Innholdsfortegnelse for September 2017 i Palm Beach Illustrated

Remember when September was considered a sleepy summer month? Not anymore. The advent of fall has become the unofficial start of season. Young families have returned for a new school year, restaurants and stores are buzzing with activity, and the party circuit is kicking into gear. I love this breath of renewal, don’t you? It puts everything into perspective and amps up the excitement for the season ahead. It’s also good timing for “The PBI Awards,” our annual compilation of everything that has made this year special. After much deliberation (and site visits, and independent sampling), our editorial team has picked the experiences, places, and innovators that are shaking up the status quo in Palm Beach County. The list is by no means comprehensive—we’d need hundreds of pages for that—but…

September is here, and that means it’s time to reinvent your wardrobe. PBI recently spoke with Saks Fifth Avenue Senior Vice President, Fashion Director Roopal Patel about the colors, styles, and pieces everyone will be rocking this fall. (saksfifthavenue.com) PBI: What major trends for women do you expect to see this season? Patel: We’re really excited about the movement [toward] empowering women. Designers were affected by what’s happening in the world today and are dressing women in what we’re calling “New Power Suiting.” The return of the suit feels fresh and directional. It’s not just your classic suit of boardroom stripes or black; there’s a lot of novelty whether it’s brocade, printed florals, crystal, diamanté. We also love the return of the jacket. A statement jacket can really bring out…

With epicurean toppings and innovative flavors, artisanal doughnuts are on the rise in Palm Beach County. In the early morning hours, eager gourmands form a line out the door at Jupiter Donuts (various locations, jupiterdonuts.com) for crave-worthy concoctions like peanut butter and guava jelly, Key lime pie, and Samoa. Only when the shop sells out do the crowds dissipate, usually by noon on the weekends. A similar craze surrounds Nani’s Dough in Delray Beach (561-303- 1102, nanisdough.com), where the yeast dough developed by self-taught baker and owner Nani Edry melts in your mouth with a brioche level of fluffiness. Edry rotates the shop’s selection with original creations like pomegranate coconut, blueberry Brie, dark chocolate with avocado mousse, and French toast. Need more proof the provincial doughnut has reached certifiably sophisticated heights?…

How do you measure happiness? Each year, The World Happiness Report ranks 155 countries on the happiness of its citizens based on data from the Gallup World Poll, which asks people to grade their lives on a scale of zero to 10 (10 being their best possible life and zero being their worst). The results are then interpreted through six key factors: GDP per capita, life expectancy, social support, trust in government, perceived freedom, and generosity. Scandinavian countries consistently come out on top, while the United States slipped from No. 13 to No. 14 in this year’s rankings. Based on the data collected, the adage that money can’t buy happiness holds true—especially in the U.S. Despite our country’s rising GDP per capita, happiness has declined over the past 10 years.…

Many scientists agree: We’ve entered the Anthropocene. This new geologic era accepts the idea that humans are irrevocably transforming Earth, propelling global warming and ecological devastation. Brooklyn-based artist Justin Brice Guariglia documents these changes through photography. In 2015, he began working with NASA as part of Operation IceBridge to gather evidence of Greenland’s dying glaciers. These images and others from his travels across Asia illuminate the environmental repercussions of human activity. “Earth Works: Mapping the Anthropocene,” a new exhibit opening at the Norton Museum of Art September 5, includes more than 30 pieces, some of which measure as tall as 16 feet. Through a new acrylic printing process, developed by the artist himself, Guariglia incorporates painting techniques within his photography. By using highly durable materials to emphasize deteriorating natural elements,…

All the hype about micellar water—mainly touting its deepcleansing and hydrating properties—is true. This no-rinse miracle potion, which looks like water but really is enriched with oil molecules called micelles, cleans without stripping and even heals dry skin. No wonder the French swear by it. A few to try: By Terry Cellularose micellar water with rose native cells ($55, b-glowing.com); Botanics Hydration Burst micellar cleanser with clary sage ($10, Ulta); No. 7 Beautiful Skin micellar water with a multivitamin and mineral blend ($9, Ulta); Dior HydraLife micellar water with echinacea flower extract ($42, Sephora); and Jane Iredale BeautyPrep face cleanser with oat amino acids ($28, janeiredale.com).…

MARTINEZ Legendary bartender Jerry Thomas claimed to have invented the Martinez, a forerunner to the modern martini, in the 1860s for a man waiting to take the ferry from San Francisco to nearby Martinez. The drink—a combination of Old Tom Gin, sweet vermouth, maraschino liqueur, and bitters—yielded an alluring copper color. Over the years, the vermouth went from sweet to dry, the gin became English, and the spirit gradually dominated the vermouth. The Martinez is experiencing a revival locally at The Alchemist, a popular West Palm Beach gastropub. “The best part of the emerging cocktail culture is the resurgence of the classics,” says managing partner Craig Steel. “The drink [appeals] to our customers because of the Old Tom Gin—aged and light brown in color, with a subtle malt flavor—which many…

There’s nothing quite like being out on the water on a sunny day, especially when it doubles as a workout. Combining elements of surfing and sailing, windsurfing offers a challenge for core strengthening, aerobic endurance, and balance. From getting on and off the board to gliding across the water, this sport targets every muscle in the body in a short time span, explains Ben Ifel, a windsurfing instructor at Delray Beach Water Sports. Yet, with the waves crashing by, you’ll hardly realize all the calories you’re burning. Windsurfing is suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Simply get on board and go with the wind. Delray Beach Water Sports, located on the beach less than a mile south of Atlantic Avenue, provides lessons and rentals. (561-279-0008, delraybeachwatersports.com)…

If you boated in Palm Beach County in the 1960s, chances are you headed to Singer Island to marvel at the Amaryllis shipwreck. After running aground, the Amaryllis served as a popular attraction from 1965 to 1968, when it sank and became an artificial reef. Images from this wreck and more will be on display beginning September 5 at the Historical Society of Palm Beach County’s Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum as part of the new exhibit “Shipwreck!” This display highlights regional shipwrecks dating back to the Spanish Colonial era and continuing through the 1960s. The exhibit looks not only at the wreckages but also at concurrent developmental history and the changing perception of treasure, explains Nicholas Golubov, HSPBC’s research director. “In 1660, those treasures were…

This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the movie Belle de Jour, in which Catherine Deneuve wore Roger Vivier’s “pilgrim” buckle heels. The film—and the shoes—became an instant global success. In honor of this slice of fashion history, creative director Bruno Frisoni designed a new pump with an oversized square buckle and chunky podium heel inspired by the design from the ’60s. Both the patent leather day version ($1,050) and the blinged-out velvet evening edition ($1,395) offer modern takes on the original’s elegant simplicity. Turn the page for more fall fashion.…

The 1,785-mile-long Danube River commences in Germany’s Black Forest and flows through 10 countries—more than any other river on Earth—before emptying into the Black Sea by way of Romania. Its upper reaches, long hailed as one of the most photogenic and popular routes on the river cruise circuit, pass through the best of Germany, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary, where bucolic towns and medieval castles enchant at every turn. Beyond northern Hungary, however, the undeveloped and unpolished Lower Danube lacked the touristic value of its upper sibling, branding Budapest—and all its Art Nouveau and Gothic Revival riverside grandeur—the ideal Danube terminus. Cruise over. Roll credits. But due to a growing interest in authentic experiences off the beaten path as well as ease in accessing Eastern Europe’s once forbidden lands, luxury travelers…

NEW TABLE Could there be a swankier place to dine than Sant Ambroeus? The Milanese restaurant whose Manhattan and Southampton outposts we’ve loved for years is finally in Palm Beach, within the chic confines of the reimagined Royal Poinciana Plaza. If we must say so, the lush, if retro, European design of the Palm Beach location outshines them all. The velvet settees, the terrazzo floors, and the fluted mahogany paneling make us swoon, to say nothing of the charming gelato cart perched on The Royal’s black-and-white checkerboard tiles. But is the food good? That we answer with an enthusiastic, “Ovviamente!” Everyone loves a makeover story, and The Warehouse District might be one of West Palm Beach’s greatest transformations ever. Once a block of old industrial buildings, the 85,000-square-foot lifestyle compound…

Not only is cuisine a current reflection of our culture, it’s also telling of our past. Taste History Culinary Tours, a program from the Museum of Lifestyle and Fashion History, illustrates the story of South Florida’s native inhabitants, Caribbean immigrants, early settlers, and modern residents through food. Founder Lori Durante leads narrated tours that travel through three areas by bus and on foot: West Palm Beach, Lake Worth and Lantana, and Delray Beach and Boynton Beach. Over the span of three to four hours, attendees learn the heritage of each city as they sink their teeth into generous samplings from family-owned eateries. The tours highlight hidden gems and shine new light on cultural treasures you may unknowingly pass by on a regular basis, making them ideal for out-of-towners and locals…

How do you sell so many houses? It’s a question they get all the time. The answers are simple, but not always easy. Waterfront Properties and Club Communities luxury real estate agents reiterate a similar theme, crediting hard work, and Waterfront’s innovative model as two main reasons they sell so many homes. Increasingly over the last three decades, Waterfront Properties has accounted for more north county luxury waterfront real estate transactions than any other single brokerage. From the initial contact to contracts, there’s a precise and intentional process that drives the sale and purchase of homes. “Our model creates urgency,” Waterfront Properties Managing Partner Rob Thomson says. “Retaining a sense of urgency throughout the process means we drive the process. We can’t predict the finish line, but we know that…
