Like many young people working in the food industry during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Keyla Prichard saw her hours cut in half. Blessed with an entrepreneurial spirit, the West Palm Beach native decided to bet on herself and launched The Stand. Initially, she operated as a mobile concessions business, selling lemonade, chips, hot dogs, and the like at local school football games. She quickly discovered that her lemonade was a crowd favorite and began focusing on beverages.

The Palm Beach vibe can be distilled into two words: Lilly Pulitzer. For 66 years, the brand’s iconic prints and pastel colors have set the tone for the island’s barefoot sophistication. Though Mira Fain is an expert at honing this beachy motif as executive vice president of design and development for Lilly Pulitzer, she hails from a notably chillier part of the world: Finland. When not soaking up the Palm Beaches’ sun, Fain travels to Helsinki, the country’s capital, three to four times per year.

Full disclosure here: I’ve long harbored a lustful, heart-palpitating, Bogart and Bacall love affair with Bentley’s Continental GT coupe. From the day it glided on to the automotive landscape way back in 2003, I’ve continued to swoon over that achingly gorgeous profile, its towering W12 12-cylinder power, and interior brimming with artisan-stitched, diamond-quilted leather. It’s a sickness, I know. I’m getting counseling.
