what type of designer you would be in the fashion world, where women hold a lot of power? Take our fashionista quiz to find out. (P.S., I got Tory Burch!)
I truly love this issue, and I hope you all enjoy it just as much as I have enjoyed putting it together. This issue is full of inspiration, which is a big thing to me. Inspiration drives you, and what inspires you is part of who you are. Over this last year, I have been truly inspired by the people around me, especially my wonderful grandparents, who are three of my biggest supporters. Mema, Papa and Mimi – thank you for your strength, thank you for your encouragement, thank you for being you! I love you.
BE INSPIRED.
Well, well, well – we made it to March! Doesn’t it feel a little good to say that? You know that means the warmer weather has to be on the way (fingers crossed)! March has always been one of my favorite months. Maybe because it’s my birthday month, or because everything is sheepishly starting to wake up from winter, or because spring fashion is to die for. Speaking of which, welcome to our popular spring fashion issue! I live for the season’s corals, bright yellows, fun patterns and shades of blue. This month’s spread sums up everything I love about fashion. It’s bright, bold and expressive. Our two gorgeous models, Brittany and Cortney, shined bright in fashions from the beloved Balliets, R Meyers, and Anabelle’s.
Spring doesn’t revolve solely around fashion. We also get to bring out the springtime dishes from behind the heavy winter soups (which we still love, don’t get us wrong). This month we had delectable dishes from Park House, located in the Myriad Gardens. I highly recommend it for the tasty food, amazing atmosphere and gorgeous view.
Okay, back to fashion: have you ever wondered Lauren Wright

The annual Redbud Classic will take place April 11 and 12. Having donated more than half a million
dollars to local nonprofits in the past 33 years, Redbud Classic has impacted our local community for the
better while providing Oklahoma City with a premier family fitness event that grows each year.
The Redbud Classic is truly an Oklahoma City tradition, offering the longest-running 5k and 10k events
in the city. Redbud focuses on providing a quality event for the participant, ensuring a great experience
for each runner, walker and cyclist.
The partnerships the Redbud Classic creates with local nonprofits makes it unique. Annually, agencies
apply to the Redbud Classic as potential beneficiaries. The Redbud Classic Board of Directors reviews
the applications and selects a beneficiary. The selected agency then partners with Redbud throughout
the year by providing volunteers, who help make the Redbud Classic a success. All proceeds stay in
Oklahoma City.
The 2015 beneficiary of the Redbud Classic is the Boys and Girls Club of Oklahoma County. Its mission
is to enable and inspire all youths, especially those who need help the most, to reach their full potential
as responsible, caring and productive citizens. Begun in 1995 in a small community center building in
Memorial Park, 3535 N. Western, the organization now annually serves over 3,000 youths, ages 6 to
18. The Boys and Girls Club helps kids through character and leadership programs, art and technology,
academic assistance, sports and nutrition, and positive adult relationships.
The 2015 Redbud Classic events are the 5k and 10k runs, the 5k wheelchair event, the two-mile walk
and baby stroller derby, and the popular one-mile kids’ fun run. Redbud is also continuing the tradition of
cycling events with 10-, 33- and 50-mile bike tours. The cycling events and the kids’ fun run will be held
Saturday, April 11, while the running and walking events are scheduled for Sunday, April 12.
Don't miss out on #FunAtTheFinish at the very first official race after-party, the Redbud Bash. The Bash
will be held at the finish area in Nichols Hills Plaza immediately following the start of the 5k and 10k runs
on Sunday, April 12. There will be a variety of food from Oklahoma’s premier food trucks, beverages from
COOP Ale Works and other sponsors, free games and activities, as well as live entertainment. Whether
you are participating in the run, cheering someone on or just want to enjoy a family-friendly outing, the
Bash will have something in store for you!
Registration for the weekend events is easy. Participants may register online at redbud.org, in person
at the registration office in Nichols Hills Plaza opening April 6, or by downloading a registration form and
mailing it in.
For complete event details, including start times, course maps and registration information, visit

WHAT KIND OF FASHIONISTA
ARE YOU?
You’re the boss, and quite simply, you rule the fashion world. You may be a tad old-fashioned – maybe you don’t like drinking, you wake up at 5 a.m. every morning, and you’ve kept your hair the same way for decades – but hey, that’s how people identify you! You sit front row at every fashion show and you won’t work with just anyone. You demand the best of the best, both in your work and your personal life. New York City is your haven! You take your coffee black with a side of custom Manolo Blahnik heels. You’re it, you’re iconic, you’ve made it!
Anna WintourEditor-in-Chief of Vogue/Artistic Director of Condé Nast
You’re making a big impact and quickly. You’ve
come from nothing and made it into the millions –
over $100 million to be exact. Nasty Gal started
out as a side hobby on eBay and is now one of the
largest e-commerce sites in the world. You were
quickly named one of the fastest growing retailers
in the country. Girl Power: you’re all about it! You
wrote a bestselling book, “#GIRLBOSS.” College isn’t
your thing, and that’s okay. You’re edgy, you’re retro,
you’re making a name for yourself.

You’re powerful and classic. You love traveling
the world to find inspiration. You’ve created a
staple product with a well-known logo that can be
found in many women’s closets. You live a private
life and you’re totally OK with that. You may not be
in the gossip spotlight, but you’re nothing short of
powerful. Your self-made billion-dollar clothing line
originated in a kitchen. Forbes recognized you as the
79th most powerful woman of 2014. You’re powerful,
you’re classic, you’re luxurious.
Tory BurchCEO & Designer of Tory Burch
You love the spotlight and everything glamorous. Socialization is part of who you are. You’re a jack of all trades. From fashion to modeling to speaking to acting, you do a little bit of everything. Family is everything to you; you don’t go anywhere without them. People may have the wrong perception about you, but once they get to know you they understand who you really are. Being judged hasn’t stopped you from trying to rule the world. You’re extremely busy! You’re fierce, you’re glamorous, you’re you.

PUPPY OFTHE MONTH
Siberian Husky
Originating in Siberia, these dogs have
appealing blue or multicolored eyes. They are
extremely athletic, intelligent and independent,
which can come as a challenge for first-time dog
owners. Huskies are sweet and affectionate with
almost everyone, but they generally do not need
to constantly pester their owners for attention.

Two things to take note of upon walking into the Park House: the stunning atmosphere and the delicious smells of the kitchen, which runs full speed ahead. Park House sits on the Myriad Botanical Gardens grounds, so it boasts spectacular views of the Crystal Bridge and adjacent grounds. Its floor-to-ceiling windows give you a 180-degree view of the world outside. Now to the food, because that’s mostly why you’re here, right? It’s not every day that a restaurant or a dish leaves you at a loss for the perfect
adjective. Delicious? Sure. Heavenly? Nothing short of it. Beautiful? Of course – the presentation was artful. All around, it was exquisite. We were met by the talented and inviting chef, Jonathan Krell. He started out as an audio engineer but found his way into cooking, and before long he knew it was the path and passion he was supposed to follow. Chef Krell changes the menu four times per year to make it as seasonal as possible. Luckily for him, he is able to implement a farm-to-table style of cooking during the spring and summer, as the Myriad Gardens plants many different ingredients for him to use in the dishes. Chef Krell graciously brought out many of his handcrafted dishes for us to try. It felt like the entire kitchen was being delivered out to us, and hey, we’re not complaining! Just about every single taste was followed by a “Wow,” “Oh my goodness,” or “Oh, yum!” Park House most definitely took us on a trip to Flavor Town. Each dish was plated to perfection, and the food was so good that I would order each item a hundred times over. I enjoyed everything about our experience at the Park House from beginning to end. Be sure to stop in for lunch or dinner, or brunch on the weekends!
What We Tasted:Cheddar CracklingHouse-made cheddar pork rindsThese were perfectly crunchy with a surprise of cheddar deliciousness!

THE COACH HOUSE6437 Avondale Drive
Nichols Hills, OK 73116405.842.1000 • thecoachhouseokc.com
Happy 30th to the Coach House! For the last 30
years, this fine dining restaurant has been one of
our great state’s staples. With world-renowned chef
Kurt Fleischfresser heading the kitchen, each dish is
carefully and uniquely crafted. They pride themselves
on using local ingredients whenever possible.
You can’t go wrong with any dish crafted by Chef
Fleischfresser, but we highly recommend the pecan
cornbread crusted salmon with tomato butter. The
Coach House has a distinct warm feel. For private
parties, there is a special private dining space that
seats up to 20 guests. This restaurant and its award-
winning dishes have had such an impact, both on the
public and on numerous chefs around the city.
MAMA E’S WINGS & WAFFLES3838 Springlake Drive
Oklahoma City, OK 73111405.424.0800
This place is soul food to the core. This local eatery
is popular on Food Network, having appeared on
the popular “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” as well as
“Restaurant: Impossible.” After a little help from world-
renowned Chef Robert Irvine, MaMa E’s made drastic
changes and successfully saved their business.
The staff is known for being warm and welcoming
in that Oklahoman way we all know and love. Their
most popular menu item is the comfort combo of
chicken and waffles. They also serve options like
baked chicken, macaroni and cheese, collard greens,
homemade cakes and corn bread. Try it all, you won’t
be disappointed!
THE SAUCEE SICILIANFood Truck
405.412.0789 • thesauceesicilian.com
Lena Costanzo was born in Sicily and came to America in 1912, where she eventually passed on her love of cooking and her authentic recipes to her daughter and granddaughter. Today these two great women share those beloved recipes with the public on their truck, the Saucee Sicilian. This traditional-style Sicilian food is out of this world! The Saucee Sicilian is quickly becoming a favorite in the Oklahoma food truck community. You can find it all over town, in various business parking lots and at places like H&8th in the warm summer months. These lovely ladies are cooking up delicious homemade crusts with toppings of the finest mozzarella, hot capicola and soprassata, Italian sausage, mushrooms, chili oil and more. Get a taste of authentic Italy right here in your own backyard!
THE COW CALF-HAY3409 Wynn Drive
Edmond, OK 73013405.509.2333 • thecowcalfhay.net
The popular and delicious City Bites chain has a baby brother, and that is the Cow Calf-Hay in Edmond. The atmosphere inside will remind you of a City Bites with its quirky decorations and fun flair. Though it opened just a handful of years ago, this burger joint has quickly become a local favorite. They’re serving down-home good ol’ Oklahoma eatin’, like to-die-for onion rings and juicy, wacky burgers made entirely of certified Black Angus. We recommend the Mad Cow burger, topped with tender diced grilled chicken, American cheese, pepper jack cheese, grilled Idaho potatoes, smoked bacon and homemade spicy ranch. Okay, we’re drooling. It’s technically just a lunch spot, except on Fridays, when they stay open till 8 p.m. Be sure to give this new classic a try!

situation through which an emotional bond and a close attachment may develop. There may be a karmic connection with this individual.
CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)There will be an additional flow of physical and mental energy during the next few weeks especially in work matters and you want to get things done. Be aware of this tendency, so that you can exercise caution and yet accomplish much by carefully directing this energetic activity toward the handling of difficult tasks. Find a constructive outlet. Finances improve between the 2nd and the 6th but don't spend money you don't have yet.
LEO (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22)Avoid possible disputes or misunderstandings with relatives especially on matters of religion or politics. It may be unwise to travel or consider the purchase of a car due to the adverse influence of Mars some. Relationships could hit a snag between the 10th and the 15th but will only be made worse if you don't give your partner space to work their own personal problems out. In general terms, you should also ignore idle gossip, confide in no one, and be your own counsel.
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22) Faulty judgment can place you under heavy burdens or obligations, so it is best to sign nothing of importance during this cycle. Unfortunately you may have to go head-to-head with someone over financial
ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19) Peculiar events or circumstances may be experienced in connection with your career. Misunderstandings and confusion can create chaotic conditions with contracts, merchandise, and sales or purchases particularly after the 4th. Some of these events may be of deliberate intent to deceive you, while others are likely to occur through lack of communication. After the 20th escape with a lover to your own private hideaway for a few days.
TAURUS (APRIL 20 - MAY 20)You are passionate this month with Venus and Mars giving you the chance fulfill your intimate and sexual needs. Communications with friends provides you intellectual satisfaction. After the 17th you'll be busy with several events or social activities. You are currently somewhat inflexible on professional matters and this could cause problems for you with an employer. You need creative freedom now.
GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)This is an active time for social invitations -- attending engagement parties, weddings, and other functions and the journey is also on the cards during this phase especially in the last week of March. If single, this placement can provide the opportunity for an engagement and possibly marriage. But, married or not, someone will enter your life and create a

matters between the 18th and 20th but if you're diplomatic you can sidestep aggressive situations. Take some more time to plan your finances. A loved one can be emotionally manipulative especially during the last few days of the month.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 22)Events over the next few weeks are likely to bring some important changes in your most personal relationships. Women are apt to play an active role in personal affairs and even in your professional life, or new acquaintances may enter the scene. Between the 10th and 15th may decide to alter conditions of your living quarters, consider new occupational offers, or make travel plans for the near future.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 21)Affairs connected with finances or business matters will be rather discouraging due to the continued presence of Saturn in your finance sector and this will be highlighted after the 10th with manipulative people dominating any contractual negotiations. You are likely to worry or lose sleep over delays in personal affairs around the 19th. This is not the best time to ask favors of bosses or for beginning new projects even if Jupiter is strong in your career zone.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 21)Expect the unforeseen; unusual conditions and surprising experiences to occur in your relationships
now. All kinds of advantages and disadvantages may produce sudden and unforeseen changes in personal and domestic affairs especially between the 22nd and 25th. Compelling conditions may form sudden and sometimes unconventional attachments -- not the conventional relationship that one would normally expect.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19)This is a period of time in which you should assess present progress and ponder on sowing the seeds for future growth and development especially in your domestic circle. Consider the consequences of any new ventures or undertakings and business partnerships should be scrutinized with a fine-tooth comb especially around the 15th when the Moon conjoins Pluto. Can you handle supplementary projects? Can you fit them into your busy agenda without unwarranted stress on your wellbeing? Rethink your strategy this month.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 18)You are in a positive state of mind, filled with optimism and a hopeful outlook. You have the drive and inspirational attitude to draw admiration from others and increase your chances for social contacts, business advancement, or a new romance between the 10th and the 14th. Take advantage of relationship opportunities around the 17th when you are likely to be attractive and seductive!
PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 20) This is not the time to confide in co-workers, who may in turn alter the information and use it to their advantage. This is likely between the 1st and the 4th and then again the 11th and 12th. You may work with individuals who are experiencing difficulties with their personal life, health, or mental state and your input may actually help them solve some problem this month. Don't be too emotional in your love affairs as this could cause complications for you.

KYLE HAYLESVisual Merchandise Manager - Ruth Meyers
Meet Kyle! His passion for fashion started at an early age, as early as elementary school.
Kyle was always fashion forward, choosing his own style. Eventually Kyle got his career started
at the Coach store in Penn Square Mall, where he was later promoted to visual merchandise
manager. This is where his true love for merchandise began. Upon new ownership of R
Meyers, Kyle made the switch over to Nichols Hills Plaza to work beside new owner Cindi
Shelby. Kyle explains that fashion is like an opinion: it’s an expression of one’s self. He loves
that he is able to help women convey their own message, and it helps that he is such a people
person. He has proudly been with R Meyers for five years now. He has gotten to know the
store’s loyal following, and he has built up his own clientele as well.
His advice for fashion? Fit is everything. It’s truly what makes or breaks an outfit or look. “It
can determine what makes you feel comfortable in an outfit,” says Kyle. He recommends that
you become best friends with a local tailor or seamstress. We asked Kyle what he thinks is
the staple piece everyone should have in their closet. His answer: accessories. In his opinion,
they determine an outfit. You can change accessories to take the look of a simple dress from
daytime business to evening cocktail. Statement accessories are a must, ladies!
Many don’t know that R Meyers is now going into its sixth year under new (and wonderful)
ownership. Since it was established over 30 years ago, many people aren’t aware of all of the
new brands, looks and accessories they carry. R Meyers has something for every age, including
pieces that an 18-year-old and a 60-year-old could both look great in. Their merchandise is
timeless across age demographics.
Kyle is busy, busy, busy! He works full-time for R Meyers while finishing up his bachelor’s
degree in marketing and business. Eventually he plans to have a store of his own. When he’s
not at work, you can find Kyle outside or spending time with his four (yes, four) adorable dogs!
Give him summertime and a rooftop patio with a cocktail and he is set.
Fun fact about Kyle: he has an extensive handbag collection. His most recent acquisition is
a vintage Gucci suitcase, but his favorite is his navy crossbody Longchamp. He tends to wear
more navy than black, as it’s the perfect four-season neutral.
Be sure to stop in R Meyers and say hello to Kyle. Let him help you with your fashion needs!
