Innholdsfortegnelse for October 2021 i Palm Beach Illustrated

Last spring, I watched New York florist Lewis Miller (who’s coming to Palm Beach, by the way) create floral masterpieces on stage at The Society of the Four Arts and was inspired to do something extravagant with flowers. So I called photographer Joriann Maye-Keegan and started the conversation with “I have a crazy idea …” And that started into motion the project reflected on our cover and inside our pages. The plan was to pair our local florists with a muse for whom they would create a bespoke dress entirely out of flowers. There were rules: They had to use at least 85 percent fresh flowers, and they had to pull out all the stops because the most striking creation would end up on the cover. It took six months…

It may be a precarious business model, but some of the world’s greatest spirits are made using formulas known only to a handful of people. While these four examples are common behind bars, their recipes remain closely guarded secrets. CHARTREUSE For the Carthusian monks isolated in the western French Alps, life hasn’t changed since the founding of the order in 1084. The monastery is bathed in silence, and the monks have meals delivered to their cells through a small cubbyhole. In 1605, the order received a recipe for a potion composed of 130 herbs and plants. It evolved into three distinct liqueurs: the original Elixir Végétal ($180), at a whopping 138 proof or 69 percent alcohol, as well as Green ($65, 110 proof) and Yellow ($65, 80 proof). The Green…

Ever since in-ground swimming pools began to appear on residential properties, poolside entertaining has been a popular pastime. Whether guests are actually in the water or simply gathering at water’s edge, there’s something intrinsically relaxed about this particular mise-en-scène. All one has to do is look at style-centric photography—from Slim Aarons’ iconic shots to those organized by Hollywood press agents at places like The Beverly Hills Hotel—to understand the allure of socializing near a sparkling body of chlorinated water. Add to this a little architectural element such as a pool house or its more modest cousin, the cabana, and you’ve got a perfect venue for a party. Many Palm Beach condos have cabanas that are separately deeded, especially if they are blessed with generous decks or beach access. They range…

Your collections are known for their Colombian craftsmanship and modern designs. How does that make them stand out? Silvia: I have always been guided by a defined vision and the quest for a natural, effortless elegance, which I feel is ultimately the differentiating factor in my collections and one that gives my pieces a timeless quality. Women who are inclined to my designs are after garments that are special and unique, as opposed to just wearing the trends of the season. What inspires you when designing a new collection? Silvia: Inspiration can come from anywhere, but more importantly, one must be able to capture and express it in their own language. Of course, there are recurring themes of inspirations like art and architecture. I have been moved by the pioneering…

2 INDOORS The West Palm Beach fine artist duo Vibe and Guido create luxury art pieces for the home under the banner of Sabali, which means “patience” in the Bambara dialect from Mali, Africa. The name of their line exists to remind them and others to have patience in all that we do, especially in bringing creative imaginings to life. Taking a page from the unaffected harmony of nature, Vibe and Guido’s Sabali art “celebrates the perfection of imperfection and the permanence of impermanence” and may take the form of a ceramic or porcelain sculpture, painting, photograph, sculpture, or sketch. Each piece is a tangible reminder of the intangibility of life. (sabaliluxury.com) 1 OUTDOORS Marsia Holzer’s hand-carved wooden sculptures were inspired by the swallows nesting outside her Water Mill studio,…

Deepin the pine forests of Montana, about a halfhour’s drive from Missoula, a new resort is changing the game for sophisticated travelers with a passion for the great outdoors. The Green O—a riff on Greenough, the town closest to the property—is a gated enclave of 12 exclusive, adults-only wilderness retreats within a 37,000-acre cattle and bison ranch that also houses the sprawling Resort at Paws Up. Literally, The Green O is situated about 450 yards from the closest point of contact with Paws Up; figuratively, it is miles apart. Because Paws Up, with its glamping tents and timber cabins, is geared toward families, the owners created this private sanctuary for couples and solo travelers seeking a refined experience with the biggest luxury of all: peace and quiet. By day, Green…

When it comes to floral artists per capita, Palm Beach surely ranks among the top in the nation. You’ve marveled at their exquisite centerpieces at friends’ homes or their elaborate displays at charity events. Now feast your eyes on their couture creations: bespoke dresses worthy of the runway but rendered in living florals and foliage. Palm Beach Illustrated challenged three floral designers to create sartorial masterpieces, giving them the freedom to let their imaginations bloom. Turn the page for a glimpse of no-holds-barred creativity where fashion and flowers intersect.

Designer Scott Snyder has always been inspired by challenge and beauty. He’s crafted the interiors of Palm Beach mansions, Manhattan apartments, Southampton estates, Connecticut homes, South Carolina plantations, Texas ranches, Mexican haciendas, and tropical Caribbean vacation spots. In each of these residences, he aims to preserve the architect’s original vision while achieving the client’s dreams with refined elegance. His passion for interior design started at a young age, when he was growing up in Allentown, Pennsylvania. A stylish aunt and an imaginative mother kept his creative juices flowing and greatly influenced his love of architecture and decor. “When my aunt brought a copy of Architectural Digest to a family gathering, I was inspired by the luxury and amazing homes,” recalls Snyder, now based in Palm Beach. “Plus, my mother created…

Chef Tim Lipman believes it is impossible to get enough of a good thing. This fall, he’s reopened his two popular Palm Beach Gardens concepts—Coolinary Café and The Parched Pig—under one roof in The Shops of Donald Ross Village plaza. The new Coolinary is now bigger and better than ever. “As we approached our 10-year anniversary at Coolinary, we realized it was time to expand,” says Lipman, who previously worked at Jupiter’s Little Moir’s Food Shack and Leftovers Café before branching out on his own. “We listened to what our customers wanted. Now that we’ve built two distinct brands, we decided to bring them together.” The chef and his wife, general manager Jenny Lipman, broke through the wall of The Parched Pig to the adjacent space, doubling the square footage.…

For designer Kara Miller of Kara Miller Interiors, the success of any decorating project lies in its ability to perfectly represent her client. “My goal is always to have a home be the best version of the families that live there—somewhere they feel safe, happy, and most like themselves,” says Miller. In this case, the homeowner (and friend) was a successful real estate broker with an incredible spirit and appreciation for good quality and bold design. She—along with her fiancé, children, and pets—was looking for “a colorful and happy home where they could all be comfortable and begin their lives together.” To fully embrace the bold aesthetic, Miller incorporated dynamic colors and vibrant patterns into the smallest of spaces—creating exciting decor vignettes in unexpected places. A tiny office comes alive…

Far from a new fad, the use of rose quartz for health and beauty benefits dates back to 7000 BC. Rose quartz facial masks, believed to clear the complexion and prevent wrinkles, have even been recovered from Egyptian tombs. What’s the allure of this gemstone beyond its posh facade? Proponents point to its perceived healing properties of warding off negativity, promoting balance, and boosting feelings of calm, peace, and self-love. These days, the prowess of rose quartz has persevered with everything from the burgeoning popularity of rose quartz face rollers to innovative new products, like rose quartz water bottles, hitting the market. Want to try out its restorative powers? Journey to The Boca Raton’s 54,000-square-foot Spa Palmera, inspired by the elegant grandeur of Spain’s Alhambra Palace, for the 90-minute Gemstone…

Not everyone’s happy about the world returning to “normal”—especially if pandemic life is all they’ve ever known. If you’re one of the many people who acquired a new furry friend to brighten the tedious days of lockdown, it’s important to be aware of how your transition back to the office and old routines may affect your precious pup. Ashley Clark of Central Bark West Palm Beach clues us in on the pandemic puppy trend—and how to ease your four-legged family members into their new normal. (centralbarkusa.com/west-palm-beach) PBI: What is the pandemic puppy trend? Clark: Many people adopted or bought puppies during quarantine and throughout the pandemic. A lot of those puppies have never experienced not having a human at home 24 hours a day, seven days a week—but many owners…

As a certified gut health expert, I believe that establishing good gut health is the gateway to achieving overall health. While the main role of our gut is digestion, its health can affect the entire body, including immunity, the heart, and the brain. The gut is comprised of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. We’ve all experienced the sensation of salivating before a bite. This is the first stage of digestion, when the salivary glands release digestive enzymes. The body then works together with hormones, bacteria, the more than 100 million nerve cells that line the gut, and the digestive organs to break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates and convert them into nutrients that are small enough to be absorbed. The body uses these nutrients to…

Designer and tastemaker Danielle Rollins lived in Atlanta from 1995 until earlier this year, when she sold her large Tuxedo Park home—the subject of her Rizzoli-published book, A Home for All Seasons: Gracious Living and Stylish Entertaining—to none other than Usher. While she’s also resided in New York and Palm Beach for years and has relocated her main office here, Atlanta holds a special place in her heart: It’s where she raised her three children and where she returns regularly to visit friends and family. “Atlanta is a big city that feels like a small town,” Rollins says. On an average day, she heads straight to ADAC (the Atlanta Decorative Arts Center), where she can handle all her projects under one roof, then puts work aside for a class at…

When Diego and Kristin Urrutia throw a dinner party in their waterfront Palm Beach home, they leave nothing to chance. Sharing the stage with Diego’s business partners, Matti Anttila (accompanied by his interior designer wife, Jennifer) and Nic Roldan (with his equestrian girlfriend, Hannah Selleck) to introduce their High Goal Gin brand to friends, the couple rely on the entertaining panache they learned from their parents. Diego, who now works as a banker and wealth manager at Merrill Lynch in Palm Beach, was born in Lima, Peru, and raised in Argentina, Singapore, and London. He fondly describes his mother’s attention to detail and her ability to please each guest. “With my mom, [it is] the more the merrier at her parties—and there are never too many Champagne glasses,” says Diego.…

Fall is finally upon us, and with the cooler season comes many of our favorite autumnal pastimes—hello backyard campfires, football games, and harvest festivals. There’s never any shortage of fun seasonal activities, all of which seem to pair perfectly with a flavorful fall cocktail (or two). This year, I’m exploring the season’s warm, comforting flavors without turning to the most famous squash seasoning. Instead, I’m reaching for a crisp dry cider and sparkling ginger beer. Paired with a bittersweet amaro (an Italian herbal liqueur), this simple, low-proof seasonal punch is elevated with bright citrus and warming aromatic notes. —Jules Aron AMORE FOR AMARO Ingredients (serves 12) 2 cups Amaro Montenegro2 cups dry apple cider2 cups ginger beer or ginger kombuchaApple slices Add the Amaro Montenegro and cider to a punch bowl…

If the hustle and bustle of everyday life makes you dream of moving to the countryside for a simpler, more pastoral lifestyle, then you understand the allure of Cottagecore. The Cottagecore aesthetic—which extends to everything from lifestyle to personal style to decor—has recently gained immense popularity, thanks, in part, to our time spent in quarantine embracing homebound hobbies (sourdough starter, anyone?) and comfort over complexity. Cottagecore has staying power, however, and it continues to influence interior design. Jewelry designer Dana Lorenz was so taken with vintage pieces that she opened Town Country Coast in West Palm Beach. The TCC shop is what Cottagecore dreams are made of, and Lorenz agreed to share her insights on the burgeoning trend. (towncountrycoast.com) PBI: How did you first fall in love with Cottagecore? Lorenz:…

Does your daily exercise routine neglect one of your most fundamental features? Face yoga is an all-natural, anti-aging regimen that can improve your appearance and reduce the visible signs of aging on your visage. Local face yoga expert Susan Forma touts the technique as a Botox alternative that can be practiced by people of all ages to tighten and tone facial muscles. And unlike some workouts that require equipment and a hefty time commitment to see results, face yoga exercises take less than 10 minutes twice a day and can be done anywhere—including while watching television, showering, or preparing meals. While results vary per individual, Forma says they can be seen within days of starting if practiced consistently, and can include everything from reducing bags and circles under the eyes…

The Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach will debut its largest presentation of Mexican modernist art to date with “Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and Mexican Modernism from the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection,” on view from October 23 through February 6. Works by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, two of the movement’s icons, will center the exhibition, featuring 22 and 18 pieces by the artists, respectively. Realism characterized by saturated, vibrant tones and mexicanidad, an admiration for Mexico’s Indigenous culture and folk art, leap off the artists’ canvases, each exploring expression through nature, home life, family, tradition, and examinations of the self. The works of fellow modernists Manuel and Lola Álvarez Bravo, Miguel Covarrubias, Nickolas Muray, Graciela Iturbide, María Izquierdo, Carlos Mérida, José Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros,…
