ART

TO WEAR Yvel’s Art to Wear collection serves as a bridge between the art and jewelry worlds, offering collectors and admirers the opportunity to wear a precious work of art This year marks 40 years of artistry, innovation, and social commitment for Yvel, an internationally renowned luxury jewelry brand celebrated for transforming nature’s treasures into wearable works of art.

Since its founding, Isaac Levy - the visionary designer and creative force behind the Yvel brand, always stands at the forefront of design innovation, where beauty, craftsmanship and imagination unite in timeless creations.

Renowned for its uncompromising craftsmanship, Yvel continues to redefine the boundaries of fine jewelry with its celebrated Art to Wear collection.

Each one-of-a-kind piece transforms rare organic pearls, natural gemstones and exotic metals, including patinated brass, gold and titanium into sculptural wearable masterpieces that challenge and redefine the boundaries of fine jewelry.

The 2026 Art to Wear Collection, designed exclusively for the Art Basel week in Miami embodies Yvel’s distinctive ability to merge luxury with innovation, technology with nature and elegance with expression.

At the heart of this evolution lies titanium, one of the most artistic and innovative materials. A groundbreaking element admired for its strength, lightness, and the way it radiates vibrant hues that shift with the light.

SO MUCH TO CELEBRATE X

EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK

COURTESY OF POTTERY WITH A PURPOSE

BOOK IT Regardless of faith and culture, we all have this in common: we read to our children. Local librarians and booksellers give us their recommendations for children’s holiday books starting on page 62.

On a recent date night with my husband, we went to a special occasion restaurant, just because. When the server asked us if we were celebrating something special, we said, “Just the day.” She must have appreciated the answer because she put a candle on our key lime pie, signaling to the rest of the restaurant that cheers were in order.

December heralds the festive season, but the truth is that all days, even the most challenging ones, hold at least one reason to celebrate—even if that reason is Tuesday. I was reminded of this when ordering a holiday pie through Pie it Forward, which allows Meals on Wheels to deliver love and sustenance to homebound or low-income seniors. Knowing a fellow human benefited from your small act? Big reason to celebrate. Having the ambition to do that again and again? Even bigger.

This month, we have so many reasons to celebrate. Just ask Avie and Jill Glazer, whose generosity facilitated the reincarnation of The Royal Poinciana Playhouse as Glazer Hall.

More than five years in the making, the new performing arts center is poised to bring a flurry of cultural activity ranging from edgy modern dance to comedy to a stylized circus.

Meet the Glazers and learn more about their vision for this jewel of a space in “Curtain Call,” starting on page 112.

While we’re on the subject of the arts, I’d like to call out our guide to art fair season. Flip to “Where the Art World Winters” on page 130 and let us lead you through a season’s worth of art shows in South Florida, listed in chronological order from Art Miami (happening this month at One Herald Plaza) to the Naples Downtown Art Fair, coming to Cambier Park in March. Here in Palm Beach, I’m personally excited for Art Palm Beach and The Palm Beach Show, where inspiration and discovery abound. Hope to see you there.

If you love fashion, I invite you to peruse “Sweet as Honey,” our cinematic take on Kennedy-era fashion and lifestyle. Conceived and produced by our fashion editor, Katherine Lande, and photographed by Olivia Graham, this story is all vintage vibes and classic glamour. For authenticity, it was photographed aboard the Honey Fitz, the legendary presidential yacht often seen cruising the Palm Beaches. Turn to page 118 and keep your phone handy; the story is very shoppable.

Enjoy the festivities of the season—and celebrate! You have myriad reasons to do so.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

FUNDAMENTAL

CAPEHART

If you have stopped on this page and started reading this note, we have something in common. The simple act of reading is something that most of us take for granted.

We struggle early on. Then we learn how to sound out the words and find consistency among the sentence structure, allowing the meaning to flow freely. I was a precocious reader, starting around age 4 or so. I vividly remember lying on my bedroom floor of our first home in Naugatuck, Connecticut, reading The Lion and the Deer by Annie DeCaprio. Published in 1965, it was the first book I could read by myself. I’ve never stopped reading—books, cereal boxes, newspapers, the occasional owner’s manual, comics, and of course, magazines. Thousands and thousands of magazines.

I discovered the newspaper while in elementary school. Our second Connecticut home was in a tiny town of 6,500. The daily paper was produced in the bustling metropolis one town over. A simple broadsheet, the Middletown Press was our daily connection to local, national, and international news. I read it front to back the moment it hit our porch at the end of the day. After I was done, my mother did the same. It was the rhythm of our home and that of nearly every house on the street. The times do change.

Later this month, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution will cease production of its daily print edition. I came across the news a few weeks back and, with an audible gasp, absorbed the impact of that decision on one of the largest media markets in the nation. Sure, newspapers have been struggling with readership over the last 10 years, but Atlanta? Metro Atlanta is home to more than 6 million people, and soon their connection to a daily newspaper will be no more. The loss will be immense and only fully understood once the presses go silent.

The importance of having a healthy daily paper in the Palm Beaches cannot be understated. Whether or not you’re a fan of The Palm Beach Post, we are fortunate to have local print journalism delivered seven days a week. I couldn’t start my day without it, and I look forward to seeing a copy at our door every morning.

On December 4, I will speak at the monthly gathering of the Palm Beach Round Table. Now in its ninety-fourth season, this Palm Beach institution arranges speakers and subject matter to further discussions regarding world affairs. My chosen topic will be “The Pleasure and Purpose of Reading in the Digital Landscape.” I look forward to sharing my thoughts and observations with this wonderful group. While it may appear self-serving for a magazine publisher to address concerns over the loss of print media options and opportunities, it is reading that remains one of the great pleasures of my life. And, if you are still reading this, now some 400 words in, it is likely one of yours as well.

Until the next one,

Terry Duffy tduffy@palmbeachmedia.com

SPOTLIGHT

At just 7 and 9 years old respectively, Boca Raton brothers Bodhi and Sky Schneider are making a name for themselves in the art world—including New York City’s highly competitive art scene.

The boys’ mother, Melissa Schneider, notes that Bodhi and Sky’s artistic ambitions started as “messy experiments” in their garage three years ago. Working in the medium of acrylic and resin, the emerging pour-painters have sold more than 80 original artworks, showcased at festivals, and hosted their first solo art exhibit at AGI Fine Art in the city this summer. “Bodhi+Sky: Stone and Space” took place over three days and evoked elements of the boys’ current interests: geodes, outer space, and pop culture.

No need to travel far to witness the artists in action: new Miami-inspired pieces will debut this month during Miami Art Week. (bodhi-sky.com) —Skye Sherman

Bodhi and Sky Schneider, pictured above with their parents, Andreas and Melissa Schneider, are known for creating pour paintings such as Golden Shell (top right) and Purple Nova Dragon (right).

She may be only 9 years old, but Lake Worth Beach’s Availa Johnson already knows that making a difference in the world at large starts small.

This summer, Johnson was one of 15 young activists (aged 8 to 16) from around the world to receive an International Young Eco-Hero Award from Action for Nature, a San Francisco–based nonprofit that encourages young people to get involved in solutions for environmental change.

Johnson received an honorable mention for her EcoCreators Design Club, a 30-member-strong space for young people like her to transform plastics and recyclables into creative fashion designs like dresses, keychains, and jewelry. She places collection boxes at local schools, libraries, and parks where single-use plastics can be deposited for reuse in projects and crafts. Born of her love for the ocean, the kid-led club is her way of spreading awareness about the plastic problem and ways to reduce and reuse. (actionfornature.org/eco-hero-awards/2025-winners) —S.S.

Spanish River Park’s beach in Boca Raton recently received the Blue Flag Beach Award.

If you’ve ever hit the beach in Boca Raton and marveled at just how pristine it is, you’re not the only one to have taken notice. The beach at Spanish River Park (from Tower 18 to the park’s southern boundary) recently earned the international Blue Flag Beach Award for the 2025-26 season, one of just three beaches in the United States to receive the distinction—and the first time a Boca Raton beach has been honored in this way.

Administered by the Foundation for Environmental Education and managed in the United States by the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association, the award recognizes beach destinations that check more than 30 boxes pertaining to environmental education, water quality, environmental management, and safety. It’s a testament to Boca Raton’s commitment to coastal management, sustainability, and environmental education, including free programs offered through Gumbo Limbo Nature Center and the area’s mature dune ecosystem.

It may be the oldest Conservative synagogue in Palm Beach County, but West Palm Beach’s Temple Beth El is keeping the lineup decidedly of-the-times for its yearlong “Century of Light” Centennial Celebration. The hundredth-anniversary happenings—to include concerts, film screenings, community events, dedications, and more—will kick off during Hanukkah with a performance by world-renowned Jewish reggae artist Matisyahu, slated for December 18. Another major highlight of the year is the commissioning of Temple Beth El’s first Haftarot Scroll (a sacred document containing all the prophetic passages traditionally read on Shabbat and holidays), which promises unique opportunities for community participation— and a positive foundation for the next 100 years.

LEADING MEN WE HONOR WORLD AIDS AWARENESS MONTH WITH AMFAR GALA CO-CHAIRS T. RYAN GREENAWALT AND KEVIN MCCLATCHY, WHO PROMISE TO DELIVER ANOTHER POWERHOUSE EVENT IN 2026

Since its launch in 2022, Palm Beach’s amfAR gala has become a top fundraiser for the American Foundation for AIDS Research, generating nearly $16 million for the nonprofit, which is dedicated to advancing AIDS research, HIV prevention, treatment, education, and advocacy. “The support from the Palm Beach community has been extraordinary, united by the common goal of curing HIV while addressing other infectious disease threats,” says T. Ryan Greenawalt, who co-chairs the annual event with Kevin McClatchy. “When the world reopened after the pandemic, bringing amfAR to Palm Beach was a top priority—and we hit the ground running with a spectacular first event that raised $5 million.” PBI sat down with Greenawalt and McClatchy to learn more. (amfar.org)

X PBI: What inspired you to organize the Palm Beach gala?

McClatchy: Ryan and I have been serving on the amfAR board for many years. When we each relocated to Palm Beach at around the same time, we knew this community would be the perfect place to launch an annual gala in support of amfAR’s mission to find a cure, primarily because the core value of this community is philanthropy.

Greenawalt: I’d like to add that 40 million people with HIV and AIDS are alive today leading healthy, productive lives mostly because of the research that we’ve invested in over the last 40 years, which is remarkable. Moreover, HIV research benefits everyone, including advances in cancer treatment, vaccine technology, and therapies for autoimmune disorders—all of which came out of HIV research.

Why has this event been so successful?

McClatchy: We’ve had four years of amazing 54

and generous hosts who’ve opened their homes to us: Amy and John Phelan, Michele and Howard Kessler, Lisa and James Cohen, Ken Griffin.

Their commitment is impressive. Plus, amfAR has a history of throwing spectacular events all over the globe, with a management team that does work that just amazes us. They are the best in the business.

Greenawalt: This community has been all-in with our mission, recognizing that global health and investments in biomedical research are changing countless lives.

Is a portion of proceeds allocated to local organizations?

Greenawalt: Absolutely. Since 1986 amfAR has awarded more than 90 HIV and AIDS grants in Florida totaling $6 million—including the Compass Community Center [in Lake Worth Beach], which has served South Florida’s LGBTQ+ community for 35 years.

What is the biggest misconception people still have about HIV/AIDS? Greenawalt: That the fight is over, when in fact there are still millions of people living with this disease who can’t afford the medicines that are out there.

McClatchy: Every minute one person dies of AIDS-related causes, and every two minutes two people are diagnosed with HIV. It’s not going away. In fact, Fort Lauderdale and Miami have the highest rate of AIDS in any city in the country. We’re making progress, but until we get that cure, we’re not stopping.

What gives you hope about the fight against HIV/AIDS? McClatchy: Our hope lies in science. From our conversations with researchers, it’s clear that we’re getting closer to a cure, which is why we’re pushing harder than ever. There’s finally light at the end of the tunnel.

PROBLEM SOLVED

JENNIFER QUENT BRINGS CALM TO THE WHIRLWIND LIVES OF THE WELL-TO-DO

When Jennifer Quent danced with one of the world’s great ballet companies, she pushed through pain, hunger, and exhaustion for the opportunity to glide across stages like a beautiful dream. Today, she credits her four years with the American Ballet Theatre for her success as an “executive fixer” for wellto-do families in Palm Beach County, where she does the seemingly impossible with balletic grace.

Quent coordinates a 27-person concierge team for Miami-based accounting firm Kaufman Rossin, providing rapid-response lifestyle management to families with hectic schedules. On any given day (or night), the Wellington resident may be managing household staff on three continents, securing a last-minute superyacht, or untangling a sticky real estate transaction. When an

«

ROSALIE O’CONNOR

80-something widow needed help writing her first check, Quent showed her how.

“My superpower is I really love helping people,” she says.

“You need a service heart to succeed in this business.

Everything has the potential to go sideways. It’s how we handle the sideways, with grace, that sets us apart.”

People come for solutions, but what they find in Quent is something rarer: calm in the chaos and a leader who thinks five steps ahead and acts decisively. “I take pride in really, really doing things well,” she says.

“Whether it’s a ballet, a spreadsheet, or hiring a chef, it’s got to be excellent.”

At this level, people want more than help, she says. “They want to feel understood. That’s what we deliver—structure, safety, and the sense that someone is truly in their corner.”

Quent recalls one client who was selling a secluded cabin in New Hampshire, but he couldn’t fathom how to move his father’s “more than 500 pistols, rifles, and shotguns to his home in Connecticut.” Asking his estate manager to cross state lines with an arsenal wouldn’t do, so Quent arranged for the local sheriff to transport the weapons for him. Problem solved.

Another time, when a panicked mom realized her college-bound son would have no safe meal

BY MATTHEW M. ROBB

options for his severe food allergies, Quent quickly assessed the options, then hired a personal chef to prepare and deliver customized meals for the semester. “It wasn’t the perfect solution,” she says, “but we got it done just in time.”

In previous roles, Quent—a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City—sharpened her leadership abilities and strategic problem-solving as the executive personal assistant to the CEO of a global elearning company and as a chief of staff at Guggenheim Partners. Since trading her pointe shoes for a Beretta doublebarreled shotgun, Quent releases stress by shooting clay pigeons. “My mind stops spinning when I’m tracking a target,” she explains. Earlier this year, she took a week away from the ringing phones to gallop on horses, fire pistols with cowboys, and enjoy a carefree adventure in Zion National Park.

“Ultimately, my job entails solving everyday problems that are anything but everyday,” the mother of two says.

“I love figuring things out, staying organized, and making sure nothing gets missed.” «

Jennifer Quent finds parallels between her earlier roles, including as a dancer with the American Ballet Theatre (left), and her current role as an “executive fixer.”

Like china and porcelain, crystal stemware and glassware are often exchangeable in conversation. Crystal is a type of glass that contains lead oxide or similar minerals, giving it more brilliance, clarity, and the ability to be cut or etched with fine detail. Regular glassware is simpler, less refractive, and generally more durable for everyday use. Like your dinner service, having unique sets can be a challenge simply because if you break one piece it can be very hard to replace. Patterns by the likes of Waterford, Baccarat, and

The holidays are about tradition, warmth, and celebrating with those we love. They also present a rare opportunity to dust off your best china and crystal, iron some linens, and polish the silver. Whether you are reaching for family heirlooms or shopping for new memories, it can’t hurt to know how to handle these special pieces that only come out a few times a year.

Buying and caring for porcelain dinner services doesn’t have to be daunting. Before you start, know that the terms “china” and “porcelain” are mostly interchangeable. Both are a ceramic made from refined clay fired at high heat. The term “bone china” is used to describe a stronger, more translucent type created by adding bone ash; as a result, bone china looks much more vibrant and is a brighter white.

If you think you will add to your dinner service in the future, try to find one that is easily sourced. Patterns like Royal Crown Derby, Imari, or Herend Rothschild Bird are not only timeless but readily available on the secondary market. Be careful to avoid

Steuben can often be found to replace lost or damaged pieces.

Breaking out the family silver, with all the glorious and sometimes mysterious serving pieces, can add the finishing touches to a special tablescape. Currently, the commodity value of silver is near record highs, so while you might be tempted to cash in, just know that once you sell a set, you’ll never be able to replace it or the memories these pieces hold.

Avoid the dishwasher when possible—it is simply too harsh for granny’s silver.

Thoughtful table settings should not be overwhelming. By sourcing versatile pieces, mixing patterns, and balancing old with new, you can create a holiday table that is both beautiful and functional. Investing in quality china, silver, and glassware means your collection will last for seasons to come. «

BY MARY MURRAY

GOODNIGHT BUBBALA

It represents the warmth of family, making bedtime special for little ones while celebrating Jewish culture.

Plus, it includes an exclusive latke recipe by Ina Garten.” —Elana Ostroff, director, PJ Library, Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County

THE SEVEN DAYS OF KWANZAA

By Melrose Cooper, illustrated by Jeremy Tugeau “This book captures the audience’s attention by pairing its words with the melody of ‘The 12 Days of Christmas,’ a song familiar to many adults and some children. By adding elements of rhythm and the beats of drumming to the words, it creates an opportunity for deeper learning and a stronger connection to one’s roots.” —Fabiola Bernier, museum educator, Spady Cultural Heritage Museum, Delray Beach

World-Class Neurosurgery Right Here in Boca Raton.

When every second counts, Marcus Neuroscience Institute is here.

A fall. A sudden headache. A moment of confusion.

For many older adults, these are more than just passing symptoms — they can signal a serious brain bleed called a subdural hematoma.

At Marcus Neuroscience Institute at Boca Raton Regional Hospital, part of Baptist Health, patients have access to world-renowned neurosurgeons like Brian Snelling, M.D., director of cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery and director of the stroke program.

One of the most promising advances in his field is middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization, a minimally invasive procedure that significantly lowers the risk of subdural hematomas returning — often sparing patients from the need for multiple open surgeries. “This approach has been a game-changer for many of our patients, especially older adults on blood thinners,” says Dr. Snelling. “It allows us to treat the problem safely while helping patients recover faster.”

Dr. Snelling and his team are among the most experienced in the nation, with more than seven years of expertise and over 200 MMA embolizations performed. Thanks to a tiny incision in the wrist instead of traditional brain surgery, many patients are able to go home the very same day. This approach is especially safe for older adults and those with fragile health. For patients on blood thinners — whether for heart disease, atrial fibrillation or prior stroke — Dr. Snelling’s method allows medications to be restarted earlier, protecting them from other life-threatening conditions.

Our innovation extends beyond brain bleeds. For patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IH), a condition that can cause severe headaches and vision problems, Marcus Neuroscience Institute offers venous sinus stenting, restoring normal brain pressure and improving quality of life.

The Institute is also proud to be enrolled in multiple national stroke trials, giving patients in Boca Raton early access to promising investigational therapies that could define the future of stroke care.

But advanced medicine is only part of the story. At Marcus Neuroscience Institute, compassion is central to everything we do. “We know how frightening it is when a loved one is facing a brain emergency,” says Dr. Snelling. “I treat every patient as if he or she was a member of my own family — and I want families to feel informed, supported and reassured every step of the way.”

With 24/7 neuro-emergency response, stateof-the-art imaging and a team of experts who care for hundreds of patients each year, Marcus Neuroscience Institute delivers lifesaving care when every second counts — and the peace of mind families need most.

“By 2030, chronic subdural hematoma will be the most common cranial neurosurgical disease — and Marcus Neuroscience Institute is leading the way in treating it.”

Brian Snelling, M.D.

Director of Cerebrovascular and Endovascular Neurosurgery Director of Stroke Program Marcus Neuroscience Institute Dr. Brian Snelling is a fellowship-trained neurosurgeon specializing in subdural hematomas, aneurysms, strokes, AVMs and complex surgical diseases of the brain and spine. He is an expert in catheter-based procedures performed through the wrist, which enhance patient safety and speed recovery.

Before joining Marcus Neuroscience Institute in 2018, Dr. Snelling completed his neurosurgery residency and fellowship at Jackson Memorial Hospital and the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

Fluent in English and conversational in Spanish, Dr. Snelling has trained hundreds of surgeons worldwide, published extensively and presented at major neurosurgical conferences.

What inspired you to work with vintage Bakelite?

I launched my line in Manhattan in 1999 making contemporary fine jewelry—gold and platinum with diamonds and colored stones. Then 9/11 happened, the luxury market froze, and my buyer from Bergdorf Goodman asked me to create pieces that were “larger but less expensive.”

Gold and physics objected, so I went materials shopping. Wood, acrylic, ceramic—all interesting— but vintage Bakelite had beauty, history, and backbone. I started with diamond-punctuated bangles. As we mastered the material, we moved into marquetry, bigger stones, and full collections. Now I’m known for fine jewels that give vintage Bakelite a very glamorous second act, and we produce a full range of earrings, pendants, rings, and necklaces. Today, vintage Bakelite is still my favorite co-conspirator. I coax it to behave like fine jewelry—and it does.

Describe your design philosophy.

I still design every piece myself, and each one passes through my hands more than once on its way to the showcase. The aesthetic is consistent: contemporary lines meet vintage material, with respect paid to both. My language is graphic, architectural, almost never figurative, [and] built to feel current now and still look fresh years from now.

I design for women who already own all their “serious” jewels and want something that feels singular—witty, unusual, and genuinely joyful. We treat vintage Bakelite like a precious material: 18-karat settings, fine jewelry standards, and no shortcuts. If the harder method makes it cleaner or crisper, that’s the route we take. We push technique— marquetry, intricate stone setting, flawlessly finished—so the material rises to the occasion.

New work is constant. Many clients collect my pieces, so I create with continuity in mind: each design should stand alone and also stack, nest, or converse beautifully with what they already own.

REAL TALK WITH...

Mark Davis

The jewelry designer—famous for his Bakelite bangles and beyond—dishes on inspiration, philosophy, process, and must-have pieces

BY KATHERINE LANDE

Mark Davis creates wearable art with his line of hypercrafted Bakelite designs.

What’s the process behind creating your one-of-a-kind designs?

It starts like a rescue mission and ends like watchmaking. We salvage vintage Bakelite—from table lamps, jukebox panels, mah-jongg racks, dominoes, you name it. Because Bakelite doesn’t melt or reform, the raw piece dictates the initial silhouette. If a design needs more real estate, we laminate smaller pieces to build a larger blank.

From there, I decide the path: graphic marquetry or a cleaner field that’s punctuated with gemstones.

For marquetry, we cut precise pockets into the Bakelite, then cut and seat each inlay to a friction-fit. When a motif overlaps (think petals or geometry), we inlay, surface, repocket, inlay again, stacking the design in controlled layers until the picture is complete. Everything is then filed, sanded, and hand-polished to a glassy finish.

Next, we lay out the stones: drill or cut the seats and mount 18-karat bezels set with gems so the metal meets the Bakelite cleanly—no shortcuts, extremely tight tolerances. The whole process is timeconsuming and exacting, and it all happens in our workshop in the South Carolina Lowcountry.

Recommended piece for a newcomer to your jewelry?

The classic entry point is a bangle— actually, two. Stacking is where the magic happens: mix a quiet tone with a saturated one, then add a third later (odd numbers read chic and intentional). Over time, you’ll discover combinations you never expected; it’s like building a color vocabulary you wear on your wrist.

WANDERLUST

A ROYAL WELCOME THE ROYAL MANSOUR COLLECTION’S NEWEST PROPERTIES OFFER A WINDOW TO MOROCCAN HOSPITALITY, CRAFTSMANSHIP, AND CENTURIES-OLD TRADITION

BY DAPHNE NIKOLOPOULOS

On the twenty-third floor of the Royal Mansour Casablanca, floor-to-ceiling windows frame an iconic Moroccan scene: Painterly streaks of rose and saffron animate the sky behind the monumental Hassan II Mosque, accentuating its gravitas as one of the North African nation’s most emblematic structures. At its feet sprawls a sea of whitewashed buildings that give the city its name—and its mystique.

Casablanca—Casa to locals—has a romantic, almost mythical connotation, thanks to the eponymous film, and seeing it from this vantage point encourages that perception. Indeed, the city is notoriously hard to know, and navigating its historic medina, monuments, and multifaceted architectural gems takes some guidance from a Casablancan. That’s where the Royal Mansour shines.

One of five restaurants on site, La Grande Table Marocaine is an elevated traditional Moroccan dining experience.

Whether you want to dive into the old medina for traditional craft-shopping, experience Moroccan food the authentic way, or explore the city’s edgy street art, there’s an expert for that.

The hotel’s guides, hand-picked for their depth of knowledge and bright personalities, bring the city to life with access and storytelling. Experiences might include a behind-the-scenes tour of the Hassan II Mosque for an interpretive look at the innovative Islamic architecture, visits to the studios of creators whose work you won’t see at the markets, or flying lessons above the White City.

A brilliant reimagining of a 1950s Art Deco palace, the 149key Royal Mansour is a masterpiece of modern Moroccan design and a beacon of luxury in Casa. Every square inch gleams with exotic marbles, brass, crystal chandeliers, and inlaid woods, all crafted by elite artisans who worked on the project over eight years. Their labor of love is evident from the moment you enter the lobby and see an installation of 600 crystal fish suspended by thousands of fiberglass rods and illuminated by 149 fireflies—truly an awe-inspiring moment.

This modern palace exceeds expectations in every way. The rooms and suites are richly paneled in wood, so you never have to see a wall. Marble bathrooms have underfloor heating. Textiles are of the same luxury grade you’d find in the finest homes. The larger suites offer features like enormous footprints, a private sky garden, and a personal hammam. Not even the smallest detail has been overlooked.

The service is equally exceptional. Royal Mansour maintains an academy for the training of its staff, teaching the art of hospitality and unintrusive service, as well as international etiquette. In a world that moves quickly and much is abandoned in the pursuit of profit, it is a pleasure to be in a place that prizes the good manners and rituals that elevate the guest experience.

On the heels of the Casablanca opening, Royal Mansour unveiled another gem, in Tamuda Bay outside of Tangier.

Known as the Moroccan Riviera, Tamuda Bay is where the

royal summer palace is located—not far from the Royal Mansour, in fact. In contrast to Casa’s urban energy, Tamuda is all about quiet glamour and simple cubist architecture that reflects the colors of sea and sky. The focus here is on nature: the glittering waters, the majestic date palms, the blazing sunsets.

The Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay occupies a stretch of prime waterfront facing the Alboran Sea, the body of water between Morocco and Spain. Materials from this area—including 95,000 seashells, mother-of-pearl, and even upcycled plastic bottles removed from the sea—give the property a true sense of place.

The beauty of this resort is in the zen-like calm it inspires. Rooms and suites have views of the sea and gardens, and balconies from which to take it all in. Traditional Moroccan materials like Zellige tiles, marble, pottery, and inlaid wood are all present here, but in a more contemporary style and muted colorways. The resort’s most extravagant offering, the Royal Villa, is a showcase of Moroccan craftsmanship. With its intricate parquet floors, shell-encrusted walls, moucharabieh doors and windows, and inlaid ceilings, this space could easily be a seaside palace.

Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay’s restaurants include La Méditerranée (right), which serves Spanish specialties; Coccinella specializes in Italian fare but serves traditional breakfast items such as shakshuka (above).

From Tamuda Bay, there are excursions in every direction, but the two musts are Chefchaouen and Tétouan. Chefchaouen, also known as the Blue City, is like stepping into a pool lined with tiles in every shade of blue. Immersed in the hue of its medina, you’ll discover remarkable Andalusian architecture, complete with citrus-dotted courtyards and shaded alleyways leading deeper into the labyrinth of the old city. Don’t miss the caravanserai (an old inn for traveling merchants), the elaborate fountains scattered throughout, and the old kasbah (a fifteenth-century citadel).

Tétouan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of Morocco’s great cities dating to the third century BC. In more recent years, Tétouan was rebuilt by Andalusian Muslim and Jewish refugees, and today it is a bastion of Andalusian architecture.

Its medina is one of Morocco’s most traditional, with narrow passages and steps connecting public buildings like mosques and hammams. The modest storefronts are full of treasures, most notably leather goods, embroidered fabrics, musical instruments, and Hispano-Moorish art.

Both of the newest Royal Mansour properties are bastions of Moroccan authenticity, but they are best experienced together for an unforgettable immersion into an exotic destination that, layer by layer, becomes familiar. (royalmansour.com) «

ISLAND IDYLL DISCOVER AN ARTFUL BALANCE OF REMOTENESS AND REFINEMENT AT AMBERGRIS CAY

COURTESY OF AMBERGRIS CAY

BY PAUL RUBIO

Clockwise from top: Bungalows overlook Ambergris Cay’s ivory-sand shoreline; the floating Hangover Bar; brunch cocktails at the Club House; the Dream Estate includes both the Dream Pavilion (pictured) and the Dream Away Villas.

Far from Providenciales and its marquee resorts and neighboring sanctuaries, Ambergris Cay claims the southern edge of the Turks and Caicos archipelago, where seclusion feels both far-flung and carefully composed. With fewer than 50 villas and beachfront bungalows, the 1,100acre private island hideaway feels worlds away from the bustle of more familiar Caribbean shores. Iguanas skitter across rocky paths, seabirds wheel against a horizon of infinite blue, dolphins surface with acrobatic flair, and the remoteness reveals night skies of startling clarity. Long stretches of coastline invite solitary beach walks, and the sense of separation from the outside world is profound.

Originally a private homeownership community, Ambergris Cay opened to travelers in 2019. Today, guests choose from among 18 one- and two-bedroom bungalows set directly on ivory-sand shores or a collection 92

of sprawling hillside villas, as well as the newly unveiled Dream Estate (a 10-bedroom compound that doubles as a resort within a resort, with its own spa, gym, chefs, and butlers). Villas reflect their owners’ personalities, but all nod to contemporary tropical design. Bungalows adopt a breezy, beach house aesthetic—shiplap walls, wood-plank floors, earthy tones, and oversize glass windows framing endless sea views. Each features an infinity pool, outdoor shower, and open-plan living space, ensuring privacy and indulgence in equal measure.

On Ambergris Cay, time seems to ease into another register. Golf carts replace cars, and each guest is paired with an Island Host who can accommodate any request, from recharging carts to arranging lastminute sailing lessons. The island’s main gathering points are Calico, the signature restaurant and cocktail bar set above Monck Beach, and the Club House, a daytime hub

for watersports and leisurely lunches. At Calico, evenings carry a festive beat, from casual poolside cocktails to s’mores nights under the stars, when the smell of toasted marshmallows mingles with sea air. Meals, snacks, and house beverages (alcoholic and non) are included, so days naturally revolve around languid breakfasts, long lunches, and barefoot dinners.

For those inclined, the island offers a surprising roster of diversions. Trails wind past pirate-era ruins and seaside caves, e-bikes are at the ready, and complimentary classes in pickleball, tennis, and yoga keep guests moving. Perched at the island’s summit, the glass-wrapped fitness center provides jaw-

dropping panoramas alongside state-of-theart equipment, while its rooftop deck hosts sunrise and sunset yoga sessions.

On the water, opportunities abound: bonefishing lessons, guided Hobie Cat sailings, snorkeling excursions, and seasonal adventures like lobster diving between August and March or whale watching from December to April. A guest favorite is the floating Hangover Bar, anchored near neighboring Little Ambergris Cay. Accessible only by boat, it is equal parts watering hole and sandbar playground, where visitors sip rum punch (and more) before wading across shallows that seem to dissolve into underwater deserts. To walk across those translucent flats, surrounded by nothing but water and sky, is to become momentarily untethered from the rest of the world. (An abundance of cocktails surely helps!)

Yet the island equally rewards doing nothing at all. Many guests are content to bask by their private pools, wander empty beaches, or surrender to the calming flow of Elevate Spa. The beachfront pavilions are perched above the sand, delivering time94

tested treatments—deep tissue, hot stone, bamboo massage—without gimmick, only the soundtrack of waves. Come evening, sunsets at Calico are a ritual, followed by stargazing made brilliant by minimal light pollution. Bungalows and villas are stocked with binoculars and telescopes, a thoughtful touch for spotting whales by day and constellations by night.

Getting to this remote sanctuary is easier than it sounds. Ambergris Cay has one of

the Caribbean’s longest private runways, welcoming aircraft up to 28 meters in length for those arriving by private jet. For commercial arrivals, the resort provides complimentary roundtrip transfers from Providenciales or South Caicos, now linked to Miami by direct flights. That short hop doubles as a scenic introduction: an aerial sweep of the island’s turquoise isolation, setting the stage for the disconnection—and reconnection— that awaits.

What sets Ambergris Cay apart goes beyond chic bungalows, thoughtful amenities, and endless horizons. It is the way barefoot luxuries fold into daily life: walking through the sand for breakfast and dinner, afternoons shaped by the tide, the freedom to do as much or as little as you please, and nights guided by starlight instead of schedules.

Here, private island living is not redefined: it is realized. (ambergriscay.com) «

Rising from 18 acres of Sarasota’s shoreline, the new St. Regis Longboat Key Resort feels less like a regional debut and more like a global statement: an escape firmly rooted in Florida sand but with the scope and polish of the Caribbean and Mexico’s finest. With just 166 rooms and suites privy to a 20,000-square-foot spa, seven dining and drinking venues, three pools, a winding river, a 500,000-gallon saltwater lagoon, and 800 feet of private quartz beach, it’s a rare U.S. property that functions as a fully self-contained destination reserved for the lucky few.

From the moment the towering glass doors swing open, it’s evident you’re entering a remix of the iconic St. Regis brand, one tailored to modern tropical cravings. In the double-height foyer, floral art climbs the walls and ceiling before directing all eyes toward the blues of the Gulf Coast, visible through glass at the far end. To the right, The St. Regis Bar announces itself with a dramatic mural-chandelier hybrid by William Savarese suspended above its oval counter; it’s an homage to Caroline Astor, the celebrated Gilded Age society hostess, flower devotee, and mother of St. Regis founder John Jacob Astor IV. Other thoughtful details abound: acrobat-inspired light fixtures recall Sarasota’s circus heritage, a player piano cycles through modern hits, and fireplaces cast a soft glow. The arrival feels both theatrical and warmly inviting.

Guest rooms continue the balance. Wide hallways lead to 140 rooms and 26 suites that lean city-sophisticated yet remain beachappropriate. Interiors pair grays, taupes, and marble with floor-toceiling glass doors and balconies that reflect the pools, sea, and bay views beyond. (Book an ocean-view suite for maximum experience.) In all accommodations, oversize marble bathrooms feature freestanding soaking tubs.

Outside, Longboat’s sugar-fine quartz shoreline beckons, as does a sprawling aquatic wonderland. Families cluster at the zero-entry resort pool, while couples retreat to the adults-only Serenity Pool shaded by Vilebrequin parasols and backed by a waterfall.

A lazy river winds under bridges to private cabanas perched on islets and ends at a grotto with a spacious hot tub. A full-service beach club fulfills fantasies of sipping bubbles and eating ceviche with toes in the sand. Everywhere, small luxuries—SPF and aloe stations, drink coolers between loungers, and seat-side call buttons for butler or waiter service—underscore how thoroughly the resort anticipates the needs of its guests.

Near the pools, a saltwater lagoon with 3,000 fish and more than 50 stingrays adds life to the water world, as do resident Aldabra tortoises Jack and Rose, who emerge daily at 11 a.m. for lettuce and photo ops. This encounter is just one of many daily activities for guests, with dedicated lineups for children and adults alike. Think: sandcastle building and beach-bag decorating for the former, yoga and stretch classes for the latter, and snorkeling and marine biology talks to bring both together.

If the pool complex dazzles, the spa enthralls.

Conceived as a temple of water, The St. Regis Spa boasts a Finnish sauna, a eucalyptus steam room, a snow shower, vitality pools, sensorial showers, and a cold plunge; outdoors, an oceanfront vitality pool houses hydrotherapy pods with jets and overhead water massages. Even arrival here sets the spa apart: guests are greeted at a Champagne Celebration Bar with complimentary pours or wellness shots before drifting into the hydrothermal circuit.

It’s a vortex that’s hard to leave, even with the beach and pools calling.

Dining carries a theme of individuality. Latininspired Aura spills out from its restaurant to poolside loungers, while Riva channels coastal Italy with an interactive pasta bar and terrace. Breakfast is equally memorable—I’m still thinking about the cappuccino bun with coffee glaze, one of the best pastries I’ve had in years. CW Prime, the signature steak house, delivers surf and turf excellence, commencing dinner with pillowy, herb-infused milk bread before presenting Josper-grilled cuts served with a choice of knives.

looks the Gulf with colorful cocktails and crudos as captivating as the sunset.

At the heart of it all, The St. Regis Bar anchors the resort’s rituals, including afternoon tea, nightly Champagne sabering, and the Ca’ d’Zan Bloody Mary, served in Murano glassware evocative of Sarasota’s Venetian-style Ringling mansion. Back on the sand, the Monkey Bar nods to the legendary watering hole of the former Colony Hotel (which once occupied The St. Regis’ enviable swathe), though this version swaps live monkeys for tiki cocktails and sea views.

At every turn, it becomes evident that The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort is more than a beautiful new beachfront retreat; it’s a recalibration of what luxury on U.S. soil can be. Where else in America can you float in designer inner tubes by day, stroll barefoot on quartz sands in the afternoon, move through a 12-step hydrothermal circuit, witness Champagne sabering at dusk, and dine across seven standout venues—all without leaving the property? Having seen the St. Regis name interpreted across the globe, I can say this: Longboat Key is the brand at its most confident and compelling. It may just have you rethinking your next international flight in favor of an ultra-luxury resort experience closer to home. (marriott.com) «

FORCE OF GRAVITY

LUCID RAISES THE EV BAR WITH ITS THREE-ROW GRAVITY SUV

COURTESY OF LUCID MOTORS

BY HOWARD WALKER

I

n the boxing ring blue corner, we have that supermodel of electric sedans, the sublime Lucid Air, quite possibly the most beautiful fourdoor to roll on four wheels. And an impressive EV too, with a battery range of up to 520 miles and a range-topping Sapphire model with 1,234 horsepower and the ability to slingshot from zero to 60 in 1.89 seconds.

But over in the red corner is arguably the Air’s fiercest and most formidable rival—an equally beautiful EV with a still-impressive 450mile range but the bonus of three rows of seats, room for up to seven grown-ups, and the load-carrying space of a U-Haul. May I present the 2026 Lucid Gravity SUV. Our love affair with load-lugging, extra-large SUVs means it doesn’t take rocket science to predict that this new Gravity will quickly become Lucid’s top seller. And deservedly so. It blends swooning style with real practicality and bestof-the-best battery technology.

Competitive pricing too: $79,900 for the entry Touring and $94,900 for the Grand Touring.

While it is not as stylistically showstopping as the Air, it’s still a head-spinner, with that high waist, swoopy roofline, and swept-back windshield. It’s not really an SUV in

the traditional, boxy, Caddy Escalade sense. It’s more of a minivan or a crossover, like the old Mercedes R-Class.

It certainly feels minivan-esque when you pop open that high-lifting tailgate. The third-row seats fold directly into the floor, kind of like Chrysler’s trademark Stow and Go seats. Now fold the second-row pews and you’ll have a load space as flat as the Everglades. With the seats tucked away, the Gravity offers a cavernous 114 cubic feet of cargo space. And the load height is sedan-like, so there will be no hernias loading that big box from Best Buy. Want more? There’s an 8.1-cubicfoot “frunk” up front.

With the Gravity’s adjustable air suspension, a tap of a button lowers the car by 4.2 inches to make loading even easier. Conversely, raising it up not only gives 9.6 inches of ground clearance—perfect for negotiating neighborhood flash floods—but it makes it easier on the knees and back to get in and out.

There are some sweet interior improvements compared with the Air. The most notable is the curved, 34-inch, 6K OLED touchscreen that sprawls across the dash, with a 12.6-inch, tablet-like OLED display below it. Together they can deliver

GREEK ODYSSEY

ATHENS-BASED YACHT BUILDER OMIKRON’S NEW OT-60 IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CROSS A SAILBOAT WITH A LUXURY TRAWLER

COURTESY OF OMIKRON YACHTS

BY HOWARD WALKER

Q

uoting the great John Cleese from the 1970s British TV series Monty Python’s Flying Circus: “And now for something completely different.”

Behold the OT-60 from Greek sailboat builder Omikron, a super-sleek 60-footer that has everyone wondering whether it’s a fast cruiser, a modern Euro trawler, a big dayboat, or simply a sailboat that’s lost its mast.

Pick any one and you might be right. What it is, without a doubt, is one of the most intriguing and innovative motor yachts to hit the market in decades. Here is a Swiss Army knife of a family cruiser, designed to go places in supreme comfort, not too fast, not too slow, but using thimbles of fuel in the process. A long weekend in the Keys? A month in the Bahamas? A year on the Great American Loop? No problem in the OT-60.

Athens-based Omikron has built sailboats since the late ’60s, and it shows in the OT-60’s razor-sharp upright bow, salty bowsprit, and a hull that gets wider the farther back you go. At the stern it measures 20 feet across, adding significantly

to stability and making for a cockpit roomy enough to hold a disco.

It’s not designed to be super speedy. Powered by a pair of 250-hp 4-cylinder Yanmar diesels, its top speed is 16 knots. Its most efficient cruising speed, however, is around 11 knots—when it’s burning less than a third of a gallon per mile. A Jon boat with an outboard probably uses more. Throttle back to 8 knots and you’re looking at a range of 1,000 nautical miles from the 317-gallon tank.

Adding to its considerable appeal to Floridian cruisers, the boat draws an incredibly skinny 2-foot-10-inch draft, making it perfect for hanging out in the Exumas, cruising the Intracoastal, or simply nudging up to that island sandbar.

The OT’s lightweight carbon-fiber superstructure is another mic-drop moment.

Towering glass on all four sides makes for a fabulously bright—maybe too bright—saloon. Though for the captain at the helm, it means true 360-degree visibility. For the cabin rooftop, choose between a not-toosafe-looking platform for sun pads or a mass of solar panels to help keep the yacht quietly self-sufficient on the hook.

The rear cockpit is nothing less than an outdoor paradise. That 20foot beam means space for matching L-shaped sofas, each with a hi-lo table. Complementing the central glass doors into the saloon are huge windows that cantilever up for an indoor-outdoor feel. For shade, the roof extends back and can be supplemented with a clip-on Bimini.

One clever piece of design is the teak-covered passerelle that stows across the cockpit, extending the area. At the push of a button, it swings out to double as a tender crane, diving platform, or mooring catwalk.

The saloon is bright and spacious, with its fishbowl of windows, 7 feet of headroom, and light oak wood. On the starboard side is the helm, with its two circle-backed seats and simple navigation station.

It’s a pity there isn’t a door that opens onto the side deck—just a sliding window—and the black metal steering wheel is just too ugly for words.

Steps lead down into the lower galley and dinette area. Normally, I hate down galleys, but this is open to the saloon and boasts 10, maybe 12 feet of headroom. It feels like an atrium.

All the sleeping cabins are down here and are more evocative of a sailboat than a luxury cruiser. The light-flooded primary is up in the bow, with a large walk-in shower room on one side, a toilet and sink on the other. Wardrobe space? Needs more. There’s also a twin cabin with its own en-suite, plus a double guest cabin to port with its own spacious bathroom.

Glazer Hall will feature a 400-seat flexible theater space (above). Its entrance will boast four sculptures that once sat atop The Royal Poinciana Playhouse (right).

Bryan Graybill led the interior design for the venue, and Spina O’Rourke + Partners was responsible for the architecture.

hortly after Jill and Avram “Avie” Glazer moved to Palm Beach with their two daughters in 2002, The Royal Poinciana Playhouse closed, so the culturally minded couple never got to experience what so many other locals had—a night of great performances, right there on the island.

“People would tell us stories about how they used to go with their parents and grandparents, but we didn’t have that,” says Jill, a director for the Palm Beach Civic Association and emeritus trustee at Tulane University, her alma mater.

The Glazers knew that the 860-seat playhouse, designed by the architect John Volk, was once a glittering hot spot in the 1960s and 1970s, known for the Broadway musicals, ballets, and concerts it hosted, as well as the dinner and dancing that took place

SPINA O’ROURKE

BRYAN GRAYBILL

Jill and Avie Glazer thought it was time to do something about the longvacant Royal Poinciana Playhouse. After more than five years of effort, Glazer Hall is poised to debut as the island’s newest social and cultural hub.

in its Celebrity Room. It attracted big-name performers like Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, and ticketholders like the Kennedys and Duke of Windsor. When the curtain closed on the venue in 2004, there were plenty of ideas for what to do with the space, but, as Avie says, not much action.

The building sat unused until just before the COVID-19 pandemic, when Avie came home one day and had a heart-to-heart talk about it with Jill.

“I said to my wife, ‘You know, someone’s got to do something,’” recalls Avie, who co-owns the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is co-chairman of the English Premier League club Manchester United F.C. “‘No one is doing anything, so it might as well be us.’ And fortunately, we were in a position where we could make something happen.”

The Glazers are putting forth more than $15 million of their own money to breathe new life into this once-iconic landmark and create the first new cultural nonprofit on the island in 60 years. After more than five years of anticipation, that venue—now known as Glazer Hall—will open in phases, with the theater expected to be ready by mid-January.

“What we did first is what we’ve done all our lives, in that we turned to experts,” Avie says. “We hired the best theater consultants, the best acoustic consultants, the best design consultants to help us understand what we needed this space to be in today’s world. A cultural arts center in 2025

is different from a playhouse in 1955.

The demands are different. What people do there is different. What people expect is different. The technology is improved. We wanted to make this state-of-the-art and give everyone a first-rate viewing experience. I think we’ve been successful with that. When this opens, people are going to be thrilled with what they see.”

One of the first things patrons will see is the landmarked building’s restored Regency Revival facade. When they step inside, the next thing they’ll see is the water. In the old venue, only the celebrities could see the Intracoastal from their dressing rooms.

Now almost every room has water views, including the lobby and the theater, which boasts a 50-foot-wideby-15-foot-high window. Patrons can grab a cocktail at the full-service bar before a show or set foot on the 2,500-square-foot outdoor terrace. As nods to the past, the box office and staircase are in their original spots, and the statues that once reigned atop The Royal Poinciana Playhouse have returned to crown Glazer Hall.

“There were rumors that we weren’t keeping anything the same, but that was never, ever the case,” Jill says. “To us, those spaces were important to retain so we could have that look.”

In the 6,400-square-foot main hall, there’s a 400-seat theater with retractable seats, world-class sound and lighting, and a sound-wall partition that can divide the space. All these factors add up to create a flexible venue that can host different types of performances and social gatherings, from 114

film screenings to lectures and musical acts. “You can see a film and the screen can go up and the artists, producer, and director can be there afterward for a talk,” Jill adds.

Renovating and rebuilding is one thing. Finding someone who can embrace and act on your vision of a best-in-class cultural and community hub is another. In June, the Glazers announced Allison Stockel—who spent more than 20 years running the Ridgefield Playhouse in Connecticut—as Glazer Hall’s executive director.

“She’s got great resources and people know her,” Jill says. “When we were meeting with some of the different dance groups we have interest in coming out and I mentioned she was joining us, [everyone] said ‘Oh, I know her.’”

In 1961, Stockel’s aunt and uncle, Sandra and Allan Jaffe, opened Preservation Hall in New Orleans, establishing it as the place to hear New Orleans jazz 365 days a year. Instead of going to summer camp, Stockel toured with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band; she recalls selling CDs and other merchandise from the stage. These childhood memories stayed with her as she worked for CNN, MTV, Time Warner, and ABC, then got married, moved to Connecticut, and became a mother of two.

“When the Ridgefield Playhouse was about to open, I wanted to go see what it was about,” she recalls. “The playhouse became my third child.

Along with my two other kids, I raised it and really grew it. It was a 500-seat theater that was similar to what we will be doing at Glazer Hall, where there will be amazing acts in an intimate

The Glazers are pictured at their Palm Beach home with their dog, Eloise. In 2020, the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach recognized this home (designed by Marcio Kogan) with the Elizabeth L. and John H. Schuler Award.

People want culture now more than they ever did. They care a lot. And they’ve told us that Glazer Hall could be something that [keeps] them in town longer.”

The Glazers’ home deviates from the Mediterranean Revival style so prominent on Palm Beach, instead embracing a minimalist design that still manages to feel warm via the use of natural materials and a cohesive dialogue with the surrounding garden.

space. So, my background is in understanding the whole value of seeing some of these worldrenowned acts in a small, intimate setting and how meaningful that can be.”

In terms of Glazer Hall’s complete 2026 lineup (which was not publicly available at press time), Stockel says to expect the full spectrum of performing arts, including all genres of music, dance, comedy, special speakers, and educational programming for schools. Some performances that have been announced are the Preservation Hall Jazz Band February 5 (complete with a preshow New Orleans–style culinary experience), singer-songwriter Judy Collins March 3, and the 116

American Ballet Theatre January 30-31.

“Even though I ran a theater for 22 years, this is going to be a very different type of experience,” Stockel says. “The possibilities of what we can do here are even greater because of the technology we’ll have and the way the spaces are configured. When I walked into that theater for the first time, I thought, ‘Oh my God, I need to help. I need to be a part of this.’ I came out of retirement specifically for this gig.”

For those who grew up going to The Royal Poinciana Playhouse with their families, news of its impending return is cause for excite-

ment, especially since they know how passionate the Glazers are about preservation.

“We have owned a landmark home in Palm Beach,” Jill says. “We’ve renovated 300-yearold homes. Previously, we won the [Elizabeth L. and John H.] Schuler Award for Preservation for our house that we currently live in. We care about restoration, preservation, and architecture. And I think for the town, they knew that. There are always going to be some people who aren’t going to be happy with change, but for the most part, I think people are very happy. We get emails and calls every day from people asking us to meet

with them and tell them more about it and how they can get involved.”

For people who love art and culture, Stockel says there can never be enough of it, and Glazer Hall will complement the cultural venues that are already exist in the area.

“People want culture now more than they ever did,” Jill says. “They care a lot. And they’ve told us that Glazer Hall could be something that [keeps] them in town longer.

They’ll no longer have to head out of town to see a show.”

It’ll be right around the corner with a waterfront view. « PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | DECEMBER 2025

When: December 5-7 Where: Miami Beach Convention Center An offshoot of the original Art Basel in Switzerland, the Miami Beach fair has become a cornerstone of not just Miami Art Week but global art as a whole. Last year’s edition welcomed more than 75,000 attendees, resulting in approximately $547 million in economic activity.

Art Basel Miami Beach 2025 will boast 284 galleries from 43 countries and territories, with an eye toward Latinx, Indigenous, and diasporic voices. The main fair is divided into several exhibition sectors: Galleries, the main sector, featuring leading modern, post-war, and contemporary art dealers; Nova, which is reserved for galleries presenting work created within the last three years by up to three artists; Positions, where young galleries exhibit solo presentations by emerging talents; and Survey, which looks at artistic practices through a historic lens. Beyond this, Art Basel Miami Beach stages a Conversations series and Digital Dialogues, and partners with organizations across the Miami area on complementary programming. (artbasel.com/miami-beach)

ART TALK WITH DIANA LOWENSTEIN AND ILANA OHANA For more than five decades, the Lowenstein family has been closely tied to the South Florida art scene. In 1971, they purchased the historic DiLido Beach Hotel on Miami Beach, which later became The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach, opening in 2004. Art has remained central to the property ever since. Led by gallerist Diana Lowenstein, the family has curated contemporary works throughout the hotel and supported Art Basel Miami Beach through exhibitions and installations that connect global artists with the city’s vibrant culture.

Today, a new generation joins the legacy as Diana’s granddaughter, Ilana Ohana, continues the family’s fusion of art and hospitality. We caught up with them both to discuss cross-generational collecting and more. (dianalowensteingallery.com, ritzcarlton.com) PBI: What trends are you seeing in art collecting?

Diana: I belong to a different generation of art lovers and dealers. For our generation, art is universal and doesn’t have a time. If you study art history, like the Renaissance, you see that historically there were always trends, yet art always spoke to what the artists were experiencing in their lives. There is the continuation of that today. Today’s artists are still saying something about what they are experiencing now, it just might be in a new medium that had not been created yet when I began studying art.

Ilana: As we are seeing more Millennial and Gen Z art collectors, the discovery of art and trends starts more online, through Instagram and other digital platforms.

In addition, people expect more transparency in areas like pricing. I feel like we are also constantly exposed to more forms of technology, so it’s not unusual for us to be drawn toward tech-based and data-driven installations. Younger collectors also tend to be more open to supporting emerging artists early on in their careers. I also see more interest in sustainable themes

and the use of biophilia in artworks, especially as people are becoming more climate-focused.

What advice do you have for today’s art collector?

Diana: The word “collector” used to mean that you need to be into high-end things and have millions of dollars. But in reality, everybody can be a collector. When you have a piece of art, it makes you feel a certain way, and it excites you. If you don’t have that [feeling], I don’t think it’s valid to buy that art piece.

Ilana: Focus on your values. Collecting isn’t about prestige anymore—it’s about aligning yourself with the work. Does it reflect something you value? Do you connect with it?

Sometimes the artwork finds you before you find it. I encourage everyone to really expand their horizons by coming to galleries. The best galleries don’t gatekeep, they open doors.

What should viewers take away from an art experience?

Ilana: Collecting is kind of like oxygen— the best art changes the atmosphere around you. Trends will come and go, Millennials may buy differently, but art makes us feel connected throughout the world.

BIENVENUE “The idea behind this gourmet market is to bring an elegant yet welcoming café to Palm Beach, where locals and visitors alike can grab a quick bite or coffee, while also bringing home curated goods from all over the world, including Scottish salmon, Petrossian caviar, or honey from Provence,” says Payard. “And of course, I’ve brought the best of my beloved pastry creations from all my Payard bakeries and some new ones.”

Sweet highlights include a trio of small cakes named for nearby streets—The Hibiscus, The Worth Avenue, and The Peruvian—illustrating the love the Le Bilboquet team has for this community.

“I want Le Bilboquet Market to be known for fair pricing, the best sourced ingredients, and uncompromising craftsmanship,” Payard adds. “This community has been so welcoming. Palm Beach is truly a special place that deserves the best market.” (instagram.com/ lebilboquetmarket) —Mary Murray

From its Mediterranean Revival architecture to its charming vias, Palm Beach has always had a certain je ne sais quoi. That European essence has become even more palpable with the debut of Le Bilboquet Market. Situated on Peruvian Avenue—around the corner from its popular sister restaurant—the new gourmet market from Le Bilboquet Group brings a quintessential Parisian culinary experience to Palm Beach.

A true all-day café, Le Bilboquet Market features a full coffee bar as well as upscale grab-andgo options such as freshly made salads, quiches, and sandwiches, plus decadent French pastries and a well-stocked market with gems from around the world. To aid in this curation, Le Bilboquet’s founder, Philippe Delgrange, tapped James Beard Award–winning pastry chef François Payard to serve as culinary director.

SAVOR COMMUNITY

FROM BEANS TO BIG IDEAS If you like to dine out in Palm Beach County, chances are you’ve savored a cup of Oceana Coffee. Since 2009, owners Amy and Scott Angelo have roasted fair-trade and organic coffees for local businesses and connoisseurs—originally working with a converted popcorn maker they purchased from eBay, with operations based at their Oceana Coffee Roasting House and Café in Tequesta.

Earlier this year, the Angelos expanded their footprint in Palm Beach County with the opening of Culinary Crossroads in Lake Park. In addition to housing a new Oceana Café and the brand’s first drive-through, Culinary Crossroads boasts Oceana’s roasting facilities (complete with a new roasting machine that increases production tenfold) as well as Florida Canning Company and a membership-based kitchen and event venue known

as the Culinary Studio.

Every facet of Culinary Crossroads came from a need that Oceana Coffee had, explains Betsy Cohen, who serves as Oceana’s “speaker for the beans” and brand ambassador.

The canning operation, for example, began when the Angelos wanted to can their own cold brew. Now they can offer white-label canning of nonalcoholic beverages for other businesses.

“There was also a need in our community for a membership-based culinary space,” Cohen says of the Culinary Studio, which is geared toward chefs, cater-

ers, food truck owners, and what Cohen describes as “foodpreneurs.” Spanning 12,000 square feet, the Culinary Studio offers customizable private studios, access to a professional hot line, and interior and exterior areas for cooking classes, private dinners, and more.

Culinary Crossroads also hosts public events, such as reoccurring Sip and Shop gatherings featuring local vendors (the next is slated for the morning of December 13). Fitness programming is on tap too, with “The Art of Ballroom Dancing: East Coast Swing and Bachata” classes planned for December 3 and 18, and “The Art of Tai Chi” scheduled for December 4. “The public events are a way to let people know it’s their space too,” adds Cohen.

2015 Michel Gonet Blanc de Blancs. One category where it is easy to splurge is Champagne. Gonet is a small grower who flies under the radar, and this vintage gem is worth every penny.

2023 La Bouche du Roi “La Voie Royale” Chardonnay. Grand Cru White Burgundy, the scarce and globally coveted white wine of France, may not be the best place to splurge if you are looking for an excellent quality-to-price ratio. Instead, head north, to the historic and recently replanted vineyards of Versailles. La Voie Royal is layered, toothsome, and delivers on every sip.

2016 Château Talbot Saint-Julien.

When looking to buy a nice bottle of Bordeaux, we recommend splurging on estates that are well-regarded but not overly hyped. This stunner from Château Talbot is divine with a holiday meal of lamb or a more casual lunch of steak frites.

COURTESY OF WEST PALM WINE CO.

We like to tell our customers at West Palm Wine Co. that not all expensive wines are created equal. While price often reflects quality, it doesn’t always tell the whole story. A bottle’s cost can be embellished by brand prestige, scarcity, or reputation—factors that matter little when you’re pouring a glass at dinner or celebrating a milestone.

For most casual wine lovers, the decision to splurge comes down to a simple question: is what’s inside the bottle worth the price? This is where the quality-to-price ratio becomes essential. A thoughtfully crafted $150 bottle that delivers exceptional flavor, complexity, and balance will always feel more rewarding than a $500 bottle that disappoints, no matter how prestigious the label.

Of course, not everyone buys wine for the same reasons. Serious collectors chase vintage rarities and investment potential. Others seek status symbols for special occasions or to impress guests. These motivations are valid, but they serve different purposes. For those who splurge because they want to taste something extraordinary—wines that deliver a genuine return on investment measured in pleasure not prestige—the following wines are for you.

WE RAISE A GLASS TO THE BOCA RATON’S GRAND CENTENNIAL

The Boca Raton stands on the brink of a historic milestone: its centennial.

For nearly 100 years, it has been a sanctuary of luxury, a place where elegance meets innovation. As 2026 approaches, the resort prepares to celebrate a century of hospitality that has defined its reputation worldwide.

This landmark anniversary will unite guests, locals, and visitors in a series of grand events designed to honor the past and inspire the future. It’s a moment to reflect on a legacy built on excellence— and to toast to what’s to come.

To mark this special occasion, the resort will unveil exclusive experiences and signature cocktails that embody its timeless sophistication. Among these, the Grand Century shines as a toast to a hundred years of grandeur.

Crafted with tequila and Grand Marnier Cuvée du Centenaire, this cocktail captures the spirit of celebration. It’s a refined blend—vibrant, luxurious, and memorable—just like the resort itself. (thebocaraton.com)

FROM CIT Y TO OCEAN, THE FINE ART OF PALM BEACH LIVING

DESIGN

SUNNY DISPOSITION When creating for a showhouse filled with spaces by talented designers, the challenge is finding a way to stand out.

That’s exactly what Lisa Erdmann of Lisa Erdmann Interiors achieved when she debuted this conversationsparking sitting room in the annual Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach.

“The space is fun and playful,” says Erdmann. “There is a gregarious mix of bright yellows, natural fibers, and whites with pops of accent color fabrics. We also showcased that you could mix antiques with modern elements and transitional furniture to create a very successful space.”

Erdmann fell in love with a Nelson

De La Nuez painting at DTR Modern in Palm Beach, and the work became a focal piece as it was strong enough to pop on the yellow Schumacher wallpaper.

Without any restrictions on her creativity, Erdmann’s wow-effect sunny space delivered a noteworthy performance in an elite talent show. (lisaerdmann.com) —Liza Grant Smith

strong candidates for this ceiling treatment.

Metallic finishes can have the golden touch, with gold-, silver-, or copper-painted, -plastered, or -wallpapered ceilings adding a splash of Hollywood glam and chicness. Elevate the look by keeping the room’s other walls and furniture simple and largely in white.

It can speak to your atmosphere and help set your desired tone.

One of the overall goals of interior design is to create a cohesive mood within a space. Your desired result is the sum of all the elements you incorporate—everything from fabrics, patterns, and colors to furniture selection and placement. Your ceiling can be a compelling component that speaks to that mood.

Painting the ceiling a darker color with a warm, saturated hue creates intimacy and a cocoon-like effect in a space that may have felt too sterile or cavernous before. This is a good option for a dining room or tranquil bedroom. Dark hues can also establish a moody and elevated aesthetic.

Made from beams and panels arranged in a grid, coffered ceilings have historically been a trademark of traditional homes, but they can be incorporated into any space where you would like to add sophistication and elegance.

Larger bedrooms, living rooms, foyers, and home libraries are

It can create drama and personality.

While drama can be a way to turn up the volume in a space, too much drama has the potential to create discordant design. By saving the drama for the ceiling—rather than the primary walls—it becomes an unexpected focal point that doesn’t overtake the visual field.

Strong colors, like charcoal, black, or navy, can lend a dramatic modern effect, particularly in tall rooms that have a lot of light. Utilizing texture and decorative details like wallpaper, tiles, or wood panels is another great way to add a pop of drama, as they provide visual impact without being overwhelming. Or, for maximum design oomph, you can go all in with a dynamic combination of painted coffers and wallpaper.

It can change the perception of space and height.

Ceiling treatments can be used to trick our brain’s perception of visual space. Consider these strategies:

Using a lighter color on the ceiling than on the walls reflects the most light, causing the room to feel more open and airier. A paint with a high-gloss finish also reflects light and can have the same ceiling-heightening effect.

«

By painting the ceiling the same color as the primary walls, often referred to as “color drenching,” you can make the room feel immersive and more spacious, as it eliminates color contrasts that distract the eye. In smaller spaces, this enveloping effect with moody hues can up the intimacy quotient.

In contrast, using a darker tone on the ceiling draws it down visually and makes the space feel cozier.

ABOUT FACE

RED ALERT Worn by some of the most iconic women in history, including Coco Chanel and Marilyn Monroe, red lipstick is unique in its ability to instantly convey power, rebellion, glamour, and sensuality. As it turns out, the impact of red lipstick doesn’t end there. According to the “red lip theory”—a philosophy gaining traction on social media and among makeup artists—wearing a bold red shade with an otherwise bare (or minimal) face can make skin appear more even.

“There is truth in the idea that wearing the right red lipstick will distract from minor imperfections such as discoloration or blemishes,” says Palm

Beach–based makeup artist Deborah Koepper of Deborah Koepper Beauty. “The eye is drawn to the mouth and away from imperfections, creating the illusion that they are gone and your complexion is smoother and more balanced.”

According to Koepper, the trick to applying red lipstick is to use a neutral lip pencil to draw a symmetrical lip and apply the lipstick with a lip brush. Create a matte look by putting a tissue over the lip and then brushing with translucent powder. Try it yourself with Koepper’s Red Carpet lipstick or Chanel’s Rouge hue.

BALANCE MENTAL HEALTH

MINDFULNESS IN MINIATURE EXPERT TIPS FOR HELPING KIDS FIND CALM, CONFIDENCE, AND CONNECTION IN AN OVERSTIMULATED WORLD Rates of anxiety among children and adolescents in the United States have been steadily increasing over the last 10 years. The good news is that you’re never too young to practice meditation and mindfulness, which have been scientifically proven to reduce symptoms of anxiety. PBI caught up with Veronica Moya, a West Palm Beach–based meditation expert for children and author of the new book Goom Finds His Happy Place, to learn more. (veronicamoya.com) PBI: Why are meditation and mindfulness programs important for children?

Moya: Today’s children are growing up in an overstimulated world, [with] constant pressure, nonstop screen time, and endless comparison. This disconnect has left many kids anxious and uncertain about who they are.

My programs give them what the outside world doesn’t: empathy, self-acceptance, and genuine self-love. These practices are not optional; they are essential for healthy mental development. If children learn meditation now, they can prevent the anxiety, stress, and emotional struggles that too often follow them into adulthood.

What is your goal when working with children?

My goal is for every child to feel deeply loved, confident, and secure in who they are. I want them to trust that life is always working out for them—even when things feel hard.

BRADLEY LAU PHOTOGRAPHY

BY LIZA GRANT SMITH

Veronica Moya (above) authored Goom Finds His Happy Place to further her mission of creating a movement for children’s mental wellness.

So many kids today feel like they have to push, perform, and prove themselves just to be “enough.” I show them that they don’t have to live that way. When a child has the experience of going within and realizing “I am safe, I am loved, I am supported,” everything changes. They stop struggling to keep up or to fit in. Instead, they begin to flow with life, and they carry themselves with a peace and confidence you can’t get from grades, sports, or any outside achievement.

How do you reach the children you work with?

Kids are naturally receptive; their bodies and minds already know how to return to balance. They just need the space and guidance to access it. … Through playful exercises, stories, and guided meditations, I make mindfulness relatable and fun. And when they realize that peace is always available within them, they carry that awareness into school, their homes, and any moment life feels overwhelming.

Who would benefit from your programs?

Too many people still think mindfulness is only for kids who are “struggling.” That’s not the case at all. Mental health is not something you address only once there’s a problem (when depression, anxiety, or insomnia show up).

It’s something we must practice to prevent those issues in the first place. The ideal age to start is at 5 years old. Of course, some kids come because they’re anxious, have ADHD, or are dealing with social challenges. But the truth is, every single child will face self-doubt, anxiety, or negative thoughts at some point. We all do. These tools give them a way to stop those patterns before they take root and become part of their identity.

X MOYA’S HOMEWORK FOR MINDFULNESS “I encourage parents to set aside time for simple practices like self-reflection, gratitude, and affirmations. I even have playlists of these on my YouTube channel that families can use together.”

“Creative expression is a great tool. Drawing or journaling about their feelings helps kids process what they experience and really anchor the lesson. When they put it on paper, it becomes real for them.”

“Make it fun. Mindfulness shouldn’t feel like another school assignment. I love using games like musical chairs to help kids notice what stress feels like in their bodies or what it feels like to be left out. When the lesson is playful, it sticks.”

COURTESY OF SNEEX

Well-Heeled Comfort Ladies, do you really need a pair of highheeled sneakers? The answer is yes. Although there have been iterations of pumped-up sneakers from shoe designers over the years, none have ever become a proprietary eponym. The luxury hybrid stilettos called Sneex, which came to market last year, are on track to win an entry in our lexicon—and closet. You can thank Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx shapewear, the multibillion-dollar brand and household name.

Nine years ago, when Blakely set out to design a comfortable high heel, she was repeatedly told it could not be done. After numerous attempts, she and her team came up with a winning design. They concentrated on making three changes to the centuries-old high heel, including widening the toe box, shrinking the gap between

the heel and toe, and altering the weight distribution (from 80 percent on the ball of the foot and 20 percent on the heel to a fifty-fifty split).

The result is a Velcro-strapped mesh sneaker perched on a sturdy yet slender 3-inch heel, fabricated from the brand’s patent-pending Hy-Heel technology. The shoes range in price from $395 to $595 and are available in several colors, including lime green, terra-cotta, and champagne, a hue favored by brides.

“Sneex were born from the belief that women shouldn’t have to choose between comfort and style,” says Rachel Goldflam, chief marketing officer for the company. “At their core, Sneex are about empowering women to move through their lives with both elegance and ease—feeling as comfortable as they do confident.” (sneex.com) —Gaylene Salomons

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO FOCUS ON PRIVATE, ONE-ON-ONE SESSIONS, SETTING HOUSE OF PILATES APART FROM MOST STUDIOS?

I created the experience I always desired as a client: a truly private session where the focus is solely on you. Eliminating the distractions of a group class or multiple concurrent sessions in the same room ensures you receive 100 percent individualized attention. This dedicated time allows us to be completely in tune with your body, creating a custom, detailed plan for every single workout.

HOW DO YOU INTEGRATE MODERN SCIENCE AND STRENGTH TRAINING INTO A PRACTICE THAT STARTED SO LONG AGO?

The first Pilates studio opened in the 1920s, but our knowledge of the body has advanced since then. I modify classic principles based on up-to-date science and a deep understanding of functional anatomy creatively combining Pilates with elements of physical therapy, resistance training, and free weights to give you functional strength and improve movement patterns.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE OR PHILOSOPHY THAT DRIVES CLIENT SUCCESS AT HOUSE OF PILATES?

The salmon on the menu at ReSpa Palm Beach isn’t served on a plate but rather in the form of a cell-rejuvenating facial. One of the med spa’s most popular treatments is the Polynucleotide Facial, which is powered by salmon DNA, a bioactive compound known for its regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties, notes ReSpa’s founder, Renata Bauer-Saville.

“Using purified DNA molecules derived from salmon, the treatment activates fibroblast and collagen production, improving skin’s texture, elasticity, and hydration,” says Bauer-Saville. “We describe it as a ‘skin reset,’ an elegant way to rejuvenate naturally, without aggressive lasers or extended downtime.”

She adds that the treatment is ideal for anyone experiencing dullness, dryness, or loss of elasticity or who simply wants to enhance their skin’s vitality. “It’s suitable for all skin types, including sensitive or mature skin, and is particu-

larly effective for clients seeking a regenerative option that delivers real results without injectables or fillers.”

As with all treatments at ReSpa, the Polynucleotide Facial begins with a consultation. The facial itself starts with a gentle cleanse, and then your provider will apply a topical numbing cream for comfort.

“Using our meso-needling or meso-infusion technique, the salmon DNA is infused into the skin to maximize absorption and regeneration,” Bauer-Saville explains. “The session takes about 45 to 60 minutes and involves little to no downtime. You may notice a light flush for a few hours, followed by visibly plumper, more hydrated, and radiant skin within days. Over the following weeks, collagen synthesis continues to improve firmness and texture—making this a favorite for both immediate glow and long-term rejuvenation.” (respapalmbeach.com) —L.G.S.

NAVIGATING HOLIDAY HIGHS RESET YOUR BODY AND MIND WITH TIPS THAT OUTSMART DECEMBER STRESS

«

U CO

OF CHLO RTESY EK

TIP 1: CYCLE YOUR STRESS. The nervous system works in two modes: the sympathetic, which propels us into motion, and the parasympathetic, which restores and repairs.

A regulated nervous system is built not through constant calm but through contrast. This December, balance your “on” days (cocktail parties and high-intensity workouts) with deliberate “off” days (early nights and holiday baking). Honor this cadence and you’ll find yourself with more stamina all season long.

X

The car door shuts with a soft click. I exhale into the quiet, heels dangling in my hand while holiday music hums between my ears.

The night sparkled with festivity, yet I return home feeling flat. I think my shimmer stayed behind with the Champagne flutes and Christmas cookies.

Beneath the holiday cheer runs a glittery current of overstimulation: disrupted routines, sugar highs, and emotions bubbling like a glass of Veuve. December races by until we land in that strange limbo between Christmas and New Year. No wonder the “most wonderful time of the year” often leaves us feeling drained. Our hormones, adrenals, and blood sugar quietly bear the strain.

But when we prioritize our health, we reclaim December with our own kind of holiday cheer—one that radiates from within. Read on to learn how.

TIP 2: BUFFER YOUR BLOOD SUGAR. Holiday indulgence is a given. The trick shouldn’t be to abstain but to outsmart. One of the simplest tools is apple cider vinegar. A tablespoon stirred into water and consumed before dessert

or a carb-heavy meal can blunt the post-meal blood sugar spike. The acetic acid slows starch digestion, allowing blood sugar to rise more gradually. No glucose roller coaster here—just a smooth sleigh ride.

TIP 3: EMBRACE ULTRADIAN RHYTHMS. The season may feel like a marathon, but your brain is wired for sprints. Neuroscience research supports the idea that we operate in focus cycles (often lasting around 90 minutes), each followed by a natural dip in attention. Instead of powering through, work with the rhythm. Use these windows for gift wrapping, party prep, or focused projects, then step away for 10 to 15 minutes. These micropauses don’t waste time—they restore it, giving you the recharge you need to power on.

FIBER TO THE MAX PART SOCIAL MEDIA CRAZE, PART DOCTOR-APPROVED HABIT—HERE’S THE SCOOP ON FIBERMAXXING

BY LIZA GRANT SMITH

What is Fibermaxxing?

«

While “fibermaxxing” is not an official medical term, its philosophy is rooted in science. It is essentially boosting your daily fiber intake to meet or even exceed the recommended daily intake, which is typically between 25 and 38 grams for adults.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that most American adults only get half of these recommended amounts. This shortfall is particularly concerning as consuming more dietary fiber has been shown to have a positive impact on digestive health, weight management, heart health, and blood sugar. Fiber consumption has also been linked to a lower risk of developing certain types of cancer.

If you are interested in fibermaxxing, start by taking stock of your current fiber intake and then gradually increase that over several days. This will allow your digestive system to adjust accordingly and avoid unwanted side effects like bloating, gas, and constipation.

Also, fiber absorbs water, so be sure to drink plenty of fluids.

Easy Ways to Fibermaxx Your Diet X

SNACK SALTY Bada Bean Bada Boom takes broad beans (full of plant-based protein and fiber), roasts them for crunch, and then seasons them to perfection. The snacks come in flavors such as Sweet Sriracha, Buffalo Wing, and Sweet Cinnamon—all with 5 grams of fiber per serving. (badabeansnacks.com)

START YOUR DAY

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE BY BUILDING A BOX OF 12, 30, OR 50 POUCHES OF THE HOLOS OVERNIGHT MUESLI IN FLAVORS LIKE MATCHA RASPBERRY (11 GRAMS OF FIBER PER POUCH) OR CINNAMON FRENCH TOAST (10 GRAMS OF FIBER PER POUCH). POUR A PACKET INTO THE INCLUDED REUSABLE JAR, ADD MILK, AND REFRIGERATE IT OVERNIGHT TO START FIBERMAXXING AS SOON AS YOUR DAY BEGINS. (US.LIVEHOLOS.COM)

PLASTIC SURGERY

DID YOU KNOW? with Edward H Davidson, MD, FACS Director, Palm Beach Plastic Surgery Institute

5 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT RHINOPLASTY 1. HOW IS COSMETIC RHINOPLASTY DIFFERENT FROM FUNCTIONAL RHINOPLASTY??

Cosmetic rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure primarily focused on enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the nose, including the nose’s size, shape and symmetry, the nostrils’ width and the angle between the nose and the upper lip. Functional rhinoplasty, or septorhinoplasty, is a comprehensive procedure that combines aesthetic enhancements with functional improvements, such as correcting a deviated septum and other internal nasal issues to improve breathing. Functional and appearance-related concerns are often interrelated.

2. HOW IS THE SURGERY DONE, AND IS IT THE SAME FOR EVERYONE?

Rhinoplasty is typically performed as outpatient surgery, with patients going home the same day. It is performed under general anesthetic with patients asleep. A closed (no scar) or open approach may be utilized depending on which maneuvers are needed.

Each procedure is therefore 100% customized depending on the concerns, goals and specific anatomy of each patient. There are also gender and ethnic considerations to ensure results appear natural.

3. ARE THERE OTHER PROCEDURES COMMONLY PERFORMED AT THE SAME TIME AS RHINOPLASTY?

Rhinoplasty should enhance facial harmony, creating a proportional nose that complements other facial features. The balance between the nose and the chin is particularly important so genioplasty surgery to reduce, augment or mold the chin is the most common complementary procedure combined with rhinoplasty.

4. WHAT’S THE RECOVERY LIKE?

Expect bruising and swelling to last one month but to improve significantly by two weeks. Most patients take one to two weeks off work. Strenuous activities should be avoided for a few weeks. Most patients feel ready to go out socially after two weeks but it can take up to three months to be “event ready”. Results continue to mature for up to a year.

5. CAN THE COST OF RHINOPLASTY BE COVERED BY HEALTH INSURANCE?

Insurance may cover the cost if the surgery is medically necessary. This may include reconstructive rhinoplasty to address appearance-related issues after trauma or cancer treatments, or to address congenital differences seen in patients with cleft lip, for example. Functional septoplasty or septorhinoplasty to improve breathing is also typically considered medically necessary.

HOSTING from the Heart

CO URT DER ESY O F TAMMY FEN

GOOD NATURE

GROUNDED RITUALS AND SMALL DETAILS CAN TRANSFORM ENTERTAINING INTO A SOULFUL ACT OF CARE

BY TAMMY FENDER

«

In the wellness world, you often hear people talk about “holding space” as a new concept. But, as any good host or hostess knows, making others feel at ease is a very old idea.

Still, there are ways in which the principles of holistic living can enhance how you share your hospitality. I love caring for others—as a mother, family member, and friend as well as a holistic practitioner and business owner. So, just in time for the holiday season, I’m sharing three tried-and-true rules for hosting.

1. When the host is relaxed and happy, everyone else can relax too. As a guest, there is noth-

ing as inviting as when you are received by a host who exudes calm. Getting yourself into that state of mind is just as important as selecting the flowers or getting the lighting just right. This means setting aside the time for self-care and determining what would support you most.

A stress-dissolving massage on the morning of the big event, perhaps? Or maybe it’s simply putting on a luxuriant face mask as part of your prep. Choosing what to wear with your own comfort and confidence in mind is key. Evoking this steadiness, I also rely on essential oils like cedar and rosemary, which can be so perfect when used in a dif-

fuser at this festive time of year.

Cedar is strength embodied, encouraging grounded composure. Rosemary helps clear mental fog, instilling clarity.

2. Hospitality is always about the guest. Before the event begins, you are your highest priority.

But once things start rolling, that focus shifts dramatically. The most gracious hosts maintain an engaged orientation toward their guests with foresight and mindfulness, and without resentment. If that means changing the menu discreetly or understanding when someone is late, let it be your pleasure. It can be easy to delight in rolling with it all if you remember that your event is a gift and, like all gifts, it should be given from the heart with no strings attached. Set the intention to put your guests at ease. Then, when things don’t go as planned or when the weather, caterer, or guest of honor goes off the rails,

remember ease is your goal. One of the mantras I rely on when facing any of the above is “presence over perfection.”

3. The smallest details count.

How many times have you marveled at the little extras that show your host cares? What makes an event so special isn’t always a splashy fireworks display but the smallest and most thoughtful gestures. When you celebrate with small groups instead of large ones, intimacy is its own gift.

Planning your menu in a way that reflects what’s local and in season is a beautiful way to exercise care, as is considering tiny comforts—a shawl on a chairback or strategically placed reading glasses on a nearby tray. In the same way, softening the lighting and turning to candlelight as the evening progresses contributes to the cozy atmosphere. What could be more old-fashioned and holistic than that? «

WEALTH

THE ART OF DIVERSIFICATION ECONOMISTS AND COLLECTORS ALIKE SAY ART OFFERS BOTH PORTFOLIO DIVERSITY AND LASTING VALUE

BY JOE PYE

When investors build a portfolio, the usual suspects come to mind: stocks, bonds, real estate, even gold and Bitcoin. One asset often overlooked as a hedge against inflation is art.

According to the 2025 Art Basel and UBS survey of more than 3,600 high-net-worth collectors, 85 percent view art as a relatively safe investment compared with traditional assets, while one in four cite financial considerations as their primary reason for buying.

The same report estimated global art sales in 2024 at $57.5 billion, representing the second consecutive year of declining sales, following a peak of $68.1 billion in 2022. But despite this dip, “the volume of sales grew by 3 percent in 2024, highlighting increased activity at more accessible price points.”

Economist William Goetzmann, who serves

as the Edwin J. Beinecke Professor of Finance and Management Studies at Yale University and the faculty director of the International Center for Finance at the Yale School of Management, contributed to the study and says that the long-run data tells the story: collector sentiment doesn’t swing wildly year to year, and the market doesn’t behave like daily stock trading. Art cycles through trends, with genres and artists rising and falling in favor.

Goetzmann argues that art works best as a long-term, buy-and-hold strategy—one that enriches life while offering steady, if modest, returns. He estimates annual returns typically fall between 4 and 6 percent, landing between bonds and stocks.

“One shouldn’t change long-term assumptions about art as an investment based on a

single year,” Goetzmann explains. “My research, and that of others, suggests that over time, art performs somewhere between stocks and bonds, once you account for costs.”

WHERE TO START Anyone can buy from an auction house or a gallery, but Goetzmann wouldn’t tell a newcomer to start bidding. Savvy investors seek advice in stocks and real estate, and art isn’t different. He recommends working with an art advisor.

Tania Buckrell Pos, founder of Arts & Management International LLP, says every purchase should balance head and heart—and a second set of eyes can prevent costly mistakes.

Newer collectors may not know how to trace a work’s history or verify its paperwork, steps that protect value and minimize legal risk. An

196 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

196_WEALTH_1225.indd 196

10/26/25 4:37 PM

advisor will verify the provenance and consult art-loss databases to ensure that a piece hasn’t been stolen or looted.

“When you’re buying blue-chip art like a Picasso, [if] it’s been owned by important collectors and is in good condition, it’s probably a solid investment,” Pos says. “As long as you’re paying the right price, you’d hope that over time it goes up in value.”

Not every major purchase happens at auction. Private-treaty sales are a quiet way to match a serious buyer with an important work. Practicalities matter, too. Insurance isn’t optional, and living with the work requires care—especially paintings that shouldn’t sit in direct Florida sun.

The goal is simple: buy well, document well, insure, and take care of what you own.

FRACTIONAL SHARES AND ART FUNDS Over the past decade, fractional art investing has emerged as a way to participate in high-value art without buying an entire piece. The online art platform Masterworks

was among the first to offer this in 2017.

However, there are others, including Yieldstreet and Particle.

Fractional investing can diversify a portfolio and offer some inflation protection, but Goetzmann is clear about the trade-offs. “People have tried to create art funds,” he says. “The first problem is, who gets to hold the work of art and experience the pleasure of it? Art is not as liquid as you might wish it to be.”

Think of it like private equity: you commit capital and may wait years for results. If you’re considering a slice of a fund or a share of a single work, understand how you get in, what it costs, and how—or if— you get out.

The broader point is that art doesn’t move in step with the stock market. You can track stock indexes in real time. Art, however, appreciates more slowly, and the market ebbs and flows. Andy Warhol and pop art may dominate today, while Monet and impression-

ism may surge tomorrow.

As Goetzmann notes, art is an asset people will always pay for, but those values will fluctuate over time. “The thing that’s really long-term positive about art and art collecting [is that] people have been valuing works of art for longer than stocks and bonds, even most any other asset you could imagine,” he says. “The fascination and the pleasure you get from owning and experiencing works of art is older than Homo sapiens. It’s not going to go away.” «

The Making of the Modern Department Store Fall Exhibition • November 11, 2025 - January 18, 2026 Explore the dynamic rise of the department store as an influential institution of modern urban life. Emerging in the 19th-century with the retail groundbreaker, Le Bon Marché, the department store quickly became a global phenomenon, re-shaping the landscape of commerce, architecture, gender roles, and public spaces. American versions, like Lord & Taylor, Bergdorf Goodman, and Wanamaker’s, adapted the concept - offering an exciting blend of luxury, mass consumption and spectacle.

The 65 thInternational Red Cross Ball A Tribute Military and Humanitarian Excellence

The Palm Beach and Treasure Coast Chapter of the American Red Cross is proud to announce the 65th International Red Cross Ball will take place on Friday, January 9, 2026, at The Breakers Palm Beach.

This renowned event, a cornerstone of the Palm Beach social season, will once again be hosted by Dame Amanda Schumacher and Charles Schumacher for their fourth and final consecutive year. The Schumachers have left an indelible mark on the Ball’s history, leading with vision and generosity. Under their chairmanship, the 64th International Red Cross Ball became the most successful fundraising event in the Ball’s history, raising record-breaking support for the American Red Cross.

“Charles and I are honored to continue our dedication to the International Red Cross Ball and support of the collaborative efforts of our nation’s military and the distinguished worldwide Ambassadors,” said Dame Amanda Schumacher.

This historic event brings together global ambassadors, distinguished guests and our nation’s military in an unforgettable evening of elegance and philanthropy. More than tradition, the Ball supports the lifesaving mission of the American Red Cross, helping families in crisis and honoring our military heroes.

This year’s Ball takes place at a historic moment, as the nation marks the 250th anniversaries of the U.S. Army, Navy and Marine Corps in 2025, leading into the 250th anniversary of the United States of America in 2026. As the military’s history is inseparable from America’s history, and with the American Red Cross itself founded on the battlefields of the Civil War,

the Ball will celebrate the U.S. Armed Forces and reaffirm our commitment to supporting military service members, veterans and their families at home and abroad.

Fittingly, the evening will honor General Randy A. George, the 41st Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, and his wife, Patty George, with the distinguished Patriots Legacy Award. General George, who has served our nation in combat and command around the globe, is also the evening’s keynote speaker. Patty George, a West Point graduate and veteran, has spent over three decades advancing Soldier and Family Readiness and promoting wellness initiatives across military communities.

Together, the Georges exemplify the leadership and devotion to service that the Red Cross is privileged to recognize.

The 65th International Red Cross Ball will feature its signature receiving line and processional, exquisite dining, an impactful call to the heart, and a night of live entertainment and dancing.

Co-chairmen include Ms. Vera Alfieri, Mr. and Mrs. James Engel, Mr. and Mrs. Murray Kessler, Dr. and Mrs. Armin Oskouei, Dr. and Mrs. Zbig Scheller, and Mr. and Mrs. Michael Treacy. Honorary Chairmen include Mrs. Robert T. Butler, Retired Brigadier General Peter Dawkins and The Honorable Mary Ourisman-Dawkins, The Honorable Bonnie McElveen Hunter, Ms. Suzanne Niedland, and Mr. and Mrs. Leo Vecellio.

Sponsorship opportunities are limited. For more information, please contact Meredith da Silva at (954) 649-0655 or email SouthFloridaRSVP@redcross.org.

DEAR LIZ EL E

BY LIZ LANGE ILLUSTRATIONS BY LISA KAW CK NI

M

Dear Liz,

Is there a way to wear sequins in Palm Beach without feeling overdressed?

Absolutely! In Palm Beach, sequins count as a neutral (I’m only half joking). The trick is how you pair them.

A sequined skirt with a crisp white shirt feels effortless. A sparkly top with jeans? Chic and not at all “I’m going to the Oscars.” I like sequins best when they’re a little irreverent—in daylight, with flats, at cocktails by the pool. Just promise me you won’t wait until New Year’s Eve to wear them. Life’s too short to save your sparkle.

XO,

LL

HAVE A QUESTION FOR LIZ? EMAIL HER AT DEARLIZ@ PALMBEACH ILLUSTRATED. COM

Dear Liz,

Dear Liz,

How do you balance high fashion with Palm Beach’s casual vibe?

How do you participate in fashion trends without feeling trend fatigue?

I always say: mix the fabulous with the familiar. Pair your statement Valentino skirt with a T-shirt. Wear your Chanel shift dress with flat sandals. Throw a ballgown skirt over a bikini (yes, really). In Palm Beach, glamour is expected, but it’s also sunshiny and playful. Balance matters—nothing should feel stiff. High fashion becomes more approachable when you disarm it with something easy. That’s the sweet spot.

Easy: don’t do all of them. Pick the ones that actually feel like you.

I dip in with one or two things each season—maybe a feathered sandal, maybe a color I wouldn’t normally wear. The rest I ignore. I’m not a slave to trends, and you shouldn’t be either. If something makes you roll your eyes, skip it. Personal style should feel timeless with a wink, not like a revolving door of micro-trends. Think of trends as spice, not the main course.

XO,

XO,
