Introducing Five Totally Wearable Trends for Fall Fashion 2013 By Laurie Jo Miller Farr Fashion designers, buyers, and store window dressers are well into their preparations for autumn 2013. Sometimes called pre-fall fashion, let’s have a look at five of the runway’s most practical, wearable trends for the season ahead. Mad for plaid The trend of stripes and polka dots that dominated the runways for spring and summer is being replaced by mad for plaid. European designers such as Stella McCartney, Dries Van Noten, and Chanel are leading the way on this one, so don’t be surprised to see plaid called tartan. Work it and mix it in skirts, jackets, coats, blouses, scarves. It’s an easy trend to wear if you keep the pattern small scale and the fabric lightweight to avoid the lumberjack look. Menswear classics The menswear trend for women is connected to plaids through fabric patterns like a Prince of Wales check, sometimes called glen plaid or houndstooth. Made popular by the terribly fashion-conscious Duke of Windsor in the ‘30s when his title
was Prince of Wales, it’s a fashion staple that whispers good taste. Not so quiet, expect to see Banana Republic adding a flash of girly pink to that classic grey check. From a preppy Tommy Hilfiger to a hip Rag & Bone, the memo on houndstooth has been received. Pop on a peplum Create instant curves for a boyish figure, and cinch in the waist on a dress or jacket. It’s not for everyone, but it is a favorite look for Gwyneth Paltrow, Victoria Beckham, and Kate Middleton. Jason Wu even pulls off a sweet peplum on trousers for evening wear. Ladylike leather Look for leather pieces, worn more loosely than you’ve seen in the past, and made affordable, too. Spend less than $200 for a leather motorcycle jacket at Old Navy or a faux leather top from Topshop for $76. Elizabeth and James is showing leather overalls, and even at $1,295 Top it off they’ve been popular at Saks Fifth Do you love hats? You’re in style Avenue online. If you’re feeling shy and you’re in luck. From beanies to about head-to-toe leather, go for a baseball caps to French berets, put skirt with leather piping accents. a lid on it to look smack up to date
this autumn. Menswear fedoras? Definitely yes. Go for anything smallish and understated atop the head. (Sorry, Princess Beatrice.) Happy shopping!

Melissa Matters The moto trend is big for fall 2013. In fact, Cosmopolitan says a moto jacket and leather pants are two of the 20 things you “need” for fall 2013. I suppose you could survive without a new jacket and pants. However, if you are planning to go shopping soon, why not purchase some fall trends? I’m loving all the biker jackets, vegan leather and cute boots. I saw the moto trend at almost every store I walked into or browsed online in September. The best part is there are versions of this fall fashion trend for all ages and budgets. Here are five ways to wear the moto trend. Feminine Flair For fall fashion 2013, my favorite way to wear the moto trend is with a feminine dress and a moto jacket. Some tights, a loose bun and delicate earrings keep this look from being too tough. Try this quilted moto jacket from Anthropologie on for size. Florals are popular for fall so it’s easy to pair these two looks together. Top off your outfit with some moto boots. Bold Color While black moto jackets a r e p o p u l a r,
there are many beautiful, vibrant ways to wear this trend. Green, red or sapphire jackets are a great way to add a pop of color to an all black ensemble. I love this teal moto jacket from Zappos paired with a simple white tee and dark jeans. So chic! Of course, for fall 2013, it’s also okay to step it up a notch and match your jacket to your pants. A Touch of Leather I’ll be honest. I’m not going to show up to a parent-teacher conferences in leather pants and a moto jacket. However, there are many understated moto pieces for more conservative dressers. Shirts with leather stripes or patches of leather on the shoulders are subtle ways to rock the moto trend. Fake It If you’re like me and try to stay away from leather, you can still wear
the moto trend. There are vegan leather and Polyurethane options. You can also find moto jackets made from cotton, tweed or pretty much anything. Staying away from real leather is likely to be easier on your wallet too. Forever 21 has a moto jacket for under $25. Leather Pants I know. You’re thinking of Olivia Newton John’s skintight leather pants in Grease. However, leather leggings can be surprisingly sophisticated. Try these vegan leather leggings for a versatile pair of pants. Wear them with a silky collared shirt and a blazer for a polished look. Of course, if you want to wear a rocker shirt with high heels, you can do that too! There are plenty of moto trends in the stores now. So go ahead and start your fall shopping!
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart. ~Helen Keller The Ladera Ranch News

local dentist Michael tessier says avoiding tooth decay is getting easier than ever before Years ago some of the reasons people gave for not having the cavities in our teeth filled were:” the “shot”, the “the “drill”, the “numbness”, the pain” Dr. Michael Tessier associated with old-time dentistry. But, by using the Whisper Jet, a micro miniature sandblaster using 50 micron-size particles of aluminum oxide, and the Waterlase MD Laser, we get your fillings completed without anesthetic, and with no pain, because of today’s technology, Remembering that the decay process starts with acid-induced demineralization of the enamel of the teeth, here are some ways to avoid the need for dental work: Go to the dentist every six monthsfrequent visits help avoid big problems. Avoid industrially-manufactured foods, like chips or cookies or crackers. Instead, or after, eat raw carrots, celery or apples. Real foods have larger, fibrous particles which actually clean decay-producing sugars off the teeth). Avoid soft drinks, sweetened or otherwise. Instead, drink water, fluoridated or not. Chew sugarless gum. This stimulates acid-neutralizing saliva which counteracts the acidic end-products of bacterial metabolism that cause decay, and mechanically cleans the teeth.
Brush properly with fluoride toothpaste. Floss daily. That little point contact where adjacent teeth touch each other is not accessible to a toothbrush bristle. Remember, you only have to floss the ones you want to keep. By the way, there’s a significant link between the phosphoric acid used as a preservative in dark soft drinks and Alzheimer’s. Another reason to avoid them. We recently found a hard candy that’s sweetened with a Xylitol that coats the teeth with a decay-reducing micro-film. Something like fifteen flavors, no aftertaste. Good Stuff. There is a genetic pre-disposition to susceptibility to decay. Some people get cavities irrespective of how well they take care of their teeth; some people don’t take care of their teeth at all, and still never get cavities. It isn’t necessarily fair (how much in life is?), but the above can help. “The more I work with the laser and the sandblaster, filling teeth without the need for drilling and therefore anesthetic, the more I realize how much dentistry has changed over the last 30 years. When the drill and the carbide burr were our only cutting options, we made it more likely that, in their later adult hood, these teeth would crack, ultimately needing crowns. Today, we’re leaving these teeth stronger. This stuff is great,” he says with a smile. Dr. Michael Tessier is located in Los Flores Plaza at 28562 Oso Parkway.

FIRE CHIEF SAM DIGIOVANNA WITH AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION FOR SPORTS RELATED INJURIES School is now back in session and along with it comes sports! With over 30 million youths participating in sports, injuries are very likely to occur. Most sports related injuries can be prevented with some basic preventive measures says Fire Chief Sam DiGiovanna. Keeping in shape “prior” to the season is a good start. It’s still hot so take it easy on hot or humid days and keep hydrated. Warm-up prior to engaging is also important. Many schools require a physical exam before starting a school sport. Check with your child’s school. You may even want to have your child get a physical from your family physician. Some common injuries include but not limited injuries such as Concussions. A direct blow to the head or a hit to the body that causes the head to jerk back quickly can result in a concussion. Signs and symptoms may include a loss of consciousness. Heat illness. Extreme temperatures, particularly when combined with high humidity or intense sunlight,
can interfere with the body’s normal ways of regulating temperature. Heat illnesses, including heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heatstroke, occur mostly outside and during the summer but can happen anytime or anywhere. Orthopedic injuries. Sprains, strains, growth-plate fractures (damage to areas of cartilage near the ends of developing bones), tendinitis and other injuries to bones, ligaments and joints can be caused by falls, but also by overtraining in one sport. Knee injuries are also among the most costly. The sports with the worst knee injury rate are football and wrestling among boys, and basketball and soccer for girls. Make sure you check with your school district and ensure your child is prepared before participating in school sports.

His children and grandchildren are artists as well, including Chris (best known as a musician), Eric, a potter, and Elizabeth Darrow Jones. He is the proud head of this eclectic clan that all seem to have inherited the Darrow gifts. As a cartoonist for the Claremont Courier he has contributed a couple of cartoons a week for over 50 years. As a fine artist he has had numerous one person shows including a show in Memorial park in Claremont this spring. He was included recently in shows at the Pasadena Art Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art during the Getty-sponsored Pacific Standard Time exhibits. Paul’s fine artwork is abstract. Based in experimentation and Buddhism, he seeks to discover the profound in the detritus, the clarity in the deliberately obscure, and the complex truth in simplicity. Using a variety of materials and techniques, Paul juxtaposes previously unrelated objects to create new meanings, The Ladera Ranch News

Fall Fashion Essentials that Need to Be in Your Closet for 2013 By Melissa Matters I have been scouting out the new arrivals for fall 2013. My wish list is already pretty long. Yet, before I go shopping for fall fashions, it’s time for me to move my tank tops to the back of my closet. In their place, I’ll be placing comfortable, long sleeve shirts along with stretchy leggings. Of course, some emerald cords, a peplum top and the perfect dropwaist dress are just a few things I’ll be shopping for this fall. Here are some fall fashions that need to be in your closet this year. Military Inspiration Glamour.com states that there was a “strong military presence” at the 2013 fall fashion week. Army green is one of my favorite colors so I’m giddy with glee. For this trend, you can go with a classic structured military jacket. However, don’t be afraid to combine the military look with feminine details like lace. Emerald Green Emerald is a rich color that will turn heads. A satin, emerald dress with some black lace is elegant. However, you can also wear emerald with casual styles. Some emerald skinny jeans can be balanced with a black or
white shirt. A lace emerald shirt can be worn under a blazer for work and then out for dinner on Friday night. Peplum Peplum is certainly not a new fashion. However, it’s still stylish for fall 2013. For this season, try a print like this navy one from Anthropologie. Peplum tops look nice paired with some tailored shorts, skinny pants or a pencil skirt. You can also wear a peplum skirt with a fitted shirt (tucked in) and a thin belt. Gray According to Harper’s Baazar, New York fall fashion week 2013 featured gray as the “new neutral.” Thus, rather than grabbing black leggings and tanks, I’ll think I will go for gray this year. Charcoal grey is slightly softer than black and a welcome change. Gray trousers, a blazer or a cardigan and some gray velvet ballet flats are a few good pieces to have in your fall wardrobe. Color block The colorblock trend is great for those who want a little more color in their lives. I love how I can wear a lighter color on top and a darker color around the waist. It’s very slimming. This colorblock shift from Anthropologie is perfect. I’m also going to pick up some basic tees

with bright colorblocking on the body or arms to add more color to my wardrobe. Dropwaist Dress The dropwaist dress was a spring 2013 trend that has been carried into the fall. Personally, I love drop waist dresses because it can conceal a little bit of extra in the stomach. At the same time, it can show off tan summer legs. For cooler days, it can be paired with tights and some ankle boots. For fall, try a long sleeved version in a fun print like this one from Dolce Vita. I can’t wait to go shopping for some of these fall fashion essentials.

Dear andy & Joanne: Thank you for the remarkable job you did marketing our Coto Country Home. After interviewing 7 qualified seasoned Coto brokers I received one of your high quality postcard mailers for a house costing more than 3 times as much as my home. Though ready to select one of those other brokers I decided to first seek an interview with you. Your professionalism was obvious within minutes of our first meeting, it set you apart, and it never wavered during the 8 weeks that passed between signing the listing agreement to completing a 21 day non-contingent, all-cash closing escrow. You did what you said you would do; never relying on an associate or newbie to do your work. We hired you, we got you and you delivered! In doing so, you did set a record for the highest price paid in the neighborhood since 2008. Wow, what a performance! Yours truly, William and Donna Todd

The menu included Red Thai Curry Chicken Rice Noodles, Kofta Sliders with a Japapeno Tsatziki Slaw, Tuna Tartare and Parmesan Truffle Fry Conettes, Charred Halloumi Cynthia Spivak of AIDS Services Foundation of Orange County with Canapés topped with an Heirloom Tomato Compote, Tender Brisket served Marc Pridmore and Joe Pham of Marc Pridmore Designs over a Brioche Canape topped with fresh Arugula, Pickled Apples, Pickled Red Onion and finished with Crumbled Stilton. After the crowd had ample time to peruse the design showroom they made their way to the elaborate Betinnis runway fashion show that featured the latest Fall collections from world renowned designers like; Sivalla, Highnotes by Natasha Marin, Joseph Ribkoff, Alberto Micali and Talia Hancock among many others. Wilhelmina male models and owner of West Coast Arborist Pat Mahoney, Natasha Marin-world renowned pianist, Miss San Diego 2013, Kelsey Schwarz and a selection of Betinnis models including Loren Blackwood of Newport Beach Winery and Elizabeth Jocson, made their way down the run way in the latest fashions supplied by Betinnis Fashions of Brea. Live and silent auction items also contributed to the fundraising with fun items like VIP Emmy tickets, Napa wine tour tickets and dinner/wine tasting for 12 from Newport Beach Winery. One lucky attendee, Beth Haney, DNP and author of Be You-T-Full, bid and won 2 tickets in the orchestra section Loren Blackwood Lisa Hart with Natasha Marin, to see Burt Bacharach with the Segerstrom family. “My Mom is going to be Designer of Highnotes Fashions so excited”, said Beth Haney. One lucky winner bid to be part of the lavish fashion show paying $1,000 to be dressed in designer clothes complete with hair and make-up and strut down the runway a la Tyra Banks! Emcee and auctioneer for the evening was Tom McCoy who kept the crowd’s attention. AIDS Services Foundation Executive Director Phil Yeager was introduced; he spoke about the importance of the organization and how events such as this one really help with awareness along with much needed funds that are needed here in Orange County. Chadia Almeddin, Owner of Betinnis said, “This fashion show is very special. It makes me very happy to be able to contribute to the cause and help in the efforts of finding a cure”. AIDS Services Foundation Orange County’s mission is to prevent the spread of HIV and improve the lives of men, women, and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Orange County. ASF has helped more than 1,600 men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Orange County. For more information visit their website at www.ocasf.org. Zai Holder and Chadia Almeddin Page 12

Potted Potter At The Irvine Barclay Theatre Irvine Barclay Theatre today announced an engagement of Potted Potter, the unauthorized Harry Experience, a parody by Dan and Jeff, for four performances only, Thursday, November 14-Saturday, November 16, 2013. Written and performed by two-time Olivier Award-nominated actors Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, Potted Potter is perfect for ages six to Dumbledore (who is very old indeed). This engagement is the show’s Southern California premiere. Potted Potter is presented by Irvine Barclay Theatre and is produced by Starvox Entertainment and Marketing. Playing to sold-out houses all over the world, the Olivier Awardnominated Potted Potter takes on the ultimate challenge of condensing all seven Harry Potter books (and a game of Quidditch with the audience) into seventy fun-filled minutes. Even if you don’t know the difference between a Horcrux and a Hufflepuff, the silly magic of Potted Potter will have you in its spell. Audience members are invited to come early. Doors will open an hour before each show with a variety of pre-show activities and special Potter menu items at the concessions bar. Potted Potter was first created as a five minute long, two-man show
to entertain bookstore customers waiting in line to purchase the sixth book in the series and was then a comic summary of the first five books. Since then, the piece has been expanded and performed by Children’s BBC host team Clarkson and Turner literally thousands of times – at the Edinburgh Festival, in the West End, off Broadway and across America to much acclaim. A critic’s Pick by the New York Times, New York Magazine, and Time Out London, Potted Potter won
the prestigious 2012 Olivier Award nomination for Best Entertainment & Family Show. The New York Times said, “The flavor is Monty Python meets vaudeville…Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Turner do indeed tell an abbreviated, ridiculous version of the Boy Who Lived… You don’t need to know all the nuances of Hogwarts to enjoy the jokes... Besides, if you miss something, another laugh will be along shortly…The duo cast the perfect spell over the audience.”
Irvine Barclay’s President Doug Rankin said, “The Barclay is thrilled to be able to bring Potted Potter to southern California for the area premiere. I’m a big fan of the books, and now I’m a fan of Dan and Jeff and their fresh, fun take on the Harry Potter lore.” Tickets (Adults $45.00; Children $35.00) can be purchased at the Irvine Barclay Theatre, 4242 Campus Drive, Irvine CA, online at www.thebarclay. org, or by calling 949.854.4646.
COYOTE PREVENTION MEASURES FOR CITIZENS Easy ways to discourage coyotes in your neighborhood Due to an increase in calls by local residents concerning coyote sightings, the Animal Shelter would like to remind residents of some key prevention measures. Coyotes can be found in any open space, parks, neighborhoods and even commercial areas. As residents and their pets spend more time outdoors, the possibility of a coyote encounter increases. To allow coyotes to remain wild while keeping yourself and pets safe, please try to follow these pointers: • Never feed coyotes. It is illegal to feed coyotes in most places. Feeding endangers your family and neighbors as it lures coyotes into neighborhoods. • Keep unattended cats and dogs indoors or in completely enclosed runs, especially at night, and do not assume that a fence will keep a coyote out of your backyard. • Accompany your leashed pet outside. Make sure you turn on lights if it is dark to check your backyard for unexpected wildlife. Page 14
• Keep dogs on short leashes while walking outside; the Division of Wildlife recommends a leash no longer than 6 feet, which is also required by City Ordinances. • Leave noisemakers on hand to scare away coyotes, such as whistles and horns. Motion activated sprinklers will also deter any wildlife from entering your yard. • Don’t run away or turn your back on a coyote. • Do not allow a coyote to get in between you and your pet or child. Keep children close to you. • Yell, clap hands, blow a whistle and try to make yourself look larger if you have a close encounter with a coyote. Make a mental note of where and when you have encountered a coyote. Coyotes often follow routines. Try avoiding this area in the future if the encounter was negative. Habituated coyotes can sometimes be a neighborhood issue. Make sure attractants such as fallen fruit, pet food left outside, dirty barbecue grills,
The Ladera Ranch News
and unsecured trash are removed so that negative coyote interactions are minimized. Always make sure no one is intentionally feeding coyotes. Although sometimes thought of as a nuisance, coyotes play a vital role in our ecosystem, helping to keep the rodent populations under control.

I-5 Upgrade Plans In South O.C. Ready For Review Comments are now being accepted on the environmental documents and a public hearing is slated for Sept. 25 ORANGE – Residents, commuters and others interested in traffic in south Orange County are invited to review and comment on plans to upgrade the San Diego Freeway (I-5) between the San Joaquin Hills Toll Road (SR-73) and El Toro Road. Caltrans, in partnership with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), released a report Friday that assesses how the proposed project will affect the environment. Called the initial study / environmental assessment, the report shows the project will not have significant negative effects on the quality of the environment. The report is available for review and comment at various Orange County Public Library branches in south Orange County and online at www. dot.ca.gov/dist12/files/5Widening. A public hearing for the community to review, ask questions and provide comments on the project is planned from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday Sept. 25 at the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center at 24932 Veterans Way in Mission Viejo. Page 16
The proposed project would cost approximately $500 million, funded through Measure M, Orange County’s half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements, as well as federal dollars. The proposed improvements
The Ladera Ranch News
will increase capacity and improve operations on I-5 and include reconstructing interchanges that will enhance traffic flow La Paz Road and Avery Parkway. Comments on the environmental report may be submitted by mail to
Gabriela Jauregui, Caltrans District 12 at 3347 Michelson Dr., Suite 100, Irvine CA, 92612-8894 or by e-mail at D12.5Widening@dot.ca.gov For more information, visit www. octa.net/I5eltoro.

Becoming a Fashion Designer: Choosing Your Apparel Niche
By ShawnTe Pierce I have read quite a few articles on people toting DIY fashion advice, “Starting your Own Fashion Business,” creating your own designs, etc and they offer high level advice, but where is the meat? By meat I am referring to critical knowledge that serious fashion designers possess. For the purpose of this article, we will go over the different types of designers and you can decide where you fit in. What Style(s) of Clothing are You Interested in? There are three major styles of clothing to design for - Children’s Wear, Menswear, and Women’s Wear. Each of these three styles have sub-styles within them based upon gender for children’s wear and age and size groupings primarily for the Men’s and Women’s fashions. Knowing which one you want to design for will help you focus more clearly on the different aspects of each style. Children’s Wear Clothing for children may seem very simple at first but different rules and techniques come into play. One of the most overlooked aspects of designing for children is age appropriateness. You must understand that you are designing for children and the style has to be appropriate. I often see many children’s clothing as just a miniature version of their adult counterparts. Sometimes this is ok, Page 18
however you must also maintain a socially conscious outlook when designing for children. Do you design a pair of Speedos or a string bikini for toddlers and ages 6 thru 12? Menswear Menswear requires knowing the basic silhouette of a man. Also menswear tends to be more functional. For example, men’s pants and jackets have functional pockets. The reason for this is because men use wallets, so pockets that are deep enough to hold and hide the wallet from sight are needed. Men’s clothing is traditionally more tailored than women’s clothing. These are some aspects to consider for those wishing to design for this style of clothing. Women’s Wear This style of clothing has the most variety and potential for new ideas, which is why it is also the most popular style to design for. Pretty much anything goes in this style of clothing. Only a few rules maintain over the course of women’s fashion, some are as follows: 1. Women’s fashions close, right over left. 2. 4 critical measurements taken: bust, waist, hip, and inseam
Once you know which type of clothing you want to design in, what role or type of designer are going to be? If you are hands on then you are simply a fashion designer meaning you are in charge and know how to execute every step in the design process. However, if you are only good at coming up with the concept, illustrating it, and picking out fabric, then maybe a role as concept designer or head designer is where your focus should lay. If you are not so good with artistically rendering the concept but are good with technically rendering it, know how the pieces of the design should be cut, laid out, and sewn, then a career as a technical designer may right up your alley. What Knowledge is Critical for a Career in Fashion Design? The following list begins with what I believe are the critical “must knows” of fashion design followed by the optional but important “should knows”: 1. Must know the silhouette of your niche - meaning you must know the form of either a child’s, man’s or woman’s body 2. Must know fabric - you need to know how fabric works and responds in relation to your design 3. Always have to account for 3. Must know rendering - in order stress points such as in the bust and for you or anyone else to be able to hip areas follow your concept, you must render What Type of Designer Do You it clearly enough for someone to Wish to Become? either work directly from it to create
The Ladera Ranch News
the finished product or be able to render a technical drawing from it. 4. Should know how to make a flat or technical drawing of your design. 5. Should know how to drape and/ or create a hand drawn flat of your design in order make a pattern for assembly. 6. Should be able to transfer pattern onto fabric and cut it out. 7. Should know the order by which each piece of the pattern is to be assembled. 8. Should know how to sew. Both machine and hand sewing These eight skills can be obtained via college courses, on the job experience, or learning on your own with the aid of textbooks and mentoring. Unless you work for a design company already and are obtaining on the job experience, it is almost impossible nowadays to get any level of design job without a college degree in a design related course of study. This article is by no means a complete overview of a career in fashion design. However, the intent is to lead those seriously considering a career in fashion in the right direction. For a list of schools that offer fashion design programs visit FashionSchools.com or for a complete list of every accredited university that has a fashion program you can order a directory from the National Association of Schools of Art and Design for a fee.
