Jim Newman | jnewman@lifestylepubs.com EDITOR

Sue Collins | scollins@lifestylepubs.com

Hello friends, HOW MANY TIMES HAS YOUR PERSONAL STYLE EVOLVED? Not just changed, but evolved?

Do you refine your wardrobe and style a little every year?

I love Lauren Hutton's style. Hutton finds fashion rules "absurd"; her goal is to make an organic connection between outer wrappings and inner life. Because her clothes are in sync with her personality, they never wear her; because she holds on to favorites, they carry a bit of history. "I like to have things for years—things with holes, raggedy things," she said in an interview with O magazine. "They make me feel good."

fabrics. A DIY mani-pedi, tinted lip balm and a good sunscreen have been my beauty regime go-tos. I do miss dressing up on occasion (RIP Jeffrey Cares) but have easily pivoted to finding accessories and lifestyle choices that make me feel good. Here are a few: Do something nice for someone every day: drop off flowers or a notecard to a neighbor or friend nearby. Closer to home, do a chore that matters to someone else in your household.

Look people in the eye when you shop or pass them on the street and smiling, under the mask. Add a nod of the head for emphasis.

Take time for yourself to be alone, walking or reading. This is NOT selfish. It's self-care.

Add a prayer for someone who you know is struggling.

Learn about how you can volunteer safely in your community. Check the city websites or research a non-profit serving a population you care about. Campaign for a candi-

date you believe will speak to the issues you care about. Become an activist. Tap into your gifts. What are your skills? Are you good at something that could be used for a greater good?

Because living large, opening your heart and giving generously never go out of style.

GEORGIA OVARIAN C ANCER ALLIANCE’S “ TEAL TROT 5K” SHIFTS TO VIRTUAL IN SEPTEMBER ANNUAL FUNDRAISER INTRODUCES NEW PERSONALIZED FORMAT TO CELEBRATE OVARIAN CANCER AWARENESS MONTH ARTICLE ASHLEY CAMERON CURTIS PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

Perimeter North Lifestyle | September 2020

AS ALWAYS, SEPTEMBER IS OVARIAN CANCER AWARENESS MONTH, BUT THIS YEAR WILL LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT FOR THE GEORGIA OVARIAN CANCER ALLIANCE (GOCA) COMMUNITY, AS THE LOCAL NONPROFIT SHIFTS FOR THE FIRST TIME TO A VIRTUAL, INDIVIDUALIZED EXPERIENCE FOR ITS 18TH ANNUAL TEAL TROT 5K WALK/RUN. The event is one of the largest ovarian cancer awareness events in the Southeast and is held each year to remember those we have lost, honor those who are fighting, and recognize those who support the GOCA mission of ovarian cancer awareness and education.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing social distancing guidelines, GOCA invites the community to register online for The Very Versatile Virtual 2020 Teal Trot presented by Northside Hospital Cancer Institute and show the world your support for GOCA and ovarian cancer awareness by participating in your own fundraising run, walk, hike, bike ride, swim, dance, golf – anything that inspires you! – between September 14 and 30, 2020.

GOCA encourages participants to be creative in their challenges whether you want to skip or hopscotch, skydive or weight lift. Personal “Teal Trots” can be documented in photos or videos and shared on social media with the #GaOvarianCancer tag.

“We may not be able to gather together as a group this year to make an impact,” Doug Barron, GOCA Executive Director, comments. “But we can unite in spirit as we continue raising and spreading ovarian cancer awareness throughout the state and beyond in September.”

Registration is now open at TealTrot.com.

Funds raised from the event will benefit GOCA’s education, awareness and community outreach programs.

For more information, please visit

GAOvarianCancer.org; call 404.255.1337; or email info@gaovariancancer.org.

Georgia Ovarian Cancer Alliance (GOCA), a 501c-3 non-profit, serves to increase awareness and educate women of all ages and their families, as well as the healthcare community, about the risks and symptoms leading to early detection. GOCA serves the state of Georgia with public outreach programs, education and awareness, and fundraising events.

With no sure way of predicting ovarian cancer and no single screening test to identify it at the earlier, pre-symptomatic stages, awareness and education are an urgent priority for all women in order to protect themselves from late-stage ovarian cancer.

EVERY ELEMENT OF FASHION LOOKS DIFFERENT TODAY THAN A YEAR AGO, BUT ONE THING REMAINS. Beautiful fashion serves as our inspiration, while showcasing strength and determination.

ARTICLE VICKIE KIRBO PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

The best dressed people have some things in common. Their wardrobes consist of quality classic pieces, but also portray a modern, innovative vibe.

Here’s how to join the high fashion ranks.

Stay focused on building a closet that will last beyond the current season (don’t fall for crazy trends). Also, make big ticket items you purchase each season better-quality pieces that feel updated and contemporary.

This fall, add these to your shopping list to achieve a wardrobe to wear for seasons to come, while feeling oh so stylish.

+ TALL BOOTS We all love booties, but knee-high silhouettes are coming back with a vengeance. The combination of slim jeans and a structured jacket is the casual look du jour.

TEXTURE, COLOR AND CONFIDENCE 22

Perimeter North Lifestyle | September 2020

+ VELVET Velvet can be elegant and luxurious, but it also fits with casual looks, Wear velvet in the rich colors above. How about a pair of green velvet jeans with your sneakers for a chic but comfortable look?

+ COLOR Step outside your box and try rich, opulent, of-the-moment colors- gray, fuchsia, olive green and burgundy. Gray is having a moment for fall/winter 2020. The neutral hue dominated runways in head-to-toe looks. The key to a perfect monotone look is mixing various shades, fabrics, and lengths within your outfit.

LOCAL BREWERIES ARE MAKING SURE THEIR LABELS ARE JUST AS CREATIVE AS THEIR BEER.

THE CRAFT BEER INDUSTRY IS BOOMING BECAUSE OF SO MANY FACTORS. Thanks to retailers, journalists, social media, influencers and simply a lot more people becoming more open-minded to indulging in the plethora of flavors ales and lagers can produce, beer is what’s happening in the libation world. But with a thriving business comes more players in the game, so craft breweries have t0 find more inventive ways to stand out on the shelves and coolers. And that’s when cool can designs and bottle labels come in. Here are a few Georgia-based breweries who have taken catching the eye seriously with brilliant artwork, along with who designed them and a description of the beer itself direct from the brewery.

BREWERY: Monday Night Brewing, Atlanta BEER NAME: Mischief Managed Berliner Weisse DESIGNER: Ali Lamoureux THE BEER: Mischief Managed is our series of fruited Berliner Weisses. Berliner Weisse yeasts are notorious for causing mischief in the beer if not managed correctly.

This version is aged in our French oak Foeder for months on passionfruit and guava. Much like its design, Mischief Managed is tart, crisp and clean. We used bright, bold colors to allude to the refreshingly, juicy flavors that could easily get you into a little mischief.

BREWERY: Creature Comforts Brewing, Athens BEER NAME: Automatic Pale Ale DESIGNER: Michelle Fontaine THE BEER: “Automatic is a modern pale ale with an ABV of 5.5% that features a prominent hop flavor and aroma.

The beer appears hazy and straw colored with densely packed and persistent white foam. A mix of Mosaic and Crystal hops are used to create a delicate balance and give the beer an aroma that features a complex array of berry, citrus, herbal and pine notes.”

BREWERY: Second Self Beer, Atlanta BEER NAME: El Velorio Puerto Rican Hot Chocolate Porter DESIGNER: Maite Nazario THE BEER: “For El Velorio (‘The Wake’), we wanted to honor and remember the struggle of Puerto Rico over the past several years. At a wake, you celebrate the life of a lost loved one, and we wanted the art to reflect that. Half of the label is in black and white, showing the decimation of the island after Hurricane Maria in 2017. The other, more colorful half celebrates the rebirth and resilience of the island since then. The beer was inspired by the Puerto Rican traditional drink of hot chocolate and coffee. Naturally, we used coffee and chocolate from Puerto Rico, too. The result was a unique beer made for celebrations.”
