Thought you couldn’t wear sparkle by day? Think again

BY OLIVIA BUXTON SMITH
The Telegraph

Wearing sequined and glittery piec-
es during the day might not be sec-
ond nature to most of us, but sparkle,
which was once reserved for evening,
is now considered suitable for more
casual occasions too.

You wouldn’t be blamed for feeling
silly sidling up to the school gates in
a sequined maxi dress, or for worry-
ing about looking overdressed in glit-
tery heels in the office, but that’s not to
say there aren’t ways of incorporating
sparkle into your daytime wardrobe,
that more than being viable, are actu-
ally very chic.

Creative director at Sonia Rykiel,
Julie de Libran, sent sequin blazers
and dresses down the runway in her
most recent show, which far from
looking like evening wear, wouldn’t
have looked out of place in a sunny
holiday spot.

The festive season might be on the
horizon, but you needn’t wait until the
office Christmas party to give your
glittery pieces an outing.

well as our perception of tannin and

whites too cold and our reds too warm.

According to “Larousse Wine,” a
reference book to be published in its
second edition in November, “ordi-
nary” whites should be consumed
at 45 to 48 degrees Fahrenheit, while
“classy” whites should be at 54 de-
grees, allowing their subtleties to
express themselves. Reds should be
served at precisely 57 degrees for
“young, fresh reds” or 63 to 64 de-
grees for “great reds.”

Larousse advised us to never chill
a bottle in the freezer, because it may
explode. That’s a risk, of course, if you
forget it. So set a timer.

Renovated estate offers best of Moorings lifestyle

BY STEPHANIE LABAFF
Staff Writer

A wall of glass greets guests as they
cross the threshold at 145 Anchor
Drive in the Anchor at the Moorings,
giving way to a dramatic view of the
Indian River. The expansive property
is the ideal retreat for a family. Add
the bonus of a guest house for fre-
quent visitors and you have a perfect
place for friends from far and wide.

The beauty of the house, initially
designed by architect Gregory An-
derson in the Mediterranean style,
complements the dramatic vistas
that stretch far up the Intracoastal
Waterway at one of the widest parts
of the river.

“We believe this lot has the most
spectacular views in the Anchor,”
said the owners, Ellen and Michael
Fifer. “And we are honored to have
had the privilege of completing a ma-
jor top-to-bottom renovation to bring
the house up to the very latest in fine
finishes and building standards. This
home has great character and is emi-
nently livable.”

bathroom, dining room and generous
pantry. From there, a short hallway
leads to the kitchen area and family
room.

The two-story riverfront estate
home was renovated in 2017 by Math-
erne Construction. “We basically
rebuilt the interior of the house,” ex-
plains company president Dennis
Matherne. “It was a total reconstruct
and redesign of the floor plan.”

“You don’t see a lot of work that was
done to the house; it’s all behind the
walls. It’s a very solid house with new,
impact-resistant doors and windows.
The house is updated to 2017 stan-
dards. We added a generator and gas
and updated the electrical, air condi-
tioning and plumbing. It’s basically
a new house with the character of its
old exterior,” Matherne said.

The gourmet kitchen is a work of
art with light-grey stone countertops,
new cabinets, appliances, custom
molding and a splash of blue on the
island. A small nook overlooking the
pool delineates the kitchen and fam-
ily room.

The redesign features private, fam-
ily and guest spaces, according to
Matherne. “The master bedroom was
originally downstairs at the back of
the house overlooking the best view
in the Moorings. We opened that
room up and made it a living area and
moved the master bedroom upstairs,
which greatly improved the function-
ality and livability of the house.”

On the upper level of the house,
reached via stairs or elevator, the pri-
vate family sleeping quarters have no
shortage of river views, giving one the
feeling of cruising down the Intra-
coastal on the deck of a sailboat.

Dramatic views of the river add to
the serenity of the spacious master
bedroom. His and her walk-in closets
provide plenty of room for anything
you could ever want to store with
space to spare. Double doors open
into the master bath with the garden
tub sitting center stage. Dual sinks, a
water closet and rain shower head in
the generous walk-in shower finish
off the room. Just down the hall from

reduced to $1.695 million. The sale closed on Oct. 26 for $1.6 million.
