Serena & Lily set a Boca opening date, a New York gold jeweler is bringing a piercing bar to town, and the city wants your ideas for Memorial Park.

Let's get into it.

Serena & Lily, the coastal home brand, opens its Boca store on Thursday, November 19, with 4,500 square feet of furniture, decor, bedding and wallpaper.

More than 300 of their textile and wallpaper designs will be in the room, so you can hold the fabric before you commit to the sofa.

That is the guest room sorted before the in-laws land for the holidays.

Boca has started a six month master plan for Memorial Park and the downtown civic area around City Hall, and nothing has been designed yet.

There is a survey you can fill out from your couch today, in English or Spanish.

If you would rather say it in person, the first public session is Saturday, November 14, 2:00 to 4:00pm at the Boca Raton Community Center, and the city has a table at the Night Market at Sanborn Square this Thursday, 6:00 to 8:00pm.

Speak now, before somebody else picks the benches.

Ali Weiss 💎 works only in 14k solid gold: earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, anklets, charms and chains. Her Boca boutique, the brand's first outside New York, opens at the end of November, and it comes with a piercing bar.

The exact address has not been announced yet. We will tell you the minute it is.

Kixi Cafe 🌸 is the pink one downtown: a floor to ceiling wall of roses with a gold mirror set into it, plum velvet banquettes and gold rimmed scalloped cups. The signature is the Japanese soufflé pancake, tall and wobbly, and the coffee comes from a local roaster, Wells Coffee.

Order the hot pistachio latte, sit against the rose wall, and the photo takes care of itself.

Also worth it: the cookie butter latte, the croffles, and French toast with caramelized bananas. Call (561) 990-7118.

Iwama Clinics 💋 is Priscila Iwama's studio. She shades color back into lips that have gone pale or uneven, using her own technique and equipment she developed herself, with low-level laser support so the lips heal softer, with little to no bleeding. Other artists come to her to learn it.

Your lips look like you put on a sheer tint every morning, without the tint.

Book a lip consultation. Call (561) 465-3041.

Tremble Boca 💪 in Mizner Park runs 50 minutes of strength, cardio and Pilates-inspired moves on reformers, in a dark room lit red, with every class set to the instructor's own playlist.

I found the thing that works. It is the John Frieda ULTRAfiller+ Thickening Spray 💁‍♀️, the hair filler. Spray it through towel-dried hair, comb it in, and fine hair dries looking like there is more of it. It protects against heat while you blow it out, too.

Filler for your hair, no appointment needed. That is the whole review.
