Why Old-World Indulgences Are the New Luxury

Precision, balance, and the modern approach to the eye lift

Few machines in automotive history command both reverence and pulse-quickening desire quite like the 1963 Corvette Split-Window Coupe. As the debut of the C2 generation, it marked a seismic shift for Corvette, from the soft, rounded charm of the ’50s to a silhouette that was sharper, bolder, and defiantly futuristic. Its bisected rear window polarized critics at the time but has since become one of the most recognizable and coveted elements in American car design. Power matched beauty: lightweight fiberglass, purposeful aerodynamics, and a choice of muscular small-block V8s gave the Split-Window real athleticism. Inside, the cockpit enveloped the driver in aircraft-inspired gauges and sculptural lines, making the experience feel more jet fighter than automobile. And because the split window lived for only a single model year, its rarity elevated it from collectible to cultural artifact. Combing the landscapes, barns and warehouses across America is Heartland Customs, the Oklahoma-based artisans rewriting what a classic Corvette can be. Their acclaimed ‘SPECVETTE’ program takes the sacred geometry of vintage Corvettes and infuses them with modern supercar engineering. Every element is obsessively crafted: triple-plated chrome, new hardware throughout, DOT-approved glass, and interiors wrapped in European leathers with hidden fasteners and bespoke electronics. Custom gauges preserve vintage charm while offering contemporary precision. Underneath the body lines lives a thoroughly modern soul: a bespoke chassis, independent suspension borrowed from today’s performance machines, upgraded brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, and modern, high-output engines that deliver smooth, confident power. We know Corvette enthusiasts love the looks and style of the classic models but demand modern performance and comforts. We’ve spent years designing and engineering a line of custom, classic models built to perform at a supercar level with the reliability that today’s drivers are accustomed to”, says owner Jeff Page. Recent auction results of Heartland retromods have exceeded $600,000, making it one of the most talked about builds ever offered. Heartlandcustoms.us

Inside the Truth, Faith, and Vulnerability of JB Copeland

For more than two decades, Annie Santulli has been redefining luxury living from Palm Beach to Park City with her unmistakable signature: bold color, sculptural silhouettes, and interiors that whisper effortless sophistication while still brimming with personality. Her work spans waterfront estates, sky-high penthouses, and custom yachts. Each project is a study in balance: dramatic yet welcoming, refined yet playful, chic yet endlessly livable. Clients return to Annie for one simple reason, she understands how they want to live. She creates homes that look impeccably tailored yet feel utterly comfortable. Textures are layered with the precision of a seasoned fashion editor and she chooses statement pieces with a curator’s eye. Whether she’s placing a sumptuous custom sofa in a great room or selecting art that makes guests pause mid-conversation, Annie designs spaces with life, movement, and intention. Annie Santulli Design recently transformed a spacious Palm Beach Gardens residence into a gallery-level home where art, architecture, and luxury finishings coexist in perfect harmony. The clients’ extensive, deeply personal art collection served as the guiding force for every material, spatial, and lighting decision. The living room centers around a commanding 14-foot oil on linen by Brian Rutenberg— Meadow —which sets a confident chromatic tone for the home. Crisp white walls, a streamlined white sofa, Lucite side tables, and a tonal rug create an unobtrusive canvas that allows the artwork to lead. In the kitchen, craftsmanship becomes its own form of artistry. A custom hand-blown pendant from Czech lighting studio Bomma that’s stands nearly three feet tall. And serves as an illuminated focal point, hovering like a suspended droplet of light. The entirely reimagined kitchen features quartzite surfaces, high-gloss white cabinetry by Artistry Woodworking, and illuminated glass display cabinets showcasing curated objets that echo the clients’ overall collection. Lisa Jarvis hardware adds a refined finishing touch. Throughout the home, furniture selections follow a sculptural, cohesive rhythm while allowing each artwork its own presence. A custom hand-painted Italian credenza grounds the family room, blending Old-World craftsmanship with contemporary restraint. Architectural enhancements, including new glass banisters along the staircase and second-floor catwalk, reinforce the home’s airy, gallery-like aesthetic. Overhead fixtures from Hammerton were chosen for their sculptural integrity and their ability to cast nuanced, atmospheric light across each piece. Warmth and depth come through deliberate layering: Philip Jeffries wallcoverings add subtle dimension, custom drapery softens natural light, and bespoke bedding completes the private rooms with quiet luxury. Every detail was considered, curated, and placed with intention. The result is a home that not only celebrates extraordinary art but becomes a work of art itself. It is elegant, inviting, and a beautifully balanced reflection of Annie Santulli’s refined design sensibility.

Hunger Games but in Oscar de la Renta

I didn’t go looking for Candy Cane. Candy Cane found me. I was at Dr. Barr’s office in West Palm Beach—already someone who knows her way around aesthetics—but still searching for that elusive unicorn: a medical aesthetic professional who understands restraint, regeneration, and the difference between “refreshed” and “who did your face?” Then Candy walked in. First impression? Sunshine. Blonde, bright, warm, instantly disarming. The kind of person who makes you feel relaxed before you even sit down. And while we were chatting—about life, about skin, about absolutely nothing and everything—I had this quiet realization: she wasn’t just talking. She was watching. Studying. Taking it all in. Facial movement, skin quality, energy. Intake by conversation. Genius. Candy has more than 20 years in the aesthetic industry, and it shows—not in an intimidating way, but in a confident, effortless way. She’s not satiated in her approach. She’s intentional. Thoughtful. She believes the patient’s own body should do the heavy lifting—not the syringe—and honestly, that philosophy alone made me trust her immediately. I was specifically looking for someone who could microneedle platinum biologics exosomes—something I had discovered years ago and deeply believe in for stimulating collagen, improving skin texture, and calming inflammation. It’s not a trendy treatment. It’s a smart one. And finding someone who truly understands how to use it properly? Rare. Candy didn’t blink. She knew. Her aesthetic philosophy is refreshingly sane. Yes, there’s a place for hyaluronic acid fillers—but her true artistry lies in biostimulators and neuromodulators, using toxin lightly, artfully, and strategically sprinkled across the face, neck, and chest. No frozen faces. No overfilled cheeks. You still look like yourself. Just better rested. Brighter. Softer around the edges. Candy thinks in plans, not quick fixes. She loves combining chemical peels, laser therapies, microneedling, exosomes, growth factors, and medical-grade skincare into treatments that actually work with your skin. Healthy skin first. Everything else follows. And here’s the part that really sold me: she will absolutely talk you out of things. Candy guides patients toward slower, more natural approaches, giving tissue time to respond so results look better—and last longer. She wants her patients to look pretty and fresh, not tired or oddly aged by aesthetics. And frankly, that honesty is rare. So if you’re new to town and quietly asking around, wondering where the people-in-the-know go—now you know. Candy Cane is an expert. An artist. A listener. A ray of sunshine with a syringe—used sparingly and brilliantly.  Finding her felt a little magical. And once you do, you’ll wonder how you ever trusted anyone else.
