Where did you grow up? Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

How did you end up in Washington? After law school, I came to work at the Inter-American Development Bank. Then I met my husband. He visited me when I went back to Brazil. We got married a couple of months later and moved here.

Where do you like to shop? Wherever they have beautiful clothes. I shop in São Paolo a lot. I like Neiman Marcus at Tysons because I know everybody there. I love shoes; I have a winter and summer collection. I must have 60 pairs, maybe more. I like to have things no one else has.

our favorite item in your closet? I love my new fur bag that my husband gave me. It’s a Fendi Spy bag. He surprised me.

What designers do you love most? I love Chanel. They’re classic and always fashionable. Some of Versace’s clothes are really sophisticated. I love Manolos for shoes; they’re really comfortable.
