Belma Gaudio’s Hotlist
If there’s one woman who can get you in the mood for sunshine style, it’s Belma Gaudio. An avid lover of travel, Belma founded London-based concept store, Koibird, to celebrate the art of destination dressing and showcase the chicest holiday-ready pieces from emerging designers around the world. As you’d expect, her personal aesthetic is bright, bold and joyful. Plus, she always knows exactly what to pack for a trip away. Here are the pieces currently topping her wish list.
Oroton
Butterfly Print Silk Shirt£325
“I always need some nice tops to throw on when I’m in a hurry to get dressed (which is always). This butterfly-print silk shirt is a great summer option for slightly more serious meetings, such as at my kids’ school or at the office, without sacrificing playfulness. Easy for a lunch with a friend, too, with some off-white jeans.”
Marina Raphael
Porter Bag£805
“This is an elevated version of a beach bag for me, while still being low-maintenance and super-easy to wipe off. For summer in the city, but also beach destinations, I like how elegant and modern it feels.”
MAYGEL CORONEL
Capri One Piece£225
“Pink and ruffled, what else can I say? An instant win for me. And super-comfortable fabric.”
SO-LE STUDIO
Doodle Earrings£270
“I love a unique piece of jewellery, and these do it for me. From the twisted gold to the neon orange colour, it’s a very contemporary addition to my jewellery selection.”
Kika Vargas
Ofelia Dress£650
“Generally speaking, I’m not a floral-print kinda gal, but I find this Kika dress really artsy, and cool due to its slightly oversized shape, exaggerated size, and contemporary-art feel of the flowers. Summer wedding or dinner plans are sorted with this dress.”
Uklash
For Longer & Fuller Lashes£49
“This eyelash serum really works. I have tried so many on the market as I tend to not wear any make-up these days, and this makes my eye lashes long and dark, so I don’t need to put on mascara.”
Luisa Longo
Light Flux Placemats & Napkins£220
“If you want to add a little Koibird flair to your home, this is the table set to do it with. Fun, pink and arty is what I love on a table.”
Larroudé
Miso Platform Sandals£230
“A great summer platform that goes with pretty much anything.”
Regime des Fleurs
Thaleia Artefacts Candle£85
“I love floral scents, and this candle is a very beautiful, minimal addition to any interior.”
Moreup
Pop It Phone Case for iPhone£8.95
“Everyone asks me where I got this pop-it phone case – it’s such a hit!”
Jones Road
The Face Pencil£19.95
“The best camouflage for on the go. It covers the under-eye area, blemishes and discolouration in a precise way, and is super-easy to slip into even the tiniest of handbags.”
Oura
Ring Generation 3£264.25
“I got into the Oura ring a few months ago due to bad sleeping habits. It tracks my activity levels as well as my sleep habits, and the quality of my sleep and my heart rate. While I’m not obsessed with tracking the results, it does make me more mindful about going to bed at the right time and working on my sleep.”
Miranda Cowley Heller
The Paper Palace: A Novel£10.59
“I really enjoyed this book and couldn’t put it down. It’s a great holiday read.”
Dr Lara Devgan
Retinol + Bakuchiol Serum£265
“I love this plant-based retinol serum. It really works as my whole face gets very dry, tight and flaky, but I think it’s because it’s doing its job! So I have to moisturise a lot at the same time.”
