LIFESTYLE LETTER

Cheers to you!

September 2025 PUBLISHER

Hey there, I hope this issue finds you feeling inspired, and maybe even ready to shake things up a bit.

Style is such a fascinating part of who we are.

It’s not just about what we wear—it shows up in the little details of daily life. It’s in the way we decorate our spaces, the music we vibe to, the books we love, and how we show up in the world.

It’s all these things, and more, that tell the story of us.

What I love most about style is how personal it is. It grows and shifts as we do. As we try new things, lean into our quirks, or even just figure out what feels most like us, our style quietly evolves in the background. It’s a way of saying who we are or how we are feeling—without needing to say a word.

One of my favorite things about living in this area is the abundance of inspiration that surrounds us. From local shops and makers to creative business owners and events—there are so many ways to get inspired and express yourself in a way that feels real and exciting. We were blessed to partner with some incredible businesses this month, including The Bees Knees, LuvLeigh Apparel, and LJ Artisan Jewelry. This is our third year participating in this theme, so we had to go all out. Style is all about celebrating the things that make us unique, and I think we captured that!

This month, I want to invite you to think of style not as something you “put on,” but as something that already lives inside you. The most powerful style is the one that reflects who you really are—your story, your spark, your perspective. No one else can replicate that, and that’s the magic.

Here’s to embracing your unique vibe—whatever that looks like.

With love,

C re a t i n g Connections The inspiration behind the artwork of Megan Leigh Najera

ARTICLE BY MICHELLE PARNELL | PHOTOGRAPHY BY SAVANNA ROMANO Artist, Megan Leigh Najera, centers her creative style on portraying nature in a way that fosters a deeper sense of connection, both personally and for those experiencing her art. Each mural and piece of artwork she creates carries a purposeful and meaningful message, focusing on enhancing mental well-being and providing a connection for people with nature and one another.

“I've realized that being outside and cultivating the connection that humans have to nature is incredibly transformative,” shares Megan. “When I'm painting, I'm trying to communicate that experience and give people that moment of connection so that even if they're not outside, they can see my work and get that same feeling.”

ELEVATED LIVING WITH VERDE

“WE INVITE YOU TO STOP BY, SAY HELLO,

AND CHECK OUT SOME OF OUR LATEST DESIGNS!”

“There are 360 degrees, so why stick to one?”— Zaha Hadid.

Verde Outdoors believes that this quote captures their commitment to pushing creative boundaries and exploring every possibility with their innovative designs.

Verde Outdoors was founded in 2015, with a mission to transform outdoor spaces into luxurious retreats through innovative design and quality craftsmanship.

The business idea developed from a passion for creating beautiful, functional outdoor environments and a recognition of the potential to elevate outdoor living in North Texas. Between the two owners of Verde Outdoors, there is a combined experience of 25 years in the pool and landscaping industry, and they are committed to delivering unparalleled design. This award-winning company is family-owned and incorporates the use of the most up-to-date materials,

technologies, and design trends to streamline the process to deliver outdoor living environments that are not only aesthetically pleasing and functional, but also within their customers’ budget.

A key distinction in their approach is that their designers are the primary project managers for their customers’ projects. The company’s co-owner, Colby Walding, says, “The main point of contact will be the same individual from the consultation, throughout the design, all the way to the end product." Colby asserts that the company diligently works to develop and maintain a reputation of integrity, superior planning and execution, quality construction, and customer satisfaction.

Verde Outdoor’s design process is fundamentally centered on creating a personalized experience for each client. They prioritize and understand the unique needs, CONTINUED > S EP TEMB ER 2 0 2 5 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/ N O RT HL A KE

preferences, and specific characteristics of their space to craft a tailored design that reflects their lifestyle and complements a customer’s home. Instead of relying on generic templates, Verde Outdoor focuses on delivering innovative, one-of-a-kind outdoor environments.

Their overall goal is to design backyards that are just as inviting and enjoyable from inside the home as they are outside. This adds beauty and harmony in a way that Colby believes can enhance the overall aesthetic and value of each property.

Verde Outdoor’s design process includes 3D visualization tools to help ensure that their clients can fully experience their new space before construction even begins; on average, each project could take around 3 to 6 months. This allows them the ability to maintain meticulous attention to detail throughout the process.

26

I NSP IR E D BY | HO ME + D E SIGN

“We absolutely love collaborations.

Especially with discerning clients who value innovative design and are open to unique ideas, as it enables us to fully express our creativity and craft tailor-made solutions that exceed their expectations,” Colby professes.

He then shares news that everyone can get excited about! “We are thrilled to announce that Verde Outdoors has just moved into a new location in Downtown Roanoke! It’s nestled right on the famous main strip, also known as the “Unique Dining Capital of Texas.”

If you're looking to elevate your space, Verde Outdoors is ready to assist. Verde Outdoors implores you to stop by, check out their designs, and enjoy the surrounding area! Their social media and website pages have a variety of great work-related examples to help provide visual assistance. Check them out at https://www. verdeoutdoors.com.

Everyone Needs Some Love, Including Your Hair!

Blo Blow Dry Bar in Argyle, Texas is the perfect place to pamper your hair.

ARTICLE BY KENNEDY WOOD PHOTOGRAPHY BY SAVANNA ROMANO

C O N T A C T : For more information, you can visit Blo Blow Dry Bar’s website at https://blomedry.com/blo-argyle/.

WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON MISTAKES YOU SEE IN HAIR CARE?

"One of the most common mistakes people make is their hair washing schedule. Over-washing can strip your natural oils, which keep hair nourished, and not washing enough can lead to scalp buildup. Also, when it comes to using hot tools, heat protectant is a must! Skipping this step can lead to heat weakening the hair shaft, which can lead to split ends, dryness, and breakage over time. At Blo Argyle, we help our clients protect their hair with the right products and a water softener system."

HOW TO KEEP HAIR HEALTHY YEAR-ROUND?

“Seasonal changes greatly impact our hair; we recommend services such as a Dream Coat to moisturize and tame frizz. As we transition to fall and get the first snap of cold, our hair can really begin to dry out, which is why moisturizing is so important. One of my favorite options is the Moisture Lock Blowout; this service begins with a deep hydrating mask, such as the Olaplex 4-in-1 Moisture Mask, and finishes with smoothing products like the Unite Silky Smooth System to tame frizz and lock in moisture. My number one tip is to consistently moisturize! No matter the season, hydration and protection are key to maintaining strong and shiny hair."

WHAT’S A MYTH ABOUT HAIR CARE THAT YOU WISH MORE PEOPLE KNEW THE TRUTH ABOUT?

"There’s a common myth that dry shampoo is only for dirty or oily hair, but truthfully, it works best as a preventative tool. I always recommend applying it right after a fresh wash and blowout, or 1-2 days after washing. It creates a dry barrier that absorbs oil before it builds up, which helps keep your scalp feeling fresh and can extend the life of your blowout by several days!"

ARTICLE BY TYLER AMADEUS | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ADRIEN KING AND ALEC WALWORTH

this unexpected love affair, fashion and interiors are more than just a simple pairing—they are rooted in culture, creativity, and the human desire for self-expression.

As conscious consumers of the 21st century, participating in a retail landscape that is oversaturated and struggling to adapt to the ever-changing demands of the modern customer, our purchasing power should not only respond to a feeling of want but also prioritize items that reflect who we are and who we aspire to be. This is clearly visible through the representation of fashion and interiors.

Although we tend to consider cost-per-wear primarily when it comes to clothing, this same

principle applies to furniture and the function it brings to the home. Aesthetics and functionality both play a role in this pairing, painting a picture for the rest of the world of who the wearer is and how they live in their space.

The woman who wears a blazer with sharp shoulders that makes her feel powerful in her everyday life—or the black dress that gives her a necessary boost of confidence—may naturally gravitate toward sleek, modern furniture that feels equally strong and elevates the space where the modern woman thrives.

In the same way, someone who prefers an effortless ensemble—like their favorite white T-shirt and comfortable denim CONTINUED >

jeans—may also look for home pieces that are functional and make their guests feel at ease. Even a handmade rug, one that sparks conversation about where it was found and adds a focal point to a room, mirrors how we search our closets for a sweater tied to a cherished memory.

Just as we carefully choose outfits to express ourselves, it’s equally important to ensure that our living spaces are designed with the same intention. More than ever, modern buyers are making purchasing decisions based on personal morals and values, forming a new wave of consumers who seek products that are both high-quality and environmentally or socially conscious, whether for themselves or their homes.

The following imagery affirms that living a timeless lifestyle across all aspects of life is possible through the thoughtful styling of sustainable clothing and vintage furniture. As the modern retail landscape continues to evolve, it’s become increasingly vital to make conscious consumer choices—ones that allow us to express our truest selves through both our wardrobes and the places we call home.
