WHAT THE FEMALE TEAM IS INTO NOW

1 Archi Dior 22K rose gold ring with diamonds, price unavailable, Dior  
“Lately, I’ve been thinking that my jewellery collection needs to grow up, and am completely charmed by how this is high on the glamour quotient, without losing its modern edge.” NOELLE LOH, editor

2 Comme des Garcons Dot EDP, $206, Escentials    
“This sensuous oriental fragrance won me over with its notes of osmanthus, bitter orange and white amber woods. The bottle’s curvaceous design makes it a cool accessory for my bathroom too.” ISABEL ONG, fashion & beauty writer  

3 Chiffon dress with all-over sequins and embroidery, $27,000, Valentino  
 “This is one of those head-turning pieces that looks – and costs – more like an artwork. While I might never be able to buy it, I can’t help loving the playful rendition of an erupting volcano.” MOH SHUYING, associate beauty editor 

4 Diorsplit1 sunglasses, $870, Dior  
“These two-tone mirrored shades are going to be the next addition to my growing eyewear collection. I’d pair them with everything from my work wardrobe to weekend casuals.” ADELINE ENG, senior designer

5 Irving Penn: Beyond Beauty, Dallas Museum of Art  
“We all know him as the lensman behind the most iconic fashion photos, but I’d love to get a glimpse of Irving Penn’s rarer early works at this major retrospective (on till Aug 14). He’s a true creative, and I admire how he broke the rules and saw beauty in everything.”LUCY REES, associate editor 

6 Marble, wood and metal furniture, from 620 euros (S$945), www.masquespacio.com  
“I’d love to own anything from this tie-up between design studio Masquespacio and furniture brand Missana. With retro Memphis Group pastels and toadstool-like curves, the whimsical result is like a cross between Lego blocks and macarons.”  IMRAN JALAL, senior fashion writer
