Innholdsfortegnelse for July - August 2015 i Palm Beach Illustrated

Even if you live in paradise, in the thick of summer heat and languor a change of scenery seems de rigueur. We are aware that, right about now, most people are itching for an escape, whether it’s to the ends of the earth or a few miles from home. For this reason, we present “Road Trip,” our annual roundup of fabulous destinations within driving distance. It took six staff members six months and about 6,000 miles to complete the research for this 14-page package, but we believe it was time and energy well spent. In the process of discovering the best spots to recommend to our readers, we came across some truly special experiences, including an aerial adventure course in the Georgia mountains, swimming with endangered manatees, fossil expeditions for…

We might never be royals, but now we can pretend to be thanks to Christofle’s new collection of crowns. The celebrated silver company partnered with interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard to create Silver Kingdom, a line inspired by the original design of French crown jewels. Bullard’s modern interpretation is realized in two creations: a limited-edition sterling silver crown that is customizable with embellishments and stones like onyx and a silver-plated crown with gold accents. Both honor Christofle’s legacy as silversmith to France’s King Louis-Philippe, making them the perfect pieces to acquire in time for Bastille Day on July 14—just make sure you don’t lose your head. Christofle, Palm Beach (561-833-1978, us.christofle.com) love LULA Lake Worth, the charming, centenarian city between West Palm and Boynton Beach, has been experiencing a renaissance…

Imagine living in a community where the world is at your fingertips. Where restaurants, retail stores, night life, fitness and nature trails are a short walk away; where friends are neighbors and neighbors are friends and where the tradition of a connected community is alive and well. Imagine a one-stop destination of healthy living, innovation, entertainment and a community enriched in connectivity ... now picture yourself there. Led by the vision of Kolter Homes, the home building division of The Kolter Group in Palm Beach County, this re-imagined idea of a new home community is today becoming a reality. In Fall 2015, Palm Beach Gardens will welcome a new community that up until now has not been equalled: ALTON. Located between Donald Ross Road and Hood Road, east of I-95.…

A NEW HOPE LOOK AT THIS In Boca Raton, Dr. Marc Kantorow is leading a study at Florida Atlantic University’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine that could treat a type of vision loss that worsens as we age. Supported by scientists based at FAU and beyond, Kantorow hopes to engineer transplantable ocular tissues that will restore retinal function. These findings could have medical implications far beyond the eyeball, but Kantorow’s focus is the retina and age-related macular degeneration, or AMD, which accounts for the majority of untreatable blindness in the United States. There is no effective treatment for the most common form of the condition, known as dry AMD. To address this, Kantorow’s team is looking into how stem cells could be transformed into other cells to replace damaged…

One of the privileges of living in South Florida is the sweeping ocean view. Most people think in terms of the sunrise or sunset, but the moonrise is spectacular in its own right. In our opinion, there is no better place to watch the silver orb rise above the horizon line than Brandon’s by the Beach. The oceanfront, indoor/outdoor restaurant at the Tideline Resort sits just above the sand dunes and has an unimpeded view of the water. The vibe is very South Beach, especially at night, when colorful light balls grace the tables and the energy is high. Grab a seat at the outdoor lounge and order some sushi, or claim a table at the edge of the terrace, and wait for the lunar show to unfold. The next…

For several decades, asking for a glass of Chablis was practically a reflex among American wine drinkers. What they received usually wasn’t Chablis at all but an off-dry Chenin Blanc or Colombard blend dispensed from a 3-liter jug. This wine experience did nothing to enhance the reputation of one of France’s greatest white wines. Real Chablis comes from the region of the same name, located east of Auxerre in northern Burgundy. The grape is solely Chardonnay, but the resulting wine is different from the California version. The French climate is much cooler, allowing the grapes to retain more acidity; the soil has more mineral content, giving the wine a flinty flavor profile; and, most important, oak is used sparingly or not at all in the winemaking process. Even though the…

Farmers’ markets are sprouting up throughout South Florida, having grown in popularity thanks to their emphasis on local goods, support of small businesses, and positive environmental impact. In April, the new Whole Foods Market in West Palm Beach augmented this budding scene by introducing its own farmers’ market. The market, held in the store’s parking lot, is open every Tuesday evening beginning at 4 p.m. and includes an average of 40 vendors selling everything from local produce to artisan honey and all the foodie delights in between. “Our customers are farmers’ market customers,” says Brenna Bertram, the store’s marketing team leader. “Supporting these local farmers and artisan producers helps us to connect with the local community.” Typical offerings include handcrafted soaps and bath products, fresh and pickled vegetables, and many…

The Yearling, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Rawlings wrote her 1938, Pulitzer Prize–winning The Yearling in her Cross Creek cottage, located between Ocala and Gainesville. Suitable for all ages, the novel is about a young boy and his pet deer and is a reflection on nature and coming of age in 1800s Florida.

LEMON COLLINS Whether the Tom Collins was named for the political activist who died in the 1798 Irish Rebellion or after its main ingredient, Old Tom gin, there’s one thing we’re absolutely certain about: It’s the perfect cocktail on a hot summer afternoon. The visionary bar staff at Pistache French Bistro in West Palm Beach felt it was time to put a little spin on the vintage libation, which is essentially a gin sour topped with club soda. “Our clientele loves the classic cocktails,” says bar manager Kyle O’Connor, “and they respond very well to variations on those drinks.” O’Connor and beverage manager Greg Riggs picked Nolet’s Silver gin as the base, then added simple syrup and St. Germain for an extra touch of sweetness. The liqueur’s pear notes give…

Whether it is lavender, vanilla, or even roasted coffee beans, everyone has a favorite smell. But not all scents are created equal; some have the innate ability to affect emotions and well-being. Aromatherapy, as defined by the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy, is the art and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance, harmonize, and promote the health of body, mind, and spirit. Scents are concentrated in the form of essential oils, which can be enjoyed on their own or in combination with one another. In Palm Beach County, you can purchase vials of essential oils at Perfect Oil in Wellington and Boca Raton. If you want to create your own fragrance, then visit Natures Symphony in Boca Raton on July 13 for a perfume-blending lecture…

When Boca Raton resident Andrea Rogers founded Xtend Barre in 2009, her innovative workout routine quickly took off, and today it’s taught at 170 studios worldwide.

In May, Rogers opened a 3,200-square-foot flagship facility in Boca Raton that features two fitness studios and hosts more than 70 classes per week, ranging from the traditional 55-minute Xtend Barre workout to newer offerings like Circuit 7, Xtend Suspend, and Fit Ball.

DANIEL KAPP, MD Plastic Surgery WHAT ARE THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS/INNOVATIONS IN YOUR FIELD? Plastic surgery is constantly evolving. We are employing advanced fat-grafting techniques and new volumizing fillers to treat facial aging. These techniques can give nearly instant improvement. Also, the number of men having plastic surgery continues to rise. Feeling comfortable in one’s own skin doesn’t just apply to women anymore; helping men achieve a more positive self-image is a powerful tool. WHAT DIFFERENTIATES YOUR PRACTICE FROM OTHER SPECIALISTS IN THE FIELD? I have an artistic eye and a perfectionist mindset. But what really distinguishes my practice is the time I spend truly learning and understanding my patients’ needs and desires. Every patient is different, and taking the time to learn these differences helps me to provide my patients…

Through September 6, the Vero Beach Museum of Art makes a splash with the exhibition “James Prosek: Ocean Fishes.” An artist and naturalist, Prosek prefers painting his saltwater subjects in their natural habitats and travels to the Treasure Coast to capture the vibrant hues and intense details of Florida’s indigenous fish, including snook, cobia, and pompano, in real time. Prosek describes his work as “self-portraits” and often incorporates a personal connection to his subjects, like his own reflection in a fish’s eye. (772-231-0707, verobeach museum.org)…

Mercedes-Benz has a vision of the self-driving car of the future. And it’s all about luxury. It could be an extra from a sci-fi blockbuster. Harrison Ford behind the wheel in Blade Runner. Tom Cruise reclining in the back seat in Minority Report. What you’re looking at is the F 015 Luxury in Motion, Mercedes-Benz’s vision of the self-driving, super-luxury car of the future. Strange name, exciting concept. Unveiled at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, it was built to showcase how the car is growing beyond its role as mere transportation and into what Mercedes describes as a “private retreating space.” Here, four occupants can relax in huge, almost retro-looking white leather armchairs that swivel to allow face-to-face interaction— just as in that pen and ink illustration…

LET THERE BE LIGHT Designer Sara McCann of the McCann Design Group indulged in a little lime aid to enliven a depressed space in this Palm Beach home. “Green is my favorite color, so this lime and mint palette (with lots of white, of course) was a natural choice to brighten this bedroom that was originally one of the darkest in the house,” she says. The Roman shades, hung higher than the window, give the illusion of height while the geometric wallpaper makes the space feel fresh and happy. “I can always depend on the color green to deliver an effect that is crisp and clean,” she says.

1 Avoid Deep Vein Thrombosis There’s much discussion surrounding the increased risk of leg clots, or deep vein thrombosis, when flying. According to a study by the World Health Organization, the risk for developing DVT doubles after a flight that exceeds four hours. To counteract this, plan on wearing loose clothing. When flying, move about frequently, drink plenty of water, and contract your calf muscles with heel raises or by tapping your toes. 2 Protect Your Immune System Traveling in any sort of close quarters with many people comes with an increased risk of catching an airborne illness, especially a cold. Boost your immune system by loading up on vitamin C before your flight. Other preventative steps include avoiding sugary foods and drinks and bringing Protect Your Immune System Traveling…
