Fashionable You
Couture Handbags: Obsession… or investment?

By Jennifer Patrick, Owner,  The Couture Exchange

Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Fendi, Chanel....just the mention of these iconoclastic luxury brands makes many a fashion-focused female drool with envy.   If you own a couture handbag from one of these makers, you can appreciate the obsession, and you are well aware that luxury at this level comes with a price, and often a hefty one.  But there is some consolation which may make your next couture handbag purchase a bit more palatable...and maybe even profitable.  Did you ever think that your handbag obsession could become an investment like art or jewelry?

Carolyn Roche

30 Monmouth Street

Red Bank, NJ 07701

Carolyn Roche Designs specializes in wire-formed, handcrafted jewelry.   Although Carolyn Roche, designer & owner, uses a variety of stones and beads from all over the world, most coveted is the jewelry she creates using locally found BEACH GLASS. Perhaps it's a discarded bottle from recent decades, or it could be a lost relic - centuries-old. Tumbled by waves and transformed by sand, nature gives us back "beachglass", unexpected and beautiful. It's interesting to imagine where the glass originated and how long it has been in the ocean.  Was this wonderful and rare blue beachglass once a Philip's Milk of Magnesia bottle?  Or even rarer Red beachglass ... a coveted find from old boat lights? At Carolyn Roche Designs, we take great pride in knowing that we use all the glass we find "as is".  Nature has done a great job creating these beautiful gems; the least we can do is create a distinctive place for them in the form of necklaces, bracelets, pins, rings, barrettes, and so forth. Custom work using your own beach finds is also available.

Preppy is a uniform where the masses all look the same.  The guy we cater to is the clothes horse: He appreciates quality and knows what he’s looking for when he sees it.  In owner Brian George’s words “we supply the venue and the concept, the customer does the rest”. No two customers walk out of Northshore looking the same.

Whether it’s that colorful sportcoat, or a new set of shirt, tie and slacks for the cocktail party, a great sweater, slacks and jacket for dress casual days, a tux for that special occasion or a hand tailored suit for business, think Northshore. Shoes too, featuring; Alden, Sperry Topsider, and Northshore Private stock.

Started over 30 years ago, The Running Store is far and away the oldest store of its kind in New Jersey. Located in The Grove shopping center, this family owned and operated store specializes in personalized fit and service, which is becoming hard to find in today’s retail market. Many people know that the shop carries everything to do with running and track & field but may not realize that aside from athletic footwear and apparel they also carry a wide range of casual clothing and unique footwear, such as Crocs…this summer’s hottest accessory.  The “Croc” craze isn’t just a trend for teenagers.  Available in a rainbow of colors they appeal to wide age range of customers.  Croc’s are made with an anti-microbial and odor resistant material, making them the perfect summer shoe.  Next in line is their rendition of a flip flop. This shoe is certain to make the summer of 2006’s most wanted list!

Looking Good
The Cellulite Solution

By Cynthia Salter-Lewis, MD

ReNew Med-Spa, Manalapan

Cellulite reduction and body contouring treatments are the most sought after therapies today.  However, part of the difficulty in treating cellulite is our incomplete understanding of it.  Even to this day there is no consensus as to the etiology of cellulite. Cellulite occurs in nearly 90% of all women. There are numerous treatment options available including topical, weight loss, endermologie, laser, and the latest therapy that has been introduced to the United States - Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT). Many of these more advanced treatments have been shown to diminish the appearance of cellulite.
