EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK

The first time I met this month’s cover star, Milly Park, she came to lunch at Sant Ambroeus with her daughter Camila, and every eye in the room turned toward her. At first, I thought it was because she’s so striking, but later, after a string of compliments, I realized they were marveling at her and her daughter’s matching sage-green silk dresses trimmed with beads and crystals and tied at the back with a massive bow.

Had her admirers known that she conceived the dresses and sewed them startto-finish herself, they would have been floored. Milly, who’s married to Palm Beach philanthropist Patrick Park, didn’t have to sit at the sewing machine; she wanted to, because fabric is her chosen medium for creative self-expression. When I saw the rest of her designs, I invited her and her girls to sit for a series of fun, cinematic vignettes, masterfully executed by Nick Mele. Take a look and read all about Milly’s plans to bring her collection to the public in “Out of the Park,” starting on page 104.

In the spirit of celebrating fierce females, this month we also feature the work of photographer Erika Larsen, whose poignant images have been featured in National Geographic and in a number of international exhibitions. Erika lives in Boynton Beach but travels the world to witness and document the relationship of humans to their natural surroundings. When I first saw her photography, particularly the series “People of the Horse,” it stopped me in my tracks. It’s unadorned and honest but also provocative, as it proposes esoteric and sometimes complicated ideas about the environment and human existence. I invite you to view some of Erika’s images in “Lens on Life” on page 96.

Also in this issue is a slice-of-life story featuring lifestyle blogger and cookbook author Lauren Thomas. A friend gifted me Lauren’s beautiful cookbook, The Modern Hippie Table, and I thought it would be fun to share her entertaining style with our readers. Turn to “Savoring the Moments” on page 110 and experience Lauren’s “modern hippie” Thanksgiving, which is structured around familial warmth, simple elegance, and food traditions.

Wishing you and yours a lovely holiday season!

FROM THE PUBLISHER

WELL SEASONED

LILA PHOTO

“Do you remember what I wore to this event last year?” That’s a familiar refrain in our home, one that my wife delivers with great concern and consideration. My go-to response is to pull out a copy of this magazine and see what, indeed, she was wearing. It is one of the occupational hazards of being in the magazine business and fortunate enough to attend so many fantastic events throughout the social season.

Palm Beach Illustrated has long been a supporter of charitable organizations across Palm Beach County. For those of you who receive this magazine through the U.S. mail, a copy of our annual Palm Beach Charity Register arrived along with it. With the Charity Register, we chronicle what events are going on and when they are scheduled to take place. With Palm Beach Illustrated, it is all about who was there.

The fundraising events we feature and support serve purposes beyond the much-needed philanthropy. The balls, galas, luncheons, and cocktail parties are the social center of gravity that brings people together. Friends are reacquainted. Photos of new grandchildren are shared. Longtime friends whom we’ve lost are remembered. During my 18 years with this magazine, I’ve forged many of my closest relationships at such events as the Children’s Home Society of Florida’s Ultimate Dinner Party, Jupiter Medical Center Foundation’s Black-Tie Ball, Cancer Alliance of Help & Hope’s Shop the Day Away, International Red Cross Ball, and American Heart Association’s Heart Ball.

I look forward to each gala season with anticipation and joy for the friends we have yet to meet.

Palm Beach Illustrated will continue its tradition of support and involvement with the philanthropic community and the events that bring giving to life. Throughout the year we feature social gatherings in the pages of PBI as a record of what happened, where it happened, and the people who made it happen. We honor these organizations for the work they do to uplift those in need across Palm Beach County and for the fabulous events they create to bring us together.

See you at the galas!

Having solved the wardrobe conundrum, the Duffys enjoy the 2022 Heart Ball.

SPOTLIGHT

LET’S TALK

TURKEY The Town of Palm Beach United Way’s Turkey Trot is the island’s unofficial season opener. Since its inception in 2009, the Thanksgiving Day chip-timed race has sold out every year and, better yet, has provided meals to children and families who would otherwise not enjoy Thanksgiving dinner. Last year, the Turkey Trot provided funding to 19 local organizations, which translated to nearly 5,000 meals—and smiles of gratitude.

The brainchild of Palm Beacher Cara McClure, who serves on the Town of Palm Beach United Way’s board of trustees, the race is a community-building event for all ages. “I’m not much of a gala girl, so we tried to think outside the box,” she says. “I loved the idea of it being the one social event of the season where you could toss the stilettos and get a great sunrise workout.”

After 15 years hosting it with her husband—growing it from a 50-person run to a sanctioned race with more than 1,200 registrants—McClure has passed the baton to her younger sisters, Francesca Finck and Gabrielle Fricker, and their husbands.

“We spent many days running our own relay races and picnicking under the poinciana tree,” Fricker says. “When Cara began this journey, no one expected it would become a tradition, not only for our family but for so many local families.”

The Turkey Trot begins at Bradley Park, across from the White Elephant hotel, on Thanksgiving morning (November 23), with the Kids Drumstick Dash at 7 a.m. and the 5k race at 7:30 a.m. Though the race is sold out again this year, donations are still being accepted and spectators are encouraged.

NEW&NOW INSTALLATION

Audio Meets Visual Art is for all five senses, but we rarely engage more than one. However, a recent installation commissioned by the Northwood Community Redevelopment Agency and ArtLife WPB is a treat for the eyes and ears.

Visit Blum Park or Serenity Park and the first thing you’ll notice is Prismatic Tessellations, a series of steel sculptures by Molly Aubry. But step closer and you’ll hear an audio component titled Voices of Northwood, by portrait photographer and short film director Ates Isildak.

Isildak composed five compositions using “found”

sounds from Northwood, such as birds chirping, bicycle bells, basketballs bouncing, and glasses clinking. The recorded clips, which play through custom weather-resistant speakers, combine with traditional audio elements to transform into songs, ambient meditations, chill hip-hop, and dreamy blues. They interplay with Aubry’s sculptures to form one cohesive art experience. (wpb.org, molly aubry.com, strangewaverecords.com) —S.S.

Dreyfoos School of the Arts alumna Kimberlea Kressal never expected that spotting dilapidated dwellings while lost in the desert on a 109-degree day might become the inspiration to write, direct, and produce her own indie film, but such is life.

“I was grieving, and, like me, they were isolated, gutted, and barren,” she says of the dwellings. “They were sad. They were haunted. And so was I. From that connection, I found the inspiration for a story I’d been aching to tell.”

Kressal teamed up with fellow Dreyfoos folk—two of whom she met in 1990, in the inaugural class of what was then called the Palm Beach County School of the Arts—to make Jackrabbit Homestead. The psychological thriller stars Yara Martinez (of Jane the Virgin fame) and follows a bereft widow who inherits a homestead in the California desert.

Funded through an IndieGoGo campaign and private donations, the short film was shot with a cast and crew of 25 over four “very long” June days in Wonder Valley, California. After the film is “locked” post-production, Kressal plans Kimberlea Kressal to submit it to festivals. (kimberlea kressal.com) —S.S. N DO AN BR

GRANDMA KNOWS BEST GRANDMA GAIL AND HER GRANDDAUGHTER KIM BRIDGE GENERATIONS THROUGH LAUGHTER AND LOVE

BY SKYE SHERMAN

There’s a lot of thumb-stopping content on the internet today, not all of it as wholesome and hilarious as Excuse My Grandma, a podcast and series of viral videos on Instagram and TikTok covering one Palm Beach grandmother-granddaughter duo’s camaraderie and intergenerational differences in life and love.

Gail Rudnick, 81, has been married for 60 years; her granddaughter Kim Murstein, 27, is still looking for the one. “During the pandemic, I was completely remote for my work in television news, so I decided to leave New York City and live with my grandparents in Palm Beach,” Murstein says. “My grandma got a front-row seat to my dating habits, and we decided to start a podcast to talk about it.”

Shortly thereafter, they began creating videos on social media. Their first one was a joke about Murstein’s dating life. “She gave the advice, ‘Date someone who wants you.’ And I said, ‘Not my type,’” Murstein recalls.

52

Ever since, Murstein has wintered in Palm Beach with Rudnick, and Rudnick spends the rest of the year in New York with Murstein.

They’ve been surprised by how deeply their antics resonate with their audience. “People find our dynamic extremely relatable and love how it reminds them of a relationship they have or had with their grandparents,” Murstein shares.

However, there are many things they don’t see eye-to-eye on. “We try to have open dialogue and communication to share each other’s sides even if we don’t agree, and we want to inspire that in other families as well,” says Murstein.

Would she date someone if Grandma Gail didn’t approve? “I have, more than once,” Murstein admits. “But I think once I settle down, she has to like my permanent partner.” (excusemygrandma.com)

SHE SAID/SHE SAID Do you believe in love at first sight?

Kim: Absolutely! I am a dreamer, so I’m waiting for that knowing glance from across the room.

Gail: No, I think you have to know somebody before you realize you really love them. You can feel an attraction, but that doesn’t necessarily mean love.

Describe your ideal first date.

K: I’m a big activity date person—a show, live music, golf!

G: Eating in a beautiful setting, looking out at the sunset, and sharing a glass of wine.

Is an age difference a significant concern in a relationship?

K: I would say keep to a 10-year or less age gap.

G: Not really, as long as the gap isn’t too large. It also depends on what stage of life you’re in.

What gives you the ick in a relationship?

K: Texting “hehehe” instead of “hahaha.”

G: Somebody who eats with his mouth full.

Is it okay to have separate beds/rooms?

K: As hard as it is to have a permanent sleepover, I would find it strange not to share a bed.

G: When you get older, sometimes it’s necessary because someone snores too loudly, but not when you’re young, because usually no one snores.

Who’s your celebrity crush?

K: Lil Dicky G: Paul Newman

NEW&NOW Q&A

ON POINTE PALM BEACH GARDENS RESIDENT DAWN ATKINS TAKES CENTER STAGE AS A PRINCIPAL DANCER WITH MIAMI CITY BALLET

BY JUDY ALEXANDRA DIEDWARDO

When Dawn Atkins began dancing at age 5, she had dreams of becoming a principal dancer, the highest rank of technical ability and artistic maturity. Earlier this year, that dream came true when she was promoted at Miami City Ballet (MCB). The company will perform at the Kravis Center November 4-5, in a “Fall Mix” program that includes Serenade, In the Upper Room, and the world premiere of Sea Change from choreographer Jamar Roberts. Here, Atkins shares the secrets to her success, which she attributes to perseverance, a balanced life, and a flexible plant-based diet that allows for a cheeseburger now and then. (miamicityballet.org)

PBI: How did the opportunity to join MCB come about?

Atkins: MCB had always impressed me, and artistic director, Lourdes Lopez, is someone I’ve admired and followed for years. I danced with Boston Ballet for 10 years before my husband and I relocated to Palm Beach County. I joined MCB as a soloist in 2021.

Miami City Ballet’s Dawn Atkins (right) performs in works such as Prodigal Son, as seen below with Alexander Peters.

ALEXANDER IZILIAEV

How did you learn of your promotion? I understand it happened in February after your performance of Martha Graham’s Diversion of Angels.

Yes. It was an absolute dream-come-true moment. After Lourdes complimented me and my partner on a great performance, she looked at me, held my hand, and simply said the word “principal.” Oh my God, are you kidding? It was so profound. A neighbor of mine compared it to winning a gold medal at the Olympics. It definitely feels that way!

What have been your greatest professional challenges, and what have they taught you?

The demands of ballet are no joke. It’s rigorous and takes an absurd amount of dedication.

Not only am I in class every day followed by hours of rehearsal, [but] I’m doing strength training exercises to help prevent injuries and cross-training with Pilates to help improve my

dancing. But, after I suffered a knee injury in 2015 and couldn’t dance for months, I began to ask, “Am I taking care of my mental health? Am I developing myself beyond ballet?” As a result of that injury, I decided to continue my education and, in 2020, earned a bachelor’s degree in business from Northeastern University. To be the best dancer, you have to be a whole person.

What sparked your preference for a plant-based diet?

I demand a lot of my body and feel best when eating a plant-based diet that’s diverse and nonrestrictive.

When I was younger, I ate healthy food, but it had very little variety. At one point I stopped eating meat but later decided against any restrictions. I never want to feel bad or limited about a food choice. I can even have that cheeseburger and fries on occasion, even though I feel best with my core diet.

What are your favorite guilt-free pleasures?

My husband and I both love California wines so, when I’m not performing, that’s something I enjoy in moderation. I also have a huge sweet tooth, especially for Dove milk chocolates, ice cream, and cookies, which I enjoy in moderation. After all, it’s not mentally or physically healthy to have a rigid diet that includes guilt or sacrifice. Balance is key.

SOMETHING Herrera continues to share her story in hopes that it ABOUT IT, SO inspires even just one woman to get a screening. In June PLEASE GET 2022, she shared it with First Lady Jill Biden before she YOUR ANNUAL had the honor of introducing her at a cancer research SCREENING event in West Palm Beach.

After surviving breast cancer twice, Liliana Herrera is on a mission to help other local women get the care they need.

“We’re losing one of the most important populations in our communities,” Herrera says. “The wives, the mothers, the ones taking care of aging parents, the ones teaching in schools, and we’re losing them because they have no means of getting an annual screening. It’s not fair and it’s not right.”

Herrera was 29 years old when she was first diagnosed with breast cancer. When the disease returned almost four years later, she was ineligible for insurance. “I ended up in a situation where I had two choices: either let the cancer take its course or quit my job, lose my apartment, lose my car, and end up living on the street so that my income would be low enough for me to qualify for health care.”

With no family in the area, Herrera found herself alone and with few options. But a friend helped her secure a place to stay for several months until she got accepted for medical assistance. “I was sleeping in a lawn chair in a garage not knowing whether I was going to be able to save my life or not,” Herrera recalls. “That experience brought me to understand that I wasn’t alone, that there were many other women going through the same situation.”

THE ROAD TO STARDOM HOW SINGER AND PERFORMER KENDRA ERIKA JUMP-STARTED HER CAREER IN HER HOMETOWN OF BOCA RATON

Kendra Erika was born with musical confidence, but by age 8 she had already realized an unfortunate truth: she was tone-deaf.

That didn’t stop the aspiring performer from chasing her dreams. Erika began training with local German opera singer Gisbert Heuer and worked hard to overcome that obstacle, relying upon the work ethic she inherited from her parents, Ingrid and Fred Fulmer.

“Those years are a clear blur, but I learned so much,” says Erika, who is now 30 and lives in Los Angeles. “I began to sing in the Boca community as well as in productions while I was a student at Saint Andrew’s School. I credit Boca Raton for giving me a sense of community.”

Erika has come a long way since her high school and college days at Lynn University in Boca Raton, where she earned a degree in communications. She sang jazz and pop in local restaurants (including a regular gig at Renzo’s) and performed in such Boca Raton theaters as the Little Palm (now closed) and with the Sol Children Theatre Troupe. Even though she racked up regional accolades—including winning the Rotary Club of Boca Raton’s Future Star Performing Arts Competition two years in a row and being named a finalist for Boca’s Entertainer of the Year—she yearned for more.

“I got standing ovations and had big dreams for a career,” says Erika. “After college I got really serious as an artist. I was writing songs, recording, collaborating, always trying to improve myself while being true to who I am.”

Since then, Erika has had five Billboard Top 10 dance hits, even rising to No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart with 2019’s “Self-Control.” Grammy Award winner Damon Sharpe and Eric Sanicola produced the song, putting a futuristic twist on the 1984 pop/dance hit

by Laura Branigan. Erika’s remake of “Witchcraft,” produced for her own label, Oyster Shell Music, won for best producer/production at the 2023 Hollywood Independent Music Awards. In July, she released her latest single, “Have My Way with You.” 60

As a performer and a person, Erika notes that she likes to take risks—and her newest one is acting. She recently appeared in the film Cherry Picker, playing the pop singer girlfriend of a scammer. Though filmed in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, the story raises awareness of some of the hard realities of life in Hollywood, California. Now Erika is planning to make two other Florida-based films called Burning Bridges and The Ministry.

Her future will include a lot more risk-taking because escaping her comfort zone is what makes her tick. “I want to travel down a red brick road,” Erika says. “The yellow brick road is too predictable. The red brick road is more exciting and challenging. I never want to live in a box of expectations.” (kendraerika.com) «

Kendra Erika has come a long way from her Boca Raton performing arts roots, achieving success in her music and acting careers.

HEALTHY HABITS EXPERT TIPS AND EASY RECIPES TO STAVE OFF HOLIDAY WEIGHT GAIN

BY IVEY LEIDY PHOTOGRAPHY BY NATHAN COE

According to a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, the average American gains 1 to 2 pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas, with those who are already overweight gaining up to 5 pounds. Although 1 to 2 pounds doesn’t sound all that significant, the study also found that, for the most part, that weight never comes off.

The holidays are a time to enjoy festive foods and to celebrate with family and friends, all of which can be done while still keeping our health—both physical and mental—in check. As fun as they can be, the holidays can also spur a lot of stress and anxiety. Managing that stress by practicing a little self-care can ensure you don’t turn to food when those feelings emerge. Meditation, breathing and relaxation exercises, going for a walk, or simply calling a friend to chat have all been shown to reduce stress.

Furthermore, sleep deprivation can cause cravings, especially for high-sugar, high-fat foods. When we are sleep deprived, we tend to confuse the need for energy as a need for extra calories. Prioritizing sleep can help to keep cravings at bay, so practice good sleep hygiene,

to include avoiding screen time before bedtime and making sure your bedroom is dark and at a comfortable temperature.

Read on for mindful eating tips to help you navigate the holiday season, plus easy recipes for small meals that will keep you full.

X

8 MINDFUL EATING TIPS 1. Don’t demonize foods. The more we tell ourselves that we aren’t allowed to eat a certain food, the more we’ll want that food.

You’d be surprised how when we allow ourselves to enjoy that slice of pumpkin pie, we don’t end up eating the entire thing.

2. Listen to your body. One of the first things I tell a client is to really

62

think about how certain foods make them feel. Paying attention to how your body feels after eating can help guide us to make healthy choices.

3. Routine. Sticking to a daily exercise routine and/or a timed eating window can help keep you on track.

4. Hydrate. Studies have shown that 37 percent of people confuse thirst for hunger.

Staying hydrated can prevent that. A 150-pound person needs upwards of 100 ounces of water a day; add 16 more ounces if you live in a warm climate and exercise. Pro tip: drink a tall glass of water while you get ready for that holiday soiree.

5. Don’t starve yourself. Fasting all day in order to enjoy that holiday meal almost always leads to overconsumption. Small meals that focus on lean protein and fiber content will ensure satiety and keep you from overeating later.

6. Drinks count.

Did you know that the average margarita has approximately 700 calories? Stick to clear spirits sweetened with freshly squeezed citrus like lemon, lime, or orange and topped with mineral water or club soda. And always have a water on the side.

7. Protein. Focusing on high-protein meals and snacks throughout the day can help keep blood sugar stable and control your appetite.

8. Eat in order. Fill up on vegetables first, before you enjoy the non-nutritious party snacks. Fiber-rich foods will leave less space for the high-sugar treats.

the cactus-speckled terrain more than 10 years ago, the property has continuously added inventory and enhancements. As of Fall 2023, the peninsula—accessible exclusively by boat or helicopter—houses 43 completed ocean homes, villas, and suites (plus 11 in progress), with nearly 70 percent participating in the resort program.

While every abode is unique, strict design guidelines ensure an aesthetic that blends into the natural topography, down to the native flora landscaping.

Couples visiting Oil Nut Bay typically opt for a one-bedroom suite, many of which have been built directly into the cliffs, including the coveted Cliff Penthouse Suite. This 1,334-square-foot, stone-studded architectural

some 50 islands, and a wealth of uninhabited beaches all make for idyllic yachting vacations. Far less known are the destination’s ultra-luxe land-based offerings, none more impressive than Oil Nut Bay, a 400-acre resort community on its own peninsula at the easterly tip of Virgin Gorda. Here, cast within a 76

dramatic setting of high-rising tropical desert meets sparkling seas, housed in polished yet pared back digs, and privy to tricked-out amenities, guests discover a hypnotic daily rhythm rooted in the best of resort and yacht living.

Slow and steady has long been the mantra at Oil Nut Bay. Since it debuted its first units in

marvel features a living area with frameless, retractable, floor-to-ceiling glass doors that segue to a wraparound terrace edged by an infinity pool. A thoughtfully positioned master bedroom and oversize bathroom ensure unobstructed sea views from the comforts of bed and the deep soaking tub.

Those with family in tow can scale up to furnished, multi-bedroom villas. Constellations, for example, is a four-bedroom, bi-level, 4,470-square-foot exercise in understated elegance that dazzles with its north-facing panoramas, saltwater pool, and private beach area. Set to debut in 2024, the property’s latest muse, the Ocean Villas, will be Tahitian-inspired, glass-enveloped constructs of varying sizes, all evoking the sensation of floating overwater.

All Oil Nut Bay accommodations come with concierge services (accessible via WhatsApp or house mobile phones) and a dedicated electric cart that puts the entire estate and its

fabulous trappings within easy reach.

Much of the resortstyle action centers around The Beach Club, which fronts a reef-protected lagoon, erupting with lazuline waters and often teeming with sea turtles and other charismatic marine life. Within and beyond the lagoon, look forward to water sport adventures, from the more predictable (kayaking, snorkeling, and sailing) to the more extreme (sea bobbing, wing foiling, and even sea turtle tagging with a marine biologist).

Back on the palm-laced shoreline, The Beach Club’s trio of tiered swimming pools awaits, succeeded by a hot tub at even higher ground. To satisfy the desires of today’s epicurean travelers, the club’s restaurant serves farm-fresh salads, artisan flatbread pizzas from a wood-fire oven, and Wagyu burgers during the day and refined multicourse presentations come night. A recent dinner included a starter of heirloom beet carpaccio and a main of Caribbean red snapper with crispy leeks and burnt lemon purée, followed by the most droolworthy of desserts: caramel-roasted pineapple with coconut ice cream, vanilla crumble, and mango gel (washed down with a rum pairing from the resort’s collection of more than 52 varieties).

And for the vacationing parents needing respite from their beloved offspring, the Nut House Kids Club offers activities for kids 5 and older, all day, every day; a favorite is interacting with and tending to the

four emus and two horses at the on-site Animal Rescue Center.

A 5-minute cart ride west, Oil Nut Bay’s Marina Village presents another enclave for indulging, imbibing, and engaging in leisurely pursuits. Unlike The Beach Club, which remains exclusive to homeowners and guests, the Marina Village and its handful of shops and eateries are open to the public, making it a go-to hangout for the BVI’s yachting elite and the social hub of Oil Nut Bay. One anchor of the village is Nova Restaurant, a picturesque spot for sake, sushi, sunset

cocktails, Sunday jazz brunch, lazing the day away on suspended hammocks, or wading in the cantilevered pool. The other is the 93-slip marina, which permits day-trippers and overnight visitors to dock and play. Better yet, it enables homeowners and guests with their own watercraft to enjoy the best of land and sea. With the famed beach bars of Jost Van Dyke, pink sands of Anegada, hiking trails of Tortola, and secluded beaches of Virgin Gorda a short sail away, there’s no better way to experience this wonderland than to islandhop by day, returning to the comforts of Oil Nut Bay at your own pace. Few places can truly combine the elevated lifestyles of the resort and boat worlds, but Oil Nut Bay does just that, branding it one of the most spectacular destinations in the Caribbean, if not the entire tropics.

Epicurean DIVINITY

A MEAL AND STAY AT THE INN AT LITTLE WASHINGTON CONSTITUTE A RITE OF PASSAGE FOR FOODIES

BY PAUL RUBIO

Ranking travel experiences can be a challenge, especially when privileged with a job seeking out the world’s best. But after a recent stay at The Inn at Little Washington (a 23-key Relais & Châteaux property with an eponymous restaurant), I can confidently say that it represents the pinnacle of food travel in America.

In 1978, chef Patrick O’Connell opened The Inn at Little Washington in Washington, Virginia (current population: 83). Since then, O’Connell has developed an entire campus of restored historic buildings, including a main inn, a restaurant decorated with three Michelin stars, an 1850s Victorian house, a 1740s cottage, and Patty O’s Café & Bakery.

82

Three themes prevail throughout: food, theatrics, and perfection, a trifecta most palpable over a languid dinner at The Inn’s restaurant, where you’re likely to interact with “the Pope of American Cuisine” himself, who won the James Beard Foundation’s lifetime achievement award in 2019.

A typical evening begins with sips in either the quirky Monkey Lounge or the stately Living Room, both conceived by London stage and set designer Joyce Evans, who also imagined The Inn’s guest rooms and suites. Then (by advance notice), enter chef O’Connell’s showpiece gilded kitchen, aka his “Cathedral.” Chanting altar boys will escort you to a baronial fireplace for a fire-

sorbet and puffed wild rice; a chartreuse of savoy cabbage and Maine lobster with caviar beurre blanc; a pasta “rose” with local silver queen corn, chanterelles, and sungold tomatoes; and a choice of five aged cheeses from up to 30 prized varieties, courtesy of Faira, the cow-shaped cheese cart, and Cameron, the in-house cheese connoisseur (or “cheese whiz” as he’s locally known). Despite all this Michelin-worthy excess, O’Connell maintains a delightfully unstuffy ambience at his restaurant, where guests can choose to dress to the nines or not; the official dress code is “anything but wet bikinis.”

While it’s possible to visit The Inn for dinner only—Washington, D.C., is 75 minutes away, after all—the property merits a two-night getaway. The rich design of the rooms and cottages channels Americana-meets-Victorian floral fairy tale, while decadent breakfasts, picnic lunches, and afternoon tea presentations

side chat with the “Pope” over truffle-heavy popcorn, caviar-laced bites, and fine wine.

Next, it’s time for the main attraction. Opt for a table under moonlight in the conservatory, nestled among a circus of big-top umbrellas and towering potted plants. Choose wine pairings alongside either The Gastronaut’s Menu (nonvegetarian) or The Good Earth Menu (vegetarian). Regardless of which route you take, you’ll embark upon a multicourse meal likely to go down as the best of your life.

There are six official courses, but a surfeit of amuse-bouche, bread service, and post-dessert treats renders it more like 10.

Each ingredient-driven dish is thoughtfully and beautifully composed, mingling flavors familiar and new, demonstrating a mastery in classic and modern cooking techniques.

An enthusiastic waitstaff delivers it all to the table in synchronicity.

While the menus are constantly evolving, highlights from a recent fall dinner included a henhouse egg of garlic custard with sunchoke puree and Parmesan cream; carpaccio of bigeye tuna and swordfish with wasabi

are nothing short of epic. A second night grants ample time for dinner at Patty O’s, where the chef showcases his definition of casual comfort food (think: a Champagne-brined ham sandwich with shaved Comté cheese and whole-grain mustard on a sweet onion roll) and spins some of his greatest hits (hello, whole-roasted quail with mushroom-apple stuffing and braised fig). Plus, the extra days allow for more opportunities to work off some calories in the form of exploring the mountainous surrounds and hiking the trails of nearby Shenandoah National Park.

In short, The Inn at Little Washington is a small-town epicurean utopia, documented as my superlative dining travel experience in the lower 48. Whether it’s for the most memorable of meals or a weekend escape, a visit here is sure to be an incomparable feast for the senses. (theinnatlittlewashington.com) «

Get into THE GROVE MR. C COCONUT GROVE BRINGS EUROPEAN FLAIR TO A HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD

BY KRISTEN DESMOND LEFEVRE

Once a hot spot that has cooled a bit over the years, Coconut Grove is again on the rise. Long favored by artists and intellectuals, its Banyan-lined streets, bayfront parks, bohemian vibes, and sidewalk cafés combine to create a tropical oasis of tranquility. Sure, the Grove is a bit off-grid from other Miami marvels like Wynwood or South Beach. But this slower paced side of the Magic City has a sweet sophistication—and Mr. C Coconut Grove is at the heart of the area’s resurgence.

The “C” in Mr. C stands for “Cipriani.”

Following properties in Beverly Hills and Manhattan, the Miami outpost is the latest luxury boutique hotel conceived by Ignazio and Maggio Cipriani. The fourth-generation hoteliers are descended from Italy’s legendary Giuseppe Cipriani, who founded Harry’s Bar in Venice’s Piazza San Marco in 1931 and invented the Bellini, an aperitivo made of Prosecco and peach purée.

The hotel hasn’t forgotten its heritage. Here, 86

guests are greeted with a silver tray of Bellinis (crafted using Giuseppe’s original recipe) so that they may toast their arrival in a lobby that melds modernist Miami with the effortless style of Italy.

With exteriors designed by Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica and interiors

by Martin Brudnizki, Mr. C exudes a mash-up of nautical influences—from the property’s proximity to Sailboat Bay, to the specter of Stiltsville viewable from the private cabanas at the rooftop pool, to the tradition of seafaring Venetians and coastal Italian culture. The result is a building lifted on massive concrete and steel stilts, as well as rooms done in blue hues and glossy timber paneling with chrome detailing, plus banks of oversize portholeinspired windows. It all adds up to equal a sleek stay that feels like a dry-land version of a luxe yacht vacay.

Hit up one of Mr. C’s two on-site restaurants during your visit; Bellini sits atop the building, serving breathtaking views and classic Italian fare, while Il Giardino creperie on the first floor features a café set in a garden courtyard.

Or journey out into the Grove on foot to experience all the area has to offer. Situated one block from Biscayne Bay and Dinner Key Marina, Mr. C is near some of the neighborhood’s most popular haunts. Swing by Books & Books for a little independent bookstore browsing, Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop for a slice of key lime pie, Greenstreet Café for a nosh while you people watch, AC’s Icees for a beat-the-heat treat, Michelin-starred Ariete for a meal worth bragging about, or Panther Coffee for when it’s time to caffeinate.

No matter where you wander, you’ll find fun, food, and flair unique to this storied enclave tucked just south of the usual glitz and glam. (mrccoconut grove.com) «

Forza FERRARI THE TWO-DOOR ROMA COUPE IS A 612-HORSEPOWER TOUR DE FORCE

BY HOWARD WALKER

88

In celebration of the upcoming cinematic tribute to Scuderia Ferrari founder and “Il Commendatore” himself, Enzo Ferrari, I felt it my duty to get behind the wheel of one of Maranello’s latest and greatest. Allow me to introduce you to la bella Roma.

But first, the movie. Unless you’ve been living in a yurt in Tristan da Cunha, you’ll know that Ferrari, directed by Michael Mann and starring Adam Driver as Enzo, is slated to open in theaters Christmas Day. I’m counting the hours.

Signore Ferrari, who passed away in 1988 at the ripe old age of 90, would have loved the Roma. When it was launched back in 2020, it marked a return to classic front-engine Ferrari grand touring V8 coupes. Here is the successor to Ferrari’s Portofino folding hardtop roadster and, at around a quarter of a million bucks, essentially the first rung on the Ferrari ladder. A “starter” Ferrari, if you will.

A lover of fine engines, Mr. Ferrari once said, “When you buy a Ferrari, you are paying for the engine. The rest you get for free.” I’m pretty sure he would have nodded in quiet appreciation of the Roma’s exquisite power plant. Mounted well back under that curvy hood for near-perfect weight balance is a twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V8. It’s one of the great Ferrari engines, packing an impressive 612 hp and 561 lb-ft, and with an affinity for shrieking to its 7,500-rpm redline.

It powers a car that has more curves than Gina Lollobrigida in her sultry prime, more tensed muscles than Chris Hemsworth in Thor. See it in the metal and there’s hardly a sharp edge or crease anywhere—from the thrusting shark-nose front end, to the bulging rear haunches, to the swept-down roofline.

It was at the recent Monterey Car Week in California that Ferrari kindly offered me the keys to an ever-so-subtle Grigio Medio–colored Roma. I had four hours, just long enough for a fast blast south along the snaking Pacific

Coast Highway to Big Sur and the beloved Nepenthe coffee shop for a cappuccino.

The Roma is surprisingly spacious inside. Heck, there’s even a pair of rear seats—not that anyone over the age of 10 will fit back there.

But they fold flat and add to the luggage space. Pop the glass tailgate, and there’s room for a couple weekender bags.

One big disappointment here is that instead of some big red start

button on the center console, Ferrari has opted for a capacitive touch surface on the bottom of the steering wheel. It uses haptic feedback to recognize your thumb and provides about as much sense of occasion in firing up that mighty V8 as you’d feel turning on the radio in a Kia. But once I ignite the motor and pull back on the oversize paddle shifter behind the wheel, I’m rolling. Along the picturesque 17-Mile Drive, with the crashing Pacific Ocean to my right, the Roma is a docile, refined grand tourer, its 8-speed dual-clutch automatic shifting with oily smoothness.

However, as I approach Highway 1 and stomp on the throttle, Dr. Jekyll becomes Mr. Hyde in short time. The sheer thrust as the Roma slingshots forward is beyond breathtaking, accompanied by a soundtrack matched only by Pavarotti hitting the high notes in Nessun Dorma.

Select sport or race mode for the full fireworks, as the Roma’s true supercar persona is revealed. To hear the V8 as it screams toward the red zone is to experience aural magic. Through Highway 1’s tight twists and turns, the Roma tracks on invisible rails no matter how hard you push. Yes, the steering, while laser precise, is a little too light in feel for my taste. But there’s also an agility, dynamism, and athleticism synonymous with Ferrari.

What the Roma delivers is that glorious blend of relaxed grand tourer and heart-stopping supercar, all wrapped up in a body that’s pure design perfection. Signore Ferrari would have approved. «

WHY NOT?

BOASTING 50 PERCENT MORE INTERIOR SPACE THAN ANY OTHER 78-FOOTER, THE NEW WALLYWHY150 BREAKS ALL THE RULES

BY HOWARD WALKER

I

s it a boat? Is it a plane? Is it a floating penthouse? Is it a stealthy fighter jet for the seas? The answer, perhaps, is all the above. Meet the 78-foot Wallywhy150 from disruptive Italian builder Wally Yachts.

Yes, it’s weird. Wally has been doing weird for almost three decades, and when crafting this speedy motor cruiser, it shredded the

92

nautical design rulebook to create what it describes as a floating “spaceship.”

And a spaceship is exactly what it is. By doing away with traditional mini-superyacht features (such as walk-around side decks and a big foredeck) and stretching the beam to more than 22 feet, Wally designers managed to squeeze in 50 percent more interior space than comparable 78-footers.

Maybe the best example of this spaceenhancing design is the cavernous master suite, which is nestled on the main deck, right behind the vertical bow. It comes with wraparound windows—there’s even a window incorporated into the upright bow— to offer CinemaScope-

style, 270-degree forward views. Just imagine yourself luxuriating in the forward-facing double bed and seeing water all around. Kate and Leo on the bow of the Titanic didn’t have as panoramic a vista as this. Wally calls it the “amphitheater of the sea.”

Then there’s the open-plan saloon, which boasts ceilings that measure an unthinkable 8 feet, 2 inches tall. Sitting at the all-black dining table and gazing out through floorto-ceiling windows is like being in a glassfilled atrium.

In case you’ve never heard of Wally Yachts before (if you love boats, that’s hard to believe), it was founded in 1994 by Luca Bassani, a passionate Italian sailor, entrepreneur, and visionary. Now part of the burgeoning Ferretti Group, Wally has built some of the sexiest, most avant-garde, most technically advanced sailboats and motor yachts on the planet.

As for the rather oddball “Wally” name, it was inspired by the 1960s Hanna-Barbera

cartoon featuring a waterskiing Cajun alligator, Wally Gator. Bassani loved the character and named his first racing sailboat in his honor. And if you’re wondering about that “Wallywhy150” moniker, the “why” is short for “Wally Hybrid Yacht,” with the 150 reflecting the yacht’s interior volume rather than length.

The Why150 was one of the stars at the recent Cannes Yachting Festival in the South of France, breaking new ground by offering so

94

much space while still being operatable by an owner and spouse.

In addition to that jaw-dropping primary suite, there are three more cabins on the lower deck, laid out as a spacious VIP plus a guest double and guest twin cabin. For those times you might need a crew, there are two more compact cabins in the bow.

But what really sets the 150 apart is its massive exterior deck for tanning, lounging, or entertaining. At the stern, huge glass doors open out from the saloon and galley for indoor/ outdoor living, with the rear sundeck featuring a hydraulic swim platform. When not being used for Busby Berkeley–coordinated diving, it can carry a 13-foot tender.

The upper deck is completely open and has a dining table and U-shaped sofa shaded by a large canvas top. Ahead is that trademark Wally pilothouse, with dark-tinted glass set at crazy angles.

As you’d expect, there’s no shortage of horsepower. Standard motors are triple Volvo 900-hp Penta D13s driving IPS pod drives, with the option of 1,000-hp versions. With the bigger Volvos, expect a 23-knot top speed and a range of around 370 nautical miles courtesy of 2,378-gallon tanks.

Of course, the Wallywhy150 won’t be for everyone. The sheer amount of attention it’ll get outside any waterfront eatery may be a little overwhelming. But what you have here is a sexy, daring, outrageous family cruiser with an immense amount of interior space, some remarkable design features, and a level of quality and craftsmanship that justifies the roughly $6.7 million asking price. A spaceship indeed. «

Erika Larsen reaches high onto a shelf behind her desk and retrieves a Pentax K1000 camera that she bought when she was 15.

Even at that young age, she believed that photography would be her means of connecting with the world around her.

“My dad worked for NASA on the Hubble Space Telescope, [and] I remember him bringing home some of the early images that were coming back from Saturn,” says Larsen. “There was that moment of realization that you can hold the planets in your hand. I thought not only is photography bringing something that’s

very far away close, it’s also reminding me that I’m a part of everything.”

Since that first Pentax, Larsen has used dozens of cameras and traveled all over the world documenting the intersection of man and the natural world. National publications including Time, Field & Stream, and National Geographic have commissioned her for pictorials, and her work has been included in exhibitions at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, the National Geographic Society, and the Fotografiska Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. She is currently a National Geographic Explorer

and Photographer, a designation that National Geographic reserves for “exceptional individuals in their fields who receive funding and support from the society to illuminate and protect our world through their work in science, exploration, education, and storytelling.”

Larsen is renowned for her unique photographic expressions. In an interview with Larsen for the National Press Photographers Association, Jim Colton, former photo editor for Newsweek, wrote that “a photograph can also speak volumes with a whisper. The stoic beauty of a quiet moment can pierce the heart. Few have managed to do that as well as Erika Larsen. Her work, in a word, is enchanting, simple in structure, thoughtful in composition, and always conveying her vision with a quiet elegance.”

98

A Boynton Beach resident, Larsen is now focusing her camera closer to home. In January, she had a feature story in National Geographic about the Florida manatee. “[We chronicled] what was going on with the manatee and the environmental impacts of what is happening with manatee habitats, seagrass loss on the East Coast, and seagrass restoration on the West Coast in places like Crystal River, and how large organizations are working with the manatee situation.”

The story emanated from another project, a Florida-based film that she is cowriting and codirecting. “We look at what it means to be enchanted and how we can find a deeper connection with our daily lives and the environment … and how that pushes us to think about our own existence in connection with the world around us,” says Larsen,

who has been working on the film for two years. As research, she is currently enrolled in a yearlong program at the University of Amsterdam’s Centre for the History of Hermetic Philosophy and Related Currents, focusing on academic research and teaching in the field of esotericism. “I am looking at the theological currents and how we relate to existence in order to deepen our character development for our film.”

This in-depth research is indicative of Larsen’s dedication to her craft. As a high-school student in Maryland, she enrolled in weekend classes at a local community college and began studying photography. “I remember talking to my teacher and saying, ‘I want to do this as a career,’” she recalls. The teacher encouraged her to apply to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in Rochester, New York, home to Eastman Kodak. Larsen submitted her only college application to RIT and was accepted. She earned a BFA in photography in 1997, followed by an MFA in animation and film and computer graphics in 1999.

After graduation, she moved to New York City and spent a year assisting photographers in all genres while building her own portfolio. She started showing her work to publications like Time, Newsweek, Fortune, and The New York Times. In 2001, she landed one of her first freelance jobs at Time magazine. “Time hired me to do themes around everyday people dealing with difficult life moments,” she explains. “My work reflected these more quiet, intimate moments. I was young and in my own process of how do you process other people’s emotions? How do you process spending time with a family dealing with a terminal illness?”

Looking for a respite, Larsen focused on a new project in her off time. “I began to photograph hunting. I started working for Field & Stream magazine. I was looking at how hunting ties into the ancestral and cultural connections in Canada and the United States.”

In 2007, she moved to the Scandinavian Arctic and lived with Sámi reindeer herders to better understand their culture and relationship to their ancestral roots and the Arctic landscape. While there, she learned the North Sámi indigenous language, which currently has between 12,000 and 15,000 speakers. “I was able to create this extended story about the Sámi reindeer herder connection to their ancestral past and how they bridge that into a modern economic society,” she says. The work comprises her first monograph, a book entitled Sámi, Walking with Reindeer, published in 2013.

The Sámi project caught the attention of the team at National Geo-

graphic, for which she now regularly creates provocative images that tell compelling stories of man and nature. Some of her most noted pictorials include the first National Geographic single-topic issue, published in 2016 and titled Yellowstone: The Battle for the American West.

Her work was also showcased in an issue called Women: A Century of Change, which came out in 2019. “We produced an entire issue of National Geographic done entirely by women, photographed by women, edited by women, written by women, about women, and I was the main portrait photographer on that,” says Larsen. For the project, she photographed 21 women around the world, including the prime minister of New Zealand; Oprah Winfrey; Emma Gonzalez, an activist and survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting; and Sylvia Earle, a marine biologist who grew up in Florida.

sense of connection and understanding she brings to her assignments. “I have always been struck by the tenderness Erika shows in her work and how deep she goes into her subjects,” says Sarah Leen, director of photography emerita for National Geographic Partners and the founder and editor of Visual Thinking Collective. “Her sensitivity is very special and people can feel that.”

“What sets Erika apart is her unwavering dedication to grasping the essence of the stories she’s entrusted to convey,” says Kaya Berne, a photo editor who has worked with Larsen on pictorials for National Geographic and Time. “She consistently invests extra time in researching the subject matter and thinking creatively about ways to authentically [portray] her subjects. Erika approaches her assignments as if they were her own stories, demonstrating profound empathy and a willingness to gain a new perspective.”

Larsen is excited to continue to challenge her visual storytelling capabilities with her Florida film project, which she describes as a “fictionalized interpretation of real-life events in Florida. The plot weaves together multiple timelines to reveal stories about Florida’s cultural, environmental, and geopolitical history and the spirit of enterprise that leads characters from the depths of primordial swamps to dreams of our cosmic origins among the stars.”

She hopes the film will give viewers an opportunity to learn about the human story in relation to time and existence. “Photography is this way for us to understand who we are.” « PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | NOVEMBER 2023

illy Park found her love of fashion in a flamenco skirt.

The youngest of five children born to a Venezuelan mother and a Chinese father, Milly grew up in a family full of artists, including painters, musicians, and, perhaps most importantly for Milly, a seamstress. While living in Venezuela, she discovered the traditional Spanish dance from her grandmother’s native country and yearned to master it.

“I can remember coming home and saying, ‘Grandma, please, please, you have to make me a flamenco outfit,’” she says. Milly and her family consider her grandmother, the now85-year-old Neri Bruguera, to be “the perfect woman,” thanks to her long-lasting marriage and masterful career as a seamstress, having made wedding gowns, flower girl dresses, and outfits for all kinds of special occasions.

As she worked, Bruguera took 5-year-old Milly under her wing, giving her sequins and beads to hand sew to scraps of lace. Milly thought her grandmother’s attention was as magical as her creations, not minding an occasional poked finger as she learned. Eventually, her grandmother agreed to make the flamenco skirt.

“We went to the fabric store and had to hunt for the right pieces,” recalls Milly, now a 36-year-old mother of two. “I had to wait and wait for her to be done.”

Milly and her twin daughters, Mia and Camila, are all wearing Milly Park designs. When creating her pieces, Milly does not sketch nor does she use patterns. Her designs are feminine and often embellished, but they still allow for ease of movement.

With the first flash of white ruffle (accented with red hearts), Milly knew what it meant to be loved. “I felt special in everything she made,” says Milly, voice thick with emotion.

In her grandmother’s tradition, Milly became a skilled seamstress and fashion designer in her own right—making clothing for herself, her friends, and her family, even showing her grandmother some new tricks that today’s technology allows.

Now Milly is taking the first steps to share the special feeling she first felt as a little girl more broadly. This month, she will launch an eponymous website (millypark.com) to tell her story and introduce her brand of oldworld craftsmanship and intergenerational outfits to a wider audience. In the new year, she plans to debut a line of clothing for sale on her website.

“It’s a God-given gift,” Patrick Park says of his wife’s talent for design.

Patrick and Milly first met through friends but then fell in and out of touch for some time before he asked her to dinner.

“We talked so much, I went home hungry,” Milly recalls of that first date. By that time, she had moved to Boca Raton with her entire family, including her grandmother and two more younger siblings her father shares with his second wife.

Milly and Patrick’s common interests included the arts, philanthropy, and devotion to their families.

The couple, who recently sold the Jupiter home they shared with their 9-year-old fraternal twin daughters, Mia and Camila, are excited to unveil Milly’s designs, which she makes without so much 106 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

as a sketch or a pattern. Her ideas come constantly, like visions, she says. She draws inspiration from the places she’s lived and traveled, as well as from fashion designers whom she admires. However, no one inspires her as much as her daughters do.

“When I became a mother, I had a whole different dream,” says Milly, who is teaching her girls in the same way her grandmother taught her, with small projects and gradually more complicated oldworld techniques. “I’d always been into fashion, but at that moment, I wanted to create something special for them.”

Caring for newborn twins wasn’t the season for creativity, Milly learned. “There was absolutely no sleeping,” she says with a laugh. Even so, she found things she could make between feedings and diaper changes—pieces of jewelry suitable for children, for example.

Soon, she was back behind a sewing machine, assembling dresses for her girls and herself. “The way Milly looks at our daughters is extremely beautiful,” Patrick says. “When she puts her outfits on them, my eyes get watery.”

Celebrating the special nature of children and their connection to their mothers is front of mind for Milly as she creates and seeks to tell a story about the preciousness of childhood, a time of protection and play. Her goal for her mother-daughter collection, however, is to coordinate and blend individual pieces that can be worn with or without counterparts.

“The idea is to be similar but not the same,” she says. “The outfits have the same feel, maybe the same fabrics. They’re meant to be playful but sophisticated, not like wearing a costume. A woman does not need to be a mother to appreciate a dress.”

Her often-embellished clothing is perfect for a special occasion, though she also has selections for every day. Her looks are always feminine and, whether for mother or child, are well-fitted and suitable for movement.

Milly’s friend of 15 years, Rosa Miranda of Guadalajara, Mexico, attests that she has accom-

plished these goals. “The one thing I love about Milly’s dresses is that they’re made so well to fit your body,” Miranda says through a translator. “I feel comfortable, day or night. Her clothes are so comfortable, so light, and so elegant.”

As for the future, Milly says the possibilities are wide open. The Parks are planning to relocate to Spain, but they’ll maintain a property in the Palm Beaches; they’re waiting for a place in The Residences at Mandarin Oriental in Boca Raton to be constructed and anticipate traveling between their homes frequently to spend time with family. Milly hopes her website and cloth-

ing line will be well-received, allowing her to create seasonal- and location-inspired designs.

“We aren’t looking to be a Fortune 500 company,” Patrick says. “She has an innate talent that we’d like other people to experience.

When you have a passion, you will find success along the way.”

As for Milly, she says seeing her family bloom is her No. 1 goal, but she has dreams for this new venture, too. “For this to be established means that other women will know what I know,” she says. “I want other kids to feel as special as my girls. That’s what I want to share.” « PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | NOVEMBER 2023

Savoring THE MOMENTS Come Thanksgiving, cookbook author Lauren Thomas relishes the opportunity to share cooking and camaraderie with her family

BY ANN KAISER | PHOTOGRAPHY BY JERRY RABINOWITZ

F

or author and lifestyle blogger Lauren Thomas, entertaining runs in the family. In her maternal grandmother’s warm, cozy kitchen, she learned to slice, spice, and bake. At her paternal grandmother’s boisterous, elegant gatherings, she learned how to party. “I remember how good people felt when they were at her house,” she says. “That’s where I learned what makes a good hostess.”

Though her love affair with entertaining started at a young age, Lauren has put her own spin on those early influences. As she’s hosted friends and family in dorm rooms, apartments, and now in the Jupiter home she shares with her architect husband, Christian, and their two teenage children, Ella and Brayden, Lauren has realized that making people feel welcomed and well-fed is one of her biggest gifts and greatest joys—and that a fantastic dinner party is about way more than the menu.

“Entertaining is less about the decor and the food than it is about the atmosphere,” she says. “When people come into my home, I want them to immediately feel relaxed and welcomed, which has so much

“

I SEE HOMES AS PLACES THAT STORE MEMORIES FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.” —Christian Thomas

Gluten-Free Stuffing Ingredients (serves 6-8)

In addition to turkey and gluten-free stuffing, Lauren’s Thanksgiving feast often includes simple yet delectable sides such as popovers (above), roasted tarragon carrots, and steamed green beans.

to do with the lighting, music, and energy.”

Lauren appreciates the chance to slow down and savor the moment—and the meal—with her guests, a philosophy that runs through her book, The Modern Hippie Table, which came out last fall. The featured recipes are approachable yet delicious and cover everything from salads to desserts.

Lauren also shares tips for setting the mood and prepping in advance, so readers can spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying themselves.

The term “modern hippie” speaks to an era when people tended to be more present at the table and less distracted by tech devices. “As soon as guests come into my home, I want them to feel transported to a place where they don’t have to think about anything but enjoying themselves,” Lauren says.

For her, that means thinking ahead about not just the food, but also the music, table design, and lighting (a dimmable light over the dining table is a must, she notes). Lauren involves her kids as well, with Brayden helping her in the kitchen and Ella sparking conversations after greeting guests.

By the time guests arrive, the Thomases already have soft music playing (often a mix curated by Ella and Brayden), the bar set up, and something in the oven, scenting the space. “Make people feel like you were expecting them,” says Lauren. “If you’re stressed or absent from the room doing 112

various tasks, people are going to sense that energy.” Kick off your shoes—literally and figuratively—and they will do the same. And don’t worry about things being too perfect; being present is far more important.

That “perfectly imperfect” energy is reflected in Christian’s design of their 1958 mid-century modern home as well. “I design from a place of memory,” he says, “and I see homes as places that store memories for future generations.”

During an initial renovation that respected their home’s history, Christian finished the walls in a waxed lime plaster, a material that is meant to age with time. Their oak dining table has retained the dings and marks from homework assignments and dinner parties past. Their funky dining room lighting fixture (designed by Ingo Maurer) also embodies the evolution of their family. Over the years, quotes, memories, and childhood doodles alike have made their way onto the chandelier’s rice paper pages.

Though Lauren prefers small gatherings to big parties, Thanksgiving is an exception, in large part because of the intergenerational guest list. “It’s the one holiday a year when our whole family gets together,” says Lauren, who celebrates with nearly two dozen aunts, uncles, and cousins. “It’s my favorite holiday because I’m in the kitchen with my mom.”

Some traditions are set in stone: Lauren’s mom always stuffs the turkey, and her uncle

4 1/2 lb. gluten-free bread (about 4 loaves) 1 lb. ground breakfast sausage (sage sausage recommended) 1 1/2 cups salted butter (1 stick) 6 cups celery, diced 3 cups onion, finely chopped 5 tbsp. poultry seasoning 1 tbsp. salt 1 tbsp. pepper 2 tbsp. rubbed sage 1 tsp. ground thyme 2 cups dried cranberries 1 cup skim or plant-based milk 2 eggs 1 cup turkey stock Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl or roasting pan, break up the bread into half-inch pieces and set aside.

In a large nonstick skillet, brown the sausage, breaking it up into small pieces.

Transfer the sausage to a small bowl and set aside. In the same skillet over medium heat, add the butter, celery, and onion.

Cover and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, season the bread with the poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, rubbed sage, and ground thyme. Use your hands to fluff the spices into the bread evenly.

Mix in the ground sausage, onions, celery, and dried cranberries.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and turkey stock, and drizzle evenly over the mixture while stirring.

Transfer the stuffing to a greased baking dish, the size of which will depend upon whether you will use some of the stuffing to stuff your turkey. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil. Bake for 40 minutes.

Remove the lid and continue baking for about 5-10 minutes, or until the top is brown and crispy. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

“

THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL FOR HOSTING IS TO BE AWARE OF THE ENERGY THAT YOU BRING TO THE ROOM....”

—Lauren Thomas

always carves it. Her family has been making the same stuffing since she was a little girl, and a group still gets together the day before to help break the bread for the recipe. “When I think of Thanksgiving, I think of being in my nana’s kitchen with my mom and brother, breaking bread for stuffing,” she says.

Much like Lauren does now, her maternal grandmother knew her recipes by heart and cooked intuitively, gauging how much of each spice to put in by smell. Though she is now gone, they keep her picture in the kitchen as they cook. “We still ask, ‘Nana, what do you think?’”

But some things do change: to accommodate family members with food sensitivities, they now make the stuffing gluten-free— and have found that the whole family likes the new version even better. Side dishes change year to year, but they always stay simple to let the rich flavors of the stuffing shine.

Though she shares the cooking with her mom, Lauren is in charge of the table decor, and she prefers to keep the design elegant and a little asymmetrical, with an element of nature.

Think: in-season fruits and veggies arranged with flowers and candles. She likes to tuck fresh herbs or flowers into cloth napkins at every seat, even at the kids’ table.

When dinner is served, Lauren is often the one to get the conversation flowing with what her friends and family call “Lauren questions.” She may ask people to name the achievement they’re most proud of from the past year, reveal a secret talent, or share their favorite thing about each person at the table.

Though Lauren is an expert host, she asserts that you don’t have to be born into a family of ace entertainers to become one yourself. “The most important skill for hosting is to be aware of the energy that you bring to the room and realize what other people need,” she says. “And that’s a skill you can grow.”

At the end of the day, it’s all about the company. The best moment, Lauren says, “is well into the meal, or even after, when the candles have burned low, the wine and food are scarce, and the sound of laughter erupts from those still sitting around the table.” « 114

FEAST FOR THE EYES in. While plating in the kitchen, I realized how beautiful the last step was and thought the guests needed to see it in action. Since we eat with our eyes first, I decided to generously pour the sauce tableside as seen with [the viral meme] Salt Bae.” Ready to try it?

CURRENT MEDIA

New delicacies are now available at Kapow Noodle Bar in Boca Raton and West Palm Beach thanks to the appointment of Angelo Arboleda as culinary director. A veteran of the local dining scene, Arboleda helped to grow Calaveras Cantina and led the development of Voodoo Bayou.

At Kapow, he’s sought to add some fresh, exciting dishes to the contemporary Asian menu, to include desserts such as this Ube Bae Cake.

“Ube, being an Asian ingredient that is raging on social media, stood out to me,” Arboleda explains. “It’s vibrant and fun in color but overlooked for its flavor profile, which is earthy, sweet, and complex. However, I still wanted something that was approachable, so I went with a layered mousse cake, [which] I made with a great mentor of mine, JeanPierre from Chez Jean-Pierre Bistro Palm Beach, many years ago.”

To complement the ube with a touch of nuttiness, Arboleda chose to fold a toasted coconut orgeat into his vanilla mousse. His next consideration? Texture and presentation.

“It needed crunch, so I topped it with a crispy ube meringue and drizzled it with a velvety crème anglaise. This is where the ‘Bae’ comes

In June, Michael and Theresa Drapkin opened West Palm Wine Co., an independent wine shop “dedicated to the intersection of small-batch, natural, and traditional wines.” While most hosts tend to choose one, maybe two wines to pair with their Thanksgiving feasts, we decided to task the Drapkins with selecting a wine for each element of the meal.

BY MARY MURRAY

TURKEY “Pair it with a delicate bottle of red that can benefit from a slight chill before serving. The 2021 Jean Foillard Beaujolais would be a delightful marriage. This wine from Burgundy is made with Gamay from old vines in the hands of an iconic winemaker. Tart red fruit, spicy, and refreshing.”

X CRANBERRY SAUCE “The sweet and tart quality of the timeless cranberry sauce needs a wine with similar qualities. Our selection is an off-dry pink bubbly, the NV Renardat-Fâche in Savoie, France, called Cerdon Bugey.

It’s fizzy, cranberry-hued, and will wed nicely with the dance of sweet and tart on the palate.”

PUMPKIN PIE “A rule of thumb is to pair sweet with sweet. One of the most common mistakes is when a sweet dessert is paired with a dry Champagne, [as] the sweetness overpowers the intricacies of dry Champagne. Instead, look for an airy Riesling, like the 2020 Willi Schaefer Riesling hailing from the Mosel in Germany.”

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH MARSHMALLOWS “The richness of this dish requires a wine equally as powerful but that can also act as a balance to the density of flavors. Our choice would be the 2020 Remi Jobard Bourgogne Blanc, which is made with 100 percent Chardonnay. The wine is fermented and aged in wood, which imbues it with strength and an unctuous texture.”

STUFFING “A formidable stuffing screams for a glass of sturdy red wine.

We look to the Syrah grape to fill this role.

The 2020 Pax Mahle North Coast Syrah has all the benchmark qualities of a refined Syrah: notes of smoked meat, damp earth, black fruit, and olives.”

MAC AND CHEESE “The warm pasta oozing with cheese deserves a classy, racy bottle of Blanc de Blancs from Champagne. Our selection is the NV Pierre Moncuit Champagne from the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.

This wine is intricately detailed, like the finest needlepoint. It has the hallmark qualities we all adore in a good bottle of Champagne: delicacy counterbalanced by powerful aromas and flavors of brioche, baked apple, and spice. Exhilaratingly dry and snappy.”

Patrons can enjoy tea in either the restaurant’s main dining room or sundappled courtyard. They can also augment the experience with a glass of bubbly. (cafeboulud.com/palmbeach) —M.M.

Horchata for the Holidays

November signals the start of the festive season. Regardless of whether you deck the halls as soon as you take off your Halloween costume or prefer to celebrate from Thanksgiving onward, we could all use a smooth, creamy, refreshing beverage to mark the occasion.

Originating in North Africa as far back as 2400 B.C. and introduced to Southern Spain by the Moors, horchata was traditionally made from chufa, or tiger nuts. The Spanish brought horchata with them to the Americas, but since tiger nuts were not available, the recipe evolved to use rice instead.

Today, there are as many variations of horchata as there are regions across Latin America. Regardless of the different grains, nuts, and seeds used to prepare it, the beverage remains plant based. This recipe includes a few key ingredients sure to add a little extra chacha to your next horchata.

FROM CIT Y TO OCEAN, THE FINE ART OF PALM BEACH LIVING

DESIGN

Serenity Now Nestled in an expansive Palm Beach oceanfront estate, this bedroom by MarcMichaels Interior Design is both refined and serene.

“We wanted this room to have all the comforts of home,” says lead designer Melissa Adair. “It offers a fully upholstered, tufted bed with comfortable bedding, reflectivity in both lighting and furniture, and a relaxing seating area of soft neutrals. Lavender and green accents throughout add to the sophisticated vibe.”

Because the homeowner wanted to maximize the room’s views, every wall has either windows or doors. Adair adapted to this challenge by draping the bed wall in a beautiful sheer fabric that complements the de Gournay wallcovering and incorporating blackout shades for privacy.

INSPIRED LIVING

Getting the HANG OF IT A LOCAL ART ADVISOR OFFERS A CRASH COURSE IN COLLECTING

BY LIZA GRANT SMITH

PBI: What are your first steps when advising new clients?

Werner: After establishing the budget, the initial goal is discerning where the clients’ tastes, interests, and collecting inclinations rest. I then compile an extensive portfolio of art selections, which includes a wide range of styles, periods, mediums, subject matter (from figurative to abstract), cultural diversity, palettes, and price points. For example, I recently sent a couple over 300 “vetted” options just to get the creative process flowing. They aligned on about 50 artists, and I delved deeper into the body of work for those 50 artists. They eventually selected 11 pieces from various artists from around the world. The collection was diverse and dynamic, just like the couple themselves.

What should people never do when selecting art?

Never match the art to accessories. It’s novice and implies [an] art world neophyte.

How should the pieces of art that you own speak to you?

When a piece is “right,” the viewer typically has a physical, visceral response. Does it take your breath away or send chills through your body? Has the work emotionally moved you in some shape or form? On some level, does the piece invoke or inspire curiosity? If the answer is yes, rest assured, the piece is right for you.

What is in high demand now among your South Florida clients?

Generally speaking, I sell more abstract works in South Florida. With the volume of uncertainty in the world today, abstracts [like those by Mark Rothko, Wassily Kandinsky, and Brice Marden] are less complicated, freer, and more open to interpretation. That said, I have many clients who prefer figurative works

10/2/23 9:45 AM

Should an art purchase work toward building a collection with a general theme, or can each piece function independently?

Some collectors are well versed, quite disciplined, and have set distinct parameters for what they’re looking to acquire. These buyers center a collection around a favorite artistic period, movement, or style. Other collectors are more visually random and purchase what resonates. In this case, their collections tend to be more diverse.

That said, I’ve often found that even collections formed “independently” carry some level of cohesion—a common thread, if you will.

How much should artwork be an asset investment versus an emotional investment?

That depends on one’s investment strategy. If you’re planning to build a collection as an asset class in and of itself, then buy the very best avail-

able from a favored artist.

An advisor can help navigate [you] toward that very best category piece and can help acquire it at the right price. A more casual collector might be drawn to an emotional purchase. In this case, I’d advise to carefully review artists’ bios and exhibition history as a safeguard for potential growth.

COURTESY OF GALERIE WERNER

[like those by Pablo Picasso and David Hockney] or more tangible subjects such as landscapes.

What is your favorite “first piece” that you’ve helped someone buy?

Never Alone by Lúcio Carvalho. It was gratifying to place this piece because I believe the artist is on the rise and currently affordable. Additionally, it suited [the collectors’] personalities—traditional at heart but willing to take a risk on a fantastical representation of the fragility of life.

What is the best way for people to begin learning what type of art they love?

Visit museums, art fairs, and galleries and see artwork in person. Over time, you’ll discover what you’re drawn to, what you like, and equally important, what you don’t like.

A view from Mizner’s fivestory tower toward the Everglades Club.

A LOOK AT THE TRIO OF BUILDING MATERIALS SYNONYMOUS WITH PALM BEACH

BY MARIE PENNY

Local architects have long drawn from a palette of raw materials to fulfill their vision for gracious living, and there are three that could be considered the trifecta of Palm Beach style: pecky cypress, Florida keystone, and barrel roof tile. Two of the three (pecky cypress and Florida keystone) are only found in the Southeast, though they are not as bountiful as they once were. These materials show the imprint of nature, all the while weathering the plentiful sunshine, salty trade winds, and rainfall. Here, we share an example of each.

X

The Mizner Memorial Fountain was designated as a landmark in 1979.

1. VILLA MIZNER, 1923 Addison Mizner often used barrel roof tile, one of the most ubiquitous symbols of the Mediterranean Revival style. When he couldn’t source the tiles, he fabricated his own at Mizner Industries using a clay composed of local sandy soil. These tiles are ideal for South Florida, as their shape facilitates circulation and allows rainfall to run off.

tree, which is exclusive to the wetlands of the Southeast. The distinctive small holes in the wood are caused by a fungus and are what make it “pecky.” This rare natural design only occurs in older trees and can’t be assessed until the tree has fallen. In this photo of Bienestar (a landmarked home by Marion Sims Wyeth), the loggia is topped with a pecky cypress ceiling and beams.

2. BIENESTAR, 1924 Pecky cypress comes from the bald cypress

3. MIZNER MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN, 1929 Florida keystone, also known as quarry

keystone, is a type of limestone found in the Florida Keys that contains coral from the Pleistocene era. It can be used in a variety of ways, including resplendent sculpted forms.

The Mizner Memorial Fountain exists today thanks to restoration efforts that fortified the fountain with a mixture of keystone and cement aggregate.

Marie Penny is the consulting director of archives for the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach.

YOUR BEST SELF: FITNESS, NUTRITION, MINDFULNESS, WELL-BEING

Transformational life coach Carolina Panoff believes that dance, movement, and music can inspire individuals to connect with themselves and those around them.

With that in mind, she established Be You Disco, aiming to help people break down their walls, shed their armor, and celebrate themselves in an innovative way. Participants are provided with their own headphones, through which they hear music and a facilitator who merges that music with mindfulness guidance to help everyone arrive at a meditative state.

“We live in a society that only values the ‘good’ emotions, [like] happiness, gratitude, love, and compassion,” says Panoff. “The human experience is not always sunshine and rainbows. Be You Disco is an outlet where you get to embrace yourself fully by expressing all of your emotions through movement.”

In addition to private parties and corporate team-building events, the company hosts monthly gatherings on Singer Island Beach.

Played on tables anywhere from community rec centers to the poshest of living rooms, mahjong has evolved from an ancient diversion to a trending obsession. I am a recent addition to the burgeoning fan club thanks to lessons with local mahjong maven Gillian Kennedy Wright.

However, she became intrigued by bams, cracks, and dots (the suits of mahjong) after subbing in the next week.

In 2019, Wright resigned from her job with the city to focus on her art and mahjong instruction. Now, she teaches students, like our little crew of West Palm Beach mamas, in their homes, in addition to public group classes at local recreation centers. She brings all the necessary supplies and institutes certain rules (no cell phones, no side conversations, and no alcohol) to ensure focus during the two-hour lesson. She notes that mahjong is more than just a pastime: it can help you to sharpen your mental acuity and is also a fun way to connect with loved ones.

“There’s a certain level of comfort when you have mastered and can play the game,” says Wright. “Then, just like life, this allows you to live one moment at a time. You learn to laugh at yourself, it calms your spirit, and you tend to forget the worries of the world and just enjoy the game in the company of friends.” (561-236-5101)

NAILED IT After losing her father to suicide, South Florida native Nina Massinello experienced depression for the first time in her life. Massinello’s personal self-care and healing journey ultimately brought her out of grieving and led her to create The Mani Co., a beauty and self-care brand dedicated to “strengthening mental health, one manicure at a time.”

Each of the brand’s UV-free, gel-like nail polish colors features a positive affirmation or mantra intended for manifesting abundance and positivity. Massinello’s three-step process combines color therapy with empowering statements. First, start with a clear base of Set Your Intention. Then, apply two to three coats of the mantra/positive affirmation color of your choice. As your nails dry between layers, take that time to still your mind and focus on positive manifestations. Finally, seal your manicure with the Gratitude top coat.

“Our method teaches and reminds that there is power right at the tips of your fingers,” says Massinello. “The practice of manifestation can help you achieve your greatest dreams, overcome struggles, and manifest the life you want. With practice, my technique helped me channel one of my darkest moments into something beautiful that I can share with others and honor my father and family at the same time.” (themanico.com) —L.G.S.

A NEW LEASE on Life After his first child was born, Dugal Bain-Kim found himself slipping into bad habits and not feeling as great as he used to. He wanted to prioritize his health, but the tactics that previously worked for him now fell short. After researching longevity and health optimization, Bain-Kim realized that, thanks to advances in medical science and technology, he didn’t have to put up with feeling average. Eventually, his pursuits lead him to establish Lifeforce, a health care optimiza-

Lifeforce members receive regular in-home diagnostic blood tests that measure more than 40 biomarkers vital to physical, cognitive, sexual, and psychological performance. A team of physicians interprets the results to create a personalized, goal-specific program of lifestyle adjustments, nutraceuticals, and hormone and peptide therapies.

“We built Lifeforce to empower people who want to know what’s happening in their bodies and have the peace of mind that they are functioning at their best now and are on track for a long life in the future,” says Bain-Kim. (lifeforce.com) —L.G.S.

WHAT ATTRACTS PATIENTS TO SEEK OUT DENTAL HEALING ARTS OVER OTHER DENTAL PRACTICES IN SOUTH FLORIDA?

Our office in Jupiter, Dental Healing Arts, is fortunate to treat patients that are both local and those who fly in from out of state. It is the only biological dental office to offer services by both a cosmetic dentist and a board-certified periodontist.

Our therapeutic goal is to find the root cause of the symptom that may harm your immune and nervous system, thus compromising overall health.

CANDY CRUSH Tracy and Dean Ernst are proving that candy can be appreciated for more than its sweet taste. At Wellington-based Essential Candy, the Ernsts offer organic hard candies infused with essential oils and plant botanicals to promote health and well-being. Here, Tracy Ernst shares insight into the company’s origins and more. (essentialcandy.com) —L.G.S. PBI: What led to the creation of Essential Candy?

Ernst: On a bike ride in 2018, I was wrestling with the wind and almost felt like giving up. But all I could think about was my friend who was bravely fighting cancer for the fourth time and having a difficult journey. His courage and unwavering strength in the face of illness deeply moved and inspired me to do something. I started asking myself, “How can I actually make a difference? How can I help my friend feel better despite the hardships of chemotherapy?”

A moment of clarity emerged: “Why not create candies infused with essential oils?” I started making hard candies designed to bring comfort to my friend’s cancer fight and the side effects of chemotherapy. I saw the direct and positive impact the candies had on my friend’s well-being. This was the beginning of what would soon be known as “candy with a purpose.”

What makes your products unique?

Essential Candy’s products stand out for their distinct fusion of two elements: organic essential oils and organic plant botanicals blended

with delicious and purposeful flavors. … Our collection comprises 10 distinct blends, designed to provide targeted assistance and address a range of needs, encompassing digestive issues, allergies, inflammation, immune support, energy, enhanced focus, sleep-related concerns, stress management, mood balance, and congestion and sinus discomfort. Every candy is free from GMOs, gluten, animal products, soy, dairy, artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, and preservatives.

Why was it important that your products help in the fight against cancer?

This commitment is rooted in a personal connection and a desire to make a meaningful impact on individuals facing this formidable challenge. Some of our hard candy blends are crafted with purpose to alleviate distressing symptoms experienced by cancer patients, such as nausea, discomfort, neuropathy, and altered taste perception. We have also implemented an initiative: for every bag of our products purchased, we donate one bag to someone navigating the challenges of cancer and its treatments.

SHAKE UP YOUR HYDRATION ROUTINE WITH THESE BEVERAGES AND MORE

BY LIZA GRANT SMITH

CELEB-BACKED ADAPTOGEN DRINKS While adaptogens have traditionally been offered as capsules or in powder form, they’re now becoming a popular ingredient in nonalcoholic beverages, some of which are backed by big-name celebrities. As the global functional drink market has grown into the billions in recent years, consumer awareness of adaptogens (defined as plants and mushrooms that help the body respond to stress, anxiety, and fatigue) has similarly skyrocketed. Here are two drinks to try now.

The Drink: De Soi The Celeb: Pop star Katy Perry The Deets: Billed as a drink that “can take you from long nights to early mornings,” De Soi’s nonalcoholic aperitifs are made with natural adaptogen ingredients, are gluten free, and do not include any artificial colors or flavors.

The Flavors: Golden Hour, with lemon balm and L-theanine to promote focus; Champignon Dreams, with relaxing reishi mushroom and passionflower; Purple Lune, with cherry and ashwagandha to combat fatigue; and Très Rosé, a nonalcoholic alternative with lion’s mane and saffron. (drinkdesoi.com)

THE THREE-DRINK THEORY Creator Sophia Wilson Pelton originated the three-drink theory with the hypothesis that “the height of luxury is drinking three liquids at once: one for fun, one for hydration, and then one for energy.” In a TikTok video, Wilson Pelton offered many potential trios—Spindrift, water, matcha, for example—but they all upheld the ethos of “caffeinate, alleviate, hydrate.” What would be the South Florida equivalent? We recommend green juice, coconut water, café con leche.

The Drink: Kin Euphorics The Celeb: Supermodel Bella Hadid The Deets: In addition to adaptogens for stress management, Kin Euphorics’ beverages feature nootropics to support cognition and botanics to elevate taste.

The Flavors: Actual Sunshine, an immunity and beauty booster; Kin Spritz, an invigorating energizer; Kin Bloom, for heart-opening joy; and Lightwave, for inner peace. (kineuphorics.com)

YERBA MATE With roots in Latin and South America, yerba mate (or just mate) is an herbal tea derived from the yerba mate plant.

Mate is an energy booster, with an estimated 70 to 80 milligrams of caffeine per cup.

Some studies have also found that mate may have a positive impact on cholesterol, weight loss, and heart health, according to the Mayo Clinic. Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory effects are purported to aid in muscle recovery and rehabilitation after exercise, making it a popular drink among athletes; Inter Miami CF’s own Lionel Messi is a well-documented fan. Brands such as Guayakí sell it in its loose-leaf form as well as within canned beverages. (guayaki.com)

GOOD NATURE

FULL CIRCLE THE GIVE-AND-TAKE OF RELATIONSHIPS STARTS FROM WITHIN

BY TAMMY FENDER

Over the years, my garden has informed my perspective on how to create lasting relationships and savor the beauty of the moment. For instance, I always plant lavender and marigold next to my kitchen herbs to deter chewing insects from damaging their delicate—and delicious—leaves.

I rely on chamomile to attract pollinators, increasing the abundance of anything planted nearby. On a wider scale, I love to think about the way plants like calendula and alfalfa restore soil health by absorbing certain environmental impurities and increasing valuable nitrogen stores.

These cyclical relationships exemplify what I like to bring to my own relationships, whether with family, friends, clients, or neighbors. After all, forming enriching connections relies on some of the same principles of carving out a special place and a nurturing environment in which to spend time with those you love.

Being the kind of person who can turn any gathering into a special occasion is a real art, and I’m sure that, on a fundamental level, the world’s best hosts would agree that spin178

ning that magic starts with intention. For me, that means showing up when I’m grounded and present. As I’ve come to realize, I nourish others best when I feel deeply nourished myself. It’s a daily practice of weaving my awareness of others into my self-care routine, acknowledging that what I do to take care of myself also has a flow-on effect, benefiting the lives of those around me.

Taking the time to prepare to meet others, without rushing, can be a key part of enjoying that togetherness.

To that end, walking on Palm Beach’s Lake Trail and moving in nature is a great way to prepare for any

event, as is working with an essential oil like sandalwood, which is so warming and grounding. Try pressing a drop onto the soles of your feet (where it is easily absorbed) or into pressure points around the face and head. You don’t need to be an expert in reflexology to reap the benefits; simply apply pressure to any point that feels good to activate an unseen network of support.

Just like with plants, these practices will help nourish you at your roots and enable you to share your glowing abundance with others. «

Cyclical relationships and practices carry importance throughout personal interactions as well as with those found in the natural world.

ASK AGAIN LATER

GIVEN THE CURRENT ECONOMIC INSTABILITY, PREDICTING WHERE AND HOW TO INVEST HAS BECOME HAZY

BY SHELDON ZOLDAN

I

nterest rates haven’t just increased over the past 20 months—they’ve been strapped to a rocket. Since March 2022, the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) upper bound rate for loaning money has gone from .25 percent to 5.5 percent. This warp speed is the result of the Fed’s attempt to tamp

down the worst inflation since the 1980s.

However, the quick jump has made it more difficult for investors to know how to invest their money.

“Because we’re seeing interest rates rising at historical speed, probably at least half [of investors] haven’t worked through this problem before,” says Scott Pearson, who teaches finance at Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach. He adds that investors need to ask themselves two questions: why are interest rates rising? And, what is going to happen in the future?

If interest rates are rising because the economy is strong and the Fed is trying to remove excess capital from the market, that’s an encouraging sign, Pearson ex-

plains. It indicates that growth stocks are a good investment. But that is not the case today, when the Fed is raising rates to slow inflation. “Then we have to take a step back and say, ‘What do we do in an inflationary environment?’” he notes. “If you’re dealing with high inflation, you want to invest in gold or in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities or other inflation hedges.”

Health care stocks and consumer noncyclicals are good equities to buy when interest rates jump, says Steven Perfect, associate professor of finance at Florida State University in Tallahassee and advisor for the student investment fund. He adds some commodities and interest-bearing cash accounts to the list.

Real estate, such as investing in rentals, is good protection against inflation, Pearson says, but it’s difficult to invest in this sector if

BALANCE you need to borrow money, given the higher interest rates and banks becoming more selective with their loans. Furthermore, Pearson is not a fan of investing in bonds, particularly in inflationary periods. “Bonds are terrible to be in, especially long-term bonds when rising rates are dominant,” he explains, adding that while some bonds are needed in a balanced portfolio, they should be short-term securities.

When interest rates are rising, Pearson also advises to avoid investing in companies that rely on borrowed cash. This is especially true with startups. “It’s too late to invest in speculative companies,” he says. “It’s not a place that’s going to be attractive anytime soon.”

Index funds are another sector to avoid, Pearson adds, given the volatility of the market. Mutual funds, he warns, need an active manager.

And while Pearson used to try to forecast two years into the future, that is becoming

more difficult to do. “I used to do fairly well at that because the markets were fairly stable,” he says. “In recent years, I find myself having a hard time seeing beyond six months.”

Many economists believe that July’s interest rate hike will be the last—and the upcoming election cycle could buttress that prediction. Historically, the Fed stops increasing rates as a presidential election ap-

proaches, no matter which party is in the White House, Pearson says.

An end to interest rate hikes doesn’t mean an end to inflation, nor does it forestall a recession. There’s a lag time for interest rates to work to slow down the economy, Perfect explains. While the Fed has decreased its projections that a recession will occur in 2023, a number of factors could still push the needle on this over the next 12 months.

However, investors don’t need to make major overhauls to their portfolios, Perfect says, but if they haven’t already, they should reduce their exposure to cyclical stocks such as automakers and large household appliance manufacturers. Instead, they should turn to consumer staples that people need no matter how good or bad the economy is, such as food products and health care. «

CULTURE

French Florals The splendor of France’s flora will be on view in “Isabelle de Ganay,” an exhibition of the renowned French impressionist and en plein air painter’s works at Findlay Galleries on Palm Beach. Regarded as one of the preeminent plein air painters of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, de Ganay has honed her craft by painting outside in all conditions. This practice has enabled her to fully study and embody the dynamism of the natural world, from changes in the atmosphere to fluctuations in light.

What results are whimsical, masterful, colorful captures of ephemeral moments. The exhibition is on view November 25 to December 14. (findlaygalleries.com) —A.D.

Runway of

Champions

Presented by the Doyle Family Foundation benefiting Place of Hope

MEET OUR Chaired by Emily Pantelides

Runway of Hope is an 8-week FUN peer-to-peer challenge bringing together fashion and philanthropy!

From September 13 through November 8, our “Champions for Children” will compete in a spirited fundraising campaign in which they set out to raise as much money and friends as they can for Place of Hope.

The challenge will culminate at Saks 5th Ave in Palm Beach Gardens for a private evening celebration with a “Best of Saks” runway show featuring designer looks from “Cinq a Sept.”

Place of Hope is focused on providing programs and services to end the cycles of abuse, neglect, homelessness, poverty, and human trafficking.

Over 30,000 foster children, homeless youth, single moms with dependent children, and human trafficking survivors have been served. It is rated number one in its category in America by Charity Navigator with a charity score of 100 and a 4 star rating.

REAL TALK WITH...

Christina Coniglio

The Palm Beach–based designer reflects upon life on the island and her new namesake brand

BY KATHERINE LANDE

What is your mission behind launching Coniglio Palm Beach?

The first test capsule I have designed is all about simplicity and ease. Most styles are a one-size-fits-most strategy, with the emphasis on flexibility within wear. Using this ethos, I can create styles that are designed with purpose—they have a long breath within your closet, can complement life’s changes, and adapt along with you.

What makes this brand unique in the market?

It represents a creative perspective on a product, versus product first and creativity second. At the heart of all of this and as a trained designer, I want to invite people to give live feedback to me while I perfect and hone in on fit, con-

Where do you draw your biggest inspirations from?

I am really inspired by what my siblings do and how they live.

Authenticity of the Palm Beach lifestyle is very important to me as this all evolves. My focus is to story tell and reference back to the history and originality that was old Palm Beach. So much has been lost over the years, and the goal of my brand is to have a nostalgic reference within the designs that the community can celebrate.

Tell us about your new studio concept space.

The concept is to immerse with the customer, to work and refine the product in all aspects while gaining direct feedback [from] the community. I plan to sketch and drape from the studio while inviting shoppers into the store for fittings and conversations on the process. It’s a space for me to be creative and for the community to join in on that creativity.

What did you love most about growing up on the island?

Ah, I loved it all. Palm Beach was and still is so magical, but I really want to emphasize that barefoot and free energy that I feel is getting lost. I think a lot of what’s going on now has become so formal, so serious. We grew up just running around and zipping from Greens to P.B. Boys Club to Hamburger Heaven to Flagpole Beach. It was just this silly, happy, tropical life.

I want to represent that fully and refocus the island.
