This week, Leila Kashanipour is sharing her packing list as she prepares to head to the luxurious Swiss ski resort of St Moritz. Her priority?

This Dries Van Noten bag is gorgeous and packs really well.
GIGI BURRIS
Lauren Silk-Blend Velvet Pillbox Hat
I’ve been wearing these kinds of pillbox-style hats for the past year and a half, and I plan to wear this gorgeous Gigi Burris crushed velvet one to go and dine at Suvretta’s Grand Restaurant.

Catherine Black Woven Boots
These are an essential, with a really cool Bottega-esque feel and a good rubber grip sole which is perfect for the snowy, icy weather.

I’m obsessed with Hermès bandana print scarves. They’re classic and keep the warmth. This is a similar style, that’s a bit thinner, and perfect for wearing with jeans.

Unlocked Soft Matte Lipstick
I get a lot of compliments about this lipstick—it’s the shade ‘Foxglove’.
Polo Ralph Lauren
Metal Accent Leather Belt
This Ralph Lauren belt is definitely coming with me.

This eel-embossed leather clutch from Liffner is a really nice price point, and fits tonnes.

Babylon Kill Diamond Earring in 18k White Gold
I love mismatched earrings, so I’ll wear this gorgeous trillion diamond piece on one ear.

Coco Crush Asymmetrical Earrings
Wearing these on my upper ear is always a winner.
This Nars palette is really gorgeous, with creamy natural soft tones. It’s in the shade ‘Orgasm’.

I get lots of questions about sunglasses—these are super classic, I love them.
Hermès
Collier de Chien bracelet
I have an archival version of this piece with silver hardware, and it’s just a great accessory to have with you.
Dries Van Noten
Havana Gold Perfume
This is my current favourite scent. If you like notes of amber, musk, tobacco, something quite woody, you’ll love this.
