Philadelphia, PA. November 2011 – Nomad’s last open house was so much fun that they decided to have another one on Sunday, December 18th, from 4-7pm. This time, owners Tami Seymour and Elie-Anne Chevrier are super excited to announce that John Scioli, owner & proprietor of John’s Old School New Skool Barber Shop, will be bringing his shop to Nomad to offer haircuts and straight razor hot towel face shaves! Yes, pop in, sit in the chair for a shave & haircut and do some cool Yule holiday shopping from tons of new vintage in stock. Guests can do it all while listening to music, enjoying hot waffles and eating ice cream from Zsa’s Gourmet Ice Cream Truck!

Nomad is a hip new pop-up shop featuring the best modern, vintage and mid-century finds alongside original works and fresh designs from local jewelers and artisans. All of Nomad’s wares come from local independent designers and collectors, making it the perfect destination for the most thoughtful gift givers this Holiday Season.

Nomad is the collaboration of Tami Seymour and Elie-Anne Chevrier. Both have a combined passion for skillful design & craftsmanship, elegant simplicity and the art of reuse. Elie-Anne, formerly of the Museum world and currently owner of Modern, Vintage, Mid-Century, is a collector, mid-century connoisseur and all-around amazing treasure hunter. Tami is a designer turned stylist and photographer as well as the writer and photographer behind the popular blogs: helloseemore and Middle Diner. She has a never-ending obsession for creating and absorbing beautiful design in all its forms.

Featured Philadelphia Jewelry Designer J. Rudy Lewis is creating new work this season that is catching the eyes and being acquired by top stylists, celebrities and even Royalty. His “Victoria” cuff seems destined to appear on Charlotte Bronte’s arm – that is if Bronte was on her way to CBGB’s. His “Free Forms” collection explores the concept of art as jewelry throughout time -“pieces of jewelry have been found in ancient archaeological excavations all over the world.” Lewis is a student of the history of art, always observing and incorporating fragments of the past into his modern work. Like his “Five Journey’s” Cuff, hand forged and fabricated from sterling silver with 18k yellow gold detail set with natural rough rose cut diamonds, that looks to have just been found buried in the desert. With J. Rudy Lewis every piece tells a story.

Nomad also features these exciting local Designers, Collectors and Vintage Dealers:

Stable Tables – Hand-made farm tables and benches made from reclaimed wood from old barns and buildings.

Helix and Hive and The Necessary May Speak –Art and science come together with Multi-media artist Kristin Swoszowski-Tran’s collection of stylish glass and ceramic terrariums, handmade candles, bath products and accessories, such as; belt buckles, pendants, and rings.

Mockingbird Moon – Kim Grant’s tabletop gardens, collages of found objects and photographs bring the exterior world indoors and feature natural imagery inspired by her rural environs.

P.F. Wilfong & Co. – Furnishings, Goods and Findings.

Cotillion – Fantastic treasures, antiques, art, designer accessories, clothes and more.

MVM – Modern, Vintage, Mid-Century Elie-Anne, showcases elegant furnishing for the discerning collector.

Wing & Wood – Custom Furniture and Woodworking with a sustainable future in mind.

A portion of sales at Nomad will be donated to the James Turrell project: Chestnut Hill Friends are building the first new meetinghouse in Philadelphia in 80 years as a spiritual home for their members and as an inviting place for visitors. Incorporating a Skyspace by world-renowned light artist James Turrell, which will be open regularly to the public, this environmentally-friendly 21st Century building and surrounding gardens and woods will not only accommodate the vibrant local Quaker community, but also offer people of all faiths a place to gather for quiet reflection, fellowship, education, and social action. www.chfmnewmeetinghouse.org

Nomad is a pop-up shop located in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia dedicated to showcasing the best collections of modern, vintage and mid-century furnishings, accessories & jewelry by local independent designers and collectors. Open daily November 25 – December 31st, 10am – 6pm, with the possibility of continuing in January. Follow Nomad’s journey on twitter and facebook for updates and events and visit www.hellonomad.com.

Start with soft, hydrated and glowing skin. The best way to accomplish this is with a sugar scrub.  Phoenix Rising, All Natural Skin Care, has a healing sugar scrub that is marinated in luxurious natural oils that leave your skin, oh, so touchable. www.phoenixrisingskincare.com

Jersey Girl’s love to be TAN! It doesn’t matter if it’s August or December, they want to be tan, and the darker the better. Maybe being tan in the middle of a blizzard is a good way to find them if their car slides into a snowbank? Girls want 2-3 layers of a spray tan and flourescent white teeth. Scott Barnes, the make-up artist for JLO, developed Body Bling, the world famous instant tan and shimmer in one.  This cream looks beautiful on every skin type and can even be used as a blush.  It’s also incredible at fixing and blending self-tanning mistakes.  The best part is that it washes right off when you have to go back to reality. www.scottbarnes.com

Whether you hail from Jersey, San Francisco or San Paulo, glowing white teeth are on everyone’s list.  Whiter Image’s Chic-Flic, is a rhinestone studded, teeth whitening pen and lip plumping gloss in a convenient dual-ended brush that fits perfectly into any clutch.  www.makeupwithme.com

Everyone loves the look of tousled, day at the Jersey shore hair, so Jersey’s own, celebrity hairstylist, Eric Alt, developed Bayside Ocean Spray, to give you Jersey shore hair without having to hit the beach.  The fresh ocean scent makes me feel like I really spent the day at the Jersey shore! www.ericaltsalon.com

Nothing gets your hair pumping like Big Sexy Hair’s, Root Pump Mousse.  If you plan a long night of fist pumping at the club, you can remain perfectly coiffed with a shot of Root Pump directly on the roots of wet hair before styling. www.sexyhair.com

If you really want to complete the Jersey look for the holiday, get some false lashes or lash extensions for a longer lasting effect.  Lora “The Lash Dr.,” is the preeminent Lash Extension specialist in the New York area, and her clients love giving the gift of Luscious Lashes to their nearest and dearest. www.thelashdr.com

Of course, the most important part of the Jersey look is confidence, so rock your glitter, shimmer and glow right through the middle of the holiday party. Fist-pumping optional… but a whole lot of fun!

– Exclusive Event Features Performances and Sing-alongs with the Broadway Dolls –

New York. December 7, 2011 — Guests of the swanky Champagne and Caroling Black Tie event will be sure to leave with a swing in their step and a song on their lips after enjoying a private concert December 20, at Winston’s Champagne Bar.

Financiers and art patrons David Cote and Adam Sansiveri of Bernstein Global Wealth Management are hosting a benefit for The Broadway Dreams Foundation featuring the acclaimed Broadway Dolls. In this intimate setting for only 75 guests, Broadway stars, celebrities, socialites, and fellow benefactors will enjoy champagne, delectables, exclusive original performances and the opportunity to sing along with the best female singers of the Great White Way.

“What gets me excited about this intimate holiday event is that it is a return to the style and sophistication of old New York,” said Cote. “We can’t wait to have our guests enjoy their favorite holiday carols, sung by the biggest stars on Broadway. We are taking a page from the Gatsby era of elegance to provide a magical experience for our guests.”

Sansiveri, who has also produced Broadway shows, added, “This dynamic event brings together the official girl group of Broadway, The Broadway Dolls, with a cause near and dear to their hearts: supporting educational opportunities for young people to go after their dreams of gracing the Great White Way. The Broadway Dolls, all triple-threat actresses currently working on Broadway, know that making it as an actor requires intensive training, mentorship and support.”

It is sure to be a stylish scene with David Cote and Adam Sansiveri debuting the new custom Tuxedo line from Black Lapel and the Broadway Dolls styled by Engie Hassan of EngieStyle with the timeless new jewelry from The Travelers Collection.  Guests will enjoy the superior Champagne from Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte along with some memorable delectables from Winston’s and will be treated to the unforgettable desserts from Lady M Confections. Additional sponsors and partners already confirmed for this prestigious holiday event include: One Sky Jets, Accounting Management Solutions, Inc. (AMS), Christie’s Fine Art Storage Services, Marcy Clark of Yellow Sky Agency Public Relations and Engie Hassan of EngieStyle.

The Broadway Dolls are the undisputed official girl group of Broadway with five of the White Way’s most sought after triple-threats. With four full-length production shows and counting, the Dolls pull from a roster of the most fiercely talented women in the business. The Broadway Dolls hail directly from the Broadway companies of “Mamma Mia”, “Chicago”, “Spiderman: Turn off the Dark”, “Rock of Ages”, “Memphis”, “Jersey Boys”, “Million Dollar Quarter”, “Rent”, “Hairspray”, “Annie Get Your Gun”, “Legally Blonde”, “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”, “Grease”, “The Wedding Singer”, “A Chorus Line” , “Good Vibrations”, “Jekyll & Hyde”, “Spamalot”, “Wonderland”, and more.  No other entertainment company in the theatrical community boasts such an accomplished and diverse team of working actresses.  Recent television appearances include opening for the “World Champion Boxing Match” in Quebec (HBO), and headlining the “National Vocal Championship Finals” (ABC). www.thebroadwaydolls.com
