Valextra's Brera messenger bag. I loved it in the showroom six months ago and I still love it now.
My upcoming vacation to Vietnam. I’ll be relaxing on the beach in Da Nang and eating my heart out in Hội An.
An amazing Dries Van Noten vest — my favorite piece from the label's spring '14 collection.

The 20 to 25 mm heel on Esquivel's hand-painted, suede derbys means I can wear them all day long.
The most comfortable item in my closet (besides the Esquivels) is...
6397's loose skinny jeans.
A Bantu swimsuit — especially if it meant I were on a beautiful beach somewhere far, far away.
If the Smithsonian asked me to donate one item that truly represented me, it would be...
A teapot my mother gave me.

La Mer Crème De La Mer, Kevyn Aucoin The Essential Mascara, and By Terry Rose Balm Gloss.
Aesop's classic shampoo. And, every few years, if I’m lucky, I get a bottle of shampoo from the Harmony Hotel in Nosara, Costa Rica. It’s shampoo they only sell there, and the intense pepper in it makes your scalp tingle.
Sensodyne Extra Whitening.
Byredo Palermo. And, in general, I love the smell of yuzu — a Japanese citrus fruit — because it reminds me of home.

I have a pouch system when I travel — different pouches for different things. I’m mindful of the size of the pouch and each one's multi-functional potential. Some that I love, include: Comme des Garçons' patchwork large zip pouch, Valextra's zip pouch, and Reece Hudson's Bowery pouchette.
Hands down, the best purchase I've made abroad...
My best friend and I once ventured to this warehouse on the outskirts of Jaipur and found these beautiful wooden boxes. Nothing was actually for sale, but we convinced the owners to sell two of them to us for a few dollars.
My secret shopping destination is just a hop, skip, and a continent (or two) away...
It's about a 30-minute subway ride from my parent’s apartment in Tokyo.

A Barneys New York onesie for my niece.
ATM Anthony Thomas Melillo brand's rib-knit, long-sleeve T-Shirt is so soft against my skin.
I'm not a denim hoarder, but...
I do love denim, and I go through cycles of about five pairs at any given time. The current rotation includes: R13's cross-over and slouch skinny, 6397's loose skinny, NSF's boyfriend jean, and 1.61's chinos. But, if I had to pick a favorite, it's R13 slouch skinny. And, for fall I’m very excited to try out Simon Miller's women's collection.
I accent with this necklace to make my outfit feel extra special...
I was just telling Jennifer Fisher yesterday that whenever I'm feeling a bit frumpy I accessorize with this choker and somehow I feel a bit more polished — even in jeans and a T-shirt.
