PHOTOS BY AMANDA KHO

Stella Jean print top
I like discovering and supporting new designers. This Haitian-Italian designer's beautiful prints reflect her heritage.

Gold Christian Lacroix earrings
I found these in a vintage store during my last trip to Paris. My mother is a big part of why I have been collecting jewellery from the 1980s and '90s.
Vintage Chanel bag
A gift from my grandmother, this bag is probably as old as I am. I love the soft lambskin leather and the beautiful classic Chanel gold chain.
Franc Franc Bambi pillow
This is a gift from my best friend and business partner, Joyce. We run a casual label called the Lavishers, but she still gives me gifts without occasion.
Gracie Studio wallpaper
I ordered this wallpaper from New York while researching for my new apartment four years ago. Meticulously hand-painted wallpaper that's so beautiful, romantic and soothing for the eyes.
