25 YEARS OF HAPPY SPORT
CHOPARD CELEBRATES THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF ITS ICON, THE HAPPY SPORT WATCH
​In creating the Happy Sport, Chopard invented far more than a watch, also introducing a unique allure, a flash of brilliance, an inimitable attitude. Its only rule? Freedom. Since 1993, the Happy Sports watch has freely combined various genres: steel and diamonds, the eternal and the ephemeral. A true avant-garde visionary, Caroline Scheufele dreamed up an incredibly beautiful watch, which breaks the rules of horology. Sophisticated, yet sporty. Joyful, independent, mischievous and thoroughly modern, it plays with aesthetic codes while keeping in touch with its essential femininity. Accompanying a world of changing cycles, evolving styles and inner revolutions, Happy Sport opens up infinite horizons for perpetual transformations, beating to the tune of feminine emancipation that remains very much on the move. Because life is far too precious to be fettered, Happy Sport encapsulates the pulsating rhythms of an uncompromising life.

Note from JOHN
W
e entered 2018 on a very positive upswing of activity and leveraging our achievements from the previous year. We exceeded our goal of selling $400 million in real estate. I am a firm believer
in setting goals and am happy for our entire group. Our business is statistic driven and our metrics are a big part of our combined story. We enjoyed a priceless international awareness of our brand on the first season of Real Estate Wars on Bravo TV. This exposure sure differentiates our group from all competition in town in a unique, more productive manner. Viewers got to play-along with the intricacies of selling luxury real estate and relationship building, while learning a few insider tips on negotiations and strategy. Our platform of outstanding marketing mixed with a brand culture of excellence, service and luxury expertise, has been stabilized by our numerous new agent growth to 118 individuals, that all bring their unique purpose driven style to the McMonigle Group. In addition, our Agent Escrow, Agent Insurance and Agent Mortgage platforms afford us the agility to service our clients with a total approach and on site immediacy. Our office space has expanded as well, with a new store-front visibility in the heart of Corona Del Mar. We are a concierge driven firm that welcomes clients with a luxury hospitality experience. We encourage our readers and clients to stop by and experience our concierge hospitality, learn about our new services and view our latest luxury listings.

EFFORTLESS EVERYWHERE: THE ROLLS-ROYCE CULLINAN PLAY VIDEO When Rolls-Royce announced three years ago that it would launch Cullinan, it did so in the knowledge that its customers around the world had asked it to build “The Rolls-Royce of SUVs”, with luxury, performance and usability not seen before in the SUV market. Many of these customers were younger, very successful high-net-worth individuals who are heavily engaged in the experience economy, and wanted a Rolls-Royce that would take them to the ends of the Earth in ultimate luxury. “The super-luxury lifestyle is evolving and Rolls-Royce is in the lead. Luxury is no longer an urban concept. More and more it is about embracing and experiencing the wider world. Our customers expect to go everywhere in luxury, effortlessly and without compromise, conquering the most challenging terrain to enjoy life’s most enriching experiences, wherever they may be. For this reason, they have asked us to create a Rolls-Royce that offers uncompromised luxury wherever they dare to venture. Cullinan is that car. It is Effortless, Everywhere. It is incomparable and dramatically evolves the parameters of super-luxury travel, translating Rolls-Royce’s ethos of ‘Effortlessness’ into physical capability, anywhere in the world. Cullinan will simply take the world in its stride.” Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
CULLINAN AT A GLANCE

a presence to match the magnificent capability of Cullinan, whilst setting sector defining standards for luxury and elegance. We know that many of our luxury patrons pursue sports or leisure hobbies that require precisely this type of go anywhere vehicle – Cullinan’s design gesture had to possess an immediate sense of effortless accomplishment.” “The label SUV is now applied to anything with a two-box silhouette and the least suggestion of going off tarmac. We envisioned an authentic, three-box high-bodied all-terrain car with a convention-challenging design and absolute capability that would satisfy the adventurous urges of our clients.” Giles Taylor, Director of Design, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. 12 | mcmoniglegroupcorp.com

BRAVO! The premiere launch of Bravo TV’s Real Estate Wars needed two screenings to hold all the RSVP’s of Orange County’s most prominent agents and influencers. Held at the Port Theatre in Corona Del Mar, guests walked a red carpet and were greeted by champagne girls with silver trays.
Photo booth fun of the new show’s local stars included props of Hoda, Hunter, Leo, Drew and John McMonigle. As the host for the evening John McMonigle appeared on stage to thank his agents and lovely new bride. A moment of prayer for the Las Vegas victims was conducted by Sales Manager Scott McDonald and demonstrated the teams’ faith based values. Singer, Kim Salvar set the tone with her beautiful national anthem flanked by a big screen American flag which is fast becoming one of John McMonigle’s signature stamps. The heavily promoted, World of Wonder production’s first episode, Let the Games Begin, was viewed with much anticipation as the McMonigle Team showed rival Team Relegance how the real world of luxury real estate operates. The audience enjoyed a friendly on-screen introduction that laid the story line for the upcoming new show.

WEALTH PRESERVATION PRIVATE CLIENT GROUP
76 | mcmoniglegroupcorp.com
When it comes to “wealth preservation,” high net worth individuals are extremely cautious as to whom they work with, regarding their long term holdings and luxury estate management. One needs an agent that specializes in luxury properties and estates. Oftentimes, these properties have been held by the same family for years- resulting in a high level of capital gains taxes if sold. Extensive IRS regulations are implicated and specialized knowledge of these regulations and processes are required. In fact, many homeowners in this situation do not sell solely due to this tax burden. Private Client Group operates with the intention of “wealth preservation” for these homeowners. Their program allows for “deferred capital gains” on the sale of primary residences or second homes. Private Client Group is led by Stephen Sutherland, a renowned real estate professional with a background as a leading designer and developer of high-end international resorts, residences, luxury estates and President of the Property Investment Division for Capital Suisse Europe. For example, the combination of real estate development and international finance, make Stephen an industry specialist for transactions of the most sensitive caliber. A recent article from Bloomberg News quoted Sutherland on a record breaking $44 million Emerald Bay listing. The requirements stated were that the buyer must put down a $6 million non-refundable option and pay two years of rent at $100,000 a month before gaining the deed. The seller wanted to do a real estate exchange that allows her to buy another rental property and defer capital gains taxes under Internal Revenue Service rules. “You tie up a spectacular property with very little money while continuing with your investment strategy,” Sutherland said. “And you can spend time developing plans for your new home.

N
estled on over 11 acres of ancient oaks and artful boulders in the pristine community of Meadow Oaks in La Cresta, Seahorse Ranch is a timeless fairytale estate built as a labor of love and creativity since its inception some 19 years ago. On a combined
parcel, this property is twice the size of most single parcel properties in Meadow Oaks and contains a main house, guest house, stables, caretaker’s apartment, playhouse, lake with gazebo, riding ring, and pool and spa – totaling 6,587 square feet of living space with 7 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, and garage space for four vehicles. Beyond the statistics of the property, as you pass through the wooden and whimsical entry gate, you enter a compound built for family fun and respite. The buildings are designed in the English Tudor style, built from stone dug out of the property and antique oak timbers from several Virginia barns. The charm of the main house is accentuated by extensive use of leaded stained glass windows, wide-plank oak flooring, antique chestnut cabinets, slate roof, copper gutters, stone walls, and carved wood and stone fireplaces consistent with the Tudor style. Inside you will find two master suites, one on the main floor and one on the second floor near the remaining bedrooms. The chef’s kitchen provides a four-burner stove, two grills, deep fryer, steamer, two dishwashers, two SubZero refrigerators, Thermador ovens, cooking island, and breakfast nook. The guest house is built in the same style and contains one bedroom, one bath, a fireplace and a single-car garage. The four-stall stable building continues the theme and houses a caretaker’s studio apartment and a tack room, with views of the guest house and riding ring. An enchanting walk around the property will also reveal a large fishing lake with dock and gazebo, a rock-style pool, spa, and waterfall next to the outdoor living area with fireplace, and a children’s playhouse made completely of stone and perched like a castle on a hill overlooking the main house and lake. Flirtation Walk is a winding stone path the owner’s created for family walks that will take you by dozens of mature oaks, massive granite boulders, the playhouse, the Cheshire cat, Peter Rabbit’s garden, the pond with bridge and waterfall, the “Throne”, and much more, while also being connected to miles of riding and hiking trails. The home’s magical charm is in addition to its modern functional features, such as central vacuum system, stereo system, security system, and 4 separate HVAC systems. The eventual buyer of this property will acquire a legacy property where no expense was spared - built with love, creativity, and quality materials that will far exceed its purchase price.

COOL JETTING By Valarie Anderson & Klaus N. Hang
Kurt Belcher was a disrupter before the term and executive style became cool. An Orange County native son, Kurt is President and owner of STAjets, one of the nation’s leading private air charter companies. He’s a member of Gen Next, an issue based organization addressing generational issues and challenges. He is also actively expanding his company nation-wide with locations in Orange County, Van Nuys, Palm Springs, Miami and New York, leading the company in a noteworthy, upward growth incline amidst fierce competitors with lengthy pedigrees and established histories in the industry. He acquired STAjets in 2009 when “Private Jet” became a dirty word and executive charter travel became politically incorrect. Private Plane Shame was the rage and flashy FBO arrivals went underground. It was during this time that Kurt started quietly building the “Cool Jet” company. Sitting in his aviation inspired conference room at an imposing 12-seater aluminum crafted table, reminiscent of a World War 1 fighter plane, Kurt opens up about the state of his business, his unique approach to jet charters and the private plane ownership industry and his goal to never say no to a client’s request. 82 | mcmoniglegroupcorp.com

M: WHAT TYPE OF ULTRA-HIGH-NET-WORTH CLIENTS ARE ATTRACTED TO STA JETS? KURT BELCHER: Our main thing on the charter side is we do a lot of stuff for studios and entertainers. Last week we flew Barbara Streisand, we do a lot of musicians, tours, Guns-NRoses. There is just not a lot of “US” that are in this area so word of mouth gets around fast.

RIVA 63’ VIRTUS In order to fully appreciate the majestic uniqueness of this yacht, we need to read the words of Riva yacht designer Mauro Micheli: “The aesthetic idea is important but I have no interest whatsoever in aesthetics. I am not interested in design in itself, I don’t even like it. The dream is far more important, and behind the design there must be an entire situation that helps the dream to express itself. Lightness is crucial.” And although it may seem odd to focus on lightness when talking about a twenty-metre long open yacht with a displacement of thirty tons, you will change your mind when you lower the handle and see how light the bow is on

Created according to the lines of the Vertigo, a highly successful Riva classic, the 63’ Virtus is an unmatched open yacht in terms of its class, elegance and clean lines. A host of details express Riva’s inimitable elegance, including skilfully concealed mooring cleats and electric winches to achieve a seamless aesthetic effect, the vast but beautifully finished foredeck to convey a sense of sober elegance, and the functional yet superbly designed signal mast. 63’ Virtus is an open yacht even when it comes to the interiors, from the

Part of their charm comes from the use of contrasting colours and materials, such as the pale shades of the oak alternating with the dark leather, and the juxtaposition of matt and polished varnishes - all in all a special gift to the five senses. Cruising comfort, too, is outstanding, with no perceptible vibration and negligible noise levels when travelling at a top speed of 40.5 knots thanks to innovative engine silencing systems.

THE WENDT AWARD
HONORING TONY DELAP Laguna Art Museum presented the Wendt Award to renowned California artist Tony DeLap during an exclusive dinner on Sunday, October 29. The Wendt Award, named after one of the great Laguna Beach artists of the past who helped establish the museum, recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the knowledge and appreciation of California art. Previous recipients of the award include Ruth Westphal, Wayne Thiebaud, Peter Alexander, and Yvonne Boseker. Tony is one of Orange County’s foremost living artists and has been at the nexus of art movements within the US, and specifically California, his entire career. In addition to playing an integral part to many movements of late twentieth century abstract art, such as op art and the California Light and Space movement, Tony has remained a leading practitioner of Southern California minimalism and “finish/ fetish.” Throughout his career, Tony has explored the concept of the “edge” of a work, concerning himself with examining the point at which painting and sculpture intersect. The University of California, Irvine hired Tony as the first professor to their art department in 1965 and he taught there for nearly 30 years, influencing several generations of Los Angeles-area artists. http://lagunaartmuseum.org

OHARA DAVIES-GAETANO INTERIOR ARTISTRY By Valarie Anderson
When done well, interior design has the capacity to affect people both emotionally and intellectually. Ohara Davies-Gaetano’s work seems to be filled with moods that elevate the imagination, achieving this connection of environment and a more enlightened sense of being. “I really believe a home should captivate, intrigue and wow the senses. A home should embrace the comforts of every day life but at the same time transport you.” Mindful of the surrounding nature and how the natural environment translates within the interior, Ohara studies the landscape, and works on a palette of colors and textures that enhances the landscape and plays off the natural beauty of light. Ohara has a legacy of artistic influencers in her family and those influences abound in her effortlessly blissful interiors. “I am a believer in less is more, but the less has to all be so well thought out. I never design, just to design… I like details that make sense in a space, that add dimension and that tell a story.” Ohara grew up in NYC surrounded by art and antiques and started traveling to Europe at a very young age. When most of her fiends in high school and college were heading off to Cancun, she was volunteering her time working on restoring old buildings abroad.

Her exposure to life from a different perspective has truly shaped her design sensibility. Even when she is designing a modern project, she always strives to layer textures and mediums within a home that have depth and dimension. Her signature interiors have a dream-like quality and she is well-known by her numerous clients for interpreting their dreams into their everyday living space. Ohara generously spends a lot of time listening to her clients and gaining insight into how they live, where they travel, what they eat, what music they listen to‌ understanding the way her clients live enables her to create a backdrop for their lifestyle that provides the everyday function that is necessary and required, but that is designed in an unexpected way.

She explains, “We all require a certain amount of functionality in a home, take a built-in for instance, but I like to approach every detail from a different perspective, hardly ever repeating the same detail in the same manner throughout the home.” Her latest project, in Corona del Mar surrounded by the spectacular seascape view of the majestic pacific is beautifully explored in the detail of what the designer has edited out as well as what she has focused on. The glamorous and crimsontinged light of one space gives way to slight samplings of pale, carnation pink that barely blush the layered accent palette of the dining room. Statement lighting and elegantly curved architectural features, throughout, instill a sense of subtle sanctuary and quiet, luxurious drama. The balance between natural environment and interior space magically intertwine and is enhanced by the pale sea palette and California sunlight. “Not only do I get to design truly incredible one of a kind properties and estates in beautiful locations, but I am blessed to have wonderful clients. As I continue to build our brand, I am excited to share that I will be designing a line of furniture, and I will also be working on some licensing agreements. We are in the beginning stages of our first cocktail table book as well. And as exciting as all of these new ventures are, interior design will always be my first love, so stay tuned for some incredible new projects across the US and abroad.” –Ohara Davies Gaetano.

COCKTAIL
Bliss
ORANGE COUNTY IS HOME TO SEVERAL KILLER COCKTAILS
By Rich Manning
The perfect fall cocktail is one that captures the season’s pure romantic essence in a glass. This is especially important in Orange County, where warmer weather patterns and persistent sunshine make experiencing crunch of crisp colorful leaves or the woosh of gusty winds firsthand rare happenings. Thankfully, Orange County’s libation scene is dotted with drinks that deliver on this promise with fantastic aplomb. When you choose to imbibe in one of the following magical elixirs, close your eyes for just a moment. Doing so will allow your mind to fully comprehend the feeling of sheer autumnal joy the beverages bring, regardless of what the outdoor thermometer reads. AQUA LOUNGE – GOPAPA – The snappy bite of cinnamon is a perfect way to warm you up on a chilly autumn evening. This alone makes it an ideal component for a fall cocktail. There’s a catch, though – the ingredient’s power needs to be mitigated by other elements so it doesn’t overwhelm. This crucial sense of balance is the very item that makes this libation offered at Island Hotel Newport Beach’s hip lounge so exceptional. Using bourbon as a base, the cocktail’s creators play cinnamon’s spicy sting against the inimitable sweetness of honey. Both keep each other’s flavor profile in check, resulting in a beverage that washes over the palate in a delicate and delicious synergy. 690 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660 949.760.4920

PROVENANCE – SAZERAC – Fall’s seasonal stretch effectively coincides with the holidays’ bustle, so the occasional strong drink to get you through the madness is very important. A proper Sazerac is the perfect option such times, because it possesses a bite photo: Provenance but doesn’t get too burly. This elegantly framed iteration offered by this Newport Back Bay-adjacent venue provides a precise example of the cocktail’s ability to walk such a fine line. The drink is as classic as it gets: the bar crew does not deviate from its traditional mélange of rye whiskey, Peychaud’s Bitters, a raw sugar cube, an absinthe rinse, and a twist. Of course, when a drink is this excellent, no alterations are necessary. 2531 Eastbluff Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660 949.718.0477

THE CANNERY – KIKORI KICKER – The Balboa Peninsula is an excellent fall destination for Orange County residents. The tourists have gone back to their reality, and the harbor’s mild temperatures blanket the area with a mild maritime vibe that practically opens a portal between Southern California autumn and New England summer. Matching this ambiance with a cocktail seems like a tall order, yet this impressive whiskey drink concocted by the acclaimed Peninsula waterfront restaurant – or, more accurately, their venue-within-a-venue Snug Bar – does just that. Bartender Mike West’s confluence of Kikori Japanese whiskey, apricot, cinnamon, and hibiscus tea is unmistakably autumnal in its flavor profile. At the same time, it manages to carry the aesthetic of a breezy June afternoon. 3010 Lafayette Road, Newport Beach, CA 92663 949.566.0060

YNK – SWEET ITALIAN AUTUMN – For some, the annual insurgence of pumpkin on fall menus has drifted into overkill. Fortunately, this cozy concoction found at the Irvine Marriott’s intimately sleek quasi-speakeasy offers a welcome respite for those that find themselves bored with the gourd. In place of pumpkin, bartender Ravin Buzzell chooses to blend roasted sweet potato puree to the drink’s rye and amaro base. Vanilla bean syrup, chocolate bitters, and a dash of Autumn Maple beer from OC’s venerable craft outfit The Bruery complete the marshmallow-garnished beverage, delivering a quintessential fall experience. 18000 Von Karman Avenue, Irvine, CA 92612

PELICAN GRILL – SAVORY OLD FASHIONED – There is never a bad time on the calendar to enjoy an Old Fashioned. However, fall is the perfect time to deploy slight tweaks to the potable. This is precisely what Pelican Hill Resort Bar Manager James D’Arcy does with this beverage, which he serves at the luxurious Newport Coast resort’s relaxed eatery. The beverage’s standard building blocks of bourbon and Angostura bitters are present, but they’re joined by touches of allspice, maple syrup, and the traditional Italian walnut liqueur Nocino. The inclusion of these ingredients gives the drink’s flavor profile a heartier edge; one that’s perfectly suited for fall’s cooler weather. 22800 S Pelican Hill Road, Newport Coast, CA 92657 949.467.6800

BUILDING ON HAPPINESS
By Valarie Anderson
L
uxury homebuilder, Keith Gallo knows happiness takes work but it doesn’t deter him from large scope and complex projects that take years to complete. He claims the process of intimately working with high profile clients, multi-million dollar budgets, architects, designers, craftsmen,
tradesmen and teams of specialists ultimately leads to one road and one road only: Happiness at home. When you gaze at the quality works of art that scatter Orange County’s most coveted locations that Keith has built, 120 in all over 33 years, you understand the dedication to a higher aim. The homes make you happy. As a guest or onlooker, one imagines how happy you must be to actually live in one of his creations. That’s how Keith likes it. It comes full circle, to fulfill his own sense of happiness. It’s a simple formula to be sure but in the high-pressure business of dream home building, a rarity. On a June gloom morning I was invited into a glimpse of Gallo’s world. The modern enclave was an unexpected surprise of matured tropicals and bamboo that gave way to a modern masterpiece

opening up to blue pacific wildness, due to the specific perch the home commands over a rocky cove. So many dichotomies, modern but warm, sleek but inviting, omnipresent but intimate, rich but understated and quite like the builder who created it. Keith has an even tone but is one-word answer direct, privileged but practical, confident but not arrogant and most of all he seemed anchored in a meditative mindset. He confided that honesty is above all his most esteemed trait and that he feels it absolutely necessary in the intricate relationship between builder and client.
“We are skilled at taking an architect’s design and creating a finished project that brings the client comfort and happiness every time they look at their home.� Says Gallo. Indeed.

GLOBAL GLOW GALA Raises a half million dollars for girls
A small girl in a blue dress outside an African village never left the heart of Kylie Shuyler. She is the catalyst for an international movement headed by an Orange County mom, CEO and influencer with the determination to make sure girls around the world realize their individual potential. As a nod to the girl in a blue dress, Kylie Shuyler, founder and hostess for the evening, dressed in a gem blue dress and spoke from her heart and experience to garner support for her big global movement. Global G.L.O.W. (Global Girls Leading Our World), a nonprofit dedicated to igniting the power of women and girls on a local and global scale, more than doubled fundraising goals with the first annual Glow Gala, which was recently held at The Resort at Pelican Hill. Over $525,000 was raised to support the organization’s largest global initiative, the HerStory Campaign. Thanks to the support of Global G.L.O.W.’s social enterprise partner, California Bliss, which funds all administrative and operating expenses for the HerStory Campaign, all proceeds from the Glow Gala directly benefit HerStory Campaign programming. For more information about Global G.L.O.W., please visit www.globalgirlsglow.org.

David Yurman South Coast Plaza Designer Jewelry AND THE LITERACY PROJECT IN ORANGE COUNTY ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. –John McMonigle and Danielle Potter together with Sue Grant and Kimberly Vig, hosted an exclusive shopping event to view the latest David Yurman Jewelry Line and raise money and awareness for the Literacy Project. Guests were welcomed with a champagne greeting and munched on appetizers and small bites while shopping the David Yurman Collections at South Coast Plaza. Proceeds from the evening went to help children learn to read. “We all have a soft place in our hearts for children and reading is the path to success”, John McMonigle confirmed while thanking the guests for their support. The Literacy Project addresses illiteracy at its earliest stage by teaching at-risk second-graders how to read. The statistics on literacy underscore the critical need to address illiteracy in the United States. Sue Grant founded The Literacy Project (TLP) to target underachieving and struggling students in after-school environments and to provide a 30-hour reading program and product “free of cost” to students identified as performing far below basic in English proficiency.

Donors dig deep at MIRACLE OF MOBILITY gala, raising $1.5 Million to fund nearly 19,000 more free wheelchairs Free Wheelchair Mission celebrates one million lives changed through gift of mobility, begins mission to give out second million by 2025 It was a celebratory evening in Costa Mesa filled with inspiration and love as more than 700 supporters of Free Wheelchair Mission gathered at Segerstrom Center for the Arts on July 13 to relish the momentous milestone of delivering one million wheelchairs to people in need in developing nations. But the guests didn’t stop there – at the end of the evening, $1.5 million had been raised, enough to change nearly 19,000 more lives as the humanitarian, faith-based organization began its march to its second million wheelchairs. Departing from the usual “celebrity” keynote speaker route, Free Wheelchair Mission flew in three wheelchair recipients from Vietnam, El Salvador and Jamaica to share their personal stories. It was an emotional night as the guests spoke about their disability, how tough it is to live in their respective countries without mobility, and how their lives have changed dramatically since receiving a wheelchair. While each story began with unique hardships, they all shared a sense of hope and gratitude for bright futures that include going to college, running a business, and giving back to those less fortunate than themselves.
