Editor's letter

It's that time of year again, the air is crisp, the days are getting shorter, and it's finally time to swap out the summer clothing for something a little warmer. Don't worry, though; we have you set with cosy jumpers, stylish outerwear, and chunky boots. The main trends we focus on in this issue are bold brights - perfect for cheering up dull days, quilting and everything that sparkles.

Are you in need of a new coat? We have featured our favourite outerwear pieces that should keep you snug and stylish throughout the winter (page 22).

We have two fashion editorials featured in this issue. For our first shoot, 'Down on the Farm', Mark Stephenson photographs Tilly in earthy tones and textures at Master Farms. Our second shoot, 'After Dark,' was shot at Vinifera – the perfect backdrop for Laina, who looked terrific in velvets, blacks and golds.

After a weird, pandemic-stricken 18 months, it finally seems like things are returning to normal, so this issue focuses on celebration.

Harriet Rouse, the owner of Harriet & Rose, dons our cover in a beautiful Self-Portrait dress. Not only has Harriet kept her online business going during Covid, but she has also opened up a gorgeous shop right on King Street. Harriet talks about all things retail and her journey to bricks and mortar (page 43).

Abi Overland is known for her stunning illustrations, but she is also an advocate for slow fashion. She talks all about her love of second-hand styling and charity shop finds (page 24).

Whilst we're concentrating on celebrating, Stephen Cohu shares why preloved jewellery has so much to offer, including individuality and value for money (page 18).

This issue also includes a six-page gift guide - full of ideas at every price, Christian Gott shares his recipes for a traditional Christmas dinner, and Kate Morrison tells us all about her favourite products for a festive glam makeover.

Whatever your plans may be over the Christmas period, stay safe and enjoy!

PRELOVED JEWELLERY A REASON TO CELEBRATE

"The jewellery market has changed from people simply collecting jewellery to wanting to buy things they can wear every day", says Stephen Cohu

There are many reasons people consider buying a piece of jewellery - to celebrate a birthday, an anniversary, a birth (a pushing present as they have become known!), a gift for a friend. Still, the best reason of all is that it is beautiful and makes the wearer feel good!

The human race has adorned themselves with all manner of jewellery for thousands of years, from pre-history to the present day, and although styles may change, the meanings remain the same. Antique and pre-loved jewellery is an excellent way of celebrating. There doesn’t even need to be a special reason, buy it and enjoy it for its quality and uniqueness and of course, its great value for money compared to buying new! A gift of remembrance, a celebration of a special moment, a simple gesture of love or friendship or perhaps just a purchase for its beauty and

enjoyment, jewellery has it all. Many peoples’ perceptions of vintage or antique jewellery will be that it is old fashioned, something your granny might have worn and does not fit in with our busy way of life. That may be true of some of it, but much is very wearable today. The jewellery market has changed from people simply collecting jewellery to wanting to buy things they can wear every day, in the house, at work, in the garden, to go out. A classic drop off in demand is for brooches, but an attractively priced Victorian diamond brooch will look fabulous against a dark sweater or jacket and can be worn on any occasion. Much contemporary jewellery is mass-produced, so you no longer get those unique pieces created possibly hundreds of years ago. Most of the high street jewellers’ windows will display exactly the same items, often at what we would consider breathtaking prices.

Fine Victorian cameo £380

A good example is the ubiquitous 0.25 carat diamond solitaire engagement ring. For the same money preloved, you could get a much bigger diamond, probably better quality and of course with much more consideration and enjoyment of choosing it.

Anniversaries are one of the most popular times to buy jewellery, the gift becoming progressively more expensive the more years passed showing your devotion to your partner. The etiquette for which material to celebrate which anniversary really only became standardised in the early 20th century with the publication of the book “Etiquette in Society, in Business, in politics and at Home” published in 1922, which listed gift suggestions for certain key milestone years. This list has been added to and modernised over the last 100 years to become the standard list we have today.

Different countries have different lists and likewise different birthstones. In the UK, you have to wait 25 years for silver, 30 years for pearl, 35 coral, 40 ruby, 50 gold, 55 emerald and a huge 60 years for diamond. No way should you wait 60 years to give a loved one a diamond; we think diamonds are suitable for any anniversary! A gift of rubies for 40 years has become very traditional, and you can find many beautiful, unique pieces of pre-loved ruby jewellery that would be a gift to be treasured forever.

From above:

Mabe pearl and diamond 18ct gold earrings £980

Diamond and turquoise earrings £2750

Emerald and diamond 18ct gold ring £2850

Ruby and diamond 18ct gold ring £1950

14ct gold, pearl and diamond brooch £1600

Perhaps surprisingly, one of the recent developments in “tradition” has been giving a diamond solitaire as an engagement ring. The popularity of diamonds for engagement gifts only came about around 1947 when De Beers, the world’s largest diamond company, came up with the advertising slogan “A diamond is forever”. Before this, any stone could be given, and indeed, we recently sold a fine blue sapphire with a diamond surround as an engagement ring. Such is the power of marketing that today, it would be seen as out of place not to give a diamond for an engagement gift. Things are changing, though, with our younger clientele seeking out jewels that are unique, that can be any precious stone, antique and vintage pieces with a story to tell with previous lives of love and devotion. So much has changed from Roman times when engagement rings signified the woman was owned by a man, nothing to do with love or sentiment!

Pre-owned jewellery not only celebrates past and future love but is eminently wearable to simply give pleasure to the wearer, a wealth of beautiful, unique craftsman made pieces at very affordable prices. We stock a vast range of jewellery at our St Lawrence showroom to give you as many ideas as you could ever need. A celebration for every occasion, you really can’t go wrong.

The art of slow

Abi Overland is known for her small-batch ceramics and art prints, but she is also a fan of slow fashion, which she promotes through her blog 'The Art of Slow'.

Around the time I established my business, I was in the process of sourcing quality manufacturers and producers, and I started to really notice how cheap clothes were on the high street and how little they must have cost to produce. Knowing how much it costs to produce items ethically and environmentally friendly, I realised that something was pretty wrong in the production chain.

It starts with the dangerous working conditions women are subjected to, the poor pay and long hours. The

environmental impact is enormous - the sector accounts for 10% of the global greenhouse gas emissions. The plastic microfibres make their way from the cheap clothes, through the washing machine, into the sea, eaten by fish, and then eaten by us. It's not a very convenient truth, but truth it is nonetheless. Not to mention the number of fast fashion houses that base their business model around stealing designs from independent and small fashion designers. As an artist, let me tell you - it is seriously not cool, man.

I've always been one for charity shops, car boot sales and eBay, but this realisation convinced me to buy mainly second hand or source ethical fashion brands. Once I had committed to it, shopping became way more fun, creative, and affordable - which helps when you're a poor artist.

I started my blog, 'The Art of Slow', as a lover of fashion and styling to highlight that you can still be very 'fashion' with a charity shop haul, giving tips on how to best search for items on eBay and showing off sustainable cute finds from small brands. The intention is to show that you can indulge your love of fashion without compromising your morals or style. I wanted it to be motivating and inspiring; I wanted to normalise second hand being the go-to when you need a bit of retail therapy.

The name of the blog goes hand in hand with the process, it is, of course, harder to find things if you have a specific idea of what you need, but the reward you feel when you see it (and usually at a great price too!) is very satisfying. Once you've changed your mindset from having fast fashion at your fingertips to a more mindful and slow way of buying, changes your attitude towards the clothes in your wardrobe. They are no longer an afterthought. They are a prize. One that you've searched far and wide for, that you treasure and love. How great as well that's it's totally guilt-free? When you buy from a charity shop you are saving items from landfill, it's cost you hardly anything, and it's unique to you. It already exists, so there's basically no carbon footprint, and the money goes to charity - winner winner chicken dinner.

Now for the fun stuff, let me throw some tips and tricks your way to get you started on your own second-hand style train. Shopping second hand can be pretty daunting. There's a lot of sifting and little inspiration, so you have to create your own.

Go in with an idea of what you're after and what gaps in your wardrobes need filling. Once you have a clear shopping list in your mind, you will be able to streamline your sift.

Ignore the brand tag. It's so easy to be tempted into buying something that is absolutely not your style because it's a fancy designer brand. You won't wear these items, and they will only go back in the charity shop bag. You've saved on the item; now you can splurge on getting it tailored to fit. Pop into a seamstress and get your items adjusted to fit like a glove. It makes such a difference, and you will have garments that overall, you will have spent the same amount as if they were new, but they are tailored to fit you perfectly. 

Harriet & Rose

If there's one thing you can say for covid (that hasn't already been said), it's that it's changed the way we shop. From stockpiling loo roll to getting to grips with buying seasonally, admitting defeat when your sourdough fails to rise, to ordering as much as you could online through local businesses, we as an island of shoppers have definitely changed our shopping habits, and for the better.

Taking on a shop lease during the height of a pandemic may seem brave, perhaps even foolhardy, but that is precisely what Harriet Rouse has done. Her shop, Harriet and Rose, is now open on King Street - her first venture into bricks and mortar.

Whilst not new to running her own business (she previously co-owned an award-winning bridal jewellery business in the UK and founded the online arm of Harriet & Rose in 2019), the step from online to physical hasn't been without its sacrifices and risks.

"I knew that I needed premises, having officially outgrown the room in our house that I used as a stock room about

a year ago, but hadn't made the decision whether to go for retail or office space. Honestly, the King Street address wasn't even something I was considering until I walked in and realised how much more it would give the business." And more is what it has given the business, initially founded online in 2019. With two floors of retail space, the ground floor is open for business, with the first floor starting to host creative workshops alongside its retail space this autumn.

"I initially started Harriet & Rose because I am truly a last-minute gift buyer. When I moved to Jersey over five years ago, I quickly realised that my late-night online shopping for gifts guaranteed to arrive the next day was a thing of the past. Island living has so many pros, but fast delivery is not one of them! I saw a gap in the market for an online gifting business that only delivered in Jersey and was founded with Jersey in mind. From working with local creatives and businesses to sourcing tide clocks that are a useful gift, I took the plunge in 2019 and launched the website." 

Opening a shop on King Street may not seem like the most logical thing to do during a pandemic. However, Harriet Rouse has done precisely that. And successfully. Harriet shares her experience so far.

The plan was initially for the online business to run for several years before launching a physical shop alongside the website. However, 2020 saw website traffic, demand, and the local shopping movement take off.

"It's really hard to articulate what the pandemic did for my business. I had optimised the website from the early days, but growth was very much organic and on a word-ofmouth basis. Suddenly during lockdown, people worldwide wanted to send gifts to their loved ones on the island, and it was my website that they were coming to. I ensured that I worked with local businesses where I could – my care packages contained Kota candles, locally made fudge and bath salts – and I waived all delivery charges during the time. The pandemic has been devastating for many businesses, but many new ventures have launched out of it. Whether it was out of necessity due to redundancy, or the pandemic shifting the mindset so that people finally took the plunge to launch the business they have dreamed about for years, it will have a lasting impact on the way we all work. I feel really optimistic for the future of small businesses in Jersey."

And there does indeed seem to be a tipping of the balance towards local on the island. From Jersey Skin to The Trading Point in St Lawrence, small, locally founded businesses are springing up across the island and joining the army of independent and creative businesses already thriving.

"Starting a business is not an easy option, but there are so many small businesses emerging now, and it's from the passion for wanting to do something different or offer

a new product. You need that passion! Having your own business is consuming and definitely not an easy option. If you knew the hours, the late nights, the lack of social life that it would lead to, you'd probably not do it. It's one of those things that's almost best to go into a little blindly. When I took on the lease, I knew that I wanted to document and share the decorative process online as well – I didn't have the budget to pay to have the building decorated, so I spent many evenings and weekends decorating and cleaning myself. It's been so lovely to show my customers the process, and we all love to see the struggle and poor paint decisions that have had to be undone! I think that documenting your business journey helps people to see how hard you work. I love accounts with behind the scenes reality as opposed to the polished finished product. Things go wrong. Mistakes happen. It's exhausting, and it's OK to be honest about things not always being easy. It all makes the business better in the long term.

"It's from the passion for wanting to do something different or offer a new product."

"Retail has to be about so much more than just buying something now. It has to be experience-based; you have to have a reason to go into a shop that isn't just needing something. From the branding to the way your shop smells and the music that you play, retailers have to be better than the internet and offer the experiential side that gets us back into St Helier."

With independent businesses breaking through onto King Street, does that mean that retail in St Helier will change on a long term basis? Harriet thinks that it will.

"The best thing about being an independent business is that you can make the rules up! You can stock something that you know will work brilliantly for Jersey that might not work elsewhere. As a small business owner, I think it's key to look at more than just making money. I know that sounds counterintuitive, but whilst you may set up a business to make a living, it doesn't mean that there isn't room to be kind. Kindness in business is so important; whether that's taking time to nurture new talent, support other businesses and share your experiences, or the discretion to see that a customer needs a compliment or even a little gift free of charge sometimes, I'm all about that.

"I think it's human nature to want to pitch small businesses against each other, but if we come together as a community, Jersey gets more amazing businesses and products to choose from. If you are founded from passion and love what you do, there's room for everyone. We all have a point of difference, and the real winners are our

Jersey customers who get choice and businesses that are passionate about what they do and offer." 

SKINCARE WITH A DIFFERENCE

Gaia&Moon, a local soap and skincare business, produce homemade products with sustainability & green issues at the core of its ethics.

After struggling to find a locally produced, palm oil-free, vegan soap, Natalie, founder of Gaia&Moon, realised a gap in the local market.

"I started Gaia&Moon when my youngest son was a baby. I felt I needed something to focus on as I had struggled with my mental health in the past, post pregnancy, and knew a creative outlet would help me.

"I have a very keen interest in plants and their potential to heal and improve our whole selves, and having always made soaps and skincare for friends and family; I decided to turn my hobby into a business."

Always looking for ways to be that little more wastefree and sustainable, Natalie loves incorporating local Genuine Jersey produce into her products. "I make a gorgeous soap that leaves my skin silky soft using the 'silk waste' from locally grown sweetcorn. I also save up our carrot peelings and use that to make a carrot juice which I then incorporate into my lemon & calendula soap to give it its beautiful yellow colour.

"Along with vegetables, the only colours I use come from ground flower petals, plant roots and earth clays, whilst I only ever use pure essential oils to scent my products."

Jersey has an excellent, growing support network for eco, sustainable businesses, and Natalie says connecting with like-minded companies has been very inspiring.

FESTIVE GLAM

This winter season is all about 90s supermodel vibes, rich jewel-toned lips and smokey metallic eyes, says Kate Morrison

Burgundy lips are a timeless winter trend evocative of old Hollywood glam. For a long-wearing matte finish, try KVD Beauty’s Everlasting Longwear Liquid Lipstick in Vampira; this ultra-pigmented formula dries matte and is transfer resistant. For a softer finish, go with Bobbi Brown’s Crushed lip colour in Ruby for a light stained effect. Top tip: apply a darker shade of lip pencil in the corners and blend towards the centre for a vampy ombre effect. Pair with winged liner and loads of lashes for effortless elegance.

The 90s supermodels are back with a vengeance. With modern formulas making it easier to achieve for all skin types, everyone can find a way to incorporate this trend either with all matte finishes or adding a touch of gloss or shimmer to make it feel more lived in. Try Nars Soft Matte Complete foundation for a sheer finish matte. With added hyaluronic acid, this formula will keep your skin hydrated while maintaining that supermodel skin finish.

For the ultimate matte eye, look no further than Makeup by Mario’s Master Matte’s Eyeshadow palette inspired by skin tones; these twelve buildable, blendable shades will have you catwalk ready. Every festive season sees its variation on sparkle, and this year it’s all about bold colour and dazzling shine. Pat McGrath has created the super-luxe Mothership eyeshadow palettes with a range of formulas from velvety mattes, glistening glitters and holographics paired with bold, rich colours to suit all skin tones for the most decadent smokey eyes. Top tip: always start with the smokey eye look and finish with skin to avoid fall out.

Happy Glamming!

ROAST

TURKEY WITH BACON, APRICOT AND CRANBERRY STUFFING

SERVES 8

METHOD STUFFING

Heat a generous splash of olive oil in a large frying pan and cook the bacon until crisp. Remove and drain on kitchen paper and cut into thin slices when cool. Add the onion, garlic and celery and sauté for about ten minutes until soft and golden brown. Take the pan off the heat, add the breadcrumbs and stir together, transfer to a large bowl and allow to thoroughly cool. When cool, add the pork mince, thyme, dried fruits, lemon zest, nutmeg, egg and lots of salt and pepper, and mix everything well.

TURKEY

1. Allow the turkey to come up to room temperature for a couple of hours. When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 230C. Give your turkey a good wipe, inside and out, and season the cavity well.

2. Place the turkey on a board, with the neck end towards you. Find the edge of the skin that’s covering the turkey’s breasts and carefully peel it back. Gently ease your fingers under the skin, teasing it away from the meat. You should be able to pull all the skin away from the meat, keeping it attached at the sides. Carefully spoon your prepared stuffing between the skin and the breast, tucking the flap of skin underneath to stop anything seeping out. Weigh the stuffed turkey and calculate the cooking time allow twenty minutes per every five hundred grams.

3. Place the lemon halves, one onion, half the thyme and one piece of rosemary inside the turkey cavity. Dab the butter all over the turkey, especially over the breasts, season generously and cover with the streaky bacon. Place the turkey on a large roasting tray, and add the chopped carrots, onions, and remaining herbs, cover with tinfoil and place in the preheated oven.

INGREDIENTS

TURKEY

• 4-4.5kg gold standard turkey • 6 rashers smoked streaky bacon

• 150g butter • 3 onions, peeled

• 2 large carrots, peeled

4. Cook for twenty minutes, then turn the heat down to 180C and roast for the allotted time, or until the juices run clear from the thigh when pierced with it a small, sharp knife. Remove the tinfoil for the last forty minutes to allow the turkey to brown.

• 1 large lemon, halved

• A small bunch of thyme

• 3 large pieces of rosemary

• 2 bay leaves

• Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

STUFFING

• 400g quality minced pork

• 8 rashers smoked streaky bacon

5. Carefully lift the turkey out of the tray and rest, somewhere warm, loosely covered in foil and a couple of folded tea towels, for about an hour.

GRAVY

• 1 large onion, peeled and finely diced

• 2 sticks celery, washed and finely diced

• 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed

• 100g dried apricots

• 50g dried cranberries

• 1 large free-range egg

• 2 tsp fresh thyme

• 1 handful of fresh breadcrumbs

• Zest of 1 lemon

• 1 pinch nutmeg

• Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

GRAVY

Very carefully skim the surface fat from the roasting tray and add port. Place on a medium heat and sift in the flour. Stir well and slowly pour in the stock. When the gravy starts to thicken, reduce the heat and simmer for five minutes, stirring regularly. Strain it into a pan ready to reheat.

• 100ml water • 100ml port

• Juice and zest of 2 oranges

• 1 cinnamon stick

• 3 clean, sterilised jam jars

METHOD

1. After washing, place the cranberries in a large, heavy-bottomed pan with the caster sugar, water, orange and the cinnamon stick and bring to a simmer.

2. After ten minutes, when the cranberries begin to soften and start to burst open, carefully mash with the back of a fork to let out all the pectin. Add the port, stir and cook for further ten minutes or until the sauce has reduced by a third.

3. Remove from the heat and allow to cool a little. Remove the cinnamon stick. Carefully ladle into warm, dry, sterilised jars and seal.

INGREDIENTS

• 4 rashers streaky bacon, cut into 2cm pieces

• 450g Brussels sprouts, cut in half

• 3 tbsp maple syrup

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp pepper

• Olive oil, for frying

METHOD

1. In a large pan, add a splash of olive oil and fry bacon until it begins to crisp.

Using a slotted spoon remove the bacon from the pan.

2. Remove the bacon fat from the pan and add some more olive oil. Place Brussels sprouts cut side down and allow to cook for 4-5 minutes or until the sprouts begin to char. Once browned, flip the sprouts over and stir until they start to get tender, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Return the bacon along with the maple syrup, salt and pepper. Stir until sprouts are coated.

to rough up the edges a little. Sprinkle with some salt and freshly ground pepper and the flour or cornmeal.

2. Place the dripping or duck fat in a large roasting tray and heat in the oven until it is hot (about five minutes). Remove the tray from the oven and very carefully add the potatoes, stirring with a wooden spoon to make sure they are totally covered with the fat. Roast the potatoes for 50-60 minutes, give them a stir and cook for another 15-20 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain and serve.
