A SPARKLING ADDITION Filienna Jewelry now sold at Matriark in Sag Harbor BY CYNDI ZAWESKI

ocated in the heart of the Hamptons, Matriark’s flagship Sag Harbor retail location has long been a mecca of expertly curated fashion, accessories and decorative objects. The items are not only bespoke, they are empowering. All the products are designed and crafted women-owned brands. Its latest partnership with jewelry company Filienna is an elevated trifecta of beautiful, bold and altruistic. For Matriark founder Patricia Assui Reed, Filienna was a natural fit for the boutique. The brand’s appeal transcends its elegant aesthetic with a powerful message of balance, positivity, and self-love. Filienna and Matriark align aesthetically in terms of their feminine, bohemian, chic and individualistic styles, but the collaboration goes much further beyond the surface. The partners support women with a message of inclusivity and empowerment. “Filienna doesn’t just sell femininity, positivity, and

creative self-expression,” Reed said. “These are values that the brand promotes from within, with women leaders overseeing every division of the business, from design and production to promotion and operations.” Henna design inspires Filienna jewelry collections. Henna is an ancient art of body adornment practiced by women for centuries. The brand set out to capture the ornate and delicate essence of henna design, crafted in blush silver filigree to last far beyond a traditional henna tattoo. Blush silver is a special alloy or blend of metals that include precious silver, copper and other metals. The effect is that of rose gold, a universally flattering hue that brings feminine warmth to any wearer. The benefit of this metal is that, with proper care, blush silver retains its rosy hue but costs a fraction less than real rose gold. Filienna jewelry is versatile. It travels well, can be worn at the beach, at work or for special occasions.

“Crafting all Filienna jewelry in this uniform hue enables any woman to mix easily and max the entire Filienna jewelry collection, so she may adapt and layer the pieces for her needs and any occasion,” Reed said. The Filienna mantra to “Be free, Be you” reflects Reed’s mission to create a safe space where women can come as they are to shop, commune, grow and give back. The shop is currently donating 10 percent of its profits, including Filienna jewelry, to The Retreat in Long Island, an organization offers a safe, local haven for families in crisis. Matriark carries a full range of Filienna’s henna and filigree inspired jewelry online and in-store, including a selection of rings, bracelets, chains, pendants, and accessories from the Filienna Heart, Swirl, Star, Trillion, Baby B, Angel and Flower collections. Filienna jewelry ranges in price from $49 - $395. To support these women-owned businesses, visit Matriark in Sag Harbor or shop now at Matriark.com.

Secrecy Along The Shores

Inside the North Shore’s Culper Spy Ring

The Prison Ship Martyrs’ Monument in Fort Greene Park. Remains of hundreds of Revolutionaries who died on the prison ships are interred in a crypt beneath its base.

British colonial authorities are said to have executed ‘Rebels’ by chaining them to the rocks at low tide allowing the rising water to drown them. As added torture, the bones of those previously executed were left for the new captives to contemplate.

During the war residents in the northern part of the town predominantly sympathized with the forces for independence. After the war in 1783, a separate North Hempstead township was approved.

Raynham Hall is the home where the lead spy Robert Townsend lived and was buried and brieﬂy served as headquarters for a regiment of the Queen’s Rangers and their commander, Lt. Col. John Graves Simcoe, who quartered himself in the house.

Nathan Hale Monument in Huntington honors Hale who began his mission on the shores of Huntington Bay. He was later captured in Huntington and hanged in New York City.

August 1777 ~

The “Battle of Setauket” takes place between American and British forces on the Village Green.

he Culper Spy Ring was a covert American Revolutionary War intelligence gathering group on Long Island led by Major Benjamin Tallmadge. Established in 1778 by George Washington during the British occupation of New York, the Culper Spy Ring along the Washington Spy Trail on the North Shore is considered pivotal in defeating the British, clearing the path for American independence.

1778 ~ Washington appoints Major Benjamin Tallmadge as the head of the Continental Army’s secret service. Tallmadge establishes Culper Spy Ring, a small yet trustworthy group of men and women from his hometown of Setauket. 1778 ~ Anne Smith Strong’s husband, a local

Patriot judge named Selah Strong, is taken by British prison ship HMS Jersey.

1779 ~ A friend of Tallmadge and a leading

member of the spy ring, Abraham Woodhull aka “Samuel Culper Sr.” recruits well-connected New York merchant Robert Townsend, to serve as the Ring’s source in the city.

October 1780 ~ The Ring is credited with uncovering treasonous correspondence between Benedict Arnold and John Andre. Andre was giving away information on the American army fort in West Point.

A Spy In Petticoats

The Culper Spy Trail

To the naked eye, Setauket resident Anna Smith Strong’s morning routine was nothing to bat an eyelash at, but the act of hanging her wash out to dry outside her home was more magnificent than mundane. Little did anyone—let alone the British forces lurking in the waters of Long Island Sound—know that a petticoat on the clothesline was a secret message to the Americans. Strong, the wife of a Patriot judge who was captured by the British, was a lynch pin in the Culper Spy Ring. Strong, along with a handful of other brave Long Island-based informants, kept tabs on the British in New York, collecting history-changing intelligence about the tract of British ships, their cargo and their troops. The scrappy and resourceful Ring didn’t rely on clotheslines alone. Other unorthodox techniques included relaying coded messages in newspapers and invisible ink.

AUTOMOTIVE

JAGUAR CONTINUES TO ROAR Luxury vehicles are highlighted by all-electric options BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

The Jaguar I-PACE is an award-winning electric vehicle that is setting the industry standard. (Photo courtesy of Jaguar)

Fortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic is settling down on Long Island. Life is slowly, but surely getting back to normal.

hile you still can’t go on that nice, relaxing vacation you originally planned on, there are plenty of places on Long Island that you can drive to. And that’s why Jaguar Land Rover of Freeport, located at 146 Sunrise Hwy. in Freeport, reported record-high numbers in July. The dealership actually had its best month since opening three years ago. But why are Jaguars and Land Rovers so popular right now? It’s a great combination of the all-electric options being created, as well as the perfect timing of three-year leases expiring. Tony Anton, general manager of Jaguar Land Rover of Freeport, explained the importance of the Jaguar I-PACE, which continues to set the industry standard. “The I-PACE is an all-electric, beautifully styled car,” Anton said. “It has more than a 200-mile range. It has a tremendous amount of torque and it’s extremely fast. It basically costs nothing to run. Last year, it won the three most prestigious World Car awards. It’s made to climb Mount Everest or go to the beach. It fits seven people comfortably. You can have kayaks, canoes, skies and bicycles in there.” The 2020 I-PACE starts at $69,850 for those buying it, with a 36-month lease around $900 per month. This electric vehicle is pricey, but it’s worthwhile given its raw speed thanks to its 394 horsepower. Some estimates have the I-PACE traveling up to 234 miles on a single battery charge. ‘‘The car is cool,” Anton said. “It has an adjustable suspension, so you can lower the rear of the car for your dog to hop in and out.” And yes, this is the perfect luxury ride in the middle of the pandemic. You can drive as far as you want on Long Island or to Upstate

New York on a single charge, hitting all of the rough terrain on the way without an issue. “The suburban warrior has always reached out to Land Rover for Armageddon when it comes,” he said. “Not that we have to worry about that, but people do. We’re in the middle of a pandemic and no one can really go anywhere, so having a vehicle that can go everywhere is no longer just a fashionable thing. It’s a utility thing.” The 2020 I-PACE consists of three different options, including the S, SE and HSE, with each subsequent one offering additional features. Essentially, the HSE has more technology features than the S does. The 2021 version of the I-PACE might be even more impressive. It will have a 4G data plan, a 360-degree camera, as well as wireless charging. It will also have a much quicker charge, bringing a dead battery to a full charge in approximately 8.6 hours. Jaguar Land Rover of Freeport, just like many dealerships in New York, are practicing social distancing. With the use of Microsoft Team and Zoom, the sales representatives are working to serve customers from home or with a handful of people spread out at the dealership. “When the pandemic first happened, we closed just like everybody else,” Anton said. To enhance safety measures for those picking cars up, the dealership is taking giant leaps that might become an industry standard for the long-term, too. “We have people come pick up cars at the dealership that have been fully disinfected,” he said. “We have a team that’s constantly wiping down surfaces, door handles and we have disinfectant systems for all of our cars. Every car that goes out for a test drive gets disinfected before the next person can use it. There are wraps for the steering wheel that are disposable and replaceable for each drive. It’s been quite successful.” As the car market continues to pick back up, make sure to check out the I-PACE.

BEAUTY

Step Up Your Hairstyle Jennifer Aniston’s longtime colorist shares his best tips BY CYNDI ZAWESKI

2020 hasn’t been kind to our hair. Being stuck at home and social distancing from the salon for months can take its toll. It is time to refresh.

ne of Hollywood’s most sought-after colorists and co-creator of “The Rachel,” Michael Canalé, is here to help. Who better to take advice from than the man who has revitalized Jennifer Aniston’s hair for over a decade?

“I truly enjoy making people happy,”Canalé said. “Creating the trend, while working to bring out my client’s personal best. The right color is an accessory, use it to your advantage. People can always tell my work, enhancing a person’s natural complexion and eye color, this trend never goes out of style. I have appreciated the opportunity to share my work over the years with multiple generations of the most powerful woman, true icons and inspirations.” Canalé shared his expert advice on how to prepare for a new normal as salons across the nation reopen, how stylists and colorists can keep clients safe, while accommodating the increased demand for hair services, and what changes you’ll see in the industry moving forward.

What are some of this year’s top hair color trends? Has COVID-19 (and being unable to visit salons regularly) influenced style?

The best hair color trends right now are simple grow outs. Highlights that are blended to the natural base colors, so they grow out easier. You don’t know when you are going to get back to the salon. This technique could last up to five months. For solid colors, get something you can touch up yourself just in case you go back into quarantine. There are so many variations to pick from. Work with your hairdresser to come up with something easy. I have been offering personalized color kits to my clients with their specific formula. Fun vibrant colors are available in drug stores they have been in style for the last few years, color tipping the ends of the hair is one of my favorite techniques, because you can always cut it off when you need a change.

Q A

Do you have any tips for maintaining color between visits?

People would come to me and ask, “How can I keep my hair looking fresh until I see you again?” So, I created a product line that is proven to maintain and restore the integrity of treated hair from the inside out and the outside in. Canalé CLEANSE Shampoo for all types of hair is a mild shampoo that fully cleans the hair without fading color. Used with either SOFTEN or SOFTEN PLUS to condition, rebuild, and strengthen the hair shaft, together they battle oxidation. I am excited to announce New Canalé Signature Glosses, they work with your skin undertones, cool or warm. For cool undertones, MIDNIGHT BLUE corrects gold tones in hair and reduces the warm in brunettes. COOL BLUE creates balance and maintains the proper cool tone hair color. SUNKISSED GOLDrevitalizes over bleached hair and enhances warm, golden undertones. All created to enhance and extend hair color and shine while

protecting from the elements and sun. Try them, they are amazing.

Q A

Can you provide tips for keeping clients safe and best practices for visiting a salon?

The cosmetology profession is built on cleanliness and sanitation. At my salon, we prepared early, making the transition more seamless. Stylists are trained and licensed based on 1,600 hours of learning how to properly sanitize and maintain a safe, clean and sterile environment for our clients. Additionally, we are fully set up with all safety measures such as limiting our capacity, incorporating sneeze guards, partitions if needed, sanitizing tools at every station and extra masks for clients before we officially reopen our salon. Our salon has incorporated a red-carpet velvet rope to stop clients from entering the salon before having their temperature taken, along with forms to fill out regarding their health, safety, and standard questions. Amenities, including magazines, books, coffee, and water for clients have been removed and replaced with custom masks, hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes. The salons have this handled and under control.

Q A Q A

How do you get the best color from your stylist?

I recommend you bring pictures, both of what you like or what you do not like. How do vitamin supplements support hair health and growth?

Specially formulated two supplements, one topical and one ingestible. NOURISH Topical Vitamin Foam is applied to the root of the hair and feeds the hair follicle with key nutrients. It is applied after CLEANSE Shampoo and expands the hair shaft adding volume. It is the most technologically advanced product in the line. The ingestible vitamin REPLENISH, feeds the hair, skin and nails all natural, vegan, super food, blue green algae and other key nutrients that help stimulate the hair. Healthy, shiny hair that is what everyone wants.

How did you come up with the formula and what are its benefits? Can you let readers know where they may purchase your products.

In the past I represented brands like Kerastase and Shu Uemura. Although I loved these products, I still felt something was missing. I made it my personal goal to develop the most holistic healthy hair care system. I partnered with Dr. David Silver and worked together to scientifically formulate a product line focusing on getting and keeping hair healthy while maintaining and extending hair color, improving the fullness of hair, and bringing out the natural shine.

Interior design trends to follow in 2021 2020 is flying by—and perhaps that’s a good thing. In a year defined by upheaval and uncertainty, 2021 represents a north star of new beginnings. Interior design trends are reflecting this fresh start mentality with emphasis on organic shapes, biophilic accents and a new sense of personal style that makes a house feel like an inviting home.

BY CYNDI ZAWESKI

esign trends are ever-evolving, we’re seeing such unique interior trends in 2020 that no doubt will carry over to 2021. These are a few trends to watch.

Organic Shapes The use of sculpted shapes that help offset sleek modern minimalism is one aesthetic to keep an eye on, said

interior designer Caitlyn Davidian, who serves on the advisory board for Home Life Digest. Examples of these organic shapes range from a hand-carved wood cabinets, an organic-shaped plaster light fixture, a soft abstract metal coffee table or a serpentine sofa. ”These pieces soften the spaces they are in and are inviting and warm,” she said.

Blending interior and exterior elements is another way to create a breath of fresh air. Mixing elements of nature indoors creates a calming retreat. Materials like concrete, cast fiberglass and terrazzo are all being used now indoors. “We’re seeing the blend of these spaces, removing walls and making them more dynamic,” Davidian said.

Biophilic Design One of the most popular trends that will be flowing into 2021 is bringing nature into the home, Amy Hillary, interior design content writer at Wallsauce.com, said. Not only does this form of design include choosing natural colors, having a forest wall mural or a living wall, but it can also be the architectural design of an entire building. “Our lives are full of so much technology, bringing nature into the home is key to our internal harmony,” Hillary said. “Looking after our environment and finding a solution to plastic waste has become a priority — and the world of interior design has responded positively.” Using reused materials and bioplastics, designers are challenging themselves to create beautiful furniture and wall art to adorn our interiors. The ever-growing popularity of upcycling is also a form of sustainable furniture where no or few ‘new products’ are being wasted to create new, beautiful décor, Hillary said.

Wall Coverings When selecting an accent wall, interior Jay Britto, founding principal of Britto Charette, look at areas of a room or space that are at the end of an axis. For instance, placing a wall covering behind a headboard draws the eye to the important area of the bedroom and creates a focal point. This technique is also used to accentuate hallways and add visual interest. “A great trend in home décor is to use wall covering in a powder room,” Britto said. “It’s a fantastic and quick way to achieve a really dramatic effect without all of the construction, mess and fuss of tiling or marbling.” One future-forward trend is wall coverings that resemble wood. Just like the real deal, it comes in different stains and warms up a room, imparting a luxurious feel. Britto also recommends metallic coverings in a soft palette — not flashy but with an understated and sophisticated iridescence. “Wall covering materials have really improved in the last decade,” Britto said. “The materials we choose — paper, vinyl, etc. — depending on the space and its usage, traffic and the durability required. Choose wall coverings that look and feel like silk or linen for texture and added coziness in a room. Want to make an impressive statement in your room? Choose a wall covering that looks like marble.”

Layering Rugs The power of rugs as a home accessory is undeniable. Introducing a rug to a space can

instantly transform any area, adding style, warmth and a high-end look. “A rug should fit effortlessly into a room, enhancing the style and character of the space,” Jade Holroyd, SEO executive at Land of Rugs, said. “This is why matching the shape of a rug with the shape of other elements in the room is an important factor. Do you have a round table? These look fantastic when paired with a stylish round rug or even a square rug. Or, if you have a square table you can opt to either mirror the shape of the table or mix it up and go for a circular rug to add a unique feel to the space.” In terms of current rug trends, outdoor rugs and abstract and contemporary rugs are growing in popularity, alongside the long-term fan-favorite shaggy rug. All three types offer a broad selection of interesting and modern designs, providing a stylish way to accessorize a room and accentuate the beauty of your décor. With layering prints a popular interior design trend for 2020, abstract rug styles are the perfect way to introduce this trend into the home and add that all-important wow factor.

Personal Accessories Interior design is destined to become more personal in 2021. Due to the pandemic, many have taken this extra time as an opportunity to work on their own creative endeavors. From painting to photography — and everything in between — more and more people have their own creations to use as decoration. “I have a client who started painting with watercolors as a hobby,” John Linden, interior designer at Mirror Coop said. “She just keeps her latest finished piece in a designated spot and then replaces it once the next is finished. It’s a simple way to show off her new skill and add a unique touch to the space.” Linden also suggests hanging polaroids to design a photography wall. Just mounting polaroids with two-sided tape is the easiest way. If you are looking for something more formal, Framebridge is really high quality and easy. Just send them the photos New and they A send you aPerspective framed version. on Your Financial “It’s a really simple way to display photography and is very easy to change/update,” he said. In 2021, expect a return to nature, statement walls and a personal touch in home design.

Chef-Crafted

The dish on Rocco DiSpirito’s latest eats BY CYNDI ZAWESKI

If you think healthy and delicious meals are an oxymoron, James Beard award-winning chef Rocco DiSpirito will have you reconsidering the notion. The New York resident and New York Times bestselling author is a healthy lifestyle crusader.

e knows the struggle first hand. DiSpirito is a healthy lifestyle crusader who is recognized for his inspiring weight loss journey. His personal transformation led him to dedicate his life to proving that healthy and delicious are not mutually exclusive. In his latest cookbook Rocco’s Keto Comfort Food Diet, DiSpirito is serving up gourmet keto versions of the comfort foods you love. The increasingly popular low-carb, high-fat diet doesn’t spell sacrifice to food lovers. “That has been my goal, to take foods that people would have given up on and make them healthy,” he said. “In the 15 years I’ve been doing this there has been a lot of changes. There are more healthy ingredients available, which makes it easier for guys like me to make it available for everyone.” Using a four-tier program that can deliver up to a pound a day of weight loss, the cookbook includes easy meal plans and more than 80 of America’s favorite comfort food recipes made to adhere to keto diet guidelines. This is not just bacon and cheese-based recipes. We’re talking chocolate glazed donuts, cinna-

mon roll bites, “mac” and cheese, crispy keto fried chicken. DiSpirito is expanding on his promise to make healthy eating simple with his line of organic superfood supplements and snacks, including his newest product, Rocco’s Nut & Seed Bread. Both gluten free and vegan, it’s one of the most nutrient-dense and healthy breads on the market and comes fully baked ready to eat. This bread can work as a supplement, or as a meal replacement, and packs a fiber and omega 3 fatty acid punch as well. “Two things that clients always ask for are some sort of bun or bread,” he said. “This bread is nutritionally complete. If you just ate that bread, you would be on the perfect diet.” If you’re drooling to try DiSpirito’s food in-person, you’re in luck. DiSpirito just launched a new summer popup at Cleo and Mondrian Terrace, both in the Mondrian Park Avenue hotel in NoMad. Open for takeout and outdoor only dining through September, and following all social distance safety practices, the pop up features DiSpirito’s classic Italian comfort foods. “There are masks on every employee’s face, there’s a lot of gloves and sanitizer, but underneath it all you’ll find a traditional New York City restaurant with a great menu and friendly service,” he said. “My partner

and I wanted to recreate what you would know and love, with food at a certain level of quality you’d expect from a New York City restaurant.” Diners can expect flatbreads and what Dispirito calls the “best fritto misto of his career,” featuring Long Island calamari. The seasonal menu is sourced as local as possible, a hallmark of Dispirito’s cooking. “We are changing the menu on a daily basis to accommodate the

season,” he said. “Our drink list features all the best cocktails. They are not run-of-the-mill. Every cocktail has been carefully thought out.” Mondrian Park Avenue will also donate a portion of profits to City Harvest in support of its causes.

Sip Like The

Celebrities

Canned wine is the latest vino trend BY CYNDI ZAWESKI

What do Kate Bosworth, Emma Roberts and Target fans have in common? An affinity for Kim Crawford Wines.

mong the selling global Sauvignon Blanc brands, Kim Crawford Wines recently expanded its portfolio to include Rosé, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc wine. Perhaps, the very same varietal that made Kim Crawford a household name is now available cans. Each 250mL can contains 1.7 5oz servings of wine. The decision to introduce Kim Crawford’s iconic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc in cans was a logical next step for the brand, the creators said. Ideal for on-the-go imbibing, whether that’s at the park, beach or backyard, vino drinkers are forgoing traditional stemware in favor of popping a tab. According to Wine Spectator, the category is no longer a passing fad. In fact, canned varieties are one of the fastest-growing forms of alternative wine packaging on the market. In 2018, canned wine sales spiked 69 percent to more than $69 million, according to Nielsen consumer research. “Kim Crawford Cans were created to add an element of ease and convenience to the Kim Crawford enjoyment experience,” said Kim Crawford Winemaker, Anthony Walkenhorst. “Our canned variety offers the same Sauvignon Blanc known and loved by many, but designed for more relaxed and casual indulgence. Easy to simply toss in your work-out duffel or beach bag, Kim Crawford cans bring effortless enjoyment to the sipping experience.” These canned alternatives don’t skimp on quality. Top vineyards, including Bridge Lane Wines and Pindar Vineyards on the North Fork of Long Island, are offering top-notched canned wines that appeal to the masses. The recently debuted Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc cans feature the same taste and tropical aromas known and loved by many, but in the convenience of a single-serving can. “Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc is a fresh and bright wine with crisp acidity and tropical fruit flavors that complement the refreshing appeal of cans, which is why our Sauvignon Blanc drinks especially well out of cans and why this introduction is so exciting,” Walkenhorst said. “We did a lot of quality testing on our side to make sure the wine remains consistent with what our consumers have come to expect from the brand, and I believe everyone is going to really enjoy this new, portable and fun way to sip on their favorite Sauvignon Blanc.”

Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc pairs well with fresh oysters, asparagus, lobster or summer salads with tropical fruit, which complement the wine’s classic aromas of lifted citrus, tropical fruit and crushed herbs, Walkenhorst noted. Should you be planning any upcoming wine or cocktail parties, the newly crafted Kim Crawford Frosé is sure to transport you to a warm and sunny coastline of your choosing — even if COVID-19 keeps you stuck in the backyard.
