At Home
"When I'm having a lazy day at home, I love a cozy oversized sweater or hoodie and leggings. I like wearing comfortable T-shirts at home as well. A few brands I love are Reformation, RE/DONE, LNA and, of course, Alala. I also love Scandinavian brands like Acne Studios — they really know how to design a great sweater!"

Surfing
"I like to stay comfortable and WARM, so a normal outfit to the beach on a cold winter day is a cozy Patagonia fleece, comfortable jeans and UGGs. To stay warm IN the water, I have a R4 Patagonia wetsuit with hood, mittens and booties."

"Jeans, T-shirt and a sweater is my go-to. I'm very easy and simple. The brand I specifically love is NOMIA. I also actually really love shopping at Zara for work outfits. I work in a creative environment — my colleagues have become a few of my closest friends, so there is no need to 'dress up.'"

At the Gym
"I wear Alala x May Kwok, of course! The colorblock set has a thick, high-waisted band that really holds you tight. If you want to go for a more badass, cool look, I would recommend the leather/mesh fabric blocking set. I especially love the open back on the sports bra!"

Out to Dinner
"These days, my favorite outfit to wear to dinner is a thick turtleneck sweater, skinny jeans, large hoop earrings and I always like a great statement coat. My current favorite is this Sandy Liang Mingo Coat."
