While I never possessed pieces by Halston, Dior or Yves Saint Laurent, I somehow found my confidence from simple separates and today have more blue in my closet than I probably should.

But, style is personal.

And, fashion is about finding things that make you feel like the best you.

POPPIN'

Good

TRIFECTA

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD AN UNEXPECTED MOMENT OF HAPPINESS ( UMOH )? The

people who put the POP in King of Pops hope it was when you had one of their popsicles in hand. Two brothers, Steven and Nick Carse turned their pushcart business into a dream come true on UMoH at a time.

The pops originate from the King of Crops which is a farm in Winston, Georgia. The locally sourced produce goes straight from the farm into the handmade pops. A few unique flavors include blackberry ginger lemon, chocolate sea salt, sweet tea n’ lemonade, banana puddin’ and raspberry rosewater. Some festive seasonal favorites include Mexican chocolate, pineapple habanero, and watermelon mojito. The farm manager grew up in Brookhaven and is now very happy to be giving back to the neighborhood that raised him.

Grab a pop at farmers markets nearby. Join the Salad Club and pre-order locally grown produce—it'll will be ready and waiting at the rainbow umbrella.

The happiness does not end there. King of Pops is a huge supporter of their community as a nonprofit

Smart Men's Center

organization. They give back to the community through programs such as Quality Care for Children (QCC) helping alleviate the problem of Georgia’s summer food gap and Life Line Animal Project (LLAP) working to end the euthanasia of healthy and treatable dogs and cats in Dekalb and Fulton counties.

King of Pops has made many visits to elementary schools through their Little Kings program teaching young school children about setting up businesses and how to reuse foods in ways such as composting.

GAZAL BRINGS STYLE AND INSIGHT TO NEW OPTICAL BOUTIQUE PICKING OUT GLASSES WITH ANDY AND GAZAL TABRIZIPOUR IS LIKE SHOPPING WITH A VERY SAVVY PERSONAL STYLIST WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THE FRAMES. They ask about lifestyle (do you workout? spend time in an office?). And, they study the prescription to determine specific needs that will affect a frame choice. Smart!

I’m nearly blind in one eye, so I depended on the staff for their honest opinions while trying on frames. I trusted them to help me look like a better me. I gravitated toward the styles designed by Gazal herself.

The shapes, colors and sturdiness of her frames were appealing and varied, making the choice a challenge and the process super fun. Together, we chose a sassy frame and Andy promised my heavy prescription would be managed thanks to his quality lens manufacturer - the very best in the industry. “The craftsmen for the eyewear line are based in Japan and we were lucky enough to connect with them while in Milan searching for materials for future designs,” said Andy.

“While working closely with them, we have become good friends. Unfortunately, last year one of the main engineers passed away from cancer. Gazal has a new frame in honor of his hard work that was also named after him. The frame design is called Kondo and is circular in shape to represent the circle of life.”

Gazal Eyewear opened in Roswell this summer, the couple’s second full-service optical boutique.

Their first successful shop, Atlanta Vision Optical is in town (at Edgewood, near Inman Park) and celebrates 28

its tenth anniversary this year. Gazal’s inspired line was first launched there alongside styles

by Jacques Marie Mage, Lindberg, and Dita Eyewear. Gazal Eyewear & Sunglasses can also be found at other fine opticians across the country. Being a long time eyeglass wearer, she always wanted something that not only looked good but felt absolutely amazing. She launched her first collection of eyewear, The Legacy Collection, in 2014 from their intown boutique and has since then released a wide-selection of breathtaking frames each year. There are a total of three stunning collections in addition, the Karma Collection, and the Wicked Collection.

They also fit actors and big screen zombies with contact lenses and design luxury eyewear.

They chose Roswell for their second business, as a homecoming. “We lived off Crabapple for years before moving closer to the Edgewood location. We have always been in love with the historic downtown Roswell for its look and feel and for the amazing community that built and sustain it,” Gazal said. “We’re proud to be a part of such a vital community and look forward to fitting many of our neighbors with beautiful eyeglasses and sunglasses to make them feel and look their very best.”

The frames shown here are from the new Karma collection. Each piece is carefully handcrafted with different polishing techniques to give it a smooth and shiny finish in front, with textured and matte finishes on the temple to create a well balanced look. The feel is also balanced by using a design that conforms more naturally to the face and head and uses lightweight and durable titanium eyewear and hinges. From the top are the ClassE Sunglasses, Four Leaf Sunglasses and Seven Sunglasses..

Bottom, is a full titanium and ergonomic design, from the Wicked collection. Each Wicked frame has a titanium temple with an ergonomic tip that conforms perfectly to each person.
