RAP BECA C PHOTOG

January is a time for beginnings, and everything feels new and exciting. This season, we’ve felt it even more keenly with a flurry of parties, reveals, and openings that make every night seem like a celebration. One thing is certain: The face of this community is changing—for the better—and yet remains “the most beautiful place in the world,” according to our cover model, Hilary Geary Ross.

Hilary ought to know. She has been coming here since childhood and now, with husband Wilbur Ross (yes, that Wilbur Ross), calls Palm Beach home, even though the Rosses have homes in Manhattan, Southampton, and Washington, D.C., as well.

The latter residence, which materialized when Wilbur was named U.S. Secretary of Commerce, is the newest platform to showcase Hilary’s talent for entertaining international glitterati. Ever the diplomatic and effervescent hostess, she can bring people together like no other. As DNC member Robert Zimmerman says, “If you’re looking for optimism for our future and our country, spend time with Hilary.”

We were fortunate to have an exclusive with Hilary, who agreed to speak with us because of her deep love for Palm Beach. I urge you to turn to “The Indomitable Mrs. Ross” on page 84 for a closer look at this society doyenne, including stunning portrait photography by the one and only Harry Benson. Harry, of course, is a celebrity photographer whose career spans six decades, but he’s also Hilary’s longtime friend and collaborator. When I called, he accepted this assignment with enthusiasm, and I couldn’t be more thrilled.

Continuing with our “power” theme, we profile top equestrian Kent Farrington, who shows in Wellington in the winter. This champion has risen to the top of his profession through singular focus and dedication. Learn about his admirable approach to being the best in “Easy Rider” on page 90.

There’s much more to love about this issue, including a gallery of interior designers’ most memorable spaces (page 102), an adventure of a lifetime in polar bear country (page 65), and a look at the reimagined and oh-so-chic Royal Poinciana Plaza (page 41). Our pages are bound to inspire a fresh perspective in the New Year and beyond.

Wishing you a blissful, healthy 2018!

Royal

Samantha David has been coming to Palm Beach all her life, and each visit always started at The Royal Poinciana Plaza.

“Whenever we would get to the island, the first thing we would do was go to TooJay’s and buy a loaf of rye bread,” says David, who admits her family would often purchase two loaves—one to enjoy on the ride home and one for later.

David, the daughter of hedge-fund manager Richard Perry and fashion designer Lisa Perry, is forging her own path as chief operating officer of WS Development and head of Up Markets, a division of WS. In 2014, David purchased The Royal Poinciana Plaza with the goal of reinvigorating it for a new generation of Palm Beachers.

The John Volk–designed shopping center has gone through many phases of repair and disrepair since opening in the 1950s.

David enlisted Smith and Moore Architects and Nievera Williams

BY MARY MURRAY

Landscape Architecture to help recapture Volk’s original concept for the plaza and add modern touches, too.

“John Volk made our job really easy for us,” David says. “He designed a spectacular shopping environment and was ahead of the curve in terms of how he thought about the flow of the project and that everything would face inward toward these gardens. …

We wanted to bring it back to its glory as he intended it.”

The Royal Poinciana Plaza has gradually introduced new businesses over the last year, from the popular Sant Ambroeus restaurant, which opened in late 2016, to the influx of retailers that arrived at the end of 2017. This month, the plaza will celebrate its official grand opening. Turn the page for more insight into the new tenants and David’s vision for the future. (theroyalpoincianaplaza.com)

T he New Royal Tasked with bringing new life to the 180,000-square-foot Royal Poinciana Plaza, Samantha David dedicated months to simply listening to the needs of the community. After identifying common desires (a good Mexican restaurant was a biggie), she sought out the best in each requested category.

In addition to Sant Ambroeus, the Royal’s culinary scene has retained mainstays like the Palm Beach Grill and TooJay’s while also adding newcomers such as Miami-based Coyo Taco, West Palm Beach favorites Celis Produce and Virginia Philip Wine, Spirits & Academy, and The Honor Bar, a boutique eatery that will operate its only Florida location as an expansion to the Palm Beach Grill.

Those looking for some retail therapy will find plenty of fashionable outposts, too. More than 20 new shops have either opened or relocated to The Royal Poinciana Plaza.

Among them are Hermès, Cynthia Rowley, Beach by Everything But Water, and St. Frank, an artisan-driven home goods seller occupying a pop-up concept through May. Many elite boutiques are also opening their first Florida locations at the Royal, including Kirna Zabete, a hip center for luxury brands like Balenciaga and Alexander Wang, as well as Magasin, a destination for au courant menswear from designers like Dries Van Noten.

The Royal Poinciana Plaza also abounds in lifestyle-centric offerings. The Palm Beach Bicycle Trail Shop has moved to the plaza, while Italian scooter maker Vespa delivers more speed. A New York staple, Paul Labrecque

Salon and Spa will open this month, specializing in beauty services for men and women.

Although this is just a sampling of what visitors can expect at the new Royal Poinciana Plaza, David believes it’s a step forward in turning the plaza into a community gathering place. In the future, she hopes to host diversions to further activate the plaza, like yoga and classical music performances.

“We really want to bring fun, joy, and energy, a place people just love to spend time at,” she says. “We [will] continue to closely follow the pulse of the community and make sure we understand what people want and respond to it. But at the end of the day, if we’re making people smile, we will count ourselves successful.”

Visitors t0 The Royal Poinciana Plaza can check many things off their shopping lists, including artisan home goods at St. Frank (upper left) and swimsuits and water-ready accessories at Beach

by Everything But Water (above).

End the day with a martini (left) at The Honor Bar. Kirna Zabete sells a curated selection of jewelry, including colorful earrings from Of Rare Origin (above) and fun Fendi sandals (below), while Paul Labrecque offers his signature products, like the Daily Collection (left) with grooming essentials for all hair types.

A NEW YEAR MEANS NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR AMAZING ADVENTURES AROUND THE GLOBE. THESE LUXE EXPERIENCES TOP OUR 2018 BUCKET LIST:

1. Have Breakfast at Tiffany’s. In November, jeweler Tiffany & Co. finally introduced a restaurant to fulfill every fashion and film lover’s dream. Located on the fourth floor of Tiffany’s Fifth Avenue store in Manhattan, The Blue Box Café serves classic American fare in a space decked out in the brand’s signature blue. (tiffany.com) 2. Get Frozen at IceHotel. A far cry from the Florida heat, IceHotel is nestled in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden, a small village about 125 miles north of the Arctic Circle. In addition to traditional “warm” rooms, it also houses “cold” rooms with furniture and a bed made of ice. Guests in these chilly confines awake to a hot cup of lingonberry juice on their nightstand. (icehotel.com) 3. Visit the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech. This new museum opened late last year in a visually tantalizing building near Yves Saint Laurent’s Jardin Majorelle.

Its collection boasts the best of the late designer’s creations, with a secondary location in Paris further illustrating the duality of his work. (museeyslmarrakech.com)

4. Dive Underwater to See the Titanic.

This year, OceanGate Expeditions will begin hosting missions to survey the wreck of the RMS Titanic, which sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in April 1912. Participants will depart from St. John’s, Newfoundland, before spending eight days at sea diving to the Titanic in a manned submersible. The expedition costs more than $105,000 per person, and while spaces are limited for 2018, OceanGate is accepting applications for 2019. (titanicsurveyexpedition.com)

Early this year, the Boca Raton Museum of Art is scheduled to unveil exterior renovations that will change how guests interact within its outdoor spaces. As part of the $1.5-million project, the museum is imbuing utilitarian areas with an artistic edge, to include replacing its current loading dock gate with a series of 12-foot-tall panels of metal, mirror, and acrylic. Along Federal Highway, passersby will notice a new canopy of jade vine and queen’s wreath. And, in addition to new lighting and signage, the museum will also introduce Promenade, a 27,000-square-foot extension to the existing sculpture garden that will house larger exhibitions and allow for even more pedestrian experiences and public art offerings.

LOVE IS... AN ICON

What’s in a name? At Saint Laurent, the YSL monogram is synonymous with sensuality and subversion, a point creative director Anthony Vaccarello reflects by imparting subtlety on logomania. Pieces from the Spring 2018 collection, like the suede Kate monogram satchel bag with turquoise, coral, and marble stones ($2,950), the linen and leather College bag ($2,450), and the Opyum 110 sandals ($995), demonstrate his nuance.

Gratitude. A powerful element in fighting cancer.

Dave Norris was a healthy 65-year-old, until one day he had trouble swallowing. His doctor discovered a malignant tumor in his stomach and Dave sought treatment at a large cancer center in another city. There, they saw him as patient number 1125157, not Dave Norris. Every other week, Dave flew across the country for treatment until he discovered a Florida Cancer Specialists clinic only minutes from his home. Here, Dave was given a successful knockout round of treatment, all while being treated like Dave Norris, not just another number. The care and compassion Dave received inspired him so much that he has dedicated the next chapter of his life to helping other Florida Cancer Specialists patients. “I am thankful for the doctors and nurses at Florida Cancer Specialists who cared for me as a person and a neighbor, not just a patient and a number.�

in operation since 1993, Churchill Wild has intentionally maintained a low profile, reserving its exclusive permits to track Arctic wildlife on foot for true trailblazers. Coming face-to-face with one of the planet’s fiercest, most glorious apex predators without manmade borders is nothing short of life changing, even for those who’ve traversed the likes of Rwanda’s Virunga mountains for up-close interactions with almighty gorilla troops.

Churchill Wild’s trio of lodges is located in prime polar bear real estate and each is a short Cessna flight north of Churchill (population: 899), in close proximity to the natural land-water border between Manitoba and Nunavut. Immersed in nature, these properties serve as windows to the Arctic.

Of Earth’s 19 sub-populations, the thousand-strong permanent polar bears of West Hudson Bay, north of Churchill, Canada, are quite possibly the healthiest and most photogenic. This is where National Geographic, BBC’s Planet Earth, and the Discovery channel come to capture footage of bears wrestling in the fireweed-speckled surrounds and crossing frozen riverbanks with cubs in tow.

elting ice caps, starving wildlife, and overall environmental devastation dominate modern headlines about the Arctic. But while this apocalyptic outlook applies to numerous swathes of Earth’s northern latitudes, life still flourishes along the Arctic Circle in the upper reaches of Canada’s Manitoba province.

Welcome to West Hudson Bay coast, a magical place that reigns as one of the planet’s final intact frontiers, a land where plump polar bears rule, countless caribou roam, charismatic beluga whales sing, and the aurora borealis illuminates the night sky. Through 10 Arctic adventures, ranging from seven to 11 days in length, outfitter Churchill Wild exposes travelers to uninhabited expanses of Manitoba’s rocky terrain, where experiential nature excursions rival the best African safaris. And with three fly-in lodges, Seal River Heritage Lodge, Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge, and Dymond Lake Eco-Lodge, there are endless possibilities for extreme wildlife encounters, namely with the

To begin this Arctic experience, travelers will first need to reach Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba, Canada, which is serviced by most American and Canadian commercial carriers.

Surf Club Redux

The legendary social club has found new life as a quietly glamorous Four Seasons resort By Daphne Nikolopoulos In the 1930s, when The Surf Club was in its heyday, a wide cross section of the rich and famous ranging from industrialists to entertainment royalty converged in tiny Surfside to soak in the sunshine and glittering company that included names such as Churchill, Hope, Sinatra, and Coward.

The blink-and-you-miss-it town just north of Miami was the perfect place to fly under the radar while engaging in a bit of debauchery. Prohibition? What Prohibition?

Though that altar to pleasure is no more, its glamorous legacy lives on in its reincarnation as the Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club. The hotel and its adjacent residences, realized by Pritzker Prize– winning architect Richard Meier and

Parisian interior designer Joseph Dirand, wrap around the original club, a Mizner-inspired masterpiece by architect Russell Pancoast. A cool mix of modernity and history, the new Four Seasons lures travelers with nine oceanfront acres, 72 airy tower rooms that open up to sea and sky, day and

The hallowed halls of the original Surf Club (left, below, and opposite top) echo the pleasure-seeking spirit of a bygone era. Today’s indulgences at the Four Seasons include a hammam (above), divine food and drink, and modern, bright spaces.

overnight cabanas, a glorious iteration of Amalfi Coast landmark Le Sirenuse, and a holistic spa with global offerings, including a hammam.

The cabana culture is, perhaps, the biggest draw. Back in the day, “Cabana Row” was where it all happened: aristocrats sipping Mangarevas poolside, Winston Churchill painting seascapes, Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack cronies sashaying across the deck. The cabanas were once supremely ornate, recalling Moroccan palaces and French castles. Today’s version is light and bright, with rattan furnishings and white-on-white palettes accented by palm frond green.

The day cabanas are sublime, but for the ultimate Surf Club experience, book one of five overnight cabanas and live like the legends of a faded era.

For wellness enthusiasts, Cabana Row also houses two spa cabanas. Melting into a massage while the surf crashes a few steps away is one way to find bliss.

The other is in the spa itself, a marble sanctuary for the senses. Global-themed treatments like Abhyanga and Shirodhara, both Ayurvedic modalities, promote a sense of peace and balance, while the Turkish-style hammam is a sensuous indulgence unlike any other.

For the Tropical Hammam Experience, you spend 90 minutes in a private steam room being exfoliated, milk-bathed, massaged, and luxuriously hydrated. Expect to sweat—and feel like a million dollars after.

brings a touch of Positano to South Florida. Ensconced within the marvelous architecture of the Surf Club clubhouse, with its vaulted and stenciled ceilings, the restaurant offers classics from the mother ship and fare reimagined for the Miami milieu. The Fagotello Genovese, pasta purses stuffed with beef ragu and topped with mozzarella reduction and black truffle, is a dream, but save room for the frozen “lake” of pistachio gelato finished with crushed pistachios and edible flowers. It’s impossible to resist.

Later this year, Thomas Keller of French Laundry fame will open a restaurant at Mangareva the property. The cuisine will be inspired by Beef tartare with the original social club— egg yolk confit the celebratory spirit, glamour, and energy of a singular, unforgettable For the Mangareva cocktail moment in time.

Be sure to focus on the snaking ribbon of blacktop stretching out in the distance.

The only thing fueling the tidal wave of adrenaline coursing through my veins is the chariot I’m piloting, the new $158,000 Acura NSX supercar.

After a day and a half and 500-plus miles behind the wheel of the NSX, I am already deeply in love with this mid-engine marvel. Assembled at Acura’s plant in Marysville, Ohio, it’s nothing less than a technological tour de force.

THE

ONLY CHOICE FOR LUXURY PALM BEACH

LIVING.

Several years have passed since Singer Island saw any new luxury residential development, so the opening of VistaBlue Singer Island this season marks a pivotal moment – and luxury property buyers are taking note. In addition to being the first luxury condominium to grace the island in nearly a decade, it’s the only oceanfront luxury high-rise opening in early 2018 in all of Palm Beach County.

Excellent timing aside, there are many elements that place VistaBlue Singer Island in a class all its own. Located on one of the most pristine stretches of beach in all of Florida, the 19-story tower has just 58 luxuriously appointed residences, offering exclusivity and privacy unattainable almost anywhere else.

Then there is the breathtaking contemporary design by architect GliddenSpina and award-winning firm Interiors by Steven G. Every detail at VistaBlue – from the imported Italian porcelain tile floors to the level five finishes – illustrates developer Third Palm Capital’s commitment to high design and quality craftsmanship.

“Singer Island is a very laid-back place where people go for a bit of peace and quiet and to get in touch with the sand and the water. So we deliberately chose elements that are timeless, organic and relaxed. That said, people here also have extravagant tastes, so the design always needs to be Five Star.”

- Steven G.

ACTUAL PHOTO O F UNIT 5B

Spacious residences at VistaBlue feature high ceilings, open modern floor plans, floor-to-ceiling windows, imported porcelain tile flooring, designer kitchens with Poggenpohl® custom cabinetry and Miele® appliances, and oversized wrap-around terraces offering sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway. Five-star amenities include an elevated pool terrace and sundeck overlooking the Atlantic, a club room and social lounge with two bars, and state-of-the-art fitness center with his and hers saunas.

Striking a balance between opulence and comfort was key, according to interior designer Steven G., whose firm designed the residences as well as the social spaces.

Light is integral to the design. In the residences, this is achieved through dropped ceilings with recessed, LED lighting that can be dimmed for ambiance. Elsewhere, architectural lighting is used for dramatic effect – for example, to light up the 800-bottle, floor-toceiling wine wall in the property’s Club Room.

Ultimately, the developer set out to create a property that would set a new standard for design, quality and luxury on Singer Island.

“There’s no question in my mind that this will be the most beautiful residential property on all of Singer Island,” said Randall Tuller, Executive Manager, Third Palm Capital.

VistaBlue Singer Island will be delivered, move-in ready, in early 2018. Prices start at $1.5 million and go up to nearly $8 million for penthouse residences. For more information, visit www. vistabluesingerisland.com.

The show-stopping lobby, for example, features silk fabrics from Italy, custom millwork, and a dramatic, back-lit, floor-to-ceiling wall of marble. In the social lounge, by contrast, an ambiance of relaxed sophistication is achieved with classic furniture in earth-tone colors, with aquatic jewel-tone blue accents.

VistaBlue Singer Island is on schedule to be delivered, move-in ready, in early 2018.

PALM BEACH’S HILARY GEARY ROSS TAKES ON WASHINGTON

BY MICHELE MEYER PHOTOGRAPHY BY HARRY BENSON Though well past her bedtime, Hilary Somers Roche headed down the stairs of her aunt Jeanne Vanderbilt’s Upper East Side Manhattan townhome. Vanderbilt wanted to introduce her to a few guests.

Among the group, the grade school–aged girl spotted actors Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Montgomery Clift, and Roddy McDowall.

“It was amazing to see all those legends,” recalls the since-married Hilary Geary Ross. “Liz was so beautiful. Richard Burton was so handsome. I was dazzled.”

She was also hooked—on hosting. Her mother, social scribe Patricia Murray Ney, and another aunt, former Vogue fashion editor Catherine “Cathy” Murray di Montezemolo, were also fabled for their fêtes.

“I had great examples of how to do it right,” Ross says.

“

If you’re looking for optimism for our future and our country, spend time with Hilary.” —Robert Zimmerman

Long renowned for her own gatherings in Palm Beach, Southampton, and Manhattan, Ross has brought her skills to a new locale: the nation’s capital.

Almost a year since husband and prosperous private equity investor Wilbur Louis Ross Jr. became U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Ross’ bashes are the buzz of D.C., rivaling those of Sally Quinn (wife of then Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee) and Georgette Mosbacher (then wife of Robert A. Mosbacher Sr., George H. W. Bush’s commerce secretary).

“She’ll be one of D.C.’s greatest hostesses,” says New York’s Jay McInerney, author of Bright Lights, Big City. “She and Wilbur know everyone, and she has the most interesting guests.”

But it’s more than her connections that make this philanthropist and art collector a hostess par excellence.

“When Hilary throws a reception or dinner, that’s where you want to be,” says Robert Zimmerman, a Democratic National Committee member and marketing and advertising firm founder who’s known the Rosses for more than a decade.

“I was struck by the energy in the room and the frank exchange of ideas between Democrats and Republicans,” he says of a recent D.C. party—and potential power-keg—that included Trump staffers Steven Mnuchin and Kellyanne Conway, former Trump Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, former Reagan Chief of Staff Ken Duberstein, and senators Bill Nelson and Amy Klobuchar.

“She’s an inspiring and uniting force, with a great gift of encouraging and elevating discussion,” Zimmerman says. “And her embracing warmth permeates everything she does.”

Indeed, Ross’ party prowess extends beyond setting a beautiful table and knowing what canapés to serve.

“I love the whole process—choosing the tablecloths, china, and menu, creating the seating charts—every bit of it,” she says. “It’s great fun and a great way to cement friendships and make new ones as you celebrate occasions in your guests’ lives. If you’re a matchmaker, that’s even better.”

The Rosses themselves benefited in 2002 when Amanda HaynesDale, a hedge fund investor and bridesmaid at Hilary’s first nuptials in 1973, sat them side by side at an event.

Ross also believes in the art of the seating chart. She uses pink Postits for women and blue for men, placing someone the guest knows on one side and someone new on the other. As she learned from aunt Cathy, a mix of power players, jet-setters, and fashionistas of all ages and nationalities gives a get-together pizzazz. Her list of dream guests ranges from Oscar Wilde to Thomas Jefferson, but they all have one

86

thing in common: humor, intelligence, and lots of personality.

Regardless of the attendees, Ross’ events often start with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on each home’s expansive terrace, with views of the Intracoastal Waterway at their Palm Beach estate, the skyline at their Manhattan penthouse, or the pool and formal gardens at their summer home in Southampton.

But wherever she is, “Palm Beach is home,” Ross says. “I’ve been [coming here] since I was a tiny tot and always remembered the soft, balmy air and sparkling water. Palm Beach is easy to love. It’s the most beautiful place in the world.”

Ross also takes care to set the stage with ample flowers and vignettes—all the better to get photo ops in society columns and on Instagram, notes florist and frequent collaborator Tom Mathieu.

“She’s very creative and easygoing,” Mathieu says. “She’ll give me the main details, color scheme, and number of attendees. Sometimes I tell her what I’m going to do and sometimes I surprise her.”

Another Ross signature is tongue-in-cheek party favors, such as funny glasses or “something amusing to unwrap,” Ross says. Her personal favorite was for a dinner dance celebrating Wilbur’s birthday. “I placed masks with Wilbur’s face on sticks at each place setting and requested guests wear them. That was quite a visual. Imagine, 350 Wilburs!”

Grander gestures include transforming their Palm Beach ballroom into Club R, where an aerialist poured Champagne into guests’ glasses while swinging upside down from a trapeze.

Another time, she and Mathieu recreated legendary ’70s New York nightclub El Morocco, aglitter with mirrors, massive zebra banquettes, and white palm trees.

When possible, Ross has New York songster and TV host Christopher Mason play piano and perform numbers that name-drop invitees.

His versions of tunes such as Noel Coward’s “The Stately Homes of England” have substituted lyrics with the names of Andrea and Steve Wynn, Emilia and Pepe Fanjul, Rudy and Judith Giuliani, and the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough.

For the Rosses’ first D.C. cocktail party at their new 1927 Beaux-Arts manse, Mason penned an amusing song about how many of the guests wrongly presumed that the guest of honor, Scott Snyder, was the North Korean missiles expert, comedian, or governor by the same name.

In actuality, Snyder is the Rosses’ interior decorator, who made the $12 million D.C. party palace purchased from philanthropist Adrienne Arsht move-in ready in less than four months.

A book launch for Larry Kudlow’s JFK and the Reagan Revolution: A Secret History of American Prosperity was another early capital

“

We are both mad about art, and each time we take a trip we scout for more artworks.” soirée. When bad weather grounded Kudlow’s flight to Washington, “We all toasted Larry and said how much we missed him, but went on with the show,” she says.

That hasn’t been her sole mishap. Ross’ penchant for a decadent dessert following a healthy menu led to an awkward moment at one of her first fêtes.

The on-site caterer was asked to make chocolate soufflé. When it was served, “a guest exclaimed: ‘Don’t eat the soufflé! It’s salt, not sugar,’” Ross recounts.

The caterer had mistaken a container of sea salt for sugar. “We all laughed, and then I served Häagen-Dazs chocolate chip mint ice cream and homemade cookies.”

Her advice? “Have cookies and ice cream on hand.

They’re staples, like milk and eggs. But most importantly, have a sense of humor when things go wrong.”

That trait is among many that make Hilary, 67, and Wilbur, 80, well-matched. Soft-spoken and stylish, the kindred spirits share sunny dispositions and a love of entertaining, writing, surrealist painter René Magritte, and decorator Mario Buatta, who’s worked for them since their 2004 nuptials as well as separately since the 1970s.

Theirs was the third marriage for each. Her first husband, stockbroker John W. Geary II, died in 1995.

A social columnist and author of Palm Beach People and New York, New York, Ross comes from a long line of writers, including mother Patricia Murray Ney, father J. Jeffrey Roche, and grandfather Arthur Somers Roche. For her next tome, she’s spoken with photographer Harry Benson about a collaboration on Washington power players and philanthropists.

Wilbur, the son of a New Jersey school teacher and a judge, attended Yale with the hope of becoming a fiction writer, but a summer internship on Wall Street steered him toward finance. After earning his M.B.A. at Harvard, he became an investor specializing in bankruptcy.

Their mutual passion for Magritte—a favorite of hers since childhood—has led to an invaluable collection of his work.

“We are both mad for art, and each time we take a trip we scout for more artworks,” she says. “Hence the Chinese contemporary collection, as we’re in the Far East so much.” They often lend Magritte paintings to museums,

88

“which gives us a good excuse to travel, to the (Georges) Pompidou in Paris and the Albertina in Vienna.”

Acquiring art for their homes isn’t Ross’ sole style quest.

She’s also emboldened her husband’s already elegant wardrobe, most notably with Stubbs & Wootton black velvet slippers embroidered with the logo of the Secretary of Commerce.

This penchant for sartorial ease extends to Ross’ own wardrobe, which consists of cashmere suits and sequin sheaths by Oscar de la Renta and Michael Kors, who made the gold suit she wore at their wedding. She hews to white, cream, silver, gold, and blues, accessorized with statement jewelry by Bulgari and JAR. “I try to have a touch of whimsy, such as fun shoes or an interesting belt, bag, or jewelry—something unexpected.”

The same desire for elegance coupled with comfort drives the settings for their homes. The Rosses invest in great houses and revel in the restoration process. Their Palm Beach estate is a 1939 Georgian Revival manor built by architect John L. Volk, while their Southampton summer house is an early 1900s Colonial Revival. Their penthouse in Manhattan is located in a well-known Art Deco co-op.

A champion of architecture and history since attending the private girls-only Hewitt School on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Ross has served on the board of the Palm Beach Preservation Foundation since 2005 and as president of the American Friends of Blenheim Palace (the birthplace of Winston Churchill) since 2007. She and Wilbur also support the Central Park Conservancy, the National Gallery of Art in D.C., and the Magritte Museum in Belgium.

“If Hilary is involved, she makes it a cause, and you instinctively want to be on her team,” says Robert Zimmerman, who’s participated in fundraisers she’s hosted.

“She engages, energizes, and encourages people.”

Ross’ true legacy extends beyond her philanthropy: It’s the positive openness she shares with her husband and, now, all of Washington. Zimmerman believes she’s just the person to bring some joy to the capital. “If you’re looking for optimism for our future and our country, spend time with Hilary.” «

followed Farrington’s career and believes he’s an excellent role model for the sport.

“Kent represents a new generation of equestrian athlete,” says Bellissimo. “He has a disciplined personal fitness regimen combined with a strong organization that has [helped him in] identifying and developing a young horse pipeline that will keep him at the top of the sport for many years to come. He accepts the highs and lows of the sport with class and dignity.”

In addition to his Olympic silver medal, Farrington has accumulated numerous accolades.

Among his best performances are wins at the East Coast World Cup League, Pan American Games, King George Cup, American Invitational, Presidents Cup, and Hampton Classic. He helped Team U.S.A. score a victory at the 2014 inaugural Rolex Central Park Horse Show, then became a Rolex Testimonee. The following year, he won the Rolex IJRC Top Ten Final at CHI Geneva, a show that also hosts the

On a sunny day in Wellington, Kent Farrington is proudly showing off his stable, a hub of activity on the well-manicured 13-acre estate he calls home. It is a morning of the Winter Equestrian Festival, highlighted by the Rolex Grand Prix, one of the most prestigious annual competitions on the global equestrian championship circuit. Farrington, who is ranked No. 1 in international show jumping, is happy to spend the hours before he competes chatting about his beloved horses.

“I’ve had horses others didn’t want because they were difficult,” says Farrington, who won his first Olympic medal at the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro when he helped Team U.S.A. secure show jumping silver. Of his stable’s many residents, some are his top performers, while others are students. “I have a starting lineup and new horses ready to learn. I take my horses to the venues that suit them best.”

Nattily dressed in black jodhpurs, dark boots, and a white shirt highlighted with a Rolex logo to symbolize his role as one of the brand’s Equestrian Testimonees, Farrington, 37, treats his horses like members of his family.

“When I need to retire them, I visit to make sure each has a good life,” he says.

His custom barn is an immaculate showcase for his organized tack—the bridles, bits, saddles, and other gear needed to make rider and horse shine as a singular unit during intense international competition. The dedicated horseman, who is celery thin and physically fit due to a strict fitness and nutrition routine, is proud to display his collections, especially the silver bridles that are worthy of a museum.

“I try to adapt the horse to the best equipment,” says Farrington, who competes on both sand and grass. “This is what makes our sport unique. We have to adjust to different horses and venues and make them comfortable. I have horses training in different places so they don’t get bored.”

Mark Bellissimo, whose company owns the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center in Wellington and other equestrian venues, has

Pictured here in his Wellington home, Farrington, who turned 37 in late December, began riding at age 8 and went professional when he was 18.

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Rolex Grand Prix, one of the three majors that form the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping.

In July, for the second year in a row (and third career win), Farrington and his prize horse, Gazelle, jumped to victory at the ATCO Queen Elizabeth Cup II, a tremendous achievement that didn’t go unnoticed by other professionals.

“I have known Kent for 10 years, and it has been impressive to see what he has done considering he started from absolutely nothing, comes from a non-horse family, and has built his own way to the top,” says Brazilian Rodrigo Pessoa, one of the world’s most gifted horsemen and another Rolex Equestrian Testimonee. “He is extremely dedicated, a hard worker, and a perfectionist. He has a great business in America and is a brilliant teacher as well as a tremendous and fierce competitor. Now, his hard work is paying off.”

Farrington takes his sport very seriously, like a cardiac surgeon ready to open a heart.

As with many professional athletes, he began pursuing this life at a young age. When he was 8, he found a photograph of his mother riding a horse that fascinated him for hours.

“When I saw mom sitting on a horse, I got intrigued and asked her if I could learn to ride,” Farrington recalls.

His first lessons were at a carriage barn in downtown Chicago, where he grew up. He rode once a week for a year, learning everything he could during those precious hours.

He quickly progressed from riding carriage horses to racing ponies and retraining former racehorses on the weekends.

“I was brave, eager, and aggressive, and learned that I could race,” he says. “While doing pony racing, I also practiced martial arts, skateboarding, and other sports—except for team sports. I [had] a passion for horse racing and began doing it four or five times a week while attending school in the city.”

“

ROLEX/ASHLEY NEUHOF

You want to win every time, but you lose more than you win in this sport. I am lucky. I dream, and I work hard. I want to win, and I don’t play safe.”

He was so smitten with the sport—he first aspired to be a jockey—that he asked his mother if he could ride on Christmas Day. He soon met a steeplechase jockey who convinced him to keep his weight down if he wanted to see any kind of success.

By age 11, Farrington was doing local events and county fairs before graduating to competition in higher-level shows. He moved up the ranks with better trainers who took him under their wings, and spent most of his junior career catch riding for professionals. He became quite accomplished in his own right during this time, winning the Washington International Equitation Medal and the Eiser/Pessoa National Equitation Medal Finals.

In 1999, he won gold at the North American Young Riders International Competition and turned pro, a seamless transition for the focused young man. Within three years, he

accumulated more than $1 million in prize money and earned the prestigious Maxine Beard Award, which honors an American rider who displays the necessary talent to represent the U.S. in international competition.

Then, in 2004, he won his first major Grand Prix at Saugerties with horse Madison.

Farrington credits early experience with such elite riders as British Olympian Tim Grubb and U.S. Olympian Leslie Howard with helping him get to where he is today. Hard work, of course, didn’t hurt either.

“My strength is that I have great relationships with everyone, and I keep in contact with them,” he says. “You want to win every time, but you lose more than you win in this sport. I am lucky. I dream, and I work hard.

I want to win, and I don’t play safe. I watch videos to improve, [and] I haven’t had huge obstacles.”

Guilherme Jorge, a respected Brazilian course designer living in Wellington, has nothing but praise for Farrington. “Kent is a precise rider,” he says. “He is good at preparing his horses and smart on entering them in the right competitions. He is one of the fastest riders in the world.”

All of this success and adoration begs the question: Just what does Farrington do on a daily basis to produce such stellar results? He rises at 7:30 a.m., eats oatmeal and

scrambled eggs, then walks to his stables and decides which horses to ride. He exercises a couple of them for an hour or two, a practice he calls “training his students for competition.” After lunch, he rides again at 2 p.m. before working out in his home gym; this typically includes balancing exercises but no weight lifting, in order to remain light on the horse. After a shower and a change of clothes, he heads to the competition.

His overall diet is quite strict, and not for everyone. He eschews refined sugar, processed food, and nightshades (tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes, to name a few), choosing instead to follow a meal plan similar to that of one of his favorite football players.

“I admire Tom Brady and how long he has been on top in his career, and I want to do the same,” says Farrington of his choices.

His fondness for jumping and its lifestyle extends beyond his love of the sport and his lofty personal goals. He would like to see jumping become more accessible, more about talent than money.

“We are compared to motor racing because it is a financial commitment to start and play,” he says.

While he is rather preoccupied by his drive to be the best and provide others with the same opportunities he had, Farrington still finds time to date Canadian jumper Tiffany Foster. Together, this equestrian power couple shares a passion for the sport—and for winning.

“I love my life and am very happy,” Farrington says. “Everything I do seems like a vacation.” « PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | JANUARY 2018

PORSCHE DESIGN CHRONOGRAPH 911 TURBO S EXCLUSIVE SERIES

Porsche buyers looking for the ultimate roadgoing 911 tend to set their sights on the truly awesome Turbo S, a 580-horsepower, twinturbo, wide-bodied rocket ship. To satisfy the desires of those in the market for something even more superior, Porsche has created the new 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series. Just 500 are being offered, with power upped to 607 hp, a head-rotating metallic yellow paint scheme, and new black and gold wheels. Subtle it is not. But even priced from an eye-watering $257,500, it won’t be long before all 500 are scooped up. For anyone spending that kind of loot, handing over another $12,650 for a matching timepiece is a no-brainer. And what a watch. Created by Porsche Design, it marks the carmaker’s first foray into in-house movement. The case is perfectly sized at 42 mm and is made of carbide-coated titanium with a carbon fiber dial. Taking cues from the car, the watch features a golden stripe with yellow tachymeter scales around the edge. The really cool part of the design, however, is on the back, where the winding rotor looks just like one of the 911’s forged alloy wheels, complete with a Porsche shield badge in the center.

HUBLOT TECHFRAME FERRARI TOURBILLON

While you’re breathlessly awaiting delivery of your brand new $211,000 Ferrari Portofino next summer (a more hardcore replacement for the California T), satisfy your Prancing Horse cravings with a fancy Ferrari watch. Hublot, Ferrari’s official horological partner, has released the Techframe Ferrari Tourbillon Chronograph, which feels about as close as you can get to wearing a new Portofino on your wrist. The timepiece was timed to the seventieth anniversary of the first Ferrari-badged sports car, the 1947 125 Sport. But in lieu of an existing Hublot model with a Ferrari 70 logo pasted to the face, the Techframe is an all-new watch with a spectacular design. Ferrari’s styling department in Maranello, Italy, came up with the tough-yet-lightweight lattice structure around the mechanism, along with the Ferrari Red stopwatch pusher on the side. The watch oozes Formula 1 technology and, at 45 mm wide, is nicely sized. Three versions are on offer: Titanium ($127,000), PEEK Carbon ($137,000), and King Gold ($158,000), with 70 of each available.

Car-themed watches don’t come better than this. (hublot.com)

3 BREITLING FOR BENTLEY GT DARK SAPPHIRE You’ve pored over the photos of the new Bentley Continental GT, drooled over its sensuous curves, palpitated at the thought of taming its uprated 626-horsepower W-12, tremored at the anticipation of running your fingers over all that buttery-smooth quilted leather. Sadly, you’ll just have to wait. While European Bentley-istas can take delivery early this year, stateside buyers must exercise patience until the fall. Not fair. But there’s one way to partly satisfy your lust for the 2019 Conti: Buy the watch.

Breitling, Bentley’s official watch partner, is offering a new Breitling for Bentley GT Dark Sapphire Edition chronograph in honor of the upcoming Continental GT. As wrist candy goes, it’s divine. One of its horological highlights is a huge 48-mm case, made from Breitling Breitlight, a carbon fiber–reinforced polymer composite. It’s said to be extremely light, nonmagnetic, and resistant to scratches. The color is a delicious midnight blue, complemented by a diamond-pattern dial and rubber strap.

Breitling’s familiar B06 movement powers the watch, delivering 70 hours of power reserve plus an innovative 30-second chronograph function that cuts the main second hand’s travel time in half, allowing it to make a full rotation in half a minute.

No, I don’t know why you need it either. Just 500 pieces will be made, with pricing to come. (breitlingforbentley.com)

BULGARI OCTO MASERATI GRANSPORT

Maserati and Bulgari. These two great Italian brands go together like pasta and porcinis. When taking delivery of your new Maserati GranSport convertible, you might want to mark the occasion by purchasing a new Bulgari Octo GranSport timepiece. Unveiled last fall, the GranSport has a decidedly funky operation, characterized by a single hand and an hour display placed in the small window where the date is typically shown. Oh, and the numbers on the face only show zero to six, echoing the rev counter of the Maserati. Think of it as an exercise in form over functionality. The watch features Bulgari’s long-running Octo octagon-in-a-circle design with a 41-mm diameter and its signature “Diamond Like Carbon”–treated steel case. In honor of the GranSport’s automotive link, the trademark Maserati trident rests beneath the hour window. On the back, the clear window features a bigger trident (obstructing the view of the Bulgari movement) and the Maserati, Modena, Italy script.

Rounding out the look is a perforated black leather strap with contrasting blue stitching.

The GranSport is available through Bulgari stores for $12,800. (bulgari.com)

5 OMOLOGATO LAGUNA SECA Mention the word “corkscrew” to any gasoline-blooded auto enthusiast, and it won’t be images of wine that come to mind. More likely, it will be the downhill-plunging Turn 8 at the famed Laguna Seca racetrack near Monterey, California. To celebrate the challenging 2.2-mile roller coaster track with a 185-foot elevation change, the upstart British watchmaker Omologato has created a Laguna Seca timepiece. As with many automotive watches of old, this creation’s face is tilted at a 45-degree angle so drivers don’t have to move their hands off the steering wheel to see the time. The detailing is lovely, with white numbers on a black background, the 12 colored in Laguna Seca blue, and the track logo just above the six. Flip it over to find an engraving of the track’s outline. If there’s one disappointment it’s that, as with all Omologato pieces, the movement is quartz rather than mechanical. The huge positive, however, is that the Laguna Seca watch costs just £299, or slightly less than $440 with shipping from the United Kingdom. (omolgatowatches.com)

BAUME & MERCIER CLIFTON CLUB SHELBY COBRA Back in 1964, when racing legend Carroll Shelby wanted to give his iconic two-seat roadster a higher top speed for longdistance races like 24 Hours of Le Mans, he asked a young ex-General Motors designer named Pete Brock to create an aerodynamic body that could fit the 289 Cobra’s existing chassis. The result was the breathtaking fastback Shelby Cobra Daytona that, straight out of the box, won its class at Le Mans in ’64 and dominated the World Sportscar series in ’65. Swiss watchmaker Baume & Mercier has been celebrating Shelby’s iconic Cobra Daytona since 2015 with a series of limited edition chronographs featuring the racing team’s famous red, white, and blue color scheme. One of the most collectible items in the series is the Clifton Club Shelby Cobra 10344 flyback chronograph, with production limited to 196 pieces (the car reached a top speed of 196 mph on Le Mans’ famous Mulsanne Straight). The face, designed by Brock, is half-blue, half-white, just like the tail of the Daytona Coupe, and is complemented by a 44-mm case featuring pushers modeled after the car’s pedals. Flip the watch over and the exposed back uses a winding rotor that mimics the Cobra’s forged-magnesium wheels.

Priced at $7,950, the watch comes in a gorgeous presentation box with a model of the race car. (baume-et-mercier.com)

BREMONT MKII

Enzo Ferrari once described Jaguar’s E-type as the most beautiful car ever made. Arguably the most ravishing of all E-types was the so-called Lightweight version that dominated sports car racing in the early 1960s. Jaguar planned to build 18 Lightweights but finished just 12. Fast-forward to May 2014 and Jaguar announced it would complete the six “missing” cars, all of which were quickly snapped up by eager enthusiasts who paid a reputed $1.5 million each. To add to the occasion, Jaguar partnered with young British watchmaker Bremont to create six unique chronometers for the owners, each inscribed with their E-type’s serial and engine number. Thankfully, Jaguar and Bremont didn’t let the relationship end after the Continuation watches were delivered.

There’s now a lineup of E-type watches featuring pretty much the same design as the limited editions. Our favorite is the MKII ($6,795) with its 43-mm mirror-polished stainless steel case and perforated calf leather racing strap. The detailing is superb—from the glass back showcasing the rotor modeled after an E-type steering wheel, to the winder engraved with the grooves of a vintage racing tire. (bremont.com)

Take one shabby ’90s vintage Porsche 911, hand over a check for $500,000, and California-based Singer Vehicle Design will transform it into a Porsche 911 like no other. Wealthy buyers the world over wait patiently for Singer to perform its magic and create a customized masterpiece that drives as magnificently as it looks. With so many car lovers being equally enamored with watches, it made sense for Singer to dip a toe into the horological waters and offer a high-end timepiece bearing its name. Enter the Singer Reimagined Track 1. It’s the fruits of a collaboration between watch designer Marco Borraccino, Swiss watchmaker Jean-Marc Wiederrecht, and Singer founder Rob Dickinson—and it’s an absolute stunner. Made of lightweight titanium, it measures 43 mm across and 15 mm thick and features a complex new automatic chronograph movement from Wiederrecht’s Geneva-based operation, Agenhor. The entire center of the watch is the chronograph, with the time hands positioned on the outside ring. It’s this complexity and exclusivity—only 50 of the launch edition pieces are available—that justify the nearly $40,000 sticker price. (singerreimagined.com)

TAG HEUER MONACO GULF SPECIAL EDITION

Ever since the “King of Cool” Steve McQueen first strapped a Heuer Monaco to his wrist in the 1971 movie Le Mans, this square-cased timepiece has been a musthave for collectors. The watch was introduced back in 1969 to celebrate the Monaco Grand Prix and discontinued in the mid-1970s due to—unbelievably enough— lack of interest. With TAG’s (short for Techniques d’Avant Garde) takeover of Heuer, some bright marketing professional decided it might be worth reviving the McQueen connection with a re-edition in 1998. The rest, as they say, is history. The Gulf Special, the latest in a multitude of special Monaco editions, celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the famous Gulf Oil stripes. In Le Mans, McQueen’s character, Michael Delaney, wears a racing suit outfitted with Gulf Oil’s signature blue, white, and orange palette. This latest $5,900 watch—which is only being offered in the U.S.—boasts stripes in the same colors along with a Gulf logo just above the date window. It’s finished with a blue calfskin racing strap with orange stitching. (tagheuer.com)

ZENITH EL PRIMERO RANGE ROVER VELAR

Mark my words: Range Rover’s sleek Velar sport-ute is going to be the hottest new performance SUV of 2018. Priced from around $50,000 (closer to $70,000 nicely loaded) it sits between the quirky-looking Evoque and Land Rover’s top-selling Range Rover Sport. And being loosely based on Jaguar’s F-Pace, it drives like a dream. Land Rover has had a partnership with Swiss watchmaker Zenith since 2016, so it was natural for the two brands to join forces for a timepiece to celebrate the Velar’s debut. And what a cool piece it is. Its 42-mm case is made of stealthy black ceramicised aluminum to complement the Velar’s aluminum body. The face also features coppercolored hands, sub-dials, and tachymeter scales to mirror the copper accents on the car’s front vents and side accents. For one final piece of matchmaking, the Zenith’s zigzag-patterned perforated leather strap picks up on the leather used for the Velar’s seats. Unlike the first Zenith Range Rover collaboration, which was criticized by watch lovers for having “Range Rover” emblazoned on the dial, wearers have to flip the watch over to see any mention of Velar or the maker. The price of this Velar for the wrist? Around $8,700. (zenith-watches.com) «

Gil Walsh let art be her muse for this well-appointed setting with exuberant energy. The jungle-inspired painting gave rise to a rich color scheme and an adventurous selection of textures and patterns for the club chairs, drapes, and custom upholstered ottoman.

Walsh is particularly fond of the cobalt wallcoverings, with their ability to “evoke a wonderful emotional response” and serve as a vibrant backdrop. “I advise my clients to never be afraid of color or the combination of multiple textures, finishes, patterns, or overall design aesthetics to achieve their desired look,” Walsh says. “I truly enjoy bringing energy and warmth into a space, and this room is indicative of that journey.”

Annie Santulli conceived this area to satisfy her client’s hunger for serene dining environs. She had a bright, open canvas to work with, thanks to a soaring ceiling and abundant light from the massive windows. The curvaceous chandelier reads as a contemporary take on a candelabra and forms a dynamic focal point. To fill the wall, Santulli opted for an oversized piece of artwork “that is both arresting and soothing to the eye, an unusual combination,” she says. “If I were to give my voice a label, it wouldn’t be a particular style or aesthetic; it would be textural. The spaces I design contain layers of both visual and tactile textures. This room is no exception.” (561-630-8976, anniesantullidesigns.com)

Lisa Michael was clearly feeling “blue” when designing this great room with its contemporary beach house mood and mod twist.

The ombré drapery, bespoke giclée art, custom chandelier, and geometric, woven ottoman bring personality, but Michael is partial to the one-of-a-kind molding. “I hand-selected the molding pieces and used them in an unintended way,” she says.

“The finished result is a modern take on classic wainscoting that adds volume to the space and sets the backdrop for the interior furnishings.” The white sofas with contrasting lapis-blue welt and a sprinkling of accessories in varying blue-hued tones deliver an eye-catching color exclamation. “I am very inspired by color and the way in which it can impact the feel and energy of a space.”

Forget the man cave—Marc Thee and his design team at Marc-Michaels Interior Design have successfully mastered the allure of the man bath.

Working toward establishing a moody yet smart atmosphere that would imbue a sense of masculinity, Thee incorporated dark-stained paneling to contrast the stone floors.

To generate an element of privacy while maintaining the room’s innate openness, Thee utilized dark bronze metal framing balanced by alabaster and crystal light fixtures. “The house itself is situated off the Intracoastal, and most of the rooms feel very light and open,” he says.

To maintain the airy feeling created by the bedroom’s views of Lake Worth, Foster used the positive and negative forms of the same Quadrille China Seas pattern (a design called Lyford Pagoda, which she describes as “a charming little fantasy of a Chinoiserie”) for the wallpaper and various fabric applications.

THE STATEMENT: SERENE, TIMELESS, AND GLAMOROUS

THE STATEMENT: SEXY, STYLISH, AND CHIC

Angela Reynolds breathed new life into this Tequesta kitchen, reimagining what was a circa-1990s Mediterraneanstyle room into a tailored, modern-day gathering place.

White storage pieces and an understated backsplash supply a classic aesthetic, while decorative wood moldings on the glass-front cabinets provide perceptible intrigue. Reynolds inserted carefully chosen pops of glamour in the form of velvet barstools and a crystal chandelier. By incorporating these elements onto a clean canvas, Reynolds gave the kitchen a “timeless appeal,” leaving the door open for further reinvention. “My favorite thing about this space is the simplicity,” she says. “As the heart of the home, the kitchen tends to be the busiest room in the house. Having a visually clean space is key for keeping the calm.” (561-624-4914, angelareynolds.com)

With a hip, young couple as clients, Krista Watterworth knew she had to up the style in this bar room and push traditional boundaries with on-trend elements, such as gray cabinetry with gold hardware and a modern, metropolitan color palette. Accents like the smoke mirror with a hue that “creates a mysterious sensibility” and artwork that “procures a sense of depth” add to the edgy vibe. “I love to entertain and [to be] surrounded by interesting people,” Watterworth says. “When I’m in this space, I’m ready for a martini and some cool banter. It arouses the senses in its intimacy and stylized look.”

The Makers THESE PALM BEACH COUNTY CREATIVES ARE TURNING THEIR PASSIONS INTO BONA FIDE BUSINESS VENTURES

110 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

THAT EFFERVESCENT TANG

There’s a tasty science to brewing, and Chris Montelius has figured out the formula. In 2014, he secured his license to make the fermented tea kombucha under his company, Non-Prophet Brewing. At the time, he was still at his job of nearly 10 years, overseeing internal brand management for one of South Florida’s largest beverage distribution businesses. In his downtime, he transferred his skills—the principles of managing beverage brands and sales knowledge—into his own endeavor. Three years later, Non-Prophet Brewing produces five flavors of kombucha (passion fruit, dry-hopped, blueberry mint, strawberry basil, and raspberry, lime, and ginger) as well as a ginger beer.

“I still encounter a fair amount of people who have no idea what kombucha is,” Montelius says. “I’m a big boy. I know it doesn’t work everywhere.” Research, however, shows he’s on the right track: Kombucha is on target to hit $1.5 billion in sales by 2020. Montelius attributes this surge in popularity to changing consumer needs. “People are realizing sugar is bad for them and drinking less soda, energy drinks, and Gatorade.”

Kombucha delivers a refreshing fizz that’s low in sugar and filled with natural probiotics that contain bacteria, which some studies suggest aid digestion and boost the immune system. But despite these benefits, there are also some broad misconceptions. “There is a lot of pseudoscience behind kombucha,” says Montelius, recalling how one popular California kombuchery (a portmanteau of kombucha and brewery) turns away visitors because it wants to keep out “bad energy.” Montelius doesn’t adhere to that philosophy.

“I wanted to make something that is good and happens to be good for you, rather than the other way around.”

Whether they’re drinking kombucha for its flavor or its purported health perks, tri-county consumers are nodding in approval. Non-Prophet Brewing moved into its own facility in north Boynton Beach in early 2017, has hired its first full-time employee, and brews 300 gallons per week, on average.

Non-Prophet is on tap and bottles are available for purchase at area bars, breweries, restaurants, coffee shops, and markets. “We aren’t done,” Montelius says. “These are temporary goals that we’ve reached and we’re still growing.”

Montelius brews, bottles, and stores ginger beer and five flavors of kombucha at his brewery in Boynton Beach.

HOUSE OF GREETING CARDS There’s something magical about receiving a card.

These simple notes are somehow wrapped in warmth, comfort, and love. It’s probably why more than 6.5 million greeting cards are sold each year. Renee Griffith agrees, and has turned her love for the medium into a career. “The goal of my line is to make people feel loved, thought about, and cared for,” says Griffith, founder of HeartSwell, a paper goods brand launched in 2016. “I want each of my designs, and the messages people write in my cards, to be meaningful and really touch their hearts. I want them to make their ‘heart swell.’”

A trained graphic designer, Griffith operates HeartSwell from her bright and airy West Palm Beach home studio brimming with greenery, sunshine, and her pups. She has a knack for capturing nature on her greeting cards. She draws the cacti from Phoenix, the tropical plants from South Florida, and the pine trees and mountains in her home state of Pennsylvania—all places she and her husband have lived or visited.

In sync with her creative vision, every paper item is printed on 100-percent recycled materials sourced in the United States.

Griffith is somewhat old school when it comes to designing. “There’s nothing that can beat good old paper, pen, and pencil,” she says. “I feel like I have more control over the lines, but it does require a few extra steps than starting digitally does.”

Once a hand-drawn illustration is done, she scans it to digitize. She has an affinity for letterpress, a centuries-old printing process that forms an impression in the paper. “Letterpress printing my cards gives me the ability to keep my designs very simple and clear, but the tactile quality from the old way of printing makes it feel really special and sets it apart.”

In a short time, HeartSwell has blossomed. It’s now available nationwide, internationally, and online. This success has allowed Griffith to be more selective about custom work, such as designing invitations and lettering projects, in addition to running workshops, doing collaborations, and working with nonprofits.

It’s also leading to a new dream, this time in the interior design industry. “I think feeling safe and cared for, what I strive to do through my design work now, is something that directly translates to the space you live in, as well,” says Griffith.

BLOOM CITY

Burkhalter builds her floral designs in her West Palm studio, but hosts workshops and sells bouquets at many area businesses.

In just a few years, floral studio Flower and Fringe has become a community cult favorite. It’s operated by the recently wed Halle Burkhalter, who fell in love with the trade as a young girl training in her aunt’s flower shop in Pennsylvania. “For whatever reason, she poured into me and I loved it,” says Burkhalter. “[Owning my own shop] was always a dream, but it was just a dream.”

In her late 20s, she said yes to wanderlust and worked as a yacht stewardess. Then, at 30, she accepted a job at a local nonprofit flower shop. “I had a little test of running a flower shop, but I wanted to do this on my own; I wanted my style,” explains Burkhalter, who launched her business in 2014.

Now, she spends her days at the new downtown West Palm Beach studio she moved into last October, building compositions using flowers, greenery, and other species. Music is integral to the process—The Lumineers, chansons Française, and even the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack are a few of her favorites, depending on the project.

Burkhalter’s arrangements are a mix of natural, whimsical, and organic elements. They’re at once wild and controlled, and always very thoughtful. “That’s why I am thankful for this time and for social media,” she says. “My style is very different from other florists in town. Because of Instagram, people know and love my style.”

Instagram has also brought clients, such as the Hilton West Palm Beach, which reached out to her through the platform and forged a long-term partnership for fresh lobby arrangements. In the world of florals, Burkhalter helps commemorate relationships, celebrate occasions, and add pops of life to businesses like Lululemon, The Blind Monk, and Le Bazaar salon. Weddings are one of her key markets; she even worked on her own nuptials this past August, alongside the aunt who inspired it all. Flower and Fringe also offers a bouquet subscription and design workshops at local businesses, although Burkhalter will soon host classes at her own studio, too.

Her work environment is sweet and her vision is simple: Floral creations evoke happy responses. When it comes to a business plan, Burkhalter believes that’s all she needs.

HEALTH HALO Juices made from vegetables, fruits, spices, and herbs aren’t just for cleansing anymore. According to Jules Aron, they’re for cocktails, too. “I am a huge advocate for fresh, wholesome foods that come from the earth,” says Aron, a holistic wellness practitioner and cookbook author, who splits her time between Palm Beach and New York. In her guide to body-friendly drinking, Zen and Tonic: Savory and Fresh Cocktails for the Enlightened Drinker, Aron proves drinking to good health is not only a toast, it’s a way of life. Her zesty cucumber margarita (made with coconut water, cucumbers, lime juice, and rosemary-sage syrup) does sound more appetizing than a rum and coke.

Influenced by her parents—her mom was a French-trained chef and her father was a restaurateur—Aron spent years in the service industry, working late nights behind some of New York City’s best bars until the lifestyle took its toll, resulting in chronic fatigue and a perpetual hormonal imbalance. The much-needed rest led to her rediscovery of holistic healing. She studied

martial arts as a teenager, training throughout her 20s and 30s, and also ventured into other Eastern practices and healing modalities, such as yoga, qigong, and traditional Chinese medicine. During an escape to her cabin in upstate New York, she came up with the concept for Zen and Tonic.

Dubbed “the healthy bartender,” Aron channels the same drive for nutritious and delicious results when consulting on a bar menu, advising a client with dietary restrictions, or working on new cookbooks. This past summer, she released Vegan Cheese: Simple, Delicious Plant-Based Recipes; she’ll launch two more titles in March, this time focusing on inner and outer beauty. “The first volume, called Nourish & Glow, is a plant-forward cookbook to nourish your beauty from the inside, while Fresh & Pure is a collection of homemade skincare recipes to nurture beauty from the outside in,” she says.

For her own part, Aron feels you shouldn’t have to sacrifice flavor and pleasure to be healthy. Instead, she chooses to eat more real food—from the earth instead of a box. «

Aron whipped up a gin cocktail infused with hibiscus, mangosteen, and Concord grapes to pair with her homemade cashew cheese torta.

JEFFREY D. FISHER, ZACHARY R. POTTER, AND BENJAMIN T. HODAS — LAW OFFICES OF FISHER, POTTER, & HODAS Two powerhouse marital law boutiques have now merged, bringing partners Jeff Fisher, Zac Potter, and Ben Hodas into one firm. The merger brings together “hard-nosed legal eagles” who, over the course of the last two decades, were trained by internationally renowned divorce attorney Jeff Fisher.

After working with Fisher, and prior to the merger, Hodas opened his own firm and developed a reputation for his trial skills, representing owners of closely held companies, professional athletes, and wealthy families. Meanwhile, Fisher and Potter developed a unique international practice involving multibillion-dollar divorce and asset-recovery cases. In a recent feature story titled “How to Hide $400 Million,” The New York Times wrote that the Fisher-Potter firm is a “highly creative” private “wealth squad” that is not your “normal” family law practice. The biographies of the members of the “wealth squad” feature alma maters such as Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, as well as experience with the U.S. Department of Justice, which is indicative of the firm’s philosophy that high-stakes cases are won through both “brains and brawn.”

Dr. Hass has become well known for her finesse with eyelid and brow surgeries as well as for her skill with injectables.

SWEET

Alejandra Miranda comes from a long line of bakers: Her great-grandmother had a bakery, her grandmother was a home baker, and her mother creates wedding cakes. But it wasn’t until she went vegan in 2011 and began missing the sweets she grew up with that she gained an interest in the craft. After spending years developing and perfecting recipes to satisfy her cravings, Miranda opened Parlour Vegan Bakery in Plantation in 2015 and in Boca Raton in 2016. “Everything is inspired from my childhood,” Miranda says. “I appreciate throwbacks just as much as gourmet flavors.” A large part of what ignites the nostalgia factor in Parlour’s blueberry toaster pastries, savory pizza rolls, and Dunkaroo, Orange Creamsicle, and Butterbeer cupcakes is that they’re undetectably vegan. Call it a miracle, but even without dairy and eggs, omnivores rave about Miranda’s decadent Napoleon pastelito and fluffy brioche doughnuts. Her secret? “I keep it simple. No tofu. I can make a cupcake with normal ingredients you’d find in the kitchen of any home cook or baker.” (561-617-7144, parlourvegan.com) —Liz Petoniak

She added her own spin, influenced by the country’s melting pot of African, Indian, Chinese, Portuguese, and native ingredients and dishes, and birthed the unique delicacies adventurous gourmands can now find at Bamboo Fire Café. We recommend the crispy tostones, grilled eggplant dip, fragrant dhal, curried anything but especially the meatballs, guava cheesecake, and Jacobs’ addictive Calypso lemonade with a hint of vanilla.

Peruvian:

Victoria’s Peruvian Restaurant Superstar chef Gastón Acurio might have put Peru on the culinary map, but local talent Julio Leon is representing his hometown of Trujillo in the same gourmet observance. Leon worked in his family’s restaurants on Long Island before moving to Florida and opening Victoria’s nearly 10 years ago. The chef-owner’s most popular dishes, like ceviche, arroz con mariscos (a Peruvian take on paella), and jalea mixta (fried seafood with tartar and cream sauce), serve as an education in aji panca and aji amarillo, native peppers that exemplify the bright flavors the country is known for.

COCKTAIL CORNER Papa Doble

A large part of writer Ernest Hemingway’s image revolved around alcohol.

For Papa, quality and quantity were equally essential. During his Havana years, Hemingway frequented the El Floridita bar, where a special daiquiri was named for him. Served in an outsized glass and containing a double shot of rum, it became known as the Papa Doble.

A bronze statue of Hemingway occupies his favorite barstool at El Floridita, but you don’t have to travel to Havana to enjoy a Papa Doble. BrickTop’s currently serves the cocktail at its Palm Beach restaurant and new waterfront location in Palm Beach Gardens. Andrew Martinez, director of food and kitchen, describes the drink as the perfect complement to South Florida’s tropical culture. (561-855-2030, 561-530-4313, bricktops.com) —M.S.

Golden Age It’s not every day wine connoisseurs have the opportunity to store their collections in a high-tech cellar named for a Jack Russell Terrier. Dan Lawrence, a former mortgage broker, powerboat racer, and amateur pilot, opened Loomis Cellars on Antique Row in West Palm Beach in 2016. Loomis is the Spago of wine storage: There’s no name on the door, and visits are by appointment only.

“My goal is to cater to customers who are driven by passion,” says Lawrence, who aims to create a relaxing environment for people who love wine and want to see it properly aged. Cellar space at Loomis begins at $25 per month for 12 cases, and tops out at $800 monthly for a 30,000-bottle collection. The temperature- and humidity-controlled building employs 5 inches of closed-cell foam to insulate its concrete walls, and members

Wondrous Rioja

A handful of elite bodegas capture the essence of Spain’s top wine region

BY MARK SPIVAK

E

ven though Rioja is the most recognized and lauded Spanish wine region, it owes much of its modern identity to outside influences.

Rioja winemakers first traveled to Bordeaux in the 1780s, returning home to introduce the process of oak aging. Several generations later, Luciano Murrieta and the Duke de la Victoria were searching for ways to modernize the area’s wine industry. Murrieta also made a pilgrimage to the Gironde, where he learned the latest in French winemaking and blending techniques.

When phylloxera, a microscopic louse, decimated French vineyards in the 1860s and 1870s, Rioja wine was suddenly in demand. Many Bordeaux makers started wineries in Spain during that period, bringing with them a lifetime of knowledge and experience. Modern Rioja was born. The majority of the blend was Tempranillo, with smaller amounts of Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo aged patiently in oak barrels.

Over time, the reliance on barrel aging got out of hand.

It wasn’t unusual for top bodegas to age their wine for 10 or more years; the 1941 Gran Reserva from Marquès de Murrieta was released in 1983, after 41 years in cask. This led to a style of wine that was dried out and overly tannic.

Marqués de Riscal’s City of Wine facility (right) is an architectural marvel located in Laguardia.

The hierarchy today is far simpler: Crianza is aged for two years, at least one in oak; Reserva gets three years of aging, again with at least one in oak; Gran Reserva spends two years in cask and three years in bottle before release. The following bodegas exemplify the fresher style of Rioja.

MUGA (Haro): The most traditional bodega in Rioja, Muga still fines with egg whites and has its own cooperage facility on site. Offerings range from a very good Reserva ($25) to superpremium wines such as Torre Muga ($90) and Aro ($165).

MARQUÉS DE RISCAL (Laguardia): The City of Wine complex contains a luxury hotel, several restaurants, and the space-age winery building designed by Frank Gehry. The wines are equally exciting, beginning with the Reserva ($20) and Gran Reserva ($50), and culminating in the spectacular Baron de Chirel Reserva, produced only in outstanding vintages (most recently 2010, $80).

MARQUÉS DE MURRIETA (Logroño): Founded in 1852 by Luciano Murrieta, this bodega is where it all started. It is known for making rich, concentrated wines in a traditional style, most notably the Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial (2007, $85).

SEÑORIO DE SAN VICENTE: Located in the tiny village of San Vicente de la Sonsierra and owned by the Eguren family of Sierra

Cantabria, San Vicente was a pioneer label in the super-premium Rioja category. The current vintage (2013, $45) is 100-percent Tempranillo from a single vineyard, aged in small French oak barrels.

FINCA ALLENDE (Briones): Established in 1986, Allende relies on old Tempranillo vines located in Rioja Alta, along with careful selection and French oak aging. The entry-level wine (2009, $25) displays balance, power, and grace. At the top end of the scale, the 2010 Aurus ($165) is a blend of great intensity and charm.

ARTADI (Logroño): Founded in 1985 by an alliance of growers, Artadi today comprises four estates. It is best known for Viña El Pisón (2013, $305), grown on a five-acre plot planted in 1945.

CONTADOR (San Vicente de la Sonsierra): Benjamin Romeo produced his first vintage in 1996, starting in the garage of his parents’ home and eventually building his own bodega. Robert Parker awarded Romeo’s 2004 and 2005 vintages 100 points, and his most recent release is 2012 ($345). «

Bespoke details and unexpected elements abound in this multipurpose library and formal dining room by Adelene Keeler Smith Interior Design. Located in West Palm Beach, the space centers around a custom table, constructed from burl wood by a retired U.S. Naval Academy master carpenter who now resides in Jupiter Farms. Legendary screen actress Audrey Hepburn gazes over the scene, where a crystal chandelier glows inside a parchment drum shade. A single pine stool joins a grouping of vintage Sheraton scroll chairs outfitted in ivory cheetahpatterned velvet cushions.

Working within a limited space, Wong was able to add many environmentally sound elements, while also incorporating vegetation that would provide ample privacy.

LEED A LANDSCAPE MASTER OFFERS INSIGHT INTO GREEN DESIGN

By Liza Grant Smith Fernando Wong is no stranger to landscaping challenges. His residential portfolio and commercial work with posh resorts in Florida, the Bahamas, and Mexico have earned him the title of one of the most influential landscape designers in America by Elle Decor. But, his talent for delivering big impact in a limited space was put to the test when he signed on to landscape a new house on Palm Beach’s North End. Not only was it Art Deco—a unique aesthetic for a new construction—and situated on a small lot, the homeowner also wanted to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. Wong turned green living into an art form, resulting in a landscaping concept that helped the home become LEED Platinum certified, the highest level possible and the first and only private property on Palm Beach to achieve such a distinction.

Wong and his partner, Tim Johnson, recently spoke 154 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

with PBI to share their strategy for the space and how they made being green look easy.

(561-515-0213, fernandowongold.com) PBI: What was the owner’s goal in terms of aesthetics?

FW: One of the goals was to set the house in an environment where the appearance would be a little bit more rugged than manicured, with loose plant material that is more organic in shape.

What issues had to be considered in the quest for LEED certification?

FW: When it came to the landscape portion of becoming LEED certified, one of the considerations was how to harvest all the rainwater. In

this case, there is a cistern system connected to the irrigation.

TJ: It was definitely a challenge because in order to get platinum certification we also had to use native plants and specific types that are drought tolerant.

What key elements did you incorporate into the design?

FW: There was very little space for planting. We strategized [in order] to get the most amount of screening and accomplished that by using a hybridized Clusia guttifera hedge that was tall and also fuller at the base.

The arbor in the backyard barbecue area was a support for a Petrea volubilis (or sandpaper vine) which, with the western exposure, provided foliage. For the front, we tried to extend the lawn spaces as much as possible because that visually relaxes the landscaping, while bordering the beds with a plant called a golden creeper, or Ernodea littoralis, that does not require a lot of trimming and becomes a wonderful cloud of vegetation.

How do you believe landscaping and architecture should interact?

TJ: Our attitude is that landscape should be the supporting player. We always say architecture is the picture and the landscape is the frame; it’s our job to complement that and not overshadow it.

What’s one way homeowners can make their landscaping more environmentally friendly?

FW: Synthetic sod has grown in popularity and the technology has been so amazingly applied to these products that you can cut a lot of water usage [with it]. I started very cautiously bringing synthetic sod into my projects, like in the grass joints in driveways, but eventually my use has grown. «

Turn a stuffy library into a hip haven with these finds for the cool bibliophile

By Liza Grant Smith SHINE ON Designer Sara McCann of McCann Design Group has found that high-gloss libraries can be a smart way of building visual excitement. “The lacquered library has become one of McCann Design Group’s trademarks,” she says. “The original inspiration was the legendary red library Albert Hadley designed for Brooke Astor. We have created them for clients as well as for my husband, Jim. Then, four years ago, I decided to create a lacquered library of my own in McCann Design Group’s favorite shade of apple green.

The floor-to-ceiling, highly saturated color and lacquer finish make even a small room so reflective that it seems magical—like a little jewelry box.” West Palm Beach (561-514-0335, mccanndesigngroup.com)

WAT ER F RON T PROPE RTIE S NA M E D GL OBAL BE ST R E A L E STATE WE B S I T E Exposes Clients’ Properties to Thousands of Buyers Daily

Websites help sell real estate. Over 80% of all buyers go to the Internet first to look for a new home, and Waterfront Properties is there when they do. With twice the dollar value by listing, and double the number of represented buyers of its closest competitor, none do a better job of attracting those buyers than Waterfront Properties’ suite of more than 100 luxury real estate websites.

Best Website-PBI.indd 2

11/28/17 9:49 AM

Waterfront Properties recently received the international Best Website Innovation award from LRE® during the 22nd Annual Fall Conference, held in Toronto, Canada.

LRE® comprises more than 130,000 top producing brokers and agents, representing more than 70 countries and selling over $300 billion annually.

Start strong.

Beginning more than a decade ago when real estate Internet marketing was still in its relative infancy, Rob Thomson built the earliest example of today’s Waterfront websites.

He hired digital specialist David Abernathy to lead the effort. Thomson tasked Abernathy, now Waterfront’s manager, with developing a website that would attract large numbers of buyers searching the Internet for properties in Waterfront’s markets. In this early stage, the team focused primarily on buyers coming from Florida and its feeder markets along the entire East Coast of the United States.

Build it right. They will come.

“We were scratching the surface. But, it was working,” Thomson commented. Waterfront achieved almost overnight success. “Lots of buyers were viewing our listings and we could see they were converting to real estate sales.” Thomson’s next move proved pivotal. “I wanted worldwide exposure for our sellers’ properties.” He got it.

Freedom to succeed.

Waterfront’s websites are a resource for the elite level agents on the company’s team. “The Internet is one part of the marketing machine we’ve built and maintain for our agents’ use,” Thomson said. “Every minute we save agents from having to hunt for buyer leads and new business is one more minute they can devote to marketing their sellers’ properties.”

As the international Best Website Innovation award evidences, international brokers recognize Waterfront’s successful Internet exposure model. Every year the company hosts groups at its offices in Jupiter and Palm Beach. In October, Waterfront hosted New Jersey’s Carolynn Ozar Diakon and her team of senior agents from Resources Real Estate, in its Palm Beach office. Resources Real Estate has offices in in Rumson, Monmouth Beach, Red Bank and Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey.

“It’s always informative spending time with Rob Thomson and his agents,” Ozar Diakon commented. “This was especially true of our visit to Palm Beach. Rob shared with my team some of Waterfront’s great technology and the statistics that showcase its effectiveness. Our agents were very impressed. We will send all our buyer referrals their way.”

Do the work.

The right eyes.

Today, Waterfront is well known for the sheer volume of visitors to its websites. What is less known or appreciated is the company’s success attracting the appropriate visitors to its sites. Thomson commented, “Without giving away any of our methods, where we win for our sellers is by making certain their homes are seen by people who can and want to purchase similar properties.” He pointed out emphatically, “It matters little where the prospective buyer is located.”

Rob Thomson said while he was thrilled to see his team win the award for Best Website, his focus over the years has never been on awards. “It’s more about the rewards of seeing sellers’ properties consistently sell for the right price to the right buyer. It’s rewarding seeing our agents succeed.” He concluded, “What I’ve learned over the years is simply this: Do the work. The rest takes care of itself.”

Today, and every day, Waterfront’s websites attract thousands of new visitors from near and far. “They come from across the Intracoastal and they come from around the world.” Thomson continued, “Exposure is the advantage we bring sellers and buyers.”

WHAT CAN A BUYER TYPICALLY GET OFF ASKING PRICE? It depends on the situation regarding the seller’s motivation, market conditions, etc. There is no rule of thumb. Some sellers price their homes high to leave more room for negotiation, but this can sometimes deter buyers from making an offer as they don’t want to offend with a low bid. Often when sellers price their homes closer to the number they actually want to get, buyers fear losing the home at that price and may actually make a higher offer than they may have made had it been listed higher originally.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO SELL A HOME? It’s situational and often depends on timing, market conditions, competitive homes/supply, and a variety of world and economic factors. It’s not an exact science and contrary to what buyers often think, many homes are on the market longer can still generate high selling prices. The motivation of the seller at the time it is listed and whether they have found a new home all determine what they are willing to sell for. If a home shows 300 days on the market, it’s hard for a buyer to know how many good offers that seller has actually turned down.

IS ZILLOW’S VALUE ACCURATE ON A PRICE-PER-SQUARE-FOOT BASIS? It’s very difficult to use an algorithm or mathematical calculation when valuing real estate as there are so many variables, including location, amenities (upgrades), and merchandising. Zillow doesn’t know what types of properties (water, golf, privacy, more land) command higher dollars in a particular community. Also, if a home is completely renovated and merchandised on trend, it can bring a much higher amount than Zillow thinks it will.

Balance

BY LIZ PETONIAK

STRAPPED IN TRX (Total-body Resistance Exercise) is hitting its stride more than 20 years after U.S. Navy Seal Randy Hetrick fashioned the system of straps and handles using a jujitsu belt and a parachute harness.

The device that leverages gravity to facilitate numerous exercises now hangs in gyms across the country and in the homes of pro athletes and supermodels, who often post their favorite upside-down moves on social media. Despite perceived difficulty, the workouts are suitable for all levels because altering the body’s angle can modify the challenge of a squat, plank, or pull-up. “You isolate the muscle, but activate the whole body,” explains Jenny Little, a level-three certified TRX trainer at Fitness Hub Studios. “It’s all core all the time. And pairing two muscle groups together makes for even greater metabolic burn.” While TRX can be done almost anywhere, individualized instruction ensures proper form and safety. Fitness Hub Studios offers two classes, both limited to six students: TRX Fit focuses on cardio and TRX Strong on muscle endurance. West Palm Beach (561-408-0885, fitnesshubfl.com)

Balance A Tale of Two Athletes

Talia Baynham, competitive Crossfit athlete

7:30 a.m.

I know breakfast is important, but when you have to use your core to motivate all of your movement, you don’t want to be digesting. I have coffee and take a specially formulated thyroid medication, as well as a CLA supplement with guarana.

This combo gets my metabolism going.

I get my kids ready for the day before heading to class at Ballet Palm Beach. (balletpalmbeach.org)

6:30 a.m.

I knock off the morning fog with a cold glass of water and a shower. I stay away from caffeine and have noticed a marked improvement without it.

On weight-lifting days, breakfast is oatmeal, two hard-boiled eggs, and berries. I cut the oatmeal and add in a handful of almonds for cardiobased workout days.

8:30 a.m.

Two fit moms and business owners—one a professional ballerina, the other a competitive Crossfitter—share the routines that allow them to achieve success and live their healthiest lives

I either go to my gym, Crossfit 1401 (crossfit1401.com), or drop our son off at school and go to our office. My husband and I own a drug and rehabilitation facility, Ally Recovery Group, and I incorporate Crossfit into our clients’ treatment two days a week for one hour.

Loveland, dancer Lily Ojea principal h c a e B Ballet Palm

1:00 p.m.

11:15 a.m.

To stay hydrated, I drink a gallon of water each day. For lunch, I have chicken, turkey, or eggs, fruit, and sunflower seeds.

Class ends, and I prepare for rehearsal. I drink plenty of water, and dancing gives me energy. I don’t mean that in a corny way, but any athlete will tell you, the more they do, the more they can do.

3:30 p.m.

Rehearsal ends. The majority of the company stays later, but since having children I have drawn tighter time boundaries. On Fridays, I have the joy of teaching my one ballet class. This makes me a better dancer and keeps me balanced.

2:00 p.m.

Once I pick up my son, I eat a snack (a hard-boiled egg, fruit or a tomato, and some nuts). Our family loves outdoor activities, so my son and I play sports, swim, or take a walk. Before I head to Crossfit 1401 to train, I make myself a drink that consists of BCAA and Zipfizz, which has a lot of vitamin B. I also love Fitaids.

7:00 p.m.

For dinner, I eat steamed or roasted vegetables as well as a salad. I’m a salad specialist. I’ll crave rice occasionally, but I usually don’t need too many carbs. However, I will eat dessert (a gluten-free brownie or chocolate) and have wine every night.

7:30 p.m.

For dinner, I stick to lean meats, vegetables (my favorite is broccoli with lemon), and a little rice. I allow myself two “cheat meals” a week. A few slices of pizza or tacos is exactly what I need after many days of hard workouts.

9:00 p.m.

After our kids are in bed, my husband and I relax, and I catch up on extra tasks and do work for my rental company called Tabletop.

10:30 p.m.

I wash my face with Honest Co. orange vanilla baby soap and slather myself in Cetaphil lotion because I have eczema and very dry skin. I am a night owl and have to be disciplined if I’m going to get enough rest. But, I try to keep a loose timetable to allow for a great conversation with my husband or catching up with friends.

9:00 p.m.

8:30 p.m.

I do “ROMWOD” every night.

Romwod.com provides daily stretching videos that have become essential to my recovery for mind and body.

I love sleep, so I try to get in bed as early as possible. Ensuring your mind and body are well rested is the key to a successful day of work and training.

WHAT IS THE FRACTIONATED CO2 LASER AND WHAT ARE ITS BENEFITS? This relatively new technology has several well-established benefits with shorter and more predictable downtime than other traditional treatments:

1. REDUCTION OF FINE LINES AND COARSE WRINKLES OF THE FACE AND NECK. The CO2 laser uses a scanner that divides the beam into tiny shafts of light. Their heat causes the skin cells to reproduce more rapidly to heal the injury thus stimulating collagen, and eliminating the unwanted signs of aging. It can tighten the skin of the upper and lower eyelid and the skin around the lips and the cheeks, without any skin incisions.

2. HAND REJUVENATION. Removal of uneven pigmentation of the hands has become increasingly popular in the recent years. The CO2 laser scans the hand and removes brown spots, stimulates collagen regeneration for an overall and significant skin improvement.

3. REJUVENATION OF THE ARMS AND DECOLLETE. With the appropriate setting, these areas can be treated to result in a smoother and more youthful skin.

Sometimes it feels like 24 hours in a day just isn’t enough to accomplish everything— even with multiple cups of coffee. But according to Chris Jordan, director of exercise physiology at the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute in Orlando, we can make the most out of those hours by eliminating our preoccupation with time management and focusing instead on energy management.

“Time management simply takes you from being absent to being present,” he says. “But whether or not you’re actually engaged depends upon your ability to be energized.” Here, Jordan shares insight into sustaining energy levels throughout the day to perform at our highest ability. (407-438-9911, jjhpi.com) 1. Move more frequently. “We’ve got to get off our backsides and move at least once an hour for a couple of minutes to motivate the metabolism, increase circulation, and elevate the heart rate. The more often we can move, the more energy we can have.”

2. Think of energy in terms of oscillation. “A pause or break in creative work can allow you to come back and do something brilliant. Switch off the mental activity. Take time for deep breathing or a pseudo meditation. Taking a brief recovery can help you reenergize.”

3. Beware of quick fixes. “There’s no secret here. Shortcuts aren’t going to be effective or healthy in the long term. You’ve got to do the right things—move more, eat better, exercise smarter—to increase the body’s capacity to generate energy.”

Buying and selling in the luxury home market is anything but predictable

By Judy Martel In his 1926 short story The Rich Boy, F. Scott Fitzgerald writes that the very rich “are different from you and me.” Rephrased for today’s audience, the sentiment might read, “The South Florida real estate market is different from the rest of the country.” The reason largely comes down to how the rich spend.

THE WEALTH EFFECT High net worth Florida counties, such as Collier and Palm Beach, are somewhat of an anomaly compared to traditional real estate markets because of what’s called “the wealth effect,” says William Hardin, professor at the Florida International University Hollo School of Real Estate.

188 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

In a nutshell, the wealth effect is a phenomenon in which perceived wealth is higher than income would suggest. Income derived from investment assets, such as real estate and equities, is different than income earned through a job. Returns on these investments create the wealth effect. For example, when the stock market soars, wealthy investors profit and typically spend more or borrow on their assets because of a “feel good effect,” Hardin explains. Conversely, when investment income is down, they usually pull back on their spending.

“There is a dependency on those investment returns,” he adds.

The wealth effect has a big impact on South Florida residential real estate because many of the home buyers are spending investment

Income from investment assets can create a wealth effect

income. It’s also the reason the price-tothat leads to buying pricier income ratio is higher in South Florida than homes and luxury goods. in other parts of the country, says Hardin.

While a typical ratio dictates that an average home is priced two-anda-half to three times higher than average earned income, in South Florida it could be four times higher. In some very wealthy pockets where inventory is small and prices are in the multimillions, the ratio might be 30 to 40 times the average earned income.

THE FUTURE LOOKS STABLE Although the stock market has been performing well and the economic outlook is positive, prices aren’t currently rising and won’t anytime in the near future, Hardin believes. Homeowners in the throes of the wealth effect are not desperate to sell, and some South Florida single-family home areas are already developed to the point that no new homes will be built. The segment that could see the most price pressure from supply 7.75” W x 4.75” H and demand is in what Hardin calls the “low- to mid-tier luxury condominium market,” which covers units priced between $1 and $5 million.

Condominium prices are typically more volatile than those for singlefamily homes, Hardin says, because the buyer is different. Condos are more often purchased for investment potential and turnover is higher.

Nineteenth Annual

Development also tends to saturate the market more quickly than that of single-family homes.

Recently, the single-family home market in Palm Beach and Collier counties, in particular, has experienced some price “flattening.” With the exception of the condominium market, says Hardin, there are no wild price swings. He believes the market will remain stable for the foreseeable future, although as any expert will tell you, all real estate is local. A relatively stable market could be a short distance from one that’s volatile, so before you plan to buy or sell, do your homework.

“I would tell buyers there’s no rush,” Hardin says. “If you’re buying a residential property, do the best you can and don’t worry about it.” «

HIDDEN TALENT

Philanthropist and heiress Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney is perhaps best known as the founder of the Whitney Museum of American Art in Manhattan. A lifelong supporter of fine art, Whitney began showcasing underappreciated American artists at her Greenwich Village studio in the early 1900s. Her personal collection evolved to more than 500 pieces and, after the Metropolitan Museum of Art refused an endowment, she established the Whitney in 1930. However, this legacy is but a footnote to Whitney’s artistic identity. A gifted sculptor, she received wide acclaim for her deeply emotional bronze creations. Beginning January 25, the Norton Museum of Art will mount “Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney: Sculpture,” the first exhibition of Whitney’s work since her death in 1942. This grouping of more than 40 sculptures and drawings highlights her range, from her later Art Deco–inspired efforts to her memorials for tragic events like WWI, which she experienced firsthand as a nurse in France. During her life, Whitney’s sculptures were displayed in exhibits throughout Europe and the United States, including a solo show at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1923. Now, a new generation of museumgoers can discover the incredible catalogue of this wonderful woman and her immeasurable contribution to American art.

CREATIVE COMRADES

Personal struggles often inspire the most captivating works of art. For West Palm Beach resident Mary Fisher, her battles with AIDS and cancer led to a passion for advocacy and a one-of-a-kind approach to multimedia art, predominately textile creation. From January 19 to February 10, she’ll display a body of work entitled Words to Silence as part of a group exhibition called “Textile Meditations: Mary Fisher and Friends” at the Armory Art Center.

She’ll be joined by American artists Jane Dunnewold and Marsha Christo as well as Jan Beaney and Jean Littlejohn, both of whom hail from London. The Armory’s first international textile exhibit, “Textile Meditations” will also include many auxiliary events, such as a keynote speech by Fisher on January 20 and a duo of workshops hosted by her compatriots.

Ring in 2018 at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens’ fortieth annual Oshogatsu festival, taking place January 7 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A time of rebirth, Oshogatsu is one of Japan’s biggest and most revered holidays. Families typically spend the last days of December settling debts and deep cleaning their homes in order to begin the New Year anew, often marking the occasion with a traditional meal known as osechi. The Morikami brings this Eastern celebration stateside for a day of Japanese-inspired merriment. This year, the festival will feature mochi-pounding and Sado tea ceremony demonstrations, as well as taiko drum and koto (a Japanese string instrument) performances. Visitors can also shop tea, plant, and craft vendors and learn what 2018 has in store for them with omikuji, or fortune telling. Whether you’re coming or going, be sure to wish everyone “Akemashite Omedetou,” which means “Happy New Year” in Japanese. Delray Beach (561-495-0233, morikami.org)

An Evening with P. J. O’Rourke Tuesday, February 6, 2018 • 6:30 pm Tickets: $50/member; $60/non-member Book signing to follow the lecture.

Leading Political Satirist & Best-Selling Author of The Baby Boom P. J. O’Rourke covers current events, combining the skill and discipline of an investigative reporter with a comedian’s sense of the absurd and the stupid. Known as a hard-bitten, cigar-smoking conservative, he, in fact, bashes all political persuasions.

Whether dealing with the inner workings of Washington bureaucracy or the shifting political and economic sands of the new world disorder, O’Rourke proves himself to be a savvy guide to national and global affairs. His razor sharp insights never fail to inform and entertain audiences.

JANUARY 11 - APRIL 29, 2018 Israeli-born Boaz Vaadia is best known for the figurative sculptures he made by carving and stacking stones that he found in the area surrounding his New York studio. Vaadia said, “I work with nature as an equal partner…That’s still the strongest thing I deal with today, that primal connection of man to earth. It’s in the materials I use, the environments I make and the way I work.” Vaadia’s public works can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, San Francisco MoMA, the Bass Museum of Art, and the Tel Aviv Museum.

Mira Fain

/BFA.COM ARIA ISADORA

Mira Fain developed an appreciation for vivid prints and Scandinavian design while spending time at her parent’s textile stores on Finland’s western coast.

By age 6, she was already sewing and creating clothing for her dolls and, later, her friends. After graduating from New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology, she moved to Los Angeles and held sartorial posts at Guess Inc., ABS by Allen Schwartz, and Laundry by Shelli Segal. In 2004, while searching the internet for “happy dresses,” she came upon Lilly Pulitzer’s bright frocks; she joined the legendary company a few months later. As executive vice president of product design and development, she’s helped evolve Lilly Pulitzer into a global lifestyle brand that now includes sportswear, children’s apparel, and more. When she’s not designing, the West Palm Beach resident enjoys traveling, playing tennis, and supporting local charities like Loggerhead Marinelife Center. —Kerry Shorr CURRENT FAVORITE FASHION DESIGNERS Alessandro Michele for Gucci and Karl Lagerfeld for Fendi CRAVABLE BITES Lobster salad at Pizza Al Fresco and poached salmon at Ta-boo GREATEST EXTRAVAGANCE My spoiled Bichon Frise FAVORITE ESCAPE The Mediterranean in the summer, particularly the Greek island of Spetses IN HER CARRY-ON A MacBook Pro, a cashmere poncho, a printed Lilly Pulitzer Mila shift, and gold Valentino Rockstud sandals SARTORIAL ESSENTIAL Gold insignia cuff by Carolina Herrera NOW READING Mademoiselle Chanel by C.W.
