Downtown Wilmette offers local<br />
shopping options for holidays<br />
Have you been to downtown Wilmette<br />
lately? If your answer is no,<br />
you are in for some surprises—the<br />
Village has experienced a dramatic<br />
renaissance as of late. That’s right<br />
- new restaurants, boutiques and<br />
services have emerged amongst<br />
the longtime family- owned greats<br />
making it easy and fun to shop locally<br />
this holiday season.<br />
There are so many reasons to<br />
skip the mall (besides the parking<br />
lot altercations and the bad music).<br />
In this day and age of online<br />
shopping and mass production, it’s<br />
more important than ever to feel<br />
part of and invested in our community.<br />
Just ask the local business<br />
owners who live, shop and play<br />
here every day.<br />
So here’s how to check things<br />
off your gift list and not even leave<br />
town…How about starting with<br />
one of Wilmette’s new retailers?<br />
Stop at Exhibit for unique gifts and<br />
apparel from vintage cocktail sets<br />
to new leather jackets. Are clothing<br />
and accessories on your list? Head<br />
to Hubba-Hubba for classic, trendsetting<br />
and affordable fashion and<br />
Persimmon for merchandise from<br />
Paris to Istanbul. Pop by Chantilly<br />
Lace to see their fresh new look -<br />
same spot, new owner.<br />
’Tis the season for hostess gifts<br />
so explore the many wonderful<br />
choices at Raven and Dove, grab a<br />
bottle of goodness from The Bottle<br />
Shop or flowers from Morning<br />
Glory Flower Shop. If jewelry is<br />
on your gift list make sure to visit<br />
both Lambrecht and Wilmette Jewelers<br />
for some beautiful baubles.<br />
And of course make sure to stop<br />
in Lad and Lassie, a long-time favorite<br />
with kids and adults alike<br />
for clothing and gifts. Want to see<br />
it all in style? Stop by Craig Scott<br />
Opticians.<br />
What’s also great about downtown<br />
Wilmette is that you can make<br />
a night (or day) out of it. Come enjoy<br />
great dining and entertainment<br />
choices like Depot Nuevo, Nicks,<br />
The Big Tomato and Rock House.<br />
And why not get spruced up at<br />
Rolf’s Salon before heading out on<br />
the town?<br />
Planning on entertaining this<br />
Please see shopping, 18<br />

Village Toy Shop remains treasured part of Winnetka community<br />
The Village Toy Shop has been<br />
a community landmark and an important<br />
part of Winnetka for over 65<br />
years.<br />
Located in the heart of downtown,<br />
it is a place filled to the roof<br />
with wonderful toys just waiting to<br />
become a child’s beloved treasure.<br />
The cozy and inviting front window<br />
is jam-packed with wonderful<br />
things to choose from. One glance<br />
at the store and you want to come<br />
in and have a look around. You can<br />
find a huge variety of playthings<br />
there, everything from toys invented<br />
last year to the classics which<br />
have been around for decades.<br />
There are new toys that the kids<br />
are all talking about, and toys<br />
which have withstood the test of<br />
time. The store has Legos, puzzles,<br />
dolls, science kits, and stuffed animals.<br />
They even have a section of<br />
classic candy that will remind you<br />
of your childhood.<br />
For the past 30 years, the Berwanger<br />
family has owned and lovingly<br />
run the store. On any day,<br />
you can find the mother-daughter<br />
team of Pat and Liz Berwanger<br />
behind the counter offering their<br />
knowledge and advice to their<br />
extremely loyal customers. The<br />
customers walking out with bags<br />
brimming full of beautifully<br />
wrapped toys seem almost as excited<br />
and enthusiastic about the<br />
store as the staff.<br />
When customers walk in the<br />
door they are cheerfully greeted<br />
as old friends, and they know<br />
that they will find just what they<br />
need. Along with their fantastic<br />
and dedicated staff, Pat and Liz<br />
can help you find the perfect gift<br />
for all the kids on your list. The<br />
Toy Shop team members listen<br />
to find out exactly what the child<br />
likes, and then they help you find<br />
just the appropriate thing for<br />
that child. They especially love<br />
the challenge of trying to find<br />
something for the child who has<br />
everything already. They even offer<br />
free gift wrapping and local<br />
delivery.<br />
One of their signature services<br />
is to put a free little toy on top of<br />
every gift that they wrap. This is<br />
the place that kids run to when they<br />
have allowance money to spend,<br />
and where new grandparents come<br />
because it was where they shopped<br />
when they were kids. Many of<br />
the customers can tell you stories<br />
about how many years they have<br />
been happily shopping at the store.<br />
The Village Toy Shop continues<br />
to be a treasured part of a community<br />
that clearly loves the place.<br />

John Plunkett Interiors: Why high point fashion matters to you<br />
You live here on the North<br />
Shore so it’s likely you have<br />
fashionable taste and care a<br />
great deal about the look and<br />
feel of your home, especially<br />
now as we approach the holidays<br />
and welcome guests<br />
into our homes. Assuming<br />
that, you may enjoy hearing<br />
the latest from a small place<br />
on earth called High Point,<br />
North Carolina. No, this is<br />
not where Santa relaxes after<br />
completing his seasonal<br />
chores, but it does have<br />
significance. It is the world<br />
epicenter of the interior design<br />
and home furnishings<br />
industry, which strongly influences<br />
the interior fashions<br />
we choose for our homes.<br />
If you were to visit this<br />
small Southern metropolis<br />
almost any time of the year,<br />
you’d think you stepped into<br />
a time capsule from 50 to 75<br />
years ago. It’s quiet, folksy,<br />
and let’s just say, “quaint,”<br />
but during the third week of<br />
April or October each year,<br />
High Point plays host to the<br />
International Home Furnishings<br />
Market. Overnight<br />
the population bursts by<br />
100,000 attendees from the<br />
city’s regular 108,000 residents.<br />
This is when furniture<br />
retailers and interior design<br />
fashionistas from around the<br />
globe flock to see manufacturers’<br />
newest collections<br />
and design statements. It is<br />
all wonderfully conceived<br />
and orchestrated by some of<br />
the best furniture and interior<br />
design talent in the world.<br />
John Plunkett Interiors,<br />
located in Plaza del Lago in<br />
Wilmette, just returned from<br />
the Market. With millions of<br />
square feet of manufacturer<br />
showroom display space to<br />
cover, you could spend two<br />
weeks and not see it all. In<br />
their briefer than normal<br />
four-day whirlwind tour,<br />
here is what John Plunkett<br />
Interiors saw:<br />
Style Trends – As varied<br />
as tastes are in the general<br />
population – from ornate<br />
traditional to clean contemporary<br />
designs, and from<br />
relaxed and casual to more<br />
formal looks – so, too, are<br />
the variations in furniture<br />
and interior design. Suffice<br />
it to say you see it all.<br />
One of the significant style<br />
trends in recent years is what<br />
you might call the restoration<br />
hardware look. Characterized<br />
by large scale furniture<br />
pieces in rustic gray<br />
tone wood finishes, along<br />
with extra deep (sometimes<br />
too deep to be comfortable)<br />
upholstery, this look has<br />
gained appeal. It definitely<br />
is not your parents’ furniture.<br />
Yet some question how<br />
much life remains in this<br />
style category. Regardless,<br />
many furniture manufacturers<br />
from low-to-higher-end<br />
reflect this look in their new<br />
introductions.<br />
Another trend that continues<br />
strongly from recent<br />
years is the movement away<br />
from traditional and toward<br />
more contemporary and<br />
modern design, including<br />
mid-century modern. This<br />
reflects many of our preferences<br />
for furniture styles other<br />
than those our parents had.<br />
Manufacturers have their<br />
fingers on this pulse. We saw<br />
many tasteful new contemporary<br />
collections. To name<br />
a few, Marge Carson debuted<br />
a gorgeous grouping called<br />
Lake Shore Drive. Precedent<br />
and Thayer Coggin continue<br />
to be prolific with classic<br />
contemporary and modern<br />
upholstery design.<br />
Finally, and probably most<br />
relevant for many North<br />
Shore residents, is furniture<br />
and interior design reflecting<br />
an eclectic blend of contemporary<br />
and cleaned-up classical<br />
traditional forms. Hickory<br />
Chair, Century, and a newer,<br />
trending line called Caracole<br />
have been driving forces in<br />
this direction. It is a curated<br />
blend of styles that is not easy<br />
to create at home, even by<br />
practiced professionals.<br />
These brief reflections<br />
hardly begin to convey the<br />
scope of the High Point Market<br />
or its wealth of interior<br />
design and home furnishing<br />
resources. It is both inspiring<br />
and awesome. And because it<br />
is open only to the trade, we<br />
consider it our professional<br />
responsibility and pleasure<br />
to bring this world back to<br />
you. We at John Plunkett<br />
Interiors know you want a<br />
room and a home that is both<br />
comfortable and attractive.<br />
We have been attending the<br />
Market twice yearly for the<br />
last 40-plus years, and shopping<br />
it extensively on behalf<br />
of our client’s preferences<br />
and needs. So when you are<br />
looking for that perfect piece<br />
or want to create an award<br />
winning room, we can offer<br />
you the nicest of options.<br />

Winnetka Community House to feature Kohl Children’s Museum<br />
This November, Winnetka<br />
Community House welcomes<br />
the Kohl Children’s<br />
Museum’s interactive traveling<br />
exhibit, Chagall for Children.<br />
With 14 multi-sensory<br />
stations, each incorporating<br />
a high-quality reproduction<br />
of Chagall’s most famous<br />
works, the exhibit offers<br />
hands-on exploration of one<br />
of the most beloved artists of<br />
the twentieth century, Marc<br />
Chagall.<br />
“We are extremely excited<br />
to bring such an important<br />
exhibit to the North Shore,”<br />
said Alana Flatley, Winnetka<br />
Community House’s Director<br />
of Institutional Advancement.<br />
“We are honored that<br />
Kohl Children’s Museum<br />
chose Winnetka Community<br />
House to host this worldclass<br />
display of Chagall’s<br />
most recognizable works.”<br />
The series of hands-on<br />
activities encourages visiting<br />
children, ages 2-12, and<br />
their families, to explore and<br />
work with specific art principles<br />
such as color, composition,<br />
light and texture.<br />
The Winnetka Community<br />
House will feature the<br />
Kohl Children’s Museum’s<br />
interactive traveling exhibit,<br />
Chagall for Children, this<br />
winter.<br />
All proceeds from the<br />

Community House.<br />
Photos submitted<br />
Many stations are accompanied<br />

which the interactive experience<br />
is based.<br />
Chagall for Children<br />
opens on Tuesday, Nov. 24,<br />
and continues through Friday,<br />
Dec. 31. Hours are from<br />
9 a.m.-3 p.m. every day.<br />
School groups are invited to<br />
attend at no charge. There is<br />
a suggested donation of $10<br />
for families who wish to visit<br />
the exhibit.<br />
“I’ve seen the incredible<br />
success of this traveling exhibit<br />
and I have no doubt that<br />
our community will embrace<br />
it as well,” Flatley said. “We<br />
can hardly wait to open our<br />
doors and share the wonderful<br />
gift of Chagall this holiday<br />
season. The collaboration<br />
with Kohl Children’s<br />
Museum has meant a great<br />
deal to us, and we are very<br />
grateful for their willingness<br />
to share the exhibit with the<br />
Community House.”<br />
To celebrate this wonderful<br />
achievement for Winnetka<br />

Northfield’s Hofherr Meat Co. is more<br />
than your average butcher shop<br />
Let Hofherr be your holiday meat headquarters.<br />
They feature among other things:<br />
• Fresh never frozen turkey from<br />
Ferndale Farms<br />
• Turduckens<br />
• Prime standing rib roasts<br />
• Trimmed and tied beef tenderloins<br />
• Made to order charcuterie trays<br />
Established in March of 2014,<br />
Hofherr Meat Co. takes pride in<br />
sourcing meats traceable to the family<br />
farms where the animals were<br />
raised. To help our customers turn<br />
our fine meats into complete meals,<br />
Hofherr, located at 300 Happ Road,<br />
Northfield, sells a variety of homemade<br />
soups, delicious sides, and<br />
carefully selected sauces. They<br />
choose their recipes based on the<br />
freshest ingredients available each<br />
day, so that every batch of our prepared<br />
products is sure to satisfy. In<br />
addition, Hofherr offers traditional<br />
deli counter services, a rotating daily<br />
menu of soups and sandwiches, a<br />
floor-to-ceiling rotisserie oven, and a<br />
wide array of catering options.<br />
Though they approach our craft<br />
with the utmost seriousness, Hofherr<br />
works tirelessly to provide our customers<br />
with a bright, comfortable,<br />
and inviting shopping atmosphere.<br />
Let them prove to you why they<br />
should be your trusted alternative to<br />
a corporate grocery chain’s meat department.<br />
Hofherr is dedicated to buying and<br />
selling meats that are directly traceable<br />
to the production source. Why<br />
is that important for the consumer?<br />

stores use pre-processed meats from<br />
industrialized factories. It’s hard<br />
to get a straight answer whether or<br />
not their suppliers used hormones,<br />
steroids, antibiotics, or other exotic<br />
methods in the course of raising the<br />
animals. Frankly, it’s hard to know<br />
what exactly is in the meat you buy<br />
from most outlets.<br />
Hofherr provides a wide range<br />
of off-site food options designed to<br />
exceed your expectations. They’ve<br />
done it all, from catering private<br />
events, to whole pig backyard roasts,<br />
to buffets for business meetings.<br />
Next time there’s a big game, allow<br />
them to wow your friends and family<br />
with one of our game day or tailgate<br />
spreads.<br />
Because each event has its own<br />
particular needs, Hofherr doesn’t<br />
believe in a generic catering menu.<br />
Rather, they would prefer a thorough<br />
consultation. Hofherr will consider<br />
your tastes, event type, location, and<br />
budget, then our dedicated staff will<br />
execute a custom plan to satisfy your<br />
needs down to the very last detail.<br />

Plaza del Lago features diverse<br />
mix of leading retailers<br />
Plaza del Lago, located at 1515 N.<br />
Sheridan Road in Wilmette, is one of<br />
the North Shore’s most unique and<br />

Michigan.”<br />
Moss said that over the past several<br />
years, Plaza has transformed to<br />
offering customers the ability to run<br />
errands, purchase important items<br />
and enjoy entertainment and dining<br />
all right on the lakefront. Visitors<br />

Londo Mondo<br />
is a one-stop-shop<br />
in Winnetka<br />
In February of 2015, Londo Mondo<br />
made its maiden voyage to the suburbs and<br />
opened our doors in Winnetka. The concept<br />
of this store is much like her downtown<br />
sister, who has been opened for 27 years.<br />
There is an eclectic yet fluid mix of contemporary<br />
women’s clothing, handmade<br />
jewelry, shoes and accessories, as well as<br />
swim and resort-wear carried year-round.<br />
Due to Londo Mondo’s success in the<br />
North Shore, the business is expanding in<br />
to the space next door to add more athletic<br />
clothing (athleisure) that can also be worn<br />
throughout the day.<br />
Londo Mondo can be truly described as<br />
a one-stop-shop; one shopping experience<br />
can take you from the gym, to lunch to date<br />
night. Londo also boasts superior product<br />
knowledge and fantastic customer service<br />
by staffing employees who take time to get<br />
to know customer’s individual needs.<br />
Whether your sunshine bound, headed to<br />
exercise class, lunching with the ladies, or<br />
out for a date night, Londo Mondo has you<br />
covered.<br />

La Relance Salon covers all of your hair needs<br />
Amanda Iqbal, co-owner<br />
of La Relance Salon in<br />
Glencoe, said, “In the beauty<br />
industry, it’s not about the<br />
glitz of the salon, it’s about<br />
the work the staff produces<br />
in it.”<br />
This year, Iqbal celebrates<br />
32 years in the industry. She<br />
and her husband, Matty, celebrate<br />
their fifth year in the<br />
661 Vernon location and 17<br />
years in Glencoe.<br />
“I can only hope to lead<br />
my staff to enjoy their career<br />
as much as I have<br />
mine,” Iqbal said.<br />
She chose a small boutique<br />
setting to encourage<br />
her theory that in a large<br />
salon, maybe 10 of the 30<br />
stylists are worthy of a client’s<br />
trust. In a small setting<br />
of seven stylists, all will be<br />
capable of working with<br />
your hair because no one<br />
gets lost in the salons education<br />
program.<br />
“We do “one-on-one”<br />
hands-on training. With myself<br />
and Michael, the staff<br />
can’t help but move forward<br />
in their career,” Iqbal said.<br />
Michael Apodaca is a<br />
master stylist and colorist<br />
at the salon and is the director<br />
of education. When<br />
asked about color trends he<br />
stressed, ”Trends come and<br />
go, but it looks like gradient<br />
hair is here to stay. Over<br />
the past few seasons, we’ve<br />
transistioned from foil highlights<br />
and solid all-over<br />
colour to softer and more<br />
natural looking colour. Today,<br />
the look is sun-kissed,<br />
grown out and slightly unkempt.<br />
The slow-fade styles<br />
add depth, dimension and<br />
you don’t have to be visiting<br />
the salon every few<br />
weeks for a touch-up.”<br />
Despite the styles popularity,<br />
clients are still tripping<br />
over the names. Ombré?<br />
Sombré? Balayage?<br />
Babylights? What’s the<br />
difference? Tori Cohen, La<br />
Relance’s advanced level 3<br />
stylist explained, “They’re<br />
all highlighting techniques,<br />
but each create subtle differences.<br />
With traditional<br />
foils, the highlights are uniform<br />
and defined. Balayage,<br />
taken from the French<br />
word meaning “to sweep,”<br />
is a freehand technique in<br />
which specific woven hair<br />
is sectioned and hand painted<br />
with a lightening agent.<br />
After painting, each swatch<br />
is covered in cellophane.<br />
Balayage highlights are less<br />
systematically placed, you<br />
“I can only hope to lead my staff<br />
to enjoy their career as much as I<br />
have mine.”<br />
Amanda Iqbal, co-owner of La Relance Salon in<br />
Glencoe.<br />
end up with less symmetrical,<br />
more random highlights,<br />
resulting in a more<br />
casual, beachy finish.”<br />
Raquel Devience, an advanced<br />
level two stylist.<br />
said, “Unlike ombré, which<br />
worked best for brunettes<br />
in the past, balayage works<br />
for everyone. You can<br />
balayage a short pixie crop,<br />
but for best results, we<br />
work it on hair that sits below<br />
the shoulders. Balayage<br />
is a great option if you<br />
like the look of highlights<br />
with more contrast and less<br />
blonde.”<br />
“Ombré can be a stark<br />
dark-to-light fade,” said<br />
Ashley Ilg, an advanced<br />
stylist, “Making sombré<br />
a much more subtle take<br />
on the dip-dye trend. With<br />
sombré, the lighter sections<br />
start up a bit higher and the<br />
lower lengths have ribbons<br />
of dark colour for a more<br />
gradual transition. The<br />
worn-in look is a perfect<br />
choice for low-maintenance<br />
color. There is no need for<br />
constant touch-ups due to<br />
there being no clear demarcation<br />
line or regrowth<br />
– making it an economical<br />
option, too.”<br />
La Relance offers the<br />
iconic smoothing and repairing<br />
brand recognized<br />
by it’s name, Brazilian<br />
Blowout. It is the most imitated<br />
smoothing brand on<br />
the market, so be aware of<br />
the imitators. If you book<br />
an appointment anywhere<br />
other than La Relance Salon<br />
there are a few things<br />
to consider ensuring you’re<br />
receiving the one and only<br />
original Brazilian Blowout.<br />
Only certified stylists<br />
should perform the professional<br />
smoothing treatment.<br />
Ask for this certification<br />
and to see the original product<br />
in its iconic bronze bottle<br />
clearly marked with the<br />
Brazilian Blowout logo.<br />
La Relance Salon requires<br />
all of their stylists to<br />
be certified in order to perform<br />
the Brazilian Blowout<br />
Smoothing and Repairing<br />
Treatments properly and<br />
to manufacturers requirements.<br />
The Brazilian Blowout<br />
professional Split End and<br />
Damaged Hair Corrector is<br />
a therapeutic and preventative<br />
treatment and cutting<br />
lotion all in one. Utilizing<br />
a proprietary Thermo-Marine<br />
Bonding System, this<br />
treatment fills in and binds<br />
broken hair fibers together,<br />
instantly mending split<br />
ends and compromised<br />
hair while a Brazilian Super<br />
Nutrient Complex prevents<br />
future breakage by<br />
surrounding each strand<br />
with a protective coating,<br />
defending against daily<br />
styling and environmental<br />
stressors.<br />
“It’s the only in-salon<br />
service that instantly mends<br />
and prevents split ends<br />
while also preventing future<br />
splits to occur,” said<br />
Jamie Kaley, salon stylist.<br />
“It lasts up to four weeks. It<br />
is perfect for prolonging the<br />
shape of your precision cut.<br />
The end result is instantly<br />
repaired, stronger, healthier<br />
ends protected against future<br />
breakage.”<br />
Iqbal is thankful for the<br />
clients that have supported<br />
her through her career.<br />
“My clients have seen<br />
me through many changes<br />
over the years and they<br />
have chosen to support my<br />
talents and my dreams. You<br />
can’t even imagine how that<br />
feels. The service industry<br />
is tough, and I listen to people<br />
all day judging other local<br />
businesses. You have to<br />
learn that it is not about you,<br />
but that it is all about your<br />
staff, the community, and<br />
your service,” Iqbal said. “I<br />
grow, get involved, educate,<br />
and keep the passion. Mostly,<br />
I have created a space<br />
that I would go to as a client,<br />
the “Cheers” of salons.<br />
You will get a hello from all<br />
of us when you walk in the<br />
door.”<br />

Five Seasons Family Sports Club focuses on greater health<br />
Since its inception 15 years ago,<br />
Five Seasons Family Sports Club<br />
in Northbrook has evolved— and<br />
that is reflected in something as<br />
fundamental as its name.<br />
Named Five Seasons Country<br />
Club when it first opened, the club,<br />
located at 1300 Techny Road, later<br />
replaced “Country” with “Sports”<br />
while investing in an overhaul of<br />
the facility toward a greater health<br />
and wellness focus.<br />
That transformation in 2007 included<br />
an extensive investment in<br />
the club’s fitness area, and a renewed<br />
emphasis on growing one of<br />
the region’s strongest junior tennis<br />
programs. Shortly thereafter, the<br />
club added “Family” to its name in<br />
reference to Five Seasons’ passion<br />
for serving people in all phases of<br />
life.<br />
And now, with a new one-rate<br />
membership format, the club is applying<br />
an exclamation point to its<br />
long-term commitment to the community<br />
this holiday season.<br />
At the “new” Five Seasons, you<br />
can join for as low as $99 for an<br />
individual and a family will save<br />
more than $1,500 annually compared<br />
with the club’s prior rate<br />
structure. In some cases, members<br />
will be able to upgrade to a family<br />
membership for less than the cost<br />
of what has been the couple rate.<br />
“It has been a wonderful first 15<br />
years, and we look forward to our<br />
next 15 in the community,” said<br />
Lina Lubbat, chief club officer.<br />
Among other initiatives, the club<br />
is investing $150,000 into new fitness<br />
equipment. Also, with the new<br />
one-rate membership, members<br />
will enjoy full access to the club’s<br />
premier tennis program.<br />
Five Seasons has helped produce<br />
a steady stream of high school<br />
state tennis champions, nationally<br />
ranked players and athletes who<br />
have gone on to play collegiate<br />
tennis. Nearly three years ago, it<br />
became one of the only USTA Certified<br />
Regional Training Centers in<br />
the Midwest.<br />
And its offerings in that arena go<br />
well beyond junior instruction and<br />
development.<br />
“Tennis is a fantastic way to<br />
get and stay in shape, meet new<br />
people, spend time with family<br />
and friends, or get those competitive<br />
juices flowing,” said Thomas<br />
Deere, Five Seasons chief operating<br />
officer. “This lifetime sport is<br />
for everyone and our new membership<br />
program provides more opportunity<br />
for members than ever<br />
before.”<br />
Five Seasons Family Sports<br />
Club is the premier year-round<br />
high-energy, high-touch sports<br />
club focused on family leisure and<br />
entertainment, improving sports<br />
performance and maintaining overall<br />
health.<br />
