Eva Chow’s Favorite Things

“These edible fragrances are an unexpected way to elevate a cocktail or layer with my favorite perfume, and they always become a conversation starter at the table.”

“I never arrive to a dinner party empty handed. This bottle lets me bring a piece of Korea to the table, no matter where I am.”

“My go-to soju cocktail is a KHEE highball with soda water and a squeeze of fresh citrus, perfect for summer. It’s light, crisp, and lets the soju shine. I also love the simplicity and style of these glasses which helps show off the purity of my soju.”

“The second my plane touches down in L.A., I’m on the lookout for a bag of these lollipops. Or maybe three. I always make sure to bring some back with me to Seoul.”

“As a painter myself, I’ve been a longtime admirer of Mike Kelley’s work. I really love this book. The colors are visually stunning, and it’s a beautiful read—plus it adds a great pop of color to any shelf or space. I often turn to Hauser & Wirth’s website for artistic inspiration.”

“I’m really consistent with hand care, so I always keep this in my purse when I travel.”

“While I love visiting museums like LACMA, where I also serve on the board and where works by Horst P. Horst can be seen, I tend to use travel as a time to soak in art through portable books.”

“I’m really drawn to ylang-ylang scent profiles, and this fragrance features that note. I always get a lot of compliments when I wear it.”

“My dog Jojo tags along with me as I go bi-coastal throughout the year. I’d rather have her in my lap but when I can’t, this works.”

“Having my brows done just makes me feel more put together—even when I’m barely wearing any makeup, which is most days.”

“I always tell my daughter this—the secret to good skin is sunscreen. Even in winter, the sun is sneaky.”

“I love a dinner out with friends, but there’s something really therapeutic and comforting about cooking, especially Italian food.”
