Sophie Choudry: Girlie Glam

  1. My blue J Brand skinny jeans, the 12-inch ones. They’re perfect for day or night and can be worn with heels or ballerinas.
  2. A few bright coloured E.VIL T-shirts in yellow and green with fun things written on them. I would even throw in a white one!
  3. My patent black Louboutin pumps. They’re classics.
  4. My silver crystal Giuseppe Zanotti ballerinas. Perfect to walk and shop in all day. Glam yet comfy!
  5. My iPod Touch that has my fave mix of music from salsa to hip hop.
  6. A BlackBerry Bold, so I can stay in touch with everyone and even e-mail from the poolside if need be.
  7. My brand new LBD from Pinko. It’s gorgeous with the most beautiful detailing. Alternatively, my classic Gucci which never lets me down.
  8. My toiletry bag. After all, what’s a girl without her lotions and potions? My large black M.A.C one includes Yonka face wash and moisturiser, Bliss body products, M.A.C lip balm and tinted moisturiser with SPF.
  9. My bright green BCBG short dress. It’s cute and hot at the same time.
  10. My large pearl coloured python Zagliani handbag with a smaller one inside for the evenings.

  2. A swimsuit. I’d take one along even if I went to the North Pole as I am a total water baby!
  3. My BlackBerry, so I’m constantly accessible.
  4. One fab evening outfit. It has to be by an Indian designer if I am going abroad.
  5. A toosh shawl.
  6. About four to five random gifts as I never know who I am going to meet.
  7. One regular tote bag plus a small sling bag, for my wallet, glares and phone, which I can wear over my shoulder and leave my hands free.
