Romance From Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole, to the sonnets of Shakespeare, the language of love holds many forms and meanings; its allure has held man’s captivation throughout the ages, unfolding a varied expression of affection and compassion – relaying a simply joy of the human experience. Fashion for romance is no exception.

In searching for one’s “sexy little secret,” FINE Magazine extends our choice destinations for Southern California’s premier lingerie boutiques; from Del Mar and Fashion Valley to downtown San Diego, the finest in European lingerie is closer than one might think.

Kaprezza

Lingerie Lounge 431 J Street San Diego As one of two boutiques from mother-daughter duo Marlene and Alicia, Lingerie Lounge has quickly garnered a strong following for their designs and business approach – a philosophy echoed by their motto, “slip into something sexy and fall in love.” Founded in 2003 in Mammoth Lakes, the boutique features a diverse selection of intimates for every occasion allowing women to simply feel and look beautiful. The brand boasts designs by Wendy Glez of Los Angeles – known for a mix of soft fabrics and unique designs that truly reveal sexy bedroom-wear, as well as the sass and mid-century replicas from Loungewear Betty in New York.

Web: shoplingerielounge.com

With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, love is in the air, and while chocolate, roses and jewelry are among the most traditional gifts for couples, lingerie is perhaps a treat all its own.

Originated from the French term linge, meaning linen, lingerie has long been considered a more fashion

Intimacy 7007 Friars Road San Diego Practicing a proprietary holistic approach to lingerie, Intimacy in Fashion Valley celebrates both the “fit” and “fashion” concept to intimate wear.

Founded in 1992 by Susan Nehtero, a recognized expert featured on the “Oprah Winfrey Show” and “How to Look Good Naked,” was formally trained under the Queen of England’s Royal Bra Fitter and is better known to many as “The Bra Whisperer;” a concept that focuses not only on a proper fit, but exposes the secret on how to enhance individual features and shapes. And with more than 80 percent of the boutique’s inventory carried by European designer brands, including Lise Charmel, Aubade, La Perla, Prima Donna and Chantelle, Intimacy offers its clientele a selection rarely available elsewhere within the U.S. Web: myintimacy.com

forward trend taking shape in the late 18th century – or simply around the time of the French Revolution. While women in the Elizabethan era wore farthingales to extend and accentuate their child-bearing features, Victorian women exaggerated the full figure image – though with modest and prudish undertones – with embellished corsets, trims and colours. The French rebelled against the restriction of a corset for fabrics and designs that allowed for breathing and added movement.

Today, lingerie is embraced in many forms; from the comfort found in sports bras and functionality of Spanx, to the ultra sexy push-up bras and lacy corsets, there always seems to be something for every shape and occasion. But no matter the reason or season, women should always wear beautiful lingerie for themselves.

According to the French philosophy, wearing a “pretty little secret” helps to exude confidence and sex appeal.

with the one you like? Well that seems to be their thinking anyway.

these two would-be romantic’s stay with their regular lifestyles when their boat docks in New York City? Does fate intervene with a twist that could entangle and keep them from reuniting?

I do not want to spoil it, and I am sure many of you have seen this classic. However, do yourself a favor and take my advice this February: Watch this classic again and become instantly inspired to believe in romance, even during the Millennium. W ith social networking sites and the matchmaking business, it is nice to remember that it is possible to meet someone without anyone else playing cupid or an iPhone in hand.

The last scene might even take your breath away as the music score soars, while Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr look happily in love. Life is short; find your romantic side once again and rent this classic movie. After all, February reminds us to find love or at least to believe again in fairy tales. - Machel Penn Shull

“The Month of Love”

What do you love most about the month

of February? Is it a much anticipated ski trip to Aspen for winter break with the family? Do you look forward to the romantic comedies that feature Julia Roberts or Jennifer Anniston looking for love, or do you just absolutely love Valentine’s Day like me?

I am a die hard romantic! I have gone through every kind of hobby

I read all of the Bronte sisters in two months in my late 20’s, thankful that I wasn’t born during that era - yet envious of their austere traditions that seemed slightly more romantic in some way.

For the month of love, I am going to share with you one of my favorite classic movies to cuddle up and watch with your sweetheart. “An Affair to Remember,” with Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant. And, yes, I know it is not the original.

CORONADO

Coronado

The Emerald City

The Hotel Del Coronado served as the seaside

Jeanne Ferris

location for an infamous scene in “Some Like it Hot”, a motion picture co-starring comedians Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and the iconic Marilyn Monroe.

Often referred to as an island, Coronado is actually a peninsula surrounded by three bodies of water: the Pacific Ocean, San Diego Bay, and Glorietta Bay. In the early days of settlement, the “strand” would occasionally flood at high tide. Before the Coronado Bridge was built in 1969, automobile ferries were the only connection to this vibrant beach community, which added to the misnomer of it being an island.

The fairyland aspect of Coronado inspired the author of “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” L. Frank Baum, when he wintered in San Diego while writing his “Oz” books. Hence, the reason for Coronado’s nickname, Emerald City.

Of course, in the same breath of saying Coronado, it is impossible not to also say the “Del” - as in Hotel Del Coronado. Built entirely of wood in 1888, it is one of the last remaining Victorian seaside resorts, designed in the Queen Anne revival style with its signature brick red turrets and asymmetrical design. A star in its own right, it served as the seaside location for an infamous scene in “Some Like it Hot,” a motion picture co-starring comedians Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and the iconic Marilyn Monroe.

Hotel Del Coronado now offers the V.I.K. (Very Important Kid) program designed to make younger guests (ages 4 to 12) feel extra special beginning at check-in with a V.I.K. pass.

Kidtopia is a colorful brightly decorated facility with crafts and playtime for this age range as well. Three hour camps include dinner or lunch, which also feature scavenger hunts, sandcastle contests, beach Olympics, luaus and bonfires.

Since Coronado’s inception, the community has taken a careful approach in planning development, maintaining both the quality of residential lifestyle and the business community.

CORONADO

| FINE

Ruth Ann Fisher and Sheryll Jackman are two of Coronado’s top premiere real estate agents.

Since Coronado’s inception the community has had a careful approach to planned development, maintaining both the quality of residential lifestyle and the business community.

Contributing to the dedication of preserving the beauty of Coronado are two real estate professionals, Del Realty and The Jackman Group. Del Realty team is led by Ruth Ann Fisher whose in-depth knowledge of Coronado and San Diego markets is unsurpassed and whose business address is at the prestigious “Hotel Del”.

Sheryll A. Jackman, ASID, CID, is the president and director of The Jackman Group (founded in 1978), a Coronado based multi-disciplinary firm offering planning, design and construction. Sheryll also holds a General Contractor’s license and a Real Estate Brokers license. She is a big proponent and lecturer of Historic Preservation.

Also rich in history, and possessing a charming hacienda atmosphere, beautiful El Cordova Hotel sits in the heart of the Village of Coronado, a block from the best beaches on the island. This hotel was originally built as a retirement mansion house for wealthy industrialist Elisha Babcock in 1902. In 1930, it was converted to a Spanish Village hotel with numerous updates and expansions to accommodate the burgeoning tourist trade.

For dining pleasure, a local favorite across the street on Orange Avenue is the American bistro, Rhinoceros Cafe and Grille celebrating its 18th year. A recipient of Frommer’s and Zagat dining recommendations, it remains a standout with its pristine white tablecloths, crisp white napkins and its simple, fresh cuisine.

If you need a gift for a lady friend or fancy something new to wear for dinner, visit the high end Blue Jeans and Bikinis with an unexpected price point that is affordable. Considering the neighborhood with over 14 styles and rinses in designer denim available, shopping is a one-stop pleasure. In addition, designer swimwear and with special considerations for plus sizes, swimwear for children is also available.

The selection is extensive in regards to sweaters, jewelry, dresses, purses and accessories. This trendy boutique is the latest of “island” fashion in Emerald City.

What’s the lure of Coronado? It can be described in three simple words, RELAXING IN LUXURY.

Selling property is a lot more involved than just showing homes or buildings to a client. That’s why it is so important to hire someone who knows the business end of Real Estate as well as the marketing side.

Written By: Machel Penn Shull

Photography By: Willie Daniels of Photo Artistry

Model: Camre Jalan Farr

From gemstone miner to luxury designer, Jacqueline Grande is

known the world over not only for an unerring eye for detail, but for an irresistible rock collection to match.

Honing more than 20 years of expertise – both as a designer and gemologist, Jacqueline Grande brings to the international arena custom fine jewelry designs for discerning clientele. With a unique approach to the craft, her designs are purely inspired by the gems and precious stones themselves – allowing their story and natural essence to be revealed, as opposed to making a design fit the rock. As a result, Grande is known for her timeless and versatile style, creating one-of-a-kind commissioned pieces that celebrate life moments.

Home to San Diego, Grande’s designs not only appear throughout the U.S., but in Europe, Asia and the Middle East as well; considered haute couture, her jewelry is adorned by international royalty, celebrities and fine art collectors alike. In a recent interview with FINE Magazine, Grande relays her philosophies regarding her designs, as well as the importance of seeking jewelry with purpose and meaning.

Web: RadianceINTL.net

41

FINE: When did you become involved in the jewelry business Jacqui?

Jacqueline Grande: I started Radiance International in 1986 as a gemologist interested in mining rough gemstones. Initially, RI was a wholesale gemstone company concentrating on mining, cutting and buying gemstones in Sri Lanka and other remote gemstone rich countries and then selling the rough [uncut] and/or cut gemstones in Europe, Asia and the U.S. to wholesale buyers and jewelry designers. Later, I began to design, and was noticed by an elite Asian market. Eventually, I was hired by a Japanese firm to design for them.

FINE:

What inspired you to become a jewelry designer?

Jacqueline Grande: When I was selling gemstones at International trade shows, I found that many well known designers bought stones from me after they had already created the piece of jewelry. They were just looking for something that fit into the mounting. That seemed strange to me because I thought the gemstones deserved to have the piece of jewelry created to reflect the uniqueness of that particular individual gemstone. It is similar to a painting; one would never buy a frame first and then search for a painting to fit into it. A painting, like a gemstone, should be chosen first because you admire it for its beauty. The frame or the jewelry design is added to complement and enhance the beauty.

FINE:

What stones are your favorite to be creative with when you are making a piece for a client and why?

Jacqueline Grande: I like to know the personality of the client I am designing for so I can create something that they will enjoy wearing, and possibly passing on as a family jewel. Beauty, brilliance, durability, and uniqueness of the gemstone, plus versatility of the piece of jewelry is what I have become known for as a designer. Personally, I love sapphires because they are very durable and they occur in so many different colors. I also love rare colored gemstones. Custom jewelry highlighting rare gems that are not so easily found in nature makes that piece of jewelry so much more intriguing and fun to wear.

It becomes a conversation piece. Many times there is a story accompanying an unusual gemstone that I sell because I know the country of origin, which cut it and how rare it really is.

FINE: In your opinion are diamonds a girl’s best friend?

Jacqueline Grande: No, JEWELRY is a girl’s best friend. Diamonds are fabulous, but do not limit your possibilities for fear of seeming different. Only in America is a diamond used for engagement. In Europe and for International royalty, for centuries, fine colored gemstone jewelry is preferred over diamond jewelry. Colored gemstones express a sophistication and knowledge of finer jewelry and of course, the finer things life has to offer.

FINE: When looking for that perfect gift, whether it be for Valentine’s Day, a birthday or even anniversary, what advice could you give?

Jacqueline Grande: Look for something unique or enjoy a piece of jewelry custom made to express the individuality of the one who will be wearing it. Purchase from a reputable jeweler or gemologist [that] you trust and is knowledgeable of the product you desire.

Founded in 1992 by Susan Nehtero, a recognized expert featured on the “Oprah Winfrey Show” and “How to Look Good Naked,” was formally trained under the Queen of England’s Royal Bra Fitter and is better known to many as “The Bra Whisperer;” a concept that focuses not only on a proper fit, but exposes the secret on how to enhance individual features and shapes.

According to the French philosophy, wearing a “pretty little secret” helps to exude confidence and sex appeal.

Romantic Market Value: Gauging both image and persona

For many, romance is simply the essence of fairy tales and Sunday afternoon movies; but in reality, it runs much deeper than one might think. The social theory of one’s ‘Romantic Market Value’ encompasses the qualities and characteristics that define one’s image and identity – ranging from career and education, to hobbies and interests, appearance and health, as well as lifestyle and social engagement.

Examining the presence or dynamic of each in one’s own life can greatly impact the image and persona a significant other or potential date may perceive. This value is not entirely based upon appearance – however, getting noticed can be half the battle; to be followed, of course, by one’s charm, humor and intellect.

In celebrating romance and love for the month of February, FINE Magazine has compiled top San Diego hot spots that will help you look and feel your best; thus increasing your romantic market value.

DIET/BINGECycle BREAK FREE OF THE

With their revolutionary approach to weight loss, local Hungry Heart counselors are helping clients shed pounds and inches permanently—just by changing the way they think about food.

Here is Her remarkable approaCH to emotional overeating...

“I struggled for years gaining and losing the same weight over and over again,” Lauren shares. “I had tried every diet in the book, and struggled with stress eating and yoyo dieting for years. I didn’t have a program like Hungry Heart to help me. If I would have, I know I could have achieved my goals a lot easier.

It has now been over sixteen years that I’ve kept the weight off.”

“I consult with emotional overeaters, yo-yo dieters, binge eaters and people who are constantly making poor food choices,” she says. “What I share with my clients is that we have to change our thinking before we can be permanently successful at losing weight.”

“Most people try a diet, do well, and then gain the weight back,” Lauren says. The Hungry Heart helps its cli-

ents handle their emotions independently of the food.

of our own way so that we can efficiently achieve our goals.”

It’s not a diet, she notes, instead, it’s about changing one’s mindset. Hypnotherapy, behavior modification, and nutritional counseling work together to help you lose the weight— and keep it off.

“All hypnosis is self-hypnosis,” Lauren mentions. “You cannot be made to do anything that is not a part of your personal value system. The only things I can suggest during hypnotherapy are the things that you truly want to do.”

“We do an initial one-on-one consultation with questions and answers, then decide how to put a plan in place,” she says. “Everyone is different and determining what type of changes need to be made are unique to the individual.”

“

What I share with my clients is that we have to change our thinking before we can be successful at losing weight.

“

If you are one of the millions of Americans who try to lose weight each year — and fail — the Hungry Heart counselors LAUREN GRANT want you to know the solution could be locked in your brain.

The hypnotherapy portion of the program, she points out, “is very effective in helping us to work with ourselves rather than against ourselves.

Most of us know what we want to do but for some reason we are not doing it. Hypnosis helps us to get out w w w. F I N E sd. c o m

She likens the feeling of being hypnotized to driving a route you’ve traveled hundreds of times. “After awhile, your subconscious takes over. You might even miss your exit on the freeway, but you know that you are driving and could stop if the car in front of you stops.”

“Sessions are conducted on an individual basis, so we can personalize them to your own core issues,” Lauren says. “The privacy of personal sessions allows clients to get comfortable and get their mind in the state it needs to be in.”

“We focus on two things,” she describes. “First we find out how to help them discover what their motivations are for eating when they aren’t hungry. Then we replace eating behavior with something that serves them better.”

Nutritional counseling buffers the hypnotherapy by helping clients learn how to shop for the right foods. Part of The Hungry Heart program also includes suggestions for exercise.

Incremental changes are best,” she says. “We don’t just refer everyone to a big gym. This is about having our clients come out of the program with a better quality of life, having made healthy decisions because they want to, not because they’re supposed to.”

Lauren shares that with her program, 85% of clients will stop overeating in the first two or three sessions.

Double leg bound: From a squat position with both legs, jump forward as far as you can.

Alternate leg bound: In an exaggerated running motion, bound (which looks like a combination of running and jumping) forward from one leg to the other.

Squat jumps: With hands on hips in a squat position, jump straight up as high as you can. Upon landing, lower back into a squat position in one smooth motion, and immediately jump up again.

Depth jumps: From a standing position on a one-foot tall box, jump onto the ground and land in a squat position.

From this squat position, jump straight up as high as you can.

Box jumps: From the ground, jump with two feet onto a box about one foot high, and then immediately jump into the air and back down to the ground. As you get experienced with the exercise, try jumping with one foot at a time.
