“The fact that a woman can come and park at the building for free is huge, compared to when we were downtown and women had to worry about where they were going to park,” Lisa elaborates. Their biggest fundraising event is the annual fashion show. The 2021 show, being held on September 21st at the Hard Rock Casino, marks the 20th anniversary of the event, and features honorees Crystal Faulkner and Cincinnati Council member Jan-Michele Lemon Kearney. The show includes clients of Dress for Success who walk the runway while their stories are told. Fall fashion designs are also highlighted by professional models. Tickets are on sale for the event on the Dress for Success Cincinnati website. Lisa stresses that Dress for Success offers far more than a free outfit to women: “So many people think only about the clothing aspect when they hear Dress for Success, but I’d like to make it clear that we have a full spectrum of personal development training and ongoing career support. It’s not just about the clothes, it’s about helping women gain and sustain employment to

Outdoor Living, Lyons Photography

OUTDOOR LIVING: The outdoor area becomes an uninterrupted extension

of the indoors with a rustic stamped concrete patio leading to a peaceful water feature, comfortable seating and a grand stone fireplace. “Having your covered outdoor space further from the house allows for more natural light indoors,” Nancy points out. Even the landscaping reflects the union of farmhouse and traditional style, with meadow plantings mixing with structured evergreens to provide privacy. KITCHEN: The kitchen is both a gathering place and a focal point of the house.

Jackie Quigley, leader of The Quigley Team relates, “The tiled backsplash is like a piece of art that adds a lot of personality to the space, but they also thought about functionality. All the electric outlets are beneath the cabinets so that the beautiful mosaic artwork is not disturbed.” The kitchen is designed to be seamless, combining efficiency and beauty as reflected in the convenient and spacious walk-in pantry that looks like one of the cabinets. Soapstone counters, wide oak plank floors and a farmhouse sink adorned with furniture legs beneath, all provide a rustic feel that effortlessly pairs with modern upscale appliances, lighting, and substantial ceiling molding.

Curtain bangs aren’t going anywhere this fall - while they’ve become a trusty constant lately, they will definitely continue to be popular, partially due to how easy they are to grow out and how much body and movement they give your hair.

TIGHT FADES FOR MEN Men’s cut and style by Katie Rentfrow.

Lately, the look in vogue for gentlemen is a tight fade that smoothly transitions to fuller, longer hair on top. If you’ve let your hair grow longer during quarantine, this is a great way to clean up and renew your look! You can add more texture and fullness at the top using Reuzel pomade in either the medium or strong hold varieties.

Mason + Deerfield Lifestyle | September 2021

On September 13-15 vintage cars from across the US and Canada will be gathering in Vermont for the 3rd running of the Great American Mountain Rally Revival. The rally is a revival of a New England tradition that took place each autumn from 1953-57. My wife, Lynn will act as navigator and I will drive as we participate for the third time. Between the trip out, the rally through the Green Mountains and Champlain Valley of Vermont, and the trip home to Warren County we will put roughly 2000 miles on our 1951 Hudson Pacemaker. This is the car we originally purchased in 1997 as a surprise for my father on his 71 st birthday. Today, Dad travels with us in spirit as we cross the country in his beloved Hudson. We’ll proudly represent Ohio, the Hudson automotive legacy, and our family through our participation.

Make Memories with Macarons

A trip of this sort in a 70 year old automobile is a genuine adventure fraught with all sorts of potential road-blocks, both figurative and literal. But such is the nature of life. We pull bits from our past and present to paint the pictures of our future. Check the office blog later this month for photos and tales from the road.

ARTICLE TERA MICHELSON PHOTOGRAPHY RICHARD ALEXANDER—TRULY BLESSED PHOTOGRAPHY

time for tie dye DIY FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.

TIE DYE IS HAVING ITS MOMENT, MOVING FROM THE 1960S TO THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY RUNWAY. Join the movement toward the colorful and unpredictable patterns of this nostalgic fashion with three techniques, as demonstrated by local resident Cara Hasselbeck. Having led church groups, of all ages, over the past ten years to tie and dye hundreds of colorful t-shirts, she’s earned the nickname “The Tie Dye Lady.” “What I love is that when you do tie dye, you never know what you’re going to get,” says Cara. “Each shirt is unique. If it doesn’t turn out the way you want, you can always make another one,” she adds with a shrug and a smile. “It’s all about the process.” Cara advises DIYers to remember that dye is dye: it will leave its mark on anything it touches. Just to be safe, wear an apron and protect your workspace with table covers. Put on a pair of rubber gloves and follow Cara’s expert tips to fold, twist and tie your way to unique and vibrant tees with colors that last. CONTINUED >

DIY (CONTINUED)

:: S TE P 1 :: Soda ash is the secret ingredient for color that lasts. Wear a face mask as you stir together a bucket of soda ash and water, following the package directions. Once the powder is dissolved, it is safe to remove your mask. Make sure shirts are thoroughly wet and wring them out just before dying. :: S TE P 2 :: Prepare the dyes by mixing them with urea. Urea is a key ingredient to yield richer shades of color. Be sure to follow the chart on the package instructions carefully to stir the proper amounts together. Wear a face mask for safety until the powder is dissolved. Cara recommends that you label dye bottles, because many of the colors look similar. :: S TE P 3 :: Spread out your soda-ash-soaked and well wrung tee on a covered table. Wrap, tie and twist it according to your preferred style. Double or triple loop your rubber bands to create the contrasting white spaces between colors. See our three techniques featured on the following pages to get a Spiral, Kaleidoscope or Bullseye design. :: S TE P 4 :: Apply dye, then flip the shirt to apply more, matching the colors on each side. Add dye until the fabric is saturated, but not dripping. To avoid brown patches, do not allow complementary colors—the colors across from each other on the color wheel—to bleed together. For best color results, try rainbow color order and primary color blends, like red and yellow, or yellow and blue. Seal

Rinse the bulk of the dye from the shirt while it is still shaped, until the water runs nearly clear. Here’s

spiral style

:: s te p 5 :: When most people think of tie dye, they draw to mind the Spiral design. To create this iconic style, pinch and twist a soaked and well-wrung shirt into one direction to form a tight coil. Rubber band it into triangular sections, like a pizza. Squeeze on the dye, flip and add more color on the other side. The whirling result is a soul-pleasing galaxy of hues.
