Innholdsfortegnelse for March 2015 i Palm Beach Illustrated

Each year, it is our privilege to help numerous charities throughout our area. This season, we began assisting a few more nonprofits and, like all charities, they have compelling needs. For the first time, Palm Beach Illustrated will sponsor the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County’s thirty-fourth annual gala at The Breakers on March 13. This elegant black-tie affair, formerly known as The Winter Ball, is the longest-running event in the chapter’s history. We will also once again sponsor the Center for Family Services’ Old Bags Luncheon, being held at The Breakers on March 5. This year’s guest speaker will be Joan Collins, who will talk about her audition for Cleopatra, her experiences working with some of Hollywood’s best stars and, of course, her notorious relationships over the…

March 20 is the first day of spring, and perhaps no image better represents the season of renewal than a butterfly emerging from a cocoon. The number of butterflies in Palm Beach County has risen since 2012, according to the South Florida chapter of the North American Butterfly Association—thanks in large part to butterfly gardening. Butterfly gardening requires two types of plants: a host, on which butterflies can lay their eggs, and a nectar plant for food. Our chart (right) outlines host plants that nourish common caterpillars. Cultivate these, along with firebush for nectar once they become butterflies, and your garden will be full of fluttering creatures. BUTTERFLY HABITATS: Mounts Botanical Garden and Okeeheelee Nature Center in West Palm Beach; Robert J. Huckshorn Arboretum in Jupiter; Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee…

MAJOLICA VIVID AND WHIMSICAL Once the stuff of common folk in Victorian England, the dynamic tin glazed earthenware known as majolica is now considered high society because of collector demand. Colorful decorations—which often include fruit, vegetables, birds, seashells and images popular in the Renaissance, such as lions, mythological beasts and rams—breathe life into these pieces. OUR ANTIQUE ROW PICK: Nineteenth-century majolica pitcher with shell and seaweed pattern, $450. Regency Antiques and Home (561-358-9878, regencyantiquesandhome.com) BRITISH COLONIAL WORLDLY AND CHARMING During the British Empire, families returning home after being stationed in the tropics and in Asian countries brought items they had acquired, including wicker, bamboo, Chinese porcelain and rugs. The unlikely marriage of these exotic pieces with their traditional elements created the British Colonial style. OUR ANTIQUE ROW PICK: English bamboo…

Bali. The name alone evokes tranquility, wanderlust, excitement and romantic visions of an exotic land blessed with eternal natural beauty and time-honored culture. Rising between the Indian Ocean and the Bali Sea, the island in the heart of the Indonesian archipelago has evolved as a global hotspot for sun-drenched bliss and cultural tourism—a honeymoon destination, a bucket-list vacation, a must-see on the Southeast Asia tourist trail. But unlike the untouched Bali of the 1970s, when tourism commenced along its densely forested volcanic beaches, today’s Bali is a dichotomous world. For village elders, the island is hardly recognizable in its highly globalized southernmost reaches. This area, unofficially dubbed “New Bali,” consists of the southern mainland and a small peninsula housing populated and touristy regions like Nusa Dua, Legian and Seminyak. It…

Composed of tropical wetlands, rivers of endless grass and an array of diverse— and occasionally dangerous—wildlife, the Everglades is one of Florida’s greatest treasures. This elusive ecosystem, which stretches from Orlando to the Florida Bay, is the inspiration behind the Norton Museum of Art’s newest exhibition, “Imaging Eden: Photographers Discover the Everglades.” On display beginning March 19, “Imaging Eden” includes commissioned works by contemporary artists, who were tasked with discovering their own interpretations of the Everglades through a camera lens.

We’ve always known the Palm Beach area has its share of beautiful women, but we didn’t know just how deep that beauty ran until we asked our readers. In November of last year, we issued a call for nominations for our annual feature, “Palm Beach Beauties.” We were looking for women who are beautiful in every way, from their strong sense of personal style to their formidable leadership abilities and from their courage to their compassion. We were overwhelmed by the response—and were faced with the unenviable task of short-listing the candidates, all of whom were worthy of the honor. To give every nominee a level playing field, we asked our readers to vote for the women they believed personified the concept of beauty. After tallying thousands of votes, we…

A cross a long table of shimmering candles, chiming silverware and smartly dressed guests, Susan Miller locked eyes with her husband, Lloyd, sitting at the opposite end. They exchanged a brief smile, then turned away to carry on conversations with their respective neighbors. The moment was an unspoken agreement of satisfaction for successfully hosting a renowned dinner party that comes with high expectations—and life-changing results. In November, the Millers participated for the first time in the Ultimate Dinner Party, an annual charity event benefiting the Children’s Home Society of Florida. Guests gather at a private home in Palm Beach for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, then disperse to separate residences for a gourmet meal prepared by American Culinary Federation chefs. Now in its twenty-second year, the evening relies on the generosity…

Ask any 5-year-old: Bitter stuff doesn’t taste good. Despite that, many adults develop a taste for bitter substances, particularly beverages. The passion for bitter flavors runs contrary to our physiology. Bitterness receptors on human tongues function as an early warning system to alert us that we might be about to consume something toxic or poisonous. Yet cultures in Europe, South America and, increasingly, the United States play host to a cult of bitter-libation sippers. The universe of liquid bitters is divided into two categories: potable (liqueurs drinkable on their own) and non-potable (intensely flavored and meant as an additive). The most famous potable bitter is probably Campari, which is marketed as the sexiest beverage on Earth. Invented in 1860 by Gaspare Campari, the secret formula contains dozens of herbs, spices,…

No drink says spring better than a Pimm’s: It conjures images of brilliant sunlit days, races at Ascot and the good life in all its forms. James Pimm, the nineteenth-century proprietor of a London oyster house, served his gin-based libation in a tankard known as a No. 1 Cup. The name stuck, and Pimm’s No. 1 has endured for nearly 200 years. According to most experts, the bottled version of Pimm’s No. 1 only becomes a Pimm’s Cup when other ingredients are added—usually soda (ginger ale, club soda, Sprite or tonic) and fruit (usually slices of lemon, lime or orange). Here’s a quick and easy version to charm guests at your next garden party. —M.S Pimm’s Cup One part Pimms No. 1 Two parts lemonade Cucumber spears, mint leaves, orange…

William R. Eubanks of William R. Eubanks Interior Design channeled eighteenth-century France for this luxurious, and historically accurate, Palm Beach bedroom. “Because we do a lot of period design, we’ve truly made a study over the years of period detail to make sure that if we are pursuing an eighteenth-century boiserie room, it’s correct,” Eubanks says. By incorporating historic details, like the boiserie paneling and antique furniture, with a modern color palette and period-relevant items, Eubanks was able to pay homage to the past while making the old seem new again. High ceilings lend the perfect setting for the canopied bed, the centerpiece of this master bedroom. The silk drapery, all of which was created in Eubanks’ private workrooms, is reminiscent of hand-loomed fabrics of the past and features an…
