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.
