5 Things This Lizard Is Currently Into Based on the 5 Senses

👁️ Sight 👀

Barbara Kruger: Thinking of You. I Mean Me. I Mean You. at Serpentine South Gallery: I obviously love anything at Serpentine, their billing is always superb.

🎧 Sound 👂

Snakeskin by Rina Sawayama: If you want a taste of what it feels like to be a sexy reptile in her prime, I recommend listening to my girl Rina’s song Snakeskin. My theme song for real!  

👅 Taste 😋

Petite Tender Au Poivre At Frenchette: Every time I dine at Frenchette I run into an ex, but this dish makes it worth it.

👃 Smell 😶‍🌫️

Celine Reptile Eau De Parfum: This is the perfume I wear when I want to go full seduction mode. It’s deep and musky, darkly glamorous and spicy.

🤌 Feel 🤏 

Cartier High Jewellery Necklace: I feel best when I am wearing diamonds—and nothing else.

LIZARD’S WARDROBE ESSENTIALS

These are just some essentials—basics really—any gal should have in her wardrobe: a few sparkles, a passport cover for your next whirlwind adventure (some minor member of the Genovian aristocracy is taking me to Capri after the fashion month madness), a comfortable black halterneck, an understated brief, and a simple set of black sunnies to shield your eyes from the paparazzi flash. 

Shop the Essentials: Suzanna Kalan Classic Diamond Full Baguette Cuff, Aspinal Of London Plain Passport Lizard Cover,  Peter Do Ribbed-Knit Halterneck Top, Phoebe Philo Studded Bikini Bottoms, Loewe Black Wave Mask Sunglasses

VANITY

Lizard’s Beauty Go-To’s

My body is my canvas, so I really prioritize keeping my scales glistening and moisturized. Because I shed my skin every time I see even the faintest shadow of a wrinkle, I don’t really age, but it’s important to invest in yourself, so you look and feel your best.

Luxury/Splurge: La Prairie's White Caviar Crème Extraordinaire

Drugstore Discovery: Revlon Nail Enamel in Chameleon

Cult Classic: Nars Orgasm Blush

Indie Option: Kindred Black Mnesarete Décolletage Oil

All Time Ole Reliable: Biologique Recherche Masque Visolastine +
