“It is so important to smile from head to toe, and my Maysale mules always make me do just that. The vibrant colors and patterns of Maysale are always fun little treasures in each new season, and there’s a heel height for everyone!” Maysale suede kitten heel mule, $795, manoloblahnik.com
“I am quite passionate about wellness on every level, and that includes taking care of my skin. La Prairie is my go-to and is also a favorite of my uncle’s. Their serums are truly the gold standard for skin that feels refreshed and renewed.” La Prairie Pure Gold Radiance Concentrate, $935, laprairie.com/en
“I often take my dog, Poppins, for walks when I am at home in the countryside. It helps me not only stay active in between busy work-from-home days, but also clears my thoughts and motivates me to cross off items on my to-do list. Veralli is the perfect shoe to wear when I want to look sleek but stay comfortable.” Veralli ballet flat, $725, manoloblahnik.com
“I love to take group fitness classes, and always wear something casual and comfortable for the walk home. Susa is the perfect sandal to pop in my bag on my way out the door so that I can still feel put-together while walking through the city after class.” Susa sandal, $845, manoloblahnik.com
“Nothing clears my thoughts and boosts my mental health better than organizing my to-do lists, reminders and important notes all in one place. I never go anywhere without my beloved Smythson notebook in my favorite color, red. Mental health is absolutely essential to overall well-being, and I love to encourage those around me to find what it is that calms their mind. The Mental Health Foundation, whom we work with often, has an incredible resource page for anyone who may be struggling.” Smythson notebook, $78, smythson.com; mental health resources, mentalhealthfoundation.org
“Whenever I travel, I look for the nearest Barry’s Bootcamp class. Keeping up with my wellness routine while in different parts of the world is so helpful to combat any bouts of jet lag I may have, and makes me feel ready to tackle my often very busy schedule.” Barry’s Bootcamp membership, prices vary, barrys.com
