Think about the details

“I love playing with proportions. For instance, I’ll combine a voluminous top with slim pants, or wide-leg pants with a playful top. And no outfit is ever complete without jewelry or a nice watch. That being said, keep it simple and don’t overload your look with too many accessories. If your earrings are eye-catching, choose a simple necklace, or don’t wear one at all. The Row is my go-to brand when it comes to bags and shoes. The timeless designs and unique color and texture combinations make it a staple in my wardrobe.”

Focus on self-care

“I spent most of 2020 at home – this change in lifestyle definitely had an impact on the way I dress. I’ve been drawn to cozy fabrics and earthy tones. Lockdown also gave me more time to focus on my skincare routine. My favorite new addition to my regimen has to be the Celestial Black Diamond Eye Mask from 111Skin, which instantly depuffs while lightening any dark bags you might have. The Rose Gold Brightening Treatment Mask will also elevate any at-home pamper session. I’m excited to try out some other awesome products from the brand this year.”

Be smart with your layers

“While my summer aesthetic is pared-back and clean, I love to play with layers during the cold winter months. It’s the most practical and stylish way to stay warm and cozy. Totême’s alpaca coat is my most-worn piece this season; it’s tailored and minimal, with a softened wrap-style front, which makes it look very chic yet relaxed. You can pair it with jeans day to day or layer it over a little black dress for special occasions.”

Break the rules

“Don’t be afraid to try something new – as long as you keep experimenting with different styles, you’ll eventually come into your own. Every new season, I invest in a couple of key statement pieces. My fashion idol is Liu Wen – she infuses every one of her outfits with her own individual charisma. This is what true style means to me. Avoid following rigid rules; instead, wear what makes you feel comfortable and confident. Let the clothes become part of you. The truth is that whenever I worry too much about what other people might think, the look falls short.”

Hydration and SPF are key

Sunscreen and a good moisturizer are my beauty go-tos – countless skin problems and irritations are caused by a lack of hydration and sun protection. I also recommend taking vitamin supplements, drinking plenty of water and sticking to a regular sleep schedule. Over time, you’ll start observing the changes in your skin.”
