In the world of fashion, digital style maven Kim Pesch (of Eat.Sleep.Wear fame) is a force to be reckoned with given her popular fashion blog and ongoing collaborations with Coach, Barneys and the Gap. But when it comes to luxe essentials, this girl-about-town follows a simple regimen to keep her looking lovely without too much effort. Having gotten the chance to have a pre-Fashion Week pow-wow with her in our showroom, we couldn’t help resist running through her must-have daily basics.

What beauty and accessories do you consider your ultimate staples?

Kim: Bold lip, cat eye glasses, wearing watches, hair accessories and eyeliner.

Do you have a daily beauty routine?

Kim: I wash my face every day using Artistry and Estee Lauder skincare. I do my make up quickly, so I’m always rushing my eyeliner and lipstick.

How do you take time out of your busy schedule for a “luxe moment”?

Kim: Getting a cup of coffee at La Colombe downtown. Their coffee comes on hand-painted porcelain. It’s an experience!
