Rafe Loves…Sarah Cristobal

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

Raison d’Etre: To have an amazing tan. (Kidding!) To love and be loved. (Only child syndrome.)

Job: Senior Fashion Editor at StyleList.com, freelance writer; charitable do-gooder, extreme motocross, mime, professional juggler, globe-trotter (most of these are true)

Live: The Village, NYC

Happiness: Sitting with a glass of rose on a beach in VilleFranche. Oh, and my family and friends being healthy and happy of course. (Wine first though.)

Brunch: Pastis in NYC, Sylvester’s in Northampton, MA

Drink:  Elderflower Martini at Hotel du Cap, Penny Drop at Standard Grill

Eat: The Standard Grill in NYC, La Fontaine Gaillon and Brasserie Lipp in Paris, Miramar in Barcelona

Escape: Anywhere with a beach! South of France, Tulum in Mexico, anywhere in Spain

Read: Cat Fancy, New Yorker, Harper’s Bazaar, Grazia, Vanity Fair, Coastal Living

Listen: Hard to pick a favorite. Currently really liking the Karen Elson album and Whitest Boy Alive. Also have a penchant for Yanni.

Watch:  Saved by the Bell reruns, Welcome Back Cotter, Dora the Explorer, you know, the usual.

Indulge: Designer shoes and dinners with friends. Also tanning and Saved by the Bell reruns.

Shop:  Colette, Barneys, Zero Maria Cornejo

Fashion: Peter Som, Costello Tagliapietra, Dries van Noten, Isabel Marant, Alabama Chanin

Aspire: It varies from 1960s era Jane Birkin to Susan Boyle pre-makeover which makes it very hard to get dressed in the morning.

Charity: Free Arts, NYC Ballet, Edible Schoolyard

Dream: To one day get the call that I am indeed a distant relative to Cristobal Balenciaga and therefore will have full access to his archives. Also to star in an off-Broadway production of “Cats” and be a world renowned Scrabble player.

Accessories: I love Rafe accessories because they are organically cool, accessible and lovely, just like dear Rafe.
