to experiment with trends, but I always

try to ensure my outfits look timeless and

elegant. Accessories are a key attribute of

mine whether it’s a pretty bow, chic bag or

statement earrings – they always put the

finishing touch on any outfit.

SPA TIME

VL: I love Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong’s

signature spa therapies, especially the

Chinese Herbal Steam. Inside the steam

room I can clear my mind while the Chinese

herbal scent enhances my immune system.

SUPREME STAY

VL: Bulgari Bali, where we enjoyed their

private sandy beach. The tram ride to the

beach was breathtaking and we got there

early so it felt like we owned the beach.

APPETITE FOR

VL: Torre d’Alta Mar in Barcelona. I love the

whole experience and their tasting menu,

which is full of surprises.

TOP SPOT

VL: Anywhere where I can escape for

a while, ideally with my husband and

without a Wi-Fi connection. Igloo Village

Kakslauttanen, Finland is a personal

highlight!

High Flyer

WARDROBE ESSENTIALS

VL: Minimalistic, smart and at times, quirky.

HOT RIGHT NOW

VL: The Tumi Voyageur Leather Halle

Backpack is one of my wardrobe staples.

It effortlessly raises the style stakes of any

outfit, while allowing me to go about my

daily life with minimum fuss. I love the

padded 12” laptop compartment sleeve,

which I can easily slip my laptop into, as

well as the two exterior pockets for quick

and easy access to my phone and keys.

DON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT

VL: My laptop, an eye mask and my passport

of course!

SMELLS LIKE

VL: Hermes, Galop d’Hermès. I love the

dusky, woody, leathery scent and the

concept of a recycled bottle filled.

BEAUTY REGIME

VL: Start your day by washing your face with

lukewarm lemon water and giving yourself

a five-minute aloe vera facial.

MY LOOK

VL: My personal style takes inspiration

from the past, present and future. I like

FOLLOWING INTUITION

VL: When you don’t know anyone, you can

explore and discover more about your inner

thoughts. Always seek something different

and your trip will be memorable. The best

compass/map for me is my gut feeling. I like

to get lost to find my own way out.

DESERT ISLAND ITEM

VL: Ideally I’d take my husband!

But if I had to choose an item, I would

bring a huge bag of seeds so I can

grow something to eat and start

a life there.
