What’s on the horizon? Attending our House in the Wood Gala on October 22 at the newly renovated Ritz Carlton. After a two-year hiatus, it is exciting to be in-person raising funds for the House in the Wood Camp again. I’ll be taking notes as I’m chairing the 2023 gala Mantra? Embrace change—it’s the only constant Best grooming tip? Don’t neglect your eyebrows Guilty pleasure? Ginger candy Favorite foods? My mother-in-law’s shrimp curry and samosas Music you love? Spotify’s Good Vibes playlist is a go-to. Recommended for windows down, volume-up listening Best advice ever given to you? Surround yourself with people who talk about visions and ideas, not other people Best advice you’ve given? It’s never too late Earliest memory? Playing “restaurant” with my sister When you wake up, you? Make a Nespresso coffee, check my to-do list, and read Katie Couric’s daily newsletter Before bed, you? Read. I always read at least a few pages to clear my head What’s on your bookshelf? Fiona and Jane by Jean Chen Ho and Raising Boys by Steve Biddulph You can’t live without? My family, my girlfriends, and Starbucks Americano with cinnamon powder Love to escape to? Spain. I studied there in college and I am always lured back. You can find both city and sun, old world charm and modern influences Advice you would give to your younger self? Take more risks
ON THE SHORE
Your style is? Workout clothes in the morning, L’AGENCE jeans and sneakers in the day Can’t leave the house without? Lip balm, gum, and a hair tie Transportation? Three boys and all their gear demand an SUV Driving music? SoulCycle Radio on SiriusXM Place to eat? Torino, I love the Tan Tan Ramen with kale noodles Shop? Maison du Prince is curated so beautifully, and is a generous supporter of our board Best thing about the Shore? Proximity to the lake and bicycling home from cocktail parties Worst thing about the Shore? It can feel too small at times The perfect day is? Early morning SoulCycle class, lunch with girlfriends, dinner at home with my boys (steak is a crowd pleaser), and an Aviation cocktail made by my husband
IN THE CITY
Your style is? Classic with an edge Can’t leave the house without? My phone and a plan Transportation? The train Driving music? Podcasts—Second Life, Off the Gram, and Goop are a few of my recent favorites Place to eat? I love the Fulton Market area—Roister Restaurant is my choice for elevated food with a fun vibe Shop? Intermix and Christina Karin Best thing about the City? The energy, the diversity, and the people watching Worst thing about the City? Traffic and crime The perfect day is? Visiting a museum or seeing a show, enjoying a great cocktail, and checking out a new restaurant. And maybe some late-night dancing
