STEP IT UP

Cruise INTO COSTA MODA

with

URBBANA You’ve all heard the saying ‘you can tell a lot about a man by his shoes’...that’s why men who wear Urbbana shoes simply scream style!

Looking suave requires more than just a good suit - the accessories count and we all know that shoes can make or break an outfit; you can have all the finishing touches in the world - a tie or bowtie, a pocket square, a vest - but you will always need a good pair of shoes to cap it all off.

Brogues are dominating the latest Urbbana shoe collection with eight new styles arriving in store. Handmade in Portugal using the finest calfskin, the new collection features plenty of colours including brown, whisky brown, black, olive green, indigo and blue. These shoes are high fashion and high quality so do yourself a favour and grab a pair or two!

Costa Moda’s vibrant high summer collection is ideal for the warm sunny days and beautiful balmy Brisbane evenings. The collection has been created to capture the essence of the festive and holiday season. The styles are perfectly designed to take you through the day still looking fabulous for evening dinner and drinks making them superb for cruising or a relaxed coastal holiday. Be sure to drop in before you pack your bags for your summer vacation and if you’re struggling to find a gift for the lady who has everything, you can pick up a gift voucher.

YOUR LADY

For someone deserving of a real indulgent treat, there is the 90 minute ‘Divine Relaxation’ package with a signature facial, hand treatment and relaxation massage for $149.

If you’re really looking to spoil her, you simply cannot go past the ‘Body Bliss Treatment’ - a 2½ hour ultimate unwind session complete with a hydra facial, full body exfoliation, express manicure and express pedicure for $249.

THE GIFT

THAT KEEPS ON

giving

Everyone sets new year’s resolutions they struggle to keep, namely “I am going to get fit and healthy”. To keep your loved ones on track with their health and fitness goals, give the gift of Pilates from Studio Pilates Hamilton. High energy, intense 40 minute Pilates reformer workouts offer a unique way to get fit, in the comfort of a beautifully decorated Pilates studio with amazing and inspirational instructors.

The sessions include an exciting mix of challenging workouts, combined with a killer vibe. You can take extra pleasure in knowing that every time your loved one stands up and feels that incredible burn following a session, they will think of you!

PAMPER YOUR

MAN

Gift shopping for your husband, boyfriend, brother, father or son can be challenging. If they really want it, they have probably already gone out and purchased it for themselves. If you’re looking for something he may not think of treating himself to, then man-scaping and skin care products are a pretty good bet (and far nicer than socks and jocks!). Bou’s for Men has a great range of Christmas gift ideas in store that will keep the men in your life looking dapper. You will find the shelves stocked with the finest styling products imported from London that are reminiscent of the old-style barber shop including shaving creams, shaving soaps, after shave balms, shaving oils, razors, leather journals, feather quills, manicure sets, shower gels, shampoos and conditioners and of course many kinds of styling products and pomades.

LIVING ‘Vertical villages’ are increasingly luring families from the suburbs to the inner city, as they ditch large family homes in favour of low maintenance apartments to simplify their life and maximise family time.

The traditional dream of raising a family on a quarter acre block is being challenged by vibrant new apartment developments on the cusp of the CBD where convenience is king, with work and lifestyle literally at the doorstep.

The Zeneldin family are among the new wave of families moving from their large house to an inner city apartment having just relocated to their brand new home at Portside Wharf - a mixed use community located on the Brisbane River in the heart of Northshore Hamilton - the city’s largest urban renewal project.

Robin Zeneldin said he swapped his five bedroom, five bathroom house in Calamvale for a two bedroom apartment in the precinct’s latest stage, Pinnacle, because he wanted convenience without the maintenance.

“We realised we were spending too much precious family time mowing lawns, maintaining gardens and cleaning the house and we wanted to create an easier lifestyle,” he said.

“Our apartment in Pinnacle is the perfect size for myself, my wife and our two boys with enough room for the kids to have a play area and my wife and I some space to ourselves.

“We make great use of the rooftop pool and entertainment area as well as the dining, shopping and conveniences in the Portside Wharf precinct.

“We now have everything at our fingertips and more time to spend doing the things we love.

“It’s just a better way of living.”

Brookfield Residential Properties General Manager Lee Butterworth said masterplanned projects such as Northshore Hamilton were giving developers the canvas to create integrated communities with forethought and planning, forming inner-city neighbourhoods for the 21st century.

FAMILIES SWAP HOUSES FOR APARTMENTS “Retail and residential precincts, such as Portside Wharf, provide the best of both worlds, offering city conveniences without the hustle and bustle.”

He said while apartment living was once confined to the CBD, a shift in the market was seeing a diverse mix of buyers flock to action-packed areas surrounding the city.

“Integrated communities such as Northshore Hamilton that are in easy reach of the CBD are popular with buyers who want everything at their doorstep without the hassle of city living fraught with traffic jams and parking problems,” he said.

“This lifestyle has been the attraction for many buyers but now, more than ever, we are seeing families take advantage of the benefits of inner-city apartment living.”

He said while owner occupiers from the surrounding area who were downsizing from the family home remained the predominant buyer market, it continued to attract a growing demographic of buyers seeking the benefits of apartment living.

“Hamilton has long been a sought-after address and Portside Wharf is the social hub of the Inner North and the backbone of Northshore Hamilton which is set to become home to some 15,000 residents over the next 20 years,” he said.

“The unique living opportunity offered at Portside Wharf makes it attractive to buyers from all demographics as the chance to live riverside atop a precinct filled with retail, dining and entertainment, is rare.”

Portside Wharf is located six kilometres from the CBD with easy access to key economic areas, airports, motorways and public transport.

The riverside precinct is home to six residential buildings and almost 40 retailers including fine dining, cafes, eateries, boutique shopping, health and beauty, an IGA supermarket and Dendy Cinema.
