THEY SAY IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD. Well, it also takes a village to assemble our annual fall fashion issue. Our fashion spreads this month couldn’t have been possible without the help from many people, so I’d like to take a moment to thank them.

The Clothes: It’s challenging to assemble a fall fashion issue in the middle of July, but thanks to some of our amazing partners we were able to do that. Designer Items and More, Symmetry Boutique & Gallery and Interiors Plus provided the beautiful fashions featured in this issue based on what’s trending this fall. These boutiques are all locally owned by women living right here in West Chester & Liberty Townships.

The Models: As a 40+ year-old mom, one of my pet peeves is flipping through fashion magazines and seeing 18-year-olds wearing size 00 modeling clothes that are targeted to grown women. Inside our pages we’re showcasing “real” women, all moms who live locally. These ladies are beautiful on the inside and out and did a FANTASTIC job. Learn more about Jen, Shwetha and Courtney inside.

The Look: The expert team at Pure Concept Salon in Liberty Center was able to enhance the natural radiance of our models by styling their hair and applying their

He made our models feel comfortable to get the perfect pose —even on a hot day with spectators watching. My incredible editor, Abbey Bradley, helped navigate all the complicated logistics that it took to put this issue together. I’m blessed to have her by my side.

HIGH-IMPACT CLOSET THREE TYPES OF PIECES ESSENTIAL TO ANY WOMAN'S CLOSET ARTICLE KATIE BRAY | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

A GREAT WARDROBE NEEDS THREE THINGS, ACCORDING TO LOCAL FASHION EXPERT FELISA INSIGNARES: INVESTMENT PIECES, ITEMS THAT WILL MAKE AN IMPACT, AND A FEW THAT ARE “ON TREND” FOR A SEASON. And no need to travel the globe for these elevated fashion pieces. You can find new, gently-used and vintage couture at Designer Items and More, Insignares’ designer boutique in Olde West Chester. The boutique features designers like Akris, Armani, Christian Louboutin, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Valentino and more.

“Every woman is so unique and depending on who she is and her lifestyle, there might be specific occasions where she wants to feel her most confident and look her best,” Insignares says. “And that is empowering…Fashion should be an opportunity to bring joy to women’s lives.”

Q: WHAT ARE INVESTMENT PIECES?

+ invest in:

A: An investment piece, like a great power suit, is something you’re going to wear year after year. They look terrific, have longevity, fit well and will give you that confidence to ask for that promotion or nail that presentation. You want the pieces you wear to

empower you. A lot of my clients invest beyond their suit as well. You’re going to wear it year after year, and if you do the math, it basically pays for itself.

Q: WHAT ARE IMPACT PIECES?

+ Power suit

+ Little black dress + White blouse + Great pair of pumps and boots + Designer handbag + Jeans

+ moments for impact:

A: Now that we have social media, everyone is taking photos, and there are times that you’re going to be photographed and seen by hundreds and maybe thousands of friends. So, you ask yourself, “Do you want to make an impact? How many eyeballs will

see this?” These types of standout pieces will not only make you feel great, but they also

celebrate and embody that moment. The fabric and the fit should make you feel radiant.

Q: WHAT ARE TREND PIECES?

+ fall trends:

A: Trend pieces are the ones that I typically tell my clients they don’t need to spend too

much money on. It’s fun, it might not be around next season, but you get a chance to be a part of that trend piece. They might be a fad like feathered earrings, or they may have lasting power like skinny jeans. If you’re not absolutely in love with it, but you want to be a little trendy, then go for it and add a few of these pieces to your wardrobe. And if you

LOCAL ORGANIZATION USES CLOTHING TO BUILD A COMMUNITY AND AWARENESS ARTICLE SHAWNA TAYLOR PHOTOGRAPHY ERIC THOMAS PHOTOGRAPHY

WHILE CLOTHING MEANS FASHION FOR SOME, FOR OTHERS IT’S MERELY A NECESSITY AND BASIC CLOTHING IS SOMETIMES HARD TO COME BY. It can serve as a source of comfort and instill confidence in its young wearer. Sarah Coleman knows this to be true. As Executive Director of Hope’s Closet, a children’s clothing boutique and non-profit organization in Hamilton, Coleman has seen lives transformed through the services provided by Hope’s Closet, which enriches the lives of families that are impacted by children’s services.

A few years ago, Coleman, a mother of eight—two of whom were adopted through foster care and one who is a foster child—worked with other foster parents to brainstorm ideas to improve foster homes. They wanted to not only meet physical needs, but also educate and support foster parents while transforming the community’s perception of foster care.

“We want to love, provide and inspire foster families in our community,” Coleman expresses.

It’s not just one thing, but an entire suite of services that are available at Hope’s Closet. In addition to their clothing boutique, which provides clothes to children in foster care, Hope’s Closet offers support groups and training for foster parents, a birthday club, school backpacks and holiday celebrations for children as well as activities for the entire family.

(CON TI N U ED)

“Each one of those services are things that help build intentional relationships and rebuild families,” Coleman explains. “We are offering a relational community. It’s not just the children who feel like this is a safe place, but also the foster parents. If someone is struggling they can feel comfortable and confident that they are in an environment where others understand and are there to support them.”

Children have their first opportunity to shop at Hope’s Closet when they are placed in a home, and they are given additional opportunities to shop once in the spring and once in the fall as well as any time they experience a size change. They service children from birth until age 18.

Hope’s Closet has an opportunity to interact with and impact families at least once each month if not more. Foster parents, who are required to participate in continuing education, can visit the boutique for their required training, during which dinner and childcare are provided. Parents are also invited to participate in Foster Mom or Dad Night Out, where they can have a much-needed night of relaxation and support. In addition to these services, families are invited to a closed Facebook group for continued communication and celebration.

Coleman says the reward in managing Hope’s Closet is seeing the community transformation that takes place. Coleman has seen volunteers, with no prior exposure to foster care, become foster parents as a result of their time with the organization.

“It allows them to meet the children as children, and not foster children,” Coleman states. “They just need caring people from our community to step forward and say, ‘Yes.’ These kids don’t have to be scary.

There’s always a way for people in our community to support them.”

“THEY JUST NEED CARING PEOPLE FROM OUR COMMUNITY TO STEP FORWARD AND SAY, ‘YES.’ THERE’S ALWAYS A WAY FOR PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT THEM.” Hope’s Closet is located at 322 Dayton Street in Hamilton. There are multiple ways to get involved, including donating kids’ clothing, helping with childcare, sorting clothes and supplies, planning events or having your group or class pack bags.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, FASHION ANNUAL FASHION ISSUE SHOWS WHAT'S HOT THIS FALL ARTICLE ABBEY BRADLEY PHOTOGRAPHY LEN KALTMAN-WEST CHESTER CORPORATE PHOTOGRAPHY

DESIGNER DIANE VON FURSTENBERG ONCE SAID, “STYLE IS SOMETHING EACH OF US ALREADY HAS, ALL WE NEED TO DO IS FIND IT.” And it’s true. A good outfit can help us feel confident, powerful, elevated. Combine that with styled hair, fresh makeup and a whimsical location, and you have the quintessential fashion photo shoot.

Two local moms and businesswomen recently found their inner fashionistas at Voice of America Park in West Chester, the perfect setting for the fashion issue of West Chester & Liberty Lifestyle.

Jen Best and Shwetha Pai know what it’s like to juggle families and careers, and each woman does so with her own sense of style and class. Featuring clothing from Designer Items and More in Olde West Chester and Interiors Plus in Mason, the pair effortlessly modeled these looks with assistance from stylists at Pure Concept Salon + Spa. 26

West Chester & Liberty Lifestyle | September 2018

N West Chester’s Jen Best recently became the Director of Marketing and PR at the West ChesterLiberty Chamber of Commerce. She and her husband, Greg, have three children in the Lakota school district and you’ll often find them at their kids’ baseball games, band concerts and dance.

Best loved the practical ease of this ensemble from Designer Items and More and says she appreciates how everyone’s style is unique rather than a one-size-fits-all.

“I absolutely love that everyone’s sense of fashion is different and usually identifiable in some way or another,” Best says. “I bet I could walk through a mall and put together a complete look for all of the women in my life, and every single outfit would be unique, just like them.”

West Chester’s Shwetha Pai has a knack for finding and wearing a stylish outfit.

“What excites me about fashion is always the simplicity and quality—whenever I see simple designs that are made with high quality materials and craftsmanship, you know it will last a long time and be a very versatile piece,” Pai says.

Pai and her husband have two young girls—Raeva is five years old and Rhisha is three-and-a-half. Pai is part of the vibrant startup community in Cincinnati and currently works out of Union Hall.

Here she looks stylish and sassy in a perfectly-fitted pair of Colombian jeans, the stand-out piece in this ensemble from Designer Items and More.

As she models this comfortable look from Interiors Plus, Best says she finds fashion inspiration from those around her.

“I think I draw my inspiration from other real women. When I am at home I am extra casual and comfortable. You can always catch me in spirit wear for baseball or band!” Best says, with a smile. “When I’m at work, I would describe my style as conservative.”

Her favorite part of any outfit? The earrings. In this look Best is wearing metal earrings and a coordinating metal clock necklace from Interiors Plus.

When she’s not at the office or volunteering, Best is spending quality time with her family.

“I love my husband and our children more than I could ever describe,” Best says. “They inspire me every single day.”

THE LOOK | Designer Items and More: Theory green dress, Red Valentino leopard jacket, Christian Louboutin purse, Jimmy Choo shoes, vintage hoop earrings

In this simple yet stylish dress by Theory, Pai says her fashion inspiration has come from her time traveling.

“I draw my inspiration mostly through walking around and being in different countries and cities and seeing the people on the street. I love being in Midtown Manhattan mainly because you see fashion that everyday people are wearing when they are going to work or doing other things,” Pai explains. “Seeing what everyday people wear is inspiring and also comforting.”

Indeed, it’s the people around us who often inspire. Fashion gives us a platform to communicate without saying a word. Perhaps designer Yves Saint Laurent said it best: “Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who’s wearing it.”

EXPO SNEAK PEEK OF THE ANNUAL HOME EXPO AT CARRIAGE HILL ARTICLE MICHELLE MOODY PHOTOGRAPHY SNAPPY GEORGE PHOTOGRAPHY, JOSH BEEMAN PHOTOGRAPHY, & PROVIDED WE ALL KNOW HOW BUSY WEEKENDS ARE THIS TIME OF YEAR. Between fall sports, errands and home projects, the “to-do list” can start to feel never-ending. If you know this feeling, then we have the perfect event for you.

The second annual West Chester & Liberty Lifestyle Home Expo at Carriage Hill will be held on Saturday, September 15 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and it can serve as your one-stop-shop to check off many of the items on that proverbial to-do list.

The Home Expo begins in the adult clubhouse, The Terry Gatehouse, near the main entrance to the sprawling, master-planned community—Carriage Hill. Many of our advertising partners will be on-site to meet our readers and help you accomplish some of the items on your weekend checklist. We’ll have vendors in the home services industry, medical teams, financial experts, pet services and more.

Throughout the day they’ll be giving out over $2,500 in prizes.

Visitors can also enjoy pop-up shops from some of your favorite local stores. Students from West Chester Academy will be providing music throughout the day, and attendees will even be able to paint a bowl for the upcoming C3 Empty Bowls event.
