It’s difficult not to mention Roger’s Gardens every week during the
holidays. It’s perfect for finding the best in decorations, and with the
workshops and demonstrations offered, you can also learn how to recreate
some of the beauty of Roger’s Gardens at your home. At 9:15 a.m.
Saturday, there will be a workshop on how to create simple yet elegant
holiday decorations using items fresh from the garden. The natural
Christmas decor class will be taught by Eric Cortina and Cristin Fusano,
who team up with Roger’s silk floral designer, Tina Bushling. At 9:15
a.m. Sunday, there will be a tree-lighting demonstration. Mary Rose of
Barcan Trees will reveal professional tips for lighting Christmas trees
efficiently as well as beautifully. For gift and decor ideas, you might
want to check out the Steinbach Nutcrackers and the English Baskets
Gardens. Earlier this year, Roger’s Gardens buyers traveled to the heart
of Germany in search of the perfect holiday accents and gifts. They were
very impressed with the quality of the Steinbach Nutcrackers, which are
hand-carved and hand-painted by skilled artisans. The nutcracker
selection at Roger’s this year includes traditional styles of kings,
soldiers and Santas, as well as several modern designs. The English
Basket Gardens are Roger’s own creation of seasonal flowers, combined
with ferns and ivy. The addition of moss and a French bow make the
baskets a beautiful gift. Roger’s Gardens is at 2301 San Joaquin Hills
Road in Newport Beach. Call (949) 640-5800 for more information.
It’s no longer necessary to drive up to Beverly Hills for a “stylist to
the stars” hairstyle. With the arrival of the new Christophe Salon at
Fashion Island, it’s much easier to go to Christophe, whose clientele
reads like a who’s who of political and Hollywood names. Belgium-born
Christophe Schatteman opened his flagship Beverly Hills salon in 1985 and
has since opened two locations in Washington D.C. and St. Barts.
Christophe offers a full range of services, including haircuts, color
treatments, manicures, pedicures, facials and more. The salon boasts a
highly acclaimed team of internationally trained technicians,
cosmetologists and stylists. The salon also offers amenities including
deep oil massages, seaweed wraps and aromatherapy to make the overall
Christophe experience closer to that of a spa than a hair salon. “We are
delighted to have Christophe open one of his renowned salons at Fashion
Island,” said Rick Evans, president of Irvine Retail Properties Company,
owner of Fashion Island. “He has an international reputation for
excellence and will complement the other high quality retailers and
services at Fashion Island.”
