Welcome to Australia’s first renters community For decades the ‘great Australian dream’ of owning your own home has gone unchallenged. But the world is changing.

Owning a home is no longer a reality – or even a desire – for many Australians.

But with an imperfect rental system that doesn’t provide long-term security, what does the future hold for those who want to rent indefinitely? The Smith Collective may be the answer.

The Smith Collective is a new community made up entirely of rental apartments and townhouses located at the site of the former Commonwealth Games Village at Southport.

Australia’s first ‘build to rent’ community, the Smith Collective is designed for living, not just ‘staying’.

The build to rent model, which is popular in the United States and Europe, redefines the traditional rental process by forgoing individual landlords and allowing residents to secure long-term leases with the promise of many benefits of home ownership.

Property innovators JLL, along with Grocon and UBS Asset Management, are behind the introduction of build to rent in Australia and believe it, and the Smith Collective, will reinvent rental in this country.

UBS Asset Management Executive Director Michael Woodrow said, “Our vision is to create a thriving and blended community unlike anything the Gold Coast has seen. Research shows that while an increasing number of people want to live where they work, shop and play, they also yearn for the security of long-term leases and ability to add personal touches to their homes.

By maintaining ownership of Smith Collective’s residential offering, we are able to grant those wishes.”

Featuring 18 apartment towers and 82 two-storey townhouses (including 172 accessible homes) and a 6280sqm retail hub, the Smith Collective is one of the Gold Coast’s largest urban renewal projects and has already announced plans for new Woolworths and BWS stores that will form part of an ever-expanding boutique retail precinct.

10

With over seven hectares of parkland, Smith Collective also boasts a huge range of facilities including: • Landscaped gardens • Four gyms • Four swimming pools, • Community veggie and herb gardens • Off-leash dog park • Multiple community BBQs • Walking, running and cycling paths • Homebase community centre Plus much more.

Smith Collective is inviting everyone on the Gold Coast to view their new community and tour the 1 and 2 bedroom apartments and 3 bedroom townhouses for themselves at a series of fun, free community events in November and December. Choose from Friday Night Bites with food trucks, live entertainment and a pop-up bar, Family Fun Days filled with heaps of activities for the kids or even family movie nights. To find out more visit smithcollective.com.au/whats-on.

My name is:

I- live-here-too

Say farewell to waiting weeks for repairs and not knowing if you’ll be able to renew your lease. Ta-ta to never being able to hang your favourite pictures or paint your walls. And sayonara to sudden rent rises and not being able to own a pug (or two).

At Smith Collective you can enjoy a whole new way to rent. As Australia’s first renters only community we know that you want the same things homeowners do… just without the mortgage.

So say bye-bye to old style landlords, and hello to being a Smith.

1 & 2 bedroom apartments and 3 bedroom townhouses now renting.

Described by influential beauty blogger, BeautiCate Editor and Founder, Sigourney Cantelo as “the high priestess of the Australian Spa industry”, Marionne de Candia has applied her 30+ years of wisdom and expertise and now offers her own tailored treatments.

Marionne has partnered with top Plastic Surgeon, Dr Luke Stradwick to open the first of her Facial Rooms at his Gold Coast surgery.

Marionne de Candida Facial Rooms offers non-surgical day treatments, including the revolutionary HEALITE which can be used both pre and post-surgery to assist healing, bruising, pain, swelling and skin rejuvenation.

Marionne’s customised facial encompasses a paramedical procedure with lymphatic drainage, acupressure and reiki.

This ‘hero’ facial, which also includes massage, finishes with a hyaluronic masque to give instant results.

Throughout her three decades of practice, Marionne has studied facial techniques under the world’s best, including the famous lymphatic educator Dr Vodder.

Marionne’s special topic of interest has always been the ageing skin and the effects of premature ageing due to sun exposure and environmental agents.

While her specialty lies within perfect technique and knowledge of the latest advances in anti-ageing skincare, her real passion is in helping people; in identifying and applying the right treatments, products and lifestyle adjustments to make a real difference in people’s lives.

Marionne’s special touch and Reiki inclusion ensures you emerge fully relaxed and as rejuvenated as your skin.

Recognised by Net-a-Porter in their ‘little black book’ of top 5 world facialists, Marionne has played an integral role in the development of some of Australia’s leading spas. The honorary title of ‘Celebrity Facialist’ is reserved for those whom celebrities trust to regularly care for their most precious asset.

With a client list that includes Elle Macpherson, Kate Hudson and Baz Luhrmann to name just a few, her skin care expertise and facial skill sets are well renowned and applauded in a wide range of media from Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue through Conde Nast and spa Industry publications.

STYLE ALERT SPRING-SUMMER 2020

Take note, as the mercury rises, so does the proclivity for patterns, neons, sheers and silky shorts. This season, men’s fashion is anything but boring.

BOXER BRAVE

For Spring/Summer 2020, designers have taken the shorts trend up a notch, reaching into a previously taboo realm of boxer shorts. Matched with vests and Ts, silky boxers took to the runway at Prada, Versace, Giorgio Armani and Fendi shows. Meanwhile, Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring/Summer 2020 show was all about “Sicilian jungle”: retro suits, safari suit-style winged collars and palm fronds.

SHEER APPEAL

Image credit: Versace

It’s all about going see-through on top this summer: mesh shirts, sheer tracksuits, Organza bomber jackets and tulle overshirts make the barely there trend as practical as it is eye-popping, particularly with temps likely to soar.

MATCHY MATCHY

Another key theme in the northern previews for Spring Summer 2020 are totally coordinated combos: shorts and shirts in florals and patterns, denim on denim, all white – as long as it is the perfect pair.

The ST.1 HYBRID from Ecco shoes draws its inspiration from the American buck shoe from the 1950s. A combination of a traditional leather shoe and sneaker sole, it’s a relaxed spin on a formal shoe with a healthy dose of swagger, but the core focus is comfort, performance and versatility. It has been designed and engineered with advanced “SHOCK-THRUTM” technology which is more sole material under the heel to enhance comfort and increase shock absorption. More at au.ecco.com

What’s the buzz about BBL? You may have heard of and already tried IPL, which stands for Intense Pulsed Light. BBL stands for Broadband Light. They are similar, but BBL is typically more powerful and more precise than IPL. A BBL-based system is more customisable and allows the practitioner to create a more specific treatment for each concern.

BBL is an innovative technology that uniquely delivers light therapy targeting the signs of ageing and sun damage and effectively provides a more refreshed, rejuvenated and youthful appearance.

For skin rejuvenation, BBL removes age spots, freckles, redness, small vessels and more. It can also be used to reduce unwanted hair and control active acne. Best of all, BBL can be used to treat all areas of the body.

TOP 5 BENEFITS OF THE FOREVER YOUNG BBL™ SYSTEM BY SCITON®: TREATMENT OF COMMON SKIN CONCERNS Forever Young BBL not only can restore damaged skin, but it also offers agedefying benefits. This Broadband Light treatment safely and precisely treats a number of skin conditions anywhere on the body, including sun damage, sunspots, rosacea, age spots, facial veins and coarse hair growth.

NO SURGERY, NO DOWNTIME Benefits of Forever Young BBL include a completely non-invasive treatment, meaning no incisions or surgical methods.

The treatment is simple and relatively quick, generally recommended 3 to 4 times a year to slow down the aging process. After your session, you can return to normal activities immediately.

ANTI-AGEING BENEFITS

LONG-LASTING RESULTS

Although the correction of skin imperfections is remarkable, Forever Young BBL also targets the skin cells, and alter the expression of the genes associated with the ageing process to closely mimic the look and feel of younger skin.

Further studies conclude that patients with regular Forever Young BBL treatments see long-lasting results. These studies also include patients who were treatment more than 10 years ago! With Forever Young BBL, patients’ skin looks smoother, clearer and younger.

ANYWHERE, ANYTIME Whether you are 20 or 70 years old, Forever Young BBL is effective on all body areas, such as the face, neck, chest, arms and hands.

Grazing tables ARE THE HOTTEST PARTY FOOD TREND FOR 2019

We all love the choice that a buffet brings. After all, nothing quite brings a group of people together like crowding around a table teeming with antipasto delicacies or a help-yourself gourmet cheese selection.

The Grazing Table Company has proven that buffets can actually be works of art, giving the humble spread a modern makeover. Business owner, Tracey Vogel spent almost two decades in the food industry before embarking on her most exciting adventure yet.

“I’ve always loved food, and even more so the environment that it creates when people gather around it,” she said.

“Food is almost always at the centrepiece of great get-togethers and events.

Working in the restaurants and businesses I worked in over the years didn’t allow me the freedom to put my signature on the food I was creating. With my passion for food, and a passion for creativity, it seemed inevitable that the two would come together.

“Whereas many artists put paint on a canvas, my art is food on a table. I love telling stories and bringing out the romantic nature that food inspires. Everyone strives to create a memorable event and The Grazing Table Company can help create an unforgettable food experience at the heart of any event.”

Tracey creates a custom experience, complete with props and themed elements. Dietary restrictions are catered for.

Wake up every day with ‘your face on’

Women love the results of permanent makeup as it can help them achieve a more youthful appearance without undergoing surgery.

The most obvious benefit to permanent makeup is waking up every day with your ‘face on.’ You can shower, sweat, sleep and wake up still looking ready to go. It is also perfect for people who have allergies to traditional makeup or have sensitive skin.

At Premier Cosmetic Solutions, internationally-trained principal, Lorraine has transformed the faces of hundreds of happy clients. Located in a state-of-the-art studio in Runaway Bay, Lorraine has 13 years’ experience in the cosmetic industry and prides herself on having an excellent eye for detail.

If you love the look of fuller lips but don’t want to use fillers, lip treatments will give your lips a more defined, fuller look. Lorraine can correct shape and bring lips back to life with your chosen colour. If you love a full lash line, but lack the necessary steady hand, permanent eyeliner could be for you. Lorraine also specialises in face mapping and customising brows.

“Eyebrows are the frames of the eyes and can change and enhance your whole face.”

“Cosmetic eyebrow tattooing is great for people with sparse or uneven brows, correcting symmetry, lifting the tail end or arch and adding or enhancing colour, thickness, style and shape.”

Permanent makeup is among many of Lorraine’s services. From non-surgical facelifts to results-driven skin procedures, Lorraine takes prides in helping women take years off their appearance. All procedures are low-risk, with minimal downtime.

TACOOLA swimear

Tacoola swimwear is born and bred Gold Coast, and now making waves wherever there’s sun, sand and selfies.

The world of designer swimwear is a competitive and complex market. What better way to cut through than on the back, and body, of Kylie Jenner! For some that would be the pinnacle, but Gold Coast designer, Jeni Patch and her vintage-inspired brand, Tacoola, it’s only just the beginning.

With a style that captures days gone by, in an ode to the vintage era, Tacoola has climbed the heights on the world stage, spotted on the svelte and sun-kissed bodies of influencers across the globe, including Audrina Patridge, Demi Moore’s daughters and the afore-mentioned Kylie Jenner.

Tacoola’s signature swimsuit, the Mai Mai, as favoured by Jenner, has since set a trend across the globe and led to unbridled success for the brand.

Jeni says the brand has grown from humble beginnings and they’re dedicated to staying true to their style and beliefs, which keeps the customers coming back.

Tacoola promises a designer swimsuit that is flattering, comfortable and keeps it classy, yet allows every woman to feeling sexy and confident,” she says.

“The unique texture of our signature 70s knit fabric is loved and adored by all of our customers around the world. With its 100-way stretch it delivers a fit and shape that is flattering, pulling you in and adding a layer of confidence.”

Cultivating a brand that has a body image conscience, Jeni has combined her flair for design and her business know-how with a responsibility to promote good messages for girls and women.

“I am a mum of three boys coming from a long line of women seamstresses with a flair for fashion and creation. Tacoola was born from my desire to design for strong women and from my passion for vintage eras.”

“Ours is a story of an organically grown brand,” she explains. “We started small and we’ve seen overwhelming success in a very short time. Our first online swimwear collection sold out almost instantly.”

Named after Jeni’s white horse and meaning “beauty in the natural state of wild and free”, Tacoola sets itself apart from the plethora of homegrown swimwear labels on the Gold Coast and Australia with its core design values and commitment to quality.

“We aim to design swimwear that transcends age and body shape. Our customers range from young girls and teenagers to mums with babies and little ones, plus everyone in between and beyond.

LIMONCELLO Spring is the best time to refresh your palate with the zing of lemon. This recipe, from All Day Cocktails by Shaun Byrne and Nick Tesar calls for loads of lemons and some patience, but it’s all worth it for the citrusy perfection that emerges. Makes approximately 1.5 Litres (6 cups).

Ingredients: 2kg lemons 250g caster (superfine) sugar 700ml vodka 250ml white port 10g dried lemon

Method:

Peel the lemons and combine the peel and sugar in a sealable 1 litre jar. Leave to rest for 2 weeks in the fridge.

Halve the lemons crossways and char, flesh-side down, in a dry griddle pan set over a high heat for about 1 minute. Combine the charred lemons with the vodka in an airtight container and leave to rest for 2 weeks at room temperature.

Mix the white port and lemon balm together in a sealable jar and leave to rest for 1 day. Add 700ml water to the lemon peel and sugar and stir to dissolve. Strain the vodka, white port, and water and sugar mixtures through a coffee filter or a piece of muslin (cheesecloth) into a large bowl or saucepan. Stir until well combined, then pour into sterilised glass bottles. The limoncello will keep for up to 1 year in the fridge.

Tortellini at midnight

Sometime in the 1950s, Emiko Davies’ nonno-in-law began the tradition of ringing in the new year with tortellini al sugo. He served it along with spumante and a round of tombola, and sparked a trend; up until the 1970s, you could find tortellini at midnight on New Year’s Eve in the bars around the Tuscan town of Fucecchio.

This is just one of the heirloom dishes in this collection, for which Emiko Davies has gathered some of her favourite family recipes. They trace generations that span the length of Italy, from the Mediterranean port city of Taranto in the southern heel of Puglia to elegant Turin, the city of aperitif and Italian cafe culture in the far north and, finally, back to Tuscany, which Emiko calls home.

Tortellini at Midnight is a book rich with nostalgia, with fresh, comforting food and stunning photography. It is a book that is good for the soul.

PARMIGIANA DI MELANZANE EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA

Parmigiana is a layered vegetable dish that has nothing to do with parmesan cheese or the northern Italian town of Parma (as it is often mistakenly thought), and everything to do with southern Italian cooking. It has all the hallmarks of a true icon of Italian cuisine; it is resourceful, seasonal, economic and deliciously satisfying all at once.

SERVES 4 AS A MAIN OR 6 AS ANTIPASTO 2 large eggplants (aubergines) (approx. 1 kg/2 lb 3 oz) 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 small onion, finely chopped 500 g (1 lb 2 oz) tomato passata (puréed tomatoes) handful of fresh basil leaves 500 ml (17 fl oz/2 cups) vegetable oil, for frying 1 large ball (approx. 200 g/7 oz) fresh mozzarella, sliced 80 g (2¾ oz) aged pecorino (or parmesan or caciocavallo), grated Peel the eggplants if you like, then cut them lengthways into 1 cm (½ in) thick slices. Layer them in a colander and sprinkle each layer generously with salt (don’t worry, you will rinse it off later). Finish layering and salting the slices, then place a plate on top followed by a weight (such as a tin of beans or tomatoes). Leave for a minimum of 30 minutes and up to 1 hour. During this time, the eggplant slices will weep a brownish liquid. Rinse them under cold water and carefully pat them dry with clean tea towels (dish towels).

While the eggplants are draining, prepare the tomato sauce by heating the olive oil in a deep pan over a low heat. Add the onion and cook gently until soft and translucent but not coloured, about 10 minutes. Add the passata, along with a few basil leaves, a splash of water and a pinch of salt (try not to salt this sauce too much; it should be bright and fresh – also keep in mind the cheese, especially if using caciocavallo, which will add some saltiness too). Increase the heat to medium and leave to simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce is as thick as you like it. Set aside until needed.

Pour the vegetable oil into a wide saucepan, preferably one that will fit three or four eggplant slices at a time. Set over a medium–high heat. The oil is hot enough when a cube of eggplant dropped into the oil sizzles immediately. Fry three or four slices at a time, a few minutes on each side, or until they are evenly golden brown. Drain well on paper towels and leave to cool. Change the paper towels as necessary and continue frying until all the slices are cooked.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Assemble the Parmigiana by first spooning some tomato sauce in a thin layer over the bottom of a rectangular or oval ceramic or glass casserole dish (ideally, the kind that you can also present at the table). Top with a single layer of eggplant, then spoon over some more tomato sauce, a few torn up basil leaves and a handful of cheese – both mozzarella and pecorino. Continue layering eggplant, tomato sauce and basil, ending with a more generous layer of cheese, in particular the pecorino. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until you can see the edges bubbling and a golden-brown crust has formed. It’s best to let the Parmigiana sit for about 15–20 minutes before cutting into it, and it’s also delicious served tepid rather than piping hot – a real treat on a hot summer’s night.

DITALINI CON COZZE E FAGIOLI

DITA LINI PASTA WITH MUSSELS AND BEANS This is a delicious, hearty and always satisfying combination: plump mussels from Taranto’s port and earthy, creamy legumes in a flavourful, fragrant broth, and you can find it in all of Taranto’s typical trattorie. The brothy sauce makes this something halfway between a pasta and a soup, and it is always served with a spoon.

Instead of borlotti (cranberry) beans, you can also use cannellini beans or even potatoes, peeled, diced into 1 cm (½ in) cubes and boiled together with the pasta.

SERVES 4 1 kg (2 lb 3 oz) live mussels in their shells, beards and any exterior grit removed 240 g (8ó oz) ditalini pasta (or other very small soup pasta) 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling 1 garlic clove, finely chopped ½ onion, thinly sliced 125 ml (4 fl oz/½ cup) dry white wine 1 large ripe tomato, diced 200 g (7 oz) cooked borlotti (cranberry) beans, drained 1 hot red chilli, finely chopped (optional) handful of flat-leaf (Italian) parsley leaves, finely chopped Check over the mussels and discard any that are cracked or open and won’t close when gently prodded. Make sure the mussels are cleaned well in fresh water and, if necessary, scrub with steel wool. To open the mussels, heat them in a wide, shallow, dry frying pan over a medium–high heat. Cover, and shake the pan occasionally to help the mussels move around (the ones on the bottom will find it harder to open fully than the ones on top). After about 1–2 minutes, check them and, with a pair of tongs, begin pulling out the mussels that have already opened and transfer these to a large bowl. Continue until all the mussels have opened (any that are still tightly shut can be discarded). Turn off the heat.

Strain the precious mussel liquid left in the pan – either using a very fine-mesh sieve or a regular sieve lined with a paper towel and set over a bowl – and pull out the meat from the shells (reserving some whole mussels to garnish), discarding the shells.

In the meantime, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil (see page 17) and cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet (minus 1 minute of cooking time).

Heat the olive oil in a wide frying pan over a low heat and gently fry the garlic and onion for about 5 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and sizzling but not coloured. Pour in the wine and increase the heat to medium. Add the tomato and simmer for a further 5 minutes (if you’re using a tomato that you think is probably not as ripe as one that you would find in sun-drenched Puglia, let it cook for 10 minutes, and add a splash of water if you find the liquid is reducing too much).

Add the beans, the mussel meat and their liquid and taste for seasoning (this is important to do only after you add the liquid from the mussels as it can be quite salty). Add the chilli, if using, and some freshly ground black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes, then toss over the parsley as you take it off the heat.

Drain the pasta (reserving some of the cooking liquid if you feel you didn’t have enough mussel cooking liquid) and serve with the rather soupy sauce (add a splash of the pasta cooking liquid if necessary) of mussels and beans and a drizzle of olive oil. It should be eaten with a spoon.

The campaign, shot by Juergen Teller is quite literally a celebration of the English capital, her cherished hometown. The creative captures a carefree, adventurous spirit and demonstrates Cara’s full skill set, as she sings her own version of ‘Maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner’ and traipses around London soaking up the ambience and the blossom-lined streets during spring.

“London has that freedom and that zest for life that I definitely hold dear to my heart.”

In 2012, Cara was crowned Model of the Year at the British Fashion awards, an honour she reprised in 2014.

Born in London into a prominent aristocratic family whose ancestors include Viscounts, Baronets, Majors and Lord Mayors of London, Cara has had a stellar career in modelling, branching into acting and is a staunch supporter of LGBTQ youth charities and humanitarian projects.

In the Northern Spring, Cara was named the face of Burberry Her, the latest fragrance from the iconic British brand that helped launch her career.

According to the brand, “Cara Delevingne embodies the energetic spirit of a Londoner”, which is ideal for this new interpretation of Burberry Her.

‘Her’ eau de parfum is the first gourmand with a british twist by Burberry, “A burst of red and dark berry notes lightened by a luminous, white woody accord”.

The bottle is luxurious yet understated, inspired by an archival Burberry fragrance design.

Of the campaign and the long-lasting relationship with Burberry, Cara said “I think Burberry is very evolutionary in terms of how they change”.

personality and iconic heritage.

With their feminine flair and understated sophistication, any one of the new models in the Carrera Lady 36 mm collection will make the ideal accessory for the discerning and confident modern urban woman.

Cara captures the style and personality of the new Carrera Lady watches: Fearless and feminine, Cara’s personality and reputation are a perfect complement to these contemporary products.

“For me a watch is not only a fashion accessory, it’s also something that reflects who you are and your way of life,” said Cara. “In that regard, I like my watch to be daring, bold, and noticeable.”

She continued: “The first thing you notice when you look at the Carrera watches is the design, the lines, the elegance without being too classic.

I really like the touch of colour, the stainless-steel bracelet, and how you can wear them with different looks throughout the day.”

Looking forward to new projects, including appearing with Orlando Bloom in ‘Carnival Row’, a new Victorian fantasy show launching on Amazon Prime this August in which she plays a fairy called Vignette, Cara is enthused and energetic about uniting the worlds of fashion and film.

“There’s something very young spirited about the brand. It has that freedom and that zest for life that I definitely hold dear to my heart and Burberry does as well.”

Cara first signed with Burberry in 2011, aged 19, in a campaign alongside Eddie Redmayne.

Her style and persona have certainly evolved since her teenage years and Burberry Her is the perfect reflection of this more sophisticated Burberry woman.

“Burberry Her is more layered . . . it has two sides to it. It has that masculine element in terms of the bottle and it’s cooler, it’s more withdrawn, which I like.”

In between pursuing her acting career, Cara has close ties with Swiss timepiece brand Tag Heuer, partnering with the iconic brand for the new Carrera Lady.

The refined and feminine Carrera Lady watches have been emboldened with an elegant design, while staying true to the Carrera line’s daring

“Acting has always been my dream—it’s definitely where I see my future,” the young supermodel told Harper’s Bazaar in 2012 at the London premiere of her film debut, ‘Anna Karenina’ (wearing Burberry, of course!)

No doubt, with her chameleon genius, Cara Delevingne will continue to light up the silver screen and delight followers of fashion.

TOGETHER

ZALIAH is the brand on everybody’s lips (and hips) this season and it’s helmed by a dynamic mother daughter duo, Tiarne and Monique Ettingshausen, who have invested their passion for fashion and creative flair into the luxe Australian label.

As Tiarne explains: “There was a gap in the market, for high quality pieces that didn’t break the bank. We are all about quality over quantity, and we are not going to be seen everywhere and anywhere. We are exclusive, and we make sure quality control is on point.

“We understand these pieces are investments and we personally make sure that they will stand the test of time and be worth your money.”

Here, Tiarne sheds some light on the origin of the brand and what we can expect next.

What inspired you to start your own label? We found a niche in the market as we couldn’t find any leather pieces that were high quality, but still affordable for the everyday woman. Everything was breaking the bank, and the leather quality wasn’t even great!

What does the name ‘ZALIAH’ mean? We just wanted something super unique, and we came up with ZALIAH! It has a cool edginess to it.

What is your background before starting Zaliah? I studied fashion business and design, and then went onto styling for Cosmo Mag for a few years. Monique was in fashion retail owning her own retail store with her mum for 10 years.

What specialties/skills do you and your mum each bring to the brand? I like the customer service part of it and running the social media, and mum is great with the designing elements and she’s also so great in sales. We both work hard and balance each other out.

What are the hallmarks of the brand? We are all about high quality pieces; quality over quantity for sure! Customer service is also one of our strong points.

What are some key pieces for spring we should invest in? A really great pair of linen shorts and a linen shirt. This way you can mix and match the two with denim, layer up on those cooler nights, but also look effortless and transition into summer wearing them together. Linen on Linen is a must! You also can’t go wrong with a simple Linen dress you can pop your leather jacket over, or wear on its own.

What’s your vision for Zaliah in the next few years? Focusing on our online stor, and really mastering the website so it’s an easier shopping experience for our customers worldwide. Adding in better quality images, measurements, videos, currency exchanges. Online, the world is your oyster!

The surname and business based in Cronulla are a give-away. Are you the great League legend, ET’s daughter? And did you inherit his sporting talent? Yes, ET is my dad. I played tennis for most of my childhood and even attended distance education from year 7 to 11 as I played tennis full time. It was a wild experience but I was injured too often to continue. Training six hours a day, you really learn to be motivated and determined which I feel has come across to our business.

LIQUIDATING MY COMPANY — NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD COME TO THIS! Whether it is a voluntary decision or the court appoints a liquidator at the request of an unpaid creditor, Liquidation is every director’s worst nightmare.

Specialist Accountant Clare Birnie says “It is important for Directors to educate themselves on business risks and act on the early warning signs that something might be wrong, however, if you find yourself in liquidation take a deep breath and remember, the sun will come up tomorrow – you will get through this”.

have the right to harass you – send them to the liquidator.

It is important to remember that Liquidators are just doing a statutory job. You will be asked to hand over all the company’s assets and records. You might even be asked to help the Liquidator recover some assets or your specialist skill might be required to finish a job for the company to get paid.

If the funding stops, and the company continues to incur liabilities, directors start to get into a danger zone where they can become liable for insolvent trading and potentially personally liable for all the unsecured creditor debts. This lifting of the corporate veil only occurs if the company ends up in liquidation.

You might be interviewed by the Liquidator (several times) and you might feel that the Liquidator is implying that you have hidden assets – don’t take it personally, that is their job.

Financial Crisis Advisor Ginette Muller says, “When a company is distressed, a director should consider Safe Harbour protection before putting any more money into the business”. Ginette’s advice is to make sure you know what you are risking by keeping the doors open sometimes it can be more than you think. She says, “stay safe, and get competent and trustworthy advice”.

Liquidators are naturally suspicious and have statutory duties to recover all assets and check whether you have breached any director duties. Creditors want liquidators to investigate – they want answers – they have a right to be unhappy because not getting paid by you might cause their collapse. However, once in Liquidation creditors don’t

If a company can’t pay debts as and when they fall due, it is insolvent. But you can, and most directors do, provide personal funding to a business that is insolvent – to meet some or all its liabilities and keep the doors open.

EXPLAINING B

etween 13,000-17,000 breast implant procedures are performed in Australia each year. Gel or fluidfilled pouches are inserted in the breast area for many reasons, including cosmetic enhancement or reconstruction after surgery.

According to the TGA, “Breast implants are not lifetime devices and need to be replaced after 10 to 15 years”.

Here, Dr John Flynn demystifies the “explant” and answers some of the key questions about the procedure.

Q: Why are “explants” trending?

Many women present to their Doctors or Plastic Surgeons with concerns about their breast implants, the majority of them in the older cohort who had their implants 15 to 20 years ago.

Most of them have decided they’re too big, too heavy, they’ve lost or gained weight, or maybe there’s an issue and they’ve decided to remove them. In some cases, there’s a complication such as capsular contraction, a leak or rupture.

Is media hype around certain implants causing cancer leading to a spike in explants?

There is a lot of misinformation on the internet and in the media and the truth is, the incidence of complications is very rare – something like one in ten thousand. There is no conclusive evidence surrounding implants and cancer, and it’s important to consult an expert who can advise you on your unique symptoms and situation.

It all boils down to women around 45 years and over, wishing to reduce the size of their breasts, or something has occurred to cause them concern.

What does the explant procedure involve?

It’s very simple – remove the implant and associated capsule. Sometimes women decide to replace them with a smaller implant or go ‘au naturel’.

What are the options then?

Women may opt for a mastopexy (breast lift) to ensure their breasts sit up in a reasonable position, or an augmentation mastopexy (implant and lift) after having their implants removed. cosmedic.com.au/ About Dr John Flynn MBBS, Dip RACOG, FRACGP, Dip.P.Derm (UK) FACCS Senior Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr Flynn has practised on the Gold Coast for over 20 years.

BAN Bounce

According to research from Berlei, the experts in bras, a staggering 40% of Australian women don’t wear a sports bra while exercising and 76% of women who do wear a sports bra wear the same one regardless of the sport they’re playing.

With that in mind, Berlei has released its new Spring Summer Sports range that aim to take care of and support all boobs, for all activities.

It’s scientifically proven that boobs move differently during sport. Even a B Cup can bounce up to 8cm! So Berlei has designed a range of Sports Bras that offer single breast encapsulation to treat each breast differently. They don’t compress like crop tops do, they encapsulate, giving you more freedom, comfort and confidence to move. And Berlei Sports bras are designed with custom-sizing in mind, so rather than choosing a S, M or L, you can choose your cup and band size so it’s specific to you.

Berlei Sports bras are the only sports bra brand tested, approved and endorsed by the Australian Institute of Sport, and has been the sporting equipment of choice of Serena Williams since her mum discovered them in a store when she was here playing in the Australian Open.

BALTIC BLISS

BY JULES INGALL

The Baltic states are a pocket of countries in the north eastern part of Europe bordering on Russia. Dating back hundreds of years to medieval times, they are rich in culture, history and beauty.

Knowing pretty much nothing about this region of the world, I was invited by Canon Australia to experience a road trip starting in Lithuania, journeying up through five countries and ending in Finland. The great thing about road tripping is it offers you the opportunity to experience so much more of a country, see its rural region and engage in experiences often missed in our haste to tick off all the tourist destinations.

An overwhelming thing about travelling to Europe (other than the 25 hours of travelling it takes to get there), is that a trip like this involves five countries. So that means five different cultures, five different languages and laws and etiquette that

piece of art, hundreds of years old, all different and beautiful.

Of course, the churches in Europe are a strong theme. Historically, life revolved around religion and so in the Vilnius city alone, there are 40 churches, each with intricate detail, beautiful architecture and incredible stories of wars, destruction and life in medieval times. Don’t worry if you’re not religious.

I was intrigued to see that most of the churches we visited were more of a tourist attraction than a place of worship that could be appreciated for its magnificence and design rather than its original intention of reverence.

From Lithuania, we were chauffeured north to Riga, the capital of Latvia. Stops on the way included the legendary Trakai Castle where we wandered the old castle buildings before being treated to local traditional pastries. Each country has its own unique food customs, with beetroot, pork, dill, sour cream and pickled vegetables being a common theme. The food in Europe is so rich in flavour and always in abundance, there was never a time where we sat and just ate one meal. Every day was a gastronomical feast with three or more courses at every stop.

Luckily with all the walking involved in the tour, there was no guilt in indulging in the beautiful foods.

go along with each. There’s only so much that google can prepare you.

Luckily, rather than try and navigate all the little nuances myself, Back Roads Touring Company and Baltic Blues came to the rescue and looked after the itinerary. Every detail right down to meals, money exchange, tours and more was taken care of, so all I had to do was pack my bags for two weeks in the European summer and let the experts take over. It’s actually exciting to visit a place for the first time with no knowledge or expectation and just be taken in by first impressions.

Arriving in the town of Vilnius, Lithuania, is first stop on the journey and I’m immediately thrown back in time.

The “Old Town” as it is known is the original castle and town erected inside the castle walls, that today has built into a quaint, cobble stoned village type atmosphere with endless churches, of course, and our first hotel located right on the town square.

The best way to experience these places is by foot.

Firstly, for someone like me, I am forever stopping to take a snap not wanting to miss one inch of this incredible town, but also you have the time to take in and absorb every detail. Small details like the old doors were my favourite. Every doorway is

62

The city of Riga is the biggest of the Baltic cities with a population of over 600,000.

Founded in 1201, the old town city is another intriguing labyrinth of laneways, cobblestones and historic buildings, which is definitely becoming a consistent theme.

In years gone by, Riga was a significant city in the Baltic region due to its location on the banks of the river Daugava making it a key player in trade. It has been occupied by Sweden, Russia and Germany in its history, so you notice the architecture is in layers of different styles created by the many different influences in the hundreds of years since its foundation.

A bustling marketplace with fresh produce is a great place to sample Latvian delicacies and an ideal start to a walking tour of the old town city.

From Riga, next stop was Estonia. To break up the long drive to Tallinn city, there’s an interesting stop to the town of Ligante.

Home to a soviet bunker hidden nine-metres underground a

questioning whether it was worth the effort. Having said that, the design of the city is inspired by Amsterdam with canals and Baroque architecture. Only 300 years old, this vast city is fun to explore on foot where I had more fun roaming the streets than at some of the overcrowded tourist attractions like the Hermitage Museum, Peterhof Royal Palace and St Isaacs Cathedral, all which rate as ‘must dos’ on popular travel guide sites.

Finally, after many miles walked and driven, last stop on our two-week tour was Finland. My expectations of Finland was all nature, forests and lakes, yet the city of Helsinki is a bustling vibrant city with so much to offer. Again, set on the waters of the Gulf of Finland, there are loads of waterfront markets and restaurants.

hospital, it was finished in 1982 and intended as a shelter for the Latvian Communist Elite in the case of Nuclear war.

It’s fascinating to walk through the maze of tunnels and rooms and try and comprehend that this was only 40 years ago. Our guide through the bunker was entertaining, but there wa still a cold shiver trying to get my head around the history. It was the case with so many of the places we visited, soaking up the history but also walking the steps that so many significant moments in history occurred. It was fascinating hearing all the stories from the guides and locals.

To lighten the mood after such an intense experience, we stopped just down the road at a small, family-owned winery.

The wine tasting is set deep in caves built into the hillside which were originally used as food storage caves for the whole town pre-electricity. Now, they are cute, cosy wine tasting rooms boasting flavours like carrot wine and beetroot vodka. Showing their sense of humour, we were offered to purchase samples at the town “pharmacy”.

This is a very clean and modern city without the now familiar castles and gothic buildings. In history, Finland has been controlled by both Sweden and Russia so the influence of both is evident. It’s a little bit larger than some of the Baltic States with a population of five million people so it’s probably advisable to take a driving tour of this city to really take in the essence of the place.

Having started this journey with mild enthusiasm, I now find myself struggling to try and convey what an incredible part of the world this is. From Australia, it’s probably not one of the more popular overseas holiday destinations but this is also what makes it somewhere that should be at the top of your list. Yes, it is popular with Europeans and there are plenty of people around, but it’s not overwhelming. The most enchanting thing about the Baltics is the fascinating history. Each city has its own unique culture, cuisine and story. Trying to get your head around the fact that you are walking paths where Kings and Queens once reigned, is almost eerie.

Key moments in history happened on the exact places we stood making the journey all the more magical. The guides each provide their own tales and quirky stories, perhaps sometimes bi-

I’ve travelled a lot in Europe and Tallinn is my new favourite city. When most people think of Europe, it’s Paris or the Amalfi Coast, the Greek Islands, all of which are beautiful. However, more and more, I’m finding myself looking for somewhere new. Western Europe is becoming so busy and being a photographer, there’s not really any hidden gems left.

Tallinn has it all. Situated on the Baltic Sea, the old Town inside the castle walls dates back to the fourteenth century and like previous countries on the tour, has an abundance of cathedrals, gothic medieval buildings, secret passageways and cobble streets to explore. There’s a certain charm to Tallinn and particularly in the summer, with the long white nights where the sky never truly goes dark, the city is alive at all hours of the day and night. It’s just a question of how little sleep you can survive on.

From Tallinn, the tour headed east to Russia. To be honest, although I am glad to have ticked Russia off my bucket list, the whole process of visiting this country is a mission. Unlike all the other Baltic States, on an Australian passport you are required a tourist entry Visa into Russia which is not only expensive, but takes up to six weeks to process. The procedure to enter into the boarder of Russia by vehicle is a minimum two-hour exercise and once you reach the city of St Petersburg, you have to battle not only with their six million population, but also the 5.6 million visitors per year.

Bucket list

ased towards their homeland when it comes to “who won the war”, but entertaining nonetheless. A two-week tour is a great way to get a taste of the Baltic region. We covered so much in such a short time and it certainly inspired me to want to return to explore even more.

By the Sea

Personal stylist Kristin Todd sets out to show women that being stylish isn’t about wearing the latest looks from the runway, it’s about building a wardrobe that’s an extension of your taste, your body and your lifestyle.

Packed with insider tips, Kristin’s approach to dressing is fresh and led by taste and inspiration rather than rules.

Elton John and iconic photographer Terry O’Neill worked together for many years, taking in excess of 5,000 photographs. O’Neill has drawn on his personal relationship with Elton John to compile this revealing collection of images, from intimate backstage shots to huge stadium concerts, representing the very best of his archive, most of them for the first time.

The queen of home making and event planning, Chyka Keebaugh, shares her interpretation of holidays from around the world, exploring a diverse range of customs and traditions, with her own creative spin on each occasion. And, of course, there’s a delicious recipe and cocktail (or two) along the way. Chyka Celebrate is the perfect manual for entertaining wherever you are, for every season.

By the Sea features more than 50 unique properties throughout the world that have their footprints on some of the world’s most wonderful beaches.

Featuring a mix of residential homes, hotels, restaurants and cafes, each property has been carefully selected for its aesthetic value, history, and ambience, and their success in blending with, and adapting to, their enviable beachfront locations.

Alannah Hill, one of Australia’s most successful fashion designers, created an international fashion brand that defied trends. Yet ‘having it all’ turned out to be another illusion. In 2013 Alannah walked away from her eponymous brand, a departure that left her coming apart at the seams.

This extraordinary book is the fierce and intelligent account of how a freckle-faced teenage runaway metamorphosed into a trailblazer and true original.
