In the 17 years I’ve served as editor in chief of this magazine, Palm Beachers have grown accustomed to my texts and emails starting with “I have a crazy idea…” Depending on the month and the mood, that could be anything from hosting Thanksgiving dinner in August to wearing gowns made completely of flowers to shooting an ensemble at midnight so we could get the light right. We do like to keep things lively. This month’s crazy idea, which was birthed during an editorial summit (I swear there was no alcohol involved), revolved around the concept of digital fashion. A few designers are creating NFT collections, some more outrageous than others, featuring clothing that’s available only in the metaverse and can be purchased with various forms of cryptocurrency on OpenSea.…

When women band together, they are unstoppable, and the Zonta Club of Boca Raton proves just that. A chapter of Zonta International, the Zonta Club of Boca Raton was chartered in 1975 and upholds a mission to “build a better world for women.” It accomplishes this by empowering women and girls through advocacy and community service as well as working to spread awareness of issues affecting the advancement of women in our community. The club has financially supported local nonprofits such as Boca Helping Hands, the Human Trafficking Coalition of the Palm Beaches, and the Not Just Me Foundation, which helps sexual assault survivors. Members also award two annual scholarships to benefit women seeking higher education, and the club has an ongoing endowment scholarship at Palm Beach State College to…

The COVID drama of 2020 was destined to go down in history and make for some memorable stories someday. Palm Beach resident Deborah Goodrich Royce is already on it: Her new novel, Reef Road, was published in January and is set in Palm Beach during the lockdown. Inspired by a real-world crime, the novel unfolds in two separate fictional narratives that twist together, linking a brutal murder in 1948 Pittsburgh with a man’s severed hand washing up on the shores of Palm Beach in 2020. Royce began working on the novel while quarantining in Palm Beach during the early months of the pandemic. “Those long days alternated between writing at my desk, which overlooks the lake, and traveling the strangely empty island by bicycle,” she says. “It was in my…

For most of us, our homes are our sanctuaries, a space where we feel safest and most comfortable. We take pride in decorating and keeping them clean and tidy, but what we might not realize is that the typical home’s air quality may be up to five times more polluted than the air outdoors, according to studies conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Considering that the average American spends roughly 90 percent of their time inside, taking a good look at what affects our indoor air quality can have a huge impact on our health and well-being. Ironically, what we use to clean our homes are often top culprits. Ever notice yourself holding your breath as you spray an oven or counter cleaner because it irritates your eyes or…

Hinckley Yachts Picnic 40 S SilentJet What happens when you combine Down East lobster boat lines with the latest in hybrid diesel-electric power? You get Hinckley Yachts’ brand-new Picnic 40 S SilentJet.

The Japanese term “omakase” translates to “I leave it up to you,” and it’s a culinary experience that has soared in popularity in recent years. At Taki Omakase in Delray Beach and Boca Raton, patrons dine at a 12-seat counter and allow the chefs to determine their order, resulting in multicourse meals of sushi, nigiri, Wagyu, and other delights. “Taki selects the freshest ingredients directly from the Toyosu Fish Market in Tokyo to ensure the highest quality,” says manager Chloe Stunda. “Professional chefs craft delicious courses for each diner, guiding their palate through the rich flavors of Japan.” Taki employees also pair the dishes with Japanese sake, beer, and continental wine. Here, Stunda spotlights a few unique sake pairings. (takiomakase.com) The Dish: A5 Wagyu with shaved foie gras and truffle purée…

1 A WALL MURAL Murals create an instant focal point in a space. While wallpaper continues to trend, murals present an opportunity to go bigger and bolder. They can depict everything from florals and botanicals to landscapes and exotic environs, meaning they’re an easy and elegant way to bring the outdoors in. In contrast to traditional wallpaper, which offers a seamlessly repeating print, wall murals contain scenes in panels. Adhesion methods, finishes, and sizes vary, so be sure to do your research to ensure you select the best option for your desired result. Visit the West Palm Beach wallpaper showroom of Chelsea Lane and Company to peruse an extensive library of wallpaper murals, including those from Naples-based company Daisy Bennett Designs.

Also ending a residency at The Colony this month is renowned skin care expert Dr. Barbara Sturm. Here, Sturm discusses her philosophy and what makes both her products and full menu of facials available at The Colony so effective. (drsturm.com) PBI: What makes your approach to skin care unique? Sturm: My approach is healing and repairing the skin, staying away from aggressive ingredients, and respecting the skin as it is our largest organ with so many functions. My anti-inflammatory philosophy, coupled with years of research and ingredient science, is behind the efficacy of each of my products. What do you believe are the essentials of a healthy skin care regimen? My philosophy is that every skin care routine, regardless of age or gender, should be simple yet effective. It should…

It all began with matching outfits. My nana and my mother always coordinated my sister and me for childhood photos. My future trajectory as high school “Best Dressed” was set while still a toddler. By then I had the full preppy kit: Izod with flipped collar, blue Stan Smiths (long before my daughters caught on that they were cool), and a blazer for chemistry class. It was an early affliction that has stayed with me. With that background, it should come as no surprise that our March issue is one that I look forward to most. The four gentlemen profiled this month in “Palm Beach Dandies” take dressing and creativity seriously. It is always fascinating around Palm Beach to see not only what men are wearing, but how they are…

Setting Gray Malin’s iconic work in Palm Beach is a match made in photography heaven. Adding a pack of super-spoiled pooches into the mix? Even better. Old World meets New in Malin’s latest tome, Dogs of Palm Beach, a fantastical photographic journey complete with posh pups that drive vintage cars and flaunt designer brands at hot spots like The Royal Poinciana Plaza, Worth Avenue, and The Colony. Adding to the fun, Malin sourced local dogs for this project, spanning 18 breeds from a Great Dane to a long-haired dachshund. Out this month, the book is a celebration of the one-of-a-kind island we call home, where spaniels sipping Champagne on private planes and cavaliers playing croquet are real life rather than fairy tale.

When Sarah McLachlan began taking ukulele lessons at the age of 4, she had no idea that she would one day become a Grammy Award–winning musician. Now, the multiplatinum Canadian singer-songwriter is known around the world for such hits as “I Will Remember You” and “Angel.” Ahead of her performance at the Kravis Center gala March 1, PBI caught up with McLachlan to discuss how music has shaped her life and more. (kravis.org, 561-651-4320) PBI: You’ve been playing music since you were a small child. Have the benefits gone beyond music? McLachlan: Without a doubt. Music saved my life. As a teenager I struggled socially. I was insecure and didn’t have any friends. Music was a constant friend. [It was] the one thing I was good at, which gave me…

One might expect real estate exec Rick Moeser’s dream home to be sprawling and grandiose. After all, he participated in the sale of the Miami palace of fashion’s Gianni Versace and the Kluge Estate on Palm Beach. But the CEO of business development at Douglas Elliman Real Estate followed his heart—and realty savvy—to a Palm Beach condo building that was “neglected and undervalued,” yet in the perfect location right off the beach and Worth Avenue. “The building was in town and walking distance from friends, favorite restaurants, my office, my gym, and the beach,” says Moeser, who, in 2007 bought and merged the two ground-floor units totaling 1,100 square feet. “I saw the potential for a little TLC to upgrade it into an A-plus property.” That task became easier when…

Whether you’re honoring women’s rights and achievements on International Women’s Day, observing the beginning of spring, or celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, you’ll have no shortage of opportunities to toast in March. Enter the Pineapple Express. A playful riff on the Jungle Bird—a tropical negroni that debuted in the 1970s—this version is as light and vibrant as the month itself. By blending a decidedly botanical rum with juicy pineapple, a bright aperitivo, and a touch of (green!) aromatic basil, a new bird takes flight. Pineapple Express Ingredients 1 ½ oz. Pa’lante Botanical Rum¾ oz. Cocchi Americano Bianco½ oz. fresh lime juice½ oz. agave syrup1 ½ oz. basil and pineapple juice (recipe below) Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Strain into an old-fashioned glass filled with crushed ice. Basil and…

Tour art from a changing world in the Norton Museum of Art’s “At the Dawn of a New Age: Early Twentieth-Century American Modernism,” on view March 18 to July 16. Curated in large part from the American modernist collection at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the exhibition includes works created during a uniquely optimistic, progressive, and innovative time in American history. From 1900 to 1930, early modernists flourished as cities, communication, industry, and transportation boomed, and as the women’s suffrage movement shifted the status quo. What resulted were colorful, exploratory, and abstract interpretations of modern life. Featured artists include Georgia O’Keeffe, Ben Benn, Albert Bloch, Oscar Bluemner, Patrick Henry Bruce, Yun Gee, Marsden Hartley, Agnes Pelton, Henrietta Shore, Florine Stettheimer, and William Zorach. Concurrently on display…

You may love sipping wine with your sister, but not as much as Shera and Maxime Kaan-Lilly do. The Boca Raton duo recently launched a best-served-chilled blend of California Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Their Wildlilly Wine is carried at Eau Palm Beach, Cucina, Elisabetta’s, and various other local establishments. Here, the Kaan-Lilly girls discuss their vino venture. (wildlillywine.com) PBI: What made you want to start a wine company? Shera: We ask ourselves that all the time because it’s such a competitive industry. We’ve always loved drinking our reds chilled, as do our friends, so we wanted to create a quality juice that was quite literally born to chill. We were also over rosé and loathed that feeling of how it sits in the stomach. The other key inspiration is that…

If you see eight Trojan horses converging on City Hall this month, don’t be alarmed: It’s the culmination of a community engagement project from the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority and Arts & Entertainment District aimed at seeking locals’ input about their vision for the future of their city. Created under the guidance of Finnish artist and architect Marco Casagrande, Trojan Rocking Horses consists of eight life-size rocking horses designed by local children and fabricated by Alaska native Marty Ross (a former pipeline worker and welder turned international artist) at the Loxahatchee home of retired master welder Jerry Hobbs. The eight design workshop locations, from the South Florida Fairgrounds to Palm Beach Public Elementary School to Esperanza Community Center, are also the starting point for the horses’ procession downtown,…

Visiting Orlando with kids used to mean schlepping all around town to check every box: easy access to theme parks, a luxe hotel, fine dining, elevated poolside experiences, sporting activities, and all the aquatic adventures. With the recent completion of its new waterpark, Grande Lakes Orlando puts all that (and then some) in one resort destination. The 500-acre Grande Lakes encompasses The Ritz-Carlton Orlando and JW Marriott Orlando, as well as golf, tennis, a 40,000-square-foot spa, multiple pools with decked-out cabanas, and a dozen dining venues, including the Michelin-starred Knife & Spoon. But the biggest attraction is the new Grande Lakes Waterpark with six zones of fun. Here you’ll find not only a water slide, but an entire slide tower with three slides ranging from mellow to rocket-fast. Splash Cove…

RICK ROSE | The Mixmaster You can take the man out of Palm Beach, but you can’t take Palm Beach out of the man. So says Rick Rose, who spent much of two decades in sales and marketing at European hotel groups. “Travel broadened my taste,” he says. “But I’ve always been open to the brighter colors of home.” After returning in 2004, Rose co-owned and operated Grandview Gardens Bed & Breakfast in West Palm Beach for 16 years and now co-owns and runs Palm Beach Vacation Rentals. Vexed when European guests would confuse his hometown with Palm Springs, California, Rose began hosting walking tours of the island. Within his role as the historian of the Worth Avenue Association, he leads these tours every Wednesday from December through April, with…

PUMPHOUSE COFFEE ROASTERS When Alex Le Clainche first looked at a warehouse outside downtown West Palm Beach, he had visions of turning it into a CrossFit gym. But now, more than a decade later, it is the new home of Pumphouse Coffee Roasters, which Le Clainche founded in April 2016 with his brother, Christian. Known as the Pouratorium, the 8,000-square-foot space boasts a retail and café area, a roasting facility, and a lab for training, tastings, education, and special events. “This was always the dream,” Le Clainche says of the Pouratorium. “I just had anticipated instead of going into year seven, it would probably happen around year 14. That’s been a byproduct of a lot of hard work, a lot of sleepless nights.” The Le Clainches use a modernized 90-kilo…

A self-proclaimed student of Jane Fonda, Joseph Pilates, and Martha Graham, dancer and choreographer Isaac Boots created his Torch’d workout in 2008, when rehearsals for Broadway’s West Side Story left him with no time for the gym. The program infuses body-weight-resistance training and dance conditioning with a pumping soundtrack and Boots’ spirited personality. While initially a hit with fellow cast members, the Torch’d fan base quickly expanded to his celebrity training clients (including Kelly Ripa and Vanessa Hudgens) and then the world at large. The workout has proven so popular that Boots was able to raise more than $1.5 million for No Kid Hungry by offering free Torch’d workouts on Instagram Live during the pandemic and encouraging participants to donate to the cause. March marks the last month of Boots’…

You were born in Colombia and raised between Miami and London. How has your worldly upbringing influenced your designs? Aquazzura is a combination of all the cultures, cities, and experiences that have made my life. Everything I see and everywhere I travel affect my design and nurture my soul. Diana Vreeland used to say, “The eye has to travel,” and I couldn’t agree more. Aquazzura is an Italian brand with a Latin soul that keeps evolving. What does the name Aquazzura mean to you? The name Aquazzura comes from the words “acqua” and “azzurra,” which means blue water in Italian. I’ve always been in love with the sea and the sun and wanted the name of my brand to both evoke my love for Italy and to remind me of…
