Coco Chanel once said, “Dress shabbily and they remember the dress. Dress impeccably and they remember the woman.” No truer words—and so apropos in contemplating Chanel’s Spring 2018 haute couture collection of delicately embellished confections that make a woman shine. When Chanel offered us the opportunity to shoot this dreamy collection for the Palm Beach market, there could only be one answer. In the hands of photographer Danny Cardozo and fashion editor Katherine Lande, the ultra-feminine looks came to life against the edgy architectural lines of Faena Forum in Miami Beach. Turn to “La Vie en Rose” on page 42 and admire the artistry of the house that is synonymous with couture.

Few creatures are as synonymous with Florida as sea turtles. Between March and October, more than 100,000 threatened and endangered turtles (primarily loggerheads, greens, and leatherbacks) nest on Floridian beaches, with the majority of that activity occurring in June and July. Locals and visitors alike can witness this amazing process by taking part in a licensed, expert-led turtle walk through organizations such as Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach and Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton. “The main purpose of the turtle walk is to educate guests on sea turtle nesting [and] how to properly observe sea turtle nesting,” says Caroline Tapley, a science educator at Loggerhead Marinelife Center. “I’ve seen people who come back every year and do the program over and over again because it just doesn’t…
The first step to fostering a big idea is to provide a little seed money and a lot of support. That’s the motivation behind Palm Beach Philanthropy Tank, an organization that awards funding and mentorship to student-led community betterment projects. In March, the group hosted its third annual finals event wherein eight teams made their pitches in a Shark Tank–style format to four investors, who then distributed $100,000 among them. Each group received some funds as well as a mentor who will spend the next year helping them develop a business plan and strategies for success. Three teams earned the largest amount, $15,000, for their innovative ideas. PBI chatted with a member from each group to better understand their inspiration and goals.
