Leather boots with metal studs, price unavailable, Dolce & Gabbana
“First on my to-do list for 2016: have fun with fashion (after relying on all-black basics for too long).

Katachi, $16, Books Kinokuniya
“Since it was first published in 1999, this book by photographer Takeji Iwamiya is always sold out. Filled with poetic images of everyday objects in Japanese culture, it’s like a palate cleanser for my brain. I finally got my own copy recently, and it has been inspiring me daily ever since.” – Rebecca Cecilia Yip, designer
