We all have made promises to ourselves at the coming of a new year such as losing those 20

pounds or finally quitting smoking. We have also faced the unanticipated disappointment of

ending the year likely having gained weight and putting down the cigarette for about a week

out of the entire year. Yes, the new year is all about setting new goals and striving to become a better

person than you were the previous year. The key to avoiding ending a year without meeting any of your

goals, is to set attainable goals for yourself. Therefore you can set bigger and better goals come 2013

because you finally achieved the goals you set for yourself in 2012. Here are some goals that are not

hard to reach and will make you a better person by the years end.

by Shaquana Epps

COMMIT TO VOLUNTEERING MORE

Volunteering does not have to be a chore and can be an activity that is enjoyable. Find a place to

volunteer that includes and involves doing something you like. If you love animals, find an animal

shelter. If you love clothes and fashion, find a local fashion magazine or clothing store and ask if

they could use your help. You can virtually volunteer anywhere and have fun while doing it! You will

be amazed at how many businesses would jump at the chance of util izing your assistance without the

obligation of paying you. The best thing about volunteering is having experience you can add to a

resume!

COMMIT TO TRYING SOMETHING NEW

This is probably one of the best, most exhilarating experiences a person can have in life. Trying

something new allows you to have a better idea of what you like and don’t l ike. Do not let this

task scare you! Trying something new can be as simple as going on a blind date to something more

outrageous as skydiving. Commit to doing at least one or two things that you have never tried before

or have been skeptical of doing. In the end, you will feel accomplished because you did it .

COMMIT TO GETTING RID OF THE LEECHES

Everyone has someone or a group of people in their l ife that does not need to be in it whether it is

a friend, acquaintance or family member. The best thing for you to do is rid the people in your life

who are not there to encourage and help you. These extra people drain you and bring along unwanted

stress, so purge the stress by purging the leeches. Being less stressful leaves room for a better

functioning and healthier you.

COMMIT TO LIVING FOR LESS

I don’t mean swapping out your SUV for a small hybrid (even though this is great), but saving money

can be achieved while shopping and dinning at your usually spots. Just because you decide to save

money does not mean you have to sacrifice having cute clothing items or dinning at nice restaurants.

The Internet is loaded with coupons and offers towards things you love at discounted prices! Check

out sites such as Groupon and retailmenot.com that offers discounts and coupons to popular stores

and restarants. In the end, you will stil l be doing things you like to do and buying clothes you love to

wear while saving money, and who doesn’t want to do that?

Look Great Effortlessly There is one woman that we all know who looks amazing every time you see her. From her hair to her make-up, all the way down to her fabulous shoes. It’s hard to believe someone could look so good all the time! But believe it or not, looking stylish everyday does not have to be an unattainable goal. Actually, being stylish can be very easy for any woman even if you’re short on time! Follow these simple steps to become a figure of envy effortlessly!

Step 1: Plan aheadThe average woman does not have enough time to find the perfect outfit in the morning while she is rushing to be to work on time or to get the kids up and ready to go. However, if you lay out your wardrobe the night before, you give yourself more time to do your make-up and maybe even grab some breakfast!

Step 2: Stick to the basicsUsually when you are going out during the day, you may be going to work, school, brunch or just running errands. Thus, heavy make-up is not required. To create a fresh, polished face, you only need to focus on three things: foundation, eyebrows and lips. First, use primer on your face to fill in pores and even out skin. Next apply foundation and contour your eyebrows to your liking. Nice defined eyebrows bring a nice, even structure to

your face. Now, all you need is a nice color on your lips whether it be nude or a pop of color. A nice pop of color brings the attention to your lips and allows you to leave the eye bare with the requirement of only a little mascara. Achieving a well put together face is quick and easy, and is perfect for any occasion and any outfit.

Step 3: Include a Statement piece

Statement pieces come in the form of shoes, jewelry or hair accessories. Your wardrobe only needs one statement piece, other wise your look can become an overload to onlookers. So, you can wear a pair of jeans and a fitted white v-cut t-shirt with a pair of bright colored studded heels or with a nice big, shiny necklace. Just remember to keep it simple and let only one piece stand out.

Step 4: Don’t Stress your Tresses

Having a bad hair day can totally kill your motivation to dress your best. If all else fails, pull your hair back into a bun or a sleek ponytail. A bun or ponytail can be dressed up as well as down. For women with short hair, you can elongate the length of your ponytail by adding extensions.

Step 4: Smile!Smiling always makes you stand out and look more attractive. Smiling is the best accessory that any woman

can wear. It compliments any outfit and it’s FREE!

International Fashion & lifestyle photographer Sandra Åberg is a talented, young female photographer

whose work often leans towards the feminine and romantic. Her romantic and whimsical yet modern

pictures have their own distinctive style and energy. Sandra is obsessed with trying to create a dreamy

universe through her pictures as a way of escaping the seriousness of the crazy, at times tragic, world

we live in.

She gets a lot of her inspiration from nature and at the start of her career Sandra had a strong passion

for nature photography. Even now her fondness of the outdoors means that her work is rarely done

in a studio. She simply

enjoys the challenge

and excitement of

working outside. She

prefers to work with

natural light, and adds

to that flash lighting, to

create her distinctive

style.

After living in the fashion

capital Milano for 9

months, Sandra fell in

love with her opposite

side and the fashion

world, something that

she had never thought

she would photograph.

The love/ hate relationship she has with fashion is what makes her pictures more than just your run of

the mill fashion image. Sandra is now based in Copenhagen & Milan.

Whether we’re talking editorial, advertising or portraits Sandra possesses strong attention to detail and

is very much a perfectionist. With the help of her prior education in marketing and sales, she has a

good handle on the business side of the industry as well. But mostly what sheloves is the creativity

involved in trying to find a concept and mood that suits her clients visions.

NEW YEAR.NEW LOOK.NEW SEASON.Marissa Cameron

Spring 2012 is just around the corner. From the runway to the streets, these are some of the season’s trends...

The Fishtai l BraidA chunky thick f ishtai l braid with a sleep center part. Get creative by weaving colored lace or str ing through the braid.

Start by dividing your hair into two large sections, straight down the middle of your hair. Next, pull a thin strand from the outside of the first section of hair. With this thin strand pull it over the rest of the first section of hair, and then add it under the second section of hair. Repeat this action on the other side, and continue on each side until you reach the end of your hair.

Fishtail Styles That Rock

16 | WINK MAGAZINE

Bright LipsShades of coral, red-orange and hot pinks are al l rave this coming spring. This look creates a pop to a neutral toned outfit . Find a fun shade that suits your look, and top if off with a layer of gloss to add some shine.

Just Peachy CheeksBlushes with shimmery oranges and pinks give you a natural and healthy glow. By placing a peachy-toned blush high on your cheekbones and blending downward, you can create a soft f lush with a hint of sheen.

French Ponytai l :A classy low ponytai l with windswept texture. Use a thickening spray on damp hair before blow-drying. Once hair is dry, gather into a loose pony that barely swoops over the ears. Then wrap a few of the strands in the pony around the base of the tai l to cover up the rubber band and secure the wrap with bobby pins. This look can be worn casual or dressed up. To dress it up a bit, wrap the hair in the ponytai l into a t ight bun and secure with bobby pins.

Interview with Betty Holland, Sophisticated StonesQ Using five words, describe your jewelry

and designs.

A Bold, show-stopper, one-of-a-kind, colorful, statement pieces

Q What type of woman wears Sophisticated Stones?

A Ones that love the unusual. The boldness of my jewelry makes a woman stand out

in a crowd and imbues confidence.

Q How did you build Sophisticated Stones?

A I began Sophisticated Stones in 2003 after designing jewelry for myself and having

friends encourage me to open a business.

Q What are some of the physical attributes or special characteristics

in the materials and jewels you tend to look for?

A I’m inspired by nature and unusual materials that can be used for jewelry.

I totally think “out of the box”, creating pieces from snake spines, upholstery cording, feathers, shells, natural minerals and more.

Q What countries do you travel to in search for your materials? What is

the most unique jewel or material you’ve used?

A I travel from New York to CA to India to purchase materials for my jewelry.

I love to travel! I think the most unique material I have used is a snake spine.

Q To date, what is your biggest accomplishment?

A My biggest accomplishment is founding SOPHISTICATED

STONES OUTREACH. During my first visit to India in 2006, I witnessed the face of poverty. In 2009, I formed the SSO foundation, assisting village school children in the Ranthambhore area of Rajasthan. My partner, Ateeq and I have purchased sweaters, shoes, uniforms and even furniture for three schools. We organized a fundraiser, “TO INDIA WITH LOVE BAZAAR,” in November of 2010. Our belief is “education is the DOOR out of poverty!” For more information and to donate, please visit: www.facebook.com/india.60.

Q What has been your biggest set back?

A My biggest set back is health issues.

Q How do you deal with industry competition?

A I don’t have a problem with industry competition. Actually, I

enjoy helping other artists in all areas with their businesses. I love marketing about as much as I do designing jewelry, and I like to help other people market as well. My belief in life is, “love for others and helping others, helps everyone,” It’s a ripple effect: what we do for someone encourages them to help someone else…whether it is for us or another person, it doesn’t matter. We may call it one of the “Laws of the Universe.”

Q What do you consider Sophisticated Stones position within the fashion, retail and design

industry to be?

A My jewelry is one-of-a-kind and unique making it desirable to stylists, photographers, models,

etc. My jewelry was featured in the Elle Accessories Magazine 2008 fall issue and requested for photo shoots by Allure, The Oprah Magazine, Cosmopolitan and more.

Q Where do you see yourself and Sophisticated Stones in 10 years?

A I’ve recently closed my website and retail business to focus more on my outreach program

and enjoy the fashion world! I designed jewelry and hair accessories for Alena Fede’s “CFW Bridal Show,” collection as well as jewelry for a Charleston produced movie, “Angela’s Dream.” Stylists and photographers from LA to the East Coast have requested jewelry for photo shoots. These are my two loves: the children in India and the world of fashion. I am so blessed. All of the proceeds from the sale of my jewelry go to my outreach program. So in 10 years I hope to continue combining designing jewelry and raising money for the foundation.

Thanks, But No Thanks by Emilie Johnston

A Guide on What to Do with Unwanted Gifts

Regift it.So you got two of the same thing. It happens. Before you settle on donating it, or worse, throwing it out, consider regifting. There, I said it. No, it’s not tacky, so close your mouth and try to shrink your eyes back down to their normal size, because chances are, you’ve received a regift at some point without even knowing it. You just have to follow a few simple rules. First, I shouldn’t have to say this, but try to refrain from regifting to your close friends. Regifting is most appropriate for acquaintances and the annual game of white elephant at the office. Second, have the decency to rewrap the gift. It takes wrapping paper at least a month before it starts to acquire those mysterious crinkles, so you’ll bust your own cover if you hand over a box that looks like it needs a shot of botox. And you’ll definitely be discovered if you regift to the person that gave it to you in the first place. Lastly, at all costs, do not regift the following items: cologne, soaps, candles, socks, obscure books and CDs (unless the person receiving it is into that weird stuff), obviously cheap movies, book lights that clip onto your book, tacky costume jewelry that looks like it came from a yard sale, and last but not least, fruitcakes.

“ Regifting is most appropriate for acquaintances and the annual game of white elephant at the office.”

Recycle it.Oh good, another noisy holiday sweater from Aunt Edna. And Grandpa. And you haven’t even made it over to your cousin Gertrude’s house yet. If you’ve started to notice a steadily growing mountain of red and green wool in that storage trunk in your attic, it’s probably about time to get rid of it. Throwing it away would be such a waste—I mean, they are brand new, even if they’re ugly—donating them would be insensitive—not unlike the act of giving them—and considering our nation’s hoarding habits, it’s not unlikely that one of you readers out there is guilty of the all-American method of stowing things away for, well, no reason.

The solution is simple: put it all to good re-use. Turn even the most unthinkably hideous sweaters into ironic scarves by cutting them into strips and sewing them together. You can mix and match the strips for extra irony and then wear them yourself or choose to share your satiric fashion statement with appreciative friends. Just don’t give one to your Aunt Edna.

Donate it.At last, we have arrived at the final option. If you can’t bring yourself to engage in regifting—really, get over yourself—and you are entirely unconfident in your ability to execute anything that requires creativity and a little resourcefulness, donate your newest unwanted Christmas present to a local charity. There is always somebody less fortunate and more thankful than you are who would love any sweater regardless of the poor taste of the person who chose it. Keep in mind that making a donation doesn’t have to be limited to Christmas time. It’s a fantastic way to start the new year and is equally as meaningful in any season.

Faux Fur Fun Fashions – By Louise Hudson

Faux fur trims can turn the most bland

of outfits into contemporary and cozy clothing, perfect for the January chill. In stores, fur trimmed outfits command pretty high price tags but you can transform something plain from your wardrobe into a trendy, fur-trimmed fashion statement with just a little ingenuity and a few dollars.

Choosing FurYou can buy ready cut fur trimmings by the yard in all fabric stores. Or you can cut your own strips of fur out of a piece of fur fabric. You would only need to buy ¼ of a yard of the fur fabric to trim an outfit so this can be the most cost effective way to go. Fabric stores usually have several colors as well as various animal prints.

Cutting FurWhen cutting fur fabric, turn it over to the reverse side and slide the scissors under the backing only. You cut through the backing rather than the fur itself, so as not to shorten the furry strands on the right side of the fabric. The strip you have cut will then just peel away, keeping all the fur intact. If you cut into the fur itself, you will end up with shorter pile on the cut side which doesn’t look as plush.

If you’re not sure of cutting a straight line, use a ruler and draw a line to follow on the reverse side of the fabric. I usually cut strips about 1 inch wide to trim a neckline or along vertical seams on a top or jacket. For cuffs, I prefer about a four-inch width for an opulent look. But you can use any width you like. Just pin the fur onto the garment and try it on to check that the cuffs and hems will still fit you with fur added. The fur fabric is not very stretchy, so you have to make sure the length you have cut will fit over your hands and over your head.

You can also cut strips diagonally across the fur fabric to give them more of a stretch and to make it easier to attach them around curves or corners.

26 | WINK MAGAZINE

Attaching FurTo attach your fur strips, you can either hand sew them on from the back with neat running stitches either side of the backing; machine sew them right along the top edge in a matching thread that merges into the fur; or fabric glue them on (remember to line the outfit with plastic or newspaper so the glue doesn’t seep through).

Ideas- A plain dress looks great with fur added around

the neck and cuffs

- Top a pair of boots with a strip of fur (glued on)

- Trim a hoodie with fur around the cuffs, hem, hood and even down each side of the zipper (making sure it is not too close as the fur may get caught in the zipper teeth)

- Use strips of fur to re-vamp a handbag or tote

- Make a cardigan more cozy with fur around the collar and cuffs

- A poncho looks great with fur trim added around the neck or around the hemline

- Add fur cuffs to a pair of gloves

AlternativesSometimes coats or jackets come with removable fur collars. These can be useful to add to other outfits such as cardigans or vests. I just tack them on by hand or even just use safety pins from the back so that they remain removable for use on other garments.

Look out for readymade marabou feather scarves, collars or boas in stores. If they are the right length, they can be used to decorate around the neckline of a simple one-shoulder dress. A boa can be cut down to size. Just pin the scarf around the whole neckline with safety

pins at regular intervals from the back of the fabric so it can be easily removed for washing. Try it

on before cutting any of the length off. Flamboyant feathers can

change a simple dress into a glamorous gala

gown.

Care tips

Check that the fur you buy is washable if you’re going to

sew or glue it onto a garment and avoid putting it in the dryer.

If your fur trims look a bit matted after washing, just get a wide-toothed comb and restore the trims to silky, pre-washing perfection by fluffing it out.

VerseWorks Welcomes The Session Live! From the Art Bar Shaquanna Epps

C olumbia has a very rich art culture and it came alive Tuesday December 10th at The Art Bar located in downtown

Columbia. Artist and art lovers gathered to share and experience poetry, vocal and instrumental selections in a small, intimate atmosphere. The session included local amateur poets such as Jamal Calhoun, Sufiya and Mr. Wonder, as well as featured musicians Mike Stone and the Kritikal Band and musical artist Bphatz and King Amin. This event has been labeled “The dopest poetry show on the east coast” by host Spiryt Tha Tattopoet, and the saying upheld in truth.

Spiryt explains how this spoken word session has been going on for ten years and it has yet to lose its luster with the bar being filled from every corner. Spiryt says that each time the event is held, it only gets better and better. To add to the engagement, hearty food was provided and a variety of drinks were available ranging from water to cocktails. This event had everything a person could ask for in order to have an enjoyable evening.

The entertainment included a saxophone player, pianist and even a gentleman with a flute who mixed the vibrant sounds of the flute with tunes to blues and jazz that had everyone in the bar clapping their hands and screaming for more! Entertainment was not short of soulful singers as well as soulful poets who were well versed. The most spectacular element of the night was the abundance of cultural diversity. Latinos, African-Americans, Indians and Caucasians were all present and performed, and were given full support from the audience. This was a beautiful sight that added to the hot atmosphere.

Although this event was on a Tuesday night when many attendees and performers had to report to work the next morning, it did not stop many from enjoying themselves into the wee hours of the morning. “These events can last until at least two in the morning!” says Spiryt. Something spectacular has to be going on in order to keep working people up past there usual bed times. VerseWorks was nothing less than spectacular and was one of the most entertaining events of 2011. Look for the next VerseWorks event on the second Tuesday of each month at the Art Bar.

Interview with Flow by Tara DavisMarissa Cameron

Q: Tell me about Flow by Tara Davis.

A: Flow by Tara Davis started when I was a little girl. I be-

gan sewing dresses for my dolls, and since then I’ve always

had a passion for it. I went to school for fashion design at

the Art institute of Atlanta after high school, and ended up

leaving and moving back to Charlotte, N.C. From there, I be-

gan working in retail management and also had two daugh-

ters during this time. I began designing and making clothes

again after making a few pieces for a friend of mine to wear

in a fashion show. Each dress I make is a customary fit for

the entire body.

Q: What type of woman wears Flow by Tara Davis?

A: The type of woman who wears Flow by Tara Davis is

cosmopolitan chic, a social butterfly and hard working. My

dresses offer versatility and functionality as each design can

be worn to work, meetings, and even a cocktail party. Each

piece is designed to be classy with conservative flair and a

modern twist.

Q: Who or what inspires the style of your collections?

A: Anything inspires me. Whether it’s colors, buildings or

the outdoors. My inspirations don’t necessarily have to be

fashion related either; it’s really anything I see.

Q: How long does it usually take you to prepare a collection?

Tell me a little about the preparation and process of creating

a new collection.

A: From concept to product the process usually takes 4-6

months. The process begins with inspiration boards and con-

cepts. The boards can be filled with colors, designs and ideas

I have for the collection.

Q: What would you consider Flow by Tara Davis’s position in

the Fashion/Design Industry to be?

A: I am an independent designer. As an independent de-

signer, I do everything myself. From designing to production

everything is run through me. Being an independent designer

can be a bit harder at times when it comes to marketing my

brand.

Q: What are some of your goals for Flow by Tara Davis?

A: In the future I hope to become wholesale. I’d like to have

contracts with businesses and of course become a nation

wide brand as well.

Q: Where do you see yourself and Flow by Tara Davis in ten

years?

A: In ten years, I see myself showing my collection in a

major fashion week and selling my pieces on a larger volume

scale. I also want to still enjoy what I do. It’s important to

love what you do, especially if you are doing it on a day-to-

day basis.

Q: How do you set yourself apart from competition?

A: The way my dresses fit is one of the most important things

that I focus on. I do a lot of research and analytical work

on current dresses as well. I also think the versatility of my

dresses is another thing that sets me apart from competition

too. My pieces can be worn to more than just one event.

Q: What is your own personal and Flow by Tara Davis’s big-

gest accomplishment?

A: One of my biggest accomplishments has definitely been

doing this business on my own. Having made it this far in the

industry already has been such a big accomplishment. One

of my biggest personal accomplishments has been raising

two daughters and being a mother all while owning my busi-

ness at the same time.
