From the Editor

At the height of the social season, it’s no surprise that the charitable events and galas in March far outnumber the days in the month. Of course, it’s wonderful to see all these fabulous fundraisers bring in so much money to support the underserved areas of our community that need it the most. The hard part is deciding which invitations to say no to because there aren’t enough days (or enough you) to attend them all.

Another dilemma during season, which is one we often keep to ourselves, is trying to figure out what to wear to yet another soiree.

In this issue, we turn to three stylish and charitable local ladies to share some of their fashion sense and sensibilities as they navigate the social scene.

Find out what trends they’re loving, the style tips they’ve learned over the years, the best fashion advice they’ve ever received, and much more. They help us decipher the “Dress Code,” starting on page 76.

When it comes to style, a unique piece of jewelry can also help take your look to wow status. So, with a nod to the change of seasons later this month, we are featuring stunning spring gems to help you sparkle.

If you fancy the perfect cocktail ring, necklace, earrings, or brooch, the color palette is a perfect mix of soft pinks, whites, and stunning diamonds. It’s enough to make anyone say “Pretty Please.” Turn to page 92 to revel in the glamour.

Whether it’s fashion, jewelry, or decor, this issue is packed with countless ways to express your own sense of style when entertaining at home or stepping out on the town. The choice is always yours.

FRESH PERSPECTIVE

Insider

When you need inspiration, who you gonna call? Hollywood actor Ernie Hudson, of course, whose role as one of the original Ghostbusters accounts for just a sliver of his long-standing career on stage and screen. His success came after overcoming major challenges at an early age. Hudson grew up in the housing projects of Benton Harbor, Michigan; he never knew his father, and his mother died of tuberculosis when he was three months old.

“I didn’t have a mom or dad, but I was fortunate to have my grandmother, who gave me an unquestionable sense of stability and love,” he says. “I realized the important thing was having a support system, someone to let you know that you’re loved and are going to be okay.” Hudson will be the keynote speaker at the Boys & Girls Club of Collier County’s Youth of the Year celebration (bgccc.com) on March 1 in Naples. —Anna Bjorlin

NI: What was one of the most memorable moments in your acting career?

Hudson: My role as Jack Johnson in “The Great White Hope.” We did it at the Theatre in the Round in Minneapolis, and it really changed the trajectory of my life, which would have been very different had I not done that show. I got many film and TV roles from that.

And, of course, my involvement in Ghostbusters. I still get recognized for that role 30 years later, and now I’m at that age where I can really appreciate fans of the series.

What was the best piece of advice your grandmother gave you?

She would say, “Don’t ask God to move the mountain, just ask for a different way of seeing it.” From the right perspective, it might not be a mountain—it might even be something that inspires you instead.

What advice do you have for disadvantaged kids?

You’re not your circumstances; those change.

The possibilities are endless. Just believe and trust the people who are there to help. They might not be a parent; they might be a counselor or a friend, but once you know what you want to do, all those people are just waiting to help you succeed.

Insider GIVING BACK

Building Community

Keynote Gift At the Women’s Foundation of Collier County’s recent Power of the Purse event, broadcast journalist and guest speaker Ann Curry was so moved by the work the foundation does for local women and girls that she made a snap decision. “We were presenting videos of the grants given this year featuring recipients whose lives have been affected, and it was during the presentation that Ann [said] she was going to donate her entire speaker fee to the organization,” says Cindi Withorn, marketing director for the Women’s Foundation (wfcollier.org).

“We never had a speaker do that before.” After deducting booking fees, her spur-of-the-moment donation totaled more than $27,000. —A.B.

Meanwhile, Naples residents Sam and Cindy Scalise recently donated a private residence valued at $2.5 million to the NCH Healthcare Foundation (netcommunity.nchmd. org).

Virtual Passage

Avow, a nonprofit hospice in Naples, now offers its patients a chance to experience some of the joy of traveling the world, even if they can’t physically be there. The Moorings Park Foundation recently donated five headsets of the Oculus Virtual Reality System, which can simulate experiences such as visiting the Great Wall of China or walking the halls of the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Last year, Avow Foundation (avowcares.org/foundation) created a wish list wall for its staff to make requests that would benefit patients and their families. The donation came after Cynthia Nehrkorn, vice president of Avow’s medical services, wrote “Virtual reality for patients” on the wall.

“We have a variety of experiences we can upload to the headsets, so we can choose according to the requests we get from our patients,” says Sabrina Kelly, a development officer at Avow.

“We’re also planning on implementing other therapies like aromatherapy or music, which will heighten the experience and make it more immersive, such as adding an incense scent in the Vatican experience, or the smell of an ocean breeze if a patient requests a walk on the beach.”—A.B.

Insider Elephant in the Room While equestrian polo is a well-known sport throughout the country, playing the game atop an elephant could be considered a once-in-alifetime opportunity. Naples resident David Partridge is gearing up for his fourth year of participation in The Kings Cup Elephant Polo Tournament in Bangkok, Thailand (anantaraelephantpolo.com) on March 8. The event raises funds for nonprofits like The Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation, which rescues and cares for elephants, and autistic children for rehabilitation benefits.

POETRY AND PROSE

• The Focus on Your Book Project at Lorenzo Walker Technical College in Naples guides you through the process of writing fiction and nonfiction books, from planning and organizing your story to understanding the importance of various writing elements. The six-week class meets Thursdays throughout March from 3:30-5:30 p.m. and costs $89. (collieradulted.augusoft.net)

• Naples Botanical Garden offers Writing in the Garden workshops from 10-11:30 a.m. every Wednesday through March 28. Writers meet outside Fogg Café to share ideas and exercises, and are given a prompt to inspire their poetry and other writing in the garden’s scenic setting. The workshops are included with regular garden admission, and open to writers of all levels. (naplesgarden.org)

vacationing in Thailand in 2013. While the game’s rules are similar to those of traditional polo, they’re adjusted for the naturally slower pace and larger size of the elephants. The playing field is much smaller than in equestrian polo, and each elephant seats two people: a player and a handler called a mahout, who directs the elephant. “The stick is almost twice as long as a regular stick, yet the ball is the same size as in equestrian polo, which can make taking shots more difficult,” Partridge says. “But it’s

A new charitable event this season is celebrating a major milestone at a time when the need for its services appear to be greater than ever. Florida’s Southern Gulf Chapter of the American Red Cross (redcross.org) is hosting a Centennial Celebration & Gala on March 9, at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples, to mark the organization’s 100th Anniversary.

“The trained volunteers at the Red Cross step up and help so much in the community, and it’s more than just disasters,” says Elizabeth Star, who is chairing the gala. “They provide so much education, training and certifications, and of course there’s the blood bank, along with a list of other incredible services.” The event will include a fund-a-need portion that will focus on donations to purchase an emergency response vehicle for the organization. “The Red Cross has a tremendous history,” Star says, “and this celebration will be the ultimate birthday bash.”—T.E.

The spring runways brought back the glitz and glam of the 1980s with bright colors, voluminous silhouettes, and bold prints.

Nowhere was this more apparent than at Gucci, where creative director Alessandro Michele accessorized plaid pantsuits and sequined dresses with bags featuring a reinvented “Guccy” logo, inspired by the font used on the Sega video game console. The mini shoulder bag ($1,790) epitomizes the ultimate in ’80s nostalgia. Read on for more sartorial musts.

BRUNO DHAIN CO-OWNER, BRUNO, NAPLES

When it comes to searching for unique gifts, Bruno Dhain brings a global perspective and a trained eye. Born in Madagascar, Dhain has lived in several countries in Africa, France, Spain, and even Thailand, before moving to the United States 25 years ago. He ultimately landed in Naples in 2000, and partnered with his friend Rick Goldstein nine years later to open BRuno in downtown Naples. The smartly curated shop offers a mix of jewelry, handbags, gadgets, and gifts. “It’s exciting and fun,” Dhain says.

“You don’t look at the same thing every day, and you can always find something for someone.”

Where do you find inspiration for the unique items you sell?

We are observing what’s going on in Europe, mostly for the trends. We visit all the shops in Paris that carry the newest items to see what the trend is going to be. Then we go to the Maison & Objet gift show in Paris and look for the products. We also go to the gift shows in New York.

What’s trending right now?

Puzzles are coming back like crazy, and so are board games and playing cards. People spend so much time on devices now, it looks like they are realizing that and focusing on being around family more and doing fun things together. This winter we sold so many games, I could not believe it. The new Royal Bingo was a best seller for Christmas because of everything happening with the Royals right now.

What do you recommend for the person who has everything?

A decorative Safe-T fire extinguisher, which is very big in Europe.

Everybody needs an extinguisher but these look cool in the kitchen and they add to any decor in your home. There is even one that looks like a bottle of wine for those who have a wine cellar.

What are your top three best-selling items?

Izipizi sunglasses, reading glasses, and screen-reading glasses, which have a special coating on the lenses that cut out 40 percent of the blue light coming at us from our phones, iPads, and computers. We just brought in a kids’ line of the screen glasses for ages 7 through 15. Then there’s the Secrid wallet that’s made in Holland and uses a special metal to block any devices that scammers use to try to steal your credit card information.

And of course, Sugarfina, which is elegant candy.

Not Your Ordinary Remodel.

In describing her art, the legendary Louise Bourgeois, once likened it to “a form of restoration in terms of her feelings to others.” Such sentiments seem appropriate as they apply in another form of restoration that has taken place in Naples in terms of the former home of an iconic woman whose historic contributions to enterprise and the local art community remain among the most esteemed of local legacies. For anyone familiar with the drive along glamorous Gulf Shore Boulevard North, amidst the palms trees and posh architecture, near Naples Beach Hotel exists a distinctive, split-level residence that has been poised in this position for almost seventy years. The home was originally owned by Maime Tooke, the very same heralded as “The Mother of Naples.” Tooke is not only recognized for establishing Naples’ first bank, but also for helping some of the region’s earliest of land holders amass their fortune and was equally fundamental in founding a variety of philanthropic endeavors, particularly crucial in the arts community.

In fact, Tooke’s Nephew Richard, the Former President at Friends of Art affiliated with the Naples Museum of Art, has resided in this home with his partner Charles for almost two decades. These are the same two chaps that could be routinely observed sitting on the front porch sharing a friendly wave to the passerby who often glanced in the direction of their home. That certainly figures, for while so many other structures before it have been torn down to make way for expansive estates or lost through the ravages of storms and time itself, this home and all its perceived simplicity of another era has somehow persisted.

When Richard and Charles planned to sell the property, they naturally thought of their neighbor, friend and fellow art collector, Chris Wilson. As opposed to tearing down, which has become all too customary given the value of land in Old Naples, he resolved to honor this special home through a remarkable restoration. Aided by Amanda Erwin, a Naples Realtor whose expertise extends into interior design and renovation, Jo Carter with “The interior Design Broker”, and Boyce Custom Carpentry began their mission to marry the old with the new, yet also pay homage to some of its more historic nuances. As Erwin says, “I am ecstatic to participate in a project that provokes the necessity to commemorate this unique home as well as the homeowners. None of us knew exactly how the essence of this mid-century beauty would shine through in the end, but it certainly has.”

To accomplish this, the renovation included an addition of a 21-foot circular pool now nestled among the variety of lush, irreplaceable exotics; the fauna that once helped this home become a fixture among a Naples Botanical Gardens’ Parade of Homes. The original fireplace remains, as does original hardware though refurbished, and new touches have made use of certain finds including that of an old railroad tie discovered within a jar in the garage. Some aspects had to be replicated, such as the distinctive louvered panels on the front porch, now complemented by a one-of-a-kind mahogany door. Erwin describes the restoration as a labor of love. “This home, its history and legacy of the Tookes, you can’t take for granted,” says Erwin. “We’re all proud that we could preserve this bit of Naples history and help it to better persevere through the future.”

hen interior designer Troy Beasley, of Beasley & Henley Interior Design based in Naples and Winter Park, was commissioned by BCBE Construction to design a model condominium for Aqua at Pelican Isle in Naples, inspiration for the project surrounded him. The marina community overlooks the Gulf of Mexico, a thicket of mangroves, and a serene nature preserve, so it made sense to emphasize views and imbue the space with seaside elegance.

To that end, driftwood-toned wood flooring, used throughout the residence, connects the interiors with the environment beyond. “Wood is soft and neutral underfoot and not too stuffy,” Beasley says. “I layer on top of it.”

A palette of off-white, taupe, and gray tones complements the flooring and frames the extraordinary views, while pops of aqua and orange bring in the colors of the water and sunset.

The dialogue between indoors and outdoors is also facilitated by the spatial flow. The open floor plan and banks of sliders create the feeling of a light-filled aerie. Sunlight permeates all spaces, even the kitchen. As handsome as it is functional, the kitchen makes a sleek, contemporary statement with gray-veined quartz counters, glass-tile backsplash, and white cabinetry offset by a dark wood island. The space is open to the living

areas, an asset during gatherings.

In fact, all common areas are ideal for entertaining. With spaces flowing into one another and plenty of nooks for conversation, the great room is the epitome of informal elegance. Beasley chose to keep lines clean and fabrics understated so that the focus would always be on the view.

In the living room, twin champagne-colored sofas face one another, with a grouping of five dark-wood tables between them. A carved Spanish antique cabinet provides a classic counterpoint, while a gold chandelier ups the ante on luxury. Reiterating the easy flow between interior and exterior spaces, the living room leads to a spacious outdoor living area.

Ever present in the design are chandeliers—a Beasley signature—ranging from elegant to whimsical. “To me, a chandelier is like jewelry,” he says. “It’s my way of finishing a space. A room is incomplete unless there is something grounding you from the ceiling down.” Besides, he muses, “It’s nice to have that kind of bling above your head. Like a dress without earrings, a room is not complete without it.”

The same kind of flair is present in private rooms. In the study, accent 58

pieces like a white cowhide rug, black cowhide wing chair with brass nailhead trim, and whimsical shades with a crane print make it clear this is no ordinary workspace. “This is a sophisticated space with some fun things thrown in,” the designer says. “It’s not overly serious. I can see someone sitting on the sofa, using an iPad, feet up on the coffee table.”

The bedrooms are restful without sacrificing visual interest. In the

In the guest rooms, Beasley placed a greater emphasis on the accent colors and used some out-of-the-ordinary pieces. In one guest room, he combined orange draperies with powerful art and a sea urchin–shaped chandelier. In the other, he opted for a lavender color scheme and a shiplap wall.

When designing guest rooms, Beasley typically asks who stays there and tries to convince clients to get creative with the decor. “You can get away with a little more when you’re not in there every day,” he says.

With a nod to the natural surroundings and a classic design with a few bold, unexpected strokes, Beasley has created an environment that captures the essence of waterfront living.«

COOL, CALM, AND COLLECTED Pamela Harvey of Pamela Harvey Interiors went behind the garden gate to design this guest room in a Naples residence.

“I fell in love with this botanical floral fabric as soon I noticed it on display at the Robert Allen showroom,” she says. “I used it to create custom twin beds and designed the headboards with a trefoil motif that mimics the roofline feature of the building. We added a bold pop of color with the Bungalow 5 chest in bright blue and pulled the room together with colorful accessories.” (pamelaharveyinteriorde​ sign.com)

Escape HOME ON THE

Exchanging city life for cowboy country seems like a concept made for Hollywood—but there is nothing contrived about this bucolic experience in the American West. Saddle up and slow down at The Home Ranch.

Outdoor activities, such as hiking and horseback riding, define the Home Ranch experience. Food worthy of the Relais & Châteaux badge is served at the lodge (above) and throughout the property.

In the 1991 film City Slickers, Mitch (Billy Crystal), a middle-aged man trying to “find” himself on a cattle ranch vacation, approaches a cow and says, “Hi. I’m Bob Vila with This Old Herd. We’re going to rope you today.” Then he slips a rope around the cow’s head and the cow takes off with a screaming Mitch in tow.

A cattle drive may make good slapstick, but it doesn’t work quite that way. At least not at The Home Ranch, a Relais & Châteaux guest ranch in Clark, Colorado, where cow

herding is an everyday event that guests can work, should they be up to the challenge. And it is work, so don’t bother to ask for an itinerary. As head wrangler Michael Moon puts it, “It will take as long as it takes. It’s a job.”

Cattle herding—riding across a fairly big stretch of the 4,000-acre property to locate the grazing cows and drive them home—is only one of the unique experiences that make a Home Ranch vacation so memorable. This is authentic Western ranch living; the difference is the guest aspect, which provides a window into a lifestyle that looks much as it did

centuries ago, when the first settlers came to the Elk River Valley.

The biggest attraction here are the horses.

The working ranch has upward of 80 trained mounts, capable of everything from languid trail rides to loping across acres of backcountry on an all-day horseback adventure.

At the beginning of the week-long residency, guests are paired with horses based on riding goals and temperament (human and equine) for the duration of their stay.

This applies to children, too. In fact, watching kids bond with their horses and become comfortable in the saddle is one of the most rewarding aspects of the program.

Rides range from easy to challenging, but all afford incredible views of the wilderness surrounding the alpine valley in which the ranch is situated. The Medicine Bow–Routt National Forest and the Elk River border the property, and the terrain rolls across highcountry meadows and aspen and evergreen forests, with the snow-dusted peaks of the Rockies always within view. The trails for riding and hiking wind through all that and lead to alpine lakes, old homesteads, and wide-open vistas that inspire awe for our nation’s wild and scenic places.

Possibly even more fun is the penning.

Every Friday morning there’s a cattle competition, in which teams of riders learn how to sort and move cattle across an arena and into pens. Think less rodeo, more cowboy Zen. There’s a version for the children, too, and the adults get to cheer from the sidelines as the young riders round ’em up with newfound competence.

065-Escape-0318.indd 67

When a break from the saddle is called for, a robust, Orvis-endorsed fly-fishing program offers anglers a prolific patch of water right on property. The part of the Elk River that passes through The Home Ranch is rich in brook, cutthroat, brown, and rainbow trout, and the guides know how to coax the fish out of the water with expert-tied flies. They might even teach you a new technique or two.

Off-ranch activities range from rock climbing to whitewater rafting and can be easily arranged through the ranch staff. Rock climbing is an excellent option for children, who are belayed and safely guided up a rock face by local outfitter Rocky Mountain Ventures. It’s technical but doable—and a superb confidence booster.

One of the best parts of The Home Ranch

The lodge (top) overlooks a pristine lake and is surrounded by the alpine wilderness and horse trails of Routt National Forest.

Organic produce from the onsite farm (above) is a hallmark of Home Ranch cuisine.

experience is that there is no roughing it. The ranch offers generously sized log cabins with huge windows to admit the views of mountains and aspen groves. Each cabin and lodge room is furnished in the Western tradition with rich woods, leathers, regional fabrics, and art.

But the best surprise comes at mealtime. The Relais & Châteaux designation means elevated cuisine and an outstanding wine program, and The Home Ranch delivers on both counts. Breakfast and lunch are served buffetstyle, with a huge spread of homemade delicacies. Dinner is a special experience, with a la carte presentations of locally sourced

meats, fish, and produce prepared creatively and thoughtfully paired with wines. To keep things real, there’s also a smattering of casual dinners. Pizza night at the ranch farm, featuring the bounty of the harvest, is a favorite with guests of all ages.

The week ends with a cookout and singalong around a big campfire, during which the wranglers give out ribbons to those who looked least foolish in the cattle competition.

Amid a convivial atmosphere of backslaps and laughter, head wrangler Moon and his wife, Dawn, bust out a guitar and begin singing country classics like “Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys.” Everyone gets into the spirit, and as the cool blue twilight gives way to myriad stars, the warmth lingers even after the fire is reduced to embers.

Le Château Frontenac (above right) is a great base for exploring Old Québec, to include witnessing the changing of the guard and savoring local foods and spirits, like Aux Anciens Canadiens’ Pea Soup Grand-Mère and Bistro L’Atelier’s Cowgirl cocktail.

There’s something undeniably romantic about Québec City.

Take Le Château Frontenac, par exemple. Whether it’s your first or hundredth visit to this charming Canadian metropolis, an initial glimpse of Frontenac catches your breath like a fairy tale come to life. Cue Beauty. Cue Beast.

Though nowhere near the colonial French city’s oldest structure, Frontenac has been a star of the Québec riverfront skyline for more than 100 years. Much like the Floridian hotels Henry Flagler built, Frontenac opened in 1893 as a luxury stopover for wealthy railroad patrons. Now a Fairmont hotel (fairmont .com/frontenac-quebec), it continues to dominate the premium market and set a cosmopolitan tone for a city as European as it gets in North America.

Québec’s heritage rests on its military past. Walk the wall around the old city for an overview of its many fortifications, including the still-functioning citadel. In summer, time your visit to the changing of the guard ceremony, complete with a marching band, bear-skin hats, and a goat mascot named Batisse.

Afterward, let Old Québec’s steep, twisty cobblestone streets take you where they will—to monuments, green parks, gardens, churches, art and history museums, galleries, furriers, and restaurants, microbreweries, cafés, and bakeries that are worth the trip alone.

Naturally, New France, as it was once known, is heavy on continental cuisine,

most gloriously its breads, pastries, and sweets.

Head to Paillard (paillard.ca), where divine croissants make a strong case for abandoning sensible dining. True Québécois cuisine, however, has its own character. Think: Lumberjack meets Escoffier. La Buche Cuisine Québécoise (restolabuche.com) excels in the genre. It oneups folk staple poutine by adding duck confit to the requisite french fries topped with cheese curds and gravy. Another gem, Aux Anciens Canadiens (auxancienscanadiens.qc.ca), a culinary tradition, resides nearby in a circa-1675 home.

Escape the city walls to discover the vibrant nightlife and nouvelle cuisine of nearby Grande Allée. For a contemporary contrast, try ultramodern Bistro L’Atelier (bistrolatelier.com), which touts craft cocktails and tartare tapas.

In Lower Town, art galleries, more superb restaurants, the excellent Musée de la Civilisation (mcq.org), and day cruises along the St. Lawrence River await. Two trendy lodgings in historic digs—Hotel 71 (hotel71.ca) and Auberge Saint-Antoine (saint-antoine.com)—exude the hip vibe that keeps Old Québec young and travelers of all ages ever enchanted. «

RAISING THE BAR Lincoln’s super-deluxe Navigator Black Label brings a new level of luxury, space, and comfort to the full-size SUV sector

By Howard Walker 72

To quote the Dublin-born poet, playwright, and man-about-town Oscar Wilde: “Let me be surrounded by luxury, I can do without the necessities.”

Had Oscar not shuffled off this mortal coil at the turn of the nineteenth century, he could well have been referring to the new benchmark in full-size SUV luxury that is the 2018 Lincoln Navigator.

Here is a vehicle that spreads opulence around its cabin like a drywaller spreads plaster. If Lincoln’s designers could have gotten away with hanging a crystal chandelier from the rearview mirror or wrapping the shift lever in ermine, I’m sure they would have.

Just climb up, way up, behind the wheel and relax in the Navigator’s remarkable 30way power-adjustable front seats. Really, nothing else on the market compares. They heat, cool, massage, extend at the base, and have individual contorting cushions to cradle each thigh. Did I mention the power shoulder support? A La-Z-Boy, by comparison, feels like a wooden barstool.

The entire cabin, with its funky mid-century modern vibe and cues from landmark Lincolns past, sets this Navigator apart. It’s truly gorgeous. And a tactile overload, too, with all that exquisite hand-stitched leather, shiny chrome, rich timber, and brushed metal.

If space counts as luxury, this ’Gator is a suite at the Ritz. It has three rows of pews, yet the third—which on most SUVs is best suited to pet Chihuahuas and newborns—offers as much knee room as the middle.

As with previous Navigators, this thing is h-u-u-ge, coming in at almost 18 feet bow to stern. Drivers who opt for the extended version get yet another foot. If you need to carry six or seven of your closest friends, family members, or half of your kid’s Little League squad in stretch-out ease, then this Navigator is for you.

Thankfully, Lincoln’s single-minded obsession with muffling noise keeps the Navigator serenely hushed, even under pedal-to-themetal acceleration. At 75 mph on I-95, you’re likely to hear more noise in the Lincoln Library at midnight.

HEATHER DOCKWEILER Classic with a bit of an edge is how Heather Dockweiler describes her personal style. While she likes to keep it simple, she isn’t afraid to step outside her comfort zone when it comes to fashion—and encourages others to do the same. “When you shop, there are always items you like, but you think they are totally ‘not me,’ ” she says.

“I have learned to take at least one of those items into the fitting room because you never know. Often times, I am pleasantly surprised!”

Favorite fashion staple: Fabulous earrings—they can transform any outfit.

Best fashion advice she has received: Be yourself, no matter what the fashion trends are at the moment.

A trend she’s loving right now: I don’t wear too many prints, but I am fascinated by the art-infused prints that are trending for spring. I grew up in an artistic family and have always been surrounded by art, so it’s exciting to combine the two mediums. It gives an interesting dimension to the clothes, while inspiring a new facet of artistic expression among a lot of different people.

Coveted items in her wardrobe: My Lululemon and Terez leggings. Most days I go for comfort, style, fun, and function. I live in them.

Esteemed designers: There are so many to choose from, but right off the bat I would have to say Brunello Cucinelli and Max Mara are my favorites.

ASHLEY GERRY Though her look varies from bohemian chic to more “girly, flirty,” Ashley Gerry says her personal style is designed to exude her personality—no matter the occasion. “There are also times when I feel like dressing a bit edgy and sexy, but I always include romantic, classic details,” she says.

Best fashion advice she received: Don’t be afraid to take risks. Just because we live in a beach town, doesn’t mean you have to always dress like it!

Style is…a personal expression without having to speak. You can buy fashion, but it’s how you style it that makes it—and it goes further than clothes.

Style includes your hair, makeup, and your smile.

A trend she’s loving: Red on red on red—from head to toe!

Style tip: Interpret trends and editorials and incorporate them into your everyday life. It’s not necessary to wear a runway look from head to toe to be on trend. Express yourself. Don’t let someone else speak for you.

Worst fashion faux pas: I had a teal dress for an event, but I got a spray tan beforehand and I looked orange.

It was my first and last spray tan. I also had my hair done—and it was terrible. Not my finest moment!

When it comes to fashion, Jennifer Parisi describes her personal style as experimental. “I view clothing, shoes, and accessories as art for the body,” she says, “I’m attracted to all kinds of looks and styles, so I enjoy mixing and matching different pieces in my wardrobe to create a versatile look.”

Style tip: Embrace your shape and know which silhouettes flatter you.

If it brings a smile to your face when you put it on, you’re stylish.

Favorite staple: Jeans and a silk blouse. And I couldn’t live without all my crazy yoga pants!

Best fashion advice she received: Find and use an amazing tailor. Don’t overspend or blow your shopping budget on a short-lived fashion fad or trend.

Coveted item in her wardrobe: It changes from season to season, but currently it’s a floral embroidered and studded leather motorcycle jacket.

And since I live in Southwest Florida, it doesn’t make an appearance outside of my closet very often!

A trend she’s loving: Bold and bright colors. Most of the time, I love throwing a bright pop of color into whatever I’m wearing, whether it’s a bright-colored heel or a colorful scarf or accessory. Also, I’m loving the highwaisted pants that are in right now.

A LASTING

Connection

PHILANTHROPISTS MARY PAT AND FRANK HUSSEY HOST A PARTY FOR LOCAL YOUTH TO SHARE A TASTE OF SUCCESS, AS THE COUPLE ENLISTS SUPPORT FOR A NONPROFIT THEY HAVE BEEN DEDICATED TO FOR 25 YEARS AND COUNTING 88

On a beautiful evening during season, guests gathered at the Port Royal home of Mary Pat and Frank Hussey for a cocktail party to introduce new friends to the Boys & Girls Club of Collier County, a cause that has been close to the couple’s hearts for more than 25 years.

It was a full-circle moment.

Mary Pat, a New York native, was instrumental in starting the nonprofit in 1992, which now serves nearly 3,300 youth, ages 6 to 18, through its clubs and afterschool programs, and through its partnership with the Naples Children and Education Foundation and Flor-

ida’s 21st Century Community Learning Centers. On March 1, the Husseys will co-chair the annual Youth of the Year Celebration, the finale of an annual program for the Club’s high-achieving teens.

During the cocktail party at the Husseys’ home, the couple took the opportunity to share a taste of the Club’s success. As party guests milled about the home, they were ushered outside to nibble on delicious and healthful appetizers prepared by young people who are part of the Club’s culinary program. The Husseys brought in the Blue CanTeen, the first not-for-profit

Boys & Girls Club food truck in the country, which launched under the direction of Mary Pat and Boys & Girls Club of Collier County CEO and President Theresa Shaw in October 2015. Mary Pat was also there on launch day, sitting on campus at the picnic tables amongst the youngsters, enjoying one of the first freshly prepared lunches from the Blue CanTeen. The concept not only fits one of the Club’s core principles, which is living a healthy lifestyle, but it’s also an opportunity for the teens to learn culinary skills and entrepreneurship. During the Husseys’ party, the Club’s chef and its kids served party favorites, like local tuna tartare, while guests savored conversations with the kids just as much as the culinary delights.

“It was so impressive to see the children serving food and mixing with our attendees,” says Mary Pat. “I’ve known a few of the children since they were very young. It was an emotional evening to see these kids out there working and finding a path for their future.”

The Husseys have owned their second home in Naples since 1972. Following their children’s college graduations, Mary Pat reflected on her years of volunteering for their schools, as well as her tenure as an elementary school teacher.

“I wanted to do something for the community because we were a small community growing very fast,” she says. “I chose to focus on young people because that was my area of expertise.”

In 1992, Mary Pat attended a luncheon for a thennew nonprofit called Girls Incorporated. “It hit a very strong note in my heart and I said, ‘This is what I’m go-

ing to do. I want to get involved.’ All of a sudden, I was invited to join their board,” she says. “From that day on, I was committed and passionate about the cause.”

One year later, Mary Pat was named chair of the board. It wasn’t long before she recognized the need was much greater than she could have known. Many families of the young girls being

served would frequently ask a follow-up question: Was there support available for their sons as well? That sparked Mary Pat to initiate the merger of Girls Incorporated with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Over the years, the Husseys have hosted numerous dinners to enlist their friends’ support for the cause, taking every opportunity to underscore the Club’s mission

and the need to continue helping underserved communities.

“When I bring people out for tours of the Club, it’s so heartwarming, particularly, to see the little children because they’re so happy to see faces that they know,” she says. “They like to run up and put their arms around you. They’re thankful for the attention. They say, “Hi, Miss Mary Pat!”

In 2017, Mary Pat was named State Board Member of the Year, for her years of philanthropic dedication and efforts to advance the mission of the local Club.

Other milestones for Mary Pat, who currently serves on the executive committee, include the Boys & Girls Club of Collier County’s move to the Nichols Campus on Davis Boulevard in 2001.

Most recently, the big news was the ground-

088-HusseyProfile_0318.indd 91

breaking of the Bolch Campus in Immokalee last November, which was named after philanthropists Susan and Carl Bolch Jr., who donated $3 million. Susan Bolch, who attended the Husseys’ cocktail party with husband Carl, is the current chair of the nonprofit.

“I am proud that we, as an organization, have the tools to educate the children and it’s very heartwarming to know that we are a great help

to these parents, particularly single parents, who are struggling,” says Mary Pat. “There are instances where we not only see the kids but have interaction with some of the parents or single moms.

It is a very emotional feeling hearing some of the stories from the parents when they pick up their kids and witnessing how thankful they are.”

This year, a prime focus is to finish the building of a gym and swimming pool on the Bolch Campus. Once complete, the Boys & Girls Club of Collier County will be able to serve 200 more young people in Immokalee. “We have a wonderful track record of the kids we have served,” says Mary Pat. “One hundred percent of our seniors throughout the years have graduated from high school. Many of them are coming back and giving back time during the summer, and are successful in the careers they’ve pursued. This has given them opportunities.”

Theresa Shaw, the Club’s CEO, says Mary Pat has been a strong and steady force in making sure as many local children as possible are afforded those opportunities.

“She has certainly been the foundation of what we have become today,” Shaw says. “I haven’t seen any mountain too high for her to climb. I think she is more dedicated today than ever.” « NAPLESILLUSTRATED.COM | MARCH 2018

If the weather’s not right for a trip to Italy, stop into Molto Trattoria (moltonaples.com) and sample its tagliolini pescatora. The restaurant is a family affair, owned and operated by Francesca Neri and her brother Andrea, and anchored in the kitchen by their mother Liliana, a self-taught cook who uses traditional recipes. For this dish, the tagliolini (slightly thicker than spaghetti) is made fresh daily. Cooked al dente, the pasta is served with shrimp, clams, mussels, and calamari in a light marinara sauce with chopped Italian tomatoes. For the Neris, who came to Naples from Rome seven years ago, it’s like they never left home. —Mark Spivak

confidential CHEF GUY MINET

Grouper Madagascar

Unlike most chefs, Guy Minet is almost entirely self-taught. Although he worked in restaurants from the age of 16, starting as an apprentice at the legendary Le Fouquet’s on the Champs-Elysées in Paris, his experience was primarily in the dining room. In fact, he didn’t cook professionally until he opened a restaurant in the Ivory Coast in his late twenties. He traveled widely after that and came to Naples from Quebec in 2000. Minet, 61, formerly a partner and chef at the French American Bistro, opened Chez Guy Parisian Bistro in Naples in December 2017. —Mark Spivak

His cooking style: It’s primarily French comfort food. I use a lot of fish and try to cook a bit lighter, but I still serve duck confit and beef bourguignon.

On the comeback of butter and cream: I’m not sure if they’re good for us or not, but they certainly taste good. Even in France, where nouvelle cuisine has been all the rage, butter and cream are coming back. In moderation, I think they’re both fine.

He most likes to cook for: Friends. I also host a lot of small dinner parties. Beyond that, either someone I love or possibly my future girlfriend.

What he would order for a last meal: I’d start with a nice ribeye steak with a side of scalloped potatoes sautéed in duck fat with garlic. After that, a ripe Camembert with a glass of wine.

For the love of pastry making: It’s my specialty. We do all the baking there, everything except bread. I realized about seven years ago that I loved baking. It’s so convivial—you can make a large raspberry tart at home, share it with your neighbors, and get to know them better.

On opening the bistro: It’s hard to say exactly why, because I had a good business at the French American Bistro. It was a big risk, but I suppose I wanted the challenge of having my own place.

It’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.

Restaurant Gordon Ramsay

A Worldly Search for the

Perfect Meal

Visiting London and still undecided between dining at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay or Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester? Or, maybe you’re a globetrotting gourmand looking for a three-star Michelin experience in Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, or Macau. Decades ago, when the world’s best food was concentrated in France, the task of finding a life-changing meal was much simpler than it is today. There are currently 129 restaurants around the world that have received three stars, Michelin’s highest accolade, and two websites passionately devoted to reviewing them. British food writer Andy Hayler (andyhayler.com) had visited them all as of 2014, when there were 110. He pays for all his own meals, and offers subjective but fair evaluations on his site.

The anonymous author of Three-Star Epicure (threes​ tarepicure.com) claims to be 72 percent finished with the task of dining in every establishment, and seems determined to see the job through. Like Hayler, he pays his own way, writes detailed and personalized reviews, and doesn’t hesitate to point out a restaurant that delivers a poor value or seems to be skating on its reputation.

Considering dinner for two at one of these establishments can easily run up a bill of $1,000, travelers will want to access all the information they can.

They’re not likely to get it from the Michelin red guides, which are famous for terse two- and threesentence summaries of starred restaurants. —M.S.

According to legend, in the early 1940s, a Pan Am flying boat docked near Shannon Airport. The freezing passengers were greeted by bartender and chef Joe Sheridan, who poured Irish whiskey into the coffee he served them. When asked what they were drinking, he told them it was Irish coffee.

Sheridan later emigrated to San Francisco, where it is believed he perfected and popularized the drink. If you want to sip it on St. Patrick’s Day, try Erin’s Isle restaurant at the public Hibiscus Golf Club. Owner Mike Ward, whose ancestors hail from Galway and Cork, has been serving the drink at different locations for nearly four decades. While he offers variations such as the Dublin coffee (Irish Mist and whiskey with no sugar), Ward finds that the classic version trumps all others on March 17. “People definitely want some sweetness to balance the whiskey,” he says.

To make it at home, simply pour 1.5 jiggers (2.25 ounces) of your favorite Irish whiskey in a clear glass mug, along with two packets of sugar. Add coffee, and top with whipped cream. The original recipe calls for brown sugar and aged heavy cream, but on St. Patrick’s Day everyone can be as Irish as they want to be. —M.S.

Going Green

Channel your inner Irish with a round of the Emerald Isle’s finest whiskeys

BY MARK SPIVAK

O

Savor the taste of Teeling as part of a cocktail, such as the New York Sour (left) or the Dublin Minstrel (right).

n March 17, a large segment of the population will wake up to the realization they’ve suddenly become Irish. They’ll celebrate their newfound identity by consuming one of two beverages: Guinness or Irish whiskey.

Those who prefer whiskey will naturally reach for Jameson or Bushmills, as those two brands have traditionally dominated the category. However, there’s been a whiskey revival in Ireland recently, partly due to economic progress in that country, and also the byproduct of a worldwide boom in craft spirits production. While Irish distilleries may not be as well-known as their Scottish cousins, the following operations represent the best of the Emerald Isle.

TEELING: In 2015, Jack Teeling, whose family has been in the whiskey business since 1782, opened the first new distillery in Dublin in 125 years. Teeling offers both Single Grain ($45) and Single Malt ($55) expressions, as well as a 21 Year Single Malt ($180) and a Single Cask 24 Year Single Malt ($390).

REDBREAST: Dating back to 1857 and made at the Midleton Distillery (which also produces Jameson), Redbreast is the largest selling Irish pot still whiskey in the world. Production begins with the 12 Year ($60) and a 12 Year Cask Strength ($80). There are 15 Year ($90), 21 Year ($250), and 25 Year whiskeys ($515), along with the Lustau Edition ($68), aged in casks once used by the famous Sherry bodega.

KNAPPOGUE CASTLE: Mark Andrews purchased the eponymous castle in 1966. Together with his architect wife, Andrews renovated the building and started the brand, which is now known for its 12, 14, and 16 Year Single Malts ($47, $62, and $91). If you can find it, the 1951 ($1,250), aged in Sherry casks for 36 years, is an unforgettable experience.

116-POUR-0318.indd 116

1/26/18 10:21 AM

CONCANNON: If this name sounds familiar then you’re probably a fan of California wine. James Concannon moved to America in 1865 and became the first Irish immigrant to establish a winery in the Golden State; the family’s distillery followed nearly 150 years later. Concannon’s blended whiskey ($25) is a tribute to James from his greatgrandson, John.

SLANE: Brown-Forman acquired this historic label, located in Slane Castle in the Boyne Valley, in 2015. Expressions include a blended whiskey ($32) and the Triple Cask ($29), aged in a combination of Oloroso Sherry casks from Spain as well as new, seasoned barrels from the Brown-Forman cooperage.

If you want to go upscale for St. Patrick’s Day, there’s no need to rule out the major players. Jameson has its 18 Year Limited Reserve Blended Whiskey ($125) and the Rarest Vintage Reserve ($420). The Bushmills line tops out with the 21 Year ($155) and the Millennium 1975 Single Cask, distilled in 1975 and bottled in 2000 ($420).

Knappogue Castle dates back to the fifteenth century.

Today, Knappogue’s 1951 vintage (right) is one of the rarest Irish whiskeys around.

The best thing about Irish whiskey is you don’t have to spend a lot of money to enjoy it. For many who consume it neat or on the rocks, it’s far more drinkable than Scotch: the texture is riper, richer, and smoother, and most blends don’t have the vegetal aromas of peat. If you haven’t yet tried it, the texture is like a hypothetical cross between Scotch and Bourbon. It also mixes well in a greater variety of cocktails.

Regardless of what you choose, you’re likely to have the luck of the Irish when you open the bottle. «

Balance Brain Teaser

Most everyone knows leafy greens are good for your health, but researchers have found they may be especially helpful in keeping your mind sharp as you age. A five-year observational study, recently published in the journal Neurology, tracked the eating habits of 960 men and women between the ages of 58 and 99. The participants completed questionnaires that included how often they ate green, leafy veggies like lettuce, collard greens, and spinach. The thinking and memory skills of participants were also tested twice during the course of the study. Researchers say those who ate one to two servings of leafy greens a day were found to have the mental ability of someone about 11 years younger than those who ate the least amount of greens or none at all. Of course, greens are packed with nutrients that include folate and beta carotene, which have been known to stave off aging. Bring on the salad!

SNOOZE FACTOR Having trouble falling asleep? Grab a pen and paper. New research shows a better night’s sleep might just be a to-do list away. Many people find it hard to unwind at bedtime when there are so many undone tasks still swirling around in their minds. Baylor University researchers enlisted 57 people and randomly asked half the group to write down their to-do lists before going to bed.

The study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found the group that took just five minutes to write a to-do list at bedtime fell asleep significantly faster than those who simply journaled about what they had already accomplished that day. In fact, the more detailed the to-do lists, the faster the participants were able to start snoozing.

Better Bronzing

While living in a beach town means you can bake in the sun yearround, the dangers of too much exposure is enough to make you shift from bake to fake. After testing several sunless tanners, one rose to the top of our list for the most organic ingredients—and best results. Simply Radiant’s Organic Illuminating Natural Self Tanner ($35, youaresim​ plyradiant.com) was created by a Texas woman who suffered from eczema and allergies and was inspired to launch a line of handmade, organic beauty products. The tanner includes moisturizing ingredients, including sweet almond oil, avocado oil, Fair Trade coconut oil, green tea extract, and shea butter. There are no parabens, sulfates, phthalates, synthetic dyes, petrochemicals, GMOs, or triclosan; even the DHA, which is what makes the skin change color, is plant-derived. Best of all, the result is a natural looking, sun-kissed tan. While not as fastdrying as other tanning products, this one is certainly worth the wait.

While applying, take extra care when blending at the ankles, wrists, elbows, and knees, which tend to take on more color. If you make a mistake, there are products to fix it. Try: Bronze Buffer sponge (bronzebuffer.com) can help remove streaks with a few gentle swipes. Don't rub too hard.

It takes several hours for the tan to naturally develop, so it’s best to apply before bedtime. Wear your comfortable long sleeve pajamas to avoid any sheet stains. Even if there is mild staining, it washes right out.

The Financial Impact of

Divorce on Retirement Nearing retirement and facing a divorce?

Follow these simple budget tips to protect your nest egg.

By Judy Martel Divorce is never an easy process, but when a marriage breaks apart close to retirement, there are extra financial pressures. “People may think they’ve saved enough for retirement, but now that money will have to support two households,” says Tracy Stewart, a CPA and member of the personal financial planning executive committee of the American Institute of CPAs. Because of the division of assets in a divorce and the lack of earned income in retirement, it becomes crucial to rein in expenses right from the start, says Stewart. Most couples don’t want to focus on the bottom line and routinely underestimate how much they spend during the decoupling process, she adds. “But you need to pay attention because it’s a question of what type of lifestyle you’ll be able to support after the divorce.”

Stewart says adjusting a budget downward is one of the most difficult aspects of a divorce. “People reach for the more expensive item on a shelf because they’re used to it and it’s a habit,” she says. “But they have to really try to envision their lives and the financial changes to come. They need to put in the time to figure it out.”

Hand in hand with conserving expenses is avoiding debt, says Stewart. If you don’t get the marital house in the settlement, try not to take out a mortgage to buy another one. Your goal shouldn’t be to maintain your former standard of living, but rather to establish a financially comfortable retirement.

Still in need of budget guidance? Here are a few tips to help control spending:

Be diligent about how much you are spending on the divorce process. “Time is money, and attorneys usually charge by the hour,” says Stewart. She adds that it’s typically not the attorney’s fault when legal expenses rack up. Too often, couples waste valuable time by repeatedly hashing out personal slights and small disagreements and not staying focused on the big picture. “Divorce is emotional, and sometimes couples bring up the same basket of painful incidents over and over,” she says. When meeting with an attorney, Stewart suggests writing down everything that is said so you don’t spend money reviewing what has already been discussed.

Conversely, cutting costs with do-it-yourself forms downloaded from the internet is a mistake, Stewart warns. A professional knows how to “look under the hood of every property and investment,” she explains. Each spouse has rights, and you may not even know what yours are if you don’t work with an expert.

Be prepared with as much financial information as you can gather before meeting with an attorney. Stewart has a checklist of all the relevant financial documents and information. “The list is exhaustive but not tedious,” she says. “It’s comprehensive and there are

things on it clients may not have thought about.”

Think about the tradeoffs. Professionals can save time and money by determining which assets can and cannot be divided. In the case where an asset can’t easily be split, there are trade-offs that will compensate the spouse. “Professionals can give clients two or three property-division scenarios to get them thinking of equitable ways to divide property,” Stewart says.

The process of dissolving a marriage may seem arduous, but with the proper help each spouse can walk away with the maximum financial benefit. “People don’t know the intricacies and ‘gotcha’s’ of dividing property,” says Stewart. “It takes concentration and attention, and I tell clients to expect the first few months and maybe the first year to be a period of adjustment.” «

New works inspired by the Florida Everglades will be unveiled in “AURA: paintings of Nature” at Harmon-Meek Gallery. Since the 1970s, New York artist Tobi Kahn has been enchanted by Florida’s landscapes, especially the Everglades and the Keys. In the last ten years, while returning to Florida, he also went farther south, to Panama, Costa Rica, and Bermuda where he realized the dynamic and fragile nature of these diverse ecosystems. These paintings are an ode and witness to the ravishing gift of our world.

Daniel Lubner

MICHAEL CARONCHI

grew up in Southwest Florida, a place he’s called home for three decades. He opened Clive Daniel Home with his father, Clive, in 2012. In just over five years, the home furnishings store with interior design services has garnered numerous awards for everything from best interior design and merchandising to advertising and marketing. Lubner handles all aspects of branding and creative for the company.

1. What few people know about him: I was born in South Africa.

My father’s side of the family owned a successful furniture company; my mother’s side fought for equality. My grandmother was imprisoned alongside Nelson Mandela for several years. I’m proud to have a bit of both sides: the capitalism and the compassion.

2. Esteemed charities: While we are involved in many, I try to focus on local food banks. Raise a dollar today and people benefit immediately.

2 3. Greatest accomplishment: Professionally, it was our renoBest advice he’s received: vation of The Breakers hotel.

A little bit of ignorance, 4. Best Read: Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, mixed with confidence, will 3 Christ’s Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore. It’s a take you a long way. laugh-out-loud book.

5. Stress reliever: Before a shoulder injury, I liked to box. Title Club Boxing is a nice place to break a sweat. Now it’s all about meditation.

6. Favorite tailor: Elevee Custom Clothing. Rickey Lamitie is my style guru!

7. Best place to watch the sunset: Gumbo Limbo at the Ritz-Carlton, Naples 8. Great escape: This past year’s new discovery was Nantucket. It’s on the list for a return visit.

9. Favorite room in his house: The family room is the center. It’s usually a tangled mess of noise and chaos—a real thing of beauty.

Biggest splurge: About $3 million a year on new showroom samples.

Hardest lesson learned: Life is not fair, so get over it and put in the work.

Favorite designer: If I suit up, it’s going to be Armani or Boss.
