On fame, freedom, and the quiet discipline of creating work that serves something larger than the self. Richard Grieco speaks with a calm, deliberate steadiness that feels earned rather than cultivated. Widely recognized for his breakout role as Detective Dennis Booker on 21 Jump Street —a performance that propelled him into the cultural spotlight and made him one of the most visible young actors of the late 1980s—Grieco rose quickly during an era when television stars became

On instinct, independence, and why wandering remains the ultimate luxury.   There are women whose presence transcends fashion, whose style feels less constructed than instinctive. Inès de la Fressange is one of them. Muse to Chanel, creator of her own namesake brand, inspiring businesswoman, author, and living symbol of the Parisian woman myth, she embodies a form of elegance that is simple, discreet, and timeless. Today, as she marks the tenth anniversary of her Paris boutiq

Palm Beach’s most glamorous act of generosity   Palm Beach has long understood that elegance and empathy are not opposing ideas. Few traditions reflect that balance as gracefully as the Old Bags Luncheon, a winter ritual that transforms designer handbags into meaningful support for local families and reminds us that generosity, when done with intention, can be both joyful and impactful.  Founded in 1999 by a small group of Palm Beach women supporting the Center for Family Ser

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a writer must be in want of solitude to practice her craft.” So Jane Austen might’ve penned were she writing this piece. Yet solitude was never the whole story. Without elegant balls, assemblies, and the daily rituals of family meals—most especially tea—there would have been little material for a writer whose wit and humanity still captivate us today. Jane Austen (Dec. 16, 1775 – July 18, 1817), whose 250th birthday is being celebra

It’s not often that a star redefines herself in the middle of her life. Reinvention in Hollywood tends to mean disappearing, resurfacing, or playing a self-parody. But Pamela Anderson — forever etched in cultural memory as the blonde bombshell who sprinted across our television screens in slow motion — is scripting something different. At fifty-seven, she has embarked on what can only be described as a renaissance: raw, real, and radiant in ways that feel both unexpected and

During the most thrilling decades in New York City, Barneys  wasn’t simply a department store—it was a stage for the most influential moments in fashion, a place where creativity collided with commerce, and where style became a cultural language. In They All Came to Barneys , published in September 2025, Gene Pressman  tells the story only he can: from the inside. As the grandson of founder Barney Pressman and co-CEO of Barneys New York during its most innovative era, Gene of

For nearly a century and a half, Krigler has been the secret weapon of the world’s most captivating figures—Audrey in her ingénue years, Grace before the crown, Hemingway with a tumbler nearby. These are not just perfumes, they’re love affairs in glass bottles that hold history, scandal, and the kind of glamour that refuses to fade. Images from Getty Images If the walls of The Plaza Hotel could talk, they’d probably gossip in perfume. And if the bottles lining Krigler’s gild

When Angie Harmon opens the door, it isn’t Hollywood fanfare that greets you—it’s a warm exhale. Candlelight flickers, a dog winds between chairs, and the air carries that sense of home where laughter and love live. The woman who once lived by call sheets and cameras is most at ease without scripts: at home, surrounded by her daughters. Motherhood was never the role she expected to define her, but it’s the one she treasures most. “Being a mom was something I never really expe

A century on, The Great Gatsby has traded bargain bins for Broadway spotlights and half-million-dollar auction blocks. Once scorned as a flop, it’s now the ultimate Jazz Age comeback—proof that even the green light gets brighter with time. On April 10, 1925, Scribner’s released a slim novel by a 28-year-old writer with champagne tastes and a mounting pile of bills. The title? The Great Gatsby. The reception? Tepid at best—just 20,000 copies sold in its first year, hardly the
