Welcome to a special takeover of The Wish List – our shopping series full of personal recs on the homeware, fashion, beauty, lifestyle and foodie buys we’ve got our eyes on. This week, instead of Team Service95’s picks, we have one of our favourite tastemakers doing the curating: Dae Lim, the Seoul-born, California-raised, New York-based founder of smoke wear clothing brand Sundae School.
Here, he shares what’s on his Wish List right now, from the essential tool to survive a New York heatwave to some very practical purchases – plus one buy to keep you in your cat’s good books.
The Wear-Everywhere Suit
“Everyone needs a crisp navy suit for summer weddings. This is my best work yet. You can create multiple different looks with one single suit.” Navy Double Duty Blazer, $230, Sundae School
The Toe-Separating Slippers (Really!)
“You know you are ageing when you can feel it in your toes. Separating them helps!” Solevera Massage Slippers, $44, Bowlift

“My British shorthair Kona keeps climbing to the top of my cabinet, but none of the cat towers out there fit with my interior choices! This one is on my list.” The Helix, $1,199, Furr & Co

“I’ve never had as many breakouts as I do now. Adult acne is getting the best of me, but it’s really the discoloration that breaks my heart. I’ve been using this cream, and it actually works!” 345 Relief Cream, $27, Dr Althea at Ulta Beauty
