Matchali co-founder Laura Li lets us know some of her top shopping picks for the new season, from occasion dressing to cosy basics and everyday essentials

While whisking away at Matchali, Laura Li––who co-founded the pop-up cafe serving mostly matcha-based products with her cousin Cara Li––can often be seen wearing the latest shoes from the coolest contemporary labels. Last time we went, she was in Arizona's Love's hiking sandals that were all the rage over summer. That's because before matcha came calling, Li handled marketing for fashion and lifestyle brands at local PR firm Social Capital. What cool kicks will she be sporting this fall? You'll just have to check out her wishlist.
