Harper’s BAZAAR steps into the chic abodes of this year’s league of well-dressed women for an intimate tête-à-tête about their indulgent buys, wardrobe secrets and everything else in-between.

What is your first memory of fashion?
I think every girl loves Disney Princesses; I know I sure did. Whenever we travelled, my parents would always bring me to a Disney store and I loved buying princess costumes! Obviously, I gladly slipped into them immediately, and I have photo albums to prove it.
Describe your shopping personality.
I am part impulse buyer, part hoarder, and part stocker. If I love something sartorial, I buy it in multiple colours and prints; and for things like beauty products, I get them in bulk. I don’t like realising that I’m on my last bottle of my favourite body wash, for example, and don’t spare a second before topping up my stash.
How has your style evolved?
I don’t wear jeans as much anymore; but I still absolutely love tailored, textured blazers, and have always dressed according to my mood. I find myself contrasting feminine silhouettes with masculine watches more than ever now, too.
Who are your style icons?
It has always been Olivia Palermo. I just love how she can take almost anything and make it look so effortlessly elegant—even a classic sweatshirt-and-sneakers street style combo looks elevated when it’s her in it.
What is your ultimate beauty secret?
Masking. Whenever I travel, if I need to prep my skin for a big event, or simply when my skin is parched, my go-to beauty treat is SK-II’s Facial Treatment Masks.
