No matter how much we love Palm Beach, summer lures us to places near and far, each destination bearing the promise of a new adventure. That process of discovery informs our July/August issue, dedicated this year to all the areas that suffered after last summer’s mean hurricane season—and have gloriously bounced back. First on the list is our cover location, St. Barth. Like many Palm Beachers, I’ve adored this island for as long as I can remember. There’s no denying its beauty, seen in its cove beaches and charming hillside towns, but its cosmopolitan vibe—like a slice of the Côte d’Azur in the Caribbean—is second to none. In “Boho Cool” (page 31), we visit Villa Marie Saint-Barth, a design-centric resort on a windswept hilltop, for an off-the-beaten-path take on the…

Q&A MIRANDA LAMBERT Country musician Miranda Lambert’s career has been as golden has her trademark blond locks. The Texas native began playing the guitar and writing songs as a child and formed her first band while still in high school. After scoring a recording contract—helped in part by a stint on the reality competition series Nashville Star—Lambert released her major label debut, Kerosene, in 2005.
