I like things I can’t really afford but nothing overtly expensive looking. “Are these earrings $50 or $500? Who knows!” is the vibe.

I’m all about luxury in all its forms, from comfy chill to unapologetically drop dead glam.

I like non-fiction books about pop cultural moments and facials that leave me feeling chill long after the service is over. My style is minimal but with feminine flourishes and a bit of edge. Think delicate jewellery, bows, pointy toe shoes and a cashmere sweater with a Trump diss embroidered in a cursive font.

I’m really into preserving right now, whether it be the clothes that I already own, food that I don’t want to go to waste and even myself. Investing in quality things that I will keep for a long time is really important to me right now, and I think gifts that embody that are really special.
