BUYER CONFIDENCE REMAINS strong in Brisbane’s inner-city apartment market, with Pradella’s Urban Edge at Kelvin Grove recording solid sales momentum.

The first building ‘Vista’ has sold out and the second building ‘Horizons’ is 75 percent sold.

Development Manager Brett Lentz says customers are predominantly Brisbane buyers eager to secure a quality property in the thriving Kelvin Grove neighbourhood.

“Our second building, Horizons, was completed in May and we expect the building to be sold out within months,” Mr Lentz says.

“You just can’t underestimate the value of close proximity to the CBD, QUT, the RBH medical precinct, Suncorp Stadium and The Barracks – facilities that appeal to a very broad demographic.”

Urban Edge apartments reflect modern lifestyle values with seamless indoor/outdoor living and innovative design.

Tell us a little bit about your current role at QUT and your new role at Oxford in October? As a member of the mathematical sciences team at QUT I’ve been working on modern methods for statistical data analysis, which I’ve applied to the study of galaxies in the early Universe and for the estimation of chlamydia prevalence among the Australian population. In October I’ll be moving to Oxford University to apply the same techniques for mapping the worldwide spread of malaria, thanks to funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

What are you most looking forward to with your new role? Hopefully seeing my work

contribute to improving international health-care strategies that can change people’s lives!

How would you describe your style?

Academic with a twist.

Do you follow any fashion rules? I don’t mix my leathers. Brown belt = brown shoes.

Black belt = black shoes!

What’s your fashion mantra? As Barney Stinson would have it, “Suit Up!” Your best budget buy? H&M easy iron white shirts. Perfect for work and a great fit.

Your most expensive purchase? A Zadig & Voltaire leather jacket … I was on a Swiss wage then!

What’s on your shopping list for

next season? I’m always on the lookout for well-tailored suits.

Your favourite go-to for men’s fashion?

The tweed vest… it classes up almost any outfit.

Your work fashion style? How does work affect your dress sense? Tailored.

Being an academic saw me dressing sharper.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Still in Oxford, hopefully.

Where can we find you….. On your day off? Having lunch at a café at Southbank.

On a Saturday night? Going to a gig in the Valley.

On your next holiday? Visiting my wife’s family in Provence on New Year’s Eve.

game changer AN EIGHT WEEK CHALLENGE HAS TRANSFORMED BRISBANE LIVES (AND BODIES!).

TAS MOULIS LOST: 3.5% body fat and 6.5cm.

GAINED: “Huge improvement in strength and cardio.

I now have so much more energy for the kids.”

IF THE SHEER influx of Kosama’s challenge participants is anything to go by, there should be an incredible amount of extremely fit and strong people kicking around Brisbane now.

The most recent eight-week challenge wrapped up on Saturday August 24, attracting almost 100 participants between the Valley and CBD, garnering a lot of positive attention, and changing the lives of all who participated.

Kosama Fitness made one overarching promise: give us eight weeks and we’ll change your life.

And for the challenge participants, it’s been a whirlwind of personal training, nutrition education, and group functional training sessions,

culminating in some amazing results.

As well as Tas and Sandra, Kosama’s other challengers reported losing up to nine percent body fat and 13 cms off their bodies - like Cammilla Gautam, who says she wouldn’t have achieved those results without the motivation and great training atmosphere created at Kosama.

One thing rings true for all involved: Kosama was the key behind their incredible transformations.

SANDRA SWINDELLS LOST: 4% body fat and 7.2cm.

GAINED: “I’ve tried challenges before and never been able to stick to them due to their restrictiveness. I LOVED Kosama’s eight week challenge as the meal plans had so much variety and the training was far more enjoyable than any other training I’ve done before.”

greased up LUCY STEPHENS CHATS WITH THE CHARMING ROB MILLS ON HIS ROLE AS DANNY ZUKO IN GREASE: THE MUSICAL, AND HIS FAVOURITE PLACES IN BRISBANE. You’ve been to Brisbane a few times for your shows now. What do you like to do when you’re here? I’ve been to James Street a few times, and I love eating at Eagle Street Pier – I think it’s one of the nicest spots in Australia.

Riverbar is one of my favourites. Last time I was here, I watched the Storm play the Broncos at Suncorp as well which was great, as I’m a big Melbourne Storm fan.

Was musical theatre something you always wanted to get involved in? Yeah, growing up I watched a lot of musical theatre. The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins – I loved them; I still love them! I studied singing and drama in high school and after playing in bands for many years and then doing Australian Idol I realized I wanted a different challenge. I didn’t want to go back to singing in a cover band, so I went and saw some shows on the West End which gave me that spark.

How have you found taking on the role of Danny Zuko in Grease? Is it challenging?

Um, yes! It is, because I don’t think I’m ‘cool’ (laughs) I’m not a cool guy! Also because there’s a lot of dancing.

If you weren’t a singer, what would you be doing? After high school I wanted to be an electrician because dad said it would be best to fall back with a trade. And I got a job pretty quickly after doing a pre-apprenticeship, and then it turned out I was colour blind so they were like, ‘oh, sorry!’.

What do you do when you’ve got time off?

I like to read and go to the beach. I love the footy, I love watching the Hawks AFL team and just playing my guitar.

Rob Mills takes on the ro le of “c oo l” Danny Zuko and nails it.

spring into action

IF YOU HAVE OUTER ORDER, YOU CAN ENJOY INNER CALM.

CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST DR JOHN BARLETTA ENCOURAGES US TO START ANEW THIS SPRING. THE ARRIVAL OF Spring is often a time we totally clean the house, refresh the garden, and tidy-up around the office. With nicer weather, you can focus on getting things in place. If you have outer order, you can enjoy inner calm.

You made plans earlier this year for what you wanted to achieve, right? Well, now is the time to review and re-examine how realistic those plans actually were.

Spring is an excellent time to reflect upon how you’ve been travelling thus far, and adjust behaviours and plans as necessary for the remainder of the year. You can do this by ticking off completed items from your list of goals, and comparing how much your life looks like your vision-board!

In light of how you’ve been doing, how healthy and happy you are, and what is important to you, the next step for your life

journey is to revisit your big picture. This means considering your relative strengths, identifying your passions, developing inspiring goals, accessing resources and support people (like mentors), and deciding on a timeframe. Remember, goals without timeframes are simply wishes destined to be only visions in your imagination.

It is invigorating and energising to work from the premise that (almost) anything is possible.

For myself, to make anything probable requires a little luck, quality people around me, and consistent daily focus on work in a way that assumes I can’t fail.

Yes, I believe the glass is three-quarters full!

PRACTICE MANAGER BY day, romantic novelist by night, Sandra Barletta’s life is not too far removed from the heroines that star in her stories.

Born in Germany, raised in the US by Italian parents, Sandra relocated to Australia 17 years ago after falling in love with her now husband. She dipped her ttoes in numerous career paths tthroughout her adult life, before e exploring her thirst for creative w writing.

“I basically just jumped in and st started writing a book,” she sa says.

“The first novel no-one ever sees,” she says. “It stays in se box somewhere, I look at it ab FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, $5.99 FROM occasionally and say my God, I oc WWW.ESCAPEPUBLISHING.COM.AU can’t believe I wrote that piece of ca crap,” she laughs. cra Eight years later, Sandra has refined her writing. For her masters in creative writing, she produced her first e-book published in February, and her second, For Your Eyes Only online this month.

SANDRA ANTONELLI HAS THE “I think as is the case with most writers, you WRITE STUFF FOR ROMANCE WITH kind of steal stories from other people’s life, or A DIFFERENCE. BY LUCY STEPHENS little snippets of things you see or hear,” she says.

LOCK ‘N’ LOAD BOASTS SEVERAL DYNAMIC FUNCTION AREAS OFFERING CANAPÉS TO SIT DOWN DINNERS.

“For this one, there’s a big nuclear research laboratory in Los Alamos where some classified information had gone missing - this actually happened – and the information turned up in a drug raid on a meth lab in a trailer park. I kind of took that idea and changed it a little bit, and went from there.”

Sandra says her novels have a common thread – a female lead over 35 and a romantic element.

“I started writing romantic novels because it frustrated me when reading a story and someone was starting a romantic relationship and they’re twenty. I thought where are these people who are 45 or 55?”

“So, I wrote a book I wanted to read with characters who are over forty - there’s so much more to women than being the cranky old lady and ‘the cougar’. So why not show women as they are, who have had life experience, who have had previous relationships which didn’t work and have had children, and are still trying to get life and love right?”

Sandra has three more novels in the works – as well as her final PHD submission – and hopes to publish many more.

“Everyone says if you’re a writer not to quit your day job - it’s a business like anything, and you don’t know what will sell. I just hope that people enjoy themselves when they read my books - I think that’s the bottom line.”

During the downturn, many people have shied away from ‘buying to renovate’ due to concerns about over-capitalising if the market continues to drop.

Our advice for those looking to buy to renovate: act quickly to secure your property and buy smart. Stick to streets popular with the type of buyer that would like your final product (go modern in modern neighbourhoods and traditional Queenslanders in older neighbourhoods). Make sure to understand your neighbourhood: what is the pricing cap? What have recently renovated properties sold for?

What plans do other owners in the street have for their properties?

And as always the key to a great buy - location, location, location!

DESPITE BEING A Commonwealth Bank Customer all her adult life, Style’s Claire Parviz had never really utilised the full services the bank could offer, or taken advantage of the unique services offered at the Flagship branch.

She decided to head in to experience the services first hand, and get her finances in order.

After being greeted at the door by the onsite concierge, Claire was directed to Relationship Manager Mariangela Stagnitti, who ordered her a coffee from the barista before asking Claire to list everything she was hoping to achieve financially.

“I had three bank accounts – all with the Commonwealth Bank plus more at other banks,” Claire says. “I needed to combine everything into the one account.”

“She consolidated them on the spot, and introduced me to David, a specialist in retirement and superannuation management who suggested I needed to start thinking more about the later stages of life – financially. www.stylemagazines.com.au

0913_BM_ p31.indd 31

They have specialists for everything here!”

“It’s not your regular bank experience,” Claire says.

“Right from the start, the whole procedure was seamless and unique, from the concierge greeting you at the door, to the barista, and the iPads and free WiFi for an hour,” Claire says.

The flagship branch allows customers to access CommBank Apps like Kaching and the Property Guide App, Netbank and other local content via the iPads, with deposit machines, NetBank kiosks also on site.

Claire has now organized to meet with a financial planner to provide her with options and a guide for maintaining financial security into the future.

“It’s all about the customer here, and when you’re talking about something as important as money – it feels good to know that it’s in safe hands!”

IT’S FULL STEAM AHEAD AT GASWORKS; BRISBANE’S NEWEST AND MOST EXCITING LIFESTYLE PRECINCT. GASWORKS, NEWSTEAD IS set to become one of the city’s premier lifestyle destinations.

Developed by Property Group FKP, the iconic gasometer frame will be converted into a public plaza, forming the epicentre of an exciting and vibrant retail and foodie hub, residential and office buildings, spread across 3000 sqm of land adjacent to the Brisbane River.

FKP Executive General Manager Gary Kordic says the Teneriffe/New Farm/Newstead areas have grown organically for a number of years. “It’s now reached the stage where the area needs this sort of master-planned community that encompasses residential as well as an integrated retail precinct.”

The development has attracted high profile tenants including chocolatier Max Brenner, homewares and fashion retailer Ollie & Lloyd,

Woolworths, Healthworks gyms and Lorna Jane, who will launch their Active Living Room concept offering a combination of sports wear and an in-house café exclusively at Gasworks.

The site has also lured the Wine Emporium, Gurts Frozen Yogurt, Buzz Café, and hospitality royalty The Barakat and Moubarak Group with their new restaurant and bar, Hatch & Co. The Gasworks Plaza will be designed as a multiuse space, suitable for performances and public events, and by night will put on a series of unique chorerographed lighting displays.

Similar in style to South Bank, it will provide a

Labby’s Festival Forecast MARGAUX PARKER AND ABBY COLEMAN FROCK UP AT PINK MINT CHERMSIDE

What’s your best Grand Final memory? It was the 2006 win against Melbourne Storm. Initially I was more excited to see INXS, but when the Broncos ran on the field, I was more excited and nervous than I had ever been to see Corey play. When we flew back to Brisbane, a sea of maroon greeted us at the airport – it was surreal!

What are your thoughts on Mad Monday? Well, it’s getting better for me as the years go on and Corey is getting older (laughs) - now it only lasts for one day! This year the Broncos player’s partners are planning a get together of our own - maybe more like a nice long lunch - if you can’t beat them, join them I say!

Have you picked your dress for the Broncos Presentation Ball in October? Every year I leave it to the last minute so I might be organised this time and get something made. At the Dally M Ball there were three girls with exactly the same dress so us Broncos girls will discuss on facebook what each other is wearing so we don’t double up!

BRISBANE IS ABUZZ WITH SOME OF THE COUNTRY’S BIGGEST EVENTS AND B105’S LABBY, STAV & ABBY SHARE WHAT’S HOT AND HAPPENING IN THE CITY – AND THEIR LIVES – THIS SPRING.

BRISBANE FESTIVAL WILL LIGHT UP THE CITY FROM 7-28 SEPTEMBER AND ONE OF THE EVENT HIGHLIGHTS WILL BE THE LASER AND SPECIAL EFFECTS SHOW SANTOS GLNG CITY OF LIGHTS.

For those of checking it out for the first time, I have four vital tips for you..

1. Before you leave the house, screenshot the map on your iPhone so you know where you’re going (maps available at brisbanefestival. com.au). You want to know the quickest way out when it’s all over!

2. If you’re trying to save a few bucks, you can bring your own food, so there’s no need to feel a bit dodgy by smuggling it in. But if you’re a bit lazy like me, there are some awesome food and beverage places on site.

3. Get down to South Bank early for the best possible vantage point.

Two great spots are the Santos

“Are you tired of doing whatever you want whenever you want?

Sick of having disposable income to spend on clothes, alcohol, and dining out?

Is your over-active social life bringing you down?

Why not become a parent?

When you become a parent all that annoying weekend partying you’ve been doing stops!

No longer will you have to pretend to enjoy hanging out with

GLNG Lounge on the Cultural Forecourt or anywhere along the Clem Jones Promenade.

4.

Leave the car at home. There will be a ton of road closures throughout the festival period.

Additional public transport will be running so save yourself the stress of trying to find a park… plus, it’s great if you want to have a few wines!

You won’t have to fret about what exotic holiday photos to put up on Facebook - your baby’s daily routine is the only status update you’ll ever need again!

defining ‘paramedical’

spring trends

TOO OFTEN PARAMEDICAL skin practitioners are misinterpreted as mainstream beauticians and their services regarded as ‘over priced’.

The qualifications and experience held by a practitioner is vast and years of study are needed to acquire such status.

Their main purpose in the medical industry is to tailor and implement a treatment plan for your skin, which is results driven and works with your skin’s natural processes. They can also prescribe medical grade products and treatments that offer a holistic service for faster recovery and permanent results including advanced therapy, maintenance, anti-ageing treatments, and more.

Whether your skin has been affected by trauma, medical procedure including surgery, skin conditions, or you just want to achieve optimum skin health, a paramedical practitioner is the best option.

Book your free consultation for the results you’ve always wanted – guaranteed!

STUDIES INDICATE THAT massage therapy during pregnancy can reduce anxiety and symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches, and improve labor outcomes as well as newborn mental, emotional and physical health.

Your growing belly increases the curve of your lower back, causing pain and putting pressure on your joints. You’ll find that massage can reduce and even alleviate these problems.

Massage can assist with: • Increasing circulation and reducing stress.

• Offering relief for weight-bearing joints.

• Providing relief for headaches, backaches, stiff necks, swelling, and even sciatica.

• Proper posture to help prevent future postural imbalances.

• Increasing oxygen and nutrients to the mother and baby.

• Stabilising hormone levels.

• Increasing flexibility of muscles, which will result in an easier birth.

Sounds like a good time for a massage, huh?

SPRING IS THE perfect time to let the buds and blooms of the season inspire your decorating and planning. As we all head out of the winter hibernation, the freshness of spring also calls for outdoor fun! Simple styling ideas will help create a great soiree. Think striped umbrellas, spring bulb flowers, timber tables and colourful linen, all of which help build a fuss-free look embodying the essence of springtime.

In terms of trends for this season, we are seeing a surge of all things pastel! And thankfully, this trend is now hot property in retail shops as well. Pastels work in beautifully with timber pieces. Hot tip: pinks, daffodil yellow and blue palettes are looking to be the most popular for this spring season. Moreton Hire’s heritage tables are also proving very popular with spring brides. With their white timber legs and ply top, they can be used individually or pushed together for a long lunch feel.

treatment with foam

presenting your property

what is fibromyalgia?

IT MAY SURPRISE you to learn that the use of injections to cure varicose veins dates back more than 100 years. In 1942 a physician named Orbach experimented with the idea of turning a sclerosant solution into froth before injection – a method that increased the efficacy of treatment by five times. Fifty years later another physician named Cabrera went a step further by converting a sclerosant solution into foam.

Ultrasound then began to be introduced to guide the injection of sclerosants directly into the source of varicose veins beneath the skin. A positive characteristic of sclerosant when it is in the form of foam (unlike solution) is that it is seen and can be tracked on-screen. This allows the doctor to follow the movement of the sclerosant and target it more precisely.

Foam acts like a plug pushing the blood away and internally lathering the vein wall. This means that there are less treatment sessions required that would be needed to treat the area using liquid Sclerotherapy.

IF YOU’RE SELLING this spring, one of the best pieces of advice relates to the presentation of your property. Presentation is critical to the selling process as it directly contributes to how buyers feel about your home. Investing a little time and money upfront to get this right can result in a $5,000 to $50,000 upside.

Presentation counts at two crucial stages of marketing. If your property looks fantastic in photos used for advertising, more buyers will be enticed to inspect your home. Great presentation helps people imagine themselves living there.

You can enhance the appeal of your property at very little cost and with a bit of old-fashioned elbow grease.

• The facade: dirty windows, grimy external walls, overgrown gardens and broken fences are major turn-offs.

• Repairs and modern touches: look for chipped paint, cracked tiles and stains.

• De-clutter: less clutter enables the true space of your home to be appreciated.

FIBROMYALGIA IS A disorder that causes muscle pain and fatigue. People with fibromyalgia have “tender points” on the neck, shoulders, back, hips, arms, and legs and other symptoms, such as: • Trouble sleeping • Morning stiffness and headaches • Painful menstrual periods • Tingling or numbness in hands and feet • Problems with thinking and memory While the causes of fibromyalgia are unknown, it has been linked to: • Stressful or traumatic events • Repetitive injuries • Severe Illness More than 80 percent of people diagnosed with fibromyalgia are women, most during middle age.

Fibromyalgia can be hard to treat, so it’s important to find a doctor who is familiar with the disorder and its treatment. Many GP’s, general physicians, musculoskeletal physicians or rheumatologists can treat fibromyalgia.

outdoor entertaining

what else can I do?

dermapen treatments

THE WINTER MONTHS are leaving us behind and that means it’s time to get to work freshening up your outdoor entertaining areas. Below are reasons why people prefer to use a professional external cleaner: • Your outdoor area falls into disuse over winter - that’s up to three months of grime, mould, and dirt.

• In the patio area, focus needs to be on the ceiling, walls and floor before thinking about furnishings.

• Tracks, screens, and other tricky areas are easily overlooked.

• For hard-to-reach areas like shade sails and mould from pathways, it’s better not to take risks, but to leave it to professionals who will not only complete the job thoroughly, but also safely.

Lastly, if choosing to hire the services of an external cleaner, look to hire one which is both professional, competitively priced, and knows their market well. It will save you time and money!

GOING THE EXTRA step for someone to make their day better should be a daily personal goal.

Because it is so rare these days, it is so easy to spot when it happens.

In our household for example, Mum can drop off, work, pick up, drop off again, pick up again, cook, and be seen by our three kids (and husband) starting the dishes without a murmur from the rest of us.

Parenting should instil initiative and recognise it when it occurs. Great teams have it naturally.

As each member gets their role down pat, they develop spare capacity which when channeled back into the team’s progress makes it better for everyone – or at worst, more fun.

It’s when spare capacity is misused that teams breakdown, whether they are work, family or sport.

One-percenters (i.e., the extra little tasks people can do without being asked) are always talked about in sporting teams but it seems you need to be taught them these days (and probably paid for executing them).

Have a go – try one effort each day to assist somewhere - you will be a legend.

UNLIKE ANYTHING YOU have tried before, the latest cosmetic treatment to hit the headlines is achieving astounding results. Kim Kardashian swears by the treatment.

Dermapen’s advanced technology uses multiple needles that vibrate rapidly to create thousands of microinjuries to the skin each second. This stimulates natural collagen reproduction, triggering repair and fast results.

outdoor living spaces

shoestring marketing

you are what you eat!

EMPHASIS ON INDOOR/OUTDOOR living is an integral part of quality design for Queensland homes. Any great space is underpinned by great design and finding balance between aesthetics and functionality.

If you’re looking to add value to your outdoor space, try to focus on some of these points: • A quality timber deck made from Australian hardwood adds value and warmth.

• Shading your deck from the elements is a good idea and allows it to be used more frequently.

• Water is synonymous with peace and tranquillity. A fully landscaped pool, spa, or simple water feature all add value to a home.

• Landscaping is an aspect many homeowners do not pay enough attention to. The front yard is usually the first thing people see. Tip – less is more. Don’t over plant and use natives where applicable.

Enjoy spring and your new outdoor living space.

MANY SMALL BUSINESSES feel financially squeezed and cut marketing strategies until they can afford it. The trouble is, without marketing, how can you gain new business?

Marketing needn’t be expensive. In this digital age, it’s easy to research and run cost-effective campaigns that start small but grow as you do.

Here are a few tips when you’re marketing by your bootstraps.

1. Know your market – do your homework, be very clear who and where your customers are so you can go get them.

2. Build your brand – generating great content for your website and social media can instantly make you look successful which is the first step towards actual success.

3. Network like a demon – spread the good word about your business creating evangelists to become your brand ambassadors.

You never know who you might meet at an event or where it can take you.

LIFE CAN BE such a whirlwind at times that when it gets a little hectic my healthy eating is first to go. If leading a healthy, active life isn’t in your plan, it reflects on your face. Now, I’m no nutritionist, but I know what works for me.

• I listen to my body and eat when I’m hungry, even when it comes to certain foods.

• When I eat well and exercise I feel confident in my own skin.

• I stick to the 70/30 rule: eat clean, green and lean 70% of the time and lap up 30% of indulgence.

• Never leave home without a Glowing Green Smoothie; a mix of vegetables and fruit to keep you full and give you a daily dose of nutrition.

Apart from your regular visits to b clinic for your no-trace face cosmetic injectable treatments and a daily skincare regime, being healthy has stood the test of time as the number one ageold beauty tip!

TAKE THE HASSLE OUT OF GETTING HOME WITH SCOOT 2 YOU. RELOCATING TO THE Gold Coast after living in London for many years, Rick Thorn was not used to battling long queues and wait times for a taxi.

The issue came to a head when after a night out in Broadbeach, Rick was unable to find a taxi home and ended up falling asleep on a park bench.

So in 2007, Rick and his business partner James McFarland set the Scoot 2 You wheels in motion, devising a unique personalised driver service to people all over Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Byron Bay and surrounds.

The service allows clients to drive to an event or function, and then be driven home in their own car by one of the drivers - for little more than a one-way taxi.

Bookings are required just 90 minutes before pickup, and the driver will arrive on a scooter which is then neatly folded and stored away in your vehicle. Clients can either call or email to request a particular time, and are then sent an email confirmation outlining the cost of the trip.

Rick says since the start of the business, he has had

more than 5000 clients use the service, and has recently opened a Brisbane-based office to tend to the needs of his growing clientele.

In addition to the scooter service, the company can also provide a personal driver service suitable for corporates who may need to catch up on important phone calls or attend to emails enroute to their destination – in your own car or a limousine.

Sign up as a Chauffeur club member for $50, and you will receive 10 percent off all bookings, plus access to exclusive offers including free bottles of wine and discounts at restaurant partners across Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

POLO

WE GET THE LATEST TRENDING TIPS FOR A DAY AT THE POLO FROM WESTFIELD CHERMSIDE STYLIST CHRISTIE NICOLAIDES. IN THE FASHION stakes, the polo falls somewhere between a day at the races and a glam picnic in the park. When dressing for the polo, take an easy, chic and elegant approach. Opt for simple silhouettes, classic cuts and luxurious fabrics. The polo is a great opportunity to make a statement so follow my top five fashion tips to look glam on the day.

1

The ultimate outfit

Avoid stilettos

Sunglasses are essential

3

A fabulous pair of oversized sunglasses will add a touch of glamour. If statement sunglasses aren’t your accessory of choice, the Ray Ban aviator is fail proof.

4

Wittner Irri wedge $149.95 Wittner

Headwear is not a necessity cessity Unlike the races, headwear ar is optional. Leave fascinatorss for the races. Wide brim hatss are a chic choice. Not only will it add da glamorous touch to your floral maxi or simple sundress, it will protect you from the e sun.

LOVE IT

2

There are no strict rules when it comes to the polo. Whether you go the preppy look in a silk blouse and tailored shorts or prefer a casual shift dress with statement jewellery, ery, keep it simple.

R Remember you will be in a paddock (of sorts) and a even if you’re in a marquee, these are generally grassed. To avoid the sinking feeling, opt for a glamorous pair of flats or wedges.

Miu Miu sunglasses $440, Sunglass Hut

5

Invest in an oversized bag or tote It could be a long day, so naturally you will need a bag that will hold the necessities. It’s all about the statement bag this season. Whether you go for a graphic print tote a bright coloured satchel or a classic leather shoulder bag make sure it is big enough to hold all of the essentials you will need on the day.

THIS ONE’S ON WESTFIELD CHERMSIDE! GET READY FOR summer with one of four Napoleon Perdis NP SET Palettes: Day-To-Night, Red Carpet Set, Glam Set or Rainbow Eye Palette. All you have to do is:

BRISBANE’S KELLIE ALDERMAN CHATS TO TWO FASHION NEWCOMERS WHOSE STARS SHONE AT LAST MONTH’S BRISBANE MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION FESTIVAL. THERE HAS BEEN a lot of chat about what makes up Brisbane style of late. It was the topic of a lively panel discussion that was part of the festival and the postshow topic of choice among the front-row crowd.

Two emerging designers who seem to instinctively know what Brisbane style is and how to deliver it are Tracey Watkins, from Teneriffe-based White Label Noba, and Daniel Moore, of Fortitude Valley’s DMoore label.

Tracey, a former interior designer, showed her new Beach to Bar collection and it was one of the highlights of MBFF. “We are all about lifestyle, I like to work with silk and cotton; it’s perfect for our climate,” she says.

Tracey’s three-year old label includes nude, black and a seasonal color, meaning the pieces always work with each other and past collections.

“I always start with a core piece; this season it was the crocheted poncho because I’m a bit of a hippy at heart, and work from there. I do one or two prints and everything can be worked for day into night looks.”

This season she has added a diffusion range of white cotton beach wear with neon embroidery called Love Love, as well as a collection of colorful beaded sandals, clutch bags and necklaces.

Daniel Moore is the man behind the DMoore label and Alter Ego shop on Brunswick Street.

While last month’s turn on the MBFF runway was his first as a designer, he had experienced the event from backstage in his former job, assisting top designer, Paul Hunt.

Daniel says his collection of quirky day and oneoff evening wear was inspired by “a mash up of Maria from The Sound of Music going into Marie Antoinette’s castle and taking all the fabrics to make her clothes,” he says.

The original flavour and individuality of his designs prove he is a bright new name to watch.

WANTING A FULLER picture of the work South Family Jewellers does, Style chatted with owner Alison Paterson about the store’s one-off pieces and workshop wonders.

Tell us a little about what you do at South Family Jewellers. We are a boutique jewellery store famous for unique and beautiful displays and one-off pieces of jewellery. We also have a comprehensive in-store workshop, where our jeweller carries out work ranging from minor repairs to complex remakes or remodelling of customers’ precious pieces.

What happens in the workshop? Behind the scenes in the workshop is where design, manufacture, restoration and production of quality jewellery take place with care and excellent workmanship.

Tell us a little about your team. Stuart and I own the store and he works behind the scenes

where I am in store as manager, finetuning the day-to-day operation. We have been fortunate to have on staff two very experienced jewellers: Leigh and Robert.

Jill has a wealth of knowledge about gemstones and is our expert pearl and bead restringer.

Margaret is our sales lady who is very helpful with gift dilemmas and Judy, who has been with us for over 10 years, also assists with choosing and purchasing our unique pieces.

What do you love most about the jewellery business? I enjoy catching up with our regular customers who come in for a chat and love adding to their collection. Many people tell us that they feel their outfit is complete once they are wearing our beautiful pieces.

Jill, Judy, Alison, Margaret, and Leigh.

STYLE | FASHION FASHION DESIGNER VANESSA HOE WILL JOIN THE JUDGING PANEL FOR THIS YEAR’S IPSWICH FASHION FESTIVAL.

To p Designer, Leigh B uchanan wi ll be judging new talent at the gala event.

ipswich frocks up HEAD TO THIS YEAR’S IPSWICH FASHION FESTIVAL FOR YOUR CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE THE EXCITEMENT AND ALLURE OF A TOP FASHION EVENT. MOVE OVER NEW York, London, Milan and Paris – it’s all about Ipswich this season.

Fashion folk will be grabbing their travel totes and heading to Queensland’s oldest provincial city for this year’s Ipswich Fashion Festival.

The two-day event, which kicks off October 25, promises to provide plenty of excitement and entertainment for those who want to celebrate fashion and design in style.

And when one of Queensland’s brightest fashion designers is involved - you know it’s going to be good.

Brisbane based designer, Leigh Buchanan, who was a contestant on Project Runway Australia, will be one of the judges at the gala evening – which will showcase student designs on the catwalk.

But with a frenzy of fabulous new talent emerging – the design diva knows he will have his work cut out for him. “As both my parents were teachers, I guess it’s just in my blood to want to

help and encourage people,” Leigh said.

“It’s always an honour to be invited to these kind of events - and I’ve heard there will be Champagne.”

Along with the gala night, the fashion festival will include designer and ready-to-wear fashion show, Queensland bridal designs and a vintage and retro-rockabilly fashion fiesta.

Starting his fashion career pinning up hems at Just Jeans, Leigh said the next crop of on-the-rise designers need to continually put themselves “out there”.

“I think competitions and fashion events like the Ipswich Fashion Festival are integral for young designers’’ he said.

“Unless you’ve got money to burn, getting started in this industry is next to impossible without publicity, and getting your designs seen by as many people as possible is vital.’’

Since his stint on project runway, Leigh has

You first got into accounting before moving into fashion. Why did you make the move? Fashion is so much more fun.

What do you love about fashion and designing? Being able to create a complete new concept and look for our clients for their special events.

Do you think Queensland is becoming more fashion conscious?

Yes there is a great sense of fashion finally hitting Queensland’s streets. I love seeing the up-and-coming younger fashion designers from Brisbane particularly.

As one of the judges at the Ipswich fashion festival, what will you be looking for? Uniqueness and style.

Why are events like this important for young emerging designers? So young designers can get a sense of the fashion industry and to get their ideas out there.

What is trending this spring/ summer? Brights again - nothing black.

dressed people such as Tina Arena and French actress Emmanuelle Beart. He has written ‘worst dressed’ columns and has made the occasional wedding gown.

He is now a freelance designer for companies such as the Queensland Theatre Company and Opera Queensland.

THIS YEAR, GOLDWELL posed a challenge to find the most creative trend setters in the form of the Goldwell ColorZoom Challenge 2013. The challenge called for creative colour work and offered stylists the opportunity to promote themselves throughout the international hairdressing scene. The criteria? Interpret a beauty trend, use Goldwell colours in an innovative way, and harmonise the cut and colour for maximum impact.

David Murry Salon colourist Stephanie Clissold submitted the stunning entry (pictured), taking out the Global Creative Colorist silver medal for Australia.

Stephanie’s styling combined creative colour fusion and an edgy on-trend cut, resulting in a stand-out entry that perfectly embodies both the David Murry Salon brand.

“The silver-medal colour produced for this challenge is just an example of the standard and styling that walks out our door every day; it’s not something that we merely produce for challenges,” Stephanie said.

wrap up

bulimba festival

SUNDAY AUGUST 25 BROUGHT FESTIVAL ENTHUSIASTS, FASHION FIENDS, AND BULIMBA LOCALS TOGETHER IN CELEBRATION OF THE RSL BULIMBA FESTIVAL. FRESH FOOD WAS on hand among the bustling market stalls and an exciting line up of artists kept the crowd entertained throughout the day. Style was lucky enough to host the Style Fashion Stage, which combined the creative collaborative efforts of B hair and The Glamour Bar (not to mention some Bulimba locals as models!) and showcased the latest looks from local retailers Frankie & the Fox, Side Street, The New Wardrobe, Boo Radley, Fuel Clothing, Je’Taime Lingerie, Lorna Jane, My First Room and Little Avenue. Safe to say, the day was bustling from start to finish!

slicked and sleek

FRESH GLOWING MAKEUP AND SLEEK STYLING COMPLETED THE MODELS’ LOOKS.

IT WAS ALL about straight, sleek hair for the models, who were primed by the meticulous stylists at B hair. Their evolving salon boasts longstanding staff and a reputation of more than 13 years in the area, making them the perfect collaborators in a festival showcasing Bulimba.

B hair owners Tracey Johnston and Chris Pashan have been in business together for six years, upholding their strong, devoted client base of local business owners, people and families.

Tracey loves Bulimba, saying it feels like an extended family and Chris is proud of the diverse services the salon offers. “People choose B hair because of its environment, value for money, and traditional service,” Chris said. The models from The Mum’s Diary 2014, local business owners, and volunteers sported slicked ponytails adding a final luxe touch to the affair.

runway ready makeup INSPIRED BY THE transition from spring to summer, The models’ makeup took on the concept of ‘fresh, natural and c glowing’. The Glamour Bar’s g Holly Kur said she loved that H these looks are high fashion th but still wearable for every day. b ““Fresh, glowing skin, neutral bronze eyes, berry lips and a b sslightly flushed cheek create a look that is suitable for all sskin tones and perfect for any occasion,” she said. o “An essential ingredient to gorgeous, glowing skin is to g use a good illuminator with your u foundation.” fo Holly’s top beauty tip for ssoft luscious lips is ‘Lansinoh’ cream that you can get from any c pharmacy, which she says is far p more nourishing and hydrating than paw paw ointment and will soften the lips minutes after applying.

The Leg Vein Doctor makes treati ng varic ose veins a ‘wal k in, walk out’ pr ocedure.

STRIPPING NO-NO FOR THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH VEIN STRIPPING, HERE’S THE LOW DOWN. VEIN STRIPPING IS a treatment used to combat varicose vein disease involving an invasive surgical process. Surgical stripping is unfortunately plagued by very high rates of varicose vein regrowth after surgery. The reason for this is not due to poor surgical technique but rather a problem referred to as “neovascularisation”- where the varicose veins simply grow back.

There also tends to be a burden involved for patients having their veins stripped, as they require hospitalisation because surgery is performed under a general anaesthetic. The risk of damage to nerves and the lymphatic system is also higher following surgical stripping in comparison to Endovenous Laser Therapy and Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy.

In July 2013, the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) released groundbreaking clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and management of varicose veins.

The NICE guidelines emphasise that surgical stripping of varicose veins has become superseded by Endovenous Laser Therapy and Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy. In layman’s terms, Endovenous Laser Therapy uses heated lasers to seal larger veins shut, making it a 62

0913_BM_ p62-63.indd 62

DR NICHOLAS KEMP

‘walk in-walk out’ procedure lasting about an hour with minimal pain and after-treatment.

Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy (UGS) is ideal for complex varicose veins and those that have recurred after surgery. The source of these veins is often hidden deep under the skin but can be seen on an ultrasound, allowing the needle to be accurately targeted for maximum results.

Endovenous Lasers should not be confused with Surface Lasers, which are beamed directly onto the skin to treat surface veins. Surface Lasers are inappropriate in the treatment of varicose veins.

While the jargon can sometimes be a little confusing, what is obvious is that vein stripping is no longer a necessary form of treatment when more effective, less painful options are available.

The Leg Vein Doctor is dedicated to offering these new procedures at their clinic in Toowong.

An initial consultation with Dr Kemp including an ultrasound costs $150 (medicare rebate available) and you will receive a personalised treatment plan valid for 12 months.

pan asian passage

w hat t o wear

LUCY STEPHENS TACKLES THE FLAVOURS OF THE FAREAST AT NEW PAN ASIAN JOINT, CHOP CHOP CHANGS. THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT Asian cuisine that immediately affects all senses for me. Taste buds salivate, eyes twitch, and that unmistakeable tummy grumble turns into a full-blown growl.

That was the kind of response the menu at new Pan Asian restaurant Chop Chop Changs in West End elicited when I headed in one Sunday night.

The space itself has a casual, eating hall feel, with a portrait of Chop Chop Chang himself (the first chimp to be catapaulted into the cosmos) presiding over the space.

The menu is innovative with an obvious investment in its conception. It takes you on a rickshaw journey through various parts of Asia, from the overflowing street stalls of Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia, to the bustling Hawker centres in the heart of Singapore.

Drinks-wise, you’ve got Asian ales alongside some Aussie beers, wines and a fancier cocktail and ice tea list, featuring some enticing concoctions including Chilli & Ginger Beer Mojito

and Vietnamese Coffee Martini.

As a self-confessed Asian fare fanatic, the meal decision process was positively anxietyprovoking. We settled on a green papaya salad, barbecue whole Mooloolaba king prawns, twice cooked sticky beef ribs, and crispy roast pork in an aromatic stock with Gai Lan and egg noodles.

It was a banquet of fresh, zesty flavours that had me reminiscing about my intrepid travels through the South East Asian jungles… (or was it lying on a beach in Koh Samui?)

Either way, Chop Chop Changs is an unpretentious, tasty offering that has made its way into both my heart and my pocket. I’ll be back.

SATSIFY YOUR PRIMAL URGES AT PRIMAL PANTRY. IF YOU HAVEN’T been living in a cave for the last 12 months, it’s likely you’ve heard of the Paleo Diet.

Strictly speaking, it’s a diet that revolves around the sort of food Neanderthal man consumed – preagriculture, (and pre- just about everything else), meaning unprocessed, non-grain foods, fresh meats, fish, wild fruits, eggs and nuts.

It’s not so much a way of losing weight, as a way of life, that’s rapidly gaining popularity the world over. Enter Primal Pantry; a café/dry stores shop bordering Newstead and Teneriffe catering to the primal urges with tasty, caveman style courses that you don’t need to be a health freak to enjoy.

I headed in one lunch time, and the place was positively buzzing. After checking out the menu my colleague opted for Moroccan meatballs with green goddess sauce and a Monkey Fuel smoothie (almond milk, bananas, cinnamon and nutmeg). I ordered the special barramundi with a fennel and

(coconut) cream sauce and a green tea. Both were fresh, and delightfully tasty.

One of the best things about Primal Pantry is that despite its adherence to a healthy approach, the menu doesn’t come across as trying too hard.

It’s open seven days, and I’ll be heading back to try their breakfast menu, in particular the incredible sounding cinnamon pancakes with grilled figs and pistachio crumb (yum!).

From the upper rib cage area of the cow, this cut is flavourful with good marbling, making it a truly premium cut. Tender and tasty, this cut is best served with a medium bodied red wine.

OP RIB ON THE BONE This is a premium cut with delicate marbling making it the king of steaks. A joint cooked on the bone will always have a deeper flavour intensity than one cooked without. Again, a medium bodied to fuller bodied red wine works best.

Sirlion Wagyu Rump

PETITE EYE FILLET 150 day grain finished, this cut is also known as the tenderloin and comes from beneath the ribs, next to the backbone. It is one of the tenderest and leanest cuts, with a lighter flavour. Enjoy with a Pinot or Cabernet Sauvignon.

SIRLOIN From the upper part of the animal, this cut is robust with an earthy palette.

Great for barbecuing and an ideal steak matched up with a Merlot or Shiraz.

This highly marbled steak has an intensely delicious caramel flavour. Opt for a premium aged red wine to partner with this premium cut, or for something different, try a malty, dark ale.

THE CONFECTORY IS TURNING THE HUMBLE CUPCAKE ON ITS HEAD. BY LUCY STEPHENS.

Buy one coffee, get one FREE!

AFTER MASTERING THE art of the cupcake, Cakestar’s Jade Lipton decided she needed a new challenge. Inspired by the gourmet ice cream and dessert bar trend in New York, the cupcake Queen is set to add dessert deity to her title, with the opening of The Confectory.

Set alongside her much-loved Cake Star store, The Confectory is a decadent dessert utopia catering to the cravings of sweet-tooths.

Jade wanted the chance to satisfy her creative urges, “I felt like I had done all I could with cupcakes,” Jade says. This allows me to continue to bake my cupcakes, but to also try something new.”

Starting with a freshly baked cupcake or cookie as a base, customers are encouraged to select a scoop of Colin James gelato, a home-made syrup, topped by a delicious ‘crumble’, including selections such as toasted maple muesli, Milo crunch, or rocky road, and then completed with the cupcake top, or cookie!

Jade bakes all cupcakes and cookies from scratch using premium ingredients such as Maleny Dairies Milk. The awardwinning gelato, made from Colin James Fine Foods also comes from Maleny, with some bespoke flavours created especially for The Confectory including musk, red velvet, and lemon meringue pie, as well as a range of dairy-free sorbets.

Jade says The Confectory also serves up some sweet breakfast treats, Campos Coffee and will open late Friday and Saturday nights.

A word of warning though – one spoonful of these mesmerizing sweets, and you’ll be hooked!

Conditions: Valid till 30th Sept 2013. Both drinks must be purchased in the same transaction. The second drink to be of equal or lesser value before discount.

You must mention or produce this ad to redeem the offer. Offer available to each individual once only. Valid at MacArthur Central store only.

Sunkissed Summer FEATURE breaking the habit CLAIRE PARVIZ REFLECTS ON HER ATTEMPTS TO SWAP HIBERNATION FOR HEALTHY HABITS WITH A 21-DAY WINTER CHALLENGE AT FUNCTION WELL. WHEN IT COMES to the colder months, it’s easy to hibernate and let health and fitness fall by the wayside.

The team at Function Well Personalised Health and Fitness Centre put a call to arms, recruiting their members to accelerate their approach to fitness and form healthier habits, with a 21 day challenge combining a tailored fitness program and Paleo nutritional guidelines.

Function Well members could track their activity with the use of the MyZone belt. Worn under the breast bone, the belt measured exertion based on the maximum heart rate, and expressed it as a percentage.

The time frame of 21 days allowed clients to develop a habit and hopefully change their lifestyle for the better. The winner of the challenge was not only leaner and fitter, but they also received two nights at the Shertaton Mirage and a Mercedes for the weekend donated by Mercedes Benz Brisbane.

Style Editor Claire Parviz signed up to the challenge to see if she could shake up her winter health routine.

Don’t mess wit h I’m a kick-boxing me! machine.

Day 1:

Day 6:

Day 12:

I’ve turned up and my trainer Les says he needs to assess my health. He weighs me (eek) and measures the girth of my biceps (huge!), waist (tiny), hips and thighs.

Next, Les tells me to gear up for one of the most feared machines at Function Well – the Prowler. Little does he know I’m a huge fan!

I’m confronted by my first challenge – a degustation dinner at Bucci.

My first success is avoiding the breadsticks.

I attempt to eat mostly meat and veg, and have a bottle of sparkling San Pellegrino with each dish. The tiramisu arrives – and as delicious as it looks, I manage to not eat a single spoonful!

It’s my daughter’s 21st birthday party, so I decide I’m going to allow myself a drink – or two. By 3am, I’m dancing up a storm as I down Espresso Martinis. At least I’m exercising, right?

Day 3:

Day 10:

While my usual diet consists of Champagne and canapés, I’ve decided to give the challenge my best shot, stocking up on some Paleo groceries suggested on the shopping list. That means no chocolate, no corn chips – and no alcohol! This is going to be really tough!

I’ve had a big day at work and not really feeling like a workout, but I push through. After hooking me up to my MyZone belt, Les has me rowing, running and planking like a mad woman! I’m motivated by the results that my belt measures – my heart rate stays above 80 percent for the whole workout!

Day 21: Despite having laxed my alcohol restrictions, I’m still sticking to a mostly Paleo diet. I haven’t made it to the gym as much as I’d like, but I’ve been exercising in the afternoons along the river. I’ve definitely lost some weight, and I’m most proud of my ability to stay off the alcohol for 12 days. As someone who’s often out four or five nights a week it’s a massive achievement!

jet pilots of beauty THERE ARE PLENTY OF SCARE TACTICS THROWN ABOUT THE MEDIA IN REGARDS TO INTENSE PULSED LIGHT TECHNOLOGY. IPL MACHINES ARE the aeroplanes of the hair removal and skin rejuvenation world. They’re fast and effective, usually expensive and vastly impressive. However, the best ones are those with hordes of safety features. After all, there’s no sense in intentionally endangering yourself.

Not all IPL machines have fantastic safety features; some don’t even have the basics. IPL machines, if not correctly fitted with adequate shielding, will emit unsafe levels of radiation.

Cheaper machines also carry the risk of burning skin and causing other related damage. Brazilian Beauty employ the latest IPL model, which causes significantly less discomfort than other machines, is three times quicker, and is FDA and TGA approved.

More important than the safety additions is the pilot. If you’re getting into a jet, you’re going to want a highly trained, experienced and extremely professional person at the controls.

At Brazilian Beauty, all of our therapists trained in IPL are fighter pilots. They are extremely efficient and highly trained. Also, much like fighter pilots, their training doesn’t stop when they leave flight school. Our therapists constantly receive updates on the latest applications for IPL hair and skin technology and are always eager to expand their knowledge and skill.

Put your IPL hair removal and skin rejuvenation treatments in our hands and you can be sure of first class results, safety and service.

T RACING TRIFECTA CREATE THE PERFEC ND-OUT EYES, WITH HEADPIECE, STA AND LUSCIOUS LIPS. www.stylemagazines.com.au

0913_BM_ p78-79.indd 79

RACING SEASON HAS arrived so creating the perfect trifecta is all about balancing your headpiece, eye area and lips.

The prediction is extravagant fascinators, so opt for a statement pout as your eyes will be slightly shadowed. For lasting lips, nourish them with eye cream and then apply your lip liner to the whole area, this will give your look staying power. We love our Micro Bisque Lipstick for that sumptuous saturation and don’t forget a lick of our Super Pomegranate Gloss. To avoid smudging, drink from a straw throughout the day.

The ‘IT’ brow of the moment has defined, dropped top lines and has more rebellious growth underneath so they still need taming! Think a little bit boyish.

Rule No.1: Set brows in place using a moistened fine-angle brush and our duo wax and powder Brow Sculpt by The Brow Bar; this will help coat the

hairs for endurance and create a stronger pigment.

For a polished photo finish, apply two coats of our Brow Set. Keep the eye makeup minimal with sultry shadows, instead work on enhancing those lashes and flaunt volumes of falsies. Our Brow Bar Long Weekend Lashes are the way to go, with lashings of our sweat-proof SuperWear Mascara!

For radiant skin, live by these 3 essentials: Prime.

Blot. Spritz. Always prime before applying a sheer foundation and use The Brow Bar Invisible Blotting Powder to control excess shine (crucial to keep in your clutch!). Add a flush of colour to the cheeks with our Crème Wear Blush in Afterglow and a hint of our Mineral Matte Bronzer. A light spritz of hydrating mist will keep you looking fresh as the sun sets.

“It’s all about fresh eyebrows finished in record time. We all have a personal best eyebrow shaping time and we always deliver a shapely, clean look,” said Chloe, Manager of Brow Sista.

“The in-store atmosphere is always really upbeat and lively, which is part of the reason why we wear chic workout gear – our speedy services get your heart rate up! Plus, our clients are busy, energetic and sporty women, so it’s always good to catch up on the latest gym classes and clothes,” Chloe continued.

“Our loyal clientele are always returning because we offer great services without that high-end price tag. I’ve handpicked my staff

as well; I always believe in hiring women with a positive attitude because you can’t teach them that, but you can teach them eyebrow skills.”

“Our Brow Bootcamp is pretty rigorous and just like any other fitness regime – a bit of work and of course maintenance – so I like to teach my clients how to keep their beautiful new brow in shape at home, we really focus on education.”

“Brow Sista is a welcoming and comfortable environment – I mean we’re all in our gym gear, so I think that’s what the real difference is, who we are as therapists and the time-savvy services we offer.”

WHEN LIFE KNOCKED Anna Muscat down, she had two choices – to stay down or get up and fight.

The 39 year old was successfully working as a public servant, when she lost her job during work cuts.

But instead of letting it get her down, the mum of three said her redundancy inspired her to kickstart her dream job.

“I wanted to become a group fitness and personal trainer for some time and was planning on studying part-time while I worked,” Anna said.

“But when I was made redundant, it gave me the perfect opportunity to start studying for both my certificates full time whilst seeking work.”

After she became an instructor, Anna said finding her perfect job was easy.

“I’ve been a member at Fernwood Fitness in Everton Park since 2007,” she said.

“I first became a member at Fernwood because I liked the idea of feeling comfortable working out in an all-female gym, trying different classes and

also having the opportunity to make friends.”

When she found out she was working at Fernwood, Anna said she was “over the moon”.

“I think my job is perfect,’’ she said.

“Getting to meet and greet, care for and assist women to feel fit and healthy on a daily basis makes me feel so happy.”

Anna said she felt so inspired by seeing determined and brave women reach their target weight, fitness levels and goals.

“Being fit and healthy feels great. It’s empowering and invigorating,” she said.

“Now I am a personal trainer I want to work individually with members to reach their personal goals and become the person they want to be.

I feel happy and confident that I have the health and energy I need to manage my family and I want to see other ladies to feel the same way.”

Bob Antic

BOB ANTIC AND ANDY TOMIC FROM SPACE CONSTRUCTIONS TELL US ABOUT A PADDINGTON HOME’S LAVISH TRANSFORMATION TO HOST A WEDDING.

MOST CUSTOM DESIGNED projects are strongly influenced by the client’s desire to express their own specific design elements within their new home. With this custom project in Paddington, this was no exception. The client’s bold selection of materials and colours was significant to the project’s success as a quality high end home.

This home had a major role to play for an entire family, because it was to be the host and

venue for a wedding reception for 150 guests.

Of all the detail in this project, the need that was paramount was its completion at least one month prior to the reception.

The building project was situated on a sloping site with rocky and limited access.

Aside from the significant structural challenges a three storey inner city project can bring (multiple steel beams and columns weighing up to 300 kgs), it was satisfying to see, in its

completion, a home with truly striking qualities.

The combination and use of many different types of building materials both externally and internally are not only apparent, but also give the home interest and character, and ultimately made it the perfect reception venue for its guests.

YSEN, D JENNY NAHU FOR STEVE AN ESTYLE THAT CATION AND LIF IT WAS THE LO H. HAMILTON REAC DREW THEM TO

making its mark HAMILTON REACH’S BOUTIQUE APARTMENTS ARE RESONATING WITH BUYERS.

WATERMARQUE AND WATERMARQUE on the Park have obviously captivated buyers, with 89 percent and 72 percent of the landmark developments sold respectively.

Australand general manager Queensland Residential Division, Cameron Leggatt said that there is a healthy buyer appetite for lower density luxury apartment living in a sought-after location.

“Local buyers in particular understand the benefits and prestige of this riverfront location in one of Brisbane’s blue chip suburbs that is just minutes from the CBD,” he said.

It’s clear that the coveted location and lower density are matched only by the bespoke residences, which fuse liveability, functionality, and a prestige lifestyle.

“The apartments live up to buyer expectations of this spectacular setting with smart design options, high quality finishes and innovative extras for a superior lifestyle,” Cameron said.

For empty-nesters Steve and Jenny Nahuysen, it was location and lifestyle that drew them to Hamilton Reach.

“It was the only development project we looked at that really ticked all the boxes,” Jenny said, “We purchased a three-bedroom ground floor apartment with a courtyard, which is perfect for us because we have two small dogs, so they will have some room to run around.”

For Steve and Jenny, the real estate agent’s mantra “location, location, location” rang true.

“In the end it was the ability for us to be close to the CBD without feeling like we were.”

Construction is progressing well on the Watermarque North and South buildings, with completion expected by late September this year.

Sales office open seven days, 10am-5pm.
