Kate Waterhouse — style guru and racing royalty — on what brings her joy.

1. DERBY DAY It’s the first day of the Melbo and there’s so much excitement and buzz aro an amazing job with the Design Pavilion, and of black-and-white is very elegant, so it’s just a g eat day out. 2. DALE FRANK I’ve always been attracted to Australian artists. I love Dale Frank’s use of colour: the bright hues and the composition add a lot of drama within a room. 3. FEI JAI restaurant in Potts Point. My husband [Luke Ricketson] and I go there on a weekend and do a yum cha; it’s a restaurant that we continue to go back to. 4. WHITE PHALAENOPSIS ORCHIDS are always planted around my house, as well as fiddle leaf figs. 5. HERMÈS VASE BLEUS D’AILLEURS I love the graphic pattern on it. I live near the beach in Balmoral, so there are a lot of blues through my home. 6. MY GRANDMOTHER’S BROOCH This was passed down to my mother and then me. It’s something I will treasure forever. 7. SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS My family has a property there. We spend a lot of holiday occasions there as well as weekends. It’s got so much to offer — especially having two young children who love being part of nature and getting outdoors. 8. JO MALONE ENGLISH PEAR & FREESIA COLOGNE It’s a light, bright daytime scent, and it feels like a summery day, so it always puts me in a good mood when I wear it. 9. NERIDA WINTER is an amazing milliner. I’ve known her for many, many years. Every season, she creates something different — she always thinks outside the box. 10. TAORMINA, ITALY It’s my favourite place in the world. I’ve been going there on family holidays every year since I was a little girl. It also holds a special place in my heart because it’s where my husband and I got married. Visit katewaterhouse.com
