A Year of Style

Hello, Cedar Park~

One’s own style is as familiar as Mom’s apple pies. You see it everywhere! Some say it’s God-given, like a newborn baby’s laughter or cry. It can be seen in an individual’s creativity and uniqueness, a gift that shows up in their talents, and often self-promoted styles like trendy haircuts, colors, fashions, tattoos, makeup, mustaches, and muscles. It can be seen in the cars we drive, the homes we own, the wardrobe we choose for ourselves and the fashions we clothe our children in, our spending habits, places we eat, and vacation destinations to exotic places near and far. Many times, it's a reflection of our own upbringing, heritage, and culture.

We invite you to look at style in a new way this issue, like when an interior designer captures a home’s character and blends it into a new environment and style that reflects the personality of the homeowner.

Or when a photo is taken to reflect upon that special moment... Go ahead and express yourself! You've got style! Be you!

Look around! Our city’s own style is an ever-adapting environment that’s profoundly heartfelt and absolutely charming.

We celebrate Cedar Park and all the gifts these past 12 months have given to us. I’ve truly been honored to be a small part of this community by sharing good news, loving our businesses, and promoting local spending ensuring our town continues to thrive! Our deepest appreciation goes to our Founding Partners, who embraced my vision and helped bring this stylish publication to life, and all who have contributed and joined our Cedar Park City Lifestyle family since. You make this all possible! Lastly, thank you to our readers, whose kind words of praise touch my heart and bring joy to me, my family, and our City Lifestyle team each month!

Thank you for being a part of our beautiful journey. Stay tuned next month as we celebrate our first Anniversary with Food, Drink, Festivities, and Fun! I’ll see you around town!

Immerse yourself in nature with MISSING Hotel’s shelters in Texas Hill Country

Elegant. Cozy. Minimalistic style. That is what the shelters at MISSING Hotel are sure to provide you with when you take on their elevated camping experience. With nine shelters to choose from, there is something for anyone who is hoping to have a home away from home that allows them to explore, process, and breathe more easily.

MISSING Hotel gives you the opportunity to go off the grid in a way that no other spot in the area does. Located around the beautiful Highland Lakes of Hill Country, the property backs up to the Balcones Canyonlands Wildlife Refuge. Among the 50,000 green acres, you will be surrounded by nature's inhabitants while enjoying a range of luxurious amenities.

Whether you opt for a Wes Andersoninspired geodesic dome or a modern cabin perfect for stargazing, you have an unforgettable space to rest, reflect, and recharge.

While H-E-B is just 15 minutes away, remember to load up on provisions before your trip so that you can enjoy all that the shelter and Hill Country have to offer. Each shelter comes complete with an outdoor fire pit and a Blackstone griddle to cook a meal right on your deck as the sun goes down. And while there is heating and air conditioning to combat the Texas weather, you can also take a dip in your personal hot tub or plunge pool. You will definitely need the space to unwind after spending your day mountain biking or hiking the trails around the property and meeting the mini cows!

If you are ready to set aside some time to find yourself or plan a romantic getaway, book a shelter at missinghotel.com now. Prepare yourself for epic views and hidden gems while you feel as though you are floating in the treetops.

House of Colour's highly personalized services

House of Colour Austin-Avery Ranch wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the pandemic. A speech-language pathologist by trade, Carolyn Rector loved her career but needed a reset. She had always loved fashion and styling for fun, so when she saw the opportunity to start up a local franchise of House of Colour, she jumped on it.

Rector went through intensive training, where she found out just how bespoke Color and Style Analysis is. It’s about body architecture and geometrics, personality and lifestyle, and functionality and authenticity.

“Since getting my colors done and being really conscious about what I do wear, I’ve noticed that people are complimenting me more. Really, I haven’t done anything other than wear clothes and makeup that are my best color palette,” says Chrysty Lockhart in her podcast Start Scared after experiencing Rector’s services. “It’s been so eye-opening and so empowering.”

In the past two years of owning House of Colour Austin-Avery Ranch, Rector impressed upon her clients that when you look good, you feel good. Because we only have five to seven seconds to make a first impression, it’s important to know how you want to be perceived. With science-based Color and Style Analysis, you make the right impression.

While her first time behind the chair during training was intimidating, Rector has become confident in her tried and true services. Each client walks out of her studio with a heightened sense of who they are as an individual.

“My advice is to invest in yourself, regardless of the time of year. Invest in Color and Style Analysis, where the sole purpose is to enhance an individual's natural beauty, not transform or remodel what makes you, you,” says Rector. “I'll help you discover how to shop smarter, spend wiser, and have fewer items in your closet with items you absolutely love and wear repeatedly.”

Follow Carolyn Rector on Instagram @hoc.austin.averyranch or book a service online at hocaustinaveryranch.square.site .

1 | Season

House of Colour concludes whether you are a summer, spring, autumn, or winter. This is based on the genetic undertones of your skin. Your season never changes as you age.

2 | Makeup

The key to a great look is wearing makeup in precise shades. During Color Analysis, determine which lipsticks balance your features, making your eyes brighter and teeth appear whiter.

3 | Body Type

House of Colour liberates you in the dressing room. Between your vertical measurements and bust-to-hip ratio, discover how proportion and balance are created. You can’t put a straight line on a curve!

4 | Clothes

Expect to discuss prints, dress lengths, and types of jeans during your Style Analysis. But also expect to dig into your unique lifestyle because personal factors go into establishing a wardrobe.

Master the Green in Style

ELEVATE YOUR GOLF GAME AT GOLFINITY’S STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY

After studying under Professional Golfers’ Association Hall of Fame instructor Manuel de la Torre, Aaron Bergman set off as a golf instructor himself. Bergman traveled to nine countries, guiding golfers of all skill levels. His experiences inspired him to settle down in Austin and develop a program for young children called Golf in Schools. The program was extremely successful and introduced more than 2,000 Central Texas students to the game of golf every year.

Bergman dreamed of the opportunity to further blend his passions for teaching and golf. And so, with his vision to bring people together over his favorite sport, Golfinity was born. It is America’s largest indoor golf facility of its kind, offering world-class instruction and skill development experience.

Alongside family, friends, or colleagues, you can step into a space that truly changes the way you learn, practice, and play golf. But Golfinity doesn’t stop at its 21 simulator bays and game-improvement technology. It goes above and beyond with its award-winning restaurant, club services, and event spaces. The Golfinity Performance Club even comes complete with a luxury membership lounge and a new health and wellness studio.

It is for these reasons that Golfinity was recognized as the national 2023 Development of the Year in Golf Inc.’s Golf Entertainment category. Since its inception in July 2022, Golfinity has become a major player in the Greater Austin social scene, hosting 900 active monthly members. Bergman and his team are proud to have created a facility that makes golf instruction accessible, affordable, and—most importantly—fun.

How

Copper + Mane uplifts beauty professionals and clients through elegantly constructed salon suites

ARTICLE BY MEGAN MARSHALL

HAIR CARE | STYLE + BEAUTY
PHOTOGRAPHY BY COPPER + MANE

Abby Diggs has always loved doing hair. By working in salon suites, she has had the freedom to be her own boss. Come 2021, Diggs was inspired to take her career to the next level through Copper + Mane Luxury Salon Suites, dreaming of an upscale spot for independent stylists just like her.

“With most salon suites around Austin, the landlords just want the bills paid, but don’t value their tenants or want to improve the overall look of their salons,” says Diggs. “I wanted to create a space that gave each individual beauty professional a luxury feel with little start-up costs, as well as provide benefits that are appreciated for individual businesses.”

These benefits include maternity leave, vacation time, on-site laundry, and fully furnished workspaces. For the next couple

of years, Diggs continued to see her values come to life in a special way.

Once the nine move-in-ready studios were completed, Diggs and her new team honored the hard work that went into it all with a grand opening party. It was one for the books, complete with a variety of local vendors showing their support.

“To see it all come to light was amazing, especially because we celebrated with our tenants and families,” says Diggs. “The problem with most salon suites is that the number of tenants gets so large that it’s hard to connect. Keeping the salon suite number to a minimum has really allowed me to connect well with each business owner.”

Diggs has felt incredibly fulfilled seeing how happy the tenants of Copper + Mane are. Between monthly meals and regular events

for socializing, the women behind the studios have the opportunity to truly get to know one another. This makes for an improved experience for them and their clients.

For everyone involved, it’s all about style. Salon suites require a well-curated style that serves as a reflection of the establishment’s identity and aids in the client’s desire to feel pampered, indulged, and confident.

“Style to me is known as a distinctive appearance,” says Diggs. “Copper + Mane Luxury Salon Suites have their own style—luxury. We plan to continue to keep our style up to date, as style will always change throughout the years, and we hope to grow to allow more beauty professionals to experience our level of style.”

Blending Culture and Conservation

PAOLA MATHÉ DISCUSSES THE EMPOWERMENT OF ECO-FRIENDLY FASHION

Translating to “strong woman” in Haitian Kreyol, Fanm Djanm is a business centered around inspiring women through thoughtfully prepared pieces. Before blossoming into what it is today, Fanm Djanm was the idea of social entrepreneur Paola Mathé, based on her heritage and love of color.

“I used to wear headwraps all of the time. After being stopped countless times and looking around for a shop that offers them, I couldn’t find one,” says Mathé. “I decided to start a brand that focused primarily on headwraps. I started by myself in my tiny studio apartment in Harlem, and sold them on the weekends on folded tables at markets and on the streets.”

Now, Mathé has a team and a storefront in Austin, and has shipped tens of thousands of headwraps around the world. Fanm Djanm has evolved into a zero-waste company, transparently creating sustainable practices without sacrificing product quality.

“In Haiti, I went to a Catholic school where we all looked the same and were expected to act the same,” says Mathé. “How do we create a beautiful life if we’re constantly thinking about ways to fit in and only live to make others comfortable? I say live boldly, but do it your way.”

For Mathé, style is not just the designer you wear, but colors, lines, shapes, textures, and occasions. Style is the way you choose to greet the world every day, expressing yourself rather than impressing others.

DRIVING IN THE FAST LANE

Throughout childhood, Kino Ayoubi remembers his uncle taking him to the toy store. There, he would go straight to the matchbox cars, specifically asking for the greatest, oldest Porsches. Over time, he accumulated a large collection that he proudly lined up on his bed. Ayoubi’s addiction to cars later grew into an addiction to driving.

“At 13, I would sneak out and take my dad’s Mercedes for a drive. I didn’t really get caught until about a year later when I returned the car home, basically totaled,” says Ayoubi. “So, I started driving at a very young age, self-taught. After the accident, my dad decided to take me out and sharpen my skills.”

KINO AYOUBI REFLECTS ON HIS LOVE OF DRIVING AND THE CAR COMMUNITY
DRIVER’S NOTEBOOK | AUTO + MARINE

Ayoubi’s fascination with cars has never wavered. In fact, he started his own group called the Austin GT Club in 2019. Brought together by their vehicles, the 250 members have forged meaningful friendships. If you need a trusted Realtor, mechanic, or lawyer, you have access to that source of knowledge.

“The car community exposed me to a lot of like-minded people that expanded my understanding of business in general," says Ayoubi. "Add my education to that equation, and I’m now providing very specialized business consulting services to friends and clients."

Ayoubi searches for vehicles with personality and performance, including his newest addition, the 720s Spider, which he finds achieves a connectedness like no other. From Mustang to Corvette, Porsche to Lamborghini, and now the bar-setting McLaren… he commits to putting miles on his cars, both on the road and on the COTA track, rather than leaving them in the garage.

“Most of my memories with my cars are the driving experiences. Each car I’ve had offered something special and different from the others,” says Ayoubi. “Every car tells a story, and every car has grown my circle of good friends. The best thing about having my cars would be the connections I’ve made and the great relationships I have with the people in my life today.”

KICK OFF YOUR CHILD’S STYLE JOURNEY WITH CLOTHING AND ACCESSORIES FROM DUVALLS BOUTIQUE

When attending an event, you want to look your best—it doesn’t matter what age you are. That’s why DuValls Boutique is prepared for your children’s birthday party, wedding, and school dance needs. It achieves this by promising items from exclusive brands that don’t tear on the first wear, don’t fade on the first wash, and you won’t find in any chain store.

“Stella M’Lia is a brand specifically for special occasion wear for girls ages eight to 16. With locations in places like New York, LA, Atlanta, London, and Sydney, DuValls is honored to be the only store in Texas to carry this amazing line,” says owner Lauren Martin. “We are also proud to announce our partnership with Psycho Bunny, a popular men’s line typically found in Dillard’s and Nordstrom. They created a boy’s line that we are the sole official retailer of in the Central Texas area.”

No matter which designer your child wears, the clothing from DuValls is sure to be a staple in their closet. When it comes to back-to-school shopping, Martin’s best advice is to invest in items for year-round wear and add a couple of trendy pieces that really pop.

“Due to the nature of the fashion industry in general, you are typically buying two to three seasons ahead of time. That being said, designers work very hard to forecast what they believe will be the next fashion craze or look of the season,” says Martin. “We are working with clothing lines whose staples tend to be classic, higher-quality, natural fabrics like 100% bamboo and 100% Peruvian Pima cotton.”

For parents and caretakers, helping children establish a unique sense of style early on is part of the job. When you buy purposeful pieces from DuValls, you are setting the foundation for their style.

LAUREN MARTIN

DUVALLS BOUTIQUE OWNER

Since the founding of DuValls in 2022, Lauren Martin has been a champion of kids expressing themselves through clothing and accessories. Her day-to-day is spent looking for the next big things that customers will love. Martin finds that, in today’s society, one of the largest problems we see in children is a lack of comfort, confidence, and awareness of who they are as individuals. She overcomes this problem with fashion-forward pieces of unmatched quality. By offering one-of-a-kind selections for newborns through tweens, DuValls is there for every part of your child’s life to make them feel fabulous.

DREAM IT... I'LL SHOOT IT!

Introducing Cedar Park City

Lifestyle's newest awardwinning photographer, Matthew Chambers

Howdy folks! I'm Matthew Chambers and it is a total pleasure to join the team. I started shooting when I was about 10 years old and took it professional in 1996 on a garage sale camera. Back in those days, $50 and a six-pack of beer got you a photographer for as long as your film held out. Since then, I've witnessed photography go from film to digital and now from mirrored cameras to mirrorless! The journey has been amazing.

Over the last 27 years, I've picked up a few thousand awards and recognitions, including two international rankings, one for 17th Best Boudoir Photographer worldwide in 2012 and then in 2019 as 2nd Best Wedding Photographer worldwide, as well as an induction to the Wedding Photographer Hall of Fame. I specialize in portraiture but happily shoot anything you can imagine!

“Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.” – Henri Cartier-Bresson
