IN THE MAGAZINE WORLD, THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE IS THE MOST ANTICIPATED ARRIVAL OF THE YEAR. It’s the unofficial first look at this season’s fashion trends and predictions for the upcoming year. So it is with much excitement that we present you with our own localized fashion issue—Loveland and South-style.

For our annual fall fashion photo shoot, we collaborated with Pilar Boutique and Michael Anthony Simon at Artworks to showcase all the season’s hottest looks alongside Simon’s highly acclaimed work. We also offer some tips for creating a stylish home with Niche Design House, inspiration for timeless denim trends at any age at the Promenade Shops at Centerra, as well as a lesson in chic cocktail presentation and more.

If your hairstyle is in need of a serious makeover, look no further than Chris Lane Salon who is changing the way hair care and childcare is done. Then hit the campgrounds for one last outing of the year (may we suggest Carter Lake) and enjoy

MGD?

IF your eyes get red, seem to water excessively, feel scratchy or your vision fluctuates you probably do!

Most people diagnosed with Dry Eye actually have symptoms caused by MGD. Meibomain gland dysfunction is one of the underlying causes of dry eye.

The tear glands in the eyelids become blocked and the surface of the eye is left exposed to the dry Colorado air.

Dr Hulme Dry Eye Center treats MGD with the LipiFlow device that utilizes Thermal Pulsation to direct gentle heat and massage to remove blockages from the meibomian glands. The treatment is designed to restore the natural oil flow to the tear film that covers the eye’s surface.

A BLENDING OF SEASONS CUSTOM BLENDING BRINGS THE BEST INGREDIENTS TOGETHER

ARTICLE SUSANNA TOBIAS PHOTOGRAPHY FLOURISH BRANDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Loveland & South Lifestyle | September 2019

THERE’S AN OLD SAYING THAT GOES, “YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS, BUT NOT YOUR FAMILY.” Well, the same can be said for your work family because often you have no control over this mix of people. In fact, these people, much like your relatives, probably remind you of the spices in your spice rack. Sweet, savory, spicy, earthy—no matter what spice you’re seeking, you probably work with someone who matches it perfectly. Perhaps the best way to help everyone work together is to find the key ingredient, the one thing that creates the perfect blend.

Creating the perfect blend was paramount in the minds of Tom and Kristie Cotter when they purchased Custom Blending in 2016. In addition to this goal, they also set for themselves a few others including honoring their faith with the business, enriching lives and adding the right people. To the Cotters, the first goal was the most important. Everything they have done has been derived from their love for the Lord and their desire to serve Him. Their secondary goals were to create a family business and to enrich the lives of everyone they come into contact with. The Cotters wanted to create “a place where people [knew] they were safe, appreciated and valued.” To that end, they have designed a workplace where families are welcome.

"We don’t live isolated lives; we live life in community. God created us to live life in community,” Kristie says, “and people need to feel like they have contributed and that they have a place to belong.”

Last, but certainly not least in the list of goals was to add the right people. Custom Blending started out with just Tom and Kristie on the payroll, and they now have 11 total employees. When asked how they felt about the progress they’ve made in the past three years, the Cotters answered that it’s been a process, but they feel that they’ve made definite progress toward accomplishing the goals they set for themselves.

“When folks know that their seasoning is going to a certain restaurant, there is a certain sense of pride," Tom says.

A handful of the Custom Blending employees ventured out to nearby Carter Lake to try a cobbler made with the Uncle Bemis Fall Harvest Blend. Everyone had a great time, and the connection among the workers was evident. The cobbler not only looks delicious, but the delight on the faces of the attendees is obvious. As with the spices in the spice rack, each person is completely different, yet I’m sure Tom and Kristie would say that they create the mix that is vital to Custom Blending.

Whether you’re familiar with Loveland-based Custom Blending or any of its wonderful staff, you’ll want to know that many custom blends are used

in your local Loveland, Berthoud and Johnstown restaurants. In fact, four new corn salt blends were a big hit at the recent Loveland Corn Roast Festival.

Stop by the Custom Blending office to introduce yourself and meet the team! If you’re anything like me, the cobbler in the photos is calling so loudly that I may have to stop by for the Fall Harvest Blend very soon.

THE POLYCHOTOMY OF YOU, ME AND WE

]

WHEN CONSIDERING FEATURES FOR OUR SEPTEMBER FASHION ISSUE, WE WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT HOW FASHION AND ART GO HAND-IN-HAND. There is a multiplicity of color, texture and visceral creativity that goes into both. There is a conversation occurring among space, form and movement, which lends itself to every facet of life. The exploration of this communal affection has inspired us to bring multiple worlds together for this feature.

Artworks Loveland knows what it’s like to bring creative forces together. As the largest studio artist community in Northern Colorado, their vision is to provide a space that inspires contemporary artists to create. Located in Loveland’s historical downtown district, the facilities include 30 studios, two galleries for events and communal areas for the resident artists to come together. The bright studio spaces and secure facility provide artists from all over, a place to collaborate and to hone their individual crafts.

Artworks Loveland takes deep pride in fostering an environment catered to the needs of its residents; however, they do open their doors to small events outside of their exhibitions. Art is meant to be shared and to inspire, so it is not uncommon for them to host business meetings and parties for those who wish to rent the atmosphere of contemporary inspiration.

The nonprofit contemporary art center focuses on offering a wide assortment of contemporary art events for the public.

Between gallery walks and artist talks, there are a lot of reasons to stay in the know of what is happening at this exciting artist hub. While the art center allows for a place to mingle with notable art collectors, enthusiasts and artists, it also offers a stunning backdrop for what contemporary art is.

While Artworks Loveland has many talented resident artists, they are thrilled to showcase Michael Anthony Simon as he shares his current body of work titled The Polychotomy of You, Me and We. Born in Mesa, Arizona, and BFA graduate of The School of The Korner Beige Cheetah Blouse, $78

challenge the eye’s perception.

Michael's newest collection explores our world in the information age; by acknowledging his inability to know his audience, he chooses rather to identify the culture that bombards his audience.

It is with this concept that he engages in his work. The palimpsest of his work manifests itself differently to each person depending on what their own experiences allow them to see.

The works themselves converse with one another but also function to converse with other elements in the room. This concept was

the inspiration for our photo shoot. Fashion is truly a lifestyle, and we decided to see how the gallery at Artworks Loveland could serve to allow for a conversation between high art and high fashion.

“When placed in a room of other systems, they begin to speak to each other and form a connected environment, a new lexicon, a system of information," Dominic Garritano says about Michael's art. "Your experiences will be the arbiter of which elements stand atop.”

Matisse Mid-Calf Black Boot, $189 Chinese Laundry Snake Print Rumor Ankle Heels, $60 Dolce Vita Sonnie Bootie in Leopard, $149

In the same way Michael's work networks between paintings and the audience, we here at Loveland and South Lifestyle decided to honor that notion and do some networking ourselves. Ana Gutierrez, owner of Pilar Boutique on Fourth Street, joined us in our vision to produce these stunning images. The Spanish word pilar translates to “pillar” and signifies a woman of strength, elegance and style. Pilar Boutique is truly a pillar in the downtown community and was an obvious choice for our style issue.

Ana Gutierrez was born and raised in Loveland and began her career in fashion when she was just 18 at her mother’s store, Cloz to Home, also located on Fourth Street. When looking for merchandise for her boutique, Gutierrez is interested in finding pieces that are trending but also classic. Comfort is key, so each piece is

sought-after not just for its aesthetics, but also for how it wears on the body.

NORTHERN COLORADO’S PREMIER

KITCHEN + BATH SHOWROOM

When you enter Pilar, you can expect a welcoming and friendly experience.

So while we appreciate the beauty of conversation between art and fashion, Pilar is working toward a conversation of its own with their unique selection of pieces, and they are sure to put art into motion by matching you with your own style. Pilar values their guests and wants to provide a oneon-one experience catered to helping you find your next look. Their customer service comes from a genuine desire to be helpful and to give you a fun experience. They receive new merchandise each week, so their look is always fresh. Whether you just need to accessorize or you desire a complete look, you are sure to find something fabulous behind their door.

What sets Chris Lane apart from other spas? Besides their passion for creating a one-on-one experience with each client who walks through their door, they care deeply about their community. Beginning at the first of the year, Chris Lane will be teaming up with the Thompson School District to provide sensory-free haircuts once a month to those on the autism spectrum.

This is a service that the duo feels passionate about, as Cori has a 13-yearold son with autism and recognizes the need for every individual to have access to a welcoming experience. Like every service at Chris Lane, the sensory-free haircut will be catered to the individual’s specific needs—whether that means a quiet, music-free atmosphere or being able to watch a movie. Weighted blankets and sensory toys will also be on-hand to allow for ultimate comfort. Of the proceeds from these events, 10% will go to Autism Speaks, funding research, early screening and intervention and spreading awareness and acceptance on a nationwide level.
