Innholdsfortegnelse for June 2017 i Palm Beach Illustrated

We all know to savor the moment, but in the frenetic pace of our society, it isn’t always possible. I’ll admit to rushing from one gala to the next, or double-booking cocktail parties, just to fit it all in—and I’ll bet I’m not the only one. In that flurry of activity, it’s easy to forget to notice the nuances of the social circuit: the beautifully crafted centerpieces, the epic taste of that chocolate dessert, the ovation-worthy speech of an award recipient, and even who wore what. This is why every June we present a comprehensive look back at the season. This fun yearbook, compiled after reviewing thousands of photos, has become one of our most popular issues, and it’s no secret why. Who doesn’t enjoy reliving those moments— the laughter,…

TINY DOORS WEST PALM BEACH Northwood Village is dotted with doors no larger than a cellphone thanks to artist Nickie Hennevelt. Inspired by similar projects in cities like Atlanta, Hennevelt installed her first tiny door in 2015 as a way to engage area creators, businesses, residents, and visitors. Today, more than 20 individually designed doors are scattered throughout Northwood and downtown West Palm. On June 30, join Hennevelt for a tiny door hunt at Northwood’s monthly Art Night Out. (561-215-1634, tinydoorswestpalmbeach. WALKS OF LIFE In March, the City of West Palm Beach Art in Public Places program brought art from the walls to the streets when it installed a new mural, entitled Walks of Life, at the intersection of Fern Street and Tamarind Avenue. Designed by visual arts students from…

Beach Enclave North Shore villas sit 65 feet above the coast. Villas have pocketing doors for indoor/ outdoor living‚ four or five bedrooms‚ and private pools‚ and are attended by a butler. For the past decade, the stock of Providenciales has been rising. The Turks and Caicos’ most populous—and most popular—island has become home to ultra-chic resorts by some of the biggest names in the hospitality industry, Aman and Gansevoort among them. Yet not every luxury accommodation on Provo has a splashy brand behind it. The newest, and arguably the most compelling, offering is brought to you by Beach Enclave, a name you might not have heard—but will. What sets this property apart is, for starters, its location on Provo’s secluded North Shore. Perched on a coral stone outcropping 65…

For a recent birthday fête, Raysa Fanjul wore a vibrant hot-pink-and-orangestriped gown with a high-low hem by London-based designer Emilia Wickstead. In the not-so-distant past, she might have gravitated to a chic LBD or other classic look. But by her own admission, her style has evolved beyond archetypal or safe fashion choices. Her new signature is fresh, unexpected, and unapologetically her own. “My fashion sense has always been on the classier side,” she says with a sly smile. “I haven’t been trendy. For example, I wore Ralph Lauren all the time. Beautiful yet classy. But as I’m getting older, I’m becoming a little edgier.” The birthday dress, she recalls, “had pockets, which I absolutely adore. It was flowy, airy, and made me feel so comfortable. I could dance all night.”…

In 1508, Ponce de León settled in Puerto Rico and introduced Spanish cuisine to the Taínos Indians, whose diet consisted mainly of fruits, vegetables, and fresh fish. Today, the island’s cocina criolla, or Creole cooking, is suffused with complex global flavors drawn from many countries, including West Africa and the United States. For a true taste of the Caribbean, head to Bistro Ten Zero One at the West Palm Beach Marriott. On June 22, Puerto Rican–born executive chef Christian Quiñones will host a pop-up dinner in the herb garden, where guests can sample savory dishes like lump crab cake on yucca salad (pictured) as well as garlic shrimp mofongo, an African-inspired recipe made with mashed green plantains, olive oil, garlic, and crunchy pork skin. Admission costs $10 and covers a…

Unmatched global exposure It’s one thing to sell high-end properties. It’s another to successfully champion their authentic value. Laurie Nugent does both.

Brazilian jeweler Irene Lummertz has bijoux in her blood. Her fascination for rare stones stems from accompanying her gemologist father to Paraiba’s colorful mines. In 2005, she traded Washington, D.C.’s West End for the tropical splendor of Palm Beach and began selling her jewelry collection at local boutiques like Mary Mahoney. She opened her first storefront off Worth Avenue three years later, and relocated to the island’s swanky Esplanade mall last December. Today, she travels to Brazil often to source raw gems like amethyst and tourmaline and to visit with the artisans who turn her bespoke creations into 18-karat gold-set masterpieces. When she’s not traveling, Lummertz enjoys spending time with her husband and son at their homes in Palm Beach and Washington, D.C. FAVORITE FASHION DESIGNER Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel…

Erin Manning, executive director of the Flagler Museum in Palm Beach, begins many mornings taking in Whitehall through the lens of a visitor. She delights in the views from the south portico: the ancient coconut groves, the undulating water that separates the island from downtown West Palm Beach, and the pavilion reminiscent of Gilded Age railway palaces. She feels connected with Henry Flagler as she moves into the library where he spent much of his time, and continues her own education upstairs alongside museum-goers in the Flagler-Kenan History Room. “Seeing this place wake up every day is such an exciting thing,” says Manning. “[The Flaglers] would invite people to be in the music room [or] the drawing room, and to have incredible meals and experiences, and we’re still able to…

Maple Crème de la Crème When chef Laurent Godbout and his wife, Veronique, established a branch of their Montreal restaurant in Palm Beach, they fused their northern sensibilities with tropical flavors. At Chez L’Épicier, the couple highlights maple syrup in dishes ranging from a foie gras and ham appetizer to a maple pudding cake. Syrup has also found its way into the cocktails with the Maple Crème de la Crème, a mix of Crown Royal and passionfruit puree topped with maple foam. Even though the tapping of maple trees is associated with Canadian winter, this particular libation spans all seasons. “The cocktail works in spring and summer because it’s not heavy,” says general manager Alex Finley. “The bright acidity of the passionfruit really shines through, and both the whiskey and…

Flight Take Dreams of flying are common, but it’s rare to experience the sensation in real life. With the assistance of silk hammocks hung from the ceiling, aerial yoga grants that same feeling of freedom. Practitioners of aerial yoga perform traditional poses while completely suspended, making it more challenging to stay upright, thereby working deep core and micro-muscles that often go unused. Gravity also affects the body, providing effortless spinal decompression and improved circulation. “When you allow aerial yoga’s zero-compression inversions to change the flow of movement, there’s nothing left to do but open up,” says Lisa Midlarksy, owner of Defy Gravity Yoga. “Many of us are often in a constant state of contraction; by lengthening our bodies we can realign the spine and give space in areas that may…
