q & a
What is your favorite color pairing? Current color you are loving?
I love mixing orange and blues together. Orange is my favorite color, and blue is my husband’s. That combo makes us both happy. We are currently working on an outdoor area that is going to be a lot of fun with pops of blue, salmon, and terracotta.
What city can you not wait to go back to? Which hotel & restaurant do you find inspiring and can't wait to visit again?
Paris is always fun and inspiring. I just stayed at the Surf Club in Bal Harbor, and I love the mix of modern and traditional there. I love Monsieur Bleu in Paris. It has such a pretty clean interior with fabulous views of the Eiffel Tower.
What is your design superpower?
I love layering new with old.
What is your favorite hostess gift?
Monogrammed cocktail napkins from Gramercy Home or a box of macarons from Sucre in New Orleans.
Favorite vintage source or home focused retail store?
Foxgloves Antiques.
What is your go-to outfit?
I have the Simkhai Crissy dress in three colors. It is so easy to throw on with tennis shoes to run around ADAC or easy to dress up with a pair of espadrilles or scrappy sandals.
