Where Discovery Comes to Mind

The Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute is located on Florida Atlantic University’s John D. MacArthur Campus in Jupiter, which is a renowned hub for life science and biomedical research.

TRANSFORMING BRAIN DISEASE RESEARCH

New Center Accelerates Research on Neurodegenerative Diseases

Though scientists have known for decades that ultrasound waves can be used for medical purposes, recent technological advances have brought ultrasound to the forefront of medical innovation. Clinicians, engineers and researchers are now using MRI to guide focused ultrasound waves in the treatment of various brain disorders — including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, neuropathic pain and even brain cancer.

Florida Atlantic is part of this medical breakthrough, entering a new phase of its long-standing collaboration with Insightec, a pioneer in focused ultrasound. The two institutions have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to advance academic research in the area. Insightec will provide the ultrasound technology; Florida Atlantic will provide the MRI and clinical research. “Ultrasound has the potential to be a game changer. We’re incredibly excited to be partnering with Insightec,” said Gregg Fields, Ph.D., vice president for research, who will oversee clinical research for the Florida Atlantic/ Insightec collaboration. Fields is the principal investigator on a State of Florida grant that applies magnetic resonance-guided ultrasound to treat Alzheimer’s disease patients and develops approaches to monitor the effectiveness of ultrasound treatments using blood drawn from patients.

A burgeoning scientific understanding of the changes in the brain that drive neurodegenerative disorders — Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and others like them — suggests that the field is entering a new era, one that could bring new ways of interfering with their progression and one day eliminating them at their origins.

The University’s new David and Lynn Nicholson Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research at Florida Atlantic’s Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute is poised to help usher in these advancements. Established with a $2 million gift from philanthropist and wealth manager David J. S. Nicholson, the center brings together researchers and resources from across the University in a coordinated attempt to promote innovative research and education.

“We need new methods to diagnose patients earlier in the course of disease and new therapeutics to interfere with the mechanisms that drive it,” says Corinne I. Lasmézas, DVM, Ph.D., the center’s inaugural

director. “I believe we — the field and FAU — are ready to develop them.”

Much of this work is already well underway, according to Randy D. Blakely, Ph.D., executive director of the Brain Institute. He notes that faculty members across the University’s campuses, colleges and departments are already working on these conditions and related topics. Moreover, a significant number of doctoral trainees in the recently initiated Neuroscience Graduate Program are planning to pursue careers in neurodegenerative disease research, a welcome sign to the center’s newly recruited scientists.

“We have built up gained considerable momentum in this area in just a few years,” Blakely said. “This is why we need a center: To bring it all together and make the whole more than the sum of its parts.”

MobileMinds Program Expands Neuroscience Lessons to Broward County Schools ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Florida Atlantic’s Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute introduced its MobileMinds program to help close the Title I STEM gap in Palm Beach County schools by taking science and professional scientists directly to the middle and high schools that are falling behind in this area. A $400,000 gift from the Sharron and Joseph Ashby Hubert Fund of the Community Foundation of Broward included funding to expand MobileMinds south with a brand-new van and additional resources to reach more students than ever before. The Broward program will provide the same wide range of activities and opportunities as are currently available, including brain dissections, neuroscience themed crafts and educational games.

PALM BEACH CHIC

All of us have, at one time or another, seen the words “Palm Beach Chic” on the dress code line of event invitations. For those who have been here a long time, Palm Beach Chic is an instinct, like heading out of town when relative humidity hits 50 percent. For those who are newer to our fair island, it can be more complicated to navigate the sartorial landscape.

We often get questions from readers like “When is it okay to wear black?” and “Do I have to wear a hat to polo?” Oh, and one of my recent favorites: “Can I wear white after September?” All good questions for our advice columnist Liz Lange; look for the answers in a future “Dear Liz” column.

In the meantime, I’ll say this: Palm Beach style is not prescriptive; it’s an attitude. It’s effortless and comfortable, yet always appropriate; colorful but never gaudy; quality without the flash (Logos? No, thank you); and unapologetically whimsical. What’s really fun is that these unspoken rules apply equally to men and women.

EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK

This month, we bring back our popular “Palm Beach Dandies” feature with a vibrant twist. We’ve selected six local men—each with a different sartorial sensibility—and asked them to style a look around a single piece from the recently re-released Men’s Stuff collection from beloved Palm Beach brand Lilly Pulitzer. These guys had so much fun with the concept, and it shows in the pages. The ultimate tribute to the playful menswear comes from fashion titan Tommy Hilfiger, who looks sharp in his Lilly pants (and Hilfiger everything else) on our cover. Turn to “Palm Beach Dandies: Lilly Edition” on page 130 for the rest of the story.

Nods to Palm Beach style occur throughout our pages, from Kim Seybert’s ladies’ brunch (“Jewelry for the Table,” page 138) to spring fashion in the Kips Bay construction site (“Under Construction,” page 120) with lots and lots in-between. We’ve curated an eye-popping and entertaining issue for you, and I do hope you enjoy it.

Cheers,

Daphne Nikolopoulos daphne@palmbeachillustrated.com

FROM THE PUBLISHER

SEVENTYTHREE

This month, Palm Beach Illustrated celebrates 73 years. It’s a pretty major milestone. Interesting fact: there are no gemstones or flowers associated with a seventy-third anniversary. Fifty years? Golden. Get to 75 and they shower you with diamonds. Arrive at 73 and, well … hooray, 75 is just around the corner! It’s alright, we can be patient. Despite this longevity and our visibility across the Palm Beaches, folks are routinely surprised at how long PBI has been part of the landscape.

For those who have just discovered us, the question I often get is about the medium. “Magazines, huh? That must be a tough business.” Some days it can be, but the reality is that this market loves print. Pretty much every year over the last five or so, we’ve had new arrivals to the area—publishers looking to put their own spin on what Palm Beach is all about and where the market is headed. Competition to be sure, but you don’t get a vibrant neighborhood by building just one house, now do you?

The Palm Beaches represent an amazing corner of the world—one that folks are discovering for themselves every day. Those who have moved here since the pandemic are part of a growing segment that is now here yearround. The development of direct rapid transport options to Miami and Orlando has transformed West Palm Beach into a centralized location for businesses and families. We are now a magnet for investment and future growth. To the south, Boca Raton celebrates its centennial in 2025, as it continues to grow vertically now that its western expansion is complete.

As for the team here at PBI, we are embracing our new arrivals and looking to our long-term residents for wisdom and patience as we grow into our new environs. When I started working at this magazine, then in year 53, West Palm Beach was on the precipice of the expansion we are now experiencing. The timing and impact of the Great Recession put that growth on pause for a time, but now … the future is here.

Until the next one,

STYLE AND SUBSTANCE

West Palm Beacher Gaby Viteri has made it her mission to close the art world’s gender disparity—at least in the Palm Beaches—and launched the First Female collective in 2022 to empower women through art, creativity, and community. As part of its core mission, First Female is dedicated to providing opportunities for female artists to connect, share their stories, and expand their careers.

In honor of Women’s History Month, Viteri will host the first-ever First Female Women’s Art Week March 5-15. The 10-day celebration of local female artists like Hayley Sheldon and Cayla Birk will begin with VIP pre-events, followed by an official kickoff March 7 featuring an artist talk with Camilla Webster. Women’s Art Week will center around an all-female

photography exhibition that explores the theme of parallels and how the innate dualities of a woman’s life can shape experiences and fuel creative work. The week will also include such affiliated events as a creative women’s circle and a makers’ market with handmade works of art. Check the online calendar for more details.

Once owned by a European royal family, it oﬀers the wearer versatility as a necklace, choker, or brooch. “Due to the intricate design of such an important piece by the maison, you can feel the historical signiﬁcance just holding the necklace in your hands,” says Moradof.

3. Van Cleef & Arpels Ruby and Diamond Mystery Set Bracelet: Patented in 1933, the Mystery Set revolutionized the art of gemstone setting by introducing a technique that highlights the stones’ natural allure. Within this 1960s bracelet lies a custom system of delicate gold rails; each stone is individually inserted into these hidden settings. “Known as one of the most important collections in Van Cleef’s history, the Mystery Set stands the test of time,” says Moradof. “Elegant and seamless, this is for collectors who prize craftsmanship above all else.”

SMALL WONDER

Twelve-year-old Jupiter entrepreneur Alexa Ortega hasn’t let the challenges of Skraban-Deardorﬀ syndrome and autism stop her from turning her passion for jewelry into a business that gives back. In 2023, together with her mom, Gineen, she launched Tiny by Alexa, a beachy jewelry brand with 18-karat gold-plated pieces hand-selected or created by Alexa herself. While the name is “tiny”—which was Alexa’s ﬁrst word—her impact isn’t: she donates 5 percent of proceeds to support special education programs in Jupiter to help other kids like her. She hopes to expand the business to provide career paths for young adults with similar challenges. (tinybyalexa.com)

COMMUNITY

Palm Beach’s LIVING ROOM

The social calendar at The Colony is so busy, you might forget its main event is, well, a hotel. While all The Colony’s activations—from Lewis Miller Flower Flashes to weekly game nights—are instant hits, we’re partial to the Living Room Series, a communityfocused initiative presented in partnership with Whispering Angel and Palm Beach Illustrated. Every Wednesday evening through May, guests and locals alike are invited to ensconce themselves in The Colony’s lobby, drink in the beautiful detail of the custom de Gournay wall coverings (and, yes, a glass or three of rosé), and hear from tastemakers from Palm Beach and beyond. This season, guests include Mark Sikes, Tammy Fender, Deborah Koepper, and other personalities from the world of art, design, fashion, entertainment, and more. (thecolonypalmbeach.com) —S.S.

HOT SPOTS

MEET MARY LOU

If you begin to see a revolving door at Berto’s Bait & Tackle in West Palm Beach, it’s not because the in crowd has recently taken up an interest in fishing. The unassuming, quirkily round landmark has become the place to see and be seen as its transformation into a cocktail lounge and entertainment epicenter named Mary Lou’s is complete. And if the allure of a hedonistic bait-shop-turnedspeakeasy isn’t enough to turn even the most perfectly coiffed heads, Mary Lou’s has tapped music duos Sofi Tukker and The Chainsmokers to act as the venue’s creative entertainment directors. Hospitality innovators Joe Cervasio, Topher Grubb, and Alex Melillo are behind this newest addition to Palm Beach’s nightlife scene, with Melillo’s grandmother serving as the muse. In her heyday, Mary Lou Curtis was a New York fashion model who also owned a sizable portion of Worth Avenue. Her boutique, La Shack, was a household name—in households such as those of Jackie O and Betty White.

Designed by maximalist-friendly Volenec Studio, the indoor-outdoor bar and lounge blends Palm Beach past and present in an eccentric but sophisticated fever dream of sorts: ornate wood paneling, antique velvet drapery, a surrealist mural, atypical wildlife decor, unusual statues, and a “sense of ridiculousness.” Decadence, drama, and seduction are all on the menu.

The vision? To embody the playfulness, irreverence, and vivacity of Mary Lou herself, and to reimagine the lavish parties of 1970s and 1980s Palm Beach for a modern—but equally selective—audience. (marylouspb.com) —S.S.

BRAMAN AUTOMOTIVE MARKS 50 YEARS IN BUSINESS AND SETS ITS SIGHTS ON 50 MORE

BY JUDY ALEXANDRA DIEDWARDO

Norman Braman—the Philadelphia-born son of immigrants turned billionaire businessman—established his eponymous luxury auto company on Miami’s Biscayne Boulevard in 1975. Now the Braman Automotive group includes more than 20 dealerships across Miami and Palm Beach County that represent the world’s most prestigious brands, such as Porsche, BMW, Audi, Bentley, and Rolls-Royce. “Operating a business that bears your name creates a unique responsibility, even more so when you live in the community where you operate,” explains Norman, who now shares the helm of his automotive empire with grandsons Alex Shack and Brian Shack. “The experience we create for our customers is a reflection on me personally, and I’ve always believed that your name and reputation are the most important things—including how much money you have in the bank.” Norman’s leadership extends to philanthropy and community involvement. Alongside his wife, Irma, he has been integral in the creation of numerous initiatives, including the Braman Family Breast Cancer Institute and the Miami Beach Holocaust Memorial, as well as in bringing Art Basel to Miami Beach. PBI recently sat down with Norman and Brian to learn more. (braman.com)

PBI: Can you talk about the pride you have in your grandsons’ leadership to continue your legacy for the next 50 years?

Norman: They have the same set of values that I’ve always had with respect to putting reputation above all else. Both have proven themselves uniquely qualified and committed, and I couldn’t be more confident in them.

What does this milestone anniversary represent?

Brian: It’s a testament to what my grandfather built and his philosophy of treating customers as long-term relationships versus selling people cars. It’s a testament to our company’s culture about people and the communities that we serve.

What trends are you seeing in the luxury auto market?

Brian: At the level of acceleration, handling, and general driving performance that we have now, manufacturers look for different ways to distinguish themselves. There’s always been a focus on aesthetics, performance, comfort, and power, but now it’s also about entertainment and connectivity. In addition to the move toward electric vehicles, more noteworthy trends include manufacturers offering subscription services for features like navigation, entertainment, or even increased performance.

What is the next biggest innovation?

Brian: The most fundamental innovation continues to relate to how vehicles are powered. Manufacturers continue to improve battery electric and plug-in hybrid electric technology, but they’re also significantly improving fuel efficiency and emissions of traditional internal-combustion vehicles. They’re even putting serious dollars behind hydrogen power. Other exciting innovations include BMW’s new technology in the BMW iX Flow all-electric SUV that allows drivers to change the exterior color of the car, which is hard to even imagine. The pace of technological innovation in the industry is dizzying.

FLY FROM PBI

DISCOVER A NEW DESTINATION WITH EASE THANKS TO THESE FOUR (MOSTLY SEASONAL) DIRECT FLIGHTS FROM PALM BEACH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT GUIDE

BY SKYE SHERMAN

DENVER, COLORADO

Until March 29, you can hop aboard a seasonal United flight from PBI directly to Denver. The best part? Colorado’s high ski season extends through March, so you can hit the slopes around the Mile High City (the closest are about an hour drive) or make the trek to popular resort towns like Vail or Aspen. During this transitionary month between winter and spring, you can snowboard by day and then enjoy fairweather après-ski activities like catching a concert at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre. Consider shopping, dining, and staying at Denver Union Station, a historic renovated train station full of upscale establishments and a hotel.

ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI

MARSH HARBOUR, BAHAMAS

What would Jimmy Buffett do when the going gets tough? Probably hop on an hour-and-a-half flight to Marsh Harbour. While BahamasAir flights from PBI’s commercial terminal are always an option, flying semi-private with Tropic Ocean Airways out of Atlantic Aviation is worth the semi-splurge. There’s Bahamian blues and bright sunshine aplenty in Marsh Harbour, but for maximum laid-back island chill, consider taking Albury’s Ferry to an Out Island like Hope Town. Rent a golf cart and stay at the boutique eight-suite Elbow Reef property.

The Gateway to the West awaits in St. Louis. A seasonal route on Southwest Airlines is offered only during March and early April thanks to the Cardinals’ spring training schedule at Jupiter’s Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium. Catch a baseball game here then take a three-hour flight there to hit highlights like the 630-foot-tall Gateway Arch, the artistbuilt City Museum, and the St. Louis Zoo. And since no visit is complete without trying toasted ravioli and a square St. Louis–style cracker-crust pizza, grab dinner at any Imo’s Pizza location before you return.

TORONTO, CANADA

Leaving the country on a straight shot out of PBI is easier than you think. You can fly to Toronto on Porter Airlines (through April 22) or Air Canada (through April 30). Three short hours and you’ll be touching down in The Six (a nickname inspired by the city’s six primary area codes), where you can ascend the CN Tower, tour the majestic Casa Loma castle-mansion, or even take a day trip to Niagara Falls aboard the special Go Train. Dig into a hearty dish of poutine before you depart—and bring home a box of Timbits from Tim Hortons for the full Canadian experience.

CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT

THE REIGNING MISS PALM BEACH USA IS POISED TO COMPETE FOR THE STATEWIDE TITLE AND ADVOCATE FOR THE ARTS ALONG THE WAY

BY NILA DO SIMON

Her dream started on a stage. And if Gracie Gaylord has anything to do with it, it’ll take flight there as well.

Long before Gaylord earned the Miss Palm Beach USA 2025 title last fall, the entrepreneur and arts advocate fell in love with the Broadway stage. The first musical she saw in New York City, Wicked, left an immense impression. The lights, music, costumes, choreography—Gaylord thought the entire production was the pinnacle of performance.

“It was just so special, and I was just wowed,” she says. “I think that’s the beauty of the arts: they can wow you.”

Little did she know that another stage just as large would be her platform a few years later. As Miss Palm Beach USA, Gaylord will represent the region in the statewide pageant in Orlando May 23-25. The winner will go on to compete for the Miss USA and Miss Universe titles. Within her role as Miss Palm Beach USA, she has chosen “preservation of the arts” as her platform, to include protecting, sustaining, and promoting artistic traditions, institutions, and practices across various disciplines.

Raised outside of Seattle in Gig Harbor, Washington, Gaylord developed a burgeoning affinity for the arts at a young age. She played piano, danced ballet and ballroom, and enjoyed watching live performances. But Gaylord admits something was missing: accessibility.

“I grew up in a pretty rural region,” she says. “There were some museums, but nothing like what we have in Palm Beach. And as soon as I came to Palm Beach, it rekindled [my] love of the arts.”

Gaylord moved to Palm Beach in 2023 after becoming enamored with the destination and its arts offerings (including the Norton Museum of Art, the Palm Beach Symphony, and The Society of the Four Arts) during her travels. “Those groups reshaped me,

bringing me back into a childlike experience,” she says. “Sure, there are beautiful aspects of the city—the beach, the sunshine—but the cultural options in Palm Beach have helped shape me into the person I am.”

Come May, all eyes will be on the 22-year-old as she takes the stage at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. Gaylord says she’s never wanted anything more. “I’m really committed to representing Palm Beach at the highest level. I want to leave a legacy of inspiration and action. I want people to remember me as someone who celebrated the community and its beauty, and who left a trail of preserving the arts.” «

“ I GREW UP IN A PRETTY RURAL REGION. THERE WERE SOME MUSEUMS, BUT NOTHING LIKE WHAT WE HAVE IN PALM BEACH.”

DISSECTING THE HISTORY AND HUES OF RARE RUBIES AND SAPPHIRES

BY KATHERINE VAN DELL AND SEBASTIAN CLARKE

The world’s ﬁnest gemstones have been sought-after, fought over, and cherished for all human history. To this day, most gems are discovered in alluvial deposits—the sedimentary beds, banks, and coastlines of oceans, ﬂooded basins, rivers, and streams that over time (a lot of time) carve out geologic formations and, occasionally, transport valuable treasures along their watery paths.

In 1881, in the high altitude of the Himalayas’ Zanskar region, a natural tremor caused an otherwise unremarkable landslide that would reveal a pocket of uniquely blue corundum crystals. Discovered by a villager tending goats, the gemstones became highly prized for their velvety-blue hue, a characteristic partially attributed to the rutile needle–like inclusions, or “silk,” typical of Kashmir sapphires. The Maharaja of Kashmir purchased the mine, reserving the stones exclusively for Indian royalty.

The “old mine” would be depleted within ﬁve years. Attempts to further excavate the

area were made nearly impossible by treacherous terrain, a brief summer season, and periods of political unrest. The Kashmir sapphires available now are typically recycled and reset from the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. They continue to be incredibly prized not just for their saturated color and velvety appearance but perhaps more so for their folkloric rarity.

Today, sapphires are mined in several countries, including India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar (formerly Burma), Madagascar, Thailand, and Australia. Sapphires from the regions of Kashmir, Myanmar, and Ceylon tend to achieve the highest prices, in that order. Ceylon sapphires are generally known for their vibrancy. Burmese sapphires can have a kind of electric “royal blue” somehow brighter and livelier than the luxuriously “sleepy blue” of Kashmir sapphires—the ﬁnest of which are referred to as “peacock’s neck” blue.

This same kind of terminology (if not slightly more cringeworthy) is thrown around

when discussing rubies. The ﬁnest rubies are often said to have a “pigeon’s blood” color—an illuminated stoplight-like true red; this description almost goes hand in hand with the inference that the stone originated in Myanmar. “Rabbit’s blood” generally describes rubies from Thailand, which tend to be slightly more purplish-red. While many of these mines are relatively close geographically, their output and viability are wildly different. This is mostly due to political unrest and stringent trade embargoes that make largescale mining impossible and, in turn, make for rubies that are extremely rare and valuable.

Whether you are discussing the rubies of Mogok or the sapphires of Kashmir, as global deposits wane or are eliminated, fewer large high-quality gems are produced, resulting in steep prices for those of a certain caliber, especially those over 5 carats. The common thread remains that these magniﬁcent natural anomalies are proportionately valued in relation to their inherent beauty and difﬁculty to acquire.

Because of the potentially vast difference in value based on a stone’s origin, it is important to work with a trusted source when purchasing colored stones. Furthermore, ask for certiﬁcations from one or more credible laboratories, which can examine trace elements and telltale markers that designate a stone’s beginnings and are essential in determining their ultimate value. «

The Women Behind Hanley’s Recovery Revolution

The Palm Beaches have long been home to visionary leaders, and now, a powerhouse group of influential women is championing The Hanley Foundation’s $35 million Campaign for Recovery. This bold capital campaign will revolutionize the treatment of substance use and behavioral and mental health disorders, paving the way for innovative therapies and expanded lifechanging programs. In this exclusive Q&A, the “Women of the Recovery Revolution” explain their motivations and determination to strengthen Hanley’s impact.

What inspired you to get involved in Hanley’s Campaign for Recovery?

THE HONORABLE

DANIELLE HICKOX MOORE

I stand proudly behind the Campaign for Recovery, knowing that it’s essential to build a future where the disease of addiction is met with compassion and understanding. Supporting a true nonprofit like Hanley ensures that every dollar is invested in programs that create lasting change and uplift our community.

LIZA PULITZER CALHOUN

Addiction is a family disease, and for me, it’s personal. I’ve seen its impact on my own loved ones. Hanley’s unwavering dedication is transforming lives and offering hope and healing to everyone facing challenges like mine.

Why is specialized care essential for pregnant women, veterans, and first responders struggling with addiction?

ELIZABETH MATTHEWS

Hanley Foundation recognizes that recovery is a unique experience for each person. Programs like Casa Flores, helping pregnant women with substance use disorders, and the Patriots Program for veterans and first responders, ensure that care is accessible and tailored to make a lasting impact.

STACY MANDEL PALAGYE

There is a stigma attached to pregnant women suffering from substance use disorder, and I want to take that

stigma away. Casa Flores will break the generational cycle of addiction, giving mothers and their babies hope for a brighter, healthier future.

AGGIE STOOPS

Supporting Casa Flores creates a ripple effect. By providing housing, education, job training, and early learning for their children, we can empower these moms not only to recover but to thrive.

DEE-DEE HARRIS

For many veterans and first responders, substance use is a way of coping with deep, unseen wounds. The Patriots Program provides a safe space for them to confront their unique trauma and receive care from experts who understand their specific challenges.

How are you addressing the surge in mental health crises since the pandemic?

DR. RACHEL DOCEKAL

Healing goes beyond addiction. It’s about restoring mind, body, and spirit. Yet, in Palm Beach County, too many struggle with mental health challenges and have nowhere to turn. With ten beds, Hanley is stepping up to fill this gap, and with the Campaign for Recovery, we can expand access and provide help to more individuals in need.

THE RECOVERY REVOLUTION IS ABOUT PEOPLE, INSPIRATION, AND DRIVE.

The Campaign for Recovery is a $35 million commitment to those in need now and in the future. As Chair, I invite you to help turn this vision into reality. Scan the QR code to join us in creating hope and leading change together.

Who is your greatest muse?

My grandmother was my earliest style icon and inspiration for the brand. She wore Pucci dresses, orchids in her hair, and straw handbags.

When did your love of accessories begin?

At a very young age. I grew up during the time of the It bag, so I was always very mindful of accessories and the ability of a bag or belt or piece of jewelry to make an outfit. One of my first corporate jobs was working for Chanel in their accessories division. For a bag girl, that was my dream job and solidified an enduring appreciation for timeless design and craftsmanship.

Where do you draw inspiration from?

Palm Beach is endlessly inspiring and quite arguably one of the most beautiful places to live and work. The architecture, the palms and ocean, the chic women, it’s been fascinating to observe. I love seeing how women dress here. It’s a different style than New York.

What’s your favorite bag for spring?

Our Lee bag. Inspired by Lee Radziwill, our new framed straw bag with a bamboo handle is where island sensibility meets uptown girl. I love it for a polished everyday bag that looks great into the evening. We also designed a new pearl kiss lock closure. I love incorporating pearls into our designs; they are a classic design icon and illuminate your face and outfit.

What’s on your spring shopping list?

Since our move to Florida, I feel like I need a new wardrobe. It’s a different way of dressing—an elegance and ease that I love. Our

ANTARCTICA BECKONS

TRAVEL TO THE LAST GREAT WILDERNESS WITH LINDBLAD EXPEDITIONS

BY CHRIS DONG

Few places on Earth are as cold, dry, and windy as Antarctica, yet the White Continent beckons travelers to visit—and it wins them over year after year. During the 2023-

24 season (which lasts from November to March), nearly 80,000 people stepped foot on Antarctica’s shores, more than double the number from a decade ago.

Traveling to this otherworldly frontier has become a quintessential rite of passage for anyone with an adventurous spirit—myself included. Despite 5.5 million square miles of

ice-covered land, with conditions often inhospitable to human life, once you’re in Antarctica, it’s a no-brainer why one would come here.

On my journey with Lindblad Expeditions, we witnessed the majesty of snow-and-iceencrusted mountains and the oh-so-cute waddle of Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins. We cruised on Zodiacs around jagged icebergs and gently greeted half-asleep Weddell seals. We hiked along ridges to scenic overlooks and polar plunged into freezing waters. (The latter was a personal highlight, but as with all activities, it’s fully optional.)

Lindblad Expeditions is one of the travel pioneers—if not the pioneer—of tourism

to the continent. In 1966, the late Lars-Eric Lindblad led the first nonscientific journey to Antarctica. More than a half-century later, his son, Sven-Olof, continues the family legacy. The company now has thousands of trips under its belt.

All the company’s Antarctica voyages are true expeditions, meaning ports of call largely depend on the conditions of the day. The onboard team works around the clock to determine excursion plans, and as a guest, a true adventurous (and laid-back) spirit is required.

While you might have to roll with whatever is offered, those offerings rarely disappoint. Activities include everything from sea kayaking and paddleboarding to penguin colony visits and immersive historical encounters.

However, what makes Lindblad even more unique is the opportunity to experience the so-called last great wilderness in the presence of top naturalists, expedition leaders, and a veteran polar captain. An official National Geographic photographer is also part of the expedition team, offering tips at the deck rail and engaging stories during presentations in the lounge.

“On these Antarctic cruises, you elevate the sense of reverence to nature, and it’s our goal to get everyone to be in sync and bonded to the outdoors,” says Sven-Olof Lindblad.

148-passenger National Geographic Explorer, provided comfort, elegance, and a deepseated connection with the environment.

Explorer is a true purpose-built expedition vessel, with an ice-reinforced hull that enables her to navigate polar passages.

The ship is particularly suited for those looking to spot wildlife and the surrounding landscapes. An observation lounge and library on the upper deck provide panoramic views from floor-to-ceiling windows. My morning ritual included coffee and a pair of binoculars, relaxing back in a chair, and watching the birds glide past overhead. (Not to mention plenty of penguin sightings.)

Onboard the Explorer, like with other Lindblad ships, there is an open-bridge policy, meaning guests can venture onto the ship’s bridge anytime to chat with the officers on duty. It’s extremely immersive—think of it as an unrestricted invitation to participate in the navigation process firsthand.

Ultr a-luxury players in Antarctica, such as Ponant or Silversea, might have more onboard bells and whistles, like Bulgari toiletries or unlimited caviar. But Explorer—and indeed, Lindblad Expeditions generally— achieves an ideal balance between premium amenities and rugged, one-of-a-kind enrichment programs.

“We’ll go out of our way to make the guest experience better and even interrupt a meal service so we can have our naturalists point out whales moving beside our ship,” Lindblad says.

That’s exactly what happened onboard Explorer, as the ship diverted off course to catch

glimpses of migrating wildlife and dramatic, pinnacle-shaped icebergs. It was an exciting feeling, being in this remote section of the planet, in hot (and respectful) pursuit of nature’s awesomeness.

GETTING THERE

It’s becoming easier than ever to see this expansive and ethereal continent. Lindblad Expeditions recently became the latest company to launch an “air-cruise” program, cutting travel time by as much as four days overall.

These new itineraries allow travelers to fly across the Drake Passage (the notorious 600-mile stretch of open water between the southern tip of South America and Antarc-

tica’s South Shetland Islands). With nonstop air access, the journey goes from two days at sea to only two hours by air per direction, all while skipping the Drake’s potentially tempestuous conditions.

Guests can elect to skip the Drake Passage entirely by flying in both directions between southern Chile and the gravel runway of Antarctica’s King George Island—before and after their Lindblad sailing. Other folks may opt to cruise across the Drake in one direction and board a plane in the other, as I did.

Before this inaugural air-cruise sailing in November, Lindblad and his team had been brainstorming ways to fly travelers to the continent for more than a decade. However,

Activities include observing wildlife from the waters and cross-country skiing across the snow-covered tundra of Cape Renaud.

until recently, a significant portion of flights were canceled or delayed due to the logistical complexity of such itineraries.

Over the last several years, other companies have introduced a fly-over-the-Drake endeavor, such as Antarctica21 and Quark Expedi-

tions. However, Lindblad’s executives say the infrastructure wasn’t fully ready—until now.

The company has partnered with a Chilean airline, Aerovías DAP, to charter passenger flights to the largest of Antarctica’s South Shetland Islands. Additionally, Lindblad is the only expedition operator offering flights in and out of the charming Chilean town of Puerto Natales, whereas most other flights to Antarctica operate out of Punta Are-

nas. Puerto Natales is considered the gateway to Torres del Paine National Park, allowing folks to couple their Antarctic journey with trips to the park for hikes.

For me, it was about a reverence for natural phenomena that can only come with a trip to the seventh continent—and now, it’s easier than ever. Lindblad provides eight-, nine-, and 10-day trip options that offer a mix of sailing and flying to the White Continent—all onboard the National Geographic Explorer (expeditions.com) «

SEA ISLANDS ESCAPE

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH HISTORY, NATURE, OUTDOOR RECREATION, AND LUXURY ON AMELIA ISLAND

BY CATHY CHESTNUT

History buffs know they will be rewarded with fresh insights during a visit to St. Augustine or Key West—and the same is true for Amelia Island on Florida’s northeastern coast.

The 13-mile-long, dune-embraced barrier island is the southernmost of the Sea Islands, a chain of 100-plus islands stretching from South Carolina to Florida. Amelia Island has endured under eight flags since 1562, but in more modern times has enjoyed its status as a nature lover’s destination alongside its venerable locales.

With many options for savoring this island getaway, guests at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island have the luxury of customizing their ideal vacation in a sumptuous environment

overlooking dunes and the rolling Atlantic Ocean beyond.

Craft a trip around the 18-hole championship Golf Club of Amelia Island along with personalized instruction at The Academy. If that is not your speed, how about competition on the tennis or pickleball courts, a revitalizing spa treatment, or a wellness retreat that includes yoga and guided meditation sessions? Before embarking on an adult activity, check the little ones into the award-winning Ritz Kids Club for hands-on activities centered on environmental and cultural themes.

The resort concierge can book local adventures such as a horseback ride along the Atlantic, biologist-led dolphin cruise, customized tour of Cumberland Island National Seashore

(renowned for its wild horses and Carnegie estates), or bike tour.

Upgrade your stay with access to The Ritz-Carlton Club Level, a “hotel within a hotel” where guests drop in for breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffet fare, as well as drinks, snacks, hors d’oeuvres, and desserts. Adult beverages include local beers, wines and sparkling wines, spirits, morning mimosas, and evening cordials. The elevated Club Level experience extends to concierge service for packed lunches and bottled cocktails delivered to your beach lounge.

In addition, there are six on-property dining spots open to all guests. In January, Salt, the resort’s AAA Five Diamond restaurant, debuted refreshed, coastal-inspired interiors with an elevated, French-influenced menu helmed by Michelin-trained chef Okan Kizilbayir.

Striking out on your own, there are plenty of sightseeing and hiking, biking, and kayaking hot spots. Take in well-preserved antebellum- and Victorian-era estates, inns, churches, and government institutions built in several architectural styles on a driving tour. Fernandina Beach, settled in 1790, boasts a charming downtown and Florida’s oldest bar (the circa-1903 Palace Saloon). The 1,400-acre Fort Clinch State Park at the island’s northern tip is home to a Civil War fort and lighthouse, maritime hammocks, wildlife, and trails.

Or you can simply stroll the shoreline remembering that someone famous once noted that: “At the beach, time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted.” (ritzcarlton.com) «

CLOCKWORK ORANGE

MCLAREN’S NEW DROP-TOP ARTURA SPIDER BOASTS PLUG-IN HYBRID V6 TURBO POWER FOR TRUE DRIVING EXCITEMENT

BY HOWARD WALKER

A big round of applause for Britain’s McLaren Racing. If you follow the cut and thrust of Formula 1, you’re aware that the team won the coveted Constructors’ Championship at the end of last season. The last time this happened was 26 years ago.

Right now, I’m seeing a wave of orange mist

(orange is to McLaren what red is to Ferrari) waft over me as I settle in behind the wheel of this newly minted 2025 Artura Spider hybrid supercar, painted in a retina-searing shade called McLaren Orange. And while this Artura Spider represents the first rung on the McLaren road-car ladder—not that something costing $278,800, or $344,718 very nicely loaded, could ever be classified as entry-level—it feels every bit the road-going Formula 1 car that it is.

No, it’s not the fastest or most potent McLaren you can buy. That honor goes to the rolling insanity that is the brand-new W1, with its 1,258 horsepower, 217-mph top speed, and $2.1 million price tag. But to us mere mortals who don’t drive with a full-face helmet and a Nomex race suit, it’s how we imagine a F1 car to be.

It certainly has the power. Mid-mounted behind the cockpit is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 nuclear reactor juiced, in hybrid fashion, by a

torque-rich electric motor. Combined they deliver a mighty 690 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque. SpaceX rockets make do with less.

It has the performance too, boasting standstill-to-60-mph sprints in 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 205 mph. And with the car’s 7.4-kWh battery fully charged, it’ll go for 11 miles on zero-emission electric power. Perfect for not annoying the neighbors when you sneak out in the wee hours.

But there’s another “11” that’s just as noteworthy: the 11 seconds it takes for the Spider’s one-piece glass roof to glide backwards and tuck beneath a rear-hinged carbon-fiber cover. Splash an extra $9,400 to get the must-have electrochromic glass that, at the touch of a button, goes from clear to opaque in an instant.

Like McLaren F1 superstar Lando Norris’ weekend driver, the Artura’s cockpit is allbusiness, no nonsense. It has acres of coalblack Alcantara suede and black carbon fiber.

JOURNEYS

Only slender ribbons of bright orange piping break up the Darth Vader look.

Slip behind the pool noodle–thick wheel and into seats that embrace you like a John Cena body lock. Press the big orange start button, hit D for drive, and ease away.

Instantly you’re aware of the car’s incredible lightness. Attribute that to the Artura’s I-beam-stiff carbonfiber monocoque that incorporates much of the black art that goes into Norris’ F1 racer.

INCHES WEIGHT: 3,212 POUNDS WHY WE LOVE IT: BECAUSE BEING ABLE TO DROP THE TOP ON THIS MAGICAL HYBRID MCLAREN ONLY ADDS TO THE THRILLS.

Now floor the gas, feel the tumultuous forward thrust, and try not to scream too many expletives. Yes, the off-the-line acceleration is mind-altering, but arguably it’s the mid-range thrust that thrills the most. Lunging out of a freeway on-ramp or blasting past slower traffic on a backcountry two-lane? Insane.

And, oh the noise. Admittedly it’s not as

soulful as McLaren’s V8-powered rocket ships. But as the V6 spins toward its 8,200-rpm redline, there’s a deep, urgent, intense howl made even more exhilarating by having the top down and windows lowered.

Find yourself a tight curve or two and you’ll discover the sheer brilliance of the McLaren’s steering. It’s old-school hydraulic-assist rather than modern-day electric. But the astonishing level of feedback, perfect weighting, and laser-sharp precision are, undoubtedly,

this car’s greatest attributes.

Yet the genius of this new Spider is just how easy it is to drive. Hit the comfort setting and it can glide around town, usually in electric mode, with a ride that’s as smooth as a Lexus. And for a hip-high supercar, all-round visibility is impressive.

While this Spider costs $24,700 more than the fixed-roof Artura coupe, it’s worth every penny. It just may be my favorite McLaren. I’ll take mine in orange, please. «

TOY STORY

COMBINE CLASSIC DOWN EAST STYLE WITH ITALIAN FLAIR AND YOU GET TOY MARINE’S TOY 36 CRUISER

BY HOWARD WALKER

As that well-known Chinese philosopher and inﬂuencer Confucius once said: “Life’s too short to own an ugly boat.” Stroll around any boat show these days, and you’re confronted by throngs of Maytag-white angry appliances with all the beauty of a Dustbuster.

Then your eyes will meet a Toy 36, and your heart will melt. This achingly gorgeous 36-foot weekender from Toy Marine has those simple, sweeping lines of a classic Maine lobster boat perfected by the likes of Hinckley, Back Cove, and Sabre.

Based in Savona, Italy, Toy Marine was founded in 2002 and has long been a favorite of European boaters. They’re the head-turners of choice in Italian dolce vita hot spots like Portoﬁno, Capri, and Porto Cervo.

Not so much here in the United States. But that’s changing, thanks to entrepreneur James Knight whose Connecticut-based JK Yachts operation has taken on the task of importing Toy boats into North America.

What’s the appeal? Looks, obviously. Italian studio Nauta Design gave this 36-footer a more modern take on the salty Down East style, with a sweeping deep-V hull, wave-cleaving bow, and rakish superstructure

with a curvy, low-proﬁle hardtop.

“What’s so appealing about the 36 is its simplicity and lack of maintenance,” says Knight. “It is very much an analog boat that lets owners spend more time on the water and less on constant upkeep.”

Add to that, price. With a base sticker of around $700,000, it’s a fraction of the cost of a comparable Hinckley Picnic Boat. Yes, it shows with the lack of glossy, high-luxe ﬁxtures and ﬁttings in the cockpit and down below. But that’s all in line with its “keep it simple, stupid” ethos.

JOURNEYS

The simplicity continues with its powertrain of choice. Easy-to-maintain twin Yanmar 6-cylinder turbo diesels with straight shafts are tucked under the cockpit sun pads. While the base engines offer 320 hp, Knight says most buyers are opting for the 370-hp versions that produce a 35knot top speed, compared with 30. That makes for better peace of mind when attempting to get home after the weather turns sour.

POWER FILE

PRICE: FROM $700,000 LENGTH:

38 FEET OVERALL BEAM: 12 FEET, 5 INCHES DRAFT: 2 FEET, 9 INCHES

POWER: 2 X 320-HP YANMAR

TURBO DIESELS TOP SPEED: 30

KNOTS RANGE: 300 NAUTICAL MILES WHY WE LOVE IT: BECAUSE IT HAS ALL THE STYLE OF A HINCKLEY AT A FRACTION OF THE PRICE.

New for the Toy 36 is the option of outboard power, which is expected to be the motivation of choice for Florida buyers. Twin Mercury Verado 400 V10s should give a 40-knot top speed, though twin 300-hp Yamahas are said to give an equally zippy 38 knots. Seems the hull is designed for comfort and stability rather than high speed.

The only other choice is whether to go with the standard coupe model or the flybridge version. For me, the lack of space up top—with just a simple two-seat bench and an unfriendly ladder to get there—reduces the appeal of the 36 Fly.

Step aboard via the teak-decked swim platform and access the cockpit through the center transom door. The boat’s 12-foot, 5-inch beam makes for a generously sized area, which is dominated by those wide sun pads on either side. One benefit of opting for outboards is the engine boxes

can be replaced with an L-shaped sofa and dining table.

There’s no shortage of headroom under that hardtop, and those big windows deliver terrific all-round visibility. The helm is simple, with lots of plain white glass fiber and twin Simrad screens. Close by is a basic galley and dinette opposite.

Down below there’s a V-berth cabin in the bow, a “wet” head with a shower, and a sofa that converts to a double. It’s all pretty basic, though the factory can customize with whatever features a buyer’s heart desires.

Yet even in its most basic form, this is one classy cruiser guaranteed to get you to the Bahamas and back safely, all while spinning heads at any local watering hole. I’m sure Confucius would have approved. «

THE PEGGY ADAMS ANIMAL RESCUE LEAGUE CELEBRATES A CENTURY OF MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF ANIMALS, THANKS IN PART TO THE LOCALS WHO SUPPORT ITS MISSION

BY PAIGE BOWERS

PHOTOGRAPHY BY NICK MELE

In 1924, a group of Palm Beach women gathered to discuss how to help the growing number of animals that had been abandoned by winter residents who had returned north. Following a published appeal for funds, several locals donated to help these forgotten four-legged friends. But there was always the sense that more needed to be done, and in a more organized way.

After incorporating in 1925, the Animal Rescue League began as a humble operation that Palm Beachers could join for $1 a year. But things took off in 1989, when Charles Norton Adams made a significant donation in memory of his animal-loving wife, Peggy. Since then, the nonprofit has been known as the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League.

The league now serves more than 35,000 animals a year in Palm Beach County and has earned a four-star rating from Charity Navigator for its work. Its campus includes the Jane and Robert Grace Pavilion, which has a state-ofthe-art pet resource center and center for veterinary care; the Lesly S. Smith Pet Adoption Center; the Berman Memorial Pet Gardens and Columbarium; the Raber Training Pavilion; and a bone-shaped lake with a walking path.

None of this would have been possible without the community’s support, says CEO Sue Berry, adding that “as we embark on the next chapter of our journey, we are excited to build upon our rich legacy and continue our mission with renewed energy and passion.”

With supporters like these, there’s no doubt that another remarkable century lies ahead. (peggyadams.org)

PAULINE PITT

Pauline Pitt’s passion for pooches began with dachshunds, she says.

(She has always had one of the lively low-slung pups at her side.) But Pitt explains that serving on the Peggy Adams board of directors for 14 years

has brought many new animals into her life.

“If you sit on the board like I do and you read the mission statement about an animal that has been through the ringer, your heart goes out to them,” says

Pitt, who is chairman of the board and has adopted six dogs and a cat from the league.

In 2024, Pitt chaired Peggy Adams’ fifty-third annual Christmas Ball, which raised more than $2 million to support the

nonprofit’s programs and services.

“Seven days a week, all year long,” she says.

“No matter what, our volunteers are there and are finding homes for unwanted dogs and cats. It’s just so wonderful.”

Pitt was photographed with her dogs Bean, Rosie, and Birdie. Birdie is a Peggy Adams rescue.

CONNIE LACAILLADE

Lacaillade was photographed with her dog, Henry, and Bean, a 2-monthold Catahoula Leopard Dog mix, who has been adopted.

While living in Boston with her husband, Peter, Connie Lacaillade says she supported a lot of animal rescue organizations in the area, among them the Animal Rescue League of Boston, which honored her with a Champion for Animals award in 2019.

Lacaillade notes that while she was working with these organizations, she learned that only about 3 percent of charitable donations in the United States support animal welfare. “It was shocking to me,” she says, “and why I wanted to put my energies into this important work.”

When Lacaillade moved to Florida 15 years ago, she poured more of her energies into local animal welfare organizations. She became a fervent supporter of Peggy Adams events and joined its board of directors two years ago.

“It’s great to be part of an organization with so many interesting, kind, and like-minded people who are dedicated to helping the animals of Palm Beach County and beyond,” says Lacaillade.

JAMES BERWIND & KEVIN CLARK

Berwind and Clark were photographed with their dogs Brio, Scout, and Finn, all adopted from Peggy Adams.

When James Berwind was a little boy, he and his sister stood outside of a pet store ogling a cute little puppy that they begged their mother to buy.

“My mother said, ‘We never buy, we go to the ASPCA [American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals],’” he recalls. “That was the ﬁrst time I heard about animals not having homes.”

The memory stayed with Berwind, who says he has “never not rescued when

we’ve gotten a pet.” As soon as he and his husband, Kevin Clark, moved to Palm Beach in 2007, they became fervent Peggy Adams supporters. One of Berwind’s favorite programs at the rescue is Safety Net, which helps struggling local families care for their pets.

“I’m big on helping to keep pets with the owners for the pet’s sake and for the owner’s sake,” he says. “A lot of these pets may be the only family these people have.”

Pfeifler was photographed with Kafka, a 2-month-old domestic shorthair kitten. Kafka and siblings Reno, Kikoru, and Mina have all been adopted.

Emilia Fanjul Pfeifler grew up surrounded by animals on her family’s farm, but some of her fondest memories involve visiting the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League with her mother.

After moving back to Palm Beach with her husband, Brian, and their children in 2019, Pfeifler joined the Peggy Adams board in 2020. One of the ways she and her daughters are making a mark is by fostering many of the league’s kittens.

“In the last two years, we’ve fostered 30 kittens,” Pfeifler says. “They come two to three in a litter and have varying degrees of issues sometimes, so we take care of them when they come in and have been checked and had their shots. Once they get to two pounds, they go back to Peggy Adams, where they can be neutered and adopted.”

STEPHANIE BOOTH SHAFRAN

Shafran was photographed with Diana, a 3-year-old Black Mouth Cur mix, who has been adopted.

Stephanie Booth Shafran knows that an animal’s well-being is dependent on its owner. That’s why it has always been important to her to advocate for animals that can’t speak for themselves.

“All they want is to be cared for and loved,” she says. “It is a privilege to be able to do that.”

After moving to Palm Beach four years ago, Shafran joined the Peggy Adams board of directors in 2022. Shafran has been among those ensuring that dogs are fostered during hurricanes and adopted by good families.

“We come across a lot of heart-wrenching stories, so we definitely try to jump in and help,” she says. “I’m so impressed with how professional and effective this organization is, whether it’s providing medical care to dogs in the community, running food drives, offering behavioral classes, or helping people keep their dogs. That, combined with the facilities and good adoption rate, is quite remarkable and impressive.”

JOANIE VAN DER GRIFT

Van der Grift was photographed with her dogs Leo, Teddy, Janie, and Rosie. Janie and Rosie are Peggy Adams rescues.

When Peggy Adams board chairman emerita Jane Grace asked Joanie Van der Grift to join the board of directors in 2000, there was no saying no.

“She knew I loved dogs and animals,” Van der Grift says. “She also knew I was passionate about adopting and fostering.”

How passionate? Van der Grift flew to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina ravaged the city in August 2005 and returned to Palm Beach with a commercial plane full of homeless pets. One was Pete the Poodle, who became a beloved member of Van der Grift’s family. Other adoptions followed—a bichon that was part of a puppy mill case, and two Havanese mixes whose owner passed away. Now Van der Grift is president of the Peggy Adams board of directors, which allows her to help even more creatures.

“It’s a wonderful organization that does so much,” she says. “I feel honored and fortunate to be part of it in my own small way.”

DANIELLE MOORE & LESLY SMITH

Moore was photographed with Sunshine, a 1-year-old red heeler/ hound mix. Smith was photographed with Sport, a 2-year-old terrier mix. Both have been adopted.

Lesly Smith has been involved with Peggy Adams since the 1960s, when it was merely known as the Animal Rescue League. One of the first dogs Smith adopted from the organization was a “ratty little thing named Stormy that was with us for 14 years.”

Because of Smith’s involvement, her daughter, Palm Beach Mayor Danielle Moore, developed a passion for adopting animals and supporting the rescue too.

On April 1, 2021, Peggy Adams opened its Lesly S. Smith Pet Adoption Center, which provides a stress-free environment for pets to connect with their prospective families, adoption counseling, and a weather-friendly space where pets can play and receive behavioral training.

“We have such a wonderful staff that are all dedicated to the animals,” Smith says. “And [we’re] able to help other rescues get through the hurricane season by taking in their rescues until they can get up and running again.” «

KyleLu s

A relatively new addition to the Palm Beach art scene, portrait artist Kyle Lucks has come out of the gates swinging. While multifaceted in his approach, he specializes in portraying cultural icons and athletes, to include works involving equestrian sports. Case in point: check out his commissioned horse paintings done on silk Hermès scarves. He has also partnered with the United States Polo Association (USPA) to put his paintings on tote bags sold in the USPA Shop at the National Polo Center in Wellington. Currently, he is the artist in residence for the Historical Society of Palm Beach County’s “Wish You Were Here: Tourism in the Palm Beaches” exhibition.

Personal style: Smart casual, with an emphasis on high-quality, tailored pieces that I can easily mix and match. In his closet: There’s a bit of a Clark Kent/Superman thing going on. My painting uniform during the day is a black T-shirt and pants covered in acrylic, then I do a complete 180 and throw on loafers and a sport coat for Palm Beach. Collects: Shoes! It’s hard for me to pass up a unique pair, even if they are totally impractical or uncomfortable. Eyeing from Lilly’s Men’s Stuff: I’m most excited about the blazer, since I wear a jacket to so many events. For more casual occasions, I am digging the stretch pants, paired with an untucked white seersucker shirt and rolled-up sleeves. Oldest item he owns: I wear a backwards hat when I paint, and my rule is it has to rep my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. I still have my first black STL hat from my early 20s His definition of Palm Beach style: Sophisticated, well-tailored outfits and lots of white pants. Palm Beach is a unique spot where men can dress confidently with bold colors and prints and fit right in.

Nk M e

With frequent parallels drawn to Slim Aarons, photographer Nick Mele has become a household name in the 33480. Wellpracticed in everything from portraiture to interiors, fashion to lifestyle, Mele has arrived at a style all his own—one that captures the wit, whimsy, and luxury of Palm Beach to a tee. In addition to two coffee-table books, his work has been published in Town & Country, Architectural Digest, Vogue, The New York Times, and Vanity Fair. When not shooting editorial projects or for clients such as Vineyard Vines, Sam Edelman, and Lilly Pulitzer, Mele often centers his lens on his two sons, wife Molly, and himself, sharing their family antics on Instagram (@a.social.life)

Personal style: Laid-back prep. Colorful but not too loud. I like to stand out but not draw attention. I think it’s better to be overdressed than underdressed. I’m just as comfortable in shorts and sandals as I am in a jacket and tie. That’s a lie—I hate ties and I’m usually shoeless. But the other parts are true. Can’t live without: A pocket square in my breast pocket Oldest item in his closet: My Spicoli-style checkered Vans Secretly loves: Suspenders Eyeing from Lilly’s Men’s Stuff: I try not to combine too many different patterns and colors together at once. I let one piece of Lilly shine and then keep the rest pretty simple. There are some great pants coming out in the new line that I’m excited to pair with a white button-down and maybe a blue blazer. Will never get rid of: My jean jacket His definition of Palm Beach style: Colorful, classic, barefoot.

Tommy Hilfiger

Tommy Hilfiger needs little introduction: he is the founder and principal designer of Tommy Hilfiger Global, one of the world’s most recognized lifestyle brands. Hilfiger opened his first store, People’s Place, in 1969, while he was still in high school. In the years since, he has opened more than 2,000 retail outlets across 100 countries. He’s received many awards during his career, including the CFDA’s Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award, British GQ’s Design Legend of the Year Award, the BFC’s Outstanding Achievement Award, WWD’s John B. Fairchild Honor for Lifetime Achievement, and the Visionary Award from the National Retail Federation. He and his wife, Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger, reside in Palm Beach and are dedicated to numerous philanthropic endeavors, both locally and globally.

In his closet: Everything is meticulously organized by color, fabric, and category—exactly the way we organize items in Tommy Hilfiger stores around the world. Must-have this season: Classic preppy with a modern twist is the ultimate way to dress—not just this spring but always. A timeless piece like the perfect navy blazer from Tommy Hilfiger is a must-have for both men and women, embodying that effortless style. Oldest item in his closet: A pair of vintage Levi’s jeans from the 1970s Recent impulse purchase: A brandnew Wilson tennis racket. I couldn’t resist upgrading my gear! Wouldn’t be caught dead in: I used to love wearing a moto jacket, but I’ve since retired it. It no longer fits my personal style. Most prized possession: My Patek Philippe Tiffany watch. It’s timeless and holds a lot of personal significance. His definition of Palm Beach style: It’s all about being colorful, tropical, and effortlessly preppy chic—just like the iconic Lilly Pulitzer aesthetic.

In addition to his Lilly Pulitzer pants, Tommy Hilfiger is wearing a shirt, jacket, sunglasses, shoes, and belt from his eponymous brand.

Joseph Singer

A nonpracticing classically trained architect, Joseph Singer now runs Mish Fine Jewelry with his husband and business partner, Mish Tworkowski (their dog, Bobo, likes to help behind the counter as well). In Palm Beach, Singer is able to channel his prolific background as an architect into the elegant worlds he inhabits, whether they be that of fine jewelry or philanthropy. An extension of his love of all things horticulture, Singer currently serves as vice president of the board of directors of the Mounts Botanical Garden in West Palm Beach. When not working, you can find him cooking or tending to his large orchid collection.

Personal style: Tailored tropical or tropical tailored Collects: Chuck Taylor sneakers in many happy colors

Can’t live without: A needlepoint belt that Mish had made for me with personal images stitched on it. Oldest item in my closet: A repurposed vintage Lilly Pulitzer tropical print pique shirt. It was originally an oversize woman’s blouse that I had turned into an Aloha shirt. I love it, except the buttons are on the reverse side, which still confuses me. Recent impulse purchase: I recently bought (and may never wear) a pink terry cloth 1950s cabana shirt with an alligator embroidery. Wouldn’t be caught dead in: For me, it’s really about comfort, so if it’s not comfortable it’s not an option. Most expensive purchase: A lovely Hermès opalwhite sweater Must-have this season: I saw a great pair of shoes while traveling recently that were a hybrid between an espadrille and a moccasin—but they didn’t have them in my size. His definition of Palm Beach style: Tropical preppy.

Arvo K aj

Arvo Katajisto doesn’t follow trends—he sets them. A stylish ﬁxture on Palm Beach’s social circuit, Katajisto was born in Finland but moved to Palm Beach County in 1956 and counted Lilly Pulitzer as a longtime friend. He began working at WPTV out of high school, rising in the station’s ranks for 22 years before moving to Hollywood to work as an actor. Since then, he has had hundreds of parts in various ﬁlms and TV shows, but he is best known for his roles on Star Trek: The Next Generation. He continues to act and model when called upon to do so. He loves dressing outside of the box, but maintains a clean, casual look in his day to day.

Signature outfit: The Canadian tuxedo. Jeans and the denim shirt are all Levi’s. Oldest item in his closet: Me when I walk in. No, I bought my first Gucci shoes in the ’60s. They cost $35, and that was big money. I still love them. Lilly Love: I’m glad they brought the men’s line back. I wear my Lilly pants with a nice shirt to be casual, and then I wear them with a white dinner jacket and black tie for special events. Most impulsive purchase: A great ski outfit in Aspen. It’s my favorite place to ski, though I used to ski in Big Bear when I worked in Hollywood. Wouldn’t be caught dead in: Crocs. I have a pair, but I hate them. Most expensive purchase: A Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master I bought in 1970. It’s the kind they use for pilots. His definition of Palm Beach style: Cool and chic.

Ag t A o

While this professional polo player isn’t the only star athlete in his family (his father, Julio, is in the Polo Hall of Fame and his sister, Hope, is the only female American 10-goaler), Agustin Arellano is making his own mark in the sport. A seasonal Wellington resident, Arellano has won more than 20 USPA tournaments and claimed a silver medal in the 2022 FIP World Cup. Off the ﬁeld, he is passionate about art and is pursuing a master’s degree in fashion and art business from the University of Madrid. His thesis will focus on his appreciation for nature as the ultimate inspiration for art, informed by his love of horses and life traveling for polo.

Personal style: 1990s Harrison Ford. I have two conﬂicting styles—I can be very, very preppy but also really relaxed. The only common denominator is almost everything has to be vintage. Collects: Linen shirts and Golden Goose sneakers Can’t live without: My dad’s Rolex Oyster that he won in a polo tournament and gifted to me. Will never get rid of: Everyone questioned me when I bought an all-white linen suit, but I have worn it many more times than I or anyone else expected. Love of Lilly: I think bringing menswear back to Lilly is genius. I am an art fanatic, and Lilly’s prints and the ideology behind the brand have always been so interesting to me. Wouldn’t be caught dead in: Sandals, if I’m not at the beach. His deﬁnition of Palm Beach style: You don’t see it anywhere else in the world. It’s dynamic and really fun. There are bold colors and a mix of old and new styles that really speak to me.

9 Jewelry for THE TABLE

Tabletop designer Kim Seybert’s creativity and expertise were on full display during a stylish Palm Beach brunch

BY LINDA MARX

PHOTOGRAPHY BY JERRY RABINOWITZ

Kim Seybert considers herself lucky to have discovered her passion for design early in life. The luxury tableware designer and entertaining expert has cherished creative pursuits for as long as she can remember. As a child, she found joy in sewing, designing clothes, arranging patterns, and decorating cookies and cakes. Her enthusiasm for design extended to finishing her sister’s projects and decorating their shared bedroom while growing up in Granite City, Illinois. For Seybert, design has long been an all-consuming

interest and a source of endless inspiration.

“I have always loved tabletop and knew I wanted [to pursue] fashion design after college,” says Seybert, who is now internationally known for her detailed and colorful placemats, napkins, napkin rings, tablecloths, table runners, coasters, flatware, dinnerware, and barware. Her Kim Seybert tabletop designs are available in 370 stores around the world, including Bloomingdale’s, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, and locally at Pioneer Linens, Hive, and The Breakers. She has also

collaborated on a special collection of placemats, napkins, and napkin rings with Baccarat crystal called Baccarat x Kim Seybert.

But before she launched her eponymous enterprise, Seybert started her career working for a uniform company in Dallas, though she was based in New Orleans. She went into business for herself in 1982 and created uniforms for the World’s Fair when it was in New Orleans.

In 1987, she moved to New York and began working in the garment district, designing clothing for department stores that belonged to the Federated and Associated Merchandising Corporation. Her specialty was beaded tops and separates, but she eventually added cocktail dresses to the mix. She also designed beaded gowns and cocktail dresses for A.J. Bari.

“I traveled a lot during those

years and learned more about beaded and highly embellished design,” she says. “After one company I worked for went out of business, I began to freelance. [I shopped] around the world, especially in Asia, buying napkins, tablecloths, and all things embellished.”

At the time, Seybert notes, most everything was white. “There was no color in fashion back then,” she says. “I loved to entertain, so I made colorful pillows [and] napkins, sketched beaded coasters, invented a beaded placemat, etc. Nobody was doing this, and I had learned so much from the beaded dresses I designed.”

Around 1997, she took her beaded placemat samples to Henri Bendel, and the buyers loved them. Orders from Neiman Marcus soon followed. Her beaded tablescape products stood out. “All they knew

Guests sipped on blueberry tea and Champagne before sitting down to an alfresco lunch by chef Nina Cioffi. The table’s floral candleholders were designed by Seybert’s close friend Michael Aram, who also created the tray she used for serving the blueberry tea.

“I still get excited to find what I need to put a table together. I feel proud that I started a category of fashion for the home.”

were linens in Tuscan colors,” says Seybert.

After she secured an order from Saks Fifth Avenue, Seybert put together a collection of coasters, napkin rings, and placemats. Another one of her initial orders was from the late Phyllis Pressman, owner of Barney’s.

These early sales were a boon to her company, which she officially started in 1998. “My clients were not afraid to take risks,” she says. “We grew a category of modern fashion for the table.”

Today, Seybert and her team of 26 design and hand-sketch in New York, use a factory in India for most of the beaded items, and ship from North Carolina. “We design it all and watch it in progress,” she says. “We look at samples on the loom.”

Seybert is still inspired by travel, shopping antique shows, open-air markets, and bazaars

“everywhere” around the world. Her original styles were evocative of handicrafts from countries she had visited. Beading, hand-dyeing, embroidery, handpainting, and mouthblown glass remain her hallmarks. “I still get excited to find what I need to put a table together,” she says. “I feel proud that I started a category of fashion for the home.”

When it comes to her own homelife, Seybert is single and the mother of two “teddy bear” dogs named Bella and Tess. She divides her time between a New York City apartment, a Hamptons home with a big yard, and a waterfront apartment in Palm Beach, which she bought in 2021 because she loves the area’s architecture and lifestyle. “I’ve been coming to Palm Beach for

years,” she says. “I used to date a polo player.”

In her three beautiful homes, Seybert entertains formally once a month and more frequently for small dinner parties. “I believe when you make a beautiful effort for the table, people step up their game because a great party elevates mood and [the] conversation is heightened,” she explains. “I see the difference. I like to try new things with color and set the stage.”

One of her favorite types of entertaining is having lunch with her girlfriends. She recently hosted a

small caviar brunch for seven on her elegant Palm Beach terrace overlooking the water. It was a beautiful sunny day, and the women were excited to join Seybert.

“Kim is amazing with her party skills,” says guest Kara Ross, a jewelry designer and philanthropist who collects tabletop items. “I love how she mixes colors, textures, and patterns. I want to wear the napkin rings on my hand.”

“I like to be a relaxed hostess and surround myself with good people,” adds Seybert. “It’s easy to be single because I have great friends who are important

to me. Palm Beach is wonderful because people here are open to making new friends, and they enjoy the sunshine and outdoor lifestyle.”

The guests were offered Champagne, blueberry tea, and a selection of caviar appetizers with potato chips, cheese, sour cream, egg whites, and chives from chef Nina Cioffi’s garden. The caviar came from guest Maribel Alvarez, the owner of Altima Caviar, which offers an ethically sourced product.

party. “I wanted to design a happy and colorful spring table,” she says. She used her new Tuileries hand-painted tablecloth with a digital floral print, beaded orchid placemats, and hand-painted pink napkins and Brilliant napkin rings. For china, she picked Richard Ginori’s Oriente Italiano pattern with vintage 1920s pink wine glasses and lilac water glasses

along with her Mirage flatware.

Guest Robin Bergland of Renny & Reed crafted the florals to elevate the garden feel, selecting varieties that complemented the colors in the tablecloth. They included pink peonies, lavender lilacs, white and green parrot tulips, pale blue tweedia, white fringe tulips, and lavender sweet peas accented with white and

Guests were impressed with the table design, including Penny Murphy, owner of Pioneer Linens in downtown West Palm Beach. “We were one of Kim’s first accounts,” Murphy says. “Before she started her company, everything available was standard and conservative. … Kim started tablescaping with her jewelry for the table.”

For lunch, chef Cioffi wanted to focus on “elegant simplicity,” to include Siberian sturgeon caviar with tagliolini pasta, as well as herbed popovers with softened Vermont Creamery butter and Florida orange honey jam. “Following the caviar selections, I [served] a bright salsa using fresh fruit and locally grown lettuce

with juicy salmon fillets, which kept everything light but satisfying,” says Cioffi.

The chef ended the meal with coconut cake, a favorite of the host. Guest Catherine Adler, a Broadway theater producer, raved about the party. “Kim makes entertaining so easy,” says Adler, also a collector of Seybert’s tabletop products. “Plus, she is genuine and down to earth.”

For Seybert, entertaining is as natural as designing new products. She is excited daily to create and use her designs for parties. She also likes to find new categories and discover novel materials. “I am blessed to love what I do and share it with my wonderful friends,” she says. “I have a lucky charm over my head.” «

The meal included salmon fillets with fresh salsa and concluded with coconut cake, a favorite of Seybert’s.

THE CLUB AT QUAIL RIDGE

Fifty years is an extraordinary achievement for a private golf community, especially in South Florida. The Club at Quail Ridge is celebrating its golden anniversary this year, but the private gated community in the heart of Palm Beach County feels fresh and new.

“What a tremendous year we have planned for our members in 2024 as we celebrate the ftieth anniversary of Quail Ridge all year long,” says COO Bill Langley. “Following more than $50 million invested in new amenities over the past ve years, we have gone through a complete renaissance. Members now enjoy a nearly new club with the complement of a prestigious gol ng heritage that few clubs can claim.”

The Club has come a long way since the early 1970s when it was marketed as a major tennis facility with a golf course and equestrian

facilities. By the mid-1970s, the focus of Quail Ridge shifted to become more golf-centric following a lengthy list of golf greats joining the Club. This included the likes of Claude Harmon, winner of the 1948 Masters, joined Quail Ridge in 1976. The legendary Sam Snead soon followed.

“Our members belong to a truly exceptional Club, where the legacy of past and present golfers sets an unparalleled standard in South Florida,” says Director Brian Merbler. “Complementing our golf tradition, we are placing the nishing touches on a beautiful state-of-the-art Racquet Sports Center. This new facility will serve as the vibrant hub for our pickleball and tennis players, providing an extraordinary lifestyle opportunity for all members.”

The Club’s ftieth anniversary year is the perfect time to explore living here.

TESORO CLUB

Tesoro Club in Port St. Lucie offers a rare opportunity to enjoy South Florida’s private golf club lifestyle. This 1,490-acre gated community seamlessly blends natural beauty with exceptional amenities, anchored by the renowned Palmer Course. Designed by golf legend Arnold Palmer, this championship course features wide-open fairways, wooded preserves, and lush wetlands. Its dynamic layout challenges golfers with strategic play and rewards them with breathtaking views on every hole.

IN THE KITCHEN

New to BOULUD

Earlier this season, Café Boulud welcomed Christopher Zabita as its new executive chef. He is only the fifth person to hold that position at the restaurant, which opened inside The Brazilian Court Hotel in 2003.

Although Zabita is originally from New Jersey, he started his cooking career in Orlando, at Disney’s Victoria & Albert’s and Yachtsman Steakhouse. He went on to work at Restaurant Marc Forgione and the Walker Hotel, both in New York, as well as Battello in his home state. And he’s no stranger to the Boulud empire, having served as sous chef at Bar Boulud in Manhattan.

While this pedigree comes through in his deft treatment of ingredients— whether they be as humble as chicken or as high-end as Wagyu—Zabita takes pride in creating signature dishes that reflect his Italian roots and deep love of pasta. Case in point: his duck sugo fusillotti, featuring duck braised in red wine with dark chocolate, cinnamon, and sage, served with a pasta that he describes as just a bit larger than fusilli, plus sweet potato puree and sage gremolata.

In addition to specials like these, regulars at Café Boulud can expect to see Zabita’s influence across the menu, to include an abundance of locally sourced ingredients. He often finds inspiration from area farmers markets, incorporates fresh produce from Swank Specialty Produce in Loxahatchee, and utilizes finishing salts and other products from Palm Beach Salt Co. “It’s fun to keep the localness of everything as much as we can,” says Zabita, adding that he’s excited to marry his culinary style with Florida’s unique seasonality.

OUR EDITORS SHARE BELOVED SALAD ORDERS IN HONOR OF NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH

Superfood Salad,

Christopher’s Kitchen, Palm Beach Gardens

When I need my greens in something other than smoothie form, the superfood salad at Christopher’s Kitchen—a spot offering organic, plant-based, and mostly raw food—is my go-to. The medley of mixed greens and arugula is topped with alfalfa and sunflower sprouts, spicy radish slices, creamy avocado, seaweed, and a sprinkle of hemp seeds. Tossed lightly in a tangy house vinaigrette, it’s nutrient-dense without weighing me down. (christopherskitchenfl.com)

XLOBSTER SALAD, AL FRESCO, PALM BEACH

CALL ME A CREATURE OF HABIT: EVERY TIME I DINE AT AL FRESCO, I ORDER THE LOBSTER SALAD. THEY DEFINITELY NAILED THE ASSIGNMENT WITH THIS ONE. YOU CAN TAKE OR LEAVE THE SALAD PART; IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MOUNDS OF LIGHTLY DRESSED, SUPER-FRESH LOBSTER CHUNKS. AS A BONUS, YOU GET DRAMATIC VIEWS FROM AL FRESCO’S SECOND-FLOOR PERCH OVERLOOKING THE OCEAN AND THE PALM BEACH PAR 3. DAY OR EVENING, IT’S THE PERFECT ORDER AT ONE OF PALM BEACH’S HIDDEN GEMS. (GOLFONTHE OCEAN.COM)—DAPHNE NIKOLOPOULOS, EDITOR IN CHIEF

Tuscan Kale Salad, City Cellar, West Palm Beach

I’ve been a devotee of City Cellar’s salads for more than a decade—and have attempted to re-create many of them at home. The Tuscan kale salad is simple in concept but multifaceted in flavor. A bed of dark leafy greens provides a slightly bitter backbone to a sweet symphony of cranberries and hazelnuts, while the salty aged cheddar and Meyer lemon vinaigrette contribute just the right amount of kick. (citycellarwpb.com) —Mary Murray, executive editor

INSALATA CESARE

Bice Ristorante, Palm Beach

Bice’s authentic presentation of the classic Caesar includes romaine lettuce, house-made Caesar dressing (secret ingredient: premium black anchovies from Neptune Fish Market in Lake Worth Beach), and fresh croutons made with EVOO and Italian rosemary, all finished with imported Parmigiano-Reggiano. For me, this is the “little black dress” of salads—it’s always in style and pairs beautifully with menu favorites from tuna tartare to pastas. (bicepalmbeach.com) —Allison Wolfe Reckson, managing editor

Grilled

Salad,

Avocado Grill, West Palm Beach

Avocado Grill knows how to give its namesake the star treatment. Case in point: the grilled avocado salad, made with “off the cob” Mexican street corn salsa, peppery arugula, cooling queso fresco, micro cilantro, and a zesty chipotle vinaigrette. Warming and satisfying on its own, this substantial salad pairs deliciously with sliced hanger steak or blackened shrimp for a little extra heft. (avocadogrillwpb.com) —Abigail Duffy, web editor

READY to Dish

When chef Coton Stine opened Cósta in Delray Beach in 2022, she aimed to operate a scratch kitchen with an emphasis on local ingredients and sustainable practices. Her former life as a private chef in Palm Beach and Las Vegas influenced the fare she put on the menu, too.

“My private chef experience allowed me to have limitless time to be creative, with access to exquisite ingredients,” Stine explains. “I would put on my favorite chill music—often Billie Holiday—then cook, taste, and create. Sometimes I didn’t speak all day. I did lots of recipe meditation and good food making.”

That creativity is also on display at Table 165, which debuted in Delray’s Pineapple Grove neighborhood earlier this year. This venture showcases Stine’s French training, as she reinvents classics with worldly flavors. A good example is her Gochujang Crispy Pinks dish, consisting of tempura-style jumbo Key West pink shrimp with a cold-pressed gochujang sauce, served over a miso beurre blanc with miso aioli droplets.

While Table 165 is just open for dinner, Cósta spans all-day dining. At Cósta, Stine recommends the scallop po’boy burger (another homage to Key West, where she spent her teen years) and her local snapper with lemongrass coconut Mylk, passionfruit curd, and salty sea beans.

WINE DOWN

GIRL Power

BY MICHAEL DRAPKIN

Over the past few decades, a bright—and long overdue—light has shone on women in the wine industry. Nowadays, there are women leading the charge from California to Austria. At West Palm Wine Co., we carry products from more than 60 wineries that are women-led and/or -owned. Here are three of our favorite wines from wineries owned by women who are intimately involved in the growing and making process.

2023 Barbara Öhlzelt Grüner Leader, Austria. Barbara Öhlzelt’s Grüner Leader is crafted from a blend of grapes sourced from all her Grüner Veltliner vineyards, with vines averaging 30 years old. Grüner Veltliner, Austria’s native white grape, offers a flavor profile somewhat similar to Sauvignon Blanc. It boasts vibrant acidity and crisp, refreshing characteristics, making it an ideal choice for unwinding after a day on the water.

RETHINK YOUR CULINARY ROUTINES WITH THESE FIVE INNOVATIVE APPLIANCES

BY LIZA GRANT SMITH

IN THE MIX

There’s no need to hire a sous chef for your cooking endeavors thanks to the Thermomix TM6 ($1,649). This all-in-one multicooker oﬀers 28 functions (including chop, blend, steam, knead, sauté, grind, whisk, sous vide, and slow cook) as well as access to more than 80,000 guided recipes on the integrated Cookidoo app. The revolutionary product is for everyone from professional chefs to home cooks looking to up their game. (thermomix.com)

WASTE AWAY

A new take on kitchen cleanup and a much less odorous alternative to traditional composting methods, the Mill Food Recycler ($999) converts food scraps (everything from turkey bones to avocado pits) to nutrient-rich grounds. Use the grounds in your garden or send them back to the company to be turned into chicken food and distributed to farms. The Mill runs automatically with intelligent cycles based on what you put in it. Instead of needing to be emptied daily, it can run for around a month thanks to its large capacity. This powerhouse can transform 1.4 pounds of food scraps into dry, shelfstable grounds in just 2.5 hours with an operating sound similar to the quietest air filter. The hands-free design allows you to easily open it by pushing a pedal, while the activated charcoal filters effectively eliminate odors. Sit back and let the Mill do its thing, or get on the app to see what’s happening inside your bin and create a custom schedule. (mill.com)

TOAST OF THE TOWN

The genius of toasters, Revolution Cooking’s R180 Connect Plus Smart ($400) boasts a 7-inch full-color LCD touch screen, enabling users to select from 40 toasting options and seven brownness levels. A patented heating system sears the bread without drying it, so it becomes crispy on the outside while remaining soft on the inside. And lest you think this device only toasts, it also connects to Wi-Fi to auto-detect time and date and display it along with the daily local weather forecast. You can even upload 24 photos that the toaster will cycle through on its screen when not in use. (revcook.com)

TAKE IT FOR A SPIN

The team at Spinn Coffee set out to “reimagine coffee for the connected age and the discerning coffee lover.” The result is a coffee maker that features a multi-patented centrifugal brewing technology that can brew whole beans to precisely how the growers and roasters envisioned. Now in its second generation, the Spinn2 ($999) is Wi-Fi connected, so it can learn, track, and communicate with users. You can also save your customized preferences to make your perfect cup of coffee, espresso, or cold brew whenever you are craving it. (spinn.com)

NICE TO MEAT YOU

No more guessing when meat is done. Simply insert the Meater Pro smart thermometer ($130) in any meat, then set up the cook and the app will display the progress with colorful clarity on your phone or other device. Feel free to chat with your dinner guests or catch up on your favorite podcast while you wait. The app will alert you when your food is ready. (meater.com)

SKIN CARE

BRIGHT AND CLEAN

Pop artist Romero Britto has received so many compliments on the quality of his skin that he decided to design his own line of skin care products called Britto Skin. “Healthy skin is our temple, and we need to take care of it,” says South Florida–based Britto. “Britto Skin is beautiful and effective.”

Britto Skin launched with 13 products across four collections: 5C Radiance, Ultra Hydrator, Advanced Renewal, and Barrier Defense. Each item comes in vibrant packaging that reflects the international artist’s welldocumented interest in color. Furthermore, the entire line emphasizes the power of plants to promote skin health, with each formula boasting select ingredients derived from the rich biodiversity of the Peruvian and Brazilian Amazon.

“I had concerns about the ingredients in most skin care products, so I worked with specialists of skin care solutions at DG Cosmetics to develop a brand of expertly curated products backed by science,” says Britto. “Whether you’re looking for gentle cleansing, anti-aging, or deep hydration, we have something for everyone.”

The Rosses have since expanded to Fort Lauderdale, Miami Beach, and Boca Raton; they opened a location on Gardenia Street in West Palm Beach earlier this year. “We’re young, fun, and down-to-earth and love creating communities of like-minded people,” says Genevieve. “Our brand is cheeky with a sense of humor.

EQUESTRIAN SPORTS

Blue Ribbon Care

At the height of the Palm Beaches’ equestrian sporting season, a local surgeon is advancing the care of its human athletes— from amateurs to Olympians across disciplines—thanks to the support of a former athlete and her family.

Dr. Nicholas Sama, director of orthopedic trauma and reconstruc tive surgery and co-medical director of West Palm Beach’s Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS)-Florida , is implementing innovative and regenerative therapies, made possible by a $2 million endowment from former polo player Annabelle Garrett and her mother and former patient, Marina Kellen French. “Dr. Sama’s knowledge and commitment to the well-being of the equestrian athlete ensures we can compete at the highest level safely and sustainably,” Garrett says. “The level of precision and care he brings to equine sports medicine is unmatched.” PBI recently caught up with Sama to discuss this patient population and more. (hss.edu/florida) —Kelley Marcellus

RELAXED APPROACH

PBI: What considerations come into play when caring for equestrians?

Sama: Taking care of professional athletes requires the medical team to learn about the demands of the sport. [Equestrians] are some of the most talented, motivated, and passionate athletes I have ever encountered.

What are the keys to helping your patients?

It’s multifactorial and starts with administrative and medical teams present on the grounds at the time of injury. Timely assessment, stabilization, and transportation of the patient to a nearby emergency room is paramount, as is access to talented orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists.

How will the endowment make a difference?

It [funds] research and medical staff recruitment, getting us closer to providing the full complement of orthopedic services in South Florida in a way that

is synonymous with [our] parent institution in New York that has been rated the No. 1 U.S. orthopedic program for 15 consecutive years.

TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION (TM) IS NOT NEW TO THE AREA. THE PRACTICE—WHICH PROPONENTS DESCRIBE AS A SIMPLE YET EFFECTIVE MEANS OF ACHIEVING GREATER WELLBEING—HAS BEEN TAUGHT TO MORE THAN 10,000 PEOPLE IN PALM BEACH COUNTY SINCE THE 1970S. STUDIES HAVE SHOWN TM TO BE EFFECTIVE AT REDUCING ANXIETY, IMPROVING SLEEP, ENHANCING CREATIVITY, AND LOWERING ONE’S RISK OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE. IN 2020, A NEW CHAPTER KNOWN AS THE PALM BEACH TM CENTER, LED BY CERTIFIED TM INSTRUCTORS SAM AND MELODY KATZ, WAS OFFICIALLY ESTABLISHED IN THE PALM BEACH TOWERS. “TM IS PRACTICED WHILE SITTING COMFORTABLY WITH THE EYES CLOSED FOR 20 MINUTES, TWICE A DAY,” SAYS SAM. “AFTER JUST A FEW MINUTES OF PRACTICE, PEOPLE TYPICALLY FEEL MORE REFRESHED, LESS STRESSED, CLEAR-MINDED, AND READY FOR ACTION.” (TM.ORG/CENTERS/ PALM-BEACH-ISLAND) —L.G.S.

FUNCTION

SHROOM TO GROW

The pandemic was a wake-up call for Tim and Sandra Watts. Sandra had been struggling with painful inflammation in her hands and gained only temporary relief after seeing a hand specialist. She grew reishi mushrooms in her Loxahatchee backyard and started doing research into the power of functional mushrooms. She was impressed by her findings and the purported benefits of the mushrooms—everything from improved energy and stamina to immunity and cognitive functioning.

Sandra ended up boiling the mushrooms into a tea and adding herbs. Within two weeks, her hands felt much better, and she also noticed an overall boost in her wellbeing. Inspired by the results, Sandra began making the tea for friends and family.

Demand grew, and the couple knew they had to share it with more people. They founded Hongo Tea Co. , offering two varieties of mushroom herbal beverages: Immunity Defense (with reishi, lion’s mane, turkey tail, and chaga) and Pure Energy (with cordyceps, lion’s mane, turkey tail, chaga, hibiscus, and tulsi rama). Each bottle of the sugarand caffeine-free beverage contains more than 5,600 mg of functional whole fruiting body of mushrooms, along with herbs like tulsi rama, lemon balm, and more.

“The feedback from our customers has

been incredible,” says Sandra, “with many experiencing benefits like less joint pain, better focus, and improved sleep.” (hongotea.net) —L.G.S.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR

THE SEASON’S SIGNATURE SCENTS ARE BOTH BEAUTIFUL AND BENEFICIAL

BY TAMMY FENDER

subtle: scent. Choosing fragrance, to include con-

Style is what we wear, of course, but it contains an added dimension, something even more subtle: scent. Choosing a signature perfume is one thing, but there are many ways to deepen how we wear a fragrance, to include connecting to the natural world by harmonizing with the season.

At this time of year, South Florida is blooming with fragrant style cues—from honeysuckle to gardenia, lavender to jasmine. Spring’s blossoms are particularly elegant. They are light, ultra-feminine, and full of color. And while fashion celebrates this moment in time with ﬂoral prints and frills, we can trace those trends back to their roots—the plants themselves. In both ancient and modern ways, spring invites a fresh consideration of natural beauty through fragrance.

Naturally made fragrances, including those crafted with essential oils and botanical extracts, not only forgo harmful synthetic ingredients that can be found in conventional

perfumes, but they also offer unadulterated aromatherapeutic beneﬁ ts. Scent is subtle yet profound, bypassing the conscious parts of the brain to access our emotional layers.

Spring’s scents cast a beautiful spell. Honeysuckle and lavender are both traditional herbal remedies for soothing inflammation, physically and emotionally. Gardenia is delightfully sweet, but developing studies show it also may help alleviate stress. Researchers have found that jasmine helps us feel calmer and more upbeat. In fact, all these flowers contain an important phytocompound called linalool that promotes relaxation and reduces stress. It’s fascinating to read spring’s message in this way, suggesting we all slow down and enjoy the flowers in style. «

DISASTER PHILANTHROPY

PROACTIVE FOUNDATIONS

ARE HELPING THEIR COMMUNITIES BUILD RESILIENCY TO WITHSTAND INCREASING NATURAL DISASTERS CAUSED BY CLIMATE CHANGE

BY CATHY CHESTNUT

In the wake of natural disasters, community foundations have become first responders—providing emergency relief funding to help residents meet basic needs and working with nonprofits to develop strategies for both short-term and long-term recovery.

For years, the Collier Community Foundation (CCF) and the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin (CFPBM) Counties have activated disaster relief funds for hurricanes and economic disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic. These funds can be quickly seeded by immediate, one-time donations from community foundation trustees, new and established donors, or businesses. Donors with established donor-advised funds can expedite donations during a crisis.

Unrestricted funds are also invaluable.

Naples resident G. Jeffrey Provol donated to Collier Comes Together’s Hurricane Ian Relief Fund in 2022—his only financial transaction with the CCF—and later decided to leave CCF an unrestricted estate gift of approximately $17 million. The foundation received the gift

after he died in September 2023. “This is how you build your communities—you ensure the community you care about is taken care of in the future,” says Eileen Connolly-Keesler, president and CEO of CCF.

So-called “billion-dollar weather disasters” doubled between 2010 and 2020, according to the National Centers for Environmental Information, a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

In response, both CCF and CFPBM are taking a longer view—and a proactive role—in making communities more resilient against droughts, wildfires, and storms, which are predicted to intensify in frequency and strength due to climate change.

CCF has granted millions to elevate homes in low-lying coastal communities, orchestrated the planting of 3,500 native trees, and funded the Naples Botanical Garden’s initiative to propagate salt-tolerant plants to establish beach dune systems that break wave action. In 2023, CFPBM awarded $60,000 to Community Greening, which is focused on increasing South Florida’s tree canopy, and $21,405 to The Nature Conservancy’s microinternship program that engages underserved youth in conservation.

“Disaster recovery and philanthropy are evolving,” says Danita DeHaney, president and CEO of CFPBM. “We will continue to build capacity and systematic resilience to future se-

vere weather and natural disasters. [Our] relationships with the nonprofits we serve—many of which are the boots on the ground during disasters—are critical to ensuring our ability to support the local community in times of need.”

The Center for Disaster Philanthropy recommends that donors “recognize there are places private philanthropy can help that government agencies might not.” It notes

that community foundations are often nimbler and more innovative than bureaucracies: “With the increase in extreme weather events, governments cannot fully fund recovery. Therefore, private funders have opportunities to develop innovative solutions to help with recovery efforts and to prevent or mitigate future disasters that the government cannot execute.” «

West Palm Beach audiences will hear Harold Zidler proclaim the famous words “Welcome to the Moulin Rouge!” when the touring production of Moulin Rouge! The Musical brings glitz and glamour to the Kravis Center March 25-30. Based on the famed Academy Award–winning film by Baz Luhrmann, Moulin Rouge! The Musical is a jukebox spectacle of splendor and romance that follows the ill-fated love story of Scottish poet Christian and cabaret star Satine. The energetic celebration of “Truth, Beauty, Freedom, Love” is an extravaganza for the senses, featuring stunning costumes, sets evocative of nineteenth-century Paris, and beloved songs within songs, such as “Elephant Love Medley,” “El Tango de Roxanne,” “Your Song,” “Only Girl in a Material World,” and more.

Set among the lush surrounds of the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens in West Palm Beach, the displayed works highlight Katz’s mastery of form and color on silkscreens, pigment prints, and linocuts. With a honed minimalist style that favors clarity and balance, Katz depicts subjects (like his wife, Ada) with striking simplicity and elegance, as seen in Large Black Hat (Ada) and Ariel (B&W). On par with its natural setting, the exhibition will also showcase Katz’s “Autumn” and “Spring” series, which capture the fallen leaves and emerging buds of the respective seasons, as well as the artist’s floral works.

DEAR LIZ

BY LIZ LANGE ILLUSTRATIONS BY LISA KAW

Dear Liz,

How can I make a smaller dinner party fun?

If you ask me—and you did, didn’t you?— there is nothing better than having a small group for dinner. In fact, my favorite way to entertain is for groups of between six and eight so that we can have one table conversation. I ﬁnd an alltable conversation (which is only possible in a smaller group) so much more entertaining than the awkward sidebar convos that need to go on through a three- to four-course meal at a long table of people. It’s very hard to make polite chitchat with the person to your right and the person to your left for multiple hours! And when you invite more than eight, you pretty much are having dinner alone with your two seatmates. In terms of conversation, I don’t think you need to select topics in advance. But as a host-

ess, it’s nice to have some in your back pocket in case there’s a lull. I like to think of something topical, ask the table a question about it, and take it from there. Or sometimes I’ll ask everyone if they have a great book, podcast, or TV show to recommend. Nothing makes me happier than leaving a dinner with some good new content to consume.

If the group doesn’t know each other (and it’s great if they don’t), I’ll go around the table once we are seated and say a few words about each guest. Something like: “Jacquie is a publicist, but she also makes the best brownies I have ever tasted.” Again, this is another advantage of a smaller group, as you can’t do this if your group is too large—it would take too long and get boring.

I know that people always say that you

should never talk politics, religion, or sex in polite company, but I think those topics are exactly what you should discuss at a dinner. In fact, my rule is the opposite: for the love of God, please don’t be banal at a dinner party! No question is worse than “Do you have any fun trips planned?” and the like. What is fun about that? It’s so much more fun and interesting to get into a heated political debate or ask people what the rest of the group might be shocked to learn about them. That type of thing.

Anyway, that’s just moi. I suggest you go ahead and invite two or three couples for dinner, try it, and let me know how it turns out.

XO,

NICKMELE
