MEET | CANDICE HOYES
Featured 10.15-10.21.18 | It’s hard to pin down the word soulful. Because while the definition — of or expressive of deep feeling or emotion — tells you about it, it’s really much more about how something makes you feel. Or in this week’s case, how *someone* makes you feel. Case in point: @candiceincolor, whose voice has been compared to Eartha Kitt’s and Nancy Wilson’s (NBD), sings with a force so powerful, it literally shakes your soul. Not to mention that her chills-inducing melodies tap into themes of feminism and black history to remind us of the forever shifting politics of race, class and feminism. And if that’s not soulful, then we don’t what is. Plus, she’s smart. Like really smart. With an undergrad degree from @Harvard and a law degree from @columbialawschool, we’re talking more ivy than blues (see what we did there, @Beyonce?). And if you haven’t seen her perform on the hallowed stages of @carnegiehall or @lincolncenter, or caught her work alongside legend @wyntonmarsalis, don’t fret: Her second album will be released in 2019 and there’s sure to be plenty of opportunities to surround yourself with her voice that’s smooth as silk, and yes, soulful. Her #randomact is full of feeling too: @williemaerockcamp. Welcome to Candice’s week. #mondaymotivation #mondaySELECT #onepersonsevendays #theselectguest #theselect7 #linkinbio // 📸 by @chloecleroux for @theselect7 //

Fun fact: There are rumored to be 24,000 restaurants in NYC, and it would take you almost 23 years to eat in all of them (assuming you went out for breakfast, lunch and dinner on the daily). You don’t need us to tell you that that’s NEVER going to happen (wait - is that a challenge?), so how do you decide where to go? It’s easy if you have @ajayz13 and @dlz4 of @unbuttoningpants around. The foodiest sisters on the planet, they just wrote a book called New York City Food Crawls: Touring the Neighborhoods One Bite at a Time, so we obviously asked them for some solid recs. We challenge you to hit all seven this week. #sundayselect #onsundaysweshare #theselectset #theselectsetsunday #theselect7 #linkinbio // for @theselect7 //

MEET | BOJANA NOVAKOVIC
Featured 10.8.18-10.14.18 | Quirk is hard to pull off. It can feel disingenuous, even self-conscious. But when it works, it really works and can make the most straight-laced among us wish we were just a little more … unique. Case in point: Serbian-born, Australian-raised actress @bojnovak, whose love of Thai Boxing, going braless and eating massive amounts of butter only begins to tell the tale of her somewhat unconventional and perfectly loveable personality. Here’s what’s up: As co-star on the CBS series, @instinctcbs (opposite @alancummingsnaps, the equally eccentric actor), Bojana (pronounced Boy-ah-nah, because we’re guessing you needed that) plays badass NYPD Detective Lizzie Needham. In real life, this knockout beauty is just as badass: A graduate of the National Institute of Dramatic Arts in Australia, she’s had starring roles in all of Australia's major theatre companies, ran Ride On Theatre, her own independent company for 10 years, is a photographer, activist, motorbike rider and a lover of the full-contact sport of MMA . But hey, full-contact is just how she rolls, whether it’s in the ring or with her work rebuilding schools and working toward gender equality in Nepal through her organization, The B Project. So what keeps this beauty floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee day in and day out? We’d say it’s her remarkable wit, her intense love of life and her belief that sandals should always be worn with socks. Welcome to Bojana’s week. | face: @andremakeup hair: @charles_dujic | #mondaymotivation #mondaySELECT #onepersonsevendays #theselectguest #theselect7 #linkinbio // 📸 by @kaelanbarowsky for @theselect7 //

Despite the fact that it still feels like summer, we can’t be far from the cooler, darker days of winter, right? And with the (hopeful?) change of season comes a new resolve to stay home and cook, for us at least. It’s cold, it’s dark, and who wants to go out? We don’t. But also, we’re not great cooks. So we turned to someone who is: @@chefadriennecheatham, @bravotopchef alum, founder of @sundaybest.harlem, a pop-up series held in various locations around Harlem and former Chef de Cuisine for @marcuscooks (good enough resume for you?), who is giving us her selects for the top 7 kitchen tools a real-life chef swears by. Now, let’s get cooking. || http://liketk.it/2xEmB #liketkit @liketoknow.it || #sundayselect #onsundaysweshare #theselectset #theselectsetsunday #theselect7 #linkinbio // 📸 by @metiercreative for @theselect7 //
