  • Anyone in an extreme sport, especially a freefall snowboarder, just to experience the adrenaline most people don't get to experience.

  • Hmm I don't get hooked on TV shows or movies where I'd want to watch it over and over again, but I guess the ones where I've watched some re-runs for would be Sex in the City and How I Met Your Mother. I've also watched The Sound of Music and Encanto a handful of times since my daughters love the songs so much.

  • Italy (or anywhere in Europe!) but my love for pasta, wine, and gelato is calling me towards Italy first.

  • Bean and cheese burrito lol!

  • Dancing Queen by Abba or No Scrubs by TLC

  • Camping - it's been harder and harder with two little ones but we manage to make it out there. There's a couple summers where we went camping almost every weekend.

Nancy developed a passion for interior design in her 20s while furnishing her Greenwich Village apartment. After 13 years in public relations and marketing, she transitioned to interior design in 2006, and in 2011, she opened Evars + Anderson.

  • Victoria Beckham. I get to spend the day with David Beckham and run a fabulous fashion line. Sounds perfect.

  • In the romantic drama genre, there are 3 movies I watch on repeat: Sense and Sensibility, Little Women (2019) and Pride and Prejudice. Never gets old.

  • One day I will make it to Egypt. In the meantime, you can catch me watching the Smithsonian channel on anything Egypt and anthropological digs.

  • Chicken Adobo with rice. It's the Filipino national dish and the first dish my mother taught me how to cook.

  • For solo, it's Karma Chameleon by Boy George. For duet with my husband, it's Don't You Want Me Baby by Human League. Can you tell I'm an 80's kid?

  • I love to cook and drink champagne!

Nicole Silveira Abisia

Designer

  • I would switch with my toddler son so that I could wear pajamas and eat snacks all day.

  • "Friends" is my go-to comfort show, even if it's just for background noise.

  • This list is long. It's hard to choose a single one, but I would love to visit Greece.

  • All kinds of bread! Portuguese sweet bread, garlic bread, bagels, pastries. All of it.

  • I've never done Karaoke before! But if I had to, it would probably need to be "Killing Me Softly" (Fugees).

  • I enjoy Summer outdoor activities - camping, hiking, spending the day by the water.

Styling Director | Designer

  • Bruce Lee? I always wanted to learn martial arts, his techniques, speed and power.

  • The movie I can watch over and over again is The Devil Wears Prada

    can’t wait for the sequel.

  • I love traveling and so many places I want to visit and explore, but the Maldives is on top of my list, the white-sand beaches and overwater bungalows is calling my name!

  • Mom’s home cook meals, so spicy papaya salad, wings, larb, kaboon, Kang Namai and sticky rice, any of her dishes.

  • This list would go on and on if I like Karaoke, but if I had to pick one song it would be Push It by Salt-N-Pepa.

  • I enjoy all type of dancing, love to paint and having a good cocktail, is that a hobby?

Edith Barker

PR

  • (Gosh - I think I have to skip this one...right now I just want to be in two places at once.)

  • Currently...The Biggist Little Farm and The Chosen series, or any of the Jason Bourne movies if it's family night and action films are in the line up.

  • Not just one - Lake Garda (Italy), Corsica, Bhutan, and Israel.

  • Oh I love a good curry!

  • Hmmm, maybe I'd surprise a few people and select a cover by Jonny Cash

  • One very simple and relaxing activity I always enjoy is baking cookies - for holidays, friends, gatherings, or just to unwind and enjoy time with my son. One of my all time favorites from the last couple of years is Aeyesha Curry's chocolate chip cookie recipe. Top with a little Maldon flake salt and it's perfection.

Vanessa Knebel

Designer

  • If I could switch lives with someone for a day, I think I’d choose a travel photographer who gets to explore hidden places around the world. I love the idea of seeing breathtaking landscapes, meeting people from different cultures, and capturing all of that beauty through a lens — just for a day!

  • Friends! I’ve probably watched every episode more than once, but it always makes me laugh and brings that cozy, feel-good vibe no matter how many times I see it.

  • Thailand! I’m fascinated by how different the culture is from Brazil — all the vibrant colors, unique textures, and incredible nature. I’ve always dreamed of experiencing that up close.

  • My mom’s homemade cake. It’s not just delicious, but it brings back the best childhood memories — especially of us baking together on rainy days. It’s my ultimate comfort food.

  • "Lose Yourself" by Eminem! It might surprise people, but when I was studying abroad in Budapest, my friends and I used to love singing it at karaoke nights. So now it’s a fun and nostalgic pick for me.

  • Swimming in open water, especially in the sea. I love feeling connected to nature, watching the sunrise, and seeing marine life up close. It’s my way of recharging and feeling present.
