A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR It’s officially winter, and I’ve got some great pieces in this latest issue of Elevated sure to entertain and enlighten.
2021 has been yet another memorable year. To say time flies would be an understatement. It seems like it was just a few days ago the first issue of the year hit newsstands and iPhones, and here we are, saying goodbye to 2021 with this final winter edition of Elevated packed full of luxury destinations and lifestyle amenities.
Not too much has changed in real estate since Elevated’s first 2021 issue. The market is still red hot for sellers. Interest rates are still hovering at historic lows. With a rise in inflation comes a rise in rents, which means a greater ROI for investment property owners. And all this continues to push forward without any sign of faltering.
As for my team at Agentinc., we’ve surpassed $1 Billion in sales in 2021, which is a truly remarkable milestone. Together, we’ve created a platform for both agents and clients to thrive in, with a focus on advanced technology, high-impact marketing, and networking. As 2022 rolls in, I’m privileged to help continue Agentinc.’s expansion across the United States as well as internationally.
I’m extremely excited about this issue of Elevated. Inside you’ll find spotlights on the hottest dining spots, the finest luxury hotels and spas, the best upmarket retail establishments for holiday shopping, and—since its winter—you’ll also find a few go-to destinations in Sun Valley, Idaho, one of the nation’s most pristine and luxurious mountain recreational areas.
So, dive-in, take a look, and enjoy a wintry edition of Elevated sure to warm you up with our piping hot articles, interviews, and insights!
Happy Holidays and a happier New Year to you all!
All best,

THE SPA AT SUN VALLEY RESORT
LOCATED IN ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST INSPIRATIONAL AND ATTRACTIVE MOUNTAIN AND RESORT COMMUNITIES 46
The Spa at Sun Valley Resort Takes Holistic Treatments to the Next Level When you think of Sun Valley, Idaho, one imagines the epic mountains, powdery slopes, backcountry boarding, blood-pumping mountain biking, and prized trout-fishing that are synonymous with one of the world’s most picturesque recreational regions. But its not just about what happens outdoors that makes Sun Valley one of the most popular travel destinations—it’s also about what happens indoors. Known for it’s chef-driven restaurants, farm-to-fork ethos, and luxury lodging, condos, and penthouses, Sun Valley offers visitors and residents access to one of the densest amenity-rich environments on planet earth. So, what would one of the nation’s most celebrated luxury and recreational regions be without one of the nation’s most celebrated Nordic spas? The answer: It wouldn’t be Sun Valley. The Spa at Sun Valley Resort offers more than just body rituals, health and wellness treatments, facials, and massage therapy that literally annihilate stress, free radicals, and any other negatives you’re looking to remove from your body and mind—it offers Sun Valley residents and visitors a place to regenerate, revive, and reawaken their inner being.
Sun Valley has emerged over the years as one of the world’s most inspirational and attractive mountain and resort communities. Widely regarded as one of the finest ski, mountain biking, and trout fishing destinations, travelers and residents come together year-round to experience a life where nature and lifestyle take center stage in an active and inclusive community. But simply residing in or visiting a spectacular mountain environment surrounded by beauty isn’t quite enough to fully experience total body nirvana—that takes a little more exploration. In order to reach the next level in awareness, stimulation, relaxation, and contentment, it’s vital to immerse yourself within the surrounding environment, embrace the culture, and experience soul-enriching moments that perfectly synchnature with the inner spirit. And that’s what The Spa at Sun Valley Resort does best. From the moment you step inside “The Spa,” there’s an air of something not only relaxing—but also something meaningful. Something spiritual. Something enlightening. It’s what I call the “Sun Valley Effect.” When you have the distinct privilege to experience an entire town immersed in natural beauty both inwardly and outwardly, you inherently feel transformed. Transfixed. Transported. From the impeccable interior aesthetics and design elements, to the world-class staff that treat you like family, to the muscle melting treatments that open up your chakras for maximum flow, The Spa at Sun Valley Resort is built to give new meaning to the word “relax.”

STEPPING OUT Grit Cycle x Pink Journey Foundation GritCycle Partners with the Pink Journey to Bring Breast Cancer Survivorship to Light This past October, the cult cycling concept, GritCycle, partnered with the Pink Journey Foundation—a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to assisting breast cancer patients and survivors—to raise funds and awareness through a series of philanthropic events centered around cycling and socializing. Aside from hosting their own cycle-centric charity ride, GritCycle owners Jon and Gail Gray, Lisa Mikelson, and Dani Wellbrock also invited six community-focused restaurants to curate a unique “cocktail for a cause” initiative with a percentage of proceeds going to the Pink Journey Foundation—the result of all efforts combined: $9,141 raised for the cause.
“We are thrilled with GritCycle’s leadership in this effort and the overall community success in not only raising funds, but bringing vital awareness to our resources available to survivors in our community,” says Heather Menchine, CEO Pink Journey Foundation. “The Pink Journey Foundation plays a vital role in supporting breast cancer patients and survivors from diagnosis through survivorship, and we were touched to learn many GritCycle riders and instructors are survivors and have chosen to participate in our mentorship program as Pink Angels.” Several cycle events took place at all three GritCycle locations in Costa Mesa, Monarch Beach, and Long Beach in which riders came together to support the breast cancer community in a charity ride where $5 of every bike booked and 100% of signature “Grit-pink” retail sold was donated to the cause. “I’m passionate about this foundation, because early detection is vital to survival. Bringing resources and awareness to women of every age group is necessary,” says Brittni Dotty GritCycle Instructor and 14-year breast cancer survivor. “When people come together for a purpose, our community gets stronger.” Local restaurant hot spots Wild Goose Tavern, Country Club Costa Mesa, Playa Mesa, Muldoon’s Newport Beach, Dory Deli, and Helmsman Ale House also joined the fundraising initiative by creating the signature “Warrior’s Grit,” a pink cocktail (or mocktail) dreamed-up in honor of breast cancer awareness month. For each cocktail ordered, $2 was donated to the Pink Journey Foundation at all participating restaurants all month long. Aside from rides and cocktails, GritCycle took it a step further, hosting a wrap party at The Country Club to make one last big push for the Pink Journey Foundation. In support of the event were Orange County community leaders including Newport Beach Mayor Kevin Muldoon, Pink Journey Foundation CEO Heather Menchine, Lounge Group Owners Mario Marovic and Andrew Gabriel, Publicist Alexandra Taylor, and Valentina Khan of Investors Philanthropic. “The Country Club event was impactful,” says Kevin Muldoon, mayor of Newport Beach. “It’s amazing to witness different industries in the community come together for a common purpose that can literally save lives.” Elevated magazine is proud to support several philanthropic organizations locally, nationally, and internationally. We encourage all of our readers to get involved with our partners and continue to elevate their community.

To say the duo lives and breathes fashion would be an understatement. By blending fashion-forward yet wearable style with upmarket design trends, Theodore has established itself as the center of high-fashion in Sun Valley with a masterfully curated collection that stays true to Herb Fink’s original vision, but with reimagined flair. For our winter edition, Elevated sat down with Lily Debray of Theodore to discuss winter trends and inspiration, while digging into the Sun Valley fashion scene. The result—epic winter pieces that are built to transform and uplift. Theodore has been the go-to boutique for high fashion in Sun Valley for over two decades. What keeps your customers coming back to (re)stock their wardrobe? Customers feel confident in our current, yet Theodore-specific branded collection. Our casual, classic, chic, sophisticated, yet simple, clean, modern, comfortable, and most of all flattering selection makes Theodore items the go-to pieces in your wardrobe. I would say the best compliment we receive from all our customers is that they actually wear everything they’ve purchased for years and years! When it comes to fashion, it’s all about curating a collection that resonates with your customers. How do you select pieces that not only cater to locals, but domestic and international visitors as well?
so I love everything!
Theodore prides itself on its eclectic selection of brands. How do you consistently discover the “next big thing” in fashion? Simply put, we’re obsessed with fashion. We have relationships with top designers and we focus on what people are actually wearing. That helps us connect with our customers and discover what’s resonating. You split your time between Malibu and Sun Valley. Tell us what connects the beach with the mountains in your selection? Both geographic regions require a unique blend of casual, yet upmarket comfort alongside elegant, streamlined, fashion-forward looks. At the beach or in the mountains, you need to be able to go from surfing and skiing to a refined dinner or meeting at a Michelin-star-worthy restaurant. We create a collection that empowers our customers to comfortably transition from day to night or activity to event while still maintaining a high-fashion sensibility. Sun Valley is known for its epically beautiful seasons. How does function inform your collection from season to season? Because we’ve been in business for so long, we’re very good at picking out the materials and styles that can speak to each season. In Beverly Hills or Malibu, it’s fine to put some fair weather items on the shelves that can be worn on those 84 degree December days. In Sun Valley, we look for items that can be layered or easily removed depending on the weather and the lifestyle demands. We’ve all experienced it—it’s cold outside but it’s warm inside. What’s the perfect outfit that keeps you looking and feeling good both outside in the snow and inside at cocktail hour? It’s all about layering. If you don’t know how to pull it off, we’ll show you how. From the perfect scarf to the perfect over-shirt, to the perfect coat, to the perfect sweater, we can put together interchangeable pieces no matter what the temp is outside and inside.

BOTTEGA ANGELINA LAGUNA NIGUEL, CALIFORNIA
Authentic Italian Cuisine
If you ask any Italian restaurant owner if they serve “authentic” Italian cuisine, they’ll always answer “yes.” In fact, every single Italian restaurant up and down the California coastline claims to be “authentic.” But being “authentic” Italian isn’t just about the menu. It isn’t just about the flag of Italy on the wall. And it isn’t just about the wine, the bread, the cheese, the tomatoes, the gravy, or the dough—it’s about the feeling of being Italian. In Italy, there’s a saying—“La cucina piccola fa la casa grande,” which translates “The small kitchen makes the house big.” What’s that mean? It means love is at the center of authentic Italian cooking, and love is what brings the family together at the dinner table each night. That kind of love can create an intangible experience of not only tasting a beautifully prepared meal, but also connecting with food on a deeper level. So, for those of you who think a pizza is just a pizza, a pasta is just a pasta, and a branzino is just a branzino, it’s time to think again. In fact, it’s time to stamp your passport to Laguna Niguel to immerse yourself in an authentic Italian gastronomic experience in one of the most stunning culinary spaces in all of Orange County.

Welcome to Bottega Angelina. Bottega Angelina is new to the food scene of Laguna Niguel, but its visionary restaurateurs have been well established for quite some time with Angelina’s Pizzeria Napoletana in Irvine, which is considered to be one of the most “authentic” pies you can experience in all of Southern California. So it’s no surprise that when owners Shokoufeh and Filippo Fusco decided to open up a new, Italian village style bottega and ristorante at the top of a hill reminiscent of Cinque Terra they went all-in on authenticity. From the menu that executes perfect traditional dishes as well as reimagined specialties, to the mercato highlighting some of Italy’s finest imported products, to the bakery that reimagines old favorites with upmarket flair, Bottega Angelina distinguishes itself as more than an eatery—it’s a village in and of itself. “Bottega Angelina is founded upon creating authentic, fresh, and delicious recipes from Italy,” says Shokoufeh Fusco, Owner of Bottega Angelina. “When we set out on the journey to develop authenticity, we found ourselves importing several ingredients from Italy. As a result, we formed long-term partnerships with key importers and producers which gave us the idea to start a marketplace and create a self-contained culinary destination.” Combine fine ingredients with a fine team and the result is magic. Bottega Angelina has put together an impressive staff of culinary veterans with the experience and background necessary to launch the mind and taste buds on a hyper speed course directly to the old country. But you can’t get to the old country without authenticity. Executive

displays impressive wine knowledge and creates new and traditional refreshments to satisfy any curious cocktail adventurer. “We have dedicated members of our ‘il bar’ concept that create the recipes for our craft cocktails,” says Fusco. “We serve only carefully curated Italian wines in both of our restaurants, and our cocktails are seasonal and designed to capture the flavors of Italy—they are quite distinctive.” A cocktail in the warm sun, a dinner overlooking the Pacific, a dessert under the stars. If you’re looking for total peace and tranquility with an absolutely stunning city light, hillside, and ocean view, head out to the patio to lounge with friends, have a cigar, and experience the pitch perfect coastal O.C. climate every single day of the year. And if you have a chance, get there before sunset—it’s a magical experience that fills you with 360 degree citrus hues atop the sparkling blue sea. With an adjacent shop of exceptional imported goods, spirits, and wines as well as cooking classes, tastings, and demonstrations, Bottega Angelina is about as close as you can get to a small Italian village without spending 16 hours getting there. Bottega Angelina is new—but it doesn’t feel new. The interior design concepts may scream upmarket living. The menu may dazzle like a Michelin-starred restaurant. And the educated and attentive staff may be almost too perfect. But there’s something old inside the walls of Bottega Angelina—and that’s its authentic Italian soul.

NEW PERSHING 6X
COMPACT, BOLD AND CHARACTERISED BY HIGH PERFORMANCE.

Pershing 6X impresses and excites with a brazen beauty and unrivalled aesthetic and technological innovation, qualities flaunted by the model with the effrontery of the chosen few. The new Pershing 6X expresses the boldest and most fearless side of the brand’s character, through a series of new features that reflect the unparalleled high standards of the Generation X range of models, with which the Modolfo-based shipyard defined a new paradigm for exciting cruising. This model has all the right credentials to sail directly into the future:
THE NEW ENTRY IN THE GENERATION X RANGE HAD ITS WORLD PREMIERE AT THE CANNES YACHTING FESTIVAL 2021.

Pershing 6X is the result of collaboration between Ferretti Group’s
systems to ensure maximum ease of operation.
Product Strategy Committee led by Mr.Piero Ferrari, the design firm headed by Fulvio De Simoni, and the Group’s Engineering Department. Pershing 6X joins Generation X as a protagonist by introducing some important new features. Natural light, for example, is a characterizing feature in every setting, guaranteed by the extensive glazed surfaces in the hull and fully opening rectangular portholes. Carbon fibre detailing adds value to this stunning yacht, giving it an aggressive look while also contributing to the lightweighting process begun with the previous models in the range and involving the furniture and furnishings.

On the way back to the cockpit through stainless steel gates, a distinctive feature of the yachts in the range, is a generously sized sun pad with an ergonomic backrest framed by a spoiler on the aft side. The seat on the forward side completes this spacious sun pad, which also provides easy access to the garage. The sun pad can be further extended by folding down the backrest of the forward seat. Opposite, the dining area is dominated by an L-shaped sofa seating up to eight
Also in this area is the entrance to the crew quarters, with a cabin and bathroom for one crew member. The other outdoor areas are outstanding in terms of their aesthetics and functionality. Side walkways provide access to the bow area, which also features a generously-sized sun pad, followed by a separatechaise longue that looks out over the water and has a reclining, adjustable backrest for an unforgettable “water’s edge” experience. The stern and foredeck cushions are upholstered in fabrics by Sailmaker from the Mambo line. All the outdoor areas can be shaded from the sun by awnings.

INTERIOR The main lounge is entered from the cockpit through a sliding door that forms part of a large and fully retractable glazed surface, a now famous feature of Pershing models that provides continuity between the exterior and interior areas, creating an extensive open space for guests to enjoy. The entire setting is flooded with natural light through extensive side windows and the large sunroof that can be openedabove the starboard helm station, which has two separate pilot chairs upholstered in Potrona Frau “Interior in Motion” leather. The helm station shares the same family feeling as the other Generation X models, with a new yacht wheel made entirely of carbon fibre, featuring leather trim and an all-new design. On the port side, a C-shaped sofa completes the furnishings in the main lounge, positioned around an extending table for up to six guests. The possibility of raising and lowering the table transforms the dinette into an area for dining or coffee breaks. Opposite are the TV cabinet and storage compartments. Designed as an alternation of smooth and undulating surfaces, the materials used for the interiors of the new 6X are in perfect Pershing style, with extensive use of plain and lacquered wood for the furniture, parquet floors and Mastrotto Group leathers, which are also used for the sofa cushions to createa play on contrasts between colours and materials.
On the port side of the helm station, a central stairway provides access to the lower deck aided by a handrail with an original design that curves organically to create the parapet behind the sofa. The first Pershing 6X unit has a layout with three cabins master, VIP forward and guest starboard - and three bathrooms with separate shower. The version for the American market has two cabins - master and VIP - with a living space replacing the guest cabin. On the left side of the hull is the galley, strategically positioned to benefit from various sources of natural light, including a ceiling window and a large porthole that can be opened. On the starboard side is the guest cabin, with a bathroom that also acts as a day toilet and can be entered from both inside the cabin and the lobby on the mezzanine. A few steps aft lead down to the owner’s area, a full-beam suite lit by natural light through a vertically oriented rectangular porthole offering a superlative panoramic view over the water’s surface. Positioned along the starboard hull side are the bathroom, split into three areas that extend across the entire width of the cabin, from
which it is separated by two matt white sliding doors. In this setting too there is an unwavering focus on detail, like the spectacular bed head featuring an alternation between Zimmer + Rhode Tide wallpaper panels and sheet metal inserts. Mastrotto Group leather cushions round out this masterpiece of interior design, enhanced by horizontal LED light strips on the ceiling. The VIP cabin is located in the bow, with the bed skewed at 45° to the starboard side, a solution that significantly increases the available space, creating a cabin with similar dimensions to the master stateroom on boats of the same size. Similar in style to the master cabin, it features the same play on contrasts between the materials used and the colour shades chosen, giving the space an exquisitely contemporary touch.

New Lease. New Life. Welcome to the New Hotel Laguna. Since the 1930’s, Hotel Laguna has been a mainstay of the architectural landscape greeting Laguna Beach residents and visitors as they stroll the avenues and enjoy the pristine beaches of one of Southern California’s most iconic seaside getaways. Now, after shuttering in 2017, Hotel Laguna has finally reopened its ground floor with two of Laguna’s most exciting new restaurants as well as a living-room style lobby and bar that combines the old Hollywood panache that made Hotel Laguna famous nearly a century ago with an innovative modern take on upmarket architecture and interior design.

STEPPING OUT 15th Annual “Ante Up for Autism” Raises $900K for The Autism Community in Action On Saturday, September 25th, 2021, Orange County came together for the The Autism Community in Action’s 15th annual Ante Up for Autism gala at the Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach to raise funds for TACA’s continued effort of supporting families living with autism. The casino themed event was lead by TACA Founder and Executive Director Lisa Ackerman, Master of Ceremonies Johnathon Schaech, event Co-Chairs and board members Keith Banning and Dan Carney, who worked in unison to help TACA raise over $900,000 to continue providing education, hope, and independence to each individual diagnosed with autism. “In the 21 years since TACA’s founding, the rate of autism in children has drastically climbed in the U.S. from one in fivehundred to one in forty-four,” says Lisa Ackerman founder and executive director, TACA. “We’ve reached a critical turning point in diagnosing and treating autism, and we need all the support we can get to help those living with the
disorder, as well as to continue researching and developing new treatment options.” The Autism Community in Action offers several programs, seminars, and events throughout the year designed to enrich the lives of those affected by ASD, while offering parents the support system they need to continue caring for their children in a nurturing, educational, and united environment. With nationwide chapters, mentorship programs, conferences, webinars, online support groups, and medical scholarships, TACA has transformed the way families live with autism, giving each individual affected by ASD the hope and confidence they need today to build a fulfilling and fruitful life. With the help of a strong community of volunteers, supporters, and donors, TACA is able to provide education and services to over 75,000 families in need of assistance, guidance, and friendship. “Each month over 600 families reach out to TACA for help. It’s vital that we continue to expand our services and give these families everything they need to live full, happy lives,” says Ackerman. “We’re grateful to everyone who attended this year’s event, including our sponsors the Warne Foundation and Oldham Global. With each supporter we add to our TACA family, we’re able to reach more and more people across the U.S. in need of assistance.” To volunteer, support, or donate to TACA’s mission visit TACAnow.org today. @tacanow PIctured: 1.

WHY CHOOSE A SHORT SALE? SHORT SALE VS. FORECLOSURE Short sales are typically the best option for owners struggling with or underwater in their mortgage payments. In both short sales and foreclosures the property is lost, but a short sale only affects your credit for two years, while a foreclosure will affect your credit for seven years. It’s also important to note that a homeowner who has gone through a short sale may be eligible to purchase another home immediately. In the case of a foreclosure, homeowners must typically wait a minimum of five years to purchase a new home. Although a foreclosure allows you to essentially “walk away” from your home, it comes with dire financial and credit repercussions. A short sale can be a much better option for those who are not willing to sacrifice both their credit and financial future for a long period of time. Also, many banks and government plans offer financial assistance for a short sale, but do not assist with foreclosures.

recruit, train, and support volunteers who advocate and mentor these children, representing their best interest in the courtroom and other settings. “I am the only person in my CASA child’s life who isn’t paid,” says Joy Winger, a CASA volunteer. “Everyone in the life of a youth in foster care is paid: their therapist, their foster parents, their social worker. These kids know that. But when a CASA volunteer comes and says, ‘I am here, just for you,’ that is life-changing.”
We believe that the protection of our children is a fundamental obligation of our society and therefore our advocates and staff will fight for and protect a child’s right to be safe, to be treated with dignity and respect and to live in a healthy environment where they can learn and grow. At CASA of Orange County, our mantra is Change A Child’s Story. Being a CASA means helping to support and protect the rights of our county’s valued children and to give them the nurturing and stability that they deserve. With over 3,450 youth in the Orange County foster care system, your help is needed however you can contribute.

"2013 was a memorable year for my husband and I. 2013 was the year we sat in a neurology office and heard the words "I have some difficult news, your child has a rare genetic disorder called Angelman Syndrome. This disorder causes global developmental delays so he may never talk, he may never walk, and all the dreams you had for him when he was born will need to be modified." We were absolutely devastated! Jillian Stewart came into our lives 4 years ago as Carter's physical therapist. She saw Carter as smart, motivated, and capable of so much more than most people thought. She worked with Carter weekly, rain or shine, and truly believed in him and what he was able to accomplish. She never once has told us he would not walk, instead, she says "when he walks". When Jillian began working with Carter he was unable to walk even a few steps independently. Today, I am happy to say that because of all the hard work and dedication Jillian gives to Carter's therapy, he is walking independently with just some minimal assistance when needed. There are very few times when someone comes into your life and makes such an impact that it is life changing, but in this case, Jillian has literally changed Carter's life forever! She has provided him with greater independence, and allowed him to live a more full life. We are forever grateful to Jillian, not only for her huge heart and compassion for Carter, but her ability and willingness to work tirelessly with Carter through the ups and downs that have been the last several years. We are forever in debt to her and we thank God every day that she was brought into our lives."
