From the Editor

When you speak to the brightest people in any creative field, you can’t help but want to know how they can see what is invisible to everyone else. They may not know exactly how it comes to them, but they certainly have vision and a desire to explore the depths of their imagination. You can bet these creatives look for bright ideas everywhere. What often emerges is some sort of stunningly inspired creation that prompts us to gush: “I want that!” No matter if it’s couture on the fashion runways, an exquisitely designed room in a home, or something that simply defies categorization, we revere creative expression.

In this issue, you’ll see some of that creativity come to life in our pages.

In “Scene Stealers,” beginning on page 86, we asked local interior designers to craft beautiful tablescapes based on their favorite films. It’s fascinating to learn what they chose, why they chose it, and how their personal experiences and interests connect to what they designed for us, and for you.

In “Beauty & The Bath,” starting on page 102, more than a half-dozen designers weigh in on the latest bath trends for a quick refresh or a complete overhaul. The bath has long been a sanctuary in the home, a place where we can unwind and relax. In this feature, we offer plenty of ideas to create the most special escape in your own home. Over six pages, we delve into everything from unique sinks and what’s popular in tile to ways you can perk up your powder room—and have some fun doing it.

Cheers to bright ideas and applauding creativity in design, whether you’re the one doing the creating or simply reveling in another’s masterpiece.

Insider Singer-songwriter and Naples native Casey Weston will return to her hometown for two performances at Artis— Naples on February 21. The 25-year-old emerged on the local scene in her early teens, performing at local coffee shops, bars, and events. Her big break came at age 18, when she became a semifinalist on the first season of NBC’s Emmy Award-winning show The Voice. After appearing on the show, she moved to Nashville to build a career in the country music capital of the nation, but returns as often as possible to her loyal fan base in South Florida. —Anna Bjorlin

Q&A

CASEY WESTON

NI: Have you always wanted to be a singer?

Weston: Yes! My mom says that by the time I could talk, I was singing. I’d play My Heart Will Go On, get on top of the coffee table, and perform for my family and friends. In fact, I recently came across a little note I had written in first grade. It was about our dreams, and I had written that I wanted to be a professional singer. I even drew myself onstage, in a long, pretty dress, with lights and everything, and the drawing looked just like I did on The Voice. It was a little manifestation of a dream I had back when I was 7 years old.

What will you perform during your concert at Artis—Naples?

I’ll be doing some Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac songs, from Gypsy and Landslide to Gold Dust Woman and Tell Me Lies. They’re two of my

039_INSIDER open_0218.indd 39

biggest inspirations, along with Gavin DeGraw. I was lucky enough to have parents who didn’t let me just listen to Britney Spears and NSYNC. I also grew up listening to and loving the “golden oldies.”

How would you describe the signature style of your songs?

Raw. Real. Emotional. It’s important to be genuine when writing songs, and when you really believe what you’re singing, it comes across in your performance.

What’s next for you?

I’m releasing a new single in 2018, and have more music following that. I haven’t released anything since 2014, so I’m excited to share the songs I’ve been writing and working on over the past few years. It’s a different Casey.

I have a lot more to say.

Insider FOR THE RECORD

60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl shares the joys of reporting and what she discovered while exploring the science of grandmotherhood When veteran journalist Lesley Stahl talks about her work as a reporter, no matter the topic, you can hear the excitement in the timbre of her voice.

“It’s surprising how when I’m working on a story, it becomes my favorite,” says Stahl, a longtime correspondent with the CBS network’s iconic newsmagazine 60 Minutes.

“Right now, I’m doing a story on the science of seaweed,” she says. “I’m falling in love with seaweed—go explain that, right? I had my first taste of seaweed today and it tasted really good! I thought it was going to be horrible and that I would have to spit it out on camera. Anyway, I’m into it.”

Stahl is into her work with a passionate intensity that has yet to wane after a half century in broadcast news. She started as a researcher in the NBC News election unit in 1967, then later worked her way up the ranks at CBS. The award-winning journalist has maintained a strong footing that few achieve in such a competitive industry, especially considering she stumbled onto her career path with none of the obvious advantages.

“There were no journalists in my family,” Stahl says. “I never studied journalism. I knew nothing about journalism—it was so off my radar.”

But that would change in her 20s, while working for New York’s mayor as part of the speechwriting staff. When she walked into the press room at City Hall it was a moment of serendipity. “I went up to a reporter and asked: ‘What do you do all day?’,” she says. “When he finished telling me, it was like a thunderbolt. I loved everything he told me he did. Right then, I said, ‘I have to be a reporter, I have to do this.’ And it wasn’t easy. I really had to start at the bottom and rise up.”

From the beginning, she says, her biggest challenge had been writing for television—conveying a lot of information in very little time. “I am persistent by nature,” she says. “I’m nosy and curious, so I didn’t have to work on that, but I did have to work on writing. I also have written two books and never thought I would. It was a path I never saw.”

Her latest book, Becoming Grandma: The Joys and Sci-

&

ence of the New Grandparenting (Penguin Publishing Group, paperback edition, 2017), focuses on Stahl’s experiences as a grandmother, interviews with other highprofile grandparents, and all the physiological changes grandparents experience when they hold or spend time with their beloved grandkids.

“When I held my first grandchild, I had an emotion I couldn’t explain, a kind of loving I never had before,” says Stahl, who spoke to scientists, doctors, and anthropologists, among others, during her research for the book. “I also interviewed psychiatrists who had patients with depression, and [they] would tell [patients] to get more deeply involved with their grandchildren. They did and their depression eased.”

It appears the science of grandparenting backs up what many have long suspected was a foregone conclusion.

“When we have our grandchildren in our lives, we get healthier and happier,” Stahl says. —Teri Evans

Lesley Stahl will be the keynote speaker at the annual League Club luncheon (leagueclub.org) on February 23 at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples.

3 5 Creative Date Ideas 4 Plan the perfect night out (or daytime excursion) during the month of romance with these unique ideas your sweetheart is sure to love. —Anna Bjorlin 1. For a first date: If you prefer to keep it light and casual, go strawberry picking together at Farmer Mike’s U-Pick in Bonita Springs, which will host a festive Valentine’s Day Chocolate-Covered Berries special during the first two weeks of the month. And don’t forget to return for more berries during the farm’s Strawberry Festival later in the month. (farmermikesupick.com) 2. For music enthusiasts: Enjoy a twist on the traditional dinner and a show with Gulfshore Opera’s Valentine Taste of Opera celebration on February 13. Hosted at Shangri-La Springs in Bonita Springs, the evening will begin with an intimate cocktail reception and a three-course dinner of organic, locally grown food, followed by a concert of romantic music and famous opera scenes performed by Gulfshore Opera’s five professional artists-in-residence. (gulfshoreopera.org) 3. For hopeless romantics: When in search of a picturesque backdrop, you can’t beat Naples’ stunning sunsets aboard the Sweet Liberty catamaran. While sunset cruises are available for public excursions of up to 44 people, we recommend renting it for a two-hour private charter.

“Our sunset cruises are our most popular trips,” says Susan Chaplin, captain and co-owner of the company. “They make a perfect date night. We 42

often have proposals and even intimate weddings on our boat, and guests are welcome to bring a bottle of wine and a picnic basket on board.” (sweetliberty.com) 4. For the adventurous: Snuggle up aboard Island Hoppers Airplane Tours for a bird’s-eye view of the Paradise Coast. Twenty-minute excursions include glimpses of the mangrove islands and backwaters of Rookery Bay National Estuarine Reserve, while 40-minute tours soar along several beaches, from Marco Island to Keewaydin Island and up to the tip of Cape Romano. The hour-long tours also fly across the Ten Thousand Islands to the fishing village of Chokoloskee, and over the Everglades. (ravenair.net) 5. For art lovers: When planning a daytime date, what could be better than brunch and a leisurely stroll? Third Street South offers a plethora of delicious options. Stop in at Jane’s Garden Café for a mimosa and the lobster eggs benedict, or the bourbon vanilla Belgian waffles, if you’re feeling especially sweet. Walk it off with a tour of nearby art galleries along Third Street South or 12th Avenue. Perhaps you’ll find a new painting to gift your sweetheart at Harmon-Meek Gallery, which will feature solo exhibitions for three talented artists in February. Finish your stroll with a scenic view at Naples Pier, just a few blocks away.

Romantic Rendezvous

If you’re in the mood for an alfresco meal on the beach, we’ve got you covered. Brenda Mellilo, deli manager at Wynn’s Market, has plenty of experience when it comes to the art of packing picnics. —A.B.

THE HORS D’OEUVRES: Customized cheese and charcuterie trays are all the rage right now, so sample different types of meats and pâtés before selecting at least two or three kinds, along with some accompaniments.

“Olives are always a great choice, preferably pitted,” says Mellilo. “Add some small slices of bread on the side as well, and you can put together a little crostini.”

THE ENTRÉE: Salads, shrimp platters, and small sandwiches are the most portable and easiest to eat. Mellilo suggests a platter of pinwheel sandwiches, created when slicing a wrap sandwich into inch-and-a-half-thick rounds. For another twist on the traditional sandwich, she suggests trying a combination of brie, fresh turkey, and fig spread.

THE DESSERT: Chocolate-covered strawberries and raspberry-vanilla cupcakes are a few classic picnic indulgences, while a slice of Wynn’s famous chocolate mousse cake can’t help but sweeten the romance. And don’t forget the bubbly. “Champagne and sparkling wine, or even sparkling water, are always good choices,” says Mellilo.

Find the perfect setting for your picnic at Barefoot Beach Preserve in Bonita Springs, which features several picnic areas.

Naples’ Lowdermilk Park also offers a scenic setting for picnics in the sand—or set up at the park’s gazebos and tables. And for the ultimate private getaway, you can’t beat Lovers Key State Park, named for its long history of lovers traveling to the island to enjoy the remote and beautiful beach together.

Master of the

Wheel

By Kerry Shorr | Photography by Ashley Meyer

Jim Rice (above ) has been creating unique pottery in Naples for more than four decades.

It is an artist’s intent to captivate, surprise, and incite a turn of the head that suggests there’s something magical going on here. Naples potter extraordinaire Jim Rice does just that with his whimsical, Nemo-esque clay fish platters and mosaics that have been delighting Naples residents for more than four decades.

Born in Kent, Ohio, Rice moved to Naples in 1973 and opened his first studio. In 1980, he expanded to his current location on Shadowlawn Drive. Known as The Clay Place, this lush, verdant compound with its laidback vibe (think Naples circa 1969) is comprised of three buildings: a studio, a kiln room, and a sunlit gallery.

“This is a great location, a corner property, tucked away off the beaten path, and I am blessed to have it,” says Rice. “It’s my sanctuary.”

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say his tropical-colored clay sensations are everywhere you turn in Naples. From the popular Poem Fish (personalized platters with poems such as “A fisherman lives here with the catch of his life!”) to wall murals, wedding pottery, and everything in between. Among his latest popular creations are a microwave bacon crisper and an egg poacher—

Rice’s studio (pictured above) is his sanctuary. His whimsical pottery ranges from serving bowls to the ever-popular fish platters.

doesn’t everyone need one?

At The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club, Rice’s whimsical marine-life clay plaques are used as room numbers and restroom markers. During the hotel’s most recent renovation, he created custom tiles in the swimming pool to replace the original ones he designed 25 years earlier. “He pressed pine branches, sea grape leaves, and other pieces of nature [into the tiles],” says Ellin Goetz, an acclaimed landscape architect whose husband’s family owns the hotel. “It was incredible, and so reflective of Naples.”

For another project, he made a pair of Haitian-style hippos that were installed in a mosaic format in the deep end of the swimming pool. “Exhibiting an artist’s eye and a craftsman’s sensibility, he uses colors in a natural way that are so reflective of the Gulf of Mexico,” Goetz says. “That’s simply quite endearing and unique.”

Rice’s ceramic art is straightforward and reflective of the man—carefully seeded with an abundance of pith and play. There is no pretense here; what you see is what you get. And what you get is positively, authentically happy.

PHILIP DOUGLAS SALON Winter is drawing to a close, the days are longer and the light is brighter. Here at the Philip Douglas Salon, we are leaving hair a bit longer, with more layers that are slightly shattered, giving hair more movement and a fresh modern edge. To compliment this new movement in the cut we are adding Baby Lights, which are “baby” fine highlights placed around the face and crown to brighten up the face. Baby lights are a great way to transition from the more solid, deeper shades of winter into brighter shades of summer.

They are low maintenance and are perfect on everyone!

Chic Statement WHO: BROOKE GARBER NEIDICH, OWNER AND DESIGNER OF SIDNEY GARBER FINE JEWELRY FAMILY BUSINESS: INHERITED THE COMPANY FROM HER FATHER, WHO FOUNDED THE CHICAGO-BASED BRAND IN 1946 PASSION FOR PHILANTHROPY: CO-FOUNDER OF THE CHILD MIND INSTITUTE, A NONPROFIT SPECIALIZING IN CHILDREN’S MENTAL HEALTH CARE ICONIC PIECES: DELICATE FEATHER EARRINGS, CHIC DOME CUFFS, AND STACKABLE ROLLING BRACELETS WHERE TO FIND HER JEWELRY: MARISSA COLLECTIONS, NAPLES

By Anna Bjorlin NI: When did you become involved with the family business?

Neidich: When my father died in 2008, I had a whole other

life established in New York. But I inherited the company and it was up to me to figure out if I wanted to close it or not.

It was really terrible timing; we were in the middle of a recession, and I knew that if I closed the business, the people working there–many for 10, 20 years–wouldn’t have been able to get jobs. So I kept it, and decided I’d like it more if I could give away my profits.

Since taking over, how have you put your own mark on the company?

I opened a store in New York, which was huge. We also started wholesaling, so we’re at six different Barneys in New York and two specialty stores similar to Marissa Collections in California.

“

I don’t want my jewelry sitting in a safe somewhere, too fussy to wear except while in a ball gown. I want it to be wearable on a daily basis, throughout the day.”

What sets your jewelry apart from other brands?

Its wearability. I don’t like things that are stiff and don’t move, so there’s a fluidity to the designs and extraordinary movement in the pieces. Plus, they’re incredibly comfortable and can be worn with a variety of outfits. I’ve seen people wear my rolling bracelets with T-shirts and shorts as well as evening gowns.

What kind of jewelry presents a challenge to design?

Earrings, because of their weight. I hate heavy earrings, but I love big looks. Being a woman who loves jewelry makes a huge difference, since I know that if the earrings are over a certain weight, you’re going to get a headache. I’ve started working in titanium, which has given us a bolder earring that’s far lighter to wear.

Do you have a favorite or signature piece from your collection you wear every day?

The dome cuffs or rolling bracelets. I started out wearing one dome cuff in 1980, and then two, and now three. With the rolling bracelets, I started with two and always wear at least three or four now.

LAURIE ROSE

OWNER, OLDE NAPLES CHOCOLATE When Laurie Rose heard Olde Naples Confectionary needed a new owner, she jumped at the chance to relocate from New Jersey to Southwest Florida. “We were looking for a reason to move down here permanently, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity,” says Rose, who had already been vacationing in Naples for several years with her husband’s family. “I’d been baking and making treats for family and friends my entire life, and I thought owning a chocolate store would be a really fun adventure.” After taking over, she changed the name of the shop and began tweaking its products. Fourteen years later, Olde Naples Chocolate (oldnapleschocolate.com) continues to supply local chocoholics with classic treats like salted caramels and truffles, as well as unique Florida-style gifts such as seashell-shaped chocolates and edible sea glass candies. Rose also offers chocolate-making classes and parties, where guests can leave with a pound of chocolate they’ve made right there in her shop. —Anna Bjorlin

“

I’D BEEN BAKING AND MAKING TREATS FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS MY ENTIRE LIFE, AND I THOUGHT OWNING A CHOCOLATE STORE WOULD BE A REALLY FUN ADVENTURE.”

NI: What is the secret to your longevity?

Rose: We’re the quintessential small-town chocolate shop. We don’t try to be too trendy, but instead focus on improving our handcrafted chocolates and traditional treats.

What is your favorite type of chocolate?

My current favorite is our dark chocolate cookie butter, which is made of cookies with just a hint of ginger that you can spread like peanut butter.

How many chocolates do you eat in an average day?

At least four pieces, but you have to when you’re

in my business. I keep in shape through triathlons; I probably do about 12 in a normal year. I actually learned to swim five years ago just so I could participate in them.

Do you have any special classes coming up this month?

We have two Valentine’s chocolate classes for adults on February 6 and 8. We’re also hosting a kids chocolate class on February 10, where they can come in and make chocolates for themselves or as a gift for someone else.

RENOVATION STYLE

OLD IS NEW AGAIN

A dated Mediterranean structure gets new life, inspired by Old Naples architecture

n the early 1990s, many homes built in Old Naples followed the popular Mediterranean style. Ten years later, the style was no longer in vogue. The owner of a 4,000-square-foot Mediterranean home loved everything about her house—the floor plan, the size, and especially the location on a canal in Old Naples—except for the dated architectural expression.

It was time for a change.

Matthew Kragh, architect and principal of Naples-based MHK Architecture & Planning, was the right person for the job. Kragh strives to create homes aligned with a time when Naples was a fishing village with charming cottages dotting the coastline, circa the early 1900s. His inspiration comes from the Naples Backyard History museum. “In Naples, nothing about Mediterranean design is true to the history of the area,” he says. “Everything about these homes was fake, including the materials used.”

Starting with the front elevation, the two round columns at the entryway, which were disproportionate to the rest of the house, were squared off, and a two-story entry with a gabled roof

was added. To imbue the facade with old Florida style, Kragh’s team stripped off the excess stonework and replaced it with stucco, horizontal lap siding, and brackets. A new metal roof, typical of Florida cottages, further articulated the architectural direction.

The client was delighted but realized the interior also needed a radical update. She commissioned interior designer Bethany O’Neil of O’Neil Interior Design in Naples, who in turn enlisted Jerry Maxson of Naplesbased Legacy Homes to help implement her plans.

What started out as a small project took on a breadth of major proportions. Removing the heavy Mediterranean features, down to the structure, and replacing dark finishes with white hues dramatically changed the home’s vibe. In place of the original tile, hardy oak plank flooring stained with a walnut finish was installed throughout. O’Neil chose a color palette of pale green, coral, and gold. Persian rugs in muted, pastel tones added a note of tradition without a heavy hand.

O’Neil says the biggest challenge was creating openness without compromising the design. The family room and kitchen were combined into one contiguous space to facilitate the flow of traffic and light. The kitchen is warm and 68

welcoming, with glazed ceramic Mexican tiles in shades of sage green and buttermilk. To achieve continuity, O’Neil appointed the bamboo and wicker counter stools with the same fabric introduced in the family room and used the same neoclassical-style chairs in the dining room and breakfast nook.

In the adjacent family room, a white-painted coffered ceiling human-

izes the scale and reiterates the cottage style. Though there is technology in the room, it is well concealed.

For example, a TV rises from a gray-green quartzite countertop on the custom built-in but is tucked away when not in use.

O’Neil solved the once awkward–looking living room by adding wood paneling over the French doors. That lengthened the door form and added height, resulting in a perfectly proportioned room.

Andrea Douglas of Outside Productions International (OPI) in Naples was brought in to continue the transformation to the outdoor living space. Stone decking and all-new finishes on the pool and three lounging areas seamlessly integrate the exterior and interiors.

A particularly attractive outdoor area is the recessed fire pit, which provides a cozy conversation nook on chilly evenings. The green and cream palette here relates to the indoor color scheme, enhancing the connection among spaces.

From this vantage point, the owner can watch snook swim up at night, attracted

by a special light. It’s one of many charms of a canal-front setting.

The renovation was admittedly extensive, but not daunting, thanks to Kragh and his team of pros. “Homeowners should not be discouraged if their house looks dated,” says Kragh. “For the most part, if a house has good bones, you can put a different skin on any existing structure. We do it quite often.” «

At once a step back in time and a leap toward tomorrow, Dubai is a twenty-first-century metropolis in the heart of the Middle East

odern-day Dubai emerges from the desert like a futuristic mirage.

Acres of chrome, steel, and glass have reclaimed sandy swaths of land. Ribbons of highway connect modest markets with world-renowned structures.

Even water is no barrier to construction in Dubai, a city that specializes in erecting manmade islands where only sea once existed.

The best way to take it all in is from above—and Dubai abounds in amazing vantage points. Perhaps the most well-known is the Burj Khalifa, which, at 2,717 feet, is the world’s tallest building. Visitors can step onto the observation deck on the 124th floor,

or go even higher to another outdoor terrace on level 148. Either way, you’re in for comprehensive vistas and a welcomed temperature drop of up to 15 degrees.

But when it comes to picturesque panoramas, nothing beats the dual views from the Royal Bridge Suite at Atlantis The Palm, Dubai (atlantisthepalm.com). A fixture on the Instagram accounts of social media stars like Kim Kardashian and the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, this suite exudes opulence. Enter from a private elevator and a personal butler will escort you through rooms decked out with gold-hued linens, orchids galore, and frescoed ceilings.

All of this pales in comparison to the sights awaiting on either balcony. Located in the bridge connecting Atlantis’ two towers, this suite overlooks the Persian Gulf on one side and the Dubai Royal Bridge Suite bathroom skyline on the other. From the

latter spot, you can see The Palm, an artificial set of islands, for its true shape: a trunk and 16 fronds, all capped by a crescent where the resort resides.

The Royal Bridge is one of Atlantis’ seven signature suites, including two underwater suites that are more magical than novelty. The bottom floors of these multistoried spaces look into the 11-million-liter Ambassador Lagoon, meaning you can say hello to stingrays as you enjoy breakfast in bed or soak in the tub as sharks swim by.

The ocean theme doesn’t end there. Atlantis’ lobby centers around a massive Dale Chihuly sculpture that hides glass sea creatures within its interlocking tentacles.

The East Tower houses the Lost Chambers Aquarium. Opt for a Fish Tales Tour to go behind the scenes, with stops at the on-site hospital and up to the Ambassador Lagoon to feed the fish. Want to dive even deeper?

Nestled on the eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, Dubai’s climate most closely resembles that of Las Vegas—very dry and very hot. Summer temperatures often exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit, so the best time to visit is during the winter. Dubai is a Muslim country, but women are only required to cover their heads, arms, and legs in religious areas like mosques. As a general rule, however, it’s best to dress modestly.

its residents—no diving experience necessary. There’s also morning yoga in the aquarium, practiced not in the water but inside the Lost Chambers.

For the ultimate family-friendly outing, spend a day at Aquaventure water park. Spanning 42 acres, Aquaventure boasts numerous river rides and slides. Adrenaline junkies will love The Leap of Faith, a nine-story plunge into a transparent tube that crosses the aquarium. For something slightly tamer but no less exciting, try Zoomerango, a group slide that will leave adults giggling like schoolkids.

075_ESCAPE_0218.indd 77

Even the restaurants at Atlantis aren’t free from aquatic influences. With a dining room that shares glass walls with the lagoon, Ossiano pairs an underwater atmosphere with a seafood-centric menu by chef Grégoire Berger. The beverage and food program takes a modern, playful approach, with creations like the Pearl Diver cocktail that comes with a side “pearl” of green tea encapsulated in white chocolate.

Ossiano is one of 23 restaurants at Atlantis. There’s also a trio of celebrity chef outposts: Ronda Locatelli, with Italian fare by Giorgio Locatelli; Nobu, featuring high-end Japanese cuisine from Nobu Matsuhisa; and Bread Street Kitchen & Bar, an Englishstyle pub focused on the cooking of Gordon Ramsay. (His famous beef Wellington doesn’t disappoint.)

Escape with a fine-dining sensibility, Ayamna is a feast to save room for. Everything from the cold mezzeh course to traditional desserts like mahalabiya (pistachio cream topped with apricot nectar) proves as luscious as the restaurant’s exotic decor.

Between the activities, eateries, beaches, pools, and spa, visitors could theoretically spend an entire Dubai vacation at Atlantis.

But one simply cannot ignore the extraordinary city on the other side of The Palm.

Despite its ancient geography, the majority of Dubai’s skyscrapers are products of the twenty-first century. Highlights include the Burj Al Arab, a luxury hotel designed to resemble a ship’s sail, and the Dubai Frame, which looks, well, like a giant picture frame. In terms of attractions, there’s an indoor ski resort, a plethora of theme parks, adventures on the sand dunes, and The Dubai Mall, the world’s

largest shopping center. (Noticing a superlative pattern here?)

While most of Dubai’s top destinations are new, the city actually dates back to 1833, when members of the Bani Yas tribe settled at Dubai Creek. Today, this inlet slices through the main business district, with Deira to the north and Bur Dubai to the south. On either side rests a bounty of souks (markets). Start at the Textile Souk to barter for a colorful caftan before crossing the creek to explore the spice and gold markets.

Just how should you handle the crossing? The most authentic way is to hail a water taxi, known as abra. Hand over one dirham (about 25 cents) and squeeze on board for the five-minute ride. If you’re lucky, your trip will coincide with dusk, when the harsh sun wanes, imbuing the water with a crystalline elegance.

If you’re even luckier, the early evening call to prayer will beckon you ashore. With the sounds of this ancient ritual echoing through the streets and the welcoming aromas of cardamom and turmeric wafting through the air, you’ll find it hard to ever say goodbye to Dubai. «

Surf Club Redux

The legendary social club has found new life as a quietly glamorous Four Seasons resort By Daphne Nikolopoulos In the 1930s, when The Surf Club was in its heyday, a wide cross section of the rich and famous ranging from industrialists to entertainment royalty converged in tiny Surfside to soak in the sunshine and glittering company that included names such as Churchill, Hope, Sinatra, and Coward.

The blink-and-you-miss-it town just north of Miami was the perfect place to fly under the radar while engaging in a bit of debauchery. Prohibition? What Prohibition?

Though that altar to pleasure is no more, its glamorous legacy lives on in its reincarnation as the Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club. The hotel and its adjacent residences, realized by Pritzker Prize– winning architect Richard Meier and 82

Parisian interior designer Joseph Dirand, wrap around the original club, a Mizner-inspired masterpiece by architect Russell Pancoast. A cool mix of modernity and history, the new Four Seasons lures travelers with nine oceanfront acres, 72 airy tower rooms that open up to sea and sky, day and

overnight cabanas, a glorious iteration of Amalfi Coast landmark Le Sirenuse, and a holistic spa with global offerings, including a hammam.

The cabana culture is, perhaps, the biggest draw. Back in the day, “Cabana Row” was where it all happened: aristocrats sipping Mangarevas poolside, Winston Churchill painting seascapes, Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack cronies sashaying across the deck. The cabanas were once supremely ornate, recalling Moroccan palaces and French castles. Today’s version is light and bright, with rattan furnishings and white-on-white palettes accented by palm frond green.

The day cabanas are sublime, but for the ultimate Surf Club experience, book one of five overnight cabanas and live like the legends of a faded era.

For wellness enthusiasts, Cabana Row also houses two spa cabanas. Melting into a massage while the surf crashes a few steps away is one way to find bliss.

The other is in the spa itself, a marble sanctuary for the senses. Global-themed treatments like Abhyanga and Shirodhara, both Ayurvedic modalities, promote a sense of peace and balance, while the Turkish-style hammam is a sensuous indulgence unlike any other.

For the Tropical Hammam Experience, you spend 90 minutes in a private steam room being exfoliated, milk-bathed, massaged, and luxuriously hydrated. Expect to sweat—and feel like a million dollars after.

brings a touch of Positano to South Florida. Ensconced within the marvelous architecture of the Surf Club clubhouse, with its vaulted and stenciled ceilings, the restaurant offers classics from the mother ship and fare reimagined for the Miami milieu. The Fagotello Genovese, pasta purses stuffed with beef ragu and topped with mozzarella reduction and black truffle, is a dream, but save room for the frozen “lake” of pistachio gelato finished with crushed pistachios and edible flowers. It’s impossible to resist.

Later this year, Thomas Keller of French Laundry fame will open a restaurant at Mangareva the property.

$49,900, though I doubt few will leave dealer showrooms for less than $70,000.

But this is a different kind of Range Rover, a 4x4 targeted more at the luxury sports sedan buyer than someone considering an off-roader. The only rodeo the Velar will likely visit is Rodeo Drive.

Not to say it can’t climb the side of Everest if called on. It’s a Range Rover after all, and that distinction comes with the ability to wade through water up to two feet deep or raise its body on air suspension to clamber over rocks. Part of this more athletic character can be attributed to the fact that under its supermodel exterior the Velar shares its greasy bits (platform, engines, transmission) with Jaguar’s F-Pace SUV. Buyers can choose from three new state-ofthe-art engines. The base motor is a gas-sipping 2.0-liter turbo four with 247 horsepower. Next up is a 30-mpg-highway 2.0-liter turbo diesel.

But the 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 packing a healthy 380 hp is by far the most appealing.

A

Perfect

This is the motor powering our loaded $87,100 Velar P380 R-Dynamic HSE tester, and it’s a jewel. Coupled to a swift-shifting 8-speed automatic, it can punch this aluminum-bodied 4x4 from rest to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds.

Performance is refined, muscular, and downright exhilarating.

One of my criticisms of Jag’s F-Type sport-ute is the firmness of its ride, which can loosen dental work on rough roads. But the Velar’s air suspension has been tuned more for comfort than speed so it drives smoother while still keeping body roll in check.

Land Rover has hit one way out of the ballpark with this new Velar. No other midsize luxe SUV—i.e. Porsche Macan, Mercedes GLE, and BMW X5—looks this cool or has this much capability. Call it a Velar hurrah. «

EAT, PRAY, LOVE Kira Krümm

As an avid zen seeker and world traveler, Kira Krümm deeply connected with the 2010 film, where Julia Roberts portrays Elizabeth Gilbert in a globetrotting journey to eat, pray, and love her way to a meaningful life. Inspired by Gilbert’s best-selling memoir, Krümm created a grounded vignette featuring collected pieces from her travels, such as a bronze Bodhisattva figure from her first trip to China, as well as a black and brown batik scarf, woven box, and salt-and-pepper set from a visit to Indonesia. Other meaningful touches include crystals (for good energy) and a feather (for good luck); a woO’Neil leaf album and a silver fortune cookie thanybamboo Beven from her wedding; and a hand-woven heart made of palm leaves as a token of love and a reminder to always follow your heart.

THE GREAT GATSBY Bethany O’Neil

With a nod to a scene in the 1974 film, in which Jay Gatsby is set to reunite with his beloved Daisy and fills the room with white roses, this designer vignette abounds with flowers. Keeping with the light and airy feel of the classic movie, Bethany O’Neil crafted an elegant table in shades of white and ney ry Maho Mapink, cream, soft touches of pale and hints of gold. The romantic centerpiece of peonies in varying shades of pink is placed amid glassware etched with a dainty floral pattern. The place settings also harken back to another era as they feature fine china passed down from O’Neil’s great-grandmother. In another homage to Daisy, a beautifully sheer sun hat is placed on a chair, just the type Daisy would wear during sweltering summer afternoons.

EAT, PRAY, LOVE Kira Krümm

This bold, colorful tablescape illustrates the blending of two worlds that was a theme in the award-winning romantic drama.

A tribal warrior mask juxtaposed with fine china and a delicate porcelain pitcher with a branch for a handle are just some of the details in this tablescape designed to illustrate the merging of two worlds—a theme in the epic 1985 romantic drama set in Africa. The main character, a wealthy Danish woman played by Meryl Streep, moves to Africa and tries to keep some of the elegance and comportment of her old life while embracing her new one. Interior designer Jenny Provost related to the character as she experienced that same pull and now has a house in Africa’s wine country. For this vignette, a stunning embroidered work of art, based on a photograph of a tribal woman in Kenya layered in colorful beads, sets the color palette for the decor with rich reds, blues, green, and gold. Black-and-white taper candles are a nod to the zebra and the big contrasts found in nature. K2 Design Group, Be Naples thany O’Neil (239-444-5205, k2design.net)

BATH REFRESH:

QUICK TIPS

1. Change the mirrors. “Vanity mirrors with built-in LED lighting, which can also be backlit, provide great lighting and a clean look,” says Faith Fix of Freestyle Interiors.

2. Replace cabinet hardware. “This is a simple and fun update,” says Bethany O’Neil of Bethany O’Neil Interior Design. “There are so many options; Smith & Deshields has the biggest selection in town.”

3. Add a small ceiling fan. “In our super humid environment, an overhead fan when you are trying to get dry is a cheap luxury,” says Jenny Provost of K2 Design Group.

5. Go off the wall. “Use grasscloth on the walls, or add some fun with trim or paint, such as cabana stripes,” Fix says.

Cabana stripes on the wall of this bathroom by Freestyle Interiors is a fun way to perk up the room.

4. Swap towel bars for hooks. “Everyone in Florida knows towels can’t dry quickly enough to reuse when they are folded,” O’Neil says. “Hooks are convenient, and useful for other items such as bathrobes, overnight hanging toiletry bags, and clothing on a hanger.”

SINK INTO STYLE

The aesthetic of an entire bathroom can be set with the selection of the sink.

For a contemporary minimalist look, trough and integral sinks in solid stone are trending among many local designers. But for Denise Ward of Denise Ward Interior Design, the wall-mounted and vessel sinks are the favored choice. “These sinks are now being made from glass, basalt, metal, and bamboo,” Ward says. “Using one of them can make an ordinary space extraordinary.”

Meanwhile, Bethany O’Neil of Bethany O’Neil Interior Design is noticing the industrial look “everywhere.”

“Sinks are going to a square shape and

clean, sleek lines can be found on most faucets,” O’Neil says. “Plumbing is even starting to show texture on some of the bases of faucets and lever handles, such as adding ribbing and stamped textures on nuts and bolts.”

And with the ongoing trend of transitional design, mixing classic with contemporary, Jenifer Davison of Collins & DuPont Design Group points to a major shift in the finishes on fixtures. Traditional satin, nickel, and chrome finishes are being replaced with bronze, brass, rose gold, and even matte black. “Faucets now look like pieces of sculptured art,” Ward says, “and if they operate automatically, all the better.”

A MELTING POT OF MATERIAL DELIVERS A WOW FACTOR IN TILE

LORI HAMILTON

TOP TRENDS IN

Tile is a mainstay in bathroom design. While some may still prefer that it serve as a neutral backdrop, advances in technology have created more possibilities for customization and artistry than ever before.

“As technology evolves, the trend in tile is moving more toward waterjet mosaic design,” says Jenifer Davison of Collins & DuPont Design Group. “It gives you more options because you can literally change every element to it. You can use any color stone, substitute glass or mirror, or use a combination. You can even incorporate steel or wood, such as a stainless-steel inlay with marble or wood cut with stone, in the same waterjet mosaic.”

There have been dramatic and creative improvements in porcelain tiles as well, according to Jenny Provost of K2 Design Group. “We are using them as wall surfaces throughout the house,” she says. “There are some very exciting dimensioned tiles, which have shape to them—they are not just flat surfaces.”

Patterned tile is also on trend and making a comeback with decorative elements, according to Bethany O’Neil Interior Design Denise Ward of Denise Ward Interior Design.

“A mixture of glass and marble is outrageously popular these days,” adds Bethany O’Neil of Bethany O’Neil Interior Design. “Artistic tiles combine the materials in a 12-inch square mesh, which makes for a smoother installation.”

There is now a multitude of colors, sizes and patterns in custom ceramic tiles, adds Laura Parsons of Pure Design of Naples. She suggests Californiabased FireClay Tile, which uses recycled materials for its handmade and hand-painted tiles.

WAYS TO PERK UP A POWDER ROOM

Bethany O’Neil Interior Design

2

The Mirror: “Be creative and mirror the entire wall behind the vanity and then hang a decorative mirror onto that,” says Judith Liegeois of Judith Liegeois Designs. “It creates a wonderfully unique space and a moody escape.”

The Sink: “For powder

rooms, I am in love with simple pedestal sinks like Lacava’s Ottavo,” says Jenny Provost of K2 Design Group.

4

The Vanity: “It’s usually a small room, and the vanity is the major focal point, so you need to pack a punch,” says Bethany O’Neil of Bethany O’Neil Interior Design, who suggests Atlanta-based J. Tribble, which makes luxury custom vanities that resemble furniture.

3

The wall: “Check out some

of the new digital image wallcoverings that can turn your powder room into a forest or a subway station,” Provost says. “Do something unexpected like wood paneling or a crazy organic art installation.”

5

The Lighting: “This is still a bathroom with a purpose and you will need sconces,” O’Neil says. “They don’t have to function for everyday use; their objective is to shed light and make you feel beautiful. No one wants to see their wrinkles, so I suggest you keep the wattage at 40.”

If you believe that chocolate pairs perfectly with cool weather (or any season, for that matter), head to Ristorante Ciao (ristoran teciao.com) and try La Bomba.

This traditional dessert from the Veneto region of Italy contains a layer of slivered almonds sandwiched between slices of vanilla and chocolate gelato, encased in a dark chocolate shell. It’s a specialty of chef-owner Gianfranco Loreti, who hails from the tiny village of Colle di Tora near Rome. A close relative of the tartufo, it’s the perfect way to end a meal, accompanied by a rich, concentrated espresso. —Mark Spivak

confidential CHEF GREG SCARLATOS

Smoked seafood dip

Unlike most chefs, cooking was an accidental career for Greg Scarlatos.

He whipped up meals for his fraternity brothers in college, but didn’t take his first restaurant job—as a breakfast cook at a Holiday Inn—until he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in English.

Scarlatos logged stints as a line cook at several boutique French restaurants, then honed his skills at the Country Club of Orlando under master chef Raymond Pitts. It was a crash course in the culinary arts, working on “everything from ice carving to Lowcountry swamp food,” he says. After earning his degree from the American Culinary Foundation, Scarlatos spent three years as chef at Angelina’s Ristorante in Bonita Springs before opening Fuse, which combines influences as diverse as Asia and the American South. At press time, he was getting ready to open Fuse BBQ, another eclectic venture: “Our brisket is Texas style,” he says, “our ribs are Memphis, our pork is from Carolina, and our chicken is jerk.” —Mark Spivak

Korean bbq bao

What was the idea behind Fuse?

Simply put, I wanted to do my own thing. I enjoy putting different ethnic cuisines together.

Where do you source some of your more exotic ingredients?

I always know a guy who knows a guy. A friend told me about the Broken Arrow Ranch in Texas, which is where my quail and wild boar come from. I get the kangaroo from Australia, where it’s farm-raised.

Where did your interest in ethnic cuisines come from?

My parents were foodies, so we went to a lot of different restaurants: Japanese, Thai, German, Spanish. I’ve also been exposed to a lot of island influences, as well as food from the Deep South.

If you hadn’t become a chef, what would your career have been?

I love to sculpt, but I can’t make a living doing it. I used to make jewelry, and I’ve worked in clay and plaster of paris. Metal work is very Zen-like for me. It’s the same artistic expression.

If you could only eat one meal, what would it be?

My grandmother’s chicken salad. She had arthritis, so it took her a long time to make it, and the result reflected the joy she had in making it for us.

What would we find if we looked in your home fridge?

Not much, because I’m at the restaurant most of the time. We enjoy dairy, things like yogurt and cheese, and simple food like roast chicken and vegetables. I experiment and promote many different ingredients at work, but we’re much more basic at home.

Champagne Wishes Rosé Champagne is one of the most seductive wine categories, and a perfect fit for Valentine’s Day (or any date night). As with other forms of bubbly, the carbon dioxide carries the alcohol immediately into the bloodstream, so it’s no coincidence we feel silly after a glass or two. The major Champagne houses have traditionally kept rosé production low, so it tends be more expensive and harder to find—not unlike true love. Here are some choices in all price ranges: Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Rosé ($45): Blended from 90-percent red grapes (Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier), this harmonious and elegant wine is aged at least three years in the cellar prior to release. The racy red fruits pair well with exotic cuisines, such as Indian and Vietnamese.

Veuve Clicquot Brut Rosé 2008 ($90): From a vintage known for powerful fruit and crisp acidity, the 2008 explodes in the mouth with a profusion of red berry flavors. The texture is rich and ample, making this a good match for dishes ranging from salmon to lamb.

Krug Brut Rosé ($295): “There is Champagne,” goes the saying, “and then there is Krug.” The style is exotic and controversial, a sensory overload of ripe raspberry, red currant, and rhubarb, along with a tinge of earthiness. The wine cries out for veal, pork, poultry, or wild game. —M.S.

For an Italian family, beginning a meal with a platter of salumi, or cured meats, is a sign of celebration—the equivalent of a caviar starter in other cultures.

“Before refrigeration, curing was the only way to preserve meat,” says Jason Goddard, corporate chef at Sea Salt and Barbatella. “Now it’s a way of life. A platter of salumi is homage to the past, a toast to their culture of gastronomy.” Jason spent six months backpacking through Northern Italy, visiting producers and touring their facilities to make the finest selections for Barbatella, and it changes according to availability.

Aside from the traditional prosciutto di Parma, Goddard’s favorites in the cured and dried category include speck (juniper-flavored ham originally from Tyrol, slow-smoked for 21 days) and bresaola, air-dried salted beef aged for several months. Salami is another form of salumi, and items such as sopressata and salame di Felino are constants on Barbatella’s menu, as is ‘nduja, a spicy, spreadable salami originally from Calabria. “Softer salami should be sliced thick,” Goddard says. “The harder and firmer the meat, the thinner you should slice it; prosciutto di Parma should be paper-thin.”

When serving a platter at home, Goddard recommends these musthave garnishes: rustic country bread or crostini; stone-ground mustard; fresh figs or fig preserves; a salad of arugula and burrata; pickles or pickled vegetables; dried apricots (he serves a curried apricot relish at Barbatella). If you can find it, use the highly prized mostarda di Cremona, fruits marinated in mustard oil. To find an array of meats and garnishes, he suggests Whole Foods or Wynn’s Market, and says his customers are also buzzing about Deromo’s Gourmet Market in Bonita Springs. —M.S.

Super Bowl SOIREE Wings, pigs in blankets, and chips and dip: Super Bowl parties tend to be more about camaraderie and team loyalty than food. But have you ever wondered what chefs prepare for their own gridiron celebration? We asked Lisa Resch of the Carolina Catering Company for some of her favorite dishes. Resch recently partnered with Bryan Sutton, former chef at Veranda E, to launch The Rooster Food and Drink (theroosternaples.com). “Bryan is from Texas and I grew up in Louisville,” she says, “so I’d describe it as a coastal café with a Southern influence. Most of what we serve is comfort food from below the Mason-Dixon line.” For her Super Bowl picks, Resch jazzes up traditional dishes with bold flavor.

Ginger Almond Jidori Chicken Wings Mix 1 cup mango chutney with 1 cup mayo. After frying the wings, rub them with the mayo mix. Then, sauté ½ cup ginger, ½ cup lime juice, 1 tsp. chili paste, and a splash of olive oil. Once blended, toss in 2 cups sliced, toasted almonds and pour it over the wings.

Grilled Florida Spiny Lobster Tails with Key Lime Coconut Mustard Resch gets her seafood from local fisherman Tim Dillingham. The secret to this treat is in the sauce, which is deceptively simple. Mix 1 can of Coco Lopez cream of coconut, 1 cup Key lime juice, 1 tbsp. dijon mustard, ½ cup shredded coconut, lime zest, and salt and pepper to taste.

Crunchy Jalapeño Honey Chickpeas Sauté sliced jalapeños, butter, and local honey until it thickens. Rinse and shell 2 cans of chickpeas and toast in the oven until dry. Pour sauce over the chickpeas, add ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, and mix as it hardens.

To accompany her feast, Resch recommends local craft brews like Liquid Sunshine (Naples Beach Brewery), Paddlepass (Riptide Brewing Company), and Pierce’s Pale (Momentum Brewhouse). “You’ll be eating spicy food over a long period of time,” she says, “so you definitely want either cold beer or iced tea.” —M.S.

ON THE MOVE

Winter residents returning for the season may be hunting in vain for one of their favorite French restaurants, Le Lafayette. The reason they can’t find it can be summed up in two words: Hurricane Irma.

“Our roof collapsed during the storm in September,” says chef-owner Sebastien Maillard, whose restaurant had long been a fixture in downtown Naples, “and we were forced out due to water damage.”

The restaurant has temporarily relocated to 3560 Tamiami Trail East, under the name of Bistro La Baguette. “We’ve recreated Le Lafayette with the same colors, design and cuisine,” Maillard says. “When the renovations are complete, our goal is to move back downtown and keep both locations operating.” The restaurant is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner.

The Loire Valley is considered the epicenter of the natural wine movement, with Coulée de Serrant (upper right) leading the charge.

Nothing but Wine The natural wine concept represents a return to preindustrial practices

N

BY MARK SPIVAK

atural wine is the latest hot commodity in thoughtful wine circles. It might even be fair to call it a movement. On the surface, the concept is appealing: Who wouldn’t prefer a natural product to a manipulated one?

But what exactly is natural wine? There’s no formal definition, although it’s generally understood to be wine that is grown at least organically (and possibly biodynamically) and that isn’t subjected to any additions or subtractions during the winemaking process. Thus, natural wine is a cellar practice rather than a vineyard practice.

For the consumer, the problem is the lack of agreed-upon standards or a certifying body. You only know a wine is “natural” if someone tells you it is, since the designation normally won’t appear on the label. Yet a growing circle of wine writers, retailers, and alternative distributors are promoting natural wine, and the concept is attracting more attention.

One reason for its appeal might be due to widespread farming practices in mass-market wine, which can result in you consuming pesticides and herbicides along with your Chardonnay. Things get worse in the cellar. The wine may be saturated with sulfur to prevent spoilage; acidity may be artificially increased or decreased; alcohol may be reduced by reverse osmosis, or enhanced by putting

the wine through a centrifuge; or the color may be amplified by the addition of agents such as Mega Purple.

Against that background, natural wine seems very alluring, although the category also has dangers. Wines made with little or no sulfur can be darkly colored and have a funky, barnyard aroma. Such wines are frequently fizzy, and it’s not unusual to find clumps of yeast floating in them. They also tend to be unstable and age prematurely due to oxidation.

The Loire Valley, where many small producers are experimenting with preindustrial techniques, is ground zero for natural wine. Regionally, Nicolas Joly at Coulée de Serrant in Savennières is the category’s most famous name, and his $100 flagship from Chenin Blanc is considered one of the world’s great wines. Natural winemaking also adapts well to Burgundy and the Rhône Valley, where many estates are small enough to be worked intensively by hand. Key players in France include Eric Texier (Rhône), Andrea Calek (Ardèche), and Cedric Bouchard and Jerome Prevost (Champagne).

The trend in natural wine has also spread to America. Tracey and Jared Brandt worked a harvest with Eric Texier, then came home to open Donkey and Goat in downtown Berkeley; they make Rhône-style red blends

Bloomer Creek Vineyard produces natural wines in upstate New York.

and, less frequently, Chardonnay. Other practitioners include Dirty and Rowdy in Mendocino and Lake County’s Hawk and Horse, founded

by David Boies in 1982 and currently operated by Mitch and Tracey Hawkins. At Bloomer Creek Vineyard in New York’s Finger Lakes region, Kim Engle and Debra Bermingham are making Riesling and Gewürztraminer in homage to the great wines of Germany and Alsace.

While these producers don’t use exactly the same techniques, what they have in common is a return to an earlier style of winemaking that stresses nature over technology. Critics of natural wine may find their approach naive in the twenty-first century, but they would do well to remember The Great Gatsby. When Nick Carraway tells Jay Gatsby he can’t repeat the past, his friend looks at him in wide-eyed amazement. “Can’t repeat the past?” he cries. “Why, of course you can.” «

GLENN MIDNET DESIGN WEST In Mercato

Q: WHAT IS YOUR DESIGN INSPIRATION? A: For me, design is inspired by three factors. One is the fashion industry; textiles, color, and fashion trends cause interior design trends, which is why we’re proud to partner with Ralph Lauren Home at our Mercato design center. The second is nature, where I find harmony, symmetry, color, balance, scale, and proportion. Finally, I have a passion for travel. The more you are exposed to different cultures and countries, the deeper your creative well is.

Q: WHAT ARE THE LATEST TRENDS IN YOUR INDUSTRY? A: Design has been moving toward the integration of natural, organic elements. Contemporary, clean lines mixed with earthy, natural accents are trending. Tonal “washed’ finishes give a soft feel that mixes well with rich, darker colors. Backgrounds are becoming lighter

and more neutral, using layers of texture. Bigger outdoor kitchens, patios, and outdoor luxury items will continue to be the rage. The integration of technology with a refined design aesthetic is also in demand.

Q: WHAT IS YOUR AREA OF SPECIALIZATION? A: We specialize in high-end residential interior design, floor planning, furniture, custom cabinetry, accessories and installation. From conceptualizing through building, we provide turnkey design and project management.

Our designers have varying styles and ideas, and collaborating helps us achieve award-winning results. We create a blend of casual luxury and timeless elegance, as seen in our contributions to the 2015 Golf Magazine National Dream Home.

ALISON CRAIG HOME FURNISHINGS, NAPLES Q: WHAT IS YOUR DESIGN INSPIRATION? A: A successful interior is not determined by the cost of its components. We are all about achieving a high-end look at a great price. Mix up your rooms with “high and low” pieces. It’s a good practice because it keeps the total cost of your room lower. It also ensures you have an interesting mix of pieces rather then looking like it was lifted out of the pages of a specific brand’s catalog.

Q: WHAT ARE THE LATEST TRENDS IN YOUR INDUSTRY? A: Be Bold! The color‐blocking trend that’s all over fashion runways will continue to be a statement maker in home fashion with bold patterns and vibrant color not only in fabrics, but in leathers as well. In 2018, look for this extreme contrast in color trends to join together in harmony. Rooms made up of sensible basics won’t immediately be immersed into saturated color. Instead, look for colorful chairs to make their way into the spotlight

n

Naples, FL 34108

n

as the focal point of a room. Chairs allow people to engage their desire for bold color while staying true to the basics.

Adding chairs upholstered in colorful fabrics, leathers, or painted finishes not only gives a room an overall cheery mood, it also conveys an uplifting feeling of individuality and provides interior transformation without fear.

Q: WHAT IS YOUR AREA OF SPECIALIZATION? A: The design consultants at Alison Craig stand ready to help you visualize new room ideas for your home.

They are able to work with you to offer new decorating inspiration and insights. With some of the best-known brands in the industry, such as Theodore & Alexander, Stanley, Henredon Leather, and more at their fingertips, you’ll be on your way to creating the room of your dreams.

Whether it’s a special order or a quick delivery from our deep inventory, you will appreciate our impeccable service and attention to detail. Let us help you make your home anything but ordinary.

JETT THOMPSON HOME Q: WHAT IS YOUR DESIGN INSPIRATION? A: Travel — exploring new places and cultures, finding pieces that tell a story and repurposing them. Last year, my trip Marrakesh was a feast for the senses. I brought back rugs, textiles, pottery, scented soaps, and so much more. Next fall I’ll return to Africa, where I have always found a treasure trove of inspirational pieces, each one with a unique story to tell.

Q: WHAT ARE THE LATEST TRENDS IN YOUR INDUSTRY? A: After a decade of layered neutrals, pattern play, and splashes of color, we’re seeing a comeback in gilt and brass, acrylics, cleaner lines, and modern silhouettes. Our

design concepts are less “decorated” and more individual, specifically curated for each client. So as trends come and go, unless it is relevant to our project, we don’t pay much attention to them.

Q: WHAT IS YOUR AREA OF SPECIALIZATION? A: Residential interiors. We are a lifestyle boutique and design firm that showcases our love of the unique and organic mixed with clean, classic pieces. Having a store allows our clients to come and browse, share their likes and dislikes and experience a variety of styles. This is the foundation of our design philosophy: carefully curated design tailored to the individual personality, wants, and needs of each client.

JINX MCDONALD INTERIOR DESIGNS, INC. Q: WHAT IS YOUR DESIGN INSPIRATION? A: For this project, we took our inspiration from the sand and sea. We wanted the condo to radiate the energy of the ocean and to celebrate an active lifestyle. The vivid blues of the sea inspired our color palette.

Q: WHAT IS YOUR AREA OF SPECIALIZATION? A: Creating stunning homes that are as inviting and comfortable as they are beautiful.

Q: WHAT ARE THE LATEST TRENDS IN YOUR INDUSTRY? A: One of the latest industry trends we incorporated in this project is the use of a neutral background and splashes of colorful accents. Energetic, bright blues combined with polished stainless steel and glass create a current, coastal chic aesthetic that is very sophisticated. .

During the month of love, put your best foot forward with a night of ballroom dancing, a romantic activity that also helps boost confidence and improve balance. Whether you prefer the quick movements of Latin dances like salsa and merengue, the elegant flow of the waltz, or the passionate steps of the tango, there is something to appeal to every couple. Absolute Ballroom Company (absoluteball​roomcompany. com) features a free private lesson, group class, and practice party for newcomers, while Fred Astaire Dance Studios (fredastaire.com/naples) offers an introductory special for new students, including private lessons for couples. At Studio One (studioone​naples. com), you can even attend ballroom and Latin parties where you and your partner can spend two hours reconnecting on the dance floor. —Anna Bjorlin

SOCIAL SCENE

Show your support for healthier hearts at the American Heart Association’s Southwest Florida Heart Ball, scheduled for Saturday, March 10, at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa in Bonita Springs. Funds raised from the event support the association’s research, education, and prevention of heart disease and stroke. (heart.org)

(App for thAT!)

If hypertension or strokes tend to run in your family, download the free Heart Habit app, which can help predict and lower your risks. Just enter your gender, age, estimated stress levels over the past few days, and blood pressure, and the app will provide you with a step-by-step program to help you build healthy heart habits for life. You can add your daily levels of sodium consumption, exercise, and medications you take as well. For those with high blood pressure, the app offers help through a four-week digital Stroke Prevention Program. Developed by a team of physicians, pharmacists, and dieticians, the app is available for iOS devices and integrates with the Apple Watch and its health app. It is also compatible with the Fitbit to track your pulse, steps, and sleep, all of which can help manage your stress levels and maintain your cardiovascular health. (hearthabit.io)

TURN UP THE HEAT

Heart on Your Sleeve

In a joint study with Stanford Medicine, Apple recently launched a Heart Study app to help identify irregular heart rhythms in its Apple Watch users. Developed as a screening tool for heart arrhythmias, the app uses the watch’s built-in heart rate sensor to collect data and notify those who may be experiencing atrial fibrillation (AFib), the leading cause of stroke. Since AFib often goes undiagnosed due to a lack of symptoms, Stanford Medicine is hoping the app will help identify potential heart issues early on and reduce hospitalizations due to preventable illnesses as well. The app is available for customers 22 years or older who have an Apple Watch Series 1 or later. (apple.com/ watch/appleheart-study)

Apple's new Heart Study app is designed to detect heart arrhythmias in its Apple Watch users.

Puppy Love

The latest research shows adding a little more spice to your life can help your heart. A recent study published in the American Heart Association’s Hypertension journal showed spicy food like hot chili peppers may not only increase the body’s salt sensitivity, thus dampening the desire to reach for the salt shaker, but also help reduce inflammation and improve vascular health. The study included more than 600 adults who participated in a taste test of solutions with salt or capsaicin—the main spicy component in hot peppers. Researchers found those who ate the most amount of spicy foods had lower blood pressure readings and consumed roughly 2.5 grams less salt than those who ate the least amount of spicy foods. So, next time you’re in the kitchen, forgo the salt and try adding a bit of cayenne pepper to tantalize the taste buds.

New research shows pets really may be the best medicine after all. A recent study published in the journal of Scientific Reports found man’s best friend may help lower their owners’ risk of cardiovascular disease and death. The study examined more than 3.4 million people over the age of 12 and found owning a dog can decrease the risk of death by 33 percent and risk of cardiovascular-related death by 36 percent, among those who live alone. Chances of a heart attack were also found to be 11 percent lower as well. The lower risk appears to be due to the support and companionship four-legged friends provide, reducing owners’ stress levels. And if you need another reason to adopt a pup, there’s the extra benefit of physical activity when you head out for those daily walks.

INTERNATIONAL INVESTING How—and when—to diversify with international and emerging market stocks

By Judy Martel

T

he soaring U.S. stock market in 2017 was like catnip to investors who seemed unable to stay away. International investments were often bypassed in the buying frenzy—a shortsighted move, according to Mark Del Pezzo, a chartered financial analyst and instructor in Florida International University’s department of finance. “Overall, in the world market capitalization of stocks, 50 percent are international,” he says. “U.S.-focused investors are missing out on half of the world.”

HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? Diversification among asset classes is the best way to hedge against the possibility that any one asset class will plummet in value and bring

down the entire portfolio.

Although international assets play a role in every portfolio, personal circumstance and time horizon will determine the percentage of your holdings. The amount can range from a conservative 5 percent to a more aggressive 35 percent and up.

Retirees and those who depend on investment income should lean toward a smaller allocation, Del Pezzo advises, with perhaps 10 to 20 percent in international investments. “It’s conservative but still gives investors some exposure to international growth,” he says.

International stocks in many of the established European companies pay higher dividends than U.S. companies. It’s not uncommon for some to deliver 4 to 5 percent, versus the overall average dividend payment of 2 to 3 percent on the U.S. Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index. While 5 percent might still seem a tad low for investors seeking steady income, it is generally higher than a safe bond portfolio.

Young investors with a long time horizon can be aggressively invested in international and emerging market equities because they have the time to weather the market swings. Emerging markets are those countries with economies that are growing but are not as developed as the U.S. or Europe. Typically, they are volatile and react to current news headlines. “When they correct, they correct a lot,” Del Pezzo says, but when they are on an upswing, they usually grow faster than developed economies.

Even so, there are extra risks with international investments, warns Del

Pezzo. For that reason, he recommends actively managing funds for both international and emerging markets. “There are too many idiosyncratic anomalies in these markets, plus there is also currency risk,” he says.

Currency risk is the chance that the emerging or international currency will fall in relation to the U.S. dollar. The risk is especially important in unstable emerging market countries, but even the relatively stable euro has weakened against the dollar. Experienced managers know how to assess and hedge the risks; investors need to be alert and not Del Pezzo stresses that choose their investments based solely on high returns. diversification among Because of the volatility, retirees are advised to keep their asset classes is key to a allocation to emerging markets very small, says Del Pezzo. balanced and forwardthinking portfolio.

Part of Artis–Naples’ Broadway Series, the Tony Award-winning musical tells the story of the unconventional and often tempestuous relationship that develops between the King of Siam and British schoolteacher Anna Leonowens, who the king brings to his palace as a governess to teach his many wives and children.

Set against an opulent backdrop of 1860s imperialistic Bangkok, the production features ornate sets and beautiful costumes, as well as a look at what happens when two very different worlds collide. (artisnaples.org) —Anna Bjorlin

1. Great escapes: I love London and Italy, especially Portofino— though Fashion Week in Paris and New York was the most fun.

2. Esteemed charities: Naples Botanical Garden, which is an amazing development of tropical-zone gardens for the community to enjoy, and Naples Children and Education Foundation, which has outdone itself in raising millions of dollars for Collier County children who live below the poverty line.

3. Recent coveted purchase: Driving my white Words to live by: Nothing Mercedes G-Wagen makes me feel hip and cool because it is exactly is important unless we make it important. the same white vehicle my daughter drives.

3 5. Guilty pleasure: Hiring interior designers Renée Gaddis and Jenn Younger.

6. Beauty must-haves: Glossy lipstick, enhanced eyelashes, and microbladed eyebrows.

9 9: Go-to scent: Anything vanilla.
