EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK

PRIORITY SHIFT

If you’ve never had a custom shift made by the Lilly Pulitzer crew, make it your goal in 2026. The experience is so Palm Beach. Page 61.

SUCCESS STORIES

For a while now, I’ve been following the news coming out of our hometown university, Florida Atlantic—not just because it’s interesting fodder for magazine articles, but because it’s fascinating in a general, good-to-know sense.

For those who haven’t heard, Florida Atlantic was recently (and for the first time in its history) designated a Carnegie R1 top-tier research university, an acknowledgment of its exceptionally high research volume, infrastructure, and output. That surely has contributed to the school’s status as a top-100 public university (according to U.S. News & World Report’s national university rankings), which has led to record admissions in the past couple of years. More students than ever are naming FAU as their top choice, something that was unheard of in decades past.

Did glory come easy? No, it did not. It took a lot of vision and leadership by a number of individuals—past presidents, trustees, community leaders, and elected officials. One of the latter, former State Representative Adam Hasner, has laid much of this foundation over his political tenure and is now bringing his passion for the university full circle as its president. The momentum that has been building over 65 years is finally yielding results, and Adam, along with his dynamic wife, Jillian, is in the perfect position to propel the institution forward. Learn more about his journey, his impact, and his plans for Florida Atlantic’s future in “Mr. FAU Comes Home” on page 120.

This month, we devote considerable space to the subject of style—this is Palm Beach, after all. We have a terrific lineup of spring fashion straight from the New York and Paris runways, trend reports, and designer interviews. If you collect, you’ll enjoy our expert’s take on provenanced vintage jewels, each with a story to tell. Turn to page 132 for Katherine van Dell’s excellent piece, “Old Souls, New Sparkle.”

And don’t miss our photo essay on Cathleen Naundorf’s extraordinary haute couture images, which you’ll appreciate not only for the fashion itself, but also for the old-world artistry that is rarely seen these days. Zero AI here! Flip to the visual treat that is “L’Art de Voir” on page 126.

Enjoy the issue!

FROM THE PUBLISHER

MAKING OUR LUCK

Yours truly has a milestone of sorts this month. Sixty arrives and the prospect of more years behind than ahead is coming into sharper relief. Unless I plan on living to 120, I had better be making the most of the next 30 or so. And, no, this is not a philosophical view of middle age, nor a “Pirate Looks at 40” type tale. For me, 60 arrives on St. Patrick’s Day, making me one of the luckiest men alive. Living in this tropical paradise, how could we consider ourselves anything but lucky? I mean, just look around us.

Every day, the newspaper arrives with announcements of new restaurants, new businesses, and influential folks moving to the neighborhood. This very issue of Palm Beach Illustrated features the new president of Florida Atlantic University on the cover, alongside his wife and FAU first lady, Jillian Hasner. As we welcome Adam Hasner to the job, we look forward to his influence on the institution and the management approach that he will bring to the educational community in Palm Beach County. Add in Vanderbilt’s new campus in West Palm Beach plus the new school being built by Related Ross in Wellington, and it becomes clear that we are seeing an investment in the future of local students as well as those coming in from other parts of the country.

On the business side of things, Wells Fargo’s investment banking engine will soon be revving up in the One Flagler building downtown. They will join Goldman Sachs, New Day, and the pending arrival of Service Now in the march to make West Palm Beach a banking, business, and investment hub. I have been lucky enough to have worked in downtown West Palm for more than 20 years. Now that we live near downtown as well, the retail and hospitality additions at the Nora district, the renewal of CityPlace, and a pedestrian-friendly Clematis Street are delivering on the long-delayed live-work promise of a great city. Mrs. Duffy may have tired of my “I love living here” exclamations, but it’s true. Across the city—from Currie Park to Clearlake to SoSo—buildings are going up with new residents, fresh amenities, and a vibrancy that was missing during the late aughts. But it’s here now, literally all around us. She and I were lucky enough to move up here from Miami in 2020. Now I can’t imagine a better place to be. And for that, I consider myself truly lucky.

Until the next one,

PRESENTING THE PAST

No brand is as synonymous with Palm Beach as Lilly Pulitzer. For its Spring/ Summer 2026 collection, the iconic print house is looking to its past to pave a way forward with reissued prints from the vintage vault, now in new silhouettes and palettes. Lilly Pulitzer celebrated these fresh frocks and more—82 looks in total—with a “Brand Homecoming” runway show held late last year in Key West, home to its original print house. In addition, Lilly Pulitzer has launched the Shift Shop, a new made-toorder experience exclusively available at LP’s flagship Worth Avenue boutique.

A love letter to Lilly’s juicy beginnings, the Shift Shop draws directly from the brand’s heritage and revives original archival prints across a range of classic shift silhouettes—including mini to maxi and sleeveless to cap sleeve, with customizable accents like lace detailing. It’s a new way to wear a piece of history while staying true to the happygo-lucky DNA that propelled Lilly’s designs to fame more than 65 years ago. Each piece is hand-sewn locally, underscoring the brand’s deep island roots. Offerings expand beyond women’s shifts to include a men’s blazer and Little Lilly styles for matching moments.

DRAPED IN HISTORY

THE DELPHOS GOWN HAS FOUND AN UNLIKELY BUT FITTING HOME IN PALM BEACH

BY SKYE SHERMAN

Originally conceived around 1907 and patented in 1909 by artist and polymath Mariano Fortuny, the Delphos gown was inspired by the drapery of classical antiquity, often linked to the masterpiece Charioteer of Delphi bronze sculpture. At a time when rigid corsetry, layers, and tailoring ruled women’s fashion, the Delphos presented something radical: freedom of movement, a silhouette sculpted by silk and gravity rather than boning or seams. In other words: scandal.

“Women were not allowed to ‘undress’ that way,” explains Venetian designer Sophia Passerini. “Something so simple and so thin was not allowed in public view.”

Because it was initially worn only at home or in private environments, the Delphos was not a tremendous success right off the bat. However, it rose in popularity in the Roaring Twenties, thanks in part to the freer ethos that permeated women’s fashion. “If you study what happened in that time, you understand how incredibly liberating it was,” Passerini says.

Worn by artists, actresses, and society luminaries in the early twentieth century, the Delphos gown became a symbol of intellectual

elegance—timeless, sensual, subtly subversive. Today it’s a coveted collector’s piece and is still produced in Venice by Fortuny Venezia.

Crafted in finely pleated silk mysteriously engineered to expand and contract with the body, the gown’s construction remains guarded fashion lore. Its pleats are permanent yet elastic, designed to last decades, with sleeves steering drape and movement. Some variations feature handblown Murano glass beads at the neckline. The only place to purchase the Delphos gown in the United States is at Palm Beach’s Passerini Atelier & Interiors, an intimate capsule space by Passerini. Opened in November, the atelier is supported by an interior design house headquartered in Jupiter and functions less like a traditional boutique and more like a salon, with a curated selection of Fortuny pieces presented alongside collectible objects, textiles, and custom linens. The atelier serves both walk-in visitors and clients by appointment. (passerini.com) «

The Delphos gown (left) is available exclusively in the United States at Passerini Atelier & Interiors (far left and below). The current iteration was inspired by the Charioteer of Delphi sculpture (bottom right) and Fortuny designs from the 1920s (above).

The Church of Bethesda-by-the

The historic Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea has seen generations of Palm Beachers come through its doors, starting in 1889, when it was a humble wooden structure on what is now the Lake Trail. The location may have changed, but tradition hasn’t, and the church continues to welcome everyone from both sides of the Intracoastal—even if they’re just curious.

In that spirit, Bethesda has reimagined its bookshop to be lighter, brighter, and more inclusive, meaning you can pick up a hostess gift or piece of jewelry alongside a devotional book. Volunteer manager Rachel Supple points out new lines such as

NAILED IT

At Palm Beach’s Paul Labrecque Salon & Skincare Spa, nails are treated with the same artistry as cut and color—especially in the hands of expert nail tech Marlisse Murguido. “I like to guide myself by seasons, so I know what colors to work with,” Murguido says. “I am mostly inspired by nature and so many things around me in the Palm Beaches.”

Murguido’s path to nail artistry began in college, when she realized the profession combined many of her interests: art, fashion, wellness, beauty, and health. “For the past seven years, I have lovingly followed fashion and beauty trends, and found a way to merge them into my work,” she shares.

the Bethesda Collection candles (the Cluett Garden scent is divine) and the Gracewear collection of inspirational jewelry, including the Palm Beach “Armor of God” cuff, only available here. The shop also carries children’s toys, coffee-table books, and loads of giftable items, including the widely loved Palm Beach puzzles.

Reverend Tim Schenck says the bookshop is a gateway to the church family. “Ours is an invitational faith,” he says. “We want people to come, see, and feel God’s presence here.” (bbts.org) —Daphne Nikolopoulos

High-end nail sets are hotter than ever, with elements like three-dimensional art showing up in highly specialized work. Murguido points to artists like Anouska Anastasia, who sculpt and create elaborate nail designs for brand marketing purposes. “In terms of luxury nail design trends, I have been seeing designers such as Marc Jacobs wearing sophisticated crystal arrangements over monotone shades,” Murguido adds.

“Another trend that has remained consistent and frequently

asked for is ‘soap’ or ‘glass’ nails.” These are ultra-minimal, clean, high-shine styles with milky pink, nude, sheer, clear, or white polish finishes.

At her station inside Paul Labrecque Salon & Skincare Spa, located at The Royal Poinciana Plaza, Murguido offers everything from classic, gel, and European manicures to Gel-X sets and luxury custom press-ons, plus elevated techniques that showcase the small-scale craftsmanship she’s worked hard to hone.

A NEW FIELD OF PLAY

MIKE MELDMAN BRINGS DISCOVERY LAND COMPANY’S SIGNATURE LIFESTYLE TO HOBE SOUND

BY STEPHANIE GATES

A true titan of industry, Mike Meldman first rose to prominence after co-founding Casamigos tequila with George Clooney and Rande Gerber. In addition to being a stakeholder of the Las Vegas Raiders, Meldman is the founder and chairman of Discovery Land Company, which develops and operates luxury private residential communities. His portfolio includes more than 30 properties all over the world, from Italy to Mexico, the United Arab Emirates, and the Bahamas. Now Meldman has his sights set on Hobe Sound and his newest development, Atlantic Fields. PBI recently sat down with Meldman to talk about this project and more. (discoverylandco.com)

PBI: What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned across your business career?

Meldman: Founding Discovery has been a fun and wild ride. Every experience and new region we’ve entered has been unique and taught me so much, and I’ve used those lessons as building blocks for each new project. Looking back, the most important lesson I’ve learned has been that your relationships are your greatest asset. Partnering with the right people on the right projects ensures an invaluable synergy that can be felt by your audience. Building community has always been at the forefront, and it’s important to me that our members find connection at our clubs. Our ability to curate communities of interesting people, from varied backgrounds and various industries, allows members to make new friends and forge lasting relationships, which is something we pride ourselves on. It’s the commitment to authenticity and caring for people that I believe makes the strongest impact in delivering value to our communities.

Atlantic Fields is your newest development. What differentiates it from your other communities? Our newest community is always our best.

When we start a new project, we’re bringing with us everything we learned from the projects before. We’re always incorporating feedback from our members, and upgrading our practices, which is why vertical integration is so important for us. Having control of the design, construction, and operation of our clubs allows us to ensure that we don’t miss anything and always deliver the best of the best. As Discovery’s first full-scale development in Florida, Atlantic Fields stands out as one of the most distinctive communities in our portfolio. Spanning over 1,500 acres, it offers an unparalleled sense of space and scale.

Beyond its size, what makes Atlantic Fields truly special is the way it immerses members in experiences—whether through golf, equestrian pursuits, or connection to the surrounding natural landscape—crafted with Discovery’s signature modern touch. The property encompasses the historic Hobe Sound polo grounds, allowing us

to honor a rich local heritage while creating new experiences for our members. With thoughtfully designed amenities and programming, Atlantic Fields promises to become one of the most engaging and amenity-focused clubs in the Discovery portfolio.

What’s next for Mike Meldman?

Discovery’s continuing to grow in new markets and corners of the world, so there’s always something exciting on the horizon. As we expand, we’re often entering regions where we stand as one of one. We’re bringing a new way of living to these destinations and that’s a challenge that always excites us. Our team has been together for a long time, and so each new location benefits from our learned experiences as we push the boundaries for what a luxury community and golf course can be. We continue to set the bar for luxury real estate, and at the moment, we’re focused on expanding into the Middle East and Asia.

MCKEE BOTANICAL GARDEN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ROCHELLE WOLBERG CELEBRATES THE GARDEN’S

PAST WHILE PLANNING FOR ITS FUTURE

BY PAIGE BOWERS

As executive director of McKee Botanical Garden in Vero Beach, Rochelle Wolberg wants to elevate it from being a treasured local jungle garden with acclaimed collections of orchids and water lilies to one that is nationally known.

“This was designed to bring the visitor out of the mundane and into the wonder of a jungle setting,” Wolberg says of the garden, which turns 100 in 2026. “Now it’s about how we can celebrate this tropical landscape and keep it relevant.”

Part of that involves making sustainable improvements to the 18-acre property, such as energy and illuminating infrastructure and trails that can accommodate 150,000 visitors a year. It also entails enhancing its programming to highlight the garden’s many horticultural treasures. In November, the garden will mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of its reopening with a dynamic program that includes contemporary installations by Graphic Rewilding that were previously featured at the New York Botanical Garden, as well as a showcase of sculptures by the artistic couple Gillie and Marc. A commemorative book on McKee, to be published by Rizzoli, will also be released in conjunction with the celebration.

Wolberg’s journey to the helm of McKee in January 2024 was nontraditional, she admits, in large part because she has no background in horticulture. Nor does she have a green thumb like her maternal grandparents, who owned a 200-acre coconut farm in the Philippines, and mother, who grew dramatic dahlias and vibrant sunflowers.

“[Having a green thumb] skips generations,” says Wolberg, who worked as a school psychologist at Palm Beach Day Academy (PBDA)

after moving to the area with her husband in 2006. During her tenure at PBDA, Wolberg established a museum partnership program that paired local museums and other attractions with schoolchildren from various grades. The second graders were paired with Mounts Botanical Garden of Palm Beach County and loved it, she says. Three years later, the education manager at Mounts was leaving and asked Wolberg if she’d be interested in the job.

Within a year of having Wolberg on staff, Mounts was hosting five times more students than it was before. After being promoted to curator director, Wolberg became instrumen-

tal to Mounts’ growth and visibility, working on installations like the pink lifeguard tower made from orchids for a Tourism of the Palm Beaches campaign at Hudson Yards in New York City. When McKee’s executive director retired, recruiters targeted Wolberg as the replacement, seeing in her someone who could shepherd the garden through its centennial and plan for its future, while sharing its daily delights with others.

“One of our historic orchids bloomed for the first time in about two years, so that was really awesome,” Wolberg says. “I will take that as an auspicious sign.” (mckeegarden.org) «

Just east of the bridge, Plaza Del Mar is a locals’ hub. Grab elevated Asian fusion at Thaikyo Asian Cuisine (thaikyoasian. com) or join the weekend crowd at John G’s Restaurant (johngs.com), a beloved institution known for generous breakfast and lunch portions and zero pretense. Treat yourself at Ice Cream & Yogurt Club (icecreamclub.com), a sweet outpost of a large local ice cream outfit dating to 1982; the Southeast’s leading manufacturer and distributor of premium parlorstyle ice cream was the first store to open in Plaza Del Mar along Florida’s famous Route A1A. (plazadelmarshopping.com)

Anchoring the island end, Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa is a destination worth checking out—or checking in. Even better, two of the resort’s top attractions, the Eau Spa and Nobu Manalapan, are open to the public. Following smaller pop-ups in recent seasons, Nobu offi cially opened in the space formerly occupied by Polpo Palm Beach.

HIDDEN TREASURES

THE FACTORS AT PLAY WHEN ASSESSING THE VALUE OF COLLECTIBLES AND MEMORABILIA

BY SEBASTIAN CLARKE AND KATHERINE VAN DELL

In November 2025, three brothers cleaning out their late mother’s San Francisco home made an extraordinary discovery in the attic: a pristine 1939 copy of Superman No. 1, tucked inside a cardboard box. Their mother had purchased it for just 10 cents when she was a child. The city’s cool climate had preserved the book—which had spent decades beneath old newspapers—in near-mint condition, culminating in a recordbreaking $9.12 million sale at auction.

Just a year earlier, in December 2024, another cultural artifact shattered records when the original ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz sold for $32.5 million at Heritage Auctions. A thief had stolen them from the Judy Garland Museum in 2005, foolishly believing the sequins were real rubies. They were recovered in an FBI sting in 2018 and returned to their owner, later becoming the most expensive piece of movie memorabilia ever sold.

High-value discoveries aren’t limited to pop culture. In January 2025, a 1927-D Saint Gaudens Double Eagle $20 gold coin sold for $3.84 million.

While you may not uncover a multimilliondollar treasure in your garage—especially in the unforgiving Florida climate—you might be sitting on a valuable collectible. Coins and currency, sports memorabilia, comics, entertainment artifacts, and trading cards, led by the explosive Pokémon market, continue to make headlines. Across all categories, value is driven by three critical factors: rarity, provenance, and condition.

For sports memorabilia and trading cards, professional grading is essential. Reputable

grading services authenticate items, evaluate condition, and encase them in protective holders, issuing a numerical grade that establishes credibility and preserves long-term value.

Grading companies such as Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) use a strict one to 10 scale, where even the slightest imperfection can result in dramatic price differences. A prime example is the 1979 O-Pee-Chee Wayne Gretzky rookie card. In PSA 10 condition, the card has a record price of $1.3 million at auction (to date, only two are known to exist). That same card graded PSA 9 typically sells for between $135,000 and $140,000.

may warrant closer attention.

Coins and paper currency are graded on the Sheldon Scale, which ranges from one to 70. Grades from 60 to 70 represent “mint state” for coins or “new” for currency, indicating the item never entered circulation. Even a microscopic scratch or a single fold can cut the value in half. Loose coins and paper money stored casually often hold limited value; the same items protected in sleeves

For entertainment memorabilia, rarity and documented use are paramount. Photomatching objects to specific films or productions can dramatically strengthen provenance. Iconic pieces like the ruby slippers will always command premium prices, while smaller props remain accessible to many collectors.

Headline-making finds may be rare, but they underscore a simple truth: extraordinary value can hide in plain sight. Before dismissing what’s stored in a shoebox, it may be worth having an expert take a closer look. History shows that with such evaluation, yesterday’s keepsakes can become today’s treasures. «

BEATLES ON THE BEACH FINDS A NEW HOME AND WELCOMES A SUPERSTAR HEADLINER

BY JUDY ALEXANDRA DIEDWARDO

The music gods will smile upon Boca Raton March 12-15 for the sixth annual Beatles on the Beach classic rock festival, which will celebrate the sixty-second anniversary of the Beatles’ arrival in America with a citywide lineup of Beatles-themed events and interactive experiences.

While Beatles on the Beach has taken place in Delray Beach since it launched in 2019, festival producer Daniel Hartwell of United We Rock explains that the event’s growth necessitated the move. “It was time to spread the love,” he says. “Boca Raton is the ideal place— vibrant, creative, and full of heart, just like the music of the Beatles, which reflects the universal spirit of connection that music brings.”

Headlining this year’s celebration is

Academy Award–winning actor Morgan Freeman and his internationally acclaimed Symphonic Blues Experience, which will take the Mizner Park Amphitheater stage March 14.

“I appreciate the opportunity to educate and share the blues tradition with younger audiences in a way that helps them truly understand the roots of this music,” Freeman says.

In his Symphonic Blues Experience, Freeman narrates the history, culture, and legacy of the blues alongside cinematic visuals and live performances by artists from the Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, Mississippi, a venue he co-owns with business partner Eric Meier. For his Boca Raton concert, he will be accompanied by a 30-piece orchestra from the Palm Beach Symphony.

“It’s a musical experience of American history rooted in the blues,” Freeman adds. “The blues comes from the most basic, visceral expression of humanity. It’s soulful music, and I’m a music lover.”

Festival highlights will also include performances by top Beatles tribute bands, a Ringo Starr art exhibition featuring rare and exclusive works by members of the Beatles, and lively contests where fans can dress as their favorite Beatle, rock star, or icon from the 1960s and ’70s for prizes and photo ops. The celebration continues with a Beatles-themed bar crawl complete with signature drinks at local hot spots. Proceeds from the weekend will benefit the United We Rock Foundation, supporting its mission to transform lives through the power of music. (beatlesonthebeach.com) «

Describe your design aesthetic. My design language is rooted in the refined elegance of vintage jewelry, with a lasting homage to the architectural formalism of Art Deco. Each creation is conceived for the modern woman and designed to feel individual and personal, intended to be collected and worn over time. Every Martin Katz jewel is handcrafted with precision, created as a singular, unique work or in limited, signed, and numbered editions. I focus carefully on refinement, artistic nuance, and exceptional gemstones, so each piece balances beauty with wearability, refinement revealed through thoughtful detail rather than overstatement.

What is the Grand Prix de la Haute Joaillerie in Monaco?

[It was] conceived as an international celebration and homage to the world’s most exceptional high-jewelry maisons—honoring craftsmanship, creativity, and artistic excellence at the highest level. Being invited to participate in the inaugural edition this October, as the only independent American designer, was an extraordinary moment in my journey as a jewelry designer.

The event was co-founded by the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer group, under the leadership of Stéphane Valeri, president and CEO of Monaco’s historic luxury hospitality group and largest private employer, alongside Jean-Philippe Braud, a leading French luxury consultant. This first-ever event brought together 11 of the world’s most prestigious high-jewelry houses— including Anna Hu, Boucheron, Bulgari, Chanel, Chopard, Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Messika, Tiffany & Co., and myself—for an elegant exhibition and black-tie gala.

ers of haute joaillerie, is a privilege

To share my creations on such a stage, surrounded by master designers of haute joaillerie, is a privilege and a beautiful reminder of why we create: to provoke the senses, inspire emotion, and delight. I have always believed that high jewelry is an art form—an expression of voice, vision, and individuality.

REAL TALK WITH...

Martin Katz

What pieces did you showcase?

The renowned jeweler to the stars dishes on his aesthetic, accomplishments, and favorite gems

BY KATHERINE LANDE

I presented four one-of-a-kind creations: a fancy bluish-pink oval sapphire ring centered on a magnificent 33-carat unheated sapphire; pinwheel diamond earrings accented with no-oil Colombian emeralds, the rarest and most prized of all emeralds; an emerald-cut blue topaz ring; and a matched pair of diamond bow pins, each meticulously set with over 2,000 diamonds. Each of these pieces reflects my enduring passion for exceptional gemstones, expressive color, sculptural form, and uncompromising craftsmanship—elements that are intrinsic to my design philosophy.

What is your favorite material or stone to work with?

Brazilian Paraiba tourmalines have long held a singular fascination for me. Their extraordinary color—ranging from luminous seagreen to the rarest electric “Windex Blue”—recalls the crystalline waters of Bora Bora. With Brazil’s original mines now exhausted, these stones have become among the most coveted gemstones in the world. What distinguishes them is their unmistakable inner luminosity, an almost neon energy that appears to radiate from within.

I am equally drawn to exceptional colored gemstones of strong character—untreated sapphires, no-oil Colombian emeralds prized for their depth and individuality, and fancy-colored diamonds, including pinks, yellows, and rich cognac tones often known as “Desert Diamonds.” Each is chosen for its rarity, presence, and the singular personality it brings to a jewel.

My first (and favorite) thing to do every morning is check out the endless parade of wildlife at the water’s edge in our backyard. At any given moment, it’s possible to spot roseate spoonbills, great herons, wood storks, ducks, turtles, and more.

If a morning ritual sets the tone for the day, it’s no wonder I zip around like a dervish (thanks, Nespresso). On weekends, I embrace a quieter, gentler routine that sometimes involves these fun “ritual” bangles. The idea is to stack them, setting an intention or repeating an affirmation for each one you slip on. Every tinkle throughout the day is a reminder of whatever you want for yourself.

DR. RIAN MAERCKS, FOUNDER OF THE MAERCKS INSTITUTE

The New Standard of Beauty is Subtle but Profound

Dr. Rian Maercks, Founder of The Maercks Institute, is redefining facial rejuvenation at the highest level by approaching the face through a medically grounded, anatomically driven framework rather than cosmetic alteration. His work attracts a discreet, global clientele who understand that true luxury lies in restraint. The results are precise, balanced, and virtually undetectable. Faces that appear refreshed, not altered proving Dr. Maercks work is subtle but profound.

At the core of his practice is the MAERCKS Lift™, a composite deep plane facelift developed to restore the face from within. Powered by his proprietary KEDGE Suspension™, a ligament based internal support system, the MAERCKS Lift™

rebuilds the face’s internal framework rather than relying on surface tightening. Facial tissues are repositioned along anatomically correct vectors, restoring harmony, stability, and longevity without tension or visible surgical signatures.

For select patients, these innovations are delivered through the Zero Experience™ pathway, an advanced surgical protocol performed wide awake under local anesthesia with zero general anesthesia, zero pain, near zero downtime and zero telltale signs of surgery. This approach allows for complex surgical outcomes while maintaining the highest standard of technical rigor and aesthetic control.

With locations in Miami and East Hampton, The Maercks Institute has become a private destination for individuals who travel internationally in pursuit of refinement, discretion, and enduring beauty. In a world increasingly defined by excess, Dr. Rian Maercks represents a quieter, rarer standard; one where subtlety signals status and beauty speaks for itself.

The Maercks Institute is located at 3050 Biscayne Blvd, PH 1 & 2, Miami, FL and 66 Newtown Ln, East Hampton, NY. Call 305.328.8256 to schedule a consultation. Visit www.themaercksinstitute.com and follow The Maercks Institute journey @ themaercksinstitute.

YOUR PASSPORT TO THE MOST FASCINATING CORNERS OF THE GLOBE

WANDERLUST

TRUE NORTH

EXPLORE THREE SCANDINAVIAN DESTINATIONS SHAPED BY LIGHT, LANDSCAPE, LONG-STANDING TRADITIONS, AND MODERN SURPRISES

BY SKYE SHERMAN

From design-forward Nordic capitals to the edge of the Arctic world, Scandinavia rewards travelers who brave the journey north. Here, the good life is rooted in nature, art, architecture, and togetherness,

shaped by long winters that have taught inhabitants how to harness light and warmth in ways that radiate no matter the season. Read on as we spotlight three destinations to include on your next Scandinavian itinerary.

Characterized by jagged peaks and turquoise waters, Norway’s Lofoten Islands are nestled north of the Arctic Circle.

JOURNEYS

Stockholm and Surrounds

Begin your journey in Sweden’s refined capital. In fact, go straight from the plane to anywhere with a cappuccino and kanelbullar, a traditional Swedish cinnamon bun. Aptly nicknamed “the Venice of the North,” Stockholm is built across 14 islands connected by bridges where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea. Between the striking architecture and famously fashionable locals, it’s a city to be strolled on foot, ideally along the abundant waterfront.

The best place to start is Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s Old Town. The city’s original settlement hearkens back to the thirteenth century, with cobblestone streets that wind through ocher buildings dating to the Middle Ages. It’s easy to while away hours here, ducking into small boutiques, rambling the squares, or stumbling upon pocket restaurants like Augustas Folksalong (instagram.com/augustas. folksalong), which serves authentic Swed-

ish moose meatballs so good, you may just return twice. Convince your dining companion to order the öländska kroppkakor—a beloved potato dumpling dish with mushrooms, browned butter, and lingonberry—and share.

When playtime calls, hit Stockholm highlights like the world’s oldest open-air museum, Skansen (skansen.se), or the Vasa Museum (vasamuseet.se), which houses the only (almost) fully intact seventeenth-century ship that has ever been salvaged, a 64-gun warship that sank on her maiden voyage in 1628.

As much as Stockholm proper has to offer, there’s a gem on the outskirts that’s worth the train and taxi. The original yoga influencer, Rachel Brathen—better known as Yoga Girl to her 2 million Instagram followers—opened Ala Gård (instagram.com/ala_ farms) last summer, a sweet spot for fika, the popular Swedish version of a coffee or tea break with something sweet. Go to dine, shop, greet the cows and sheep (and maybe even Brathen and her family), or just read a book on a blanket in the grass, assuming you’re visiting around Sweden’s Midsummer.

If, like a savvy Euro traveler, you plan to take the über-clean, über-convenient SJ train (sj. se) to your next stop in Oslo, then the Nordic Light Hotel (nordiclighthotel.com) is an excellent home base. It is nestled around the corner from the train platforms, making arriving, departing, and exploring the city easy. The hotel

sports contemporary Nordic sensibilities like minimalist rooms and suites, and is home to the lively Lykke lobby restaurant, envisioned by designer John Tong, architect Todd Saunders, and a team of Nordic designers.

Oslo

Another hotel conveniently situated next to the central train station, Thon Hotel Opera (thonhotels.com) is perfect for a short stay in Norway’s cool capital, especially if your main goals are to dine on fresh Norwegian salmon (a must) and visit the iconic Oslo Opera House (operaen.no) and the Deichman Bjørvika library (deichman.no/bibliotekene), both of which are just across the street.

While the oldest and largest public library in Norway features architecture by Lundhagem Arkitekter in collaboration with Atelier Oslo, the real draw is inside—and that includes the fascinating Future Library

(futurelibrary.no), which is equal parts public art, silent contemplative room, and literary time capsule. It contains manuscripts by authors like Margaret Atwood that will remain unpublished for 100 years, not to be read until 2114.

Museums, fortresses, and parks also abound in Oslo, but the best adventures await on the other side of a series of short flights by tiny Widerøe airline (wideroe.no)

Lofoten Islands

There’s a reason the Lofoten Islands, a remote archipelago above the Arctic Circle in far-northern Norway, top many a travel-inspo vision board; the area offers a ton to do in a stunning setting complete with fishing villages, dramatic mountains, and waters that range from deep navy to so clear blue they look Caribbean in parts.

While wintertime sees the area blanketed in snow, during the summer and early fall, visitors can hike, kayak, and even surf in relatively mild temperatures. Cod fishing is another unique Lofoten activity, as is witnessing the famous midnight sun phenomenon from late May to mid-July. You can even golf during this unique time at Lofoten Links (lofotenlinks.no). Easily one of the most mind-blowingly beautiful places to putt, Lofoten Links is ranked 66 on Golf Magazine’s list of the top 100 courses in the world and open

for middle-of-the-night rounds while the sun keeps the course illuminated.

You do, of course, have to sleep at some point. When in Lofoten, there’s no better place to rest your head—and spend your days cozying up with a stunning view, very hygge—than Lyngvær Lodges (lyngvarlodges.com). These

privately owned and professionally managed luxury lodges feature calm, understated interiors with massive windows that let the impressive outdoors do the talking. Fully equipped kitchens, heated floors, and an indoor sauna will tempt you to remain inside all day, but do step out to sink into the Jacuzzi at least. If you’re lucky, you can soak as the mesmerizing northern lights glow and dance above you.

If cold plunges are more your speed, at Lyst Lofoten Sauna (lystlofoten.no) in Svolvær you can rotate between swimming in the icy Vestfjord and roasting in the multilevel floating sauna for as many rounds as it takes to feel like a real Norwegian.

When hunger strikes, refuel with a reindeer steak and small plates at Låven (hovgard.no/en/laven-restaurant). At this barn restaurant, unassuming farm-chic interiors and a roaring fireplace present a cinematic backdrop for the menu of finely handled

local ingredients that changes with the seasons—and the chefs’ whims.

Another Lofoten must is the Brim Explorer Trollfjord cruise (brimexplorer.com), where sighting white-tailed sea eagles is somehow topped by the main event: the fjord itself. The four-hour cruise brings passengers all the way into the narrow, steep natural wonder on a hybrid-electric boat built just for sightseeing. The magnificent views cement once and for all what you already suspected: visiting Lofoten is well worth the lengthy trip north. «

Lyngvær Lodges are outfitted with

and private Jacuzzis, from which you can savor all the natural splendor Norway has to offer.

GENERATIONAL JUMBY

RARE IS THE PRIVATE ISLAND THAT CATERS TO BOTH COUPLES AND FAMILIES WITHOUT COMPROMISE

BY PAUL RUBIO

Jumby Bay Island off Antigua has always operated with intentional duality. Its recorded history dates to the seventeenth century, when the island was gifted to the Duke of Carlisle and later passed through successive colonial ownership. For centuries, it has existed as both retreat and residence. Today, as part of the esteemed Oetker Hotels collection, the island runs two distinct experiences in parallel. One is concentrated on Jumby Bay Beach, where couples luxuriate steps from the water, mov-

ing easily between sea, shade, and dining at low-profile, sea-facing cottages. The other stretches across the island’s perimeter, where villas and estates are designed for families and multigenerational groups, prioritizing space, staffing, and the logic of staying put rather than passing through.

The island’s resort side lives entirely across the breathtaking blues of Jumby Bay Beach. All 40 rooms and suites are clustered on this long, west-facing stretch of sand. Buildings are single-story and restrained, so the beach—not the architecture—sets the tone. Rooms open directly toward the turquoise sea, with high-beamed ceilings, expansive terraces, outdoor soaking tubs, and private pools in the upper categories. You don’t cross the island to begin your day; instead, the beach

nearly begins where your room ends. Dining on Jumby Bay Beach is purposefully concentrated. Breakfast and dinner happen at The Veranda, where Parisianperfect pastries change daily and themed nights lean into Antiguan and West Indian cooking. Genny’s Bar, a thatched hut just off the sand, keeps Taittinger flowing throughout the day, with small plates designed for eating between swims (try the jerk shrimp tostada). The Sand Bar fills the remaining hours with sushi and light intercontinental fare. Minibars are well-stocked and replenished daily, reinforcing Jumby’s “unlimited island inclusions” approach (in other words: top-notch all-inclusive). Overall, this westerly side of the island promises primo resort-style trappings in close reach—and minimal decision-making. The island’s second identity begins beyond the perimeter of Jumby Bay Beach. Along secluded swathes and coves sit 56 private estates and villas, the majority of which are available to rent. This is where Jumby becomes a functional family destination.

JOURNEYS

These are fully staffed residences with chefs, housekeepers, and laundresses; private pools and direct beach access are standard. Families operate independently while still being privy to the island’s restaurants, activities, and shared spaces.

The clearest expression of this is the Lost Puffin estate. Designed on a single plane overlooking Pasture Beach—a known hawksbill turtle nesting area from June through November—the seven-bedroom

masterpiece sleeps up to 20. Every bedroom faces the same view, and each has its own outdoor shower and soaking tub. A pizza oven and generous communal areas facilitate group living without forcing it, allowing grandparents, parents, and children to share space without fragmenting into separate wings.

Island-wide programming is available to all guests, but it runs especially deep for families. Children sail Optimists, Lasers, and catamarans through an on-island sailing school, while a marine biology program focuses on coral regeneration and sea turtle conservation. Numerous tennis courts spread across the property eliminate competition for court time between players of different age levels. Bikes and golf carts give all generations (including older children) independence while keeping everything contained.

Between these two sides lies the island’s connective tissue. The interior remains deliberately pastoral, with rolling meadows home to Persian black-headed sheep descended from stock dating back to the 1700s. They appear everywhere—from slippers and tote bags to do-not-disturb signs—functioning as a visual shorthand for the island itself. Nearby, a historic sugar mill still stands, a reminder that Jumby’s current operation

grew out of something far more utilitarian. Then there’s the Estate House, a restored nineteenth-century plantation manor that now serves as a flagship restaurant.

In this vein, attention to detail shows up often throughout a stay. Upon check-in, guests are greeted with Antiguan pineapples in nearly every form imaginable: pineapple smash punch, upside-down cake, skewers, pâte de fruit, and baskets of the dainty micro-pineapples. At night, hand-painted shells depicting island life are placed on pillows at turndown. None of it is framed as a moment. It simply happens, every day.

Recent updates uphold both island identities. A rebuilt fitness center and refreshed spa—focused on massage rather than elaborate menus—reopened in early 2026, while Little Jumby, a neighboring islet reached by boat, adds a beach club escape where guests can spend full days swimming, eating, and staying within Jumby’s orbit.

Beyond its natural beauty, Jumby Bay Island offers something rarer: clarity. Couples get a concentrated beach experience without friction. Families get space, staff, and systems that support how they actually travel. Managing both without compromise is uncommon for a private island. Yet Jumby does it—decisively.

FLORIDA KEYS CASTAWAY

EXPERIENCE A KEYS-BORN TWIST ON THE OVERWATER BUNGALOW

BY PAUL RUBIO

While you’ll still need to venture to distant atolls for the classic overwaterbungalow fantasy, the Florida Keys now offers a beguiling taste of that dream—no passport required. Stay Ombi, a trio of stand-alone suites rising from the shallows off Key Largo, trades tropical extravagance for something more restrained and closer to nature. Think of it as a pared-back spin on the far-flung floating villa: unconventional, design-forward, and unlike anything else stateside.

The experience begins with a brief boat ride from Snook’s Bayside Restaurant in Key Largo (MM 99.5). In minutes, the waterfront bustle disappears, replaced by mangroves and calm, emerald water. As the shoreline fades,

three thatched-roof structures emerge—solarpowered, widely spaced, and drifting gently with the tide. Each rests on its own floating platform, wrapped by a deck that opens to the water on both sides, creating an immediate sense of being untethered yet secure.

Inside, the layout is compact but intentional. A king bed faces a broad picture window, with a daybed tucked just beneath. A concealed television lowers from the ceiling at the touch of a button, and air-conditioning powers on when the Keys heat builds. Behind the headboard, you’ll find kitchen essentials and more: a sleek Frigidaire, microwave, Keurig machine, and storage shelves. The bathroom setup includes a spacious shower and a separate water closet. Once you settle in, the natural world takes over. Accordion-style doors fold back to dissolve the barrier between indoors and out. The surrounding water is shallow and still. Mangrove

islands shelter manatees, cormorants skim the surface, and dolphins appear with little fanfare. Every direction feels cinematic, wild, and full of possibility. A ladder drops straight into the water for quick dips or relaxed floating, while paddleboards and kayaks make it easy to wander through the environs and meet the local wildlife.

Though Stay Ombi provides continental breakfast items, coffee pods, and the option to pre-stock groceries, it isn’t a traditional resort. Bring your favorite snacks and drinks— and let the rest unfold. Dinner from Snook’s can be delivered by boat nightly, and even en-suite massages can be arranged. When in doubt, a simple text to the Stay Ombi team results in anything from extra towels to resupplies of ice. High-speed Starlink keeps you connected, though the setting makes screens feel almost irrelevant.

Overwater excitement notwithstanding, Stay Ombi isn’t trying to mimic a destination like Bora-Bora. Its appeal is rooted in its unspoiled authenticity—water stretching out in soft greens, magnificent mangroves housing both land and sea creatures, and the sensation of being marooned in a secret corner of the Florida Keys. It’s overwater glamping with a sense of place, a gentle reminder of how satisfying life can be when you allow nature to set the pace. (stayombi.com) «

GREEN HORNET

BY HOWARD WALKER

I’ve never considered myself a Corvette cognoscente. I still get flummoxed by the alphabet soup of designations, model numbers, and engine differentiations served across the car’s near-75-year history. However, over the decades, I’ve driven my fair share of America’s favorite sports car.

So, excuse me for being so bold, but I’d like to nominate the 2026 Corvette E-Ray convertible as the finest, most appealing, most accomplished, most fun-driving, and simply the best ’Vette yet. Believe me, it’s that good.

How come? It is the very first Corvette with handling-enhancing all-wheel drive and an electrified powertrain. Yes, it’s a hybrid, though not like a Prius. An electric

motor at the front combined with a hairychested 6.2-liter V8 in the back delivers a Kentucky Derby–like 655 horseys. When spurred, this corral of stampeding ponies can giddy up the E-Ray from standstill to 60 mph in a butt-clenching, gut-squeezing, eye-watering 2.5 seconds. That’s as fast as a 1,001-hp Bugatti Veyron.

Yet the real appeal of the E-Ray is that it’s not some hardcore supercar with the ride quality of a Publix shopping cart. This is a rocket ship suitable for daily driving, with magical steering, thrilling yet easy-to-tame handling, intuitive controls, and not one but two trunks for Trader Joe’s runs.

The price is also pretty attractive. While $108,600 for a base E-Ray may not sound like a bargain—especially compared to the $70,000 starting price of a regular C8 Corvette Stingray—consider its competition, including the McLaren Artura (which starts at around $248,000), Ferrari 296 GTB ($340,000), and new Lamborghini Temerario ($390,000).

Want more power in your Corvette? You could opt for the track-focused 670-hp Z06 (priced from $120,000) or the brutal 1,064hp ZR1 (from $185,000). But unless you really want to go to Top Gun flight school to extract their ultimate capabilities, their talents are going to be wasted. That’s why the E-Ray is such a gem.

Slide behind that funky but functional squared-off steering wheel, ignite the big V8, listen to that minor nuclear explosion as it fires up, and prepare for a shock-and-awe feeling akin to inserting your finger in a light socket. If you prefer not to wake your neighbors at 6 in the morning, you can engage Stealth mode and the E-Ray will use battery power to take you as far as 4 miles at speeds of up to 45 mph in zero-emission silence before engaging the big V8.

For grand touring, keep the drive-mode selector in Tour and the 8-speed dual-clutch automatic will shift with the smoothness of a Swiss watch movement. Dial Sport and everything gets ramped to 11. The mindboggling off-the-line acceleration, the midrange thrust, the way the car can slingshot out of a curve or on-ramp? Just amazing. That’s the benefit of having that electric motor on the front axle.

While the E-Ray has been around since

HOWARD WALKER

HIGH ROAD

2023, it got a welcome facelift for 2026 that addressed most of the mid-engined C8 ’Vette’s original cabin quirks. Gone is the silly fighter-jet row of switches down the center console, replaced by a meaty passenger grab handle. Climate controls are now proper analog switches, lined neatly beneath the center screen.

Like the base Stingray, the E-Ray is offered in 1LZ, 2LZ, and 3LZ trim levels as well as a

targa-topped coupe or power-folding convertible. Our tester was a 3LZ convertible costing $128,545; with $28,350 worth of options (you’ve got to love all that carbon-fiber trim and wheels), it topped out at an eye-watering $155,895. Not sure about that Kermit-like Roswell Green metallic paint though.

While loyal Corvette purists might argue that the standard targa-roofed version is all you need, I think the convertible’s power-

folding hardtop is worth every dime of its $4,500 asking price. It lowers in around 16 seconds—from the key fob—and at speeds of up to 30 mph. With the glass wind deflector raised, turbulence in the cockpit is almost nonexistent, even at triple-digit velocities.

It all adds up to one of the most appealing sports cars out there, and arguably the best all-around Corvette ever. You can even boast to friends that you’re driving a hybrid. «

PURSUIT’S BRAND-NEW S 388 SPORT LUXURY CENTER CONSOLE OFFERS SPACE, GRACE, AND A LOT OF PACE

BY HOWARD WALKER

Who didn’t love the 2006 tearjerker The Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith playing an aspiring stockbroker down on his luck? Spoiler alert: it’s a true story with a very happy ending.

Pursuit Boats in Fort Pierce should take inspiration from that movie title when it comes to marketing its new S 388 Sport center console. Maybe call it the Pursuit 388 of Happyness.

That’s because any day spent aboard this well-thought-out, 41-foot, fisher-cum-luxury family cruiser is guaranteed to be a happy one. How could it not be? Feel the thrust of triple Yamaha 450 XTOs, watch the speedo climb to the 388’s top speed of around 60 mph, enjoy the smooth, wave-slicing ride

from its enhanced hull design.

The S 388 replaces Pursuit’s successful S 378 Sport introduced in 2020. To come up with the redesign, the company called in a bunch of S 378 owners to create a wish list of changes and improvements. At the top of the list was a bigger, more versatile cockpit. Pursuit’s designers answered with a rejigged cockpit that’s 8 inches longer than before. It features a cool outdoor kitchen—nestled in a new space behind the helm seats—with an electric grill, sink, and fridge.

ed with a staggering 93 percent increase. Now pretty much every surface has a cubby, locker, drawer, cutout, cupholder, or bin.

Take the rear-facing cockpit lounger. The seat back is split into three, with each section flipping down to reveal storage for all sorts of fishing gear. On the transom, there’s now a huge chill box with a 30-gallon live well alongside.

There was also a request for a little more storage throughout the boat, working off the premise that a boat, any boat, can never have enough places to store “stuff.” Pursuit respond-

And right there is what Pursuit calls “the most comfortable fold-away cockpit seat in the industry.” How come? As you fold down the seat, a connected cushioned backrest

rises. Very clever. Now insert the pedestal table in the cockpit floor, power open the canvas sunshade, and you have a wonderful dining area that works together with that rear-facing cockpit lounger. The entire cockpit is also fully air-conditioned. When I toured the boat at last fall’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, this was the area where I could picture myself hanging out.

That, or the helm, obviously. This is a terrific space, with three-across seating and a center steering position, a redesigned dash with 16-inch Garmin screens, and fabulous quality and attention to detail.

Stroll around the extra-wide, extra-deep walkway to the bow, and there’s a big lounger and wraparound seating, all upholstered in diamondquilted marine vinyl.

For overnights on the hook or just escaping the midday sun, the S 388 has a surprisingly roomy cabin with a towering headroom, a galley with twin fridge-freezers, a 24-inch television, a spacious wet-room head, and two mini-sofas that convert to a double bed. And, as with the rest of the boat, there’s storage everywhere.

One other impressive feature is the amount of light flooding the cabin, largely a result of the windows on either side. Look out and they face similar-size, temperedglass hull windows that give a view of the water.

The base price of the S 388 Sport is just under $1 million. Want to personalize your craft? Pursuit’s website lists every option, along with the price. I spent an hour speccing out my dream S 388—I love that Artic Blue hull color—though I could have saved time by just checking all the boxes. A $2 million loaded S 388, however, might be excessive.

This is a great-looking center console, with tons of style and fantastic lines, plus those signature hull windows, swept-back windshield, and oversize hardtop. Whether you’re fishing or cruising, here’s a boat that is definitely going to help you in your “pursuit of happyness.” «

MR. FAU Comes Home

BY CAROLINA BUIA PHOTOGRAPHY BY BENJAMIN RUSNAK

FAdam Hasner is now at the helm of the Boca Raton university he has long championed or Adam Hasner, Florida Atlantic University (FAU) has always been a part of his story—both professional and personal. Just over a mile from the school’s main campus in Boca Raton was where he met the love of his life, Jillian.

“We were both at a Boca Chamber event 22 years ago,” says Jillian. “On our first date, Adam took me to two bowls, the Gator Bowl and the Orange Bowl. I thought, this is a guy who is kind, wicked smart, and really loves sports.”

To wit, Hasner and his wife are often seen cheering at FAU’s football and basketball games. They’re also longtime fixtures at the school’s musical and theatrical performances.

When Hasner was appointed as the university’s eighth president in February 2025, it was a homecoming of sorts for the Palm Beach County kid who had for years used his political platform to shape FAU from a commuter school to a worldclass institution.

He attended college at the University of Maryland and interned for Congressman Tom Lewis (R) on Capitol Hill. As Hasner notes, working in the United States Congress was his ultimate goal, as his interest in politics was stoked early on.

“In high school, I served three years in a row as a page for the Florida Senate,” he says. “At 15, I knew that I wanted to be involved in public policy and public service.”

After college, Hasner earned a law degree from Florida State University and then worked in marketing, development, and acquisitions roles at two health care companies. Almost a decade later, he left to run for the Florida House of Representatives. He served for eight years (2002-2010) as a Republican state congressman representing southern Palm Beach County and northern Broward County, including two terms as House Majority Leader.

Upon fulfilling his term limit, Hasner went up against former West Palm Beach Mayor Lois Frankel for Florida’s twenty-second Congressional district seat. He lost and decided to leave the political arena, pivoting his expertise into insurance and government contracting roles, including serving as chief marketing and communications officer for People’s Trust Insurance and as executive vice president for public policy at The GEO Group, a government services contractor for private prisons and mental health facilities.

But Hasner’s time in Tallahassee left an indelible mark at FAU. His accomplishments included earmarking funds for FAU’s LEED Platinum–certified Engineering East Building and helping to establish the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine.

“There was not another medical school from Miami to Orlando,” recalls Hasner, whose office at FAU sits serendipitously close to the medical school. “That was probably the most transformational initiative that I championed. And now I get to look every day from my window at something that I helped create.”

Hasner was known to pull so hard for his local university while in office that his moniker around campus was Mr. FAU. “I’ve always been a part of this university’s culture and community,” he says. “And now, as president, it’s a full-circle moment.”

While some were initially skeptical about Hasner being an academic outsider, he has been quick to defend his intentions, skills, and results.

“When I applied to be the university’s president, I was very clear that I was not seeking this position to ever run for public office or go to another university. This is the pinnacle of my career,” he says. “Knowing the campus, the donor community, and the elected officials, I get to hit the ground running.” (The university’s latest fundraising drive—which spanned 10 years and ended in December—brought in north of $617 million from more than 60,000 donors.)

FAU, which has six campuses spread across 110 miles, has been on an upward trajectory in national rankings. It’s now a top 100 national public university (and top 30 in social mobility) according to U.S. News and World Report’s revered list; it’s thirty-ninth on Washington Monthly’s America’s Best Colleges for your Tuition (and Tax) Dollars list.

Last year, FAU earned an R1 Carnegie Designation, the nation’s most prestigious research accolade. R1 institutions on average spend at least $50 million on research and de-

velopment, and award at least 70 research doctorates a year, per the Carnegie Foundation. It’s a distinction bestowed upon fewer than 5 percent of more than 4,000 U.S. colleges and universities.

“A major benefit of having reached R1 status is that it puts us on the radar for the country’s best trainees and faculty candidates trying to de-

cide between us and other fine options, a true multiplier effect,” says Randy Blakely, PhD, executive director of FAU’s Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute. “President Hasner grasped, way before he came, that investing in the Institute would not only accelerate the research and training missions of FAU, but in a more profound way,

drive the creation of a ‘Brain Coast,’ where investments in brain science and medicine locally could impact the lives of those with brain disorders globally.”

Michael Hamper, a recent undergrad and masters alum from Palm Beach Gardens, chose FAU specifically for its research opportunities.

“As a junior, I was researching the treatment of cancer cells with novel marine compounds,” says Hamper. For his masters’ thesis, Hamper focused on the rare neurological condition that he himself suffers from, Kleine-Levin Syndrome (KLS). “The university was crucial in helping me obtain precious KLS serum samples. These helped me explore a potential autoimmune mechanism in the condition.”

Students from outside the county and state are paying attention to FAU’s success curve. The university has had a 40 percent year over year increase in out-of-state applications. In 2025, FAU’s undergraduate school saw its most competitive academic class ever, with approximately 57,000 applicants vying for only 4,300 seats. FAU was also awarded the Carnegie Opportunity designation, which means it enrolls a significant number of students from lower income backgrounds and historically underrepresented

populations who graduate with competitive wages and strong career outcomes. (Thirtyfive percent of FAU’s current undergraduate students are the first in their families to attend college.) The university also received the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification for 2026, which highlights an institution’s commitment to community engagement. With this recognition, FAU is now one of only 11 universities in the United States to achieve three Carnegie Foundation designations.

As first lady and a first-generation college student herself, Jillian Hasner has a personal investment in the college’s success. Before her current role, she was CEO of Take Stock in Children, a nonprofit organization that pairs underserved youth with adult mentors and college scholarships, serving more than 15,000 Florida students each year.

“Adam and I don’t have children of our own, but we always found ourselves surrounded by children and by students,” says Jillian. “When I was growing up, I never dreamed that I would get to have the experiences that I’ve had. My parents didn’t go to college; they came from rural Appalachia. I understand the first-gen experience, and I want parents to know that we are committed to having each student reach that finish line.”

As part of her work as first lady, Jillian is using her background to support her husband

on his new Presidential Mentorship and Career Internship Program, which pairs adult mentors from the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) and the Office of Alumni Engagement with undergraduate students.

“We have one of the largest OLLI programs in the country,” says Adam Hasner. “FAU was a pioneer in distance learning when it was founded in the 1960s. We recorded, televised, and beamed out classes.” Hasner plans to continue making OLLI a priority, vowing to strengthen its offerings to serve the broader community.

For FAU donor Charna Larkin, OLLI was a lifeline. She always dreamed of attending college, but there was simply no money. After a career in trade show production, Larkin—in her sixties—finally enrolled and graduated from Boston College. And when she moved to Boca Raton, she continued learning through OLLI.

“My husband and I took opera, painting, and political courses,” recalls Larkin. “It opened up our thinking and our lives.” At 97 and razor sharp, she might be the poster child for longevity through education.

Along with bringing OLLI and undergraduate students together, Hasner has also inaugurated the university’s first internship program in Washington, D.C.: Owls on the Hill. It’s a nostalgic nod to his own experiences on Capitol Hill.

“I applaud President Hasner for allowing students to observe the political process in

person and on the ground,” says Jeri Muoio, PhD, former Mayor of West Palm Beach and an adjunct instructor in the executive education program in FAU’s College of Business.

As with many university leaders, Hasner’s short tenure has not been immune from challenges and controversies. His advancement in the FAU board of trustees’ selection process (Hasner was one of three finalists, alongside Michael Hartline, dean of the College of Business at Florida State University, and John Volin, executive vice president of academic affairs and provost at the University of Maine) was met with protests from some students, who cited his lack of experience in higher education administration and his long career as a Republican lawmaker and executive in

FAU’s new president and first lady frequented FAU sporting events and theatrical productions prior to Hasner’s appointment in February 2025. FAU is home to a number of performance spaces, including the University Theatre, the Marleen Forkas Studio One Theatre, and the Carole and Barry Kaye Auditorium.

“

When I applied to be the university’s president, I was very clear that I was not seeking this position to ever run for public office or go to another university. This is the pinnacle of my career.”

the private prisons sector.

In July, just four months after Hasner took office in March and in accordance with a February 2025 directive from Governor Ron DeSantis, the Florida Atlantic University Police Department partnered with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through the 287(g) Program, which allows trained university police officers to enforce certain aspects of U.S. immigration law, to include detaining and questioning individuals suspected of immigration violations. This was met with more student protests in September.

In response to these protests, Hasner shares that “Florida Atlantic supports respectful engagement that contributes to a safe and productive academic environment. We con-

tinue to focus on student success and maintaining a campus environment where discourse remains constructive and consistent with the university’s policies.”

Marilyn Wallach, who along with her late husband gifted the university $20 million to build the new Kurt and Marilyn Wallach Holocaust and Jewish Studies building, believes Hasner is exactly what FAU needs. “Adam Hasner is a president who will not tolerate hate,” says Wallach. “You can only take out hate with love.” She hopes her namesake building will not only teach the lessons of the Holocaust but promote interfaith and interethnic understanding.

As the university’s first Jewish president, Hasner proudly affixed a blessed mezuzah

on his office’s doorframe. “I thought it was very important to let it be known that we were going to make FAU the safest and most welcoming campus for all students,” he says. “That meant we were going to have intellectual and viewpoint diversity, but in a safe and respectful environment, one in which civil discourse could proceed.”

In many ways, Hasner’s presidency is a continuation of a relationship decades in the making. Now charged with leading FAU into a new—and ambitious—chapter, he is betting that momentum, access, and a sense of mission can outweigh skepticism. Whether that wager pays off will help determine not just his legacy, but the future of a university still very much on the rise. «

BY PAIGE BOWERS | PHOTOGRAPHY BY CATHLEEN NAUNDORF

Gaze at a Cathleen Naundorf photograph and you will certainly see beautiful women in beautiful gowns posing in beautiful locations. But when you look a little closer, you will discover that her work is rooted in the fine art she studied, a passion for history, and a hope that there’s something bigger and better out there for us all.

Born in the East German town of Weissenfels in 1968, Naundorf was raised in a family of painters and musicians who nurtured her nascent gift for drawing. But the Naundorfs wanted to leave the Communist East German regime and join the rest of their family in West Germany. As a

result, the government treated them as criminals. Their accounts were frozen. Naundorf and her father were interrogated at various points in time. She was expelled from the school system and forbidden to attend the academy of beaux arts. They finally left on December 19, 1985, carrying only what they could on their way to freedom.

“We looked to America because my father said freedom and journalism are so important,” says Naundorf, explaining that the United States was a source of inspiration for her family at this time, as it represented the antithesis of what they experienced in East Germany. “When I got free, the first thing I did was become a member of Amnesty International, which was beginning its work for the freedom of Tibet.”

As Naundorf finished her studies in Munich, she became passionate about photography and eager to explore the world beyond her homeland. She worked as a travel photographer and journalist, living with and photographing indigenous people in places like Mongolia, Siberia, and Amazonia, and covering such luminaries as the Dalai Lama. Her photographs attracted the attention of famed fashion photographer Horst P. Horst, who grew up in the same town that she did.

“He told me I should try fashion,” Naundorf recalls. “At first, I wasn’t keen to do it. But when I saw Horst’s pictures, I realized that they were art, and that spoke to me.”

Horst became Naundorf’s mentor, and it’s easy to see why. There she was, a young woman from his hometown, who escaped an oppressive regime, and found her way into photography. Like him, she had a painterly approach to her work, and he believed her style would be a good fit for the world of haute couture.

After moving to Paris for love in the 1990s, Naundorf followed Horst’s advice. Condé Nast hired her to be a backstage photographer at fashion shows.

Naundorf (pictured above) curated inspiration for her book Women of Singular Beauty: Chanel Haute Couture in a private diary.

“All of the designers would ship me whatever I wanted, wherever I wanted it to be.”

“It was a fantastic time in fashion,” she shares. “And I began connecting with people like John Galliano and Jean Paul Gaultier, who loved what I did.”

Galliano and Gaultier were among the first designers to let Naundorf borrow dresses for her personal projects. When she began working with a large format analog camera to create sharper, more detailed photographs from individual sheets of film, she found that the fixed nature of the materials made her work feel more like the paintings she used to create. Each shot involved pre-planning, sketches, and the contours of a story Naundorf aimed to tell. As her work gained acclaim, more designers—including those at Chanel and Dior— opened their archives to her and told her to shoot whatever she found interesting.

“All of the designers would ship me whatever I wanted, wherever I wanted it to be,” says Naundorf, who divides her time between Paris and London. “They knew I would respect it and that I understood their style. When I put together a cast for a Chanel shoot, it was with people who embody a Chanel look. My respect for their look, their way of doing things is high, and that is why I have worked with all these designers.”

In 2018, Naundorf published Women of Singular Beauty: Chanel Haute Couture, featuring 100 exclusive photographs of the house’s collections, which she took over a 20-year period.

“These Chanel haute couture dresses were very fragile, but [Chanel’s heritage department] restored them just for me,” she says. “I spent a year reading everything I could about Coco Chanel to develop some special ideas for my shootings. I kept it all in my private diary—drawings, ideas, my correspondences and pictures for this project.”

Valentino Garavani, who passed away in January,

also admired Naundorf’s work, which is in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. She traveled with him for three years, shooting projects that have yet to be published.

“We talked so much about culture, fashion, behavior, sophistication, and the loss of it in this time,” she says. “But I don’t think that’s dying. It’s still there, it’s just not communicated in media. But it makes me sad to think about how Gaultier is finished and Lagerfeld, Armani, and Valentino are dead. What I’ve photographed is a special time and a part of history now.”

Naundorf’s hard-won freedom enabled her to capture this work, some of which is on display in Palm Beach at the Jennifer Balcos Gallery through March. Called “La Parisienne,” the show features both silver gelatin and chromogenic prints—some of the singular images that have cemented Naundorf’s status as a photography icon.

VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE JEWELRY FROM ICONIC AND INFLUENTIAL HERITAGE HOUSES APPEAL TO THOSE WHO LOVE THE ETHOS, AESTHETIC, AND CRAFTSMANSHIP OF A BYGONE ERA—AS WELL AS THOSE SEEKING AN APPRECIABLE COLLECTIBLE

Louis-François Cartier, founder of the maison that bears his name, is said to have lived by the mantra: “Never imitate, always innovate.” Innovation would become the firm’s guiding principle—but Cartier’s genius was never about abandoning the past. Rather, it lay in weaving history into modernity: reviving age-old motifs, color palettes, architectural principles, and textiles; reimagining ancient patterns, storybook gemstones, and Indiana Jones–esque objects; and transforming them into designs that felt at once timeless and groundbreaking.

His sons—Louis, Pierre, and Jacques— honed this vision and brought it to the wider world, propelling Cartier onto the global stage in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They understood that style is cyclical, with each era rediscovering and reinterpreting what came before. Their creative genius, coupled with astute business acumen and a talent for cultivating relationships with royalty— whether royal by blood, wealth, or fame—was a delicate alchemy that cemented Cartier’s reputation as a house of enduring importance.

When considering the 178-year oeuvre of a firm like Cartier, one inevitably encounters the question of exemplarity. How might a particular era, stylistic element, or individual object be identified as most representative of a brand—perhaps surpassing all others in historical or collectible value? For the true connoisseur, this question is less about resolution than about pursuit—a pursuit that, for some, can last a lifetime.

It may come as a surprise that the term “vintage,” at least in the context of jewelry, refers to a piece that is more than approximately 25 but less than 100 years old. Which means that—to the shock and horror of millennials like myself—those late 1990s and early 2000s trends that feel like yesterday are, technically speaking, vintage. By the same standard, nothing less than a century old can be considered antique. But it does mean that, in 2026, pieces from the height of the Art

Deco period now qualify as antiques. Looking further back, beyond the twentieth century—which is, it’s safe to say, the most likely era one encounters when buying second-hand jewelry—can feel like a blur of loosely defined eras, imperial and geographic references, and trade terminology that can be difficult to grasp. Humanity has adorned itself since the dawn of time, but it’s worth considering this relatively brief timeline in light of a few truths. Jewelry, though not always made from

precious materials, has traditionally been val-

precious materials, has traditionally been valued for its rarity and refinement. Such rare and fine objects were long reserved for royalty or the elite as emblems of elevated social status. These materials also hold intrinsic value: gold and other precious commodities can be melted and reworked indefinitely, meaning many early pieces were dismantled, repurposed, or lost entirely over the centuries.

So, we return to the question of exemplarity: did one era surpass the rest in terms of creative output, beauty, or collectability? It depends on whom you ask. If you wish to remain objective, you might look to auctions. Auctions have long served as mirrors of demand. While they have inherent limitations as cultural barometers, they provide a transparent platform through which to assess value. As auction specialists, we constantly study recent results as indicators of the strength of current and future trends— and how those trends influence value—as well as other societal factors.

“Antique and vintage jewelry is currently experiencing a resurgence, gaining a new and

younger audience thanks in part to a number of celebrities and influencers,” says Natalie Betteridge, owner of Greenleaf & Crosby, the 130-year-old purveyor of estate and contemporary jewelry, located on Palm Beach’s Worth Avenue.

Betteridge points to Taylor Swift, whose engagement ring features an elongated, oldmine-cut diamond in a heritage-inspired gold mounting and comes at a critical time as labgrown specimens threaten the natural diamond market.

“The unique qualities of Swift’s ring have inspired a new generation of consumers to seek more well-worn items imbued with unique stories from the past to wear now,” Betteridge adds.

True connoisseurs of vintage and antique jewelry often seek designs from lesser-known, sometimes esoteric makers whose work is defined by a particular era or design style. While such pieces enjoy appreciation and perform well in the secondary market, they often appeal to a more niche audience. In today’s market, the most widespread and robust demand is for pieces signed by important makers— many of which are household names, such as Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany & Co., Bulgari, David Webb, and Harry Winston. These names consistently represent the pinnacle of auction results, as Angela Hedges, the New York City–based head of brand heritage, archives, and valuations at Harry Winston, can attest.

“Recent large, single-owner collections sold at auctions are far surpassing expectations,” Hedges says,

Above: Greenleaf & Crosby’s Estate Collection includes such vintage gems as this 1960s Boucheron necklace and bracelet set, featuring rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds. A famed French jewelry house, Boucheron was founded by Frédéric Boucheron in 1858. Right and below: Other Tiffany & Co. pieces featured in Frankenstein include the Wade necklace (made around 1900) and Starburst and Moon brooches.

noting that mid-century signed Winston pieces command strong interest and often achieve prices well above estimates. “These sales underscore not only the strong market demand but also the house’s diverse and experimental design range.”

While many houses have histories spanning the full spectrum from vintage to antique, a renewed focus on the jewelry of the late twentieth century is evident in both broad auction results and TikTok-fueled nostalgic references to ’90s chic. In stark contrast to the boldness of the 1980s, the 1990s represent a certain refinement—epitomized by the understated elegance of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. This

Georgian (circa 1714 to 1837): Handmade featuring naturalistic motifs, Rococo and neoclassical influences, closed-back settings, and foil-backed gemstones. High-karat gold and silver, often with rose-cut diamonds, garnets, topaz, and paste stones.

Victorian (circa 1837 to 1901): Romantic (1837 to 1860) includes sentimental motifs, hair jewelry, and secret compartments. Grand (1860 to 1880) features larger designs, bold gemstones, heavy gold, and mourning jewelry. Aesthetic (1880 to 1901) includes lighter designs with Japanese and Renaissance influences, and diamonds from new mining sources.

Belle Époque/Edwardian (circa 1890 to 1915): Elegant, lacy, and refined designs in platinum and diamonds. Delicate yet strong mountings. Motifs include bows, garlands, wreaths, and lace-like openwork.

Art Nouveau (circa 1890 to 1910): Artistic and nature-inspired with organic lines. Motifs include dragonflies, flowers,

peacocks, and female figures. Pliqueà-jour enamel, opals, moonstones, and horn with emphasis on artistry and symbolism over intrinsic material value.

Arts and Crafts (circa 1880 to 1920): Simple forms and natural motifs as well as cabochon-cut stones, silver rather than gold, and minimal ornamentation. Celebrates the maker’s hand and regional craftsmanship.

Art Deco (circa 1920 to 1939): Bold, geometric, and symmetrical designs reflect modernity and industrial progress. Linear patterns, contrasting gemstones, platinum, and onyx. Ancient Egyptian, Asian, and the Machine Age influences shape a sleek aesthetic.

Retro (circa 1939 to 1950s): Oversize designs featuring large, colorful, semiprecious stones and sculptural gold work. Ribbons, scrolls, and volutes dominate, evoking Hollywood glamour.

Second Half of the Twentieth Century (circa 1950 to 2000): The 1950s showcase sleek designs with midcentury elegance, femininity, and some Victorian aesthetics. The 1960s and ’70s feature playful experimentation, textured gold abstract forms, colorful gemstones, and the influence of pop art and space-age design. The 1980s are known for statement pieces, bold gold, oversize chains, and opulence. The 1990s shifted toward minimalism, understated luxury, and refined simplicity.

deeply restrained luxury resonates with today’s emphasis on ethical sourcing and minimal ecological impact, values embraced by a new and emerging class of buyers.

Provenance—whether a piece was owned by or associated with the great tastemakers of the last century—can have a significant impact on value. One example is the Van Cleef & Arpels Manchette cuff, which is among the firm’s most iconic designs. Inspired by Neil Armstrong’s 1969 lunar landing and the cratered surface of the moon, Van Cleef & Arpels seamlessly merged a widely celebrated American triumph with the free-form gold movement of the 1970s. These bracelets were favorites of style icons, most famously Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, who was photographed wearing a pair alongside Muhammad Ali in 1977. While Onassis’ original cuffs were sold as part of her estate in 1996, even examples not owned by her benefit from the association. In 2016, a pair owned by Nina Gore Auchincloss Steers Straight—Onassis’ stepsister— with serial numbers sequential to Onassis’ own, sold for $162,500 against an estimate of $40,000 to $60,000, proving the added value of celebrity provenance.

Part of the success of many storied brands lies in this exact ability to tap into the aesthetics of a generation and transform them into iconic objects of desire. Cartier’s Love bracelet, for instance, was devised in 1969 by Italian jewelry designer Aldo Cipullo after a breakup, as the story goes. The bracelet, designed intentionally not to slip over the hand like other bangles, separates into two pieces and requires another person’s help to secure it around the wrist with a miniature screwdriver that accompanies every bracelet. Initially presented to Tiffany & Co., the conservative house rejected the design—and

its subtext—as too unconventional. Cipullo then brought it to Cartier, where it was embraced and marketed under the slogan “Make Love, Not War.”

The Love bracelet remains Cartier’s most successful design some 56 years later. Early examples from the inaugural 1970 launch are signed by Cipullo and especially collectible. That Cipullo signature is generally an indication of age and authenticity—a critical concern, as the Love bracelet is among the most widely faked pieces in the world. Faux versions can be increasingly difficult to identify with confidence. In the realm of “super fakes” (extremely high-quality replicas), the Love bracelet is perhaps the most imitated, alongside Van Cleef & Arpels’ Alhambra designs. Many super fakes are sold with boxes, papers, and even forged receipts. This is why bona fide authentic pieces on the secondary market can command premiums comparable to retail prices. As always, it is essential to work with a trusted source—and while there may be a premium to purchasing directly from the boutique, doing so can be the best way to protect your investment.

Ultimately, whether your heart is set on Cartier or Van Cleef & Arpels, Art Deco or retro, vintage or antique, signed or unsigned, when buying jewelry on the secondary market, if the stars align and a piece is verifiably representative of the height of materials, aesthetics, industrial triumphs, cultural ethos, and creative minds of its era, then it is, by definition, important and collectible. This is why my advice to prospective bidders, buyers, connoisseurs, and enthusiasts is always the same: no matter your taste, seek out what most epitomizes the era or maker (or both) you desire. Set a budget. Buy the best you can afford. And most importantly—buy what you love. «

Van Cleef & Arpels has become synonymous with a number of memorable designs including Alhambra, an emblem of luck that debuted in 1968 and continues to be a bestseller, gracing

everything from rings to necklaces to bracelets. The Manchette cuff (inset) was inspired by the 1969 moon landing and was a favored accessory among many prominent celebrities and socialites.

In the late 1960s, Palm Beach was known the world over for its glamorous scene and vibrant social gatherings. Cocktails like the martini, mai tai, and grasshopper owed at the island’s many fashionable restaurants, hotels, and clubs. In honor of this era and Palm Royale, the Apple TV original series that recently concluded its second season, e Colony Hotel debuted a charming collaboration evocative of the exclusive world that social climber Maxine Dellacorte-Simmons (played by Kristen Wiig) so desperately tries to in ltrate. Here are ve drinks that capture the spirit and whimsy of the decade and the show.

Recipes and styling by JULES ARON Photography by ELINA

An early twentieth-century creation—and Palm Royale’s lead protagonist’s cocktail of choice—the grasshopper is an after-dinner drink known for its sweet, creamy flavor. A marriage of crème de menthe, crème de cacao, and cream, it is perfect for the flamboyant Maxine Dellacorte-Simmons.

Ingredients

1 oz. green crème de menthe

1 oz. white crème de cacao

1 oz. heavy cream Mint to garnish (optional)

Fill a shaker with ice. Add the crème de menthe, crème de cacao, and heavy cream. Shake vigorously until cold. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with mint.

“One simply must trust that the path to personal glory will reveal itself if one remains resolutely sunny.”

—Maxine Dellacorte-Simmons

A refined cocktail with roots in the 1920s, the sidecar combines citrus and Cognac for a luxurious sip. It’s just the right order for Evelyn Rollins and her commanding demeanor.

Ingredients

Sugar (for rimming the glass)

2 oz. Cognac

3/4 oz. Cointreau or triple sec

3/4 oz. lemon juice

Orange twist to garnish

Rim a cocktail glass with sugar. Fill a shaker with ice. Add the Cognac, Cointreau or triple sec, and lemon juice. Shake vigorously until chilled. Strain into the prepared glass. Garnish with an orange twist.

Born in the 1940s and popularized by tiki pioneers Trader Vic’s and Donn Beach, the mai tai’s complex flavors make it a fitting choice for Robert Diaz’s charming, layered personality.

Ingredients

1 1/2 oz. white rum

3/4 oz. orange curaçao

3/4 oz. lime juice

1/2 oz. orgeat syrup

1/2 oz. dark rum

Fresh mint to garnish

Fill a shaker with ice. Add the white rum, orange curaçao, lime juice, and orgeat syrup. Shake vigorously until chilled. Strain into a glass filled with crushed ice. Float the dark rum on top by pouring it gently over the back of a spoon. Garnish with mint.

A precursor to many tropical beverages, the original rum punches date back to seventeenth-century Caribbean colonies. It’s a bold drink well-suited to character Linda Shaw’s spirited nature.

Ingredients

2 oz. light rum

1 oz. dark rum

2 oz. pineapple juice

1 oz. orange juice

1/2 oz. lime juice

1 tsp. grenadine

Fresh mint, an orange wheel, and a maraschino cherry to garnish

Fill a shaker with ice. Add the rums, pineapple juice, orange juice, lime juice, and grenadine. Shake well until chilled. Strain into a tall glass filled with ice. Garnish with mint and an orange wheel and maraschino cherry on a cocktail pick.

Martinis epitomized sophistication in the 1960s. While gin was historically the preferred spirit, vodka’s rise offered a smoother alternative. The Gibson, a chic variation with a pickled onion garnish, is an ideal reflection of Norma Dellacorte’s regal presence.

Ingredients

2 1/2 oz. gin or vodka

1/2 oz. dry vermouth

Pearl onion to garnish

Fill a mixing glass with ice. Add gin or vodka and dry vermouth. Stir well until chilled. Strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a pearl onion on a cocktail pick.

BOLD FLAVORS, COOL COCKTAILS, AND LOCAL FAVORITES

OPENINGS

MASALA IN THE MOONLIGHT

Looking for a romantic escape for your next date night? The new Ayre by Karma, located inside the Amrit Ocean Resort on Riviera Beach, is just the spot.

Perched above the resort’s beachfront, the open-air eatery pairs a polished South Florida vibe with the elevated flavors of Washington, D.C.’s Michelin-recognized Karma restaurant. Here, chef Asif R. Syed crafts Indian dishes rooted in the diverse culinary traditions of the subcontinent but reimagined for today’s diners. The result? Light yet impactful plates that are at once beautiful to behold and nourishing to the body, as they uphold the Amrit’s commitment to health-focused dining, Ayurvedic principles, and mindful consumption.

Patrons are encouraged to make reservations for either the three-, five-, or seven-course tasting menu, all of which include extras such as an amuse-bouche (which, on a recent visit, consisted of edamame, pistachio cream, and golden beets), a palate cleanser of rose water and rosemary, and warming saffron tea before dessert. As servers explain upon delivery, each dish is inspired by a specific region. The inventive spinach and paneer croquettes, for example, offer a modern take on Punjabi palak paneer.

Those opting to dine à la carte can choose from such delicacies as chèvre and herb naan, Pindi chickpeas, and the stunning lobster masala with beetroot poriyal, bell peppers, and fenugreek. Wine pairings and a comprehensive cocktail program round out the experience—though we recommend going with a mocktail, such as A Mirage (house-made carrot juice, peppercorn, lemon, and ginger ale) or The Himalayan (kiwi, lemon, and ginger beer). One final tip: book your reservation for a full-moon evening so that you may experience Ayre in all its illuminated glory. (ayrebykarma.com) —Mary Murray

HOT SPOTS

RIDING HIGH

SWEETWATER’S SEAN IGLEHART CHANNELS HERITAGE, HOSPITALITY, AND HEAT INTO HIS LATEST CONCEPT

BY MARY MURRAY

Sean Iglehart has long ties to the Boynton Beach hospitality industry and the greater Palm Beach County community. His family has been in the Palm Beaches since the 1930s and helped shape the region’s polo profile. His grandfather, in fact, was a worldclass polo player. Iglehart, who grew up in Ocean Ridge, chose barstools over polo mallets and opened Sweetwater cocktail bar and kitchen in the early 2010s. Fifteen years later, in January 2025, he debuted Second Rodeo, a neighborhood haunt where a locavore ethos can be felt in every facet.

Iglehart tapped another Palm Beach County native, chef James Cruz, to spearhead the culinary side of things. From the outset, Iglehart knew he wanted to present eco-conscious, sustainable fare featuring local ingredients (all the fish, for example, is sourced daily from Captain Clay and Sons Seafood Market in Delray Beach). Everything is cooked over or touched by fire, says Iglehart,

noting the use of Florida red oak.

“The menu is very Americana,” he continues. “We wanted to be very authentic to who we are in what we show.”

Seasonality and space limitations— the main lounge is just 700 square feet— necessitate an ever-evolving menu and cross-utilization of ingredients between the food and cocktail programs. Iglehart describes the libations as avant-garde yet designed for high-volume service, with batch cocktails helping the team maintain momentum late into the night. Much like the food, fire often comes into play.

“We take our craft and put it into these batches that make it much more seamless for service, and it doesn’t affect quality or the performance of the cocktail at all,” Iglehart explains. “We break the night up. From 6 to 10 is when the fire is on. Then from 10 to 2, we do a late-night menu.”

Second Rodeo may have only recently celebrated its first birthday, but it has already expanded. In December, the team opened a daytime café, Second Rodeo Provisions, next door. (secondrodeolounge.com)

KEEP THE GOOD TIMES ROLLING WITH THESE TWO NEW BARS STEEPED IN AMERICANA

WEST PALM COWBOY CLUB

A new venture from Experience Hospitality Group, this restaurant and music venue on Clematis Street spans two levels. Grammywinning producer Diplo is helping to shape the creative offerings, while chef Adrian Ricouz will serve classic barbecue fare with a Latin accent. As of press time, West Palm Cowboy Club was eyeing a March opening. (westpalmcowboyclub.com)

TALL BOY

A resurrection of a circa-1981 bar in Boca Raton, Tall Boy is the dictionary definition of an “American bar,” from its nostalgic environs to its pub-style menu. Co-owners Challo Schott and Craig Shattuck reopened Tall Boy last fall, offering classic food like smashburgers and wings, as well as convivial entertainment in the form of DJs, karaoke, and ladies’ nights. (tallboyboca.com)

Second Rodeo makes its own pasta, sources its seafood locally, and crafts cocktails enhanced with wood-fired elements.

EXPANSIONS

THAT’S AMORE

Another New York City institution has landed at the Nora district. Famed pizza proprietor Patsy Grimaldi came out of retirement in 2012 to establish Juliana’s Pizza, named in honor of his mother. The restaurant’s West Palm Beach location is its first outside of Brooklyn, where it has gained a devoted following for its coal-fired, New York–style pizza. At Juliana’s, the pizzas are made to order and sold as whole pies only, available in personal, medium, and large sizes. Everything starts with the from-scratch dough, crafted using water direct from NYC. The bestseller is the margherita pizza, featuring DOP San Marzano tomatoes plus fresh mozz and basil. You can jazz it up with classic toppings, but honestly, why mess with perfection? There’s a certain symphonic simplicity to folding up a slice and savoring the exquisite faint bitterness that only comes from a pizza cooked quick on hot, hot coals. Don’t leave without trying the Brookie Bridge: ice cream nestled between two brownie-cookie hybrids. (julianaspizza.com) —M.M.

SWEET AMBITION

As a kid growing up in Palm Beach County, Liz White dreamed of running a food business of some kind. After studying psychology and entrepreneurship at Florida Gulf Coast University, she returned home and began percolating ideas. While she initially considered opening a bakery, she ultimately landed on an ice cream shop—the perfect fit, given the history behind her family’s other business, Hall Hardware: the original owner of Hall Hardware operated an ice cream parlor, The Hut, in downtown West Palm Beach before opening his hardware store (which White’s father now owns and runs) in 1945.

In December, White opened Frost Ice Cream adjacent to Hall Hardware on South Dixie Highway in West Palm, offering customizable infused ice cream in a cup or cone, as a milkshake, or by the pint. Customers start by selecting an ice cream base (which White sources locally) and then choosing their add-ins, everything from sprinkles to strawberries, chocolate chunks to cheesecake bites. The ice cream is then infused, creating a “Blizzard-type consistency,” says White. While there’s a thrill in crafting a one-of-a-kind treat, White has also curated a selection of signature creations, and the menu is frequently updated with seasonal flavors and limited-edition collabs.

Served over a single whiskey cube, splashed with black walnut bitters, and crowned with a mini PB&J sandwich, it lands squarely between memory and maturity. The bourbon keeps things grounded, cutting the sweetness just enough, while the peanut butter note lingers on the finish. Familiar, yes, but calibrated for an adult barstool. (americansocialbar.com)

DRINK: PEANUT BUTTER CUP SMOOTHIE

RESTAURANT: CARROT EXPRESS, BOCA RATON

For those who want peanut butter without the guilt spiral, Carrot Express delivers. The Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie blends peanut butter with almond milk, cocoa, banana, dates, and protein powder into something that feels satisfying but purposeful and protein-packed. It’s thick, filling, and genuinely sustaining, working just as well post-workout as it does in place of dessert. Sweet enough to feel like a treat yet clean enough to justify on a weekday, it’s peanut butter behaving responsibly without sacrificing pleasure. (carrotexpress.com) —Paul Rubio

SIP WITH PBI

WARMTH, WIT, AND WHISKEY

CELEBRATE ST. PATRICK’S DAY WITH AN IRISH COFFEE

BY JULES ARON

FRANCESCACOVIELLO

Irish pubs have long held a special place in American culture, dating back to the nineteenth century when Irish immigrants arrived seeking new opportunities and brought with them a rich tradition of community, music, and camaraderie. These establishments quickly became essential social hubs, offering a comforting taste of home.

In Florida, this tradition took root as Irish families settled in cities like Tampa and Jacksonville. One notable example is Roxy’s Pub, which originally opened in 1933. Over the years, successive owners have preserved its spirited atmosphere, transforming it into a cultural landmark.

This deep connection to Irish culture extends beyond pubs and into the realm of legendary drinks. One of the most iconic is Irish coffee, which can be traced back to Foynes, a small Irish village that was a hub for transatlantic flights. In 1943, chef Joseph Sheridan developed the drink (a blend of hot coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar, and whipped cream) to soothe and energize weary travelers. Its popularity soared in 1952, when international travel writer Stanton Delaplane and Jack Koeppler, owner of San Francisco’s Buena Vista Café, teamed up to re-create and perfect the recipe.

Today, Irish coffee stands as a symbol of Irish hospitality—an elegant, warming drink that’s perfect for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day or simply enjoying a cozy moment. Each sip is a toast to Ireland’s inventive spirit and conviviality.

XIrish Coffee

Ingredients

6 oz. brewed coffee

1 1/3 oz. Irish whiskey, preferably Tullamore D.E.W.

FROM CITY TO OCEAN, THE FINE ART OF PALM BEACH LIVING

DESIGN

PLAYING HOUSE

Thanks to clients who had a strong love for Charleston’s Southern charm, designers Jennifer Ribek and Grace Hatch of Jennifer Ribek Interior Design were given license to incorporate quaint, traditional touches throughout this Delray Beach home. That included the design of not one but two playrooms, where fun and function would meet with playful sophistication and layering of bold patterns and colors.

This space, known as “the loft,” needed to be multipurpose while remaining inviting for the couple’s four children. The lively green trim is a happy contrast against the crisp white nickel joint ceiling, while two woven hanging chairs deliver a relaxed, cozy feel.

“The initial spark came from the traditional floral wallpaper, which set the tone and guided every decision that followed including color story, fabrics, trims, and molding finishes,” says Ribek. “Our goal was to bring warmth, joy, and character into the space while thoughtfully honoring the home’s Southern roots.”

INSPIRED LIVING

CLOSET CONFIDENTIAL

TWO DESIGN EXPERTS REVEAL WHAT’S BEHIND THE DOORS OF TODAY’S MOST LUXURIOUS CLOSETS

BY LIZA GRANT SMITH

THE EXPERTS

CLAUDIO FARIA, DIRECTOR, ORNARE (ORNARE.COM.BR)

HL BURKLEY, OWNER, INSPIRED CLOSETS SOUTHWEST FLORIDA (INSPIREDCLOSETS.COM)

« Functional Elements

Faria states that one functional element his clients are embracing is a leather hanging bar integrated into a wall panel or mirror. This becomes an essential tool for outfit planning, as it allows clients to style in advance and elevate their daily routine.

Burkley points to the popularity of hidden functionality like pull-out mirrors, valet rods, concealed hampers, and jewelry drawers that keep the space clean and practical.

« Lighting

When thoughtfully executed, lighting can transform the entire experience of a closet space. Beyond basic recessed lighting, fixtures are now integrated throughout, incorporated into vertical shelving and extended top shelves, and paired

with puck lighting for task and feature areas. Angled lighting is also a smart addition, as it can highlight clothing, shoes, and accessories to create a boutique-like effect.

« Closets as Destinations

More than merely a place to store clothes, closets can become a destination—or even a sanctuary—in the home.

“With the rise of social media and influencers, closets are no longer hidden spaces,” Faria explains. “They’ve become environments where people spend time, create content, and express themselves. We’re often incorporating [wine, cocktail, or Champagne] bars, makeup vanities, and comfortable seating, transforming the closet into a place where it’s welcoming to lounge.”

“Islands with seating, built-in benches, or ot-

tomans make the closet feel like part of a private suite,” adds Burkley. “When space doesn’t allow for a built-in island, incorporating a furniture piece in the center adds both function and a strong design moment.”

« Coloring Inside the Lines

Elevated neutrals (think: whites and warm wood tones) are still in vogue as they create a calm, sophisticated backdrop that directs attention to the clothing and accessories on display. That being said, dynamic accents—like pops of color and fabrics incorporated into the backs of cabinets— can infuse personality into a space.

« Materials and Hardware

A mixture of natural materials is key when creating an upscale closet. This includes everything

This page: Ornare’s Claudio Faria emphasizes the importance of blending aesthetic, functional, and lifestyle elements when designing a custom closet.

from wood and leather to stone and reflective glass, combined in a harmonious way where the final product is greater than the sum of its parts. A closet island, for example, invites more tactile materials, such as durable natural stone or quartz countertops; a glass-topped island can transform storage into display. Hardware also presents an opportunity to be expressive in design. Opt for accents in brushed brass or bronze, or even something wrapped in leather or decorated to resemble fine jewelry. Burkley notes that larger-scale hardware is trending thanks to its ability to convey a more modern and intentional aesthetic.

« Don’t Underestimate… the importance of personalizing a closet to your wardrobe, accessories, and intended uses. Working with professional closet planners helps ensure you end up with a closet

that is truly yours. This relates to everything from shelf heights that perfectly fit your shoes (are you a Gucci heels or Golden Goose girl?) and custom drawer interiors for your accessories collection (jewelry, watches, sunglasses, etc.). Burkley also advises creating lifestyle-driven zones, such as packing areas, dedicated shoe sections, and spaces designed around a specific collection. As Faria notes, “every decision should be guided by how a client lives, dresses, and moves through the space.”

The color scheme is fresh, welcoming, and not too serious. A marvelous custom antiqued mirror is paired with Giacometti lamps with silk lampshades from Penny Morrison. A bone box from John Rosselli and a lantern from Charles Edwards complete the vignette.” (buckleykohler interiordesign.com)

REVOLUTIONARY PRODUCTS

THAT ARE HELPING HER FEEL AND LOOK HER

BEST

BY DAPHNE NIKOLOPOULOS

ZERO HEROES

Everyone who’s gone zero-proof, for wellness or otherwise, has experienced disappointment when ordering alcohol-free drinks. Too many bar and restaurant offerings are either unimaginative, too sweet, or nonexistent altogether.

As a recent experimenter with the zero-proof life, I set out to find a more refined alternative to the usual fare. After sipping many duds, I learned about the bottled cocktails of Curious Elixirs, which supposedly hit the elusive trifecta of ingredient-driven, healthful (read: no sugar), and flavor-forward.

With an open mind, I tasted the No. 1, a pomegranate Negroni Sbagliato with citrus peel extracts, herbs, spices, and extracts of gentian root and rhodiola for health benefits. I don’t exaggerate when I say this is a flavor explosion. Bitter in the manner of Campari, complex, and layered with a bright finish, the No. 1 tastes like a proper cocktail. And it’s as easy as opening a bottle, pouring over ice, and garnishing as desired.

A word of warning: tasting No. 1 leads to tasting No. 2, then No. 3, and so on until it becomes an obsession. I tried all nine (there’s also a tenth, a booze-free craft brew), and while I didn’t love them all, I was delighted to discover a smoked chocolate cherry old-fashioned (No. 5), a riff on the classic Champagne cocktail with lavender and elderflower (No. 7), and a Sicilian blood orange spritz with a multi-citrus brightness and complex notes of rhubarb, holy basil, and ginseng (No. 4).

These cocktail-hour game changers are available by the single bottle or by subscription, so you never have to settle for a Shirley Temple–like concoction again. (curiouselixirs.com)

STRAIGHT TALK

«

My hair is, in a word, unruly. Always has been. I was teased for it in middle school, resorted to ponytails as a young adult, and tried everything to tame the beast as a professional. Nothing gave me the silky, straight hair I envied in others.

Then someone told me about Magic Sleek, a keratinalternative, formaldehyde-free treatment that eliminates frizz (even when it’s humid out!) and grants soft, shiny, straight hair for up to six months. Since nothing has ever worked for me, I was skeptical but tried it anyway.

First, let me say: this can be a three-hour commitment, depending on hair thickness and length. There’s a lot of product slathering and an intense cuticle-sealing process that seems like it will fry your hair but actually seals in moisture and nourishes strands. After the product applications, requisite wait time, and washes, a blow-out reveals the new, sleek-haired you.

Does it work? Absolutely. I tried it on my daughter’s thick, long, curly hair, and the result was even more dramatic. We both walked out with straight and manageable hair that no longer relied on tons of product and flat irons. Two months later, it’s still behaving, with the help of the in-home shampoo, conditioning, and peptide regimen Magic Sleek recommends. The jury is out on how long it will ultimately last, but I’m just thrilled to have this option. Ask for Ty at Le Bazaar, Palm Beach. (magicsleek.com, lebazaarpalmbeach.com)

HYBRID SPORTS

READY FOR A NEW DIVERSION?

GIVE THESE TWO HYBRID CREATIONS A SPORTING CHANCE.

BOARDBALL

The pairing: Volleyball meets Roundnet

PADDLESMASH

The pairing: Pickleball meets Spikeball

The story: What do a group of volleyball-loving friends do when they’re on a trip together and can’t find a net? They improvise and hit the ball against a wooden bridge over a pool instead. After returning home, they used an old squash court to continue playing their new game and began experimenting with different formats and rules. When COVID lockdowns started, they were kicked out of their playing area and ended up building a portable prototype. The first time they brought it outside to play in downtown Toronto, someone captured a video, and Boardball went viral. The play: An indoor-outdoor game, Boardball is played with two teams of two; the first team to reach 21 points wins. Players hit the ball onto the board with up to three touches. As with volleyball, you score when the opposing team fails to return the ball or makes a fault, such as exceeding three touches. There are lots of fun rules (players can use any body part to hit or block shots, for example) to keep play fast-paced and dynamic. (boardballsport.com)

SKIN CARE

EASY-TO-GET EXOSOMES

The story: Structural engineer Joe Bingham created Paddlesmash to keep his seven kids entertained. His kids enjoy pickleball, so Bingham wanted to create something similar they could play at home. He made a portable Paddlesmash prototype and eventually licensed the rights to the game to entrepreneurs Tim Swindle and Scott Brown, who brought it to market. Swindle and Brown landed the game on Shark Tank and on the shelves of Dick’s Sporting Goods stores. The play: Ideally, Paddlesmash is played with two teams of two (though it can be played one-on-one). Players use paddles to hit the ball off the base and over the net, using two to three hits to get the ball back in the court. Both teammates must hit the ball during a possession. Points are earned when the opposing team fails to return the ball back to the base. The winning team is the first one to reach 11 points. (paddlesmash.com) —L.G.S.

One of the newest skin care trends comes in the form of small structures called exosomes, which carry proteins and other materials between cells. Products from (Plated) Skin Science feature exosomes, which CEO Alisa Lask describes as “tiny delivery trucks in the body that carry important instructions from one cell to another.” The company’s Intense Serum, Daily Serum, and other products incorporate exosomes with the aim of reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots on the skin. Depending on your skin care needs, the company recommends using the Intense Serum for 12 weeks and then switching to the Daily Serum. While some companies use exosomes derived from plants, (Plated) Skin Science taps platelets sourced from U.S. blood donation banks. “Platelet-derived exosomes are naturally compatible with human skin,” explains Lask. And unlike some exosome products that require refrigeration, (Plated) Skin Science’s manufacturing processes result in shelf-stable serums. (platedskinscience.com) —Erika Klein

HOLISTIC DENTAL CARE

WHAT ATTRACTS PATIENTS TO SEEK OUT DENTAL HEALING ARTS OVER OTHER DENTAL PRACTICES IN SOUTH FLORIDA?

Patients come to our o ce in Jupiter, Florida because we unite advanced precision dentistry, whole-body biologic care, and an artful approach to aesthetics in one fully integrated practice. As a husbandand-wife team—a master’s level cosmetic dentist and a board-certified periodontist—we combine advanced clinical expertise with biologic principles and an elevated artistic eye. Every treatment is designed to support optimal function, protect systemic health, and create results that are beautifully natural, balanced, and enduring.

WHAT IS BIOLOGIC DENTISTRY?

Biologic dentistry is rooted in the understanding that the mouth is directly connected to the health of the entire body. Our goal is not only to treat symptoms, but to address underlying imbalances that may impact the immune, nervous, and inflammatory systems. We prioritize biocompatible, nontoxic materials and techniques that support the body’s natural healing processes. This approach allows dentistry to become a supportive part of overall wellness, not a burden to it.

ARE THERE OTHER PROCEDURES YOU ARE RENOWNED FOR?

We are known for advanced cosmetic dentistry and biologic facial rejuvenation that enhances natural beauty while supporting healthy tissue regeneration. Using platelet-rich fibrin derived from the patient’s own body and laser-based collagen stimulation, we help restore vitality and balance to the face. In addition, we o er veneers, ceramic restorations, and comprehensive smile makeovers that unite precision, health, and artistry in every result.

Come to Your Senses

Changhee Cho’s career in aesthetic science and skin wellness allowed her to see that skin care is a balance between science, art, and self. It led her to co-found the luxury skin care brand Bonjil and create products that redefine beauty as a multisensory ritual. Each formula is designed to engage all five senses while delivering visible results. With this foundation, Bonjil has introduced curated music boxes, known as Aesthetic Alcoves. Soft ambient product lighting, soothing textures, and subtle fragrances harmonize with calming melodies intended to enhance the skin care experience by lowering stress and cortisol levels. “The Aesthetic Alcoves are designed for those who see beauty as a holistic practice where skin care, mindfulness, and emotional well-being intersect,” says Cho. “Bonjil speaks to individuals seeking intention in their daily routines, transforming skin care into a nurturing ritual.” (bonjil.com) —L.G.S.

THE SPRING EDIT

SEASONAL SWAPS TO ALIGN YOUR HOME, HABITS, AND HEALTH WITH LONGER DAYS

BY CHLOE KRAMMEL

We spring forward this month, trading an hour of sleep for longer days and more sunlight. (A bargain, if you ask me.) As we move our clocks ahead, our biology adapts to the seasons and responds to changes in daylight. Additional light exposure improves our mood, metabolism, and energy. But how we live affects us just as much, if not more. Spring is an ideal time to take stock of what does and doesn’t support us. In lieu of spring cleaning, here is your guide to a thoughtful seasonal edit.

HOME

• Swap synthetic candles for stovetop simmer pots. Instead of artificial, endocrine-disrupting fragrances, opt to simmer herbs and citrus peels in a small pot of water.

• Trade Teflon pans for cast iron or stainless steel. Traditional nonstick coatings can release PFAS (“forever chemicals”). Cast iron and stainless steel are time-tested, toxin-free alternatives.

• Nix fluorescent lighting in favor of warm lamp light or candlelight at night. Fluorescent lighting emits rapid invisible flickering and small amounts of UV radiation, which can strain the nervous system and disrupt circadian rhythms.

• Eliminate conventional cleaners and use a vinegar, citrus peel, and baking soda mix. Many conventional cleaners rely on harsh chemicals and

synthetic fragrances. Vinegar and baking soda clean effectively while keeping your home low-tox.

FOOD

• Exchange ultra-processed protein bars for boiled eggs and yogurt bowls. Protein bars are often made with highly processed ingredients. Whole-food proteins, like eggs and yogurt, digest easier, are more bioavailable, and provide longerlasting satiety.

• Cut down on grains and load up on vegetables. Lighten your glycemic load while increasing micronutrient variety by swapping rice for cauliflower rice and pasta for spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles.

• Swap sugary condiments for mustard, vinegar, or homemade sauces. Most condiments sneak in sugars and flavor enhancers. Acid-forward options like mustard and vinegar add brightness without the hidden ingredients.

• Put down the electrolyte powders and reach for coconut water with unrefined sea salt instead.

Added sugars and artificial flavors are common in electrolyte powders. Unrefined sea salt provides natural sodium and trace minerals, while coconut water adds potassium and natural sweetness.

LIFE

• Replace Takeout Fridays with Farmers Market Saturdays. App-based takeout is convenient but impersonal. Connect with your food and those who grow it at a local farmers market.

• Switch from a phone alarm to natural light. Sudden, aggressive alarms can spike cortisol first thing in the morning. Instead, wake gently with sunlight.

• Say no to over-supplementation and yes to whole foods. Clean out your supplement graveyard and let food do the heavy lifting. Two Brazil nuts have roughly 100 percent of the daily recommended value (DV) of selenium. A 3.5-ounce salmon fillet delivers the DV of vitamin D. A single gold kiwi packs 200 percent of the DV of vitamin C.

• Trade mindless snacking for afternoon tea. Tea naturally contains L-theanine, a compound that boosts relaxing alpha waves and supports neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin.

SEEDS OF STILLNESS

LET THE RHYTHM OF NATURE GUIDE YOU TOWARD CLARITY, CALM, AND PRESENCE

BY TAMMY FENDER

For me, gardening is a meditative practice, and this can be true whether you have a gardener or like to put on gloves and dig in the dirt yourself. First and foremost, it’s about finding delight in nature, and this requires all your senses. When you come to the garden in this way, with intention and openness, you bring a certain generosity to really slowing down and enjoying the scent of lavender in the air, the hum of the beehive, or the deep green of a young banana tree, like the one I recently planted in my small fruit grove.

Allowing these marvels to captivate you fully—away from all the devices, without a podcast droning on, message alerts ring-

in a hectic world. Even on the busiest days, when a visit to the garden may seem impractical, they are worth every second because they deliver an almost instant mood boost.

At the same time, I love cultivating a hopeful attitude of anticipation when planting new seeds or watching a single flower shift from bud to bloom. I’ve seen how this simple exercise helps me build patience throughout the day, which can have a certain flow-on effect on the world around you. Who better than a gardener to know that some things just take time?

To elevate the practice further and align it more closely with meditation, establish a rhythm to your garden visits. Coming at the same time each day and using mindfulness techniques to contemplate the mysteries of nature or my own thoughts brings meaning and clarity to my mornings. When I visit the garden with this consistency, I see how quickly and slowly time passes and changes everything, including myself. There’s the way a sunflower tracks the sun over the course of a single day. The way the mango tree my family gave me for Christmas is gradually taking root and growing. Through these loving observations, the garden offers a practice in being present.

ing, or outside distractions of any kind—is a purely natural reset. On some days, this may be the only chance we have outside of the shower to take a breath and get away. Gardening moments are the ones I cherish most

But in the garden, there’s also room for following curiosity, discovering new inspirations, and showing reverence. A garden meditation is whatever you make it. You can start small, even today, simply by giving a little extra care to whatever plants you love best. «

Developing a practice of garden meditation results in a restorative natural reset.

WHEN YACHTS WORK

WHY MORE YACHT BUYERS ARE APPROACHING CHARTERING WITH A BUSINESS-FIRST MINDSET

BY JOE PYE

The luxury yacht lifestyle isn’t just for the rich and the famous. It can also be a lucrative business with the right team.

In July 2025, Congress restored 100 percent bonus depreciation under Section 168(k) of the tax code as part of a sweeping tax overhaul commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The changes allow qualifying business property to be fully depreciated in the year it’s placed into service, including assets used in charter operations.

Andrew Comiter, a senior partner and tax attorney at Comiter Singer LLP who advises clients on complex depreciation strategies, says the most important word in that sentence is “qualifying.”

“Unless you can prove it’s a real trade or business, you’re going to have a big problem on your hands,” explains Comiter. “It’s not just buying something. It’s actually placing it into service and using it.”

Bonus depreciation allows businesses to accelerate depreciation deductions into a single tax year, rather than spreading them out over time—but only when assets are actively used in a legitimate for-profit operation.

Since the bill passed, interest in charter yachts has picked up. Buying the boat is the easy part. Making it work comes down to involvement, customers, meticulous records, and a team that understands both maritime law and tax compliance.

Comiter says the IRS focuses on whether a charter operation looks and behaves like a real business. That starts with placing the yacht into service and making it available to paying customers. The more the operation resembles a passive investment, the harder it becomes to justify accelerated depreciation. Owners are expected to play an active role in running the charter business, from marketing and pricing to oversight of operations and record keeping.

Time spent managing the business counts, but only if it’s documented as it happens. Logs, calendars, and written records show the difference between intention and execution.

The profit motive matters just as much. Sporadic charters or discounted use by friends raise questions quickly. So does a business that never appears positioned to cover its own operating costs. Comiter says those details are often what separate viable strategies from wishful thinking.

On the maritime side, Umberto Bonavita, an international business and yacht lawyer at Robert Allen Law, says structure needs to come first, not last. Buyers who treat the yacht purchase as the beginning of a business, rather than an asset they try to turn into one later, are far better positioned if questions arise.

“To be able to establish that you have a legitimate commercial for-profit use, you have to assemble the right team,” notes Bonavita. “That means, even before you make the purchase, you’re documenting all the time that you spend

preparing a business plan, analyzing the market for yachts.”

Even when the business framework is sound, execution is what determines whether most plans succeed or fail. Not every vessel is suited for chartering, and not every charter setup works in every jurisdiction. Flagging (or the country where a yacht is registered), crew requirements, and where a yacht is legally allowed to operate can all affect whether a charter business qualifies.

tended time offline for repairs can struggle to demonstrate consistent business activity.

According to Boomer Jousma, sales director at Italian Yacht Group, first-time buyers often underestimate those operational considerations. Foreign-built vessels, for example, may face additional restrictions depending on where they charter, and crew requirements can vary based on how and where the yacht is flagged. Mechanical reliability also matters. A yacht that misses peak charter season or spends ex-

“You need to show absolute intent that you are trying to create a business,” Jousma says.

“You absolutely need to go through all the proper channels to make sure that you’re protected and able to prove that it was a charter and you’re trying to run a legit business with the vessel.”

That’s the distinction Comiter emphasizes when clients ask about bonus depreciation. “It sounds great in theory,” he says. “But the dirt is in the details.” «

CHARLES COURTNEY CURRAN AND THE ROMANCE OF AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISM

This exhibition traces the celebrated American painter’s journey from his Ohio roots to New York, Paris, and the mountaintop artists’ colony of Cragsmoor, New York. Curran’s paintings, filled with women in flowing white dresses, playful children, and lush floral landscapes, offer a luminous vision of summer at its most poetic.

Palm Beach Dramaworks –Theatre to Think About

THE CRUCIBLE

By Arthur Miller

Directed by William Hayes

April 3-19, 2026

A masterful, riveting exploration of the 1692 Salem witch trials, this timeless and timely Tony Award-winning play is also an allegory for McCarthyism and the House Un-American Activities Committee’s modern-day witch hunts. Convinced that witches are living among them, Salem is gripped by mass hysteria, paranoia, fear, and retribution, with neighbors turning on and turning in neighbors, and religious fervor turning a blind eye to justice. Miller considered The Crucible his finest play.

“I visited the Miller Archive to see his research and discover anything I could about his work on The Crucible,” said PBD Producing Artistic Director William Hayes. “He had such conviction about writing the play, and I could see first-hand his determination and how much he struggled to get it right: I’ve never seen so many composition books and drafts of one piece. Miller was one of the greatest playwrights in American history, and being at the archive, touching these sacred documents, felt like a religious experience.”

“It’s the awful waste that strikes you most powerfully: how easily a society wrecks itself once gripped by paranoia.”

— Financial Times (London)

ON VIEW THROUGH APRIL 4, 2026

Art can be a form of care—for the body, the spirit, and the collective. This exhibition brings together artists and writers whose work reflects the many dimensions of wellness: rest and resilience, healing and ritual, connection and care. Through poetry, painting, and mixed media, these works explore what it means to feel whole in a fractured world—and how creative practice itself can be an act of well-being.

Visit us at the Robert M. Montgomery, Jr. Building 601 Lake Avenue, Lake Worth Beach, FL 33460 Tuesday – Saturday, 12 – 5 p.m. Free and open to the public palmbeachculture.com/exhibitions

DEAR LIZ

BY LIZ LANGE ILLUSTRATIONS BY HAYLEY KILIAN

Dear Liz,

What’s your trick for making linen look polished instead of perpetually wrinkled?

Here’s the truth: linen wrinkles. It’s supposed to. Fighting it is like fighting humidity in Florida— you’ll lose every time. My trick is to lean in and make it look intentional. Choose pieces with structure (a tailored linen blazer, a wide-leg pant) and keep the rest of the look sharp with a great belt, sleek sandals, good jewelry—you get the idea. Suddenly, the wrinkles read as relaxed, not messy. And if it really bothers you, I swear by a handheld steamer. I travel with mine everywhere.

XO,

You’re such a smart businesswoman. What advice do you have for a young woman who wants to start her own fashion brand in a crowded marketplace?

The marketplace has always been crowded. That’s not the problem, that’s the job. What breaks through is clarity. Know exactly who you are and what you stand for—and don’t dilute it. A strong point of view is more powerful than any marketing plan or trying to be everything to everybody. Also, understand your customer better than she understands herself. And here’s the unglamorous truth: learn your numbers. You can dream in color, but you need to operate in black and white. Do both well and you’ll be ahead of 90 percent of people.

Dear Liz, Dear Liz,

I love to travel but can’t decide where to go next. Any advice from your recent experiences or personal bucket list for places that are not the same-old?

Go where you feel that tiny spark of curiosity. Lately, I’ve been dreaming of Puglia—all whitewashed buildings and endless olive groves. Anywhere in Italy is always a good idea. Capri is another favorite: lots of glamour, a little mysterious, very cinematic. I can’t get enough of Japan. Tokyo, Kyoto—you name it, I love it. I will never not be excited to land at Charles de Gaulle with a few days in Paris in front of me. I always vote for places that feel like a shift in atmosphere, not just a change in scenery.

XO,

XO,
