From shoes to skincare, totes to tech, here are five items the New Zealand shoe designer can't live without.

We asked the influential businesswoman, shoe designer, and friend of FQ, Kathryn Wilson, to share the five items she’ll be using and wearing all summer long. 

1. My go-to sandal

The MW by Kathryn Wilson ‘Zoe’ slide is my current go-to shoe. It’s such an effortless soft leather style to slip on with dresses and denim, taking my look from daytime chic to evening glam. ‘Zoe’ is available in various gorgeous colourways, including black, stone, khaki, rose, and lilac. 

2. Skin saviour

The Dermalogica SkinPerfect Primer is my favourite skincare product. It goes everywhere with me in my handbag! It’s a tinted primer with SPF and provides enough coverage to wear throughout the day without any make-up. I just love it.

3. Where function meets form

With a large foldable screen that opens and closes like a book, the Samsung Z Fold3 5G device has quickly made its way into my ‘can’t live withouts’. Its display is perfect for photos, video calls, and answering emails. Impressively, when closed, it takes up the same space as a regular phone!

4. Shimmer and shine

You can’t go wrong with something beautiful and feminine for your everyday wear when it comes to jewellery. My Boh Runga ‘Stellar Rose’ earrings are exactly that, and are a firm staple in this season’s wardrobe. 

5. Just the essentials

I use the Kathryn Wilson ‘LouLou’ tote in gold metallic and lilac pebble on rotation each day to carry my essentials. It’s such a great size for a carry-all bag that can fit everything for the office and the kids’ playdates!
