12 - PUBLISHERâ€™S NOTE

Dear Readers, > Wherever we turn, it seems that advertisements featuring products or services endorsed by well-known celebrities surround us. This tactic of advertising has become increasingly popular because we tend to feel more able to relate to brands, from skincare lines to car companies, if they are supported by personalities that we find familiar or endearing. We are even sometimes likely to make purchases if those using the product of interest are celebrities that we know and love.

Penfolds Luxury Wine Unveiling at BevFly Wines on I-Drive- Photo by Brion Price

Because our culture has enabled entertainment stars to become so relatable to the general public, this system of advertising usually works very well, and companies seem to be using this tactic more now than ever before. Recently, however, we have learned that this system can backfire if the celebrities who are representing the advertised brands act in a way that is against the values of these brands. We have seen this quite frequently over the past decade with incidences concerning actors such as Lindsay Lohan, models like Kate Moss, and even sports icons such as Tiger Woods. Even unlikely personalities, including Paula Deen and Michael Phelps, have been grouped into this category. Because this list seems to constantly increase, is it really worth investing our time and money advertising with these celebrities? It seems that advertisers are beginning to run out of other methods of capturing their audienceâ€™s attention, so they keep hiring celebrity spokespeople. Contrary to the majority of advertisers, a select number of companies and designers have created endorsements with trusted and well-known publications, very much like ours. At Style Magazines, we have developed wonderful relationships with advertisers whom we happily endorse, and we have been able to present many doctors and lawyers in the Tampa Bay area who truly care about their patients and clients. In order to make these endorsements beneficial for

TampaStyleMagazine.com

both the professionals and our audience, we research and gain input from our readers to ensure that each doctor and lawyer is a great addition to our magazine. We appreciate your thoughts and opinions, and we always love hearing your feedback about the professionals who advertise with us. We are very interested in your own personal experiences with our endorsed advertisers, so please send us your thoughts. Because our goal is to fill the pages of Tampa Style with advertisements that are catered to your interest, we are always looking to hear what brands featured in our magazine are your favorites. Our readers are the heart and soul of Style Magazines, and we desire to continue to earn your trust, just as we have for all these years. We are so grateful for the loyalty of our dedicated readers, and one way that we strive to give back is to ensure that the image and aesthetic of each issue is just as impeccable as the last. Our magazine has set standards for lifestyle publications, and this issue continues to raise the bar of excellence. We hope that you will enjoy this remarkable November Luxury issue, which is filled with stylish photo shoots and fascinating articles. You will find interesting looks at what defines luxury, as well as the latest trends in local beauty and fall fashion. I hope you are all enjoying the cooler weather that fall has brought us, and I wish you a peaceful Thanksgiving holiday and the time to truly enjoy it with your family and friends. May you all find much to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving! Sincerely,

Sven J. Bode, Publisher

CITY NEWS - 23

The entire month of October was dedicated to Busch Gardens’ annual Howl-O-Scream special event. From September 26 to November 1 the theme park dedicated its nights to a new sort of thrill, the kind that makes your hair rise and leaves you with goosebumps and chills: haunted houses and slash mobs. This year’s theme was Cursed and the park was full of doomed individuals from ghouls and murderous clowns to zombies and escaped insane asylum patients. Guests never knew what to expect, keeping adrenaline levels high and making for a night of thrilling fun. On October 9, the Scandinavian Trade Association of Tampa Bay held the inaugural Florida Viking Fest at the Tampa Garden Club. The event was held to commemorate Leif Erikson Day, in honor of the Nordic explorer known to be the leader of the first European exploration of North America. Festival-goers spent the evening enjoying traditional Scandinavian food and music while being entertained by a thrilling VIKING re-enactment show. The event also featured a life-size Viking ship and keynote speaker Eric Hovland, an outdoor adventurer and shark expert who recently starred in the Norwegian TV adventure series “Alt for Norge.”

MOST EXPEN IVE THESE CELEBS TRAVEL IN LUXURY ON LAND… AND ON SEA!

> Let’s face it. We all know celebrities have the best toys. In the air, they’re soaring around on private jets. On the ground, they’re racing past our sedans in one of their many exotic sports cars. With all this in mind, would you really expect anything less than the world’s most luxurious yachts when it comes to getting around on water? While many of us can afford to purchase a nice boat, most are far from the type of wealth required to own and sail around in the vessels you’re about to see on our list. Get your sunscreen out! We’re going aboard some of the world’s most expensive yachts owned by celebrities. StyleToMe.com

By Riesa Pascal

STEVEN SPIELBERG • $200 MILLION

GIORGIO ARMANI • $76 MILLION

Steven Spielberg is an Academy Award winning director widely recognized as one of the most popular and influential filmmakers of all time. With a net worth of $3 billion, it’s no surprise that Spielberg owns one of the most expensive yachts in the world, the Seven Seas. Anyone whose seen Spielberg’s movie Jaws knows the famous line “We’re going to need a bigger boat,” but that most certainly won’t be necessary here. Spielberg’s yacht is approximately 282 feet and was designed by the privately owned custom yacht builder, Oceanco. The Seven Seas features a state-of-the-art stabilization system aboard, which allows it to cruise smoothly in a variety of seas. In layman’s terms, the 67-yearold director—who admits he got seasick during the filming of Jaws—made certain that wouldn’t be the case on Seven Seas. Perhaps one of the most impressive features is the yacht’s infinity pool that boasts a 15′ glass wall that transforms into an outdoor movie screen. The main salon has a professional projection system and oversized viewing screen as well as raked seating to turn the area into a personal movie theater. If you can’t leave your work behind then you might as well enjoy screening your films in the middle of the ocean on one of the world’s most luxurious yachts!

Giorgio Armani is one of the most successful designers of all time. His name is his brand and both are widely recognized throughout the world. A world in which he often travels around via Main, one of the largest yachts built in Italy. Skim through a few photos of Armani’s 213-foot yacht and it will become immediately apparent that his meticulous attention to detail and design in fashion will not be compromised when it comes to his boat. Although the luxury yacht goes against the norm by being solid black, it makes sense for someone like Armani who refuses to follow the crowd. Designed to be an elegant, perfect space for relaxation and leisure, Main features everything from swimming pools and revolving lounge chairs on the sundeck to a high-end designer kitchen and bar. With numerous guest suites, Armani is famous for his lavish yacht parties. He also allows his boat to be used for high-end magazine photo shoots featuring his lines and why wouldn’t he? There’s no better place to shoot designer clothing than on one of the world’s top designer’s yacht.

CELEBRITY SOUP - 27

CELEBRITY YACHTS

JOHNNY DEPP • $70 MILLION

P. DIDDY • $65 MILLION

ERIC CLAPTON • $60 MILLION

He aspired to be a pirate as a young boy and then went on to portray Hollywood’s most famous pirate to date, Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of The Caribbean. I’m talking about none other than Johnny Depp and as an actor whose hit movie franchise was filmed on the sea, it makes perfect sense that he would want some playtime on the sea as well. Depp’s yacht is called Vajoliroja. The odd name is a combination of the first letters of Depp’s ex-partner’s name Vanessa Paradis (Va-), his own name (-jo-), their daughter Lily-Rose (-liro-) and son Jack (-ja). Vajoliroja is 156 feet long and has room for ten guests in five cabins and eight crewmembers. It comes equipped with a variety of watersports equipment such as water skis, a wakeboard, kneel board and snorkeling gear. Fortunately for those of us who aren’t world famous actors—or one of the most desired men in the world—Depp offers his private luxury yacht for chartered rent through the Bahamas and Caribbean.

When you are one of the most successful rappers, designers and music producers in the world, you can afford to splurge on something as one-of-a-kind as P. Diddy’s luxurious 4-story mega yacht. Majraya is the name of Diddy’s expensive toy and she was worth every single penny. The top deck is perfectly designed for lavish parties with a wet bar, a projection television screen and a stage. In the living room you’ll find furniture made of only the softest, most luscious leather. To protect the thick cream-colored carpets in the interior of Majraya, guests are asked to remove their shoes and go barefoot. A crew of 10 people aboard the 54-foot yacht allow guest to be thoroughly spoiled and taken care of to the utmost degree. When it comes to P. Diddy’s toys, don’t expect nothing short of the best and Majraya is no exception.

Eric Clapton is an award-winning singer and because of his worldwide success, the famous artist is also the proud owner of a gorgeous yacht named Va Bene (Italian for ‘fine’). Measuring an impressive 157 feet in length, Va Bene has space on board to accommodate up to 12 guests at once and a crew of 13. In addition to six bedrooms, other luxury features and amenities make Va Bene the perfect space for relaxation and rejuvenation. Just ask Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z who paid $195,000 to rent the yacht for one week. The lavish boat contains a Jacuzzi, a weight room, Satellite TV, the use of two Jet-skis and a rooftop sun deck where guests can work on their tan while checking out the spectacular ocean views. <

OF CHANGE Fractured Narratives at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum By Maria Delis

StyleToMe.com

Pictured above: ‘The Last Days of Baalu’ by Eric Gottesman

> “As I photograph the other night sky, the other night sky photographs back,” writes Trevor Paglen. His 48 x 60 image of a soft-hued skyscape is part of the Fractured Narratives: a strategy to engage exhibition at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College. The peaceful scene, blues transitioning to warm orange hues, hides something intrusive. When one studies the image closely, a tiny black dot appears in the lower third of the photograph. It’s a drone in mid-flight. Untitled (Reaper Drone, 2012) reminds us that we live in a surveillance society where natural beauty is interrupted by technology built to observe, record, track, and even attack human targets. Paglen (b. 1974, U.S.) aims to expose “the other night sky” that we are not aware of its existence, or, perhaps, we wish to not accept as reality.

BOOZE MEETS

BARREL By Cathleen K. Bode

> Whether you prefer your cocktail shaken or stirred,

there’s a technique mixologists are using to redefine the cocktail – in terms of taste and color.

WELCOME THE BARREL-AGED COCKTAIL. The concept is not new but is taking off quickly with mixologists who like to experiment and elevate the cocktail experience. While you probably won’t find a barrel-aged cocktail on the menu at your favorite fast casual dining spot, you will find a great selection at bars and restaurants that support craft cocktails. Alex Smith, Spirits Director at the Black Sheep Restaurant Group says, “Barrel-aging can be a real game changer.” Black Sheep is a modern American restaurant that works with local purveyors and offers both great food and great cocktails. Known for inno-

StyleToMe.com

vating the classics, Smith adds, “Barrel-aging is another way to take great classic cocktails and create new flavor experiences.” Portland-based, celebrated mycologist at Clyde Common and Author of The Bar Book, Elements of Cocktail Technique (Chronicle Books) Jeffrey Morgenthaler adds, “With a barrel you extract some of the wood characteristics—oak tannins, caramel, and vanillin—but the important thing is extracting some of previous contents. The final product has a silkier mouth feel, and the components of the cocktail marry more than in fresh cocktails.” Morgenthaler is credited for being the first mixologist

BARFLY - 45

in the U.S. to showcase this technique after he sampled bottled aged cocktails in London. If you think about barrel-aging in terms of the food universe it’s evident that barrel-aging is not new at all. In fact, there’s a list of foods that are made using this technique including pickles, mustard and maple syrup and the newly popular condiment, Sriracha. So, is it about the barrel or the cocktail? Most mixologists will agree it’s about both. “One of the reasons to barrel age is to extract the flavors from the barrel, so what has been in the barrel before is important,” says Dean Hurst, Director of Spirits, SideBerns. For their “Three Amigos” cocktail served at Bern’s and SideBerns, Hurst chose a Hudson Baby Bourbon Barrel to age the batch because the bourbon was the

weakest player and he hoped to bring it out in the finished cocktail. Hurst also believes that this different offering adds to the hospitality experience. “Not only does the barrel-aging justify the cost but it allows us to open a conversation with our guests.” Joshua Hiller, mixologist at Siro at the Orlando World Center Marriott says his ‘Ciao Milano,’ the first barrel-aged cocktail on the menu at this super chic bar, is as popular today as it was when it was first placed on the list. “All of our cocktails are based on the classics. This cocktail let us play with bourbon, in fact we used Buffalo Trace. We used honey from one of our partners, Lake Meadow Naturals and then used Carpano Bianco Vermouth to add a lighter wine hint to the cocktail. You can say the Bianco added a lift to the cocktail. Not only that, the Milano theme is also evident in the

few drops of Fernet-Branca we add to the barrel,” says Hiller. “I think the Fernet-Branca adds a bit of freshness to the cocktail.” The cocktail is aged for about 46–50 days in St. George Spirit Barrels and like all of the other offerings on the menu; this best-selling cocktail is priced at $14. According to Morgenthaler, “Barrel-aging is essentially little more than infusing alcohol with wood, a process that has been part of the beverage world for centuries.” Wines, spirits and even beers take on some characteristics of the oak barrels they are stored in. No matter what the barrel-aged cocktail, if you are offered one of these fine libations, say yes. The taste experience is like no other and you can be sure that the mixologist and his team put time and thought into the cocktail. In fact, we’re sure you’ll say “I’ll have another!” <

INTELLECTUAL

PROPERTY

DO I HAVE IT? HOW SHOULD I PROTECT IT? By Mark NeJame

Contributor Vanessa Braeley, Associate Attorney with NeJame Law

> We’ve all heard of intellectual property, but hey – do we really know what that stuff is? Do you own any? Is it protected? The answers to these questions can be complex, but an overview of the basics may trigger that “ah-ha” moment…perhaps just enough to be able to ask informed questions and begin the process of protecting, or at least know when you should. Intellectual property is many things. It’s the intangibles. IP can be ideas, designs, formulas, codes, programs, databases, stories, articles, songs, slogans, symbols. We’ve all heard the buzzwords “copyright” “trademark” and “patent.” These are just some of the ways in which intellectual property is protected; these protections are readily available to you – just pick up the phone and call your attorney.

that enables you to enter your product or idea (we will call it a widget) into the marketplace with some assurance third parties will not try to claim it as his or her own. There are three types of patents: utility (which covers function), design (which covers aesthetics) and plant (which covers plants of the botanical variety). In the wake of the medical marijuana boom, plant patents may be an up-and-coming topic.

PATENT PROTECTION:

Determining if your widget has commercial viability and creating a prototype are the most important first steps. Perhaps your widget is similar to many other widgets out there – if this is true, the United States Patent and Trademark Office obtaining meaningful protection may be difficult.

In legal world, a patent is what’s known as a negative right. If the United States Patent and Trademark Office grant your patent, the U.S. government is endowing you with the exclusive right to exclude others from making, using or selling your work. A patent is a form of protection

StyleToMe.com

Once an application is filed and the widget is “patent pending,” there may be some back-and-forth (or patent prosecution) between your patent attorney and a patent examiner. Applications can take up to five years from filing to granting. Be careful not to wait too long to file for patent protection, but don’t file too soon, either. Under U.S. law, once you publicly disclose your invention, you have one year to submit your application or else you may lose the right altogether. TRADEMARKS: Registration of trademarks is governed by Florida Statutes, Chapter 495. Trademark law means providing the IP owner with exclusive right to use a symbol or mark that distinguishes the goods or products of one person from another. It

IN THE KNOW - 47

could be a word, phrase, design or logo used to identify a company or product. A service mark is the same as a trademark, except it identifies the source of services. Trademarks are valuable assets, which generate repeat business due to recognition and familiarity. Registering your trademark has the effect of preventing competitors from using a mark to which they are not entitled. The trademark owner has “good will” in the company; consumer goodwill is earned by a business over a period of time and has intrinsic value. Trademark law also protects consumers from deception. Not only can a trademark owner prevent someone from using its exact mark, but using marks that are “confusingly similar” to a trademark can be legally prohibited. Unlike rights in a patent or a copyright, an owner’s rights in a trademark can last

in perpetuity as long as the mark is in use and registration is regularly renewed. COPYRIGHT LAW: Intellectual property such as original writings, music, designs and other works of expression are protected under federal copyright law, which gives the author exclusive rights to use the works. Copyright generally terminates seventy years after the author’s death. It may be a familiar concept that “copyright is automatic when a work is created,” which is in a sense true, but the key to protecting and enforcing is copyright notice and registration. Copyright notice, or © used in conjunction with the first year of publication and the name of the author/owner, puts the public on notice that the work is protected. Registration isn’t required, how-

ever if an author/owner wishes to bring an infringement lawsuit, registration is a necessary condition precedent. A copyright can be registered through the U.S. Copyright Office at the Library of Congress (www.copyright.gov). So to all the inventors, the entrepreneurs, the aspiring authors and artists, the internet has provided a global marketplace to share your talents with those across the world, but don’t underestimate the value of a good idea. Keep it under lock and key until your intellectual property is protected; you’ll never again utter the words “Hey! That was my idea…” <

“TAYLOR CAME FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS, AND THESE BEGINNINGS INFLUENCED MUCH OF HIS ICONIC SOUND THAT LISTENERS HAVE COME TO LOVE OVER THE DECADES.”

JAMES TAYLOR LIVE AT THE AMALIE ARENA By Courtney Caggiano

> On November 14, James Taylor will bring his soulful sound to the Amalie Arena in Tampa, filling

the Florida air with the enchanting music of a generation gone by. With his warm, willowy vocals and insightful, thought-provoking lyrics, Taylor has brought folk music to the forefront of American culture, with nothing more than a creative genius hidden behind an acoustic guitar.

TampaStyleMagazine.com

DON’T MISS THE BEAT - 51

From his breakthrough in 1970 that came as a result of the hit song, “Fire and Rain,” a single that Rolling Stone has declared to be the 227th greatest song of all time, Taylor has established himself as one of the most successful artists of the 20th century, and he has reached unparalleled commercial popularity while also touching the hearts of millions worldwide. Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of Taylor’s artistry is his ability to connect with listeners from all walks of life on both the largest and smallest of scales. Taylor can perform effortlessly in front of thousands of fans, whether in an arena or on national television, yet he can also strike a chord in the most intimate of settings. No matter the venue, Taylor never fails to demonstrate his beautiful gift of entering into the emotions of his audiences, big or small. This perceptibility of Taylor’s character defines his personable artistry that has shaped a generation of songwriters as well as those who aim to follow in his shadow. In 1970, he released his first album that reached critical acclaim, Sweet Baby James, which landed at Number Three on the Billboard Charts and sold over one and a half million copies in its first year alone. The suddenly successful Sweet Baby James was truly a folk-rock masterpiece, as it was a culmination of the raw passion found in Americana rock and the tender nuances of the folk genre. This album showcased Taylor’s young talent as well as his incredible potential, and his first

step into mainstream public appeal was only the beginning of a lifelong journey. Although he has achieved such greatness as both a songwriter and a performer, Taylor came from humble beginnings, and these beginnings influenced much of his iconic sound that listeners have come to love over the decades. Growing up in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Taylor developed an appreciation for the solitude he found in the tranquility of nature. The Chapel Hill area and the outlying hills provided Taylor with the perfect inspiration for songwriting. He experienced firsthand the undeniable yet often overlooked truth that the beauty of sound is found in silence. From the calming colors of the red soil and rolling creeks to the soothing scent of the changing seasons, life as a country boy treated Taylor to the joys of simplicity that would affect him not only in his songwriting, but his lifestyle as well. However, while he may have always been a simple man in the eyes of the world, Taylor was quite an innovator in his own right. What began as a love for music steeped in the deep traditions of hymns and folk tunes from singers such as Woody Guthrie soon evolved into an experimental journey. Taylor tried to discover all that American instrumentation had to offer, even teaching himself new methods of performance technique. At a young age, Taylor learned to play the cello, but rather than studying classically, he

created his own fingerpicking style of playing that resembled the harmonic sound of a piano. The inventive musician may have gained himself a household name for his songwriting ability, but he always tried to give back to nature, perhaps to show his gratitude for the inspiration that he found in the outdoors. In October 1970, he performed at a Vancouver benefit concert to fund Greenpeace’s protests of the 1971 nuclear weapons tests. Taylor has also become well known for his humanitarian heart. He was honored as the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences MusiCares Person of the Year in 2006, which celebrated his commitment to the musical and cultural arts as well as environmental causes. Even today, Taylor continues to charm audiences with his sensitive spirit and innovative musicianship, and he is sure to bring back memories of the past era at his Tampa concert. In a world that seems to be constantly bombarded with pop music and modern trends, Taylor is sure to greet Tampa with a long-awaited respite of folk-inspired relaxation. Whether you were a fan of Taylor in his prime or you have just recently come to love the simple style of songs such as “Carolina on My Mind,” you will not want to miss the living legend in this unforgettable show. <

HOW TO

AVOID GETTING SICK By Christina Nicholson

> It’s that time of year again. Where everyone seems to be getting sick with a cold, the flu, and other illnesses. Let’s talk major ways to prevent these. Of course there are the options of having an immunization shot to prevent the flu virus and other illnesses. Simply wash your hands before eating and try to avoid touching your mouth, nose, and eyes are other easy precautions. Perhaps, even teaching your children not to share food and drinks during school or at the playground can prevent the spread of illnesses in the school systems. Also, consider taking a vitamin supplement if you find it difficult to eat a balance diet. These are all common ways to prevent illnesses during the season where it almost seems inevitable to get sick. These precautious, however, are all from the outside-in. Let’s take a closer look from the inside-out. A study from the British Journal of Sports Medicine proves that people who often get sick are those who have bad habits of stressing too much, eating unhealthy, and of course not getting enough sleep. So, take a step back and evaluate your life for a moment, do you find yourself falling into these circumstances? If so, it is time to make some life changes for your health. The core of a healthy body are what you put into your body and how you treat your body. Therefore, proper rest, good nutrition, and exercise all go hand-in-

hand to achieve a healthy body, which in return will function properly and avoid illnesses and other diseases.

“START THE COLD AND FLU PREVENTION FROM THE INSIDE-OUT.” Common benefits of working out include: relieving stress, improving mood, increasing your metabolism, boosting energy levels, and even preventing illnesses. The British Journal of Sports Medicine found that, people who work out regularly meaning at least five times per week are found to reduce their sick days by up to 43 percent. Another research study done by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center proved that 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily will cut the risk of colds in half and will also boost the immune system over time. Regular exercise increases the amount of immune cells that are released into our bloodstream. Meaning, exercise speeds

up the heart in order to pump larger quantities of blood which then causes you to breath faster, finally causing you to sweat, and thus increasing the body’s natural virus-killing cells. This is a clear example of, “Survival of the fittest!” Also, keep junk foods and fatty foods to a minimum! We as American’s are known to appreciate the convenience of fast foods and other unhealthy meals that are quick and easy. If you are guilty of this type of diet, it is time for change. Add calcium from greens or better known as phytochemicals are the best bio-available calcium source for humans. If you eat enough dark green, red, and yellow fruits and vegetables studies show you may not even need to take a vitamin supplement. If you want to avoid calling in sick this season, and you feel that you do everything necessary from the outside to protect your health inside, it is time to try a new and reversed approach. Start the cold and flu prevention from the insideout. As always, please consult with your doctor before starting any new exercise and diet regimen. <

A characteristic specific of red wines can found by simply looking at it is the age. Red wines are often stored for many years as they are considered to become better with age (white and blush wines are not). If you are curious to find out whether you are drinking an “aged” red wine or a “young” red wine, simply tilt your glass slightly to one side and you will notice what is called the “rim” of the

TAMPA BAY FASHION WEEK PROVES TRUE TALENT IS AMONG US By Samantha Gant

OUT & ABOUT - 67

> Without any preconceived notions, I was quite eager walking into the Designer Presentation

at the 7th Annual Fashion Week Tampa Bay. As I entered the second floor at the Hilton in Downtown Tampa the energy level suddenly heightened, as there were hundreds of people anxiously waiting for the ballroom doors to open. Before the show began I planned to slip backstage to see how the preparation for the presentation was going.

To get backstage you had to enter the ballroom where I was able to catch a glance of the runway before everyone outside. Naturally being the focal point of the show, the runway was quite grand and reminded me of a white marble pedestal that provided a perfect showcase for the designs that would soon grace it. As I entered the backstage area I was overwhelmed with organized chaos. There were models, designers, clothing racks, news crews, photographers, makeup artists and hair stylists almost everywhere you looked. It was really great to see so many different types of people coming together to create such a spectacular presentation. Minutes before the show began I returned to the ballroom and found my seat. The ballroom doors opened and eager spectators flooded the venue. Before everyone settled in their seats, there was chatter of how gorgeous everything was set up, how elegant the chandeliers hung over the runway and of course, which designers they were most excited to see. There was an array of styles present in the audience including gowns, pearl encrusted ensembles and an infamous bird wing hat. The moment had finally come and two extremely animated hosts graced the stage and set the mood for the rest of the night.

The first line that really caught my eye was Desire’e Marie Design. Desire’e Marie Design was all about feminine

KalaXpress by Sumita Bhojwani was another highlight of the show. Being a newcomer to Tampa Bay Fashion Week, Sumita Bhojwani brought a very Marc Jacob-like flowerchild vibe to the runway. Her pieces ranged from flowy to more structured designs. Another wonderful addition to the presentation included IADT graduate Alexandra Lin. Alexandra Lin Design brought to the runway pieces that were Burberry-esque, including some men’s designs. A personal favorite look from this line was the crisp white overcoat with black and white Burberry-esque lining that revealed a dress in a contrasting black pattern. Chavon Shree’s presentation was by far a favorite of the evening. Her line was consistent with aesthetically pleasing rich colors and unique fabric textures. Her overall line reminded me of Mara Hoffman look from the 90s. The best from her collection had to be the stunning top and skirt set that was white with a look similar to the tie-dye color splash of green and purple. Overall trends spotted at the 2014 Tampa Bay Fashion Week included fishtail braids, geometric shape fabric patterns, flowy garments and Southern Florida girlish charm.

silhouettes with pastel mermaid vibes and fabrics that caught the light in an incredible way. The models were accessorized with conch purses and pearl encrusted eye makeup.

A LUXURY CLOTHING LINE FOR THE STYLISH TRAVELISTA Trunk Show at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando By Maria Delis

TampaStyleMagazine.com

STYLE - 71

> “At Anatomie we work hard to design travel wear and sports wear that looks stunning, fits beautifully and flatters the female form, while perfectly suiting the function for which each piece is designed,” says Kate Boyer, Anatomie’s co-founder. “I understand what a woman needs in travel clothes in a variety of scenarios, so we created what we know works – and looks great!” Waldorf Astoria Spa

Kate and Shawn Boyer, the power couple behind Anatomie, have designed collections for luxury brands such as Elite Models and Lamborghini. The Miami-based company follows a “Less is More” philosophy, evident in its designs. Neutral-colored pieces that can be mixed and matched, make it easy for a travelista to pack for her European getaway, where she will look elegant while exploring the Colosseum, or while tasting wine on a Seine River dinner cruise. After all, as Coco Chanel once said, “simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance”! Each piece looks and feels luxurious and is made of the latest French and Italian microfiber fabrics. Plus, each piece is comfortable, machine-washable, and wrinkle-free. No need to iron! Exactly what a travelista needs. On October 2, Tampa Style gained unique access to a selection of Anatomie’s FW14 collection. For this season, blue, purple and green are mixed with the brand’s staple neutral hues. This was the first Anatomie Trunk Show at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando, located near the Walt Disney World® Resort. Guests enjoyed sparkling wine and light hors d’oeuvres as they browsed the carefully selected pieces. The Waldorf Astoria® Spa hosted the show in one of the resort’s ballrooms, and is planning more special events through April. Anatomie’s collection is ideal for jetsetters, busy businesswomen, and active moms because it is stylish, durable, and versatile. “I’ve worn this red dress out to dinner and have also paired it with sandals for

a day by the beach,” said Valarie Maloff, Waldorf Astoria Spa Director, pointing to her Monika Ballerina dress. Maloff fell in love with the collection and has not only selected items for her personal wardrobe, but also for the WA Spa. Now

“Anatomie apparel fits the needs and bodies of women who want to look stunning, sophisticated and sexy, wearing travel clothes that exude comfort and ease,” states the Anatomie website. Now with partnerships that include IC Bellagio and NetJets, the brand is sold online, through exclusive boutiques, and in private trunk shows like the one held at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando. The WA Spa has a limited selection of Anatomie pieces in its reception area, alongside exclusive beauty products. Located within steps of the resort’s lobby, the spa offers lavish pampering through a unique client-centric approach. According to its staff, each treatment begins with “a systematic analysis and precise skin diagnosis to reveal each guest’s primary focus.” The 2,400-square-foot oasis has 22 treatment rooms, luxury locker rooms and showers, even a lounge to enjoy a soothing cup of tea or a healthful snack. The Spa offers a full-service salon too. Guests not staying on the property receive complimentary valet parking on the day of their service, but they have to advise reservations at the time of booking. Florida residents enjoy a 20% discount on spa services Monday through Thursday. <

travelistas staying at the gorgeous resort have access to Anatomie’s best selling items that can be dressed up or down. The Skyler skinny pants, for example, are comfortable, flattering, and suited for an early-morning business meeting, or a night out in the city. Made of French Honiara fabric (92% polyamide and 8% elasthane), these pants are engineered for comfort.

POLKA DOT

FEVER By Ro Martinez

TampaStyleMagazine.com

FASHION - 85

> Never has a fabric defined classic style more than polka dots. From the iconic elegance of Princess Grace to the timelessness of Lady Diana, young and old alike covet this style. The appeal is not only its vintage flavor, but also its feminine feel. When combined with a strand of pearls, hair accessory and a vintage handbag, you have a look that has stood the test of time. Crystal Lockinour, fashion stylist, provided our original vintage pieces but new styles with the vintage flair are found in stores today. The most popular are black and white polka dots, which are more formal; red and cream or orange and cream as well as others are just as popular and can be casual, even whimsical. From the time Miss America Norma Smallwood was photographed in a polka dot swimsuit in 1926 to the time Disney introduced Minnie Mouse wearing a red polka dot dress in 1928, Americans fell in love with polka dots. In the 1930s, polka dot dresses were sold in stores, and Frank Sinatra’s 1940s ballad “Polka Dots and Moonbeams” helped the polka dots grow in popularity. In the 1950s, designer Christian Dior showed his collection of dresses, many with the beloved dots. These dots became popular in Hollywood; actresses like Elizabeth Taylor, Lucille Ball, and Marilyn Monroe wore polka dots on the screen and were photographed wearing beautiful creations using the polka dot fabric. In 1960, Brian Hyland released his song, “Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini,” and the polka dots were back in fashion. Designer Carolina Herrera used polka dots in her designs during the late 1980s and early 1990s. In 2006, polka dot skirts, dresses, tops and scarves were a fad in the United Kingdom. The pattern has the same name as the Polish “polka” dance, most likely because of the dance’s popularity at the time the pattern came into the fashion scene in the mid-19th century in Europe. The women’s magazine Godey’s Lady’s Book printed the term in 1857 when describing

a scarf surrounded by a scalloped edge, embroidered in polka dots.

In fact, sometimes she wants to take a piece back because it looks so good! <

When caring for vintage fabrics, hand wash in cold water and lay flat to dry out of direct sunlight. Newer fabrics “THAT THERE’S DEFINITELY may be machine washed in the delicate A NOSTALGIA ASSOCIATED cold water cycle using a mild cleanser.

This style works in the office paired with a black blazer and pumps or in a garden wedding worn with a soft cardigan and strand of pearls. For the weekend, coordinate a polka dot dress with flat ballerina slippers and denim jacket. Polka dot accessories can be used to add style and color to a black or otherwise neutral outfit. Hats, scarves, belts or shoes can take a boring look and make it fashionable, reminiscent of an era of elegance. A polka dot tie or scarf can take a men’s simple suit look hip and add an unexpected twist. Check your mother’s closet, vintage consignment boutique, or the mall to find polka dot styles you can incorporate into your wardrobe and style.

As you gather around the table ready to give thanks, you look down to see your dog running laps around the table barking and panting in hopes that food will fall onto the floor. You smile, and throw down a piece of turkey for your favorite companion. While this can be a wonderful way to add some lean protein and fresh veggies to your pup’s diet, there are also some hidden dangers in indulging your pet on this year’s holiday feast. According to everydayhealth. com A Thanksgiving Meals for Dogs, many of the traditional holiday recipes for people are dangerous to your dog’s health. According to the Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society, feeding dogs large quantities of a new food, as well as fatty foods, such as turkey gravy, mashed potatoes with butter, and dressing, can cause pancreatitis. If you’ve already allowed your pooch to overindulge, watch for warning signs, as this potentially deadly inflammation of the pancreas produces severe symptoms of diarrhea or vomiting.

sure they are plain without any sour cream, butter, onions, garlic and scallions. Gravy and buttery side dishes are fatty foods that can cause diarrhea and/or vomiting. Green beans is a great fresh veggie to give your pet, but avoid any form of a casserole. Want to give your pup something sweet? Try a small amount of cranberry sauce, but watch the sugar content in it. Plain canned pumpkin is okay too, but steer clear of any sort of pumpkin pie filling. Chocolate, as most of you know, is toxic to our canine friends. Chocolate can be fatal to dogs because it contains theobromine, which can increase your pup’s heart rate and causes hyperactivity, increased panting, twitching, diarrhea, and vomiting. Even sugar-free items that contain xylitol can be dangerous, causing stomach or intestinal irritation. Don’t forget this is an exciting time for friends, family, food and fun. Enjoy your guests but make sure to educate them, especially the less pet-savvy visitors, on rules for feeding your pet. We all want to relax after a huge feast in preparation for Black Friday sales instead of spending our holidays in a veterinary emergency room. <

Instead of making a doggy bag for your pet full of leftovers, try preparing a safe Thanksgiving meal for your little furry friend. They deserve a real treat every once in a while too. Turkey is a great source of protein for any pooch, however, be sure to remove any excess skin or fat and stick to white meat, making sure there aren’t any bones. It might be tempting to toss a turkey bone your dog’s way during the holiday, but according to L.A. Animal Services, animalplanet.com’s Top 5 Thanksgiving Treats for Pets, turkey bones can easily break, and the sharp splinters can potentially cause damage to your dog’s intestines. Aside from tasty turkey, Mashed potatoes are another great side dish to add alongside the turkey, but make

EBOLA & PETS Forward By Cathleen K. Bode

TampaStyleMagazine.com

BEST FRIENDS - 93

> As officials in Spain recently euthanized a dog for being exposed to Ebola, and the

dog of a Texas nurse who became infected with Ebola was quarantined, doctors from BluePearl Veterinary Partners want to share the information that is known about pets and Ebola.

“When it comes to Ebola and how this infectious disease interacts with our pets, there really isn’t a ton of information available,” said Dr. Jennifer Welser, chief medical officer of BluePearl Veterinary Partners. “However, we’ve done our best to put together a list of the important things we do currently know.”

• According to the CDC, the risk of an Ebola outbreak affecting multiple people in the United States is very low. Therefore, the risk to pets is also very low. Even in areas in Africa where Ebola is present, there have been no reports of

continuing to work together to develop additional guidance for the U.S. pet population. “Besides being doctors to animals, veterinarians play a key role in public health and disease prevention,” Welser said. “Veterinarians throughout the U.S. and around the world work together with human health officials to keep the public safe.”

“THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPORTS OF DOGS OR CATS BECOMING SICK WITH EBOLA, EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY DEVELOP ANTIBODIES FROM EXPOSURE TO THE DISEASE.”

• Diseases that can pass between humans and animals are referred to as zoonotic diseases. This is important because 62 percent of American households have at least one pet according to a 2012 Humane Society survey. Because of this, veterinarians play a vital role in recognizing and preventing the spread of disease. • Ebola is zoonotic, but the extent to which it actually affects animals is not well known. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, scientists believe that the first patient became infected through contact with an infected animal, such as a fruit bat or primate (apes and monkeys), which is called a spillover event. Person-to-person transmission follows and can lead to large numbers of affected persons. In the current West African epidemic, animals have not been found to be a factor in ongoing Ebola transmission.

• As for dogs and cats becoming infected with Ebola, there have been no reports of dogs or cats becoming sick with Ebola, even though they may develop antibodies from exposure to the disease. Certainly a greater understanding of the effects of Ebola on dogs and cats is needed.

dogs and cats becoming sick with Ebola. • Beyond the more common household pets, some people do keep monkeys as pets. According to the CDC, monkeys are at risk for Ebola. Symptoms of Ebola infection in monkeys include fever, decreased appetite and sudden death. Monkeys should not be allowed to have contact with anyone who may have Ebola. Healthy monkeys already living in the United States and without exposure to a person infected with Ebola are not at risk for spreading Ebola. • If there is a pet in the home of an Ebola patient, the CDC recommends that veterinarians, in collaboration with public health officials, evaluate the pet’s risk of exposure. Appropriate measures, such as closely monitoring the exposed pet while taking necessary precautions, should be put in place.
