HANG 10 is back! This week, we chat with PR and Marketing whiz Arielle from Jonathan Adler. She's very possibly the most hilarious girl around...
1. When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A doctor. But, then I spent a little more time growing up with my parents, who are both doctors, and was all, no way!
2. Who do you look up to?
My first boss, who is now the Media Director at Bird, is a fearlessly fabulous lady that I look up to. She is fantastically chic, hysterical, empathic, sensitive and taught me that you can have a mentor, friend and mother in the most unexpected places. I admire her career, her life and, of course, her closet.
3. What is the best piece of advice you ever received?
My first boss told me to always work for people that you admire and respect. In life, my dad always says to embrace change and things that give you anxiety.
4. How have you changed in the past year, and how do you hope to change in the next?
I think I this is a question to revisit in Therapy. I will get back to you on this one. But, a lot of change has happened and I can only hope there's more to come. I know I am forever a work in progress.
5. What do you love about what you do?
I love that I get to go to work everyday with the greatest group of freaks. They make me laugh hysterically everyday and have become great friends.
6. What is your idea of the perfect day (or night)?
When you're surrounded by the people you love the most, you're laughing and at total ease. Impromptu dance parties never hurt either.
7. If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
Santa Monica, New York or Paris. I am a walking cliché and I am okay with that. They're just the best places on earth (to live).
8. What are your favorite places in your neighborhood?
Tiny's because it covers a lot of bases - great for brunch, dinner and drinks - it's my go to spot that I never get tired of.
the otheroom because there's nothing better than a wine bar, in my heart of hearts I am a total vino-phile.
The Hudson River - I love living near water. It's not quite the Santa Monica beach I grew up staring at but it will do, for now. I never say no to a bike ride along the water (except when it's frozen outside).
9. If you had three wishes…
1. To be an incredible cook. I think is sexy when a woman can just whip up a delicious meal without making a fuss.
2. To be contently fulfilled, happy and in love--whatever that might look like. (Like I said, embracing clichés...)
3. The shallow wish--the Celine bag I've been lusting after for the past few years.
