/tank-francaise-watch_cod1647597348582109.html)."

### *8. The Carry-Ons* 

“I’m a seasoned traveller, and I always travel with two [Rimowa](https://www.rimowa.com/gb/en/home) suitcases. My tarot cards and an LED mask from [Dr. Dennis Gross](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=22773&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.co.uk%2Fp%2FDr-Dennis-Gross-DRx-Spectralite-FaceWare-Pro-454g%3Fq%3Ddr%2Bdennis%26q_typ%3Df) 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](https://selfridges.prf.hn/click/camref:1100loTp9/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.selfridges.com%2FGB%2Fen%2Fproduct%2Fhermes-rouge-hermes-matte-lipstick-35g_R04063807%2F) is a favourite.”

### *10. The Beauty Tool* 

“111SKIN [masks](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=22773&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.co.uk%2Fp%2F111-SKIN-Cryo-De-Puffing-Facial-Mask-Energizing-Eye-Mask-150ml) and [eye pads](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=22773&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.co.uk%2Fp%2F111-SKIN-Cryo-De-Puffing-Eye-Mask-Anti-Tiredness-Eye-Mask-48ml%3Fq%3D111skin%2Bmask%26q_typ%3Df) 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](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=15728&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.skinceuticals.com%2Fskincare%2Fsunscreens%2Fphysical-fusion-uv-defense-sunscreen-spf-50%2FS54.html), 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](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=47916&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dior.com%2Fen_gb%2Fbeauty%2Fproducts%2Fambre-nuit-Y0958160.html) 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* ](https://amzn.to/4523tpn)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](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=36666&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harrods.com%2Fen-gb%2Fp%2Fbaccarat-set-2-massena-coupes-000000000005731811). 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](https://www.mandarinoriental.com/en/) 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.”
