REBECCA MESSINA

WHO: Global chief marketing officer, Beam Suntory. HOME ’HOOD: “Lincoln Park—beautiful streets, restaurants, and great parks. We’re next to Depaul campus, which keeps us feeling young.” GO-TO: “We love Summer House Santa Monica (1954 N. Halsted St., 773-634-4100; summerhousesm.com), as they treat our kids so well—and us, too.” HIDDEN GEM: “Even if you hate carbs, you have to eat the bread at Floriole (1220 W. Webster Ave., 773-883-1313; floriole.com). Their baguette can stand up to the best pâtissières in Paris.” ARCHITECTURAL INSPO: “We went to Millennium Park the other day, and it was the first time I’d seen the Jay Pritzker Pavilion—it was just awe-inspiring to come upon it so unexpectedly.” HOW I DE-STRESS: “Taking the kids out to dinner and hearing about their day. Nothing de-stresses better than the perspective of a 7- and 9-year-old.” FASHION ESSENTIAL: “I have a great leather coat from a store in Paris called Les Petites that I look forward to wearing every fall.”
