September is known as the fashion and style issue in the magazine world, and we are thrilled to participate in the trend. Not only are we bringing you fashion that will help keep you on top of the latest styles, but we are also sharing stylish interior spaces and trendy hotspots around town. Styles are ever-changing, and the fashion world continuously brings us a fresh new take on something from generations past or shares an entirely new concept for us to enjoy. Each decade has its own unique trends, and although some cycle back decades later, the originality of each look that is reflected often times is connected to the culture and music of the day. This month, we bring you the best places to find fashion, do an impromptu photoshoot, and find on-trend accessories around town. Fall is the perfect time for a closet refresh, and we have you covered! We also take a peek into fashion trends for Fall 2022, as well as a look at how one local business owner’s personal style is reflected in her space. In addition, we get you ready for a local gala event where you can strut your stuff and help a good cause at the same time. Fashion can reveal a little bit of our personality, so it is a great way to express ourselves. With that in mind, bring on fall in your own best style, and we will see you around town.

POWER SUITS WITH MINI SKIRTS
ELEVATE YOUR LOOK THIS SEASON FALL FASHION TRENDS
Big, chunky knits are in for fall. Brushed angora and mohair allow oversized sweat ers to look bold yet be light on the body. Look for asymmetrical hems, cut outs, cable knits and patterns. Graphic details and embroidery are part of this season’s sweater collections as well. Have fun with sequins! Mix a sequined skirt with a chunky sweater, or a sequin-stud ded top with jeans. For a special night out, try a sequined dress or accessories. With leather, opt for a trench or long duster jacket, dresses, or pants—even mix them together for a head-to-toe look.
camel Shades of camel and caramel are perfect for leather, sweaters, and suitings. Try a camel-colored cashmere sweater or shoes for an on-trend look. pink Despite not usually being associ ated with fall, pink is big this year, especially in bright shades of hot and “Barbie” pink. Try a pop of pink in your accessories, jewelry, or shoes. black Black is an effortlessly classic color. Look for black leather trench coats and pants, or black velvet dresses or suit skirts. For shoes, try preppy-inspired black statement loafers.
Summer is winding down, and fall is just around the cor ner. With crisp, cooler days on the horizon, the time is right to spice up your wardrobe with some new looks for fall. Not sure where to start? We have a round-up of the latest trends to help you be ready this season. Layering is always a great idea, practically speaking, so it is no surprise that layering is on-trend this fall. Think lay ers and mixing fabrics, both same and different. Combine layers of various lengths, different fabrics (opaque with sheer, knits with suitings), mixing knits with knits, or headto-toe leather looks. For accessories, aim for a touch of old Hollywood glam our with opera gloves. Chunky bangles worn stacked on the wrist, choker necklaces, oversized pearls, and state ment sunglasses with bold black frames complete the look. Scarves and even menswear-inspired neckties are a part of many designer’s fall collections for this year. Here are some of the top trends and colors for fall 2022:
Be daring with prints this fall. Animal prints and bold monochromatic prints are great options, or even mix prints for a fashion-forward look. Don’t shy away from big prints and bright colors, but do choose them wisely if you are petite to avoid being overwhelmed by your outfit. Think big, bold looks—oversized jackets paired with mini skirts in pleats, tweeds, or checks. Jackets take on a menswear look with a twist with broad, take-charge shoulders. For a casual look, try pairing suit jackets with sportwear such as jeans or sneakers.

Bleeding gums indicate the presence of gum disease. If left untreated, gum disease can cause damage to gum and bone tissue, leading to the eventual loss of teeth. It is also linked to severe health issues such as cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes.
For over 25 years, our practice has provided exceptional treatment for gum disease. Drs. Nemeth and Katranji are passionate about restoring smiles, eliminating harmful bacteria, and helping patients enjoy a healthier lifestyle through outstanding oral care. Do your gums bleed when you floss or brush?

Dr. Sindy Goodman, of Maple Orthodontics in West Bloomfield, had a unique path toward orthodontics. As a child, her family’s financial situation prevented her from receiving regular dental care. “I never saw a dentist until I was 19 years old,” says Dr. Sindy. “I was at college. I had earned a ton of scholarships. And I had a terrible toothache.” After receiving treatment, she was inspired. “My original path as a child was to be a physician,” she says, but she then decided to pursue dentistry. In dental school, she decided to focus on orthodontics.
Maple Orthodontics is Dr. Sindy’s new practice, which she owns along with her husband, Dr. Robert Goodman, and Dr. Brandon Shoukri. All three are board-certified orthodontists and proud to own their own independent practice. Dr. Sindy notes, “We are the face of our practice. When you come, you are seeing the owners, Dr.

At Maple Orthodontics, which offers traditional braces, clear braces, and Invisalign, says Dr. Sindy, “We offer com plimentary consultations, and second opinions at no charge. We focus on what we would expect if these were our own children.” For more information, visit mapleortho.net .

Dr. Sindy is proud of what she and her colleagues have accomplished. “I was the only Chaldean orthodontist in the United States for 20 years,” says Dr. Sindy. “The second was Dr. Brandon. That’s how we met and became partners.” At Maple Orthodontics, she notes, “We stay up to date. We give back to our profession. We focus on excellence.”
Of course, while skilled treatment and good relationships are most important, Dr. Sindy also enjoys sharing her personal style. The bright, new office at Maple Orthodontics conveys this with its hightech, contemporary, clean look. With its light colors, glass, and sleek presentation, Dr. Sindy seeks to reflect the kind of clean, professional, and up-to-date services she offers. “When I walk into a restaurant and the bathroom is clean, I know the kitchen is clean,” she muses, suggesting the impor tance of first impressions.
— Dr. Sindy Goodman
“We offer complimentary consultations, and second opinions at no charge. We focus on what we would expect if these were our own children.”
At home, Dr. Sindy is the parent of two high-schoolers and an 8th grader. She and her husband, Dr. Robert, stay involved with their children’s schools. Dr. Sindy enjoys gardening and enter taining at her Orchard Lake home, while Dr. Robert prefers golf and participating in the Dad’s Club at school. As for Dr. Brandon, he is excited to have a child on the way. Says Dr. Sindy, “Kids are our everything. When your child is happy, you are happy.” She believes this is also important when choosing treatment providers for your child, and they keep that in mind at Maple Orthodontics, striving to focus on in-person relation ships over posts on social media.

caring coaches is there to guarantee “each child is seen and heard”. Although the coaches are there to teach the kids, Malia says they take away valuable lessons too.
“An active fitness routine is important for youth physical fitness and the earlier they are taught its value, the more likely they are to maintain these healthy habits in their teen and adult years,” says Malia. From ages 10 months to 13 years old, S.W.A.G offers a variety of classes, each designed to strengthen physical and mental toughness and form healthy habits at a young age. Not only do these classes include fun through fit ness, they also exude their swag through fun names!
The names are undeniably creative, yes… but the best part is that S.W.A.G Kids Gym offers a free trial class. This allows families to see the gym, meet coaches, and experience workouts firsthand!
The Little Rockets (ages 10 months to 2 years) will have the kids jumping to the moon and climbing on the stars.
“S.W.A.G has taught each of us the value of a collective and positive effort. The successes we've had as a team, as well as in our classes, are a true testament to teamwork makes the dream work! I believe S.W.A.G has allowed each of us to highlight and put forth our strengths to grow as leaders in youth health and fitness.”
What makes fitness "swaggy"? Is it how fast you run? Is it how strong you are? Malia Gaddy, operations director of S.W.A.G Kids Gym, says it best. “Fun through fitness really is a lifestyle, but being a good person is just as important as being physically fit.” A place founded on three main principles: Education of Physical Literacy, Entertainment for Enjoyment, and Inspiring Future Generations, S.W.A.G gym was built to transform young mindsets. According to Malia, S.W.A.G. ensures “an environment where each child can reach their personal best without feeling pressure to meet a performance standard.” It’s a place where every body not only knows your name, but cheers it. Malia emphasizes the importance of individual growth and how participating at S.W.A.G gym can benefit not just kids but everyone in the gym.
