Pamela Hornbeck
Jennifer Pearse Erceg
Owner of The Mix in Mandeville, Pamela Hornbeck has a schedule that would exhaust most women. At The Mix, she offers men’s and women’s clothing and accessories and one of the largest Vera Bradley selections in Louisiana. Under the same roof as The Mix, Pamela, a medical aesthetician, has her skincare clinic, Skin Deep, and Fantasy Tans, an amazing spray tan service. She is also a broker at the Southern Realty Group. Pamela’s proudest job of all is being mother to her two children, Jacob and Blair. They motivate her to keep the pace she does. “I want to show them that with hard work, determination and a little vision, your dreams can come true.” When customers walk into The Mix, they are thrilled to find it warm and inviting, filled with one-of-a-kind clothes for men and women—all perfect for laid-back northshore living as well as the savvy jetsetter. (The exclusive men’s jean bar has a huge selection of denim!) Pamela’s recipe for success at The Mix is simple. “I want all of my customers to feel welcome and know that we will do our best to make them feel beautiful and look fabulous.”
Everyone who walks into Southern Bridal enters its doors with a desire, a dream or a fantasy of what they envision their special day to be. For four years, owner Jennifer Pearse Erceg has brought a unique experience to each customer to make their dream come true. Southern Bridal is a one-stop shop for all formal needs, including bridal, mother of the bride, ball gowns and tuxedos. The newly expanded 1,800-square-foot showroom provides a relaxed atmosphere that invites customers to take their time in making their all-important selections. Jennifer’s experience and passion combine to make her exactly what people expect—and need—when they come to her shop. She is always looking for the newest lines, which customers want to see in a specialty boutique like Southern Bridal. Jennifer has made friends in some special places that allow her to carry exclusive lines that are only available at Southern Bridal, including Essense Of Australia, Stella York, San Patrick by Pronovias, Alfred Sung and Eugenia Couture; a new designer joining the growing family is Sottero Midgley. Jennifer and her team know that no two customers are alike. They take pride in making everyone feel special with personal attention and unsurpassed service, no matter what the request or the size and formality of the event. Whatever your special occasion, Jennifer and Southern Bridal can meet any need you have for your day.
