YOU-niquely Folsom

Dear Reader,

I hope this letter finds you in high spirits and full of creative energy here in Folsom.

Today, I want to take a moment to celebrate and explore the fascinating world of style in our charming city, embracing the unique Folsom City Lifestyle. Style is not limited to the clothes we wear or the way we adorn ourselves, it encompasses every aspect of our lives. From the way we decorate our homes to the music we listen to, from the books we read to the way we carry ourselves in conversations, style permeates every facet of our existence. It is the thread that weaves together the tapestry of our lives right here in Folsom.

Style is deeply personal. And it evolves as we celebrate our quirks, our passions, and our desires, adding a unique flavor to our lives. Style becomes a form of self-expression that communicates who we are, how we perceive our beautiful city, and what we value, aligning with the Folsom City Lifestyle that brings us together as a community. In this way, style becomes a powerful tool for connection, as it enables us to find common ground with others who share our aesthetic sensibilities.

As individuals, we have the freedom to embrace established styles, blend them together, or forge entirely new paths, becoming trendsetters ourselves, inspired by the spirit of Folsom's creativity. We hope this issue inspires you to forge new paths or perhaps explore familiar ones, all while being immersed in the magic that Folsom has to offer. There is so much here in Folsom to uplift our spirits, boost our productivity, and ignite our creativity, in perfect harmony with the Folsom City Lifestyle.

Here’s to being uniquely you, Folsom-style, as we delve into the fascinating world of style together!

Show Your Style This Fall

As the summer heat gradually gives way to cooler temperatures, it’s time to start talking about your fall wardrobe.  Transitioning from one season to another can be a bit tricky, especially since Folsom stays hot well into September and even October.  Fear not, here are some fashion trends to help you navigate the fall transition with style and ease.  You won't even need to put away your summer clothes to look cool this fall.  Here are some tips for a stylish transition:

Start with a neutral foundation and layer

TRANSITION FASHION TRENDS

LAYERING:

Fall is all about layering and it’s the perfect way to adapt to changing temperatures.  Start with lightweight pieces like a flowy blouse or a sleeveless dress and layer them with a lightweight jean jacket or long sleeve button up top.  This not only adds depth to your outfit but also allows you to adjust your clothing as the day progresses.  According to Michelle Asnicar, owner of  Stone + Birch Boutique in Historic Folsom, it's all about texture and layers for fall.  She says, "from dresses and sandals to boots and booties...so many pieces are fab for transitioning into the cooler weather."

DARKER COLORS AND EARTHY TONES:

Embrace the colors of nature by incorporating earthy tones into your fall wardrobe.  Think warm brown, deep greens, burnt oranges, and rich burgundies.  These hues not only compliment

the changing foliage but also create a cozy and sophisticated look.  Tone down your floral summer dress by layering with warm, solid, complimentary hues.

TEXTURED FABRICS:

Fall is the season to experiment with different textures.  Consider clothing made from different fabrics like denim, velvet, or tweed.  Consider a wool hat, cashmere scarf, or leather boots to elevate your fall outfits.  These materials not only add visual interest but also provide warmth and comfort.

OVERSIZED KNITS:

Nothing says fall like a chunky knit sweater.  Choose a slouchy cardigan or a soft pullover to create a relaxed and effortlessly chic look.  Pair it with light denim skinny jeans or even shorts to accommodate the changing weather.

Back to school in style! Dress and backpack: @ShopWolfHome Model: Sammy Traynor @sammytraynor

STATEMENT OUTERWEAR:

As the weather gets cooler, your outerwear becomes a key element of your outfit.  Make a statement with a bold coat or jacket, like the denim jacket our model, Sammy Traynor, is wearing with a bright embroidered fabric on the back from Marigold Boutique in Historic Folsom.  Choose vibrant colors, unique patterns, or interesting textures to stand out from the crowd.  A statement outerwear piece can instantly elevate even the simplest of outfits.

BOOTS AND BOOTIES:

Boots are a year round staple that can effortlessly transition your summer outfits (think short summer dress

with cowboy boots) into the new season (booties, jeans, and chunky sweater).  Whether you prefer classic, casual, or cowboy, boots add a touch of sophistication to any ensemble.  Mia Khera, from On Point Boutique in Palladio says, “the best way to transition summer into fall is to bust out the booties and layer, layer, layer.”

ACCESSORIES:

You can completely change the look and warmth of your outfit with accessories.  Accessories play a crucial role in fall fashion.  Wrap yourself in a cozy scarf or don a stylish hat to complete your outfit.  Even your jewelry can change season.  Heavier styles, bright colors, and

chunky stones will give more depth to your outfit and won't get lost in your newly added layers and textures.  You can even layer your jewelry.  Different length gold chains or multiple stone and leather wraps, draw attention and create statement pieces.  Swap your floppy summer hats for a stylish wool hat or a warmer colored straw hat to not only add a fashionable touch but also keep you warm as the days get chillier.

BAGS:

Summer is perfect for beach bags or small outdoor concert pouches but fall is a great time to change out your bag.  Have you noticed how therapeutic it feels to change your handbag?  Clearing out the old stuff and starting with a new bigger bag helps keep things feeling

fresh.  People usually carry more in their bags in fall: a place to stash hats, gloves, beanie, scarf, school books, etc.  Backpacks are great for fall, they hold a lot and keep your hands free.  At WOLFHOME on Sutter Street, we have a nice collection of stylish backpacks and boho bags for fall.  Handbags are also a great way to show your unique style with bold colors and luxurious fabrics like canvas, carpet, and leather.

Remember, fashion is about expressing your personal style and feeling confident.  These fall transition wear trends are meant to inspire you, to help you navigate the changing season with flair, and to embrace the changing season without having to change your entire wardrobe.  Just a few style alterations or additions can help you welcome fall even when it's still 90 degrees out.  Mix and match these ideas to create your own unique looks and embrace the beauty of fall fashion.

SCOTT'S SEAFOOD ROUNDHOUSE

A local favorite for dining in style

Whether you’re looking for a special night out to celebrate an anniversary, surprising a loved one for a milestone birthday with a classy touch, or just taking a happy hour mini vacation to treat yourself, grab a seat at Scott’s Seafood Roundhouse.  Located in the heart of Folsom’s Historic District, Scott’s Seafood offers an iconic retreat, immediately wrapping you in upscale luxury the moment you step into the picturesque replica of the historic railyard building on Sutter Street.  Feel indulged as you're welcomed into a refined yet comfortable atmosphere, where the stunning ambiance and sweeping views of the Roundhouse architecture allow the past to inspire the present, mixing historic elements with clean and modern flair.

You’ll find you are surrounded by treasured local artwork from their previous Greenback Lane location, as a bit of a wink to their former roots that fits perfectly into their new atmosphere.  Immerse yourself in their full bar menu, featuring classy favorites such as the “Billionaire Martini” with Tito’s hand shaken vodka and blue cheese stuffed olives, where you can add olive juice to make it “filthy rich” or try your hand at the “James Bond 007” featuring Bar Hill Gin, Tahoe Blue Vodka and olive with a twist, shaken, not stirred.  Delight in their Daily Cocktail and try a "Westside Ricky" with Pinnacle Cucumber Vodka, fresh lime juice, mint leaves, and soda water.  Once you’ve put in your handcrafted drink order, you’ll be presented with freshly made sourdough bread, a nod to their original San Francisco location at the corner of Scott and Lombard Streets.  The star of the show is their food menu, which offers something for everyone.  Whether your appetite runs towards fresh fish, juicy steak, savory pasta, roasted chicken, or vegetarian or vegan delights, Scott's Seafood has a menu full of variety.  They offer some of the finest quality raw ingredients available and fly in their seafood from all over the world, giving your tastebuds a true world class treat.  Some customer favorites include starting off with Oysters Rockefeller, Boston Clam Chowder,

Banh Mi with Togarashi fries

or Calamari, then moving on to a main course like Scott’s Cioppino, featuring clams, mussels, prawns, fresh fish, crab, habanero sausage, spicy tomato fennel broth and garlic asiago toast points.  A trip to Scott’s Seafood wouldn’t be complete without their signature and delectable Raspberry Jack dessert with Double Rainbow vanilla bean ice cream and fresh raspberries, paired with a Buena Vista Irish Coffee with Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey, hot coffee and cream, which is a replica of a San Francisco traditional treat.

Scott’s Seafood offers a multitude of experiences where you can start and end your day at this unique destination.  Begin your weekend with a savory Crab Cake Benedict, or indulge in their Cinnamon Roll French Toast on thick Texas Toast with decadent dulce de leche cream cheese icing for brunch before you spend time pursuing the fresh and bountiful Folsom Farmer’s Market just steps outside the restaurant.  Or, enjoy a lunch of Macadamia Nut Crusted Alaskan Halibut with coconut-cilantro black rice, mango chutney, char grilled asparagus, macadamia nuts, and brown butter-coconut soubise or a fresh

Yellowfin Ahi Poke Bowl before strolling Sutter Street for a bit of shopping or some adventurous axe throwing.  During the week, you can grab your friends and hit the Happy Hour Monday through Friday from 3:00pm-6:00pm Enjoy appetizers like the flavorful and spicy Banh Mi, a toasted baguette filled with Togarashi jumbo prawns, crispy pork belly, black garlic hoisin aioli, cucumber, cilantro, green onion, pickled radish, carrot, serrano, with Togarashi fries.  Add a specialty drink like their Roundhouse Paloma with Don Julio Blanco, fresh grapefruit and lime juice, grapefruit soda and salted rim.

Folsom’s Historic District offers a plethora of events, festivals, activities and concerts, and Scott’s Seafood has a lovely shaded outdoor patio uniquely situated near the Amphitheater for the perfect opportunity to enjoy summertime musical entertainment while you savor in your food and drinks.

If you’re looking for quality seafood and high-end plates offered in an upscale, refined atmosphere, experience Scott’s Seafood in Folsom. This one-ofa-kind treasure, with sweeping views, and friendly, attentive service has been voted Sacramento area's Best Seafood Restaurant many times over for a multitude of reasons.  Scott’s Seafood is a destination unlike any other with its quality offerings and comfortable, yet vibrant ambiance that makes every visit feel delightfully and deliciously special.

Workout Essentials

Whether at home or in the gym, strength training has proven to be useful for more than just building muscle.  It is known to reduce feelings of anxiety and depression, help regulate moods, and can balance hormones.  Below are ISI® Folsom owner, Karl Krahn’s suggestions for workout essentials to maximize your success in strength and conditioning training:

1. Training Shoes:   Athletic shoes should match your activity, a good cross trainer with room for your toes to spread is helpful in functional training.  Nike Metcon, Reebok Nano, and New Balance Minimus are a top three.

2 HR Monitor: Wearables are getting more sophisticated every year.  Get one that can track your heart rate, calories, time, and distance.  Apple, Garmin, and Fitbit are all great.

3 Hex Dumbbells: Versatile and effective for strength training.  Their hexagonal shape helps prevent rolling and provides stability.

4 Resistance Bands: Also great for strength training while being portable.  It’s good to use bands and bells in your workout routine.

5. Kettlebell: Kettlebells are great for fullbody workouts and often used in competitive strength training.

6 A Plan:  Make a plan and follow it.   A training app, like the ISI® App, adds convenience and a new level of accountability towards your goals.

ISI® Folsom owner, Karl Krahn, is a Combat Veteran of US Navy EOD and is passionate about maintaining physical and mental health with functional strength training.  He and his team have been training people (military and civilians) to become the strongest and most capable versions of themselves for decades.
