Anyone notice how style and fashion have seamlessly made their way into the IE? First came fabulous boutiques, then the launch of our fashion lifestyle mag, now we suddenly find ourselves joining the Art Institute for the premier of their new Fash hion Design program offered at the Inland Empire campus. When I say pre emier, I mean a major runway production reminiscent of LA’s Fashion Wee ek. Ok, maybe a Jr., version, complete with step n repeat, VIP lounge, circ sstyle performers, live Dj’s and 6 foot tall models. Oh yes, and a few thou usand new fans in attendance! The best part about it is we’re just getting starrted. There’s no doubt that each issue e of ieStyle mag differs in every way from that of the last and the summer issue e remains true to this ideal. We are often flirty but never dirty, we may hold ba ack at times but don’t call us conservative and we’re always at all costs, FU UN, FRESH and FABULOUS just like our readers like it! In this issue we explore the sexy side of summer. From untapped watering holes where the IE’s “it” girls can n enjoy a dirty-tini with friends to stylish pool lounges that span like a mirage starting from the heart of the IE, then skip hop and jump their way to the b big V; Vegas baby! Join us as we reveal a side of the IE that will keep you coming back for more. Indulge yourself. Rachel Soto

here are few spots around town that encourage lazi- ness so bikini clad ladies can soak up judgment-free relaxation along the lazy river at the Oasis Pool at Casino Morongo. Even with a desert backdrop the locale snaps up the title of “tropical pool,” as it quietly hides behind a lush South Pacific garden.
The sandy beach pool marks a perfect place for sipping procured cocktails from the bar and the multi-tiered Jacuzzi is where the lazy girl can unwind with a glass of wine. There’s no doubt that your milkshake will bring all the boys to the yard, but if it’s a “girl’s only” kind of party, keep the boys out by snagging a private cabana for you and your crew.

Haute and Faith Reading your horoscope might provide plenty of daily insight on who to avoid in the office, but chances are you’re not getting the details on whom to sidle up to by the pool. That’s when you need to put your faith in the love goddess and make your way the ultra hot Venus Pool Club at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Sure you could opt for Rehab, but the truth is inebriated ragers are so last year and so not your style. The place channels the serenity of the gods laden with columns, oversized plush white chaises throughout, signature frozen cocktails and sleek beats all set underneath the vast desert sky. Go diva with your girls and kick back in your

So a jet to Vegas isn’t really your idea of beating the heat, but when there’s an Evian spritz, frozen towels and poolside rub downs, you can’t turn down this Sin City treasure. This is real love.

Some swimsuit seekers have searched beach side cities for the perfect suite for years before stumbling across a hidden piece of swimsuit heaven in Rancho Cucamonga.

This sweet Peach has customized suites for dancers, body builders and anyone who wants a suit for a special occasion. Whole wedding parties have been outfitted!
Fresh Peaches had its start about thirty years ago when the owner, Janette Love, moved her family to a new neighborhood in Rancho Cucamonga. She wanted her daughter Lannette to look cute running through the sprinklers in the front yard. So she sat down at her sewing machine in the garage and made matching mother/daughter swimsuits. Neighbors started asking if she would sew suits for them and their daughters. Janette soon became “The bathing suit Lady?”
Many seasons and thousands of designs later, Fresh Peaches of Rancho Cucamonga is home to a breathtaking 6,000 swimsuits displayed within a 6,500 square foot enclave of figure flattering styles. From skimpy bikinis to plus-size tankinis and in fabrics that appeal to any taste, even the most discerning diva will meet her match in a bling’d out number studded with Swarovski crystal rhinestones… Now that’s Style! 12033 Jack Benny Drive, Suite 101, Rancho Cucamonga, CA (909) 980-0172 www.fresh-peaches.com Style Summer 2009 43

here was a time when a “me day,” meant gathering up all of your drugstore goodies, going into mom’s bathroom (because it was bigger than yours) and treating yourself to an hour or two of avocado masks, freshly polished toes, elbow scrubs and more. Times are a changin’. A“me day,” in this day means booking a treatment at Riverside’s hidden paradise— DermaSpa. The serene space just off of Van Buren employs only top products to get you gussied; from Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup to Demalogica, Vivant and Cosmedix, this sophisticated staff are the know-it-alls of skin and beauty. The ideal afternoon could mean getting ready for your close-up with a Red Carpet Facial—a fire & ice microdermabrasion fit for a star, a designer-style peel, X-treme lash extensions, teeth whitening, a mani or even a coveted Sun FX airbrush tan. Self-inflicted and often dangerous peels are a thing of the past—much like signs of aging at DermaSpa. The spa, headed up by Lisa Luna, is committed to excellence and young beautiful faces. You’ll be a bombshell in no time and that’s a (Eucalyptus) wrap. Located at 3700 Van Buren Blvd. #106. Riverside, CA. 951.351.8696. www.dermaspaskincare.com 44

hen you’ve had enough of smelling acrylic and chaos of your average nail salon, make your way over to Orchard Nail Spa in Corona. A chit chat and cell-phone-free zone, Orchard affords a gabbing girl like yourself some quiet time with relaxing spa tunes spilling out of the speakers, a soothing interior and a calm essence that looms throughout. Owners Thomas Irwin and Alex Hanshaw have dubbed this hand and foot paradise, “sweaky clean,” because they’re committed
to a germ-free environment. In other words this isn’t your run of the mill nail joint. Don’t expect to be greeted by nail trimmings, grimmey chairs and less-than-presentable foot basins. Settle into your spot and zen-out with favored treatments like the Almond Mani and Pedi—what’s become the spa’s signature bit. You get done up and left silky smooth after being pampered with almond based products. Flow it up with a waxing session. It is summer, after all. Or get glam with acrylic or gel nails. It’s no wonder Orchard is getting talked up around town as “the best.” You’ll get everything you want and you’ll waste not.

Café Sevilla You don’t have to remember verb conjugation to have a good time at Spanish hot spot, Café Sevilla in Downtown Riverside. The only grammatical rule to follow: excessive use of first person singular—“I.” Make sure you treat yourself to a bevy of saucy beverages like White Sangria with fruit liqueurs, the Sevilla 43—a savvy concoction of Licor 43, milk and cinnamon on the rocks or the Spanish Margatini—a classic 100% Agave ‘rita with hint of vanilla and served straight up. Reminiscent of the Old World, the rustic interior is offset by vibrant reds, cobalt blues, glorious stained glass and distressed leather seating. When you tire of casual sipping, make you way downstairs to Sevilla’s nightclub and grab your girls for a night of dancing to the latest top 40 beats on the main level , get back to the 80’s on the upper deck or shake it up with some Salsa mid-week then school everyone on what it’s like to be VIP as you cozy up at your table.

ables outfitted in black and gun-metal grey with tumbleweed centerpieces surrounded the dance floor, ambient lighting flooded the room and amidst all of the black caps, full sleeve tattoos and ear bling ,were the ladies of motocross--congregating together, similarly outfitted in short black dresses and sky-high heels, laughing and swishing jewel-toned libations. When they’re not sifting through the pages of Parisian Vogue or keeping up with the Kardashians for their lasts fashion inspiration, these girls are keeping their air-happy guys grounded. Marissa Deegan, the wife of Brian, mom of two and Lauren’s BFF, described dirt bike culture as, “intense,” sighting the biggest challenge as, “Watching them [riders] do what they do…it’s a fast paced life.” All
of the ladies nod at the difficulty of watching their men get on the track to defy the conventions of gravity and society. What’s most is these women commit to men who are, to put it nicely, living on the edge. “Once you’re in, you’re in. This life is crazy and bittersweet,” says Gina Mazone girlfriend of Todd Potter. If able to describe the lifestyle in one word, Amy Sander who’s engaged to Aussie Robbie Maddison calls on the quintessential adjective, “amazing.” But the best part of it all says Marissa is, “Watching our husbands get out there and succeed.” After posing for a few photos and before being whisked away by her girls, Lauren thinks hard as she prepares to answer her experience as a moto-wife. She responds by saying, “It’s a tough spot. And my advice to any girl getting involved with a rider is to be strong. These people are like family. There are up’s and down’s, high highs and low lows. There’s a lot of risk.” It’s no doubt that Jeremy took a risk on February 10, 2009, but his life won’t be forgotten as the LLF memorabilia states, he’s got the “Mrs.” to keep his legend alive. –Candace S.

“Fashion’s got the Blues” OR “Get in the Mood” In Partnership with the Art Institute of California--Inland Empire, the 909 Celebrates High Fashion at Mood Indigo
A parade of lights danced along an illuminated runway as a white-faced juggler made his way down the stage in harlequin fashion. He was followed by three young contor-tionists whose bodies weaved, twisted, intertwined and balanced upon one another’s. A set of mysterious rope climbers seemed to fall from the sky. These figures artfully curved their torsos to the simulated sound of water drops. And as though they’d arrived fresh from a Victoria’s Secret Renaissance fair, two skilled women danced with and swallowed violent balls of fire. This was the opening scene of the Art Institute of Califor-nia--Inland Empire’s first ever, Mood Indigo fashion extravaganza.
This evening of June sixth showcased an unparalleled experience for many onlookers and invited guests. The night kicked-off for a select few in the official VIP lounge where crisp orange and aqua hues filled the space. Velvet covered tables were situated throughout, deep blue chaise lounges made for chic and comfortable seating, while SmartWater owned the floor. Rather than asking to refill your drink, “smarty pants” (un-official moniker given to girls promoting the H20), offered up the “electro brew” with ear-to-ear smiles. When not guzzling the water, the style mavens of the I.E. sipped on an endless supply of Chardonnay and noshed on tasty bits including everything from ba-conwrapped shrimp to delicate peaches coupled with fresh mozzarella and basil. Many of the VIPs, who were sporting their absolute best, sat back to admire the room’s cen-terpiece where seductive and upbeat belly dancing as well as a sultry rope climbing took place. And prior to the main event, the ladies had a chance to touch up their looks thanks to Jade Aveda’s Beauty Bar. Style Summer 2009 61 17

orrowing its name from a 1930’s Duke
Ellington jazz composition, Mood Indigo was an opportunity for many first-year students, local and globally-known designs to showcase creative, unique and cutting edge looks for the IE gal. Much of the work presented by the Art Institute students paid homage to everyone’s favorite fabric -- denim. “We wanted to create a play on words as fashion designers create moods,” said Sherry West, Academic Director of Fashion for the institute. And create a mood they did. Stu-dent, Sara Vigil, paid homage to the sophisticated and polished look of Coco Chanel with blue-black denim palazzo pants, which featured the oh-so-chic highwaist, coupled with an ultra-fem while ruffled blouse. Joseph Yoshimura, also a student, channeled a spirit of “warrior,” with a Kimonoinspired denim dress cut from raw denim.
The event’s fashion sponsors also came to show-off some of their latest and greatest. Miss Me Jeans proudly displayed pieces from their MM Couture line which included de-liciously crafted chiffon blouses, edgy vests and a cream crochet top as well as their signature intricately pocketed jeans. Affliction, brought something for the guys, with bad boy faves like cross tees, cozy, but tres sexy thermals, hoodies designed with black an-gel wings and of course, denim. Scoring major points on the runway were the unique designs of IE native, Nick. Soulful Commandoe, wowed the crowd as wax coated jeans (made of raw denim and complimented with a genuine fox-tail), reversible flannels, pon-chos, backpacks and the signature Converse Shoe Hoodie, made their way down the catwalk. The designer himself proudly wore a creation of his own--a snakeskin teddy bear backpack and spoke with conviction when he said, “I believe in dreams.

My work just comes to me.” Too cool for school, deejays spun electofunk and electro-pop, care-fully-created coiffetures littered the first few rows and a Billie Holiday look-a-like perched herself among the masses. And even with all of the unmatched energy about, no atten-dee was prepared for the stellar looks brought on by fashion vet, Bebe. The retailer dazzled on-lookers with a carefree taupe jumpsuit, 80’s stone washed cigarette jeans, corset-style top, ruffles galore, exposed zippers, a fringed mini-skirt and the ultimate snakeskin maxi -- the “Pantha” dress. There were enough fedoras to go around, FYI. The cloudy and rather chilly Saturday gave way to the hottest night the region has seen. Creativity shone bright at the Mood Indigo event, while students gained a sense of the high energy, fast pace and level of commitment that is coupled with the fashion industry. According to Quyenzi Pham (fearless leader, director and CEO of Zi Productions, Inc.), “There is no other school that provides degrees in these specific areas here. There are so many creative, stylish and capable students in the Inland Empire ...These students will play a key role in bringing fashion design, retail and merchandising to not just the Inland Empire, but the fashion industry as a whole.” Hundreds of supporters made it out to “get in the Mood” that night. And there’s no doubt that they left with a greater passion and respect for the design world. In the words of a famous fashionista, “You betta work!”
