Five Hot Fashion Trends for 2012 By Wendy Rose Gould Though it’s hard to believe we’ve already entered the new year, it’s time to get down to fashion-related business. Today we’re talking 2012 trends and I’m covering the hottest fashion trends this year has to offer. From 2012 color trends to the trendiest textiles and prints of the year, I’ve got you covered, ladies.

shoes. This 2012 color trend is a bold one, so I understand if it’s intimidating. Just give ‘er a go and you’ll find its an empowering hue to don. Animal Print Though most people conjure thoughts of the gaudy version of animal prints, you most certainly don’t have to buy cheap or garish to rock this look. Your best bet is to nod to the trend with small accessories like a zebra clutch, snakeskin shoe or leopard-lined camisole. A little goes a long way with this 2012 trend.

Feathers Yep - feathers are a hot commodity these days. My favorite part is that they provide a bit of earthy-meets-chic hippy to anyone who dons them. Wear feathers in your hair with a feather Vintage Jewelry plume (try Fine Featherheads The bigger the vintage jewelry or PlumeIt), attach them to your you wear, the better.

Spring 2012 Fashion Color Trends The Hot Colors of Spring and the Best Ways to Wear Them By ShawnTe Pierce During the spring 2012 fashion shows last September and October, different trends were seen. Yet it was still too early to figure out which trends would be dominant. As retailers begin to release pre-season merchandise it becomes evident which runway colors are the trend for spring 2012. Thanks to the company who knows color so well, Pantone, the dominate fashion color trends are now known. Check out the spring 2012 fashion color trends and a few tips on how to wear them successfully. The Colors of Spring from the Pantone Fashion Color Report There are nine dominate colors for spring. They are a mixture of brights, pastels and muted tones that feel like the season they represent. Brights: Solar Power (sunny yellow), Bellflower (bright violet/dark lavender), Cabaret (bright fuchsia/ hot pink), Tangerine Tango (bright reddish-orange) and Sodalite Blue (dark cobalt/bright navy) Pastels: Sweet Lilac (baby pink, pale lavender), Margarita (mint/light grass) and Cockatoo (aqua, light turquoise)

Muted Tones: Driftwood (muted Pewter/light charcoal) and Starfish (muted bronze taupe) How to Wear Spring’s Brights The brights of spring 2012 are bold and will add a pop of color to your wardrobe. You can pair these brights with neutral black or white for an easy look. However, go for the gusto and mix these brights together. The prints for spring feature these colors from pretty feminine florals to graphic athletic and tribal-influenced styles. Go for a colorblock spring sweater or tunic like the Payton Dolman Sleeve Colorblock Sweater in Pop Orange, $98.00 at Nordstrom. This sweater mixes bright orange with hot pink for a sherbet feel. Pair this sweater with white jeans and matching heels like Jessica Simpson ‘Evannan’ Platform in Bermuda Pink, $97.95 also at Nordstrom. Mix Pastels with Brights to Intensify Their Color Pastels are a spring staple. Seeing a mint green or baby pink frock is nothing new during this season. You can make your pastels pop with the color intensity their bright counterparts do when you pair a pastel and bright together. Lilly Pulitzer, the queen of prints (in

my opinion), is great at mixing colors like brights and pastels together to create a vibrant look. This is evident in her Cropped Cardigan ($98.00) and Strapless Embroidered Dress ($268.00) sold at Neiman Marcus. The dress is turquoise with dark coral embroidery along the top edge and left side sweeping into the hem. When you add the pink tomato cardigan to it, the dress appears brighter and more vibrant in color. This is a great effect to use to make older pastels look new again. Spring’s Muted Colors Bring a Fashionable Change Typically muted tones are relegated to office wear. Muted taupe trousers or light grey skirt suits are the norm for these tones. This spring muted tones are finding their way in of all places, swimwear as seen in the Fly Away Swimdress in Charcoal, $89.99 at Roaman’s. These soft muted tones are also making their way into spring denim in shades like pearl grey like the 5-Pocket Stretch Skinny Jeans in Pearl Grey from $34.99 to $39.99 at Woman Within. The great thing about

these muted tones is they can be paired flawlessly with spring’s brights and pastels. Think of soft taupe paired with baby pink or canary yellow with muted pewter. Whether you choose to pair spring’s hot colors together, purchase a colorblock garment or wear a vibrant print does not matter. These colors work well with each other and compliment many skin tones. If you are not one for wearing brights or pastels why not be daring and try out one of these hot colors for spring. It can be as simple as a scarf or colorful skirt. As always, whatever you choose inject your own unique style to make sure the look is totally you.

Trendy and Office-Appropriate Spring 2012 Fashions By Sylvie Branch The best time to think about spring fashions is while you are dealing with the effects of winter weather. Now is the time to dream of the fresh, crisp trends of spring 2012 and start adding pieces that compliment your current wardrobe. Fashion trends are not just for weekends, update your wardrobe to improve your confidence which in turn can boost your career. Sheath dress The sheath continues to be a way to look trendy and elegant at the same time. The simple sheath also makes getting ready for work simple. A well-made sheath like this banded sheath from Calvin Klein, will not only hold it’s value for a long time, it can be styled in several different ways giving you many workday options. Look for a straight dress that skims the body with a hem that hits right around the knee. Combine it with a cardigan, bolero or layer a button down shirt underneath for a completely different look. Simple, classic accessories like a pearl necklace and pumps is one way to complete an ensemble, while big bangle bracelets, a silk scarf in one of spring’s bold colors and a pair of knee high boots or wedge shoes for a completely different stylish spring look.

Crisp shirt dress Salt water taffy pastels and deep butterscotch yellow look trendy and new this spring 2012. These soft neutrals will flatter any skin tone and look their best in crisp shirt dresses according to designer Carmen Marc Valco. A simple pastel shirt dress is a good alternative to pants for casual Friday. Show that you can maintain your femininity while staying up-to-date and professional. Add a soft cardigan for those chilly air conditioned spaces. Color blocking Runways showing the new spring fashions were full of bold color blocked pieces. You can achieve this intense look by supplementing your current wardrobe with solid pieces. Deep hues like rich purple, oranges, blues and reds can be paired to create all new trendy office outfits for spring. If you are unsure how to do this on your own, remember to use no more than two or three colors at a time. You can add a bold, solid colored scarf and an equally bold, but different color pair of shoes to a solid sheath dress or pencil skirt and blouse combo. On the other hand you can simply purchase an easy to wear color blocked dress.

All wines are appropriate for all seasons. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying a simple white or crisp rosé in the winter, and big reds work all year long. But our diets change as the weather cools. Just as we look forward to watermelon and fresh-from-thegarden tomatoes in the summer, in winter we crave soups, stews, and roasts. So our go-to wines change, as well. This winter, I’m drinking Syrah. Syrah’s ancestral home is the Northern Rhone, where the classic wines of Cote Rotie and Hermitage are produced. The best wines from these regions still set the benchmark for the varietal. High-quality Syrah is wonderfully accessible, even in its youth. As Steve Heimoff, West Coast editor for Wine Enthusiast, recently explained, “I would describe a good Syrah as having the weight of Cabernet Sauvignon, but a little softer, and while both wines are marked by the aromas and flavors of blackberries, Syrah’s meaty, peppery notes distinguish it.” Heimoff’s description is spot-on. The blue and black fruit of a good Syrah will delight you, while the aromas of black pepper and meat will seduce you. The grape is capable of striking the perfect balance between power and finesse. Consequently, good Syrah works well with all sorts of food. Syrah also represents a great value. Over the past few years, sales of the varietal have dropped steadily, leading many California winemakers to joke that that it’s easier to get rid of a case of pneumonia than a case of Syrah. Consumer preference partially explains this drop. Although many Cali-

fornia winemakers have spent the past decade hoping that Syrah would be the state’s next great varietal, consumers remain more interested in Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Consumer confusion also explains the slide in demand. Even wine connoisseurs have a difficult time distinguishing between Syrah and Shiraz. Technically, the only difference between the two is location. When Syrah was taken to Australia in the mid-1800s, local winemakers started calling the grape “Shiraz,” and the name stuck. The climate is quite different in Australia, though, so the grape tends to produce riper, fruitier wines with higher alcohol and lower acid. Generally speaking, these are your prototypical “fruit bombs” -- they can be deliciously hedonistic, but even the best ones are difficult to pair with most meals. Across Europe, the United States, and most everywhere else, vintners call the variety “Syrah.” When winemakers use the Australian moniker -- as they often do in New Zealand and South Africa, and sometimes in the United States -- they’re typically trying to convey that they’re making the wine in the archetypical Australian style. Consumers also confuse Syrah with Petite Sirah. While the grapes are distant relatives, they’re completely different. As a result of these factors, good Syrah is generally quite affordable -- especially when compared to other varietals. n the United States, many of the best Syrahs come from vineyards along California’s coast -- from the Santa Ynez Valley and Paso Robles along the Central Coast, to the Santa Lucia Highlands in Monterey, to the

Russian River Valley and Dry Creek in Sonoma. In Washington, stunning Syrahs are coming from the Columbia Valley and Walla Walla Valley, and Oregon’s Rogue Valley is producing many impressive wines. You’ll notice that all these areas are relatively cool. Although Syrah is a farmer’s dream -- reasonably easy to grow and fairly resistant to disease -- it shines when grown in cooler areas, resulting in complex, vibrant, more aromatic wines. When grown in warmer climates, it’s too easy to produce Syrahs that are flabby and raisiny. At your local wine shop, Qupe’s “Central Coast” Syrah is an excellent wine for $15 -- and for just a few dollars more, you can explore Syrahs from producers like Landmark and Rosenblum. If you’re interested in exploring some smaller, family wineries -- and live in a state where you can order wine online -- Novy Family Wines and Cabot Vineyards are two fantastic producers that make affordable Syrah.

Literacy Project “Fore Dreams” A Swinging Success! The glistening Pacific Coast and picturesque views on the South Course at Pelican Hill Golf Club were the perfect setting for the Literacy Project Foundation (LPF) to host their first annual golf tournament. The “Fore Dreams” field of golfers experienced a first class tournament event with personal caddies accompanying each foursome, luxury premiums in signature duffel bags, and were given a warm welcome by Rockstar Energy Drink Models sporting Scottish outfits of golf berets and suspenders. The objective of the “Fore Dreams” Pacific Coast Invitation was to bring together passionate supporters who care to give students with lesser means the gift of literacy. The event also raised awareness for LPF’s mission to implement “GET SET READ!” literacy programs into classrooms, after-school environments, and nonprofit organizations that serve underprivileged children facing challenges of illiteracy and improve their reading skills level…free of charge! After a gorgeous day of golf on one of the Top 100 US Public Golf Courses (Golf Magazine), the 225 guest crowd of golfers, wives and friends gathered for dinner and dancing in the exquisite Mar Vita Ballroom accompanied by the live sounds of “Mr. J”. The festivities began with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on the balcony overlooking beautiful, panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. While the sun set, guests moved inside to enjoy a four-course Pelican Hill Resort surf and turf gourmet dinner complimented by exquisite wines. The program began with co-chairs Jeannie Lawrence and Sue Tucker introducing the winning teams and presenting awards. Sponsor Gary Brewer of Digital Eye Studios and his teammates Gary Barker, Steve Golan, and Tom Fashing took first place in the Four Player Scramble with a low score of 55. Paul Fuzzard, Jeff Fuzzard, Kevin Kelly, and Brian Cameron came in 2nd and Steve Johnson, Drew Mumford, Gary Lastinger, and Mitch Wright settle for 3rd. Major sponsors recognized included First Foundation Advisors, Safety Supply America, Rockstar Energy Drink, Riviera Magazine, Rancho Las Lomas, Digital Eye Media , Pelican Hill Resort, Svedka Vodka, Strategic Perception, Inc., Janie Merkle/Re/Max Fine Homes, and Pascal Restaurants. Following the awards was an inspiring presentation by LPF’s Master Teacher Neil Carter. Carter touched on real life stories of underprivileged children lacking the confidence and skills needed to read effectively. He educated the crowd on the benefits of LPF and brought the crisis of struggling at risk students who could become illiterate adults to the forefront. After Carter’s statement on the significant impact the Foundation makes on these kinds of kids, auctioneer Jim Nye started the paddle action to ask for support. One of the most amazing parts of the night was when Nye warmed up the crowd’s bidding by auctioning off a full glass of water! Supporter Dave Wheeler and LPF Co-Founder Steve Tucker battled the top bid to $1,000 and then settled by each matching the bid, making a total contribution of $2,000 for an 8 oz. of Newport’s finest H20. After auction paddles flashed left and right raising an additional $5,500, three spectacular high value items with a combined value of over $14,000 were auction live. Janie Merkle won an Exclusive Wine Dinner at Rancho Las Lomas featuring Executive Chef Pascal Olhats. Drew Mumford took home a Pelican Hill Weekend Golf Get-away and Oma Tally won a seven-night Windstar Caribbean Cruise. Additionally, guest bid on an array of silent auction prizes varying from fine wine and signed memorabilia to romantic getaways. Hollywood resident Fred Davis III of Strategic Perception, Inc. stated, “Pelican was gorgeous, the activities imaginative, the after-party with Mr. J’s band the best ever! And, this was your FIRST year? Can only imagine what Page 8

Adopting a Shelter Pet If you’re thinking about getting a new pet, consider going to an animal shelter to find that new family member. There are about 3,500 shelters in the United States that serve an estimated 5 to 7 million homeless animals, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Why adopt from a shelter? You will make a pet happy. By adopting from a private humane society or animal shelter, breed rescue group, or the local animal control agency, you’ll help a homeless pet find a new home. You will receive a healthy pet. Most shelters follow strict medical protocols including examinations when pets come in and vaccinations before they leave. In addition to medical care, shelters also screen animals for specific temperaments and behaviors to match each pet with the perfect family. Animal shelters have happy, healthy pets just waiting for someone to take them home. You will support your community and save money at the same time. Adopting from an animal shelter is usually less expensive, as your local shelter will just ask for a moderate adoption fee that will mainly cover basic routine medical care costs. Shelter pets are also usually already spayed or neutered and vaccinated. Finally, you help promote responsible pet ownership through your community.

Spaying/neutering – Most shelters have policies to make sure that animals leave spayed or neutered. Some take care of this before the animals are available for adoption. Others schedule the procedure when the animal goes home and either finalize the adoption once it is performed, or refund the spay/neuter deposit once proof is provided. Every dog and cat deserves a home. When you adopt from a shelter, you provide a pet with another chance at finding love and a forever home.

John Tartaglia’s ImaginOcean Takes Children on a Magical ImaginOcean, a one-of-a-kind live black-light puppet show created by John Tartaglia, will make its Segerstrom Center for the Arts debut in the popular Family Series February 4 and 5 in Samueli Theater. John Tartaglia’s ImaginOcean follows sea creatures Tank, Bubbles and Dorsel and three best friends who just happen to be fish, as they set off on a remarkable journey of discovery. And it all starts with a treasure map. As they swim off in search of clues, they’ll sing, they’ll dance and they’ll make new friends, including everyone in the audience. Ultimately they discover the greatest treasure of all: friendship. Jam-packed with original music ranging from big band to R&B, ImaginOcean is a blast – from the first big splash to the last wave goodbye. Time Out New York KIDS called this colorful and wonderfully imaginative family-friendly show “absolutely magical,” and BroadwayWorld.com said it was “perfectly delightful.” Each performance will include free pre-show creative play activities and a reading area with an assortment of children’s books, beginning one hour before each performance. The Page 12

Center’s Education and Community Programs Department is offering these activities to provide young people and their parents more opportunities to play creatively together. Studies show creative play is critical in helping children develop their ability to think and problem solve. ImaginOcean is recommended for children ages 4 – 8. Tickets are $20 and are available online at SCFTA. org, at the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling (714) 556-2787. For inquiries about group ticket discounts for 15 or more, call the Group Services office at (714) 755-0236. The TTY number is (714) 5562746. The performance on Sunday, February at 1 p.m. will be signlanguage interpreted. Segerstrom Center for the Arts applauds The Charles & Mildred Schnurmacher Foundation, Inc. for

being the sponsor of the 2011-2012 Family Series. OC Family is the Media Partner of the Family Series. Tartaglia earned a Tony® Award nomination for his performance in the Tony-winning Broadway musical, Avenue Q, for which he originated the roles of Princeton and Rod. He has appeared in many other Broadway productions including Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (Lumiere) and Shrek

the Musical (Pinocchio). A 10-year veteran of Sesame Street, Tartaglia was one of the youngest puppeteers ever to perform on the show, starting at the age of 16. He has also been seen on Disney Channel’s Bear in the Big Blue House and JoJo’s Circus as well as Discovery Channel’s Animal Jam. He is a former host of the New York Philharmonic Young People’s Concerts.

BRUCH’S VIOLIN CONCERTO IGNITES WITH PASSION IN THE HANDS OF DYNAMIC VIRTUOSO NICOLA BENEDETTI

Classic masterpieces soar with sizzling new energy as Pacific Symphony introduces two hot young stars to Orange County for the concert “Beethoven and Benedetti.” First, the very beautiful and highly captivating violin virtuoso Nicola Benedetti, at just 24 years old, wraps her arms around the ardor and Romanticism of Bruch’s most-famous Violin Concerto No. 1, which she recorded on Decca records with the Czech Philharmonic in 2010. “Nicola Benedetti is one of the youngest and most alluring of this species [violinists] to emerge in the past decade.”—Limelight Magazine. Then, internationally acclaimed conductor Christoph König leads the Symphony on the sublime and lyrical journey of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4, a profound and joyous piece often overshadowed by his third and fifth symphonies. Opening the concert, Debussy’s Petite Suite, originally written for four-hand piano, creates a rocking, dreamlike sail beneath the moonlight. Taking place Thursday through Saturday, Feb. 2-4, at 8 p.m, the concert’s preview talk with Alan Chapman begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25-$110; for more information or to purchase tickets call 714-755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org. “Benedetti plays with brilliant virtuPage 14

osity, absolute clarity, and a gentle, dolce tone that makes her performances especially personal and attractive.”—Allmusic.com “My own interpretation of any given piece is never consistent,” says Benedetti. “Each time I perform a work, something changes. It’s not because I am trying to do anything different, but instead because varying emotions, environments, musical partnerships and acoustics inspire different approaches. It’s a natural process that I think is necessary in order to give an honest performance. “What I like most about the Bruch concerto is its optimism and openness, with the exception of certain troubled moments in the first movement. The second movement is undoubtedly the heart of this concerto and is in my opinion the reason the concerto deserves the popularity it holds.” The Symphony’s 2011-12 season—dubbed the “Year of the Violin” by Music Director Carl St.Clair— features three key Romantic violin concertos, Mendelssohn’s (premiered in1845), Tchaikovsky’s (1878) and Bruch’s (1868), which falls in the middle with its powerful emotional pull, overarching drama and double- and

The Ladera Ranch News

triple-stops demanding the virtuosity of Benedetti. “The Germans have four violin concertos. The greatest, most uncompromising is Beethoven’s. The one by Brahms vies with it in seriousness. The richest, the most seductive, was written by Max Bruch…” said the great violinist Joseph Joachim, who performed the premiere of Bruch’s concerto. Violinist Benedetti has captivated audiences and critics alike with her musicality and poise, winning the BBC Young Musician of the Year in 2004, making her Proms debut in 2010 and recording multiple records on the Decca label. Her new album “Italia” releases in the U.S. on Jan. 24, and explores Baroque masterpieces from her Italian homeland (although she now lives in Scotland) including Vivaldi and Tartini. Playing the 1712 Earl Spencer Stradivarius courtesy of Jonathan Moulds, Benedetti’s 201112 season includes her debut with the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) at the Enescu Festival in Bucharest and with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, Zurich Chamber, Cincinnati Symphony, Detroit Symphony and Hallé orchestras. Benedetti is also widely respected

for her committment to working with young people. In 2010, she became involved in El Sistema Scotland’s Big Noise project. As a board member and the program’s official musical “Big Sister,” Benedetti makes regular visits to Raploch, Scotland, to conduct master classes and work closely with the children. König is a conductor of deep intelligence and musicality. His conducting is marked by an energetic and serious approach to musical collaboration and a commitment to thoughtful and stimulating programming. He currently holds positions as principal conductor of the Orquestra Sinfónica do Porto Casa da Música (2009-14) in Portugal and principal conductor and music director of the Solistes Européens, Luxembourg. In Porto, he is currently conducting a Mahler cycle, which included a performance of Symphony No. 1 at the Vienna Konzerthaus last season, followed by tours in Brazil (July 2011) and northern Europe (October 2011). Pacific Symphony’s Classical series performances are made possible by the Hal and Jeanette Segerstrom Family Foundation, with additional support from American Airlines, The Westin South Coast Plaza, KUSC and PBS SoCal.
