Hello Friends,

SEPTEMBER 2017

hen big-time Atlanta fashion journalist and entrepreneur Tova Gelfond (Eide Magazine) paused for a minute to become a mother, we coyly asked if she'd be willing to join our fashion issue as a guest editor. Between moving house (she moved from Sandy Springs to Grant Park recently) and welcoming the precious Ayla, Tova explored a fall fashion outlook for us. Lucky you! Enjoy Tova's picks and look for more from her (if we're really lucky). We've also shopped ITP and nearby here OTP to hand-pick some favorite fall finds. Post yours on our Facebook page and let's see your style! We're gearing up for Polo in the Pines, October 8, one of our favorite events of the year. As media sponsor, we work closely with the founders and organizers to help them fill the field with supporters like YOU. Consider joining as a sponsor or spectator as we raise funds for CHOA. Enjoy this issue and stay beautiful!

BIKER BINGE

The popular biker jacket from last winter is not going anywhere. In fact, it’s getting amped up a notch with leather and pleather outerwear inspired with more patterns, stitching and feminine touches. Be experimental with your moto manifesto by throwing a classic leather jacket over a maxi dress or jumpsuit. Bring in other expedition elements though leather biker boots and metal studs. Leather Biker Jacket, $280, Abercrombie & Fitch. FRYE Phillip Studded Harness, $318, Frye Atlanta

SHOW ‘EM YOUR STRIPE S

Stripes remind us of faraway places, like nautical navy lines that take you to beaches unknown. But this season’s stripes are not in the norm — they’re gutsy, bright and come in all shapes, sizes and colors. Having bold lines on your fashion pieces this season will not only amplify your look, but can accentuate your body. Use slenderizing vertical streaks to show off your curves and whittle your waist. Or use horizontal bars to enhance your bustline or hip area. Alfani Striped Tunic Shirt, $79.50, Macy’s. Betsey Johnson Embroidery Backpack, $118, Macy’s Whitby Maryamana Clutch, $485, Whitbyhandbags.com

TU RN ON THE TEXTURE S

Fall fashion textures are like an epic mashup of textile’s greatest hits. Velvet has made its return to the limelight to critical acclaim, but is more elevated than last season. The soft, crushed fabric can be found with patterns, shoes and accessories, and worn with suedes and silks. Full lace and mesh will be big as well, carrying from the summer into the winter season and you can wear it in any way, from headbands to handbags. Lace Shift Dress, $68, Abercrombie & Fitch.

HEAVY METALS

Partially part of an ’80s revival, and also due to a general obsession with shine, metallic fabrics and accessories will steal the spotlight with golds, pewters, silvers and bronze. Don’t be afraid to have fun with these tinny tones even in a casual getup. Metallic sneakers pair perfectly with a disco-ball top or muted dress. However you want to represent this lustrous trend, it’s hard to go wrong, so fully embrace this glitteratti statement. FRYE Lena Harness High, $258, Frye Atlanta. Kendra Scott Kriss Bangle Bracelet Set in Mixed Metals, $85, Kendra Scott. INC Aislynn Clutch, $89.50, Macy’s

COLLAR CHAMELE ON

This fall, it’s all about the neckline, and you can do better than the average turtleneck. Victorian collars with Shakespeare-era ruffles have donned the runways, and it doesn’t stop there. From oversized lapels and lacy ribbons to bows, bows and more bows, feel free to have fun while covering your decollete. And perhaps the best part? You don’t have to worry about a necklace when go you all in on the collar-centric style. Rebecca Taylor La Vie Indochine Dress, $375, and Satin Jacquard Scarf Top, $275, both Rebecca Taylor

EMBROIDER ME THIS

Embroidery and embellishment made a splash this summer, and it’s here to stay. The rich stitching and panel detailing draws in the eye, and aren’t limited to florals. Though there’s nothing wrong with romantic red roses and other blooming prints, this fall’s take on embroidery includes anything that gives attention to appliques.

HISTORIC BROOKHAVEN CAN D L E L IGH T TOUR OF H OMES ARTICLE CAROLINE TATE AND TRISHA THOMPSON

ave you ever driven through Historic Brookhaven and been taken aback by the beautiful landscape and architecture?

You may have even found yourself wondering if you were still in the heart of a city known for its traffic and high rises. Now, your curiosity can be cured with a ticket to the Historic Brookhaven Candlelight Tour of Homes on Thursday, October 5. This prestigious biennial event benefits Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities (ARMHC) and features homes which date from the early 1920s to today. The 2017 Tour is presented by Beacham & Company Realtors and The Skogstad-Sodemann Team. Five of Historic Brookhaven’s most remark-

able and extraordinarily decorated homes will be featured on this year’s Tour. The neighborhood’s residents along with the community sponsors who support the charity enable the event to grow year after year. “All proceeds from the Tour will help families of ill and injured children receiving medical treatment at local hospitals,” says Tour Committee Co-Chair Katherine Strickland. She also noted the long history of the Brookhaven community being tremendously gener-

ous and kind to the local charity, which is just miles away from the Brookhaven neighborhood near Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite. “With it being in our backyard, we feel a special connection to the families needing our help during difficult times.” For tickets to the Tour or to learn more about sponsorship opportunities and official event booklet ad sales, please call 678.704.8086 or visit ARMHC.org/brookhaven-tour-of-homes. About Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities: ARMHC is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization committed to nurturing the health and well-being of children and families. The two Atlanta Houses have provided a home away from home to more than 48,000 families since the first House opened in 1979. For more information about ARMHC, please visit ARMHC.org or call 404.315.1133.

2. ROGERS HOME Homeowners Alexia and Lin Rogers custom built this French Coun-

try style home in 2015 with Michael Ladisic and Architect Linda D’Orazio MacArthur. This incredible 6-bedroom, 10-bathroom home features both indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces wonderful for social gatherings with friends and family.

3. MULDOON HOME This beautiful Colonial/Traditional Cape Cod home was built in 2014 by Abbey Construction. Homeowners Regan and Terry Muldoon particularly enjoy the privacy of their home which includes several perfect outdoor entertaining areas. Another favorite feature is the in-law suite which gives a special ‘private getaway’ feel to the home.

4. WILLIAMS HOME Finished in 2013 by Ken Dooley of Tavern Properties, Alison and Josh Williams built their family home featuring 5 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. This Tudor-style home not only features a casual

5. CHILDS HOME

by backing up to Mason Park.

This Traditional-styled home of Natalie and Jim Childs was built by Davey Construction and designed by Frank G. Neely Design Associates in 2011.

he “It Girl” of Chile, whose TV career began when she was 10 years old, relocated to Brookhaven to break in to the American entertainment industry. Vesta Lugg, who was born in Ottawa, Canada,

and raised in Santiago, Chile, is best-known in Latin America for her starring role on “Bakan” or BKN, the longest running teen television show in Chile, often compared to Beverly Hills 90210. Now 21, Vesta has parlayed her role on BKN in to thriving careers in film, music, live entertainment, modeling and as a fashion and social media icon. (She recently appeared in a TV ad with Kendall Jenner). Vesta began writing and singing during her seven years on BKN, as her character was part of a band. Several episodes included a concert tour, and Vesta instantly clicked with the audience of 20,000+. In 2015, she released five songs on iTunes and Spotify, this year released a new video for her single, “Turn off the Lights,” and will release a new album this fall.
