Palm Beach has always been more than a destination—it’s a lifestyle. From historic architecture to world-class shopping and unforgettable moments, it’s clear why so many are drawn to make this place home.

A reminder that in Palm Beach, every weekend tells a story…

Donald Trump’s presidency has turned this Florida island into the nightlife headquarters of MAGA, but the town’s old guard — much of it Republican — doesn’t love the new vibe.

The inaugural WINGS luncheon took place today at the historic Miami Woman’s Club. We are so appreciative of Metris Bates-Coley, the President who welcomed us. A special thanks to Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez-Rundle for graciously introducing the keynote speaker, Denise Brown. Denise delivered a powerful and inspirational address, sharing her unwavering commitment to ending domestic violence and honoring the legacy of her sister, Nicole Brown Simpson.

WINGS has been Chicagoland’s largest anti-domestic violence agency providing shelter, education, and support for men, women, and children since 1985. This luncheon was to create awareness and help stop domestic violence in Miami.

“…Harron says about half of her clients are looking for winter homes and the other half are seeking to relocate. A lot of those coming down from Barrington are interested in Wellington because of the horse connection.
“Wellington is to Palm Beach what Barrington is to Chicago in some ways,” says Harron.
While the weather is wonderful, Harron’s favorite aspect about South Florida is that it is easy to live a healthy lifestyle...”
