MINI SPENT TEN MINUTES WITH THE Founder of organic Italian wine spritz brand, Drink RAMONA, and mom of two (to Henry and Ronan) to chat personal details like her favorite local shop now living in Paris, what she keeps on her nightstand, the apps she uses most, and the chicest wardrobe staples to snag now!

ON MY NIGHTSTAND Paris to the Moon, Frog and Toad, and a Paul Arnhold glass in pink speckles, full of water.

BEFORE KIDS, I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD Let them snuggle with us every night in our bed or have a house overflowing with Cars characters.

FAVORITE PLACE TO TRAVEL Salina, Sicily.

GROWING UP, I WANTED TO BE AN Environmental lawyer. FAVORITE KIDS MOVIE Cars and Ratatouille.

MY COFFEE ORDER Cappuccino these days. At Balthazar in NYC, it’s a café au lait in a bowl.

IDEAL DATE NIGHT Dinner with my husband, somewhere with a smart cocktail menu, wine list, plenty of vegetables, and good design.

FAVORITE KIDS BOOKS The Snail and the Whale, Room on the Broom, and Frog and Toad.

WARDROBE STAPLES Black and white checkered dress (@annother.archive), a structural khaki skirt in Italian trench fabric (@ EDIT_the_brand), cardigan set by brilliant mama Anne Gaelle Van de Weghe’s new line Vegetable Sweater. For a night out, anything Rosie Assoulin.

GUILTY PLEASURE Brioche en Sucre (warm, if possible) from Le Pain Retrouvé in the 9eme.

CAN’T STOP LISTENING TO

IF THERE WERE MORE HOURS IN THE DAY, I WOULD Finish Anna Karenina and improve my Italian.
