[EDITOR’S NOTE]

DECEMBER 2012

T

his is my absolute favorite time of the year, hands down. There is nothing like the hustle and bustle of the holidays, although I think we could all do without the hustle.

I love that the temperatures have dropped (so far anyway) and given us San Diegans a reason to pull out our “winter wear” and put it to good use. I absolutely love these nights by the fire with my hot cocoa, the special holiday gatherings with friends and family and that special feeling in the air. There is no other time of year quite like it.

Our December issue isn’t like any other, either. This issue is packed full of the “good stuff,” from warm and fuzzy desserts to a holiday drink menu, healthy holiday recipes to all the hottest looks in fashion and the greatest gifts to give all those special people in your life. Men, if you’re reading this, trust us on this stuff, this gift guide is gold for what to get that special lady in your life.

We also had the privilege of having Sons of Anarchy’s Winter Ave Zoli as our gorgeous cover model. This actress is stunning, and she took some time to answer some of our questions. Don’t miss what she had to say about her show, career and fashion, starting on page 12.

December also brings this year to a close. 2012 was a good one, but full of many lessons, challenges and several blessings, just as any year. As we begin to look toward 2013 I encourage you to think of how you want to say goodbye to last year and hello to the new year. Set some intentions that will help you make the most of this new year to come. I am personally thrilled to welcome a new year full of opportunities!

Wishing you all the best, safest and happiest of holidays. See you in 2013!

PHOTOGRAPHER

ERICA ASHLEY

CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Having made a name for herself portraying the porn star girlfriend of a bad boy biker on the acclaimed network drama Sons of Anarchy, Winter Ave Zoli has become recognized as one of Hollywood’s new rising stars. In this month’s issue, Zoli was thrilled to portray a side that represents bold, fearless fashion. According to Zoli, “The shoot was fun, easy and relaxed. Robert was super funny and friendly. He made the job so easy.

Balboa Park is definitely somewhere I’d like to go back to.”

Robert Dahey is a Del Mar-based commercial and fashion photographer whose images have appeared in multiple publications both locally and nationally. With his wide range of talent and industry knowledge, Dahey remains one of San Diego’s top recognized photographers. In regard to working with this month’s Fashion 5.0 cover girl Winter Ave Zoli, Dahey stated, “Winter was definitely an eminent pro. She is a woman who has taken her beauty to the next level by becoming a talented actress.”

DESSERTS

BY ALEXANDRA McNAIR

GLUTEN-FREE MOLTEN PISTACHIO AND CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE

BiCE

Snuggle up with some warm and gooey molten pistachio and chocolate lava cake at BiCE. Creamy chocolate and buttery pistachio lava ooze out onto your plate, dancing in the tart sweetness of raspberry sauce.

Dip a comforting cakey bite into the hibiscus ice cream for a cool earthiness reminiscent of late summers gone by.

HERRINGBONE SUNDAE

Herringbone

‘

Alexanders IN NORTH PARK

BY ALEXANDRA McNAIR

The piquant scent of garlic wafts through the air as you walk up to Alexander’s on 30th.

The rustic Italian atmosphere has a fine dining twist with a romantic feel. From white seats and tablecloths to the fresh white hydrangeas on each table, the décor is relaxing and inviting for couples or groups.

The family-owned restaurant entices diners with authentic, high-quality fare without a startling price tag. The staff is inviting and helpful, guiding you through the specials of the evening and pairing the perfect bottle of wine to go with the cuisine.

The roasted beet salad is beautifully presented with wedges of avocado and creamy chunks of pistachio-crusted goat cheese. Local roasted beets are lightly drizzled in house-made blue cheese vinaigrette and the light textures and flavors of

the salad are the ideal start to a veritable Italian meal.

Pizzas of cheese and garlic, such as The White Room pizza, may be split amongst groups. Caramelized walnuts and gorgonzola cream create a savory and pungent peak to the spread in the walnut gorgonzola pasta while classic pasta dishes, like the Tuscan seafood pasta with black linguini, keep locals coming back.

Save room for a walnut pecan chocolate chip cookie, served warm from the oven and topped with Tahitian vanilla gelato.

The tasty pairing of warm and cold is accompanied perfectly by a glass of port for a sweet treat to end the night.

Alexander’s fills up quickly for dinner. Visit their website to book a table in advance.

After an evening of taking in the coastal sights of Christmas lights in La Jolla, warm up next to the fireplace at Herringbone and sweeten up with the restaurant’s signature sundae. The tasty combination of salty and sweet sea salt blondies and chocolate pairs as perfectly as naughty and nice do this time of year. Espresso caramel is drizzled over rich chocolate ice cream, topped with a kiss of marshmallow cream and crunchy caramelized nibs.

KOUSAI DREAM PEAR

Heaven Sent

It wouldn’t be so bad if your significant other were actually to bring home a partridge in a pear tree, as long as the pears were Kousai Asian pears like in the Dream dessert from Heaven Sent. Crisp and juicy Asian pear is center stage, enveloped in light and fluffy puff pastry and served with a sugary pear reduction and fresh caramel. The pastry is accompanied by the refreshing zest of ginger ice cream, making this dessert a sweet ending to a winter evening.

MAPLE BACON S’MORE

barleymash

A creamy pillow of sweet and toasty marshmallow sits atop a bacon-graham cracker crust in the Maple Bacon S’more at barleymash. Sprinkled with candied bacon and topped with maple drizzle, the dessert is a warming indulgence on cold winter nights. Paired with hot cocoa this is the kind of snack that will get you to the top of the “nice” list.

FLOURLESS CAKE

Sora

The flourless cake at Sora is rich and dense, bursting with sweet chocolate. The cake is moist and rich, and a velvety custard cream pairs to balance the sweetness.

For a cold and milky balance opt for a raspberry and vanilla bean gelato alongside your chocolaty slice.

southern COMFORT WITH RON POPE

[MUSIC]

BY ERICA ASHLEY AND MORGAN MYRMO PHOTOGRAPHY BY JAIR FLORES

Hailing from Georgia, Ron Pope is a singer-songwriter made famous by the internet hit “A Drop in the Ocean,” released in 2005. Pope’s success resulted in an appearance on MTV’s Total Request Live in 2008. From there, he quickly went on to pursue a career as a solo artist which has led to several national tours as well as yearly international tours throughout Europe. ope’s music career has been a very interesting viral phenomenon. His fans take a certain ownership of his music and songs, ultimately feeling the need to pass them along for a globally viral effect. Unlike many internet sensations, however, his music has reached the mainstream audiences as well.

From the hit FOX reality TV series So You Think You Can Dance to features on CW’s The Vampire Diaries and 90210, Pope has emerged as a new household name.

Just before his San Diego performance at Lestat’s on September 28, Pope and his fiancée Blair Clark walked across the street to Tao’s to grab a bite. Pope’s “on the road” lifestyle is demanding, yet he quickly established his skills as a cook. Every now and then, he’ll dig deep into his Italian roots and pull off an ever impressive grand feast for the gang consisting of deep red tomato sauce from scratch, with meatballs, antipasto, prosciutto and the works.

That evening, Pope wore a stylish mini-harmonica necklace and when questioned about fashion, he was surprisingly knowledgeable. His favorite dinner jacket is one by Robert James, a preferred designer from the Lower Eastside of Manhattan. He described it as a red sparkle dinner jacket with “bad-ass” lapels tailored to perfection. According to Pope, when he made it big he treated himself to a John Varvatos jacket.

At Lestat’s West, Pope took the stage immediately following dinner at 10 p.m. His powerful voice, mixed with blues and grassroots tones, created a very relaxed yet powerful vibe.

Between tracks his personality floated over the crowd with comedy and charm, which brought everyone together in an intimate setting. “One Grain of Sand,” from his 2012 LP Atlanta, was an early highlight from the show which took the audience from a place of laughter to one of immediate introspective depth that did nothing short of freeze time.

In a world filled with technology and distraction, Ron Pope infuses a renewed sense of family values which wields a vision filled with the universal appreciation of loving relationships. For those looking for entertainment that demands an intimate, heartfelt response and true appreciation of life, a dose of Pope may be just what the doctor ordered.

What do you think of your character Lyla’s wardrobe on Sons of Anarchy?

Lyla’s clothes aren’t quite my sense of style but it’s fun. It’s always great to be a character who is so far from who you are in life and the wardrobe helps so much to get into the role.

What upcoming projects should our readers look for you in?

I shot a short film, Prodigal, about a year and a half ago that came out as a compilation with six other short films. It’s no longer in theaters but it is now available on OnDemand and on iTunes. My short, Prodigal, also starred Kenneth Branagh and Jennifer Morrison. I played a mother to a little girl who was a gifted prodigy.

What kind of characters would you like to portray in the future?

I would love to do a period piece. I did one a while ago but I would like to do something in the 1920s or 1930s. The wardrobe on that would be really fun.

How did you get into acting?

EXCLUSIVE WITH SONS OF ANARCHY ANARCHY’S

WINTER AVE ZOLI In tattered jeans and a beige button-down tank, this is the effortlessly cool look Winter Ave Zoli wears to our December issue photoshoot. Zoli has the kind of look most girls have to spend hours to create. With each outfit change, Zoli came to life with a new persona apt to her outfit. After landing the March 2011 cover of Playboy Magazine, Zoli is ready to take on a new role as a fashion icon. After changing out of one of her many glamorous outfits, Zoli filled us in on her Sons of Anarchy alter ego, Lyla, and her views on fashion. Equipped with a worldly background and piercing blue eyes, this star is definitely one to watch out for.

INTERVIEW BY KARISSA BOWERS

You’re best known for your role on FX’s Sons of Anarchy.

What is your character, Lyla, like?

Well, she’s a porn star! But she has a shift in work this season. She’s a girl who’s had it a bit rough in life but she has a sweet, soft core which I always try to make sure that shows.

She’s not just a hardened industry girl.

What’s Lyla’s storyline in season five?

Lyla deals with the aftermath of her husband’s death. Lyla is on her own again with not only her son but also his [her husband’s] two kids. She has to step it up and take charge so she can take care of her family.

I started off a dancer and when I moved to Europe, I stopped dancing because I was going through culture shock and readjusting to a new place. I got into theater at school and that was where it started. I had done something before moving to Europe but being in Prague was what had jump-started it.

What was it like transitioning to an L.A. lifestyle after living in Prague?

I was born in the US so I had a taste of living in the states and then we moved to Prague. But it’s a completely different world in LA. I fell in love with LA pretty quickly though. It wasn’t a hard transition but it was completely different.

What fashion trends have you been seeing lately?

I don’t really follow trends. There’s definitely a direction fashion goes in and I love that. I’ve tried to avoid “trendy” though.

We love that you don’t play by any fashion rules.

How would you describe your sense of style?

Bohemian casual with an edge.

Who are your favorite designers?

My go-to brands are Helmut Lang and Alexander Wang. For tees, I like Enza Costa.

On the shoot today, what was your favorite thing you wore?

Definitely the Rachel Zoe jumpsuit. I love that it was something I wouldn’t normally wear but it was very womanly and glamorous.

LINDA HEASLEY

FASHION TIDBITS

BY NOHELY MENDOZA

THE LIMITED Linda Heasley, CEO of The Limited, filled Fashion 5.0 in on The Limited’s new image and the grand opening of its store in Fashion Valley.

NEW TIFFANY & CO. STORE

PAMELLA PROTZEL-SCOTT ELLA MOSS INTERVIEWS BY KARISSA BOWERS

Fashion 5.0 got an up close look at Ella Moss’s latest collection and got the scoop on its inspiration from Creative Director Pamella Protzel-Scott.

What’s the story behind the name Ella Moss?

Ella Moss is a combination of my name and the name of my partner at the time when we started it. My name is Pamella so that’s where the Ella part comes from and Moss was a nickname for my partner whose name is Moise.

What was your inspiration behind the latest collection?

I was inspired by The Great Gatsby and the roaring twenties.

What are your favorite pieces out of the collection?

One of my favorites is called the “Cleo” jacket, it’s a gold sequined jacket that you can wear with a basic tee underneath it or you can dress it up. The other piece I love is our “Cleo” shift dress which is a burnout velvet dress that has a flapper feel to it.

What’s your favorite piece for fall?

Our “Roslyn” leggings. They’re French terry leggings that are coated so they appear to be leather.

They are super comfortable but you still get a chic look.

How would you describe your personal sense of style?

My personal sense of style is how I would describe the brand. It’s a California eclectic style. It’s a little bit boho, a little bit rock ‘n’ roll.

What can we expect from the next Ella Moss collection?

Our spring collection is called “Western Wild in the Sunshine State.” It’s got a lot of western influences like fringe details, some citrus floral prints and bandana prints.

26

DECEMBER 2012 // fashionFIVEO.com

What did you have in mind when redesigning the brand?

My goal was to better understand who the customer was. Our customer is a young woman who has a career and needs great go-to pieces in her wardrobe that aren’t going to break the bank. She needs pieces that she can wear from work to going out or going on a date.

WESTFIELD UTC The Westfield UTC shopping center is now the home of San Diego’s second Tiffany & Co. store. The recent opening featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the grand opening of the new 3,250-squarefoot store and their 175-anniversary year. The store was designed with elements inspired by the grandeur of the Fifth Avenue flagship store.

What is a piece you think every customer should own from The Limited?

A faux leather bomber jacket, skinny jeans and a Merino sweater. I also recommend a good black suit.

The Limited launched its collection by Sophie Theallet on November 15. What can you tell us about that?

I wanted a designer who loves women and who is very feminine. The collection features one dress silhouette in four colors, one cardigan in three colors and a few accessories.

The Limited is donating a portion of proceeds from the opening weekend to the charity Dress for Success. What can you tell us about the charity?

What we admire about Dress for Success is they support women in all transitions of their lives and they help them get back on their feet in tough times.

We feel it’s really important to give back to the community. We are letting women shop and enjoy themselves while also giving back to those in need.

21ST CENTURY BRA

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER

DESIGNING FOR ROCHE BOBOIS STORE The legend known for designing Madonna’s cone bra, Jean Paul Gaultier has joined forces with furniture designer Roche Bobois.

Together they came up with a collection filled with a bedroom set, sofas, flattering furniture pieces and accessories for the home. The line features a mix of florals, stripes and abundant textures.

DIAGNOSES BREAST CANCER First Warning System’s Breast Tissue Screening Bra has the ability to detect breast cancer cells up to six years earlier than conventional diagnostics. The bra can distinguish heat changes in the breast tissue, a budding sign that there is tumor activity. The device is in the means of being tested for sensitivity and accuracy in three clinical trials involving 650 subjects. It will be available with a prescription first in Europe in 2013, and in the US in 2014 after it is FDA approved.

WEDGE SNEAKERS

[FASHION STYLE]

ALL

These hidden wedge sneakers are dope. Granted, they have got to be rocked with some swag persona, but once these kicks on are the feet, feeling swaggy should be no problem. Rock ‘em with black leggings, an offthe-shoulder sweater and chunky watch.

“Iversion” sneakers

WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS

BY KATEY YURKO

WISHBONE NECKLACE There’s something about the wishbone that is timeless, sweet and intentional in its symbolic meaning. Delicate pendant necklaces are great for layering with larger ones.

Worn alone they simply look fine and pretty. This House of Harlow wishbone necklace is number one on the accessories Christmas list.

“Tribal Wishbone” necklace

by House of Harlow 1960, available at Pigment Boutique, $72.00.

BLACK PEPLUM TOP Peplum styles are scary to try at first, but when they’re done right, holy hotness do they look great.

The most posh of the peplum bunch is the leather top. It can jazz up anything and look chic.

Black leather peplum top, available online at www.riverisland.com, $56.00

CAT FACE WHITE DRESS Nothing much to say except that cats are dominating pop culture right now. Cats are rad. White always looks great in the winter. Why not a white dress with a cat face on it? Brilliant. Meow. Cat face white dress, available at www.romwe.com, $49.99.

FRINGE SWEATSHIRT Make no mistake about it, sweatshirts are in and rockin’ in style nowadays. This black sweatshirt has faux leather shoulder padding and long fringe that dangle on the sides.

Edgy and cool. Add to cart please!

“Lavi” leather fringe sweatshirt, available at www.shopjtique.com, $62.00.

RED JUMPER

Rompers are fab because it’s like wearing a short dress without having to worry about flashing innocent bystanders and they make legs look super long.

This Motel Rocks piece is gorgeous. Everyone notices a lady in red.

“Jet Playsuit” by Motel Rocks, available at Mimi & Red Boutique, $88.00.

HOT SHORTS

STUDDED NUDE POINTY-TOE PUMPS These shoes are redic. They are classy and sexy at the same time. Nude is the new black and black is the new nude, especially for a gal’s feet. As Carrie Bradshaw said, “Hello, lover.” “Marilena” suede studded mid heels, available at www.missguided.co.uk, $47.23.

Hot shorts are not just for the summertime. They look just as stunning over a pair of sheer black tights with pumps for a glamorized look or with ripped tights and combat boots for a rocker appeal. This sparkling pair of shorts is a must have under the tree. “Razzle Dazzle” shorts by Motel Rocks, available at Mimi & Red Boutique, $80.00.

BLACK & GRAY SPARKLE SWEATER The sweater has revolutionized itself again and again. There is the chunky knit, the grandpa button-up, the shoulder bearing and many more.

This one by Free People is streamlined to lay flat on the body and is gorg enough to wear over a dress. Sweaters just got hot.

“Bang Bang” cardigan by Free People, available at Tease Boutique, $165.00.

DECEMBER HOROSCOPE

BY CATHY MOE WITH HALI WINTHROP

What is the definition of your horoscope? It is the name of the constellation that came between the sun and the Earth on the day you were born. The truth is that there are 13 constellations that come between the sun and the Earth during each annual orbit.

The ancient Babylonians that created the horoscope only wanted 12 signs to keep things easy, so they left off Ophiuchus, the snake holder.

ARIES The Ram { April 19 – May 13 } Your spirit soars as December brings you to the next level. Detours are merely signposts to use a new approach. Romantic encounters open your eyes. Enjoy soul treats and spicy sweets as the holidays arrive.

TAURUS The Bull { May 14 – June 19 } Stock up on uplifting items that offer beauty and comfort. December promises personal epiphanies. If you want to bring your soul mate closer, open your heart and expand your bandwidth. By Christmas you’ll be glad you did.

GEMINI The Twins { June 20 – July 20 } This month glitters with new reflections. Taking care of yourself is a must. Be the angel you’ve always wanted to be. Romance matches the festive mood in the air. Follow your holiday desires.

CANCER The Crab { July 21 – August 9 } Intuition and flow are your keywords. December’s magical moments bring inner peace. Don’t fall in love, walk steadily toward it. Christmas energizes your awareness. Embrace it.

LEO The Lion { August 10 – September 15 } Holiday plans speed to completion. It’s important to stop for a peppermint moment. You’re going to be busy. Generosity is a natural outcome of your compassion. You are appreciated.

VIRGO The Maiden { September 16 – October 30 } Be sure your favorite luxuries are close at hand, like silks, satins and scented soaps. After organizing holiday gifts and decorations, embrace the change headed your way. Romance and recreation are yours. Snuggle into the arms of a loved one.

LIBRA God of Justice { October 31 – November 22 } Your scales of balance create this holiday’s magic. Rejoice in the bliss that surrounds you. The glow of evening light warms hearts and melts tough critics. Choose gifts and invitations wisely.

SCORPIO The Scorpion { November 23 – November 29 } Shiny lights and quiet nights make this season a success. Your feelings are closer to the surface and your instincts are spot on. A romance is about to sweep you off your feet. Enjoy the holiday rush.

OPHIUCHUS The Serpent Holder { November 30 – December 17 } The old rules are dissolving although you never really followed them. Your flair for the original brings the holidays to new heights. Trust that your instincts serve your best interests. Relax with friends and family.

SAGITTARIUS The Archer { December 18 – January 18 } Choose your goals and aim straight. You are questing as holiday events converge. Follow your heart to find the spice in the Christmas cake. Make your own rules when it comes to romance.

CAPRICORN The Goat { January 19 – February 15 } All work and no play makes for a busy holiday. Drop your guard and take some time off. Enjoy the festivities and relax as the year comes to a close. Adorn yourself with Christmas cheer to welcome in the new year.

AQUARIUS The Water Bearer { February 16 – March 11 } At the end of the day, memories are your treasure trove. Satisfy a longing in your heart. This holiday brings a chance to embrace new traditions. Take a trip or journey that awakens your senses this Christmas season.

PISCES The Fish { March 12 – April 18 } Remember what’s important for the holidays. Your vision creates a pathway to your goals. Family and romance vie for your attention. Do what keeps your heart happy. Enjoy your ginger snap dreams.
