Jill Hamada   Trixie Bakes http://www.trixiebakes.com/  Her motto: The sweetest path to Temptation - Flavor - flavor - flavor (that's the baker's version of location - location - location ). You know how there's a dark chocolate revolution going on? Well she brought to brownies what other people were bringing to chocolate bars - sophisticated deep dark chocolate taste and ended up with a cross between a brownie and a flourless chocolate cake. She doesnt stop at just brownies. Blondies deserved their rightful place at the table too, and she created the richest chewiest version she could think of.

Local Designer     Farinaz Tahavi   http://farinaz.com/ She says "Shirts are the detail and women are the design.  French women can wear clothes that fit close to their bodies, their sleeves could be flying in the air, collar up, scarf around the neck-it all looks great, they can pull something out of their closet after 20 years and wear it like they just bought it. They can keep the sleeves open, pull them up, put their collar down or style it differently throughout their day. I want women to make their own statements-my shirt is meant to support them not dominate them."
