LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Welcome to the premiere issue of BOWER PLACE STYLE, Bower Place’s seasonal lifestyle magazine. Within these pages you’ll find the latest fashion, beauty, home décor and high-tech trends from our experts. I love Christmas, and this festive issue of BOWER PLACE STYLE showcases the very best of the season. Our fashion pages are filled with inspiration from head to toe, and we’ve included a Holiday Gift Guide filled with must-have’s for everyone on your list. Of course, the holidays are all about giving, so please join us November 22nd for our charity shopping event, the 2nd annual Red & White Night. Help us top last year’s event and give over $30,000 to local charities! Christmas is all about toys, too, so we teamed up with The Scottsville Auto Group to give away a 2 year lease on one of their premium vehicles OR $20,000 towards a vehicle on their lot! Drop by our contest area in front of Charm Diamond Centres, enter your name, and look for your exclusive bonus ballot in this magazine! Warmest wishes to you and yours from all of us here at Bower Place. DALLAS HAND Retail Manager, Bower Place

WHO WANTS A LITTLE ARM CANDY? Bangles, bracelets and cuffs are a big part of this season’s must-haves, so whether you go boho or luxe or anything in between, make sure you include this finishing touch.
ADD AN ELEGANT STATEMENT. You’ll want a perfect pair (or two!) of earrings with intricate, delicate patterns. Always remember that with a turtleneck, all you need is a beautiful pair of earrings like either of these and voilà – the look is complete.

CASUAL COMFORT
Whether you’re headed to the office or out to watch the kids play, it’s easy to look great and feel your best. A pair of burgundy jeans paired with a white shirt and navy button-up, leather belt and a pair of boots are easy to put together and wear. Remember to take a hat in case the weather doesn’t cooperate and if you’ve got a workout planned, a good quality sports bag is a must.
Navy Shirt, Brown Shoes, Sports Bag, Burgundy Jeans and Grey Shirt BOATHOUSE Belt BOOTLEGGER Hat LIDS
Style Icon For a look that goes from the office to the cocktail party or event, you can’t go wrong with a classic black blazer, soft red shirt and a bold set of suspenders. Easily freshen the whole look by switching the suspenders for a tie. Finish the look with a pair of grey trousers, a black belt, a pair of good shoes and you’re ready for anything. If you want to make the look more relaxed, just take off the suspenders and switch out the trousers for a pair of classy, yet casual jeans.
