Innholdsfortegnelse for September 2018 i Palm Beach Illustrated

Jessica Fontaine Swift and Leah Logue have always shared a very sociable outlook on life. The Palm Beach County natives met at the University of Florida, where they were both social chairs in the same sorority. Last summer, they joined creative forces to launch Palm Beach Social Diary, a philanthropy and lifestyle blog that seeks to answer the “who, what, where, and wear” of Palm Beach. In addition to supporting local businesses and causes, the duo covers food, fashion, and travel for a wide, multigenerational audience. PBI caught up with Swift and Logue to discuss fall trends, Palm Beach style, local bites, and beauty secrets. (pbsocialdiary.com) PBI: An invitation requests “Palm Beach Chic” as the dress code. What do you wear? Swift: To us, “Palm Beach Chic” means colorful cocktail…

Barcelona captivates the imagination. It’ s a city built on the wildest dreams of architects and artists, businessmen and vagabonds. Its rise as a tourism mecca and beloved port on the cruise ship circuit has often be attributed to the 1992 Olympic games, which renewed worldwide interest in this capital of Catalonia nestled on Spain ’ s northeast coast. But the story of modern Barcelona begins more than a century ago, when creatives from all disciplines turned it into a playground for design, culture, gastronomy, and commerce. Take, for instance, the Majestic Hotel & Spa (hotelmajestic.es), a totem of Spanish hospitality grandeur that marks 100 years of service in 2018. In celebration, guests can dine on a special centenary menu culled from the hotel’s culinary archive. Available this year…

The concierge, or club, level at luxury hotels is nothing new. For a premium, guests can stay on a private floor, partake of bite-sized meals throughout the day, and pour themselves a tipple or two at cocktail hour. These services, of course, are not all created equal. Calling The Breakers’ Flagler Club a concierge level, for example, is like calling BB-8 a calculator. Flagler Club is billed as a boutique hotel-within-a-hotel, and it truly operates as such. It has its own vibe, very different than the rest of The Breakers. Rooms and suites, situated throughout the hotel’s top two floors and accessed by special black keys, have the look of residential apartments, thanks to interior designer Adam Tihany. Tihany, who also transformed The Breakers’ HMF and Flagler Steakhouse, gave Flagler…

“I’M ALWAYS TRYING TO MAKE THE THING THAT EVERYONE SEES LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT.”—MARISA MARULLI On a May day in Moab, photographer Marisa Marulli descended into a canyon. Dwarfed by massive monoliths, she searched for one particular viewpoint she just couldn’t seem to find. More than 300 million years ago, water covered this area. The seas evaporated and refilled, evaporated and refilled for centuries. Eventually, the water refused to return. The residual salt beds had their way with the region and, with help from Mother Nature and the luxury of time, created domes, ridges, and arches. It’s here, in the ancient geography of Utah’s Arches National Park, that Marulli hunted for the perfect picture. She followed Park Avenue Trail, a posh name for Mars-like terrain dotted with sandstone structures with…

The veggie burger has come a long way: Once a frozen patty classified as the token meatless menu item, it is fast becoming a serious culinary category all its own. Here is an assortment of restaurants that bring energy and creativity to the dish. —Mark Spivak At Death or Glory, diners may choose between vegan and veggie versions. The vegan burger has a base of forbidden rice, wheat gluten, mushrooms, and onions, and is spiked with tamari, vegan Worcestershire, garlic, and miso paste.

It’s official: 1980s glamour is making yet another comeback. Big shoulders, bold colors, over-the-top embellishments, and animal prints ruled the fall runways. Tom Ford, master of creating opulent, sensual designs, merges the best of the ’80s in these striking slingbacks, which feature leopard spots, zebra stripes, crystal-adorned kitten heels, and tons of sparkle. Excess has never looked so good. Turn the page for more fresh and futuristic takes inspired by the decade of decadence.…

The new tax law, signed on December 22, 2017, created an opportunity to double your gift without incurring further tax consequences. Each individual can now gift, in aggregate, up to $11.18 million free of U.S. gift, estate or generation-skipping transfer taxes during his or her lifetime or upon death. This means that a married couple can pass up to $22.36 million to their children or other family members transfer tax free. “The implications of this unprecedented new law may be different depending on your situation,” says Sal Tiano, Managing Director and Co-Head of Tiano, Armour & Smyth Wealth Managers. “That’s why we’re reaching out to clients to help educate them about the new law’s effect on their specific interests and gifting goals.” Everyone who has the resources may wish to…

Florida’s reputation as a winter haven for Northerners has never been up for debate. But imagine the state’s appeal now versus 100 years ago and postcards of theme parks and seaside cityscapes give way to sepia snapshots of beachgoers in turnof-the-century bathing suits and fishermen hunting high-flying tarpon. It was a simpler time then—and those nostalgic for a Floridian vacation of yesteryear can experience it all at The Gasparilla Inn & Club. Located in the village of Boca Grande on the barrier island of Gasparilla, this century-old resort helped put Southwest Florida on the holiday map. Founded as the Hotel Boca Grande, the original two-story, 20-room structure quickly grew in size and fame. Early on, it hosted luminaries like J.P. Morgan and Henry Ford, with the majority of its guests…

I’m channeling my inner Tom Cruise. Not the T.C. in tighty-whities and cotton socks bopping to “Old Time Rock ‘n’ Roll” in Risky Business. No, this is action-man Cruise in full Ethan Hunt mode, at the helm of a 600-horsepower 2018 BMW M5, slippin’, slidin’, and chargrillin’ rubber on the streets of Paris in the latest Mission Impossible romp, Fallout. Any heart-pounding adrenaline rush you might experience watching Cruise hurl the Beemer through turn after turn, outrunning the bad guys, can be easily replicated. Simply charge $104,595 to your Amex Centurion, press the start button, and floor it. This new M5 can lunge off the line and race from zero to 60 mph in a neck-distorting 2.8 seconds—basically the same time as a McLaren 720S supercar. The way it punches…

Like any other fashionable commodity, wine styles go through cycles of popularity. Drinking Merlot may be en vogue one day, but a year later—following the release of the film Sideways—it becomes the vinous equivalent of a Nehru jacket. Sometimes (as in the case of dry rosé) the category comes back eventually, but the wait can be a long one. Two familiar Italian whites, Soave and Verdicchio, illustrate the fickle nature of wine popularity. If you’re above a certain age, you’ll remember Franco Bolla. He was a refined and impossibly good-looking Italian gentleman who starred in a series of TV commercials in the late 1970s and early 1980s. In those ads, Bolla linked his family’s white wine, Soave Bolla, to the good life in all its forms. If you drank it,…

1 3-D Sculpting This treatment begins with tweezing or a wax, followed by tinting the outline of the brow shape, and finishing with thin strokes of a semi-permanent, waterproof paint that imitates real hair. Pros: Provides more texture than filling in brows with powder, gel, or pencil. Cons: Results may only last two weeks, depending on your lifestyle. 2 Keratin Infusion Just like a keratin treatment for your locks, a keratin brow infusion puts protein back into the hair, providing shine, length, and fullness. Pros: Helpful for those with sparse brows and hair that grows in multiple directions. Cons: Time-consuming. 3 Microblading This form of semi-permanent tattooing, applied by a licensed artist, deposits pigment into the skin with miniature needles. The ultra-fine strokes mimic hair, and it’s completed in two…

Many retirees dedicate idle hours to the pursuit of a hobby. But Art and Fatima NeJame, founders of Palm Beach Photographic Centre, took that idea further and turned their interest into a second career. After retiring from the women’s clothing business, the NeJames threw themselves into one of their favorite pastimes. “We had both been amateur photographers for years,” says Art. “I was taking pictures when I was 7 years old, using my mother and father’s camera. And Fatima did the same thing.” They began attending workshops across the country and quickly identified the need for photography education in South Florida. They opened the Photographic Centre in Boca Raton in 1986 and relocated to Clematis Street in West Palm Beach in 2009. Now they operate a 30,000-square-foot facility that houses…

BEST Arts Scene Lake Worth got even more colorful this past year. For its third iteration, Canvas Outdoor Museum came to the city’s downtown district and brought world-class murals to numerous buildings. One of the most impressive pieces can be found at the headquarters of the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, whose dedicated staff put in countless hours to help gallerist Nicole Henry move Canvas to the L-Dub. But Lake Worth’s artistic identity is more than just these eye-catching artworks. Start with the Cultural Council, which presents gallery exhibits throughout the year and tirelessly advocates on behalf of area artists and cultural organizations. One such beneficiary is the nearby Lake Worth Playhouse, home to a thriving community theater infrastructure that puts on large-scale productions. The Playhouse also supports the…

For health-conscious shoppers, navigating grocery stores is complicated: Deciphering labels can be tricky, and it can take stops at numerous different stores to stock the fridge and pantry. Earth Fare, a newly opened supermarket in Palm Beach Gardens, aims to end the confusion. Customers can stroll in blindfolded and rest assured that every item that goes into their cart is free of added hormones, antibiotics, bleached or bromated flour, and high-fructose corn syrup as well as artificial coloring, preservatives, sweeteners, and trans-fats. The small chain based out of Asheville, North Carolina has been expanding rapidly, motivated by a 2015 report from the National Center for Health Statistics that found that life expectancy for Americans declined for the first time in more than two decades. “It’s our belief that Americans really…
