A fresco of blue shimmer across the water as an electric

watercolor sunset colors the sky. Beachside, poolside, from
your balcony or across the patio ... whatever perspective you
prefer, this scene holds possibilities as varied as the hues that
paint the moment. And as far as vision extends, from
Florida to the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United States,
there is peace of mind and calm across the water earned
with years of understanding and recognizing a simple truth,
“The Experience Is Everything.”

As MAR’s new Style Editor, Matthew A. Henson brings a
sophisticated blend of intuition and attitude to virtually every page
of this magazine. Look for his influence on the business side of
the publication, too. He will return to his favorite section of MAR—
High 5—beginning this summer. Rebecca Reinle pinch-hit for Mat-
thew this time around.

Pop Art superstar Olan is the man responsible for MAR’s

beauty and fashion features, as well as this issue’s cover. Olan was
deeply saddened by the passing of his kind and genuine friend
Anna Nicole Smith—the only celebrity he ever asked for an
autograph. To further lose yourself in Olan’s world, visit the
Ward-Nasse Gallery in SoHo or log onto Lipstickchic.com.

Dan Brickley knows a thing or two about transformations.

He hosted TLC’s A Makeover Story for three seasons, which more
than qualified him to write MAR’s Summer Make-Under feature.
Dan has authored numerous articles on fashion and beauty, and
plans on becoming a regular contributor to MAR.

For more than a decade, Sue Barr’s ability to capture the

spontaneity of everyday life distinguished her work and defined her

No trip to La Samanna is complete without
a visit to its spectacular wine cellar.
There is one restaurant on the property, but what a restaurant it
is. Diners enjoy world-class cuisine that blends just-harvested local
flavors with delicacies brought in on the daily Air France flights. The
man behind the magic is French-born Daniel Echasseriau, the 2006
winner of the Taste of the Caribbean gold medal. La Samanna’s wine
cellar is stocked with more than 10,000 bottles and, better yet, is
accessible only through a remarkable torch-lit secret passage.
Private tastings in “La Cave” are not to be missed, particularly by
Bordeaux aficionados.

Overseeing the entirety of La Samanna is the incomparable Bernard

Sarme, who came to St. Martin in 2003 after a three-year term as
general manager of the Bora Bora Lagoon Resort & Spa in French
Polynesia. Within the Orient-Express family, Bora Bora is considered
the sister property to La Samanna. Over the last few years, Sarme
has overseen the expansion of La Samanna’s enchanting tropical
gardens and expanded the depth and breadth of guest services
and amenities.

Few places in the world offer the beauty and solitude of St. Martin.
Nothing on the island comes remotely close to the top-drawer el-
egance and private-island allure of La Samanna. Add that tastefully
indulgent French flair and the result is a destination that touches
travelers in a way that makes them want to return again and again.
Alas, most of us will never know what is to live like a star. At La Sa-
manna, at least you can vacation like one.

Boggs, who has resisted the lure of cosmetic surgery, believes

that more and more Americans will be embracing the concept of
makeovers, particularly as the population ages.

“We are all living longer,” he points out. “We are all more conscious

Brooke Shields has resolutely opposed being pigeonholed into one

is Boggs’s own. It snakes its way through the chapters, giving the
reader insight into the author’s own life and providing a touchstone
for the conclusions he draws on the secrets of success.

were reserved for friends and family. That lasted about a New Jer-

Madison Avenue-ites to the landed gentry of Monmouth County.

Praised for her daring use of colors and pleasing mix of semi-pre-

the windows of Henri Bendel and worn by such celebrities as Paris
Hilton and Barbara Walters. Although she works with a loyal group
of private customers, her creations can also be seen in some of the
edgier outlets, including Coco Pari and Wisteria on the Jersey Shore
and Verve in New York. She also does the occasional trunk show.

Their decision to go with a pale palette was a brave one consider-

ing that Darren and Bill share their home with their two five-year-old
boys, Clifford and Dylan. According to Spinelli, white linen and white
denim are actually easy fabrics for young kids to live with. “Every-
thing is washable,” he says, adding that “there is always bleach.”

The chocolate walls in the dining room are in sharp contrast to the
light, clean tones used throughout the rest of the house. Originally
white, then crème with a brief stint as sage followed by pale pink,
this room has been Darren’s experiment with color, having been
re-painted every six months.

Darren’s ever-evolving collection of well-edited accessories and

furniture is also continually updated to keep the house feeling fresh
and alive. He believes in beautiful things and has assembled a
number of them throughout his travels, including the hand-
painted silk Fortuny chandelier that hangs in his dining room, and
the vintage light fixtures he brought back from a trip to Venice.

Treasured objects and

materials such as leather,
raffia and zebra complement the
soft, French-inspired frames
of the furniture with contrasting
shapes and textures.

Even heavy-use spaces

such as the bathroom
and dining room combine
touches of fun and intimacy.

If this makes Darren’s house sound like a museum, it’s not. “We re-
ally use our house,” he insists, “every room in it. We eat dinner in the
dining room with cloth napkins every night and in the morning
I have my coffee in the living room. No room is off-limits to our kids.
They can play anywhere...as long as they clean up afterwards,
of course.”

Speaking of kids, the boys have played a strong role in shaping the
décor of the house. Their latest masterpieces can be seen in the
kitchen, while framed projects are on display throughout the halls.

“I buy inexpensive white frames from Ikea and every month or so

I change my kids’ art work,” says Darren. “Nothing brings me more
joy then looking at them.”
