Downtown Palm Beach Gardens is undergoing a revamp—and Emmanuel Gonzales is playing a huge part. The South Florida artist is creating vibrant art panels that will be displayed for a full year between the shopping center’s Fro-Yotopia and Whole Foods. While soaking in your sunny afternoon in this lifestyle haven, keep your eyes peeled later this fall for Gonzales’ captivating artwork, which will add a pop of color to downtown’s southern end. Gonzales’ inspiration for the 4-by-8 panels? The beautiful Sunshine State itself. “I tried to incorporate flora and fauna that exists in our environment yet is often overlooked as a result of rushing from one busy day to another,” Gonzales says. 17701 Lake Victoria Gardens Ave., Palm Beach Gardens

Elevating the styles of moms and children alike, A Little Wyld is making its mark on the families of Delray Beach. Founded by the power duo of singer-songwriter Skye Dyer and Project Runway’s Amanda Perna, A Little Wyld is a fashion force to be reckoned with. “Downtown Delray Beach no longer had a kids shop, and with both of us being fashion-loving mamas, we saw the need and wanted to fill the void,” Perna says. This contemporary fashion and home boutique offers everything from women’s athleisure and denim, throw pillows, kitchen accessories, kids fashion pieces and more—many sourced from small businesses. “Our biggest wish was to support women-owned and small brands and be able to give back locally at the same time,” Dyer says. 157 NE Second Ave., Delray Beach
