"SWEET FEMININE KNITSFOR YOUR CLOSET"Y
The Designer Labelbeatrice holloway
Noticing a void in designer knitwear, she decided to fill her newest collection with affordable sweet and feminine knits that fit into any girl’s closet with ease. The line’s name was inspired by a fictional great grandmother fond of knitting on her porch – just one of the varying mediums Wong used for inspiration along with kittens and strawberry lemonade.
With the success of her edgy contemporary line Maison, Wong was eager to experiment with new designs and fabrics that would have something for everyone in terms of colors, fit and fabric. The endearing Beatrice Holloway line debuted in Spring 2008 with eager buyers in Japan, Canada and the United States.
CHIC STYLE ALONG WITH COMFORTABLE KNIT, IT DOESN'T GET ANY SWEETER THAN WENDY WONG'S NEW LINE.

"STYLE & COMFORT WITH EFFORTLESS EASE"
What type of music do you listen to while you work? I like to start my mornings off slow, with something more jazzy, and speed up the pace as the day goes. I definitely need something higher energy for that 3-4pm tired time. That’s when I blast Yelle or Lady Gaga
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My impatience! Hurry up!
When are you happiest? Travelling! My job allows me to travel the world and I’m always finding inspiration everywhere! It’s thrilling to see what people are wearing on the other side of the world, the colors, fabrics, textures, architecture, retail shops etc. I love experiencing new cultures, foods, languages and meeting new people.
Did you go away on vacation? If so where? Highlight from the trip? After my work part in Hong Kong, I flew to Phuket, Thailand and Bali, Indonesia. Both were so beautiful, tropical and inspiring, I couldn’t stop thinking resort collections!
Fashion mistake you will never live down? My one and only perm. I was so obsessed with trying to give my stick straight hair some body, that I gave my chin length hair a perm. And not a wavy one, a tight curly one that ended up as a small afro. Paired with my lavender rimmed glasses and shoulder pads (it was the 80’s!), it was truly a low point in my fashion career.
How has your style changed over the past 10 years? I’ve always loved colour and pattern but as I’ve gotten older it’s gone from crazy vintage mix and match to a little more subtle (like 1 print at a time as opposed to a few!)
Business Goals for 2011? Expansion into Asia.

DESIGNER SCOUT
phroChic began three years
ago - the brainchild of Creative
Director & Founder, Jeanine Hays. Originally
taking shape as interior design blog,
AphroChic became a place for Jeanine, a
policy attorney, to escape the stresses of
legal work and share her passion for design.
AphroChic became a means of looking at
design from a new perspective. Highlighting
artists and designers from around the globe as
well as all that was interesting and new within
modern design, Jeanine set out to prove that
ethnic heritage and culture could go hand in
hand with the luxurious and the modern. She
coined the phrase, “Modern, Soulful, Style,”
to embody her personal vision of a new kind
of design – one that embraces culture and
the unique admixture of the traditional and
the contemporary that helps to define us all.
A
“The most beautiful rooms
tell a story.”
“ Cultural reflection, ethnic-inspired
prints, and embracing a global
lifestyle.”
“A home should be a personal
reflection of who you are.”
By the beginning of the blog’s
second year, Jeanine was ready to go beyond
writing about design and started to create
designs of her own. In partnership with her
husband, Bryan Mason, an academic pursuing
his Ph.D. at the University of California Berkeley,
the two began to develop a business that
would specialize in small but impactful pieces.
The journey from law to design has been an
interesting one. Since the company’s launch in
2009, AphroChic pieces have been featured in
Lucky Magazine, Nesting Newbies, Chesapeake
Home, California Home + Design and various
interior design blogs. The pillow collection made it
onto the 2010 California Home + Design Hit List,
celebrating the best in California design. Jeanine
also has a weekly feature on color and textiles on
HGTV’s interior design blog, Design Happens,
and participated as an online guest judge
for the 2010 season of HGTV’s Design Star.Y
“Good design doesn’t have to sacrifice the
environment.””

WHAT WE BELIEVE
AphroChic was created in 2009 as
an embodiment of its mantra of
modern soulful style. Jeanine Hays,
the company’s founder and creative
director, bases her work on the belief
that a synthesis of high-end design
and ethnic culture can create a style
that is reflective of the individual
while still being of the highest quality
and the latest fashion. It is this belief,
coupled with an unending dedication
to environmental consciousness
and sustainable design that gives
AphroChic its unique blend of
modern soulful style.

NOSTALGIA
Nostalgia Life The simple, natural pleasures. Taking time to laugh with our children, nurture friendships and watch a butterfly’s erratic flight. Enjoy a warm cup of honey tea and give thanks to all the beautiful things around us.
Nostalgia Philosophy Our philosophy is simple. We want to do our part to make people happy and healthy and to make the earth a better place. So we do it through nurturing, artisan beauty.
Nostalgia Promise Nostalgia was founded on a commitment – to ourselves, our families, the Earth and you. We are committed to:
Creating natural personal care products using select ingredients from around the world. We emphasize quality not quantity: sourcing organic, biodynamic or wildcrafted botanical, fruit and nut oils is our priority. You will never find harmful synthetics in our products, including petroleum, parabens, lauryl or laureth sulfates, detergents, synthetic preservatives or artificial colors.
Supporting trade sources that share our values. We believe in fair trade working conditions, earth-friendly recycling practices, and selecting raw ingredients from sources that offer sustainable, organic materials. We make every attempt to source our supplies from those that share our beliefs.
Giving back. A portion of our profits are contributed to the Beautiful Survivor program, a grass-roots effort dedicated to promoting the healing and self-confidence of women and girls recovering from cancer.

Aztec Chic - Arrowhead Earrings VI
It all begins with a single feather. I take a plume – they can be small and delicate or large and lush – and create
accessories around my main inspiration for Noémiah label.
I use textures, colours and varying lengths to explore asymmetry and ultimately create a modern and original
piece of jewellery that has an irresistible, tactile quality. All of the items are handmade to order and may vary slightly
from the jewels pictured. www.noemiah.com
photographer: Véronique Gohierstylist: Myriam Girouard
hair & make up: Marie-Eve Dompierre model: Ariel from Ema Models
Created by the 27 year old Noémie, jewels are designed
by hand using feathers, metal findings and chains.
Noémiah is currently being sold in 12 boutiques
across the Canada and her work was featured in many
magazines (see http://noemiah.com to take a look)!
I always create two collections a year, a F/W
Collection in October, a S/S Collection in March and
a little collection of unique designs for the Holiday
Season in November. All my designs are created from
a single feather : I am inspired by color, texture, shape,
length etc. I then played with asymmetry, line and color
contrasts. I work mainly with quality materials, plated
chains, metal pieces, beads and semi-precious stones.Y

FRENCH INSPIRED HOLIDAY DINING

Vintage silverwareadds a sweet delicate
touch.
or this table I wanted to create a rustic dinner party vibe, taking inspiration from a local farmer’s market. I’ve always loved growing my own herbs for cooking and wanted the table to reflect that philosophy. This concept is perfect for a rehearsal dinner, anniversary party or a charming twist on the sweetheart table at a rustic, chic wedding! I created a simple menu using local and fresh ingredients. I prepared a spinach ravioli with a sage butter sauce. I originally tried this dish on my anniversary trip and have wanted to re-create it ever since, using sage from my garden {recipe here.} Also on the menu, rustic farm bread with rosemary butter and for dessert, vanilla-lavender cupcakes and fresh mint tea!
FErin from Dandelion & Grey shows us how to create a lovely French Inspired Holiday.
Gallery wall of empty vintage
frames
I placed my table next to a gallery wall of empty vintage frames. I kept the setting simple, using a piece of rustic wood as a placemat, delicate vintage pink-hued napkins and of course, vintage silverware! Regular glass tumblers were used for wine, to create a casual, understated feel. A barnwood tray is a simple, yet charming centerpiece and it holds champagne & glasses for an after-dinner toast!

Jasmin started creating pieces with feathers during summer 2008.She never imagined that wearing feathers through her hair would turn into a label, but attracting such a huge response from the public lead to just that, and Jasmin Sparrow begun.
Feather braids lead to feather jewellery, which she started selling in selected boutiques throughout Wellington where Jasmin was based.
The handcrafted feather pieces grew from jewellery to headpieces, clips, collars, and eventually one-off garments.
Being surrounded by so many creatively talented and influential friends in Wellington, who were always keen to collaborate in artistic projects, has played a huge part in Jasmin Sparrow evolving into what it is today.
Now Jasmin is based in her hometown of Waihi Beach where she plays with feathers everyday, ensuring the business continues to grow and beautiful people across the globe can enjoyher creations.
