Bold eye-catching prints and colors stole the show this spring and summer, but pastel shades [like cotton candy, marshmallow and macaroon]

So whether its a lovely dress youre sporting, a cute top, casual pants or a sexy skirt, lace details go well with any pastel shade. These candy hues create a delicate and feminine look, ideal for your next ladies luncheon or casual, cozy day at the office. Also, pastel colors and textures allows you to mix and match pieces already in your closet.

ReMeMBeR: Textured fabrics, leather, lace pieces, and cashmere knits always create a luxurious impression.

CReAMSwe have all seen ads in fashion magazines and infomercials marketing a wonder cream that can dissolve cellulite. most of these creams contain a medicine called theophylline. theophylline is a commonly prescribed asthma medication that also has a diuretic effect. there have been many subjective reports of improved body contour and cellulite, as well as a decrease in waist and thigh circumference with the use of theophylline, however, the problem is there is no scientific evidence supporting these individual claims. but the good news is that are minimal side effects from these kinds of products. there is minimal systemic absorption of the cream, in addition to the very low chance [25%] of developing a rash.

MASSAGeendermologie is a form of deep tissue

massage where a mechanical device is used to essentially suction up folds of skin and roll it two revolving rollers. it breaks down fat and excretes it from the body, leading to a corrected body contour purified of irregularities and cellulite. an analysis of bodily fluids proves these claims to be unfounded, but there is an increase in collagen above the muscle fascia, which may lead to a smoothing out of contour irregularities. however, this is yet to proven with clear scientific data. other things to consider with this form of cellulite treatment is that it may take up to 14 treatments, which may be painful, and is also on the more expensive side.

radio frequency (Javeshapetm, accenttm, thermage) utilizes radiofrequency to heat up the skin and subcutaneous tissue to create skin tightening and slight volume reduction. this technology can create a tighter, smoother and long-lasting

appearance of the skin, usually taking 1-3 treatments before achieving desired results.

SuRGICAL TReATMenTsurgical treatment is also a reasonable and reliable option for treating the underlying cause of cellulite. an instrument called a pickle for, or loop lysing cannula, can be used to disrupt the facial attachment between the skin and underlying musical fascia that causes dimpling. this may need to be combined with liposuction, or fat injection, to improve any contour irregularity and prevent reattachment of the fascia, thereby providing an overall improvement in body contour and appearance.

LASeR THeRAPYCellulaze is another invasive treatment that utilizes laser (light) therapy to break up and liquefy the fibrous bands of the fat packets. the additional heat from the laser will also improve the amount of skin tightening. in this situation, it is wise to seek someone experienced with laser treatments because there is always the risk of causing permanent burns to the skin.

Cellulite is a difficult, and often misunderstood, problem affecting even the most fit individuals. there is also little scientific evidence behind the many treatments currently advertised in media, especially on tV and in magazines. Fortunately, many of these treatments have little to no side effects. surgical intervention is an option, but only after thoughtful and serious consideration.

overall, leading a healthy lifestyle by getting adequate exercise, and maintaining a balanced diet are the best ways for people to achieve their own ideal body.

Cellulite is the term used to describe the dimpling of the skin most commonly seen around the hips and thighs. It is more common in women than men, and also more frequently seen in older, post-menopausal women. The difference between the sexes is due to the makeup of the connective tissue between the overlaying skin and the deep muscle fascia. In women, this fascia has been shown to be more vertically oriented, thus creating closed pockets that cause enlarged or excessive fat cells in order to push out the overlaying adjacent skin, which leads to the puckering we call cellulite. When cellulite is present, there is nothing abnormal about a persons body makeup, or their fat cells. Even a thin athletic body can have localized areas of dimpling due to the connective tissue compartmentalizing the fat between the skin and underlying muscle. The question is: What can be done?

MenFall in Chicago can be fleeting. it comes in between the small period of time where the blistering heat finally cools and the dangerously cold winter hasnt reached its peak points yet. so for obvious reasons, it can be easy to overlook. but even with the unreliable weather, these trends are a must-have for this season.

50 shades of grey

From suits to sweaters, different hues of grey were in abundance on the runway this season.

Baggy trouser

this seemingly informal look is replacing the straight-legged cuts from seasons pasts.

Oversized coatsnot to be paired together with the latter baggier trend, but perfectly acceptable with a form-fitting bottom. extra points for wearing a furry, oversized piece.

Where are you from? Tell us about your Rus-sian rootsMy whole family is from Minsk, Belarus excluding my younger brother who was the first to be born in the USA. I moved to Chicago with my mom at the age of 2 and basically grew up there.

When did you first pick up a camera and when did you know that it was something you had a knack for?Ironically I started photographing on a trip to LA, (where I live now) when I was with my family, visiting for my cousins wedding about 7 years ago. My life has always been immersed in the arts and for some reason I felt the need to photograph my trip in LA with my dads point-and-shoot camera; I think it may be because of how pretty I thought everything looked.

It is clear that you worked hard for your suc-cess. How did you go about making the con-nections you made and getting yourself out there?Networking. Networking. Networking. Im a naturally friendly and outgoing person. My dad taught me early on that 1000 friends will get you further than 1000 dollars. I took this to heart and focused on actu-ally making connections with people rather than just trying to make money any way I could.

What were your original plans with photogra-phy and how have they changed?It was just a hobby... until people began respond-ing to my work and really taking me seriously as a photographer. It really was surreal almost. I just pushed buttons and played with light the way I liked. This is still what I do, just with a little more method to my madness.

As an artist, what is your ideal approach to taking photos? Do you have a certain style you like to maintain? A certain image?Id like to think I have a certain style, but Im still figur-ing it out. My tastes and ideas change constantly, as I get inspired by each shoot individually.

Youre living in LA now, right? What was the transition from Chicago to LA like?Its been terrifying and so far the most rewarding year of my life. I had never lived out of my parents home before, let alone on the other side of the country whilst supporting myself financially.

What are your future goals with your career?Just to continue creating work that people will re-spond to, as well as being able to travel constantly.

Do you feel as if growing up Russian impacted your success? Influenced you at all?I would certainly think that growing up in a very Russian household has affected me and instilled strong values and habits that have shaped me into a hardworking, self reliant individual. I cant thank my parents enough for putting up with me through my formative years, as I now realize how beneficial their hardness was on me.

By: Monica Dolecka

The success story behind Proper title goes back to 1996, when Co-founder, Vitaliy Polyakov began his professional title insurance career in the business development sector with one of the largest title insurance companies

in Chicago, which later helped pave the way to his current expertise in the title insurances field. From 1995 to 2003, Vitaliy worked as real estate agent, managing broker, mortgage broker, and held both, real estate appraisal and real estate educator, licenses.

in 2003, Vitaliy co-founded success title services, serving as the companys Vice President of operations. his hard work and determination eventually enabled an extensive growth of the company, which initially began with a team of only 4 employees, later expanding to a reputably sized and respected company operating in three states and underwritten by four major underwriters.

in 2013 Vitaliy partnered with the co-founders of the largest privately owned real estate brokerage firms in us, @properties. the partnership eventually influenced the establishment of Proper title, llC, which acquired complete operations of the previous success title. this lead Vitaliy to become a managing member and executive officer of the company.

recently, Proper title was recognized as a top 25 Fidelity national title agent in the midwest, receiving the rising star award as the Fidelity national titles fastest growing title insurance agency. with this achievement, the company anticipates even more growth and success, and nothing else

demonstrates this better than the addition of over 30 employees to their current team; a significant difference from the original 17 employees the company had just a few years ago.

its companys breaking success is no accident. Proper title thrives off a team-oriented mentality that aims to educate employees so that every department understands the function of the company as a whole. they offer state-of-the art courses so their employees have access to the best education in the industry. Vitaliy, who runs the companys operations, proudly admits,

our company runs smooth because everyone knows how every branch of the business works. our team works efficiently and every problem can be solved by anyone on our team.

Currently, Proper title is expanding its presence with multiple closing locations in lake, Cook, and duPage counties, as well as in michigan and wisconsin. the companys goal is to serve clients in areas that are beginning to develop in the real estate realm, as well as offer services in different states, but their ultimate aim is to expand enough to be able to serve clientele in

the residential, commercial, construction markets, and beyond.and the company isnt stopping there. Proper title is currently

sharing their success with a greater cause by helping serve the community. the y have recently partnered with luries Childrens hospital to develop a charity program where the company matches an employees contributions so that the children at luries can benefit from a maximized donation amount.

22 years ago, Vitaliy and his wife came to the states from kiev, ukraine with enough money to last them only a week yet Vitaliy has proven that dedication and staying focused on his main goal has led him to the very success he revels in today.

ALex GRInSHPun:Getting professional advice may help you avoid big mistakes

By: Monica Dolecka

What comes first: investing money or saving money?even though i make my living investing money for my clients, saving money is what does the heavy lifting in achieving financial independence. saving money each year will steadily build ones nest egg. investment returns can vary year to year but estimated growth be achieved through long-term investing.

What should I do with my previous 401 K plan?it is important to have control over your retirement assets. after leaving an employer, many individuals rollover their 401k assets to an individual retirement

account. this gives the individual control over their retirement assets while avoiding income taxes and early withdrawal penalties. working with an advisor can help individuals select the proper risk level, which is usually based on time frame and individual risk tolerance.

How much risk should I have in my portfolio?this is based on your age, net worth, and length of investment. getting professional advice may help you avoid mistakes in either choosing too much risk or too little risk. risk tolerance is built through education and understanding market forces.

is the investment operations manager for Asset Manage-ment Group (AMG) in north-brook, Illinois. amgs broad range of investor profiles per-fectly illustrates their common sense approach to investing. amg understands and embrac-es everyones unique financial needs and goals and may be able to customize a plan based on specific priorities and circum-stances.

having emigrating from ukraine at the age of 11, alex had literally come from crum-bling socialism, to the front-lines of capitalism. he has lived through two wars, a tech bubble, a historic financial crisis, and a housing market collapse. if any-one knows about overcoming obstacles, its alex, who has hur-dled many in his life. though it hasnt been easy, it has prepared and motivated him to become a successful financial professional. through hard work, determina-tion, and over 15 years of first-rate experience in finance, alex

has been able to reach one of his biggest longtime professional goals - to guide others through what he refers to as the finan-cial jungle.

Alex believes in, and prac-tices, a common sense ap-proach to investing. he feels the first step is for people to truly understand their financial situation. when people under-stand their financial goals and reality, it is much easier for them to stick to a plan that will help them achieve optimal financial independence.

Alex is passionate about the importance of being fi-nancially prepared. his goal is to stand out from others in the in-dustry by seeking to understand a clients unique financial needs, then tailoring a comprehensive financial plan with a personal-ized and humanistic approach. alex understands that the finan-cial decision making process is not easy, and with his 17 years of industry experience, he has de-veloped a simplified formula that has worked for his clients.

Blue GrottoStart your day off with a visit to arguably Capris most breathtaking grotto, the Blue Grotto. Depart from Marina Grande on a group or private tour boat and make sure to get off the boat when you see a tiny cave with a sign that says, Grotta Azzurra. For 13 euros, allow yourself to become enchanted by the most turquoise waters youve ever seen.

Monte Solaro chairliftOnce you return to the Marina Grande, take a bus (for about 20 minutes) into the town of Anacapri. If its a more comfortable ride you seek, opt for one of the islands trendy white taxis with orange and purple velour seating. Once you reach Anacapri, for 10 euros you can ride the Monte Solaro chairlift.

Monte Solaro SummitUp at the top of the summit, you wont be disappointed by the view before you. From this location, you can see the Bays of Naples and Salerno, not to mention Capris iconic Faraglioni, the three large rock formations just off the islands coast.

Lemon GranitaBefore you leave the island, you must stop to try the most delicious semi-frozen Italian sweet treat, granita, at the best stand in Capri. Chiosco Tizzano di Natalia e Antonio Tizzano is the name, but if a long Italian name is difficult to remember, here are some easy-to-follow directions: walk past the Quissisanna Hotel and turn right into the Caeser Augustus Gardens. Whether you try a classic granita or coconut gelato, you cant go wrong.

faraglioniJust as the sun is about to set, take a boat back from the island to see a beautiful sunset and capture the mystical Faraglioni rocks in your picture.

Tucked away in the Tyrrhenian Sea, on the Amalfi coast, lies an island with waters so blue and clear you might forget where the sky ends and the water begins. With a lavish beach, scenic views and luxury cars and boutiques, you can find a piece of Italian paradise on the island of Capri. Though theres plenty to be charmed by in Capri, consider these attractions for a perfect getaway vacation:

KolSklavrustgur 40Beautifully cooked meats, perfectly poured cocktails and massive murals of birds define this new-ish eatery. Iceland is a sort of meat and potatoes kind of country, and the chefs at Kol know how to handle their meats. Because my colleagues are people who love to challenge the physical limits of the human body, they ordered the roasted half chicken with vegetable stuffing, topped with foie gras and served with duck fat french fries. Its hot bird-on-bird action thats far more elegant than turducken, but should not be eaten in its entirety if you have plans later that evening.

The cocktails are crafted by professionals. Theyve perfected the classics while introducing comfort food into their drinks with concoctions like Duck Season, made of smoked duck fat washed bourbon, maraschino and lemon.

LoftidAusturstrti 9This was easily one of the more interesting and strange places I experienced in Reykjavik. Edison bulbs swing above the bar, illuminating a never-ending parade of custom drinks that are modern takes on classic punches, cocktails and elixirs. The large back fire escape provides a chilly respite for dance-weary smokers and drinkers.

The first most important thing to know is a dress code is enforced. The second most important thing to know is that all is not what it seems there. As the night went on and the dance floor began to fill with Reykjaviks most cool and creative, I noticed a disproportionate number of attractive, single, middle-aged women holding court and definitely on the prowl. They behaved like a mafia, accepting drinks and dances as tokens of well-earned

respect. They were powerful and alluring, dressed to the nines and bewitching men like sirens with their gyrations. They also might have been vampires. I steered clear and enjoyed my time there.

GeysirSklavrustgur 16

Youthful and historic, quirky yet sophisticated, Reykjavik is rightly the gateway to Iceland with a booming nightlife and rich culture of music, food and art all set against natures majestic backdrop. My better half, aka my husband, Jason Nichols, was lucky enough to visit Iceland and was able to report back.

Jason is a proud founding member and Creative Lead

at Enso, a lovely little ad shop thats out to change the world by helping brands make a positive social impact. He also happens to be the best travel mate and one of the most stylish men I know, pulling off casual pocket squares and tabi socks on a Tuesday at the office. NBD. I know Im biased, but Im certain you too will fall in love after reading his guide to Reykjavik.

This store felt extra amazingly Iceland (from my outsider perspective). As soon as I walked in the door I was greeted by a sawhorse draped in the fluffiest, most sleep-inducing long-haired sheep pelts the world has ever known. Sweaters, knit from the wool of the immediate family members of those sheep, line the walls and blanket the tables. There are outdoorsy looking jackets and boots and bags that can handle anything the outdoors can dish out, but also for looking fashionably outdoorsy. They even have a grownup onesie downstairs that I imagine some Icelandic hulk of a man could somehow make look normal. I am not that man.

KronKronlaugavegi 63B

During my entire adventure in Iceland I wished my wife was by my side, but never more than when I explored this almost hidden treasure. Vibrant textiles splashed color over the walls and fixtures. Dresses burst with florals, ombres and watercolor washes, draping themselves along displays and onto the floor. I wanted my wife wearing everything.

herrafataverslun Kormaks og Skjaldarlaugavegur 59

Men who enter this store are men of discerning taste, of experience and wisdom, who are meticulous about the way they present themselves to the world. The men who work here are craftsmen of a rare sort, laboring in a tradition of old to help men transcend their status and bring elegance back to a society that is sorely lacking in it.

These employees are also in a sort of pinup calendar wearing their finest digs, which may undermine the whole elegance thing but does a great job of capturing the vibe and look of the store. Its pretty damn funny, too. On purpose. I think.

hallgrimskirkja churchhallgrms Square

Dedicated to the renowned sacred poet of Iceland, hallgrimur Petursson, gujn Samelssons design of the church takes inspiration from materials and iconic natural landmarks around the country. The exterior resembles a mountainous rocket ship more than a house of god. It is said that his rippling block pillar facade is designed to resemble the basalt lava flows of Icelands landscape. Its observation tower is the tallest structure in Reykjavik and is the only place that provides clear views of the entire city and surrounding landscape.

Once you have tasted the sumptuous flavors at Saranellos with a side of their regal catering and a rustic-mod ambiance, you will never settle for less. Master Chef Mychael Bonner delivers an exquisite Italian cuisine derived from his sojourns to Italy and France, as well as from 28-years of professional practice. His artistry allures the Chicago Bears and celebrities from all over America such as Fergie and Golf Megastar, Tiger Woods, who feasted at Saranellos all five days of his stay at the Wheeling Westin last summer.

With only the choicest ingredients, every morsel is handcrafted within the fort walls of the restaurantfrom the pasta and the sausage to the sauces and the pizza dough. And by choicest ingredients, I mean that Chef Bonner fished in the Arctic Circle with the very mariners who harvest his Alaskan King Crabthat the Roasted Berkshire Pork Chop is an ancient heirloom bovine that has never been genetically alteredand that each recipe has been meticulously crafted to the gram, from over 28-years of trial and error. Backed by a stellar brigade of long-time culinary companions, Mychael Bonner and Saranellos will serve you an entre n dessert to remember.

Personally, my evening at Saranellos started with an aged bottle of Napa County Duckhorn. As my date was deciding between an appetizer of Spinach Gnocchi and Zuppa Di Mussels, I ordered a Caprese Salad, comprised of fresh arugula, heirloom tomatoes, house-made

mozzarella, and hand-crafted pesto. Then, as I delicately tasted the nuances of its bold flavor, our charming waiter suggested one of Chef Bonners specialties, The Braised Beef Ravioli is a braised short rib, delicately pulled and slow-cooked for six hours in fresh vegetables, herbs and wine, and filled into our home-made ravioli, served with parmesan cheese and a meat rag. While my lovely date drooled over his description, I decided to go with a pan-seared, crunchy-skinned, Northern Walleye Pike, and we finished dinner with two Godiva Chocolate Martinis.

The bottom line is that the food was so aesthetically spectacular that I almost couldnt devour it. But as I did, I recalled something that Master Chef Bonner said to me during our interview, There is no such thing as mastery, because a true master is always seeking to exceed their greatest creation.

chicago has no shortage of Italian restaurants. Yet there always seems to be word of a new one opening up. I was

hearing a lot of buzz about this Italian restaurant in River North located inside the Godfrey Hotel called, dolce. Have you been? If the answer is no, you are definitely going to want to add it to your must try list.

Where do I begin? Okay, how about this. Every course they brought out was AMAZING.

dolce is a sister restaurant to award-winning Miami hot spot with the same name. The restaurant recently took top prize on Bravo TVs Best New Restaurant. This location is certainly working hard to make sure Dolce Chicago keeps up that reputation. The decor is hip and pretty, but the best thing is the layout is very spacious. The tables arent crammed together so you dont feel like youre sitting on your neighbors lap.

We pretty much tried one of everything. Its what I like to do. But we had a big group and we all shared. Here are a few things you should definitely order:

The Bruschetta came with three different toppings. The restaurant prides itself on using seasonally focused foods and local ingredients. So its always changing. The fresh burrata, tomatoes, vegetables and prosciutto were accompanied with a delicious balsamic on a perfectly toasted crostini.

The Neapolitan pizza stood out. We went with two different toppings. The tartufata with spicy salami and truffle oil and the contadina topped with fresh vegetables such as eggplant, zucchini, mushrooms and peppers. The crust was perfect and did not overwhelm the flavors.

One of my absolute favorite items on the menu is the grilled octopus with chickpeas, farro and pistachio vinaigrette. I could just go there and eat this alone. But that would not be good because then Id miss out on the other tasty items like the Dolce meatballs, just to name a few.

Hold on, we havent even gotten to the main course options yet. The pasta is homemade and delicious. We shared a few, but the fettuccine alla bolognese stood out. I have heard the seafood is quite good. Ill save that for my next trip.

I forgot to mention the cocktails. If you just want to pop in for a quick drink and appetizers, the bar is very inviting and roomy. The mixologists are helpful in steering you in the right direction. Finally dessert. Oh wait! I didnt have any. After hearing about what I just ate Im sure you understand there was no room left. But overall, everyone else seemed to enjoy the desserts and, really, the whole experience.

Its definitely worth a date night with your special someone or a group of friends. Word is still getting out about Dolce so you might be able to snag a reservation with a few days notice. But hurry, it wont be long, if its not already too late before this place is so packed youll be waiting weeks to get in.

HowBru Started

a diScuSSioN with cafe owNeR,

aLyoNa udaRtSeva

By: Becky Yeker

After checking off places on the long list of cafes to eat, drink, and hang out in Wicker Park, I found myself consistently intrigued by Bru, a coffee, juice, and smoothie shop, in the heart of the six corners. After sitting down with Alyona Udartseva, manager and co-owner of Bru, I merely saw a glimpse of the rapid success that Russian-Americans have established here today. Whether its Chicago, New York, or Miami, the Russian community has built their reputation in the arts and business. Udartseva infused art, nutrition, quality coffee, and gourmet breakfast & lunch options into a spacious coffee shop in Wicker Park.

first thing is first, where are you from originally?Vladivostok, Russia

why did you come to america?I came to America for the first time at age sixteen as a foreign exchange student. After loving my experience here, I returned to Russia, finished high school, started college at Vladivostok State University of Economics and Service and wrote my first business plan. Then, I made my way to Alaska to finish up my Bachelors Degree and then finally found myself in Chicago to work on my Masters degree.

what were your initial goals when you got here? after college?As soon as the opportunity came to follow my dreams, I immediately began implementing my ideas from my original business plan, like focusing on supporting local artists and having a variety of options on the menu.

when did Bru open?On March 17th of 2014, Br officially opened for business.

where did you get the ideas to start something like Bru?I knew I wanted a space that could be a platform for artists in the community and a local spot for people to study and hang out. I wanted to focus on having quality

product in an open and inviting space.

what makes Bru different than all of the other coffee shops in wicker Park?I really utilize the space were given. Being in a neighborhood filled with many young people, I wanted to divide the sections of the store so that people could comfortably study in one area and people could talk and hang out in another. Br also has an art gallery that is open for comedy open mics, poetry events, and is rented out to sushi and cupcake making classes. I also like to focus on making sure the staff is welcoming and kind because we are surrounded by so many coffee shops that have intimidating auras and I want to make sure that we dont come off as pretentious. We also have organic coffee roasted by a Chicago-based company called Sparrow, as well as organic produce and vegetarian and vegan options on both food and drink menus.

are any of your ideas with Bru dictated by your Russian background at all?We have a huge variety of teas and we also have crepes! Coming from a Russian background, art is truly valued, and I wanted to make sure I could do the same here.

what do you want Brus aura to be?I want it to feel like you are at home sitting on your couch and enjoying a cup of coffee or doing your homework.

Bru is a coffee shop that trumps the stigma of what a coffee shop should be. It is the quiet and refreshing space on the hectic and busy Milwaukee Ave., surrounded by various coffee shops that all bring different spices to the neighborhood. What makes Bru different? Bru is lively, open, peaceful, and stress-free. Some customers have even said that they can feel the happiness from outside. Udartseva created a coffee shop different from all the rest, confirming that Russians, in fact, do it best.

Amidst dark alleyways and dim-light restaurants, well-dressed individuals gather in clusters outside seemingly unassuming doors. Theres no sign, no trademark exterior to attract passerby. But this new trend is no gimmick, its a craze from the past making its way onto the streets of Chicago. Want to know whats inside? Check out some of Chicagos finest speakeasies.

Originated during the Prohibition era in the 1920s, a speakeasy was established as a hidden place to serve alcohol. Though alcohol is legal today, secret bars are bringing back the allure of exclusivity with tiny establishments tucked away in basements and dark streets. For night dwellers that desire a taste of the past, theres no better place to discover a mysterious world than at a speakeasy.
