SPRING IS THE perfect season to see our wonderful world show off its beauty. From last weekend at the beach to this morning’s run in the park, lately I’ve been surrounded (and amazed) by the natural world around me. So this month’s We Love spread is inspired by Mother Nature. I’m lusting over pieces that draw inspiration from the earthy colours and animal patterns we see in our exquisite world. Embrace these looks and let your inner earthling come out and roar!

artisan development SOUTH BRISBANE’S CANVAS IS TAKING SHAPE. CONSTRUCTION IS IN full swing at Pradella’s Canvas development at South Brisbane. Perched at the top of Boundary Street on one of the area’s most elevated sites, the iconic 16-level apartment building is set to transform South Brisbane’s skyline.

Canvas has attracted significant interest from savvy investors and owner-occupiers drawn to its architectural design, quality finishes, and attractive inner-city position. With the property already 70 percent sold, now is the ideal time to secure an apartment in this prime location, with enough time left to plan for a move with anticipated completion of the building midway through 2014.

Located in the heart of Brisbane’s premier arts and entertainment precinct of South Bank, QPAC, the Convention and Exhibition Centre, GoMA and the State Library and close to the CBD, Canvas

The apartments are designed to the highest standard, offering sweeping views of the CBD, Mt Coot-tha and the Brisbane River and featuring pendant lighting, stone bench tops, feature timber veneer shelving and butler sinks, with a choice of three colour schemes. A Sky Garden on level 11 includes a recreational pool, garden, theatre and barbeque facilities.

Once completed, Canvas will comprise 141 stunning one and two-bedroom apartments, priced from $346,000 for a one-bedroom apartment and $585,000 for a two-bedroom apartment.

What do you love about playing music?

On a daily basis I get to recreate some of the greatest works of art in mankind’s history. It’s an incredible privilege.

How long have you been playing the double bass, and playing with the QSO? I started playing the double bass at 10 and have been a permanent member of the orchestra since 2010 (contract since 2003).

What can we expect with the QSO’s pop culture orchestral trilogy? You get all the excitement of the big screen combined with the live and incredibly powerful sound of a full symphony orchestra. It will be fantastic!

You obviously wear tails for most of the performances with the QSO, but

how would you describe your style when you’re not performing? I am very regularly in business attire as required by the schools I teach at. As a consequence I definitely try to be comfortable at all times.

What’s your fashion mantra? Wear what you want, if you like your clothes and the way you dress you’ll always feel comfortable.

Any fashion faux pas? Despite my earlier comments, don’t wear velvet or shorts that expose too much. Or tights as pants.

Your most indulgent fashion purchase?

I’d have to say my Air Jordans from when I was 12. They cost over $300 then, but it was all the shop had that fit me. I promise.

WHEN IT COMES to essential health checks, it’s very easy to put them on the backburner.

Claire Parviz recently visited the Wesley Breast Clinic for her first ever check up with a group of women – all similar in age, and all having their very first breast screening.

For Claire and her friends, neglecting to get her first check up at age 40 was due largely to having a busy lifestyle, and a fear of what the results may contain.

But after the sister of a close friend who had never had a check-up was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer, she decided it was time to take action.

In operation for 31 years, The Wesley Breast Clinic has a worldclass reputation, providing a service for a spectrum of breast disorders.

Every year, the clinic provides

screening and diagnostic procedures to approximately 25,000 patients, with 300 to 400 cancers diagnosed.

Claire found herself at ease throughout the entire experience.

“It wasn’t scary at all. The staff are well-trained and welcoming. You get into your robes and wait together to have your screening, and then given your results the same day. This means that any anxiety about waiting for your results are alleviated.”

The women, who all had varying breast sizes (one with implants) were shown how to look for signs of breast cancers, given a mammogram, and penned in for routine reminders.

muscle-firing weight loss ENTRUST YOUR FITNESS GOALS TO GRAVITY ZONE’S GEORGINA WATSON. GEORGINA WATSON HAS not only been immersed in the industry for 25 years, she is constantly updating her knowledge and education to assist clients in their fitness journey.

“With health, things change all the time so I like to stay up to date and align with medical evidence,” says Georgina, who has studied psychology, exercise physiology and naturopathy for a well-rounded understanding of health, nutrition and the role metabolism plays.

While Whole Body Vibration has the potential to change your life, there are still some misconceptions surrounding the technology.

You’re getting the full benefits of a full body workout but the vibration plates cause your muscles to fire up so much that the workout is more intense, resulting in an exaggerated form of personal training that accelerates weight loss and the growth of lean muscle mass.

Whole Body Vibration technology is so versatile that Georgina is still developing new ways to utilise the machines eight years on.

More than anything, Georgina wants to help people find smarter strategies for sustainable weight loss and lifestyle management.

“65 percent of overweight or obese people don’t go to the gym. What I’m doing here is developing smart strategies to build lean muscle mass because when you build lean muscle mass, your metabolism goes up, you burn calories faster, and you can help stabilise blood glucose with eating plans – it’s a roll-on effect.”

Gravity Zone champions the education process SMART IS DEVELOPING and giving clients a clear understanding of healthy GEORGINA AN MUSCLE R BUILDING LE eating habits and a positive, sustainable lifestyle.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a busy professional short on time and in need of a quick, effective workout; a new mother in search of the best way to get your feminine, firm fit body back or have just always been body conscious and are now ready to get the physique you’ve always wanted; or even if you’re a super fit athlete and want to be at your peak - you will see the results you desire and more at my Whole Body Vibration Studio.

getting back to business BRIDGET GABITES SHARES HER REAL ESTATE EXPECTATIONS POST-ELECTION. I’M SURE I’M not the only one who was completely overwhelmed by the election marketing, and I am pleased it is now all over for another few years!

I have fielded a number of enquiries as to what I believe the change in Government will mean for the Real Estate market. As with anything in Real Estate it is always hard to predict given that house pricing and demand are both dependent on many factors. However I believe that the Australian public in general see this change as a positive step and this can only help to increase buyer confidence.

The number of homes for sale and interest rates are at record lows. Buyers are hotter than ever and keen to lock in a loan deal before rates

look to increase next year. Typically, a looming election tends to freeze the economy and real estate in particular because people prefer to wait and see what happens before making big financial decisions. But now – it’s game on!

Our buyer numbers entering the market postelection are already showing a strong increase from pre-election numbers and with the current under supply of homes on the market, many sales are happening above the expected selling price because buyers are competing.

So, while all the signs are pointing to blue skies and greener pastures for the market, what we can’t predict is how long the renewed enthusiasm will last and therefore we recommend that people

There are so many different fitness practices – what’s your personal preference? I employ the CrossFit methodology and a mix of boot camp or my own military training from when I was in the army. Mixing skill-sets is when you see results.

What do you think is the best formula for nutrition and exercise? You can’t train on a bad diet. I really hone in on the nutritional aspect. You need a well-balanced nutritional plan, five meals a day, protein, a good source of carbs and fats and don’t eat anything more than you need to sustain light exercise.

What does a life in the day of the Commando entail? I try to get my training out of the way in the morning, and eat as well as possible. Then it’s organising sessions, answering emails, doing appearances, it’s quite full-on but at the same time enjoyable.

What are your five top tips to toning up?

One - Remove any excuses, set a goal and stick to it.

Two – Nutrition - Dial that in and make sure it’s spot on.

Three - Training consistency. You don’t need to kill yourself everyday but you still need to push yourself and train four to six times a week.

Four - Make sure you get plenty of sleep - it’s very underrated.

Five - Stay well hydrated. People tend to over eat because they’re not hydrated enough.

What can we expect to see from you at the Expo? People are going to be able to pick my brains on different topics from nutrition to training and how to work towards achieving goals, and I’ll be putting people through a work out. Fitness expos are a great way for people to glean knowledge, see some fantastic things and take it home and implement it themselves.

Hopefully I can help!

life-changing smile LAST ISSUE, WE GAVE YOU A TEASER ABOUT THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF ENHANCE DENTISTRY’S LIFECHANGING DENTAL MAKEOVER RECIPIENT. THE GIFT RECIPIENT of this transformation, who would receive a makeover valued at $30,000, had to be a special person: someone deemed Brisbane’s most deserving mum; someone who should be given a reason to smile.

Style is thrilled to reveal that Lynn Lillington, north side mother of two is the highly deserving gift recipient, and has already undergone much of her exciting transformation.

Lynn’s daughter Angela nominated her for this wonderful gift (unbeknown to Lynn), saying it was one thing she could do for her mother to thank her for everything she has done for her.

Lynn - who couldn’t even let herself enjoy the process right up until she knew she was the chosen recipient, for fear she wouldn’t be chosen – had been ill for some time. She has supported her daughter Angela through extensive childhood dental work; has nursed her father; has been a home for the homeless and a shoulder to lean on

for so many others – this wonderful woman with an intensely generous heart was the only choice for Dr Marjan Jones.

“You win the lotto and it’s gone but these teeth are for life. It’s giving me a permanent high and it’s something I’ll always cherish,” Lynn says.

“Dr Jones has held my hand throughout the entire process and I just owe her so much...she’s given me this life-changing experience.”

Dr Jones says they wanted to make a real difference to someone’s life and Lynn is the perfect recipient with her immensely charitable spirit in the face of ongoing struggle. She is a true unsung hero.

If you think a dental make-over or better oral health can help you or any one you know, get in touch with Dr Marjan Jones.

LYNN’S LIFE-CHANGING TRANSFORMATION CARRIED OUT BY DR JONES INCLUDED ADVANCED CERAMIC WORK BY WERNER SAUER ORAL DESIGN. AMONG OTHER THINGS, LYNN RECEIVED 12 CROWNS, A LASER GUM LIFT, AND WHITENING. WATCH THE VIDEO OF LYNNE’S JOURNEY ON WWW. ENHANCEDENTISTRY. COM.AU.

sweet season STRAY FROM THE TRADITIONAL THIS YEAR AND CELEBRATE WITH CUPCAKES! “WE MAKE OVER

AFTER 22 YEARS in child psychology, Annie Stonehouse (pictured) decided she’d like a return to the food industry. She headed to The Cupcake Parlour to buy cupcakes for her son’s girlfriend’s 21st birthday, and it turned out to be the most expensive gift she’d ever purchased, as she ended up buying the whole business!

Since then, she’s continued her obsession with all things cupcake, adding a second store at Bulimba.

“We bake early every morning at West End and transport to Bulimba. We make over 90 different varieties in our regular range, and each morning the chefs have to choose which ones to bake!”

The store also bakes custom-made. If you’re looking for something different to add to the Christmas Day lunch table this year, forget dry fruitcake or plum puddings: break with tradition this Christmas and celebrate with something sweeter like a sticky-date pudding, peppermint cream or a gingerbread cupcake.

If you want to give your celebration an Australian touch, opt for the Queenslander cupcake with chocolate icing and pineapple.

1013_BM_ p28-29.indd 28

90 DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF CU PCAKES.”

For a corporate gift with a difference, ditch the golf umbrellas and stubby holders and send your clients a present they will love (and remember).

Corporate logos and colours can be reproduced onto cupcakes on edible rice paper - and the only limit is your imagination. Custom cupcakes start at $4.75 each, and 48 hours is required. Large cakes and novelty cakes are lovingly baked, too.

If you’re looking for flavour inspiration, you’ll be spoilt for choice with some incredibly creative combos. Alongside popular sellers of red velvet and gooey fudge centre, you’ll find Pina Colada, Turkish Delight and even Chai-Licious.

If you can dream it – they can create it.

superstitions or just habits?

ORTS STARS INDIVIDUAL SP STRANGEST SERVE UP THE RE A GAME. RITUALS BEFO

STYLE’S VERY OWN CRICKET GURU IAN HEALY DECODES THE MYSTERY AROUND STRANGE SPORT-STAR SUPERSTITIONS. IT’S COME TO my attention - individual sports like tennis and golf seem to be littered with more ‘mental cases’ than team sports, which have many more distractions and mates to occupy their minds. For instance, a young tour tennis player fighting to stay in a draw has a lot of time to stress. As such, they can cling to anything they believe brings them success.

Some beauties – Rafael Nadal, picks his pants with every serve and his water bottles must be lined up perfectly with the right liquid in each.

Players who can only walk on certain lines, or none at all, must drive themselves spare over the years of their career.

South African cricketer Neil McKenzie once scored runs after finding his bat taped to the

1013_BM_ p28-29.indd 29

toilet ceiling. From then on that was his ritual as well as needing all the toilet seats up in any dressing room they were in.

Habitual diet plans are common but again if something on a day isn’t available, you need to be able to cope - not capitulate! Routine provides focus and comfort, but can also be disrupted, which may rattle the dependent.

Footballers who have to high five everyone in the room or sports people who have to enter the arena in a set position are prime examples, othewise their moods are affected.

Merv Hughes was wearing the playing shirt in which he took five wickets against England twice, until it fell off him with no stitching left.

OWS MANY OF HIS HAND-CRAFTED WIND TAKE PRIDE OF PLACE IN HOMES AND CHURCHES ACROSS QUEENSLAND

.

art of glass Julian Podmore

THE LIFE OF A LEADLIGHT CRAFTSMAN IS MULTI-FACETED. SOME MAY SAY Julian Podmore sees the world through multi-coloured glass.

The Welsh-born local has fostered a career in the nearly forgotten craft of leadlight and stained glass windows for 25 years.

He fell into the job at the age of 17 after heading to the local job centre in his hometown of Cwmbran (pronounced Cum-bran), Wales. At 23, he visited Australia as a backpacker before falling in love with the country and emigrating at 26.

He set up a studio in Enoggera, before relocating to Newmarket nine years ago. Since then, Julian has carved a niche for himself due to his high level of craftmanship and expertise.

He has built a reputation as a leadlight go-to guy, with many of his hand-craftted windows, restorations and glass artworks taking pride of place in churches and homes across Queensland

- and abroad.

And no job is too big or too small for Julian.

“I do everything from new work to repair work, from China cabinets to church windows. We do schools and restaurants and are the nominated repairer for the Brisbane Arcade,” he says. “There are 20 odd Irish pubs in Japan with windows created by a Welshman living in Australia!”

Julian’s recent restorations include a 100 year old Good Sheppard glass window from Coventry in England. “Glass windows generally last about 100 years before the lead breaks down. The glass lasts forever, but the lead is like our bones, and when it’s replaced, it’s good to go again.”

The craftsman also creates pieces inspired by his love of music, featuring Elvis Presley and Jimi Hendrix to name just a few.

“The stuff that is close to my heart is music

related; I grew up with vinyls and used to buy all the latest albums to see the artwork on the cover,” he says.

“These pieces also show people that they can be art forms that can be mounted on a wall; and not just a leadlight window.”

Julian is excited about the future, with work including churches, a wedding chapel and many residential comissions locked in. And while he loves his craft, his favourite part of the day is when it’s tools down.

“When I leave the studio, I look forward to spending time with my family. They are the most important part of my life,” he says.

your skin and lasers

it’s spring racing time!

energy balance

LASERS HAVE MULTIPLE uses in clinics - the reduction of redness, pigmentation, premature ageing and collagen induction. Unfortunately, people are quickly mislead about what can be achieved with lasers and are unaware that other factors impact results.

Start by ensuring your practitioner is using a high quality machine. The use of advanced laser technology ensures the right target in the skin is being addressed, therefore decreasing the risk of negative side effects.

Your skin health vastly affects the benefits of laser treatments. The healthier your skin, the more receptive it is and the more likely it will have faster recovery. Your practitioner should be able to clearly assess your skins health and function, as opposed to addressing one problematic area.

Lastly, your practitioner needs to have a thorough understanding of skin health, use of the laser machine, education and aftercare to manage and help achieve your skin goals.

IT’S THAT TIME of year again! Spring racing is just around the corner and that means frocks, fillies and fancy hats with striding horses and gorgeous blooms.

No matter where you’re planning to watch the race; either a picnic with friends, a trackside marquee or the office lunch, there is endless number of styling ideas to help bring your space to life and soak up the season, and spring always means lots of exciting florals!

Here are some trends we’re seeing for spring: Peony season will be in full flourish – arguably the most popular bloom of the season.

Bright colours are still the rage, with big, floral prints available for linen and soft furnishings.

Team up some bright cushions to work in with your floral selection.

For furniture, Moreton Hire’s newest Capri range of lounge furniture offers an exciting indoor or outdoor pick for lounge areas, or just a comfy space to enjoy champagne.

BODY PSYCHOTHERAPY, CRANIOSACRAL Therapy, and Psychosomatic Therapy are modalities that utilise the connections between our physical, mental, and emotional energy.

Psychosomatic Therapy (Angelique’s specialty) is the process between the psyche (mind) and soma (the body). Body-mind communication exists within us resulting in behaviours and attitudes stimulated by experience and interaction with others.

Body Psychotherapy uses various techniques to facilitate recovery, including Talk Therapy.

It guides people into a deeper awareness of their emotional and behavioral states while encouraging them to tune in to the body’s physical responses, a therapy I specialise in.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST), which is Dominique’s area of expertise, is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction, improving whole-body health.

why functional training?

buyer’s regrets

deep vein thrombosis

FUNCTIONAL TRAINING IS a term commonly used in the health and fitness industry to describe a style of exercise that encompasses whole-body dynamic movement in an attempt to enhance muscular ability and stability, increase fitness and ultimately improve lifestyle.

The perils of everyday life (regardless of your activity level) contribute to muscular imbalances and ‘tightness’ over time. For example, consistent computer work can develop tightness in hips and shoulders, leading to poor posture, and an inability to move correctly when you need it most. This can make simple everyday tasks such as playing with the kids, carrying shopping bags and playing team sports more difficult.

Regardless of your current goals and fitness levels, when planning an exercise regime, it should combine a mix of functional exercises, a well-balanced clean diet, pre and post stretching and appropriate rest time between your regular exercise schedule. You will not be disappointed with the benefits and improvements by doing so.

BUYING IN THE wrong area and not shopping around for the right property are the two main regrets of many buyers. However, these mistakes are entirely avoidable if you do your research properly.

From my experience the people who find and buy these best properties in the shortest timeframe are those who really immerse themselves in the search. They make it their part-time job as they get to know the agents, walk the neighbourhood and take notes in their inspection notebook (a must!)

I’m always surprised by how few buyers check out the neighbourhood they’re buying into. If you have a specific property in mind, stroll down neighbouring streets and sit outside the property at different times – at night, in the morning, during peak hour, after school. Remember, properties are shown at the time of day that suits the home best.

If you spend a little time around the property, it will be easy to meet the locals, and you’ll get a sense of what might be your new home.

MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE that taking an Aspirin before going on a long haul flight will reduce the risk of DVTs - FALSE. Blood clots arise due to thrombosis anywhere in the arterial or venous circulation.

Heart attacks and strokes occur due to blood clots in the arterial circulation. DVTs occur in the venous circulation.

Blood clots are composed of two components; a protein called Fibrin and particles called Platelets. Platelets aggregate together like a mesh and Fibrin acts like glue to hold it all together to form a clot.

Aspirin interferes with Platelet aggregation by irreversibly inhibiting Thromboxane A2, which makes it useful in preventing arterial clots.

However Aspirin does NOT interfere with Platelet aggregation mediated by Thrombin (in the venous system) - explaining why it is not effective in preventing DVTs. DVT risk on flights can be reduced by wearing compression stockings and walking up and down the aisle for 10 minutes every hour.

bringing the inside out!

the magic of sponsorship

break the cycle

I COULD HAVE easily titled this column ‘bringing the outside in’. Either way, modern-home living in South-East Queensland is all about spending as much time as possible in the outdoors.

Some important considerations when designing and building your indoor/outdoor living space are: • Northerly facing aspect is ideal, however if westerly facing, then cleverly built screening, awnings and planting can help; • Increase the space between inside and outside with wide openings secured by timber or aluminium stacker doors or bi-fold doors; • A featured fireplace and ceiling or floor mounted gas heaters for the colder months; • LED up-lighting of feature plants and custom screens, along with recessed deck lights create ambience; • Consider audio (speakers) and visual if you really want to make the space special; • BBQs can be as simple as a griddle to a sophisticated teppanyaki outdoor kitchen.

ONCE UPON A time, only huge multinationals struck sponsorship deals with football clubs.

Today, as the gloom of the GFC finally glimmers with renewed optimism, small to medium businesses are now seeing the power of aligning their brand with strategic community groups and events.

When executed well, both parties can live happily ever after – or at least until the deal expires...

A carefully thought through sponsorship deal can position you positively in front of an ideal target audience, not only offering great exposure but more importantly, offering an emotional connection that advertising alone isn’t able to provide.

Who doesn’t love a Fairy Godmother?

But remember: to enjoy a real fairytale ending, both partners need to tell the story over and over to their audience to get the maximum amount of magic from your good deed.

Even a golden goose needs to be fed and watered occasionally…

RESEARCH SHOWS THAT almost all young women and nearly half of all middle-aged women in Australia have dieted to lose weight at least once in their life.

The good news is you can break the dieting cycle. The answer to healthy, sustainable weight loss is eating nutritious food and balancing it with enjoyable physical activity.

Healthy lifestyle habits include: • Using portion control and reducing large portions at dinner.

• Being mindful of eating cues. Find the trigger behind your cravings. Is it emotional or stress?

• Staying hydrated - often we mix up hunger and thirst.

• Eating protein rich meals during the day.

• Keeping healthy portioned snacks at hand.

Maintaining a healthy weight means much more than weight loss. It means more confidence, energy and better sleep quality.

YOUR JOB SHOULD HAVE MEANING, PLAY TO YOUR STRENGTHS, AND HAVE PASSION FOR YOU.

awesome ageing CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST DR JOHN BARLETTA IDENTIFIES HOW TO ENSURE WELLNESS INTO OLD AGE. HEALTHY AND HAPPY is how we want to age, but what makes the difference in enabling us to live longer and be happier? What does your lifestyle and environment need to resemble?

The good news is that as you make changes to lifestyle, you will look and feel better and add to life expectancy. How well and long you live depends on your choices!

An environment that’s safe, quiet, connected to nature, with easy access to services is the foundation for a good life. This includes the home, garden, street, and community.

Given the amount of time at work, your job needs to be one where you are challenged, are close to home, are paid a proper wage (and save for retirement), and a happy place to be 40 hours per week. Your job should have meaning, play to your strengths, and have passion for you. Likewise, yearly vacation time of about six

weeks is useful for recovery.

Socialize with friends who similarly have a sense of humour, share your ups and downs, and are usually positive. Additionally, marrying well and nurturing the relationship is vital.

Effective interpersonal skills are critical.

Moving and stretching naturally is imperative; include walking, gardening and chores.

Have a diet that has a plant-slant and avoid over-eating. Keep well-hydrated and wine consumption moderate. Finally, ensure a quality eight-hour sleep and practice regular stressbusting strategies.

Now you know what matters, what are you waiting for to age awesomely?

Tell me about your involvement with the Campaign? I am very excited to be sharing some tips and secrets with women all over the country and hopefully encourage other women to step outside the box and try new things.

You’re on TV five nights a week. How do you manage to look so effortless and freshfaced? I am fortunate to have an amazing team of hair and make-up girls. On the weekends I am much more of a “less is more” person.

Is fashion something you’ve always been interested in? I am becoming more interested in fashion the older I get. I love working with my stylist to decide what fun things I can wear each night. I am so fortunate that I get to play dress up each day!

Who are some of your favourite

designers? Manning Cartell, Ginger and Smart, Sheike and Alice McCall. I love wearing bold designs on The Project and I am going to weave them into my summer wardrobe!

What do you like to do in your time off?

Travel. I didn’t get a chance to travel much in my 20s, so my 30s are all about seeing the world.

Where do you like to visit when you’re in Brisbane? I have been to Brisbane several times but mostly for work. I’d love to come up for a weekend and check out some of the great restaurants, and then head to the coast for a few days.

THE DOS

THE DON’TS

Dress for daytime; opt for a feminine sundress, structured skirt suit or a tailored dress that is tapered to the knee; leave the sparkles for cocktail hour.

Invest in a comfortable pair of shoes; this season’s towering wedges or solid, platform heels are perfect for a long day on the field.

Consider whether your headwear is going to be the feature of your outfit or whether it is there to complement it and then choose accordingly.

Experiment with this season’s bold colours, floral patterns or striking monochrome sporty luxe styles.

Keep hair and makeup clean and simple; make a statement with a bright bold lip.

Invest in a great pair of statement sunglasses these will add a touch of glamour and mystery to your look.

Show too much skin, look for slightly longer hemlines: this is time to be demure and elegant.

Take your shoes off, if you fear you might not last in your highheels pack a pair of flat shoes in your handbag just in case.

Feel that you need to wear a hat; bold accessories such as statement necklaces, earrings or bangles can create just as much drama and character to your look.

Forget to visit your beautician for a manicure and pedicure, these will complement your outfit and enhance your overall appearance.

Stav’s winning tips LIKE A LOT of Australians, the one time of year I gamble on horse racing is Melbourne Cup. This generally makes stepping up to a TAB a baffling ordeal, let alone knowing what horse to bet on. So, here is my top five ways an amateur can pick a sure fire* winner! (*Winning not guaranteed – in fact you’ll probably stand less of a chance).

1. THE THIN THREAD: find a name of a horse and then all you need is the tiniest connection to yourself as a reason to bet. e.g. “Truman’s Folly” I liked the Truman Show with Jim Carey - Jim Carey makes me laugh - I laugh when I feel happy - I would be happy if I won... $100 on Truman’s Folly!

2. ABSOLUTE CHANCE: this one is easy; all you need is a list of the horses running and a dart board...

3. THE SARAH JESSICA PARKER METHOD: find the best looking horse of the bunch and bet on that one...

4. FASHION CONSCIOUS: Pick the jockey who is wearing the most “on trend” colours for the season, if he’s ahead of the pack in fashion, there’s a good chance he’ll he ll be a leader in everything he does. es.

5. LAYING THE FAVOURITE: sleep with a jockey before the race to get an insider’s tip!

LOVE IT

Labby wears Saba and Mascotte; Stav wears Studio 196, Saba, and Mascotte; Abby wears Seduce, Mimco, and Wittner, all available at Westfield Chermside.

Labby’s race day with the boys EVERY GOOD DAY out needs a meeting point. I suggest getting together at Chester Street Bakery & Bar in Newstead.

Line your stomach with a big breakfast for the day ahead – and at 10am you’ve got the option of a cappuccino or a beer.

Go to the Emporium Barber for an old school cut-throat razor shave, plus the place is licensed so you can have a pre-race day drink and work out your

tips with your mates.

After the races, Waterloo Hotel is a great spot. It’s close to both race tracks and the set-up is very classy, so you won’t feel out of place in your suit. After a big day drinking trackside, they do amazing and well-priced food, which we could all do with.

After the Waterloo, my strong suggestion is to call it a day!

cultural classic GEMMOLOGIST MARK SEDDON SHARES WHY PEARLS ARE REALLY A GIRL’S BEST FRIEND. How long have you owned Girls Love Pearls? I bought Girls Love Pearls in March 2008. The store has been opened for nearly 10 years.

What instigated your love of pearls and jewellery? Ever since I was young, I had a fascination with precious items. When I was doing my Gemmology studies in 1987, I loved that pearls were made by a living creature and not just hard cold rocks out of the ground.

What do you offer at Girls Love Pearls? At Girls Love Pearls you can come into store, browse a complete selection of pearl jewellery items and make a decision with all the options in front of you.

If you want to match an existing piece and it’s not in stock, we can also source and design it for you.

What do you think makes a pearl so special and timeless? Pearls have been worn throughout history. Up until culturing techniques were refined, only natural pearls existed and were only afforded by royalty or the affluent. Now with cultured pearls,

from Australian South Sea to the Japanese Akoya and Fresh Water pearls, there are so many choices available in terms of size, shape, colour and price.

And, a classic strand of pearls will never date.

What are some of the current popular trends? With interest in recent movies such as The Great Gatsby, multi-lengths and layering looks are popular. Earrings and pendants continue to be the most popular item on gift giving lists along with bracelets gaining popularity as well.

Any pearls dos or dont’s? There are a lot of old wives tales around, but basically keep them away from makeup and perfumes. Give them a wipe with a soft damp cloth to remove any residue from perspiration and body oils. Have them restrung regularly if you wear them a lot - pearls are born to be worn, so wear them!

CRAIG SMITH DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM THE INTERNATIONAL CATWALKS FOR THE LATEST IN HAIR TRENDS. IN JUNE 2013 directly after Hair Expo, Craig Smith completed his second seasonal trend collection for Alter Ego Italy. Drawing inspiration from the international catwalks, the Brisbaneborn Global Ambassador demonstrates the fluidity between fashion and popular culture artforms as a key in his latest trend offering.

“Arthair is a collection that validates the way hair fashion inspiration flows. The catwalk collections draw references from art, music, film and subcultural movements, and the hair should be an extension of that stimulus”, explains Craig Smith.

The four key trends include Sports Luxe Redux, Punk Prophetic, Satorical Seventies, and 50s Glamour. Here are Style’s top trend picks!

Sports Luxe Redux Clean, serene and vigorously structured, the catwalks of Sander, Stella and Chanel were blurring no lines when it came to precision pleats and detailed darts. The sculptural set were as pristine as ever, whilst angular minimalism took

a back seat to a more rounded finish. This is a seriously sophisticated trend for those who like to combine athletic strength with smoother slopes and a decadent Apres Ski. Additional Designers with Sport Luxe Redux influence: Michael Kors, Lacoste, Stella Macartney, Chanel, Josh Goot, Jill Sander

50s Glamour Romantic and decadent with an aura of Great Gatsby glamour, this trend exudes 1950’s femininity. Underpinned by the flirtatious polka dot print and hourglass silhouettes that preened the catwalks of Prada, Louis Vuitton and Christopher Kane, this is a look that epitomises the confident sensuality of the lady like woman.

Additional Designers with 1950’s influence: Emporio Armani, Lavin, Burberry Prorsum.

GASWORKS CELEBRATES YEARS

140th Birthday Celebration Weekend Make sure you head to the Gasometer from 11 -13 October for a fabulous weekend of birthday celebrations.

OF LIGHTING THE WAY FOR BRISBANE Brisbane locals are flocking to the city’s newest destination for shopping, dining and entertainment - Gasworks at Newstead - which has opened in line with the 140th anniversary of the heritage listed Brisbane Landmark - the Gasometer - which is once again lighting the way for Brisbane.

Come and experience Brisbane’s newest iconic retail and dining precinct, Gasworks Plaza at Newstead.

The expansive 3,000sqm outdoor plaza which surrounds the iconic Gasometer frame, is fast becoming the epicentre of the dynamic new precinct.

The expansive outdoor plaza which surrounds the iconic Gasometer frame brings together the best in fresh food, premium dining and retail offerings including The Standard Market Company, Max Brenner, gurts frozen yogurt bar, Reef Seafood and Sushi, Hatch & Co and Australia’s first Active Living Room by Lorna Jane, just to name a few.

FKP Executive General Manager Queensland Gary Kordic says the former industrial precinct is being transformed into an urban community never before seen in Brisbane and the iconic gasworks frame remains at the heart of the precinct.

“We see the historic structure, which has been synonymous with Newstead since 1873, as the centrepiece for the development and it has become the focal point of the open air public plaza,” he said.

“Live music events, community events and performances are being held in the plaza, which has been designed for public use, and the frame itself has been fitted with lights, which will come alive at night with a choreographed light show – symbolically lighting the way in Brisbane once again.

“The rejuvenation of the frame and opening of the plaza coincides with the 140 year anniversary of the frame being relocated and reconstructed at Newstead, so it’s fitting to pay homage to the history of the structure through art and light.”

Mr Kordic says Newstead Gasworks played a significant role in the development of Brisbane as a major city and was an icon for more than a hundred years.

Upon completion the $1.1 billion Gasworks precinct will offer the best of inner city living with commercial space and an enticing array of dining and shopping, bringing together residents, workers and the greater Brisbane community.

TENERIFFE’S NEWEST LUXURY DEVELOPMENTS ARE HERE. JENNY KAZOULLIS – with her ten year strong foundation at Teneriffe Realty – is stirring up some incredible real estate buzz in the area. Together with renowned developer Cavcorp, Jenny has earned more than $20 million in sales within the Teneriffe area and Gasworks precinct in the last 18 months alone!

The two successfully Cavcorp developments within the locality are Como Teneriffe and Kurv Newstead, both situated within the newest extension of the Teneriffe Peninsula and the Gasworks precinct, which promises to be Brisbane’s premier one-stop-shop for retail, dining, and entertainment. These sales figures are increasingly impressive, given that Kurv construction hasn’t even been completed.

Kurv Newstead is envisioned as a seven-level boutique mixed-use development that will house restaurants, offices, six levels of apartments, 92 car spaces, and bicycle parking in the thriving Newstead

area – right next to Gasworks Plaza.

Como, which sold out in 2012, boasts New York inspired penthouse apartments featuring oversized floor-to-ceiling windows that frame Teneriffe streetscapes and create living spaces with an abundance of light. The spaces created in these apartments highlight quality finishes and building features second to none, as well as separate media rooms and large balcony areas for twilight barbeques.

Como and Kurv promise to be vibrant new hubs in Teneriffe. Stay tuned for another innovative Cavcorp development that will raise the bar in prestigious, trendy living.

winning trifecta

brow bar

HARNESS THE POWER OF THE BROW BAR’S BEAUTY ADVICE! ACHIEVING BALANCE WILL ensure a winning trifecta this party season with your beauty routine and should be your focus for the Spring Racing Carnival.

If you want your eyes to be the prize, go for a bold smoky look and just a hint of colour on the lips – musky pinks are our choice this season! Avoid the sweaty slide of eye shadow (the last thing you’ll need on race day!) and dust your lids with Brow Bar’s Invisible Blotting Powder to seal the deal.

If you’re keeping your eyes natural (by natural, we mean neutral – with lots of Long Weekend Lashes) a vibrant pout layered with their Super Gloss will offer you that one-two punch of brightness.

Forget the fake tan this season and give luminosity license to your look with a hint of their Safari Mineral Bronzer. Brush it along your forehead, temples, nose, cheekbones and jaw line to take you from sun-kissed to sunset. Focusing on these up-lines will also help to create a slimmer, more youthful appearance.

Brow Bar founder Chernae Silk recommends three key products for trackside luminosity all day long.

“Our top three trackside clutch essentials include our Clear Super Gloss, Brow Blender Pencil and of course Invisible Blotting Powder for a flawless Spring Carnival look.”

here’s to beer STYLE CHECKS OUT WHAT’S BUBBLING UNDER THE SURFACE OF BRISBANE’S BOUTIQUE BEER SCENE WITH QUEENSLAND WEEKENDER’S ALASTAIR MCLEOD.

BY LUCY STEPHENS.

AFICIONADO. ENTHUSIAST. DEVOTEE. Supporter. Fan. Despite what you call it – I’m a lover of all things beer, and it seems it’s a feeling many Brisbane folk share.

I headed out with fellow beer fan Claire Parviz and the Queensland Weekender team to see what’s fueling the burgeoning beer trend, and learn a bit about the bubbly beverage along the way.

First stop, the uber cool Scratch Bar at Milton, where beer fan Matt Kirkegaard dispenses some knowledge about the brew with Queensland Weekender’s Alastair McLeod.

I ask him why he thinks there is such a current trend for boutique beer.

“I think it’s the small bar culture. They’ve needed to mark themselves as being different from bigger ones, and they’ve done that with unique beer lists and people have responded so well, they’re almost showing the bigger venues how to do it.

This has led basically to the many different types of beers you see on the market now. Beer has four key ingredients, malt, water, hops and yeast, whereas wine only has one – grapes, so technically beer can have more flavour compounds and be more complex than wine.”

Next up, we head to Tippler’s Tap, another craft beer bar that’s been pivotal in driving the beer-drinking movement in Brisbane.

Carl Rhodes, one of the venue’s managers serves up three types of beer to taste, and sets about educating our palates – a double IPA, a coffee stout and a rum-barrel aged red-belly black. The IPA is bitter, the coffee stout offers a heady burst of flavour, and the rum barrel aged (Claire’s fave) nearly hits me for six. Who knew there were so many different flavours?

Here, they offer an extensive beer list alongside some Chicago street-food inspired grub such as sliders and buffalo wings, which we quickly inhale before heading to our next venue.

Green Beacon Brewery is just that – a brewery that also www.stylemagazines.com.au

Andrew Sydes talks beer production at Green Beacon Brewing Co. Matt Kirkegaard shares his beer knowledge at Scratch Bar.

Scatch Bar

doubles as a bar. Large, stainless steel vats line the back wall in a an open, warehouse space.

Manager Andrew Sydes at Green Beacon walks us through the brewery, explaining the process of the beer production.

“People come in all the time and because it’s nice and clean, and they’re like, so, do you actually brew beer here? And we’re like yeaaahh it’s not just a really expensive sculpture!

We want our brew to be consistently high quality…it’s about keeping a really clean environment so that you get the results you want. If anything else gets in there (the beer) it can really interrupt the flavour and aroma of the beer.”

Just before we wrap up, we take a seat and sample some of the beer brewed on site – I go for a pale ale, and it’s delicious. Washed down with some fresh seafood served at the bar, I can’t think of a better way to end a warm spring day in Queensland. Cheers!

NOW IN ITS ninth year, The Brisbane Good Food and Wine Show is returning to its roots on November 8 to 10, serving up some fresh, tasty produce and cooking inspiration.

Culinary crusaders and celeb chefs, Alastair McLeod and Matt Golinski will dish up their muchloved approach to food as part of the show, and are excited to see the way in which Queensland and Australia’s appetite for quality food has increased.

“I think the public is more educated, in the main thanks to television food shows. Food is such a primal and essential commodity, I can’t really see this trend slowing at all,” Alastair says.

“I think Brisbane is at least equal to Sydney or Melbourne in terms of quality dining options,” Alastair says.

After a difficult last two years in the spotlight for more personal reasons, Queensland’s love affair

with food is a chance for Matt Golinski to get back into the kitchen.

“I love every opportunity to be in front of an audience and to share my passion for food and cooking. If anything, my enthusiasm for cooking has increased [since returning]. Unfortunately, I can’t yet work in a commercial kitchen due to my injuries, so the chance to cook at things like the Good Food and Wine show is especially fantastic.”

The duo, who will partner up for the show, are less candid when talking about what they’ll be doing.

“It’s a surprise; if I told you, I would have to kill you,” Alastair laughs.

“Alastair and I are cooking up a real treat (if you pardon the pun) for the audience. I can tell you it will be loads of fun and will focus on local produce,” Matt says.

As for what’s next, Matt reveals he’s keen to dip

“There’s a cookbook in the wind which I’m busy working on. I have more surgery ahead of me, and hopefully after that I will be able to return to a commercial kitchen. And in the meantime, hopefully more cooking demonstrations at the Good Food and Wine Show and elsewhere.”

For Alastair, he’s just happy to be cooking up a storm with his old buddy.

“I am really happy to be cooking on stage with Matt. We’ve been through a lot together and I am just thrilled to be cooking with my great mate.”

spherical spread LUCY STEPHENS HAS SOME PUN AT THE FOX HOTEL’S BALLISH NEW RESTAURANT.

w hat t o wear

FIRST THINGS FIRST – I’ll start by apologising for the many ball puns, idioms and euphemisms this story is likely to contain. It is, after all, a review of a meatball restaurant, and while I consider myself to be mature, sometimes I just can’t help myself.

The Meatball Company is the new informal restaurant to arrive on the ground level of The Fox. Housed in the area where shorts and thong wearing folk use to down a $2 steak with a litre of beer, the spot now serves various types of meatballs in a New York street-food inspired and decked-out space. It may seem fairly ballsy to focus on a food that you only dine on at Ikea, but fresh ingredients, plenty of flavour and a modern attitude make it an all-round appealing offering.

On the menu is a selection of about six types

of orbital delights, with additional sides and ‘rabbit food’. I went nuts for the pork and veal meatballs with chilli, tomato and roast pepper sauce, the beef in smokey tomato sauce, and the green pea, Arborio with mint and manchego. Side stand-outs included the roast beetroot salad with walnut and rocket, roasted sweet corn with cucumber salad, and the bread with smoked butter.

Tasty, fun, fresh; amazeballs! (Pardon the pun!)

THERE’S LITTLE I love more than having my makeup done. Ella Baché Hamilton’s Laura Hooper got me dolled up for The Fox Hotel’s opening using their new range of Youngblood Mineral Makeup.

Laura started by applying a base of Mineral Primer to set my makeup, followed by a liquid foundation, combined with a perfecting concealer to even out my skin tone. The Loose Mineral Foundation was then applied using a Kabuki Brush.

The Mineral Radiance Sundance was applied to the apples of my cheeks and swept upwards towards by temples to highlight the structure of my cheekbones.

Next step: Brows! The Brow Artiste Kit was used to fill in any gaps in my eyebrows, and get them into shape.

Then it was time to tend to the lids. First, the Doe Shadow was applied using the Timeless Quad to the entire lid up to the brow bone. The Coco Shadow was applied to the lower part of the lid; the Haze Shadow

The Lo ose Mineral Foundat ion was applied using a Kabuki Brush used to contour and shadow the outer corners; and the Ora Shadow applied to the inner corners of my eyelids and just under my eyebrow.

The Gel Liner Eclipse was applied to the top of my lids before the Blackest Black Eyeliner was used on the outer lash line on my lower lid. My eyes were finished with slick of Blackout Mascara.

To complete my look, my lips were defined with the Pout Lip pencil and Tangelo Lipstick.

UPON YOUR FIRST visit to the Sure Dental clinic, you are assigned a clinical co-ordinator who will not only put you at ease, but will also care for you for the duration of your treatment. Sure Dental’s highest priority is to provide personalised service for each and every patient, cared for within the privacy of your own treatment room.

There is a service for every person seeking to enhance their smile from simple home and laser whitening through to aesthetic dentistry, which can transform a person’s life.

Dr Ralph Kelsey believes your smile should be a healthy one, and not just on the surface.

“Cosmetic procedures are no longer used for purely aesthetic purposes; technology and advancements in the field have provided dentists with a variety of techniques that not only make your smile more beautiful, but also more functional,” he says.

The Sure Dental team also works to highlight the importance of dental hygiene and how proper management improves quality of life.

The medical world, they say, is aware of the link between a number of systemic diseases (such as cardiovascular disease) and poor oral health.

Sure Dental Hygienists, Di and Alice, have postgraduate training and expertise in the management of periodontal (gum) disease and the

prevention of dental decay and tooth wear.

Dr Ralph Kelsey and Dr Michael Ghobrial will confer closely with your Dental Hygienists when prescribing individual treatment for your care. It is their combined commitment that will provide you with the best dentistry available.

“I SPENT TW O HOURS AT ENDOTA SPA IN JAMES ST REET AND C AME OUT A NEW WOMAN WIT H GLOWING SKIN.”

ive s a r b a ld e h d A han xf o l i ates wit h n ozzle e suct ion. mi ld

KELLIE ALDERMAN SHARES HER EXPERIENCE AFTER TRYING OUT THE HYDRODERMABRASION FACIAL AND SPA TREATMENT.

pore-fect complexion THERE’S A NEW KID ON THE BLOCK WHEN IT COMES TO TANTALISINGLY REFINED SKIN. HYDRODERMABRASION IS BLOWING ALL OTHER SYSTEMS OUT OF THE WATER WITH ITS TOUGH BUT GENTLE SKIN REJUVENATION TECHNIQUE. WE SAT DOWN with Rebecca Lloyd from endota Spa to investigate this new skin treatment helping us turn back the clock.

Can you tell me a little bit about hydrodermabrasion? Hydrodermabrasion provides a deeper exfoliation treatment that works on the epidermis (top layer of skin). A handheld abrasive nozzle exfoliates with mild suction to remove dead skin cells while a multivitamin serum is infused to target a number of different concerns.

What is the treatment used for? What does it do? Advanced skin exfoliation to resurface the skin along with treating specific skin conditions – removes dead skin cells, stimulates cellular renewal, collagen/elastin production and lymphatics and treats specific skin conditions such as: • Ageing skin; • Dull, congested, or blemished skin; • Fine wrinkles; www.stylemagazines.com.au

1013_BM_ p88-89.indd 89

• Enlarged pores; • Acne; • Stretch marks and minor scars; • Pre-application for further services; • Skin smoothing; and • Hyper-pigmentation.

Can anyone use it? Yes but adviseable not to have during pregnancy or if you’re suffering from pustular/cystic acne and/or sunburn.

What are the benefits? Are there any risks associated? There are only benefits – smoother brighter, hydrated and less congested skin to name a few. Don’t plan any last minute tropical getaways as the procedure is not recommended the day before a beach trip/holiday as skin will be vulnerable to the sun’s UV rays.

How often should I be getting it done? As often as fortnightly (depending on concerns and a therapist would recommend specific treatment courses) or at the very least each change of season to look fresher for longer.

WE ALL DO it. We think “I’d love to book in for a spa treatment but I haven’t got time/can’t afford it/don’t know where to go.” Then we get busy or spend our hard-earned on something else we don’t need and meanwhile our stress levels are climbing and we are more tired as the weeks go by.

October is the month to change that. I spent two hours at endota Spa in James Street and came out a new woman, with glowing skin and feeling more relaxed than I had in weeks.

I didn’t go for the usual massage. I decided a body treatment and a results-based facial was the way to go – a combo of something that will instantly make my skin look good and also be relaxing and de-stressing at the same time – a kind of spa multi-tasking.

First up was a foot bath, scrub and massage followed by honey, mint and river salt scrub and yogurt and herb cocoon – I was swaddled like a newborn and it felt amazing. My skin was babysoft after this pampering treatment.

Next up was the Hydrodermabrasion facial – a bit like having your face vacuumed where all the dead skin cells are sucked away and, after a soothing mask is washed off, a younger you is revealed.

It’s all the little touches– the lavender heated eye mask, the hot wheat pack under your neck and shoulders to melt stress away, the scalp massage as your yogurt and herb cocoon is working it’s magic – that make Endota the perfect place to take action to relax this month.

A CHANGE IS as good as a holiday (they say), so as it comes time for a change of season, the excitement of a new hair style to go with the new wardrobe is the biggest motivator.

rethinking your ink?

A REVOLUTIONARY, NEW TATTOO REMOVAL TREATMENT IS NOW AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA.

SKINIAL NON LASER Tattoo Removal employs the body’s own natural healing process to permanently remove ink from skin.

The process literally enables a body to reject and permanently remove ink from skin. Specially trained in the ‘Skinial’ tattoo removal method, Evelyn Orford Advanced Cosmetic Tattoo Practitioner explains the treatment process in further detail.

“The Skinial system is very different to other tattoo removal treatments in that it involves working on multiple, small areas of tattooed skin at a time and employs the body’s own healing process to eradicate the ink,” Evelyn says.

“A natural liquid is introduced under the skin which acts as a colour remover. The coloured ink particles are then naturally rejected by the body, which transports them to the skin’s surface forming a natural ‘crust’ of ink. This then simply falls off, revealing healthy, colour-free skin below.”

Evelyn said that unlike other tattoo removal processes, by simultaneously working on small areas of skin and allowing the skin to heal between treatments, the chances of scarring or pigment

changes were dramatically reduced.

“Although the Skinial treatment has been available in Europe for two years, until its introduction to Australia the only methods previously available for tattoo removal were enduring painful laser treatments, dermabrasion, or excision – ouch!

“For the majority of tattoos we have removed,

you cannot recognise the former tattoo with the naked eye.

On submission of a photograph or if you would like to discuss in person, feel free to arrange a consultation with Evelyn directly.

WHEN I WALKED into Sublime, I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of awards that had Kim Duffin’s (Sublime’s owner and director) name on them. Excellence and the drive for perfection for their clients underpin Sublime’s work ethic and the incredible quality of design and execution they produce.

I sat down with Kim to discuss the Sublime difference.

Firstly, tell me what Sublime does?

We are Interior Space Planners that provide design advice on residential spaces such as kitchens, outdoor kitchens, bathrooms, dressing rooms, media rooms, studies and libraries.

We also offer quality manufacturing solutions for the cabinets required for these spaces and project management for those looking for a professional that can take the project from commencement to completion.

What makes Sublime different to an interior design service?

We focus on the mechanics of a room rather than just colour and finishes. We evaluate how the space will be used, the outcomes and objectives for how the client wants to enhance their lifestyle, saleability of the home or meet specific needs such as a disability.

Every cupboard, drawer, door, appliances etc has a purpose and it is our job to ensure functionality comes first.

What is unique about your product?

Our innovation in design and quality in the final product we produce plus our design software.

The software can produce a rotatable 3D image, in full colour, showing the client their new space with the finishes, colours and textures they have selected. We believe this helps make the decision making process easier and gives the client confidence. There are no surprises as to what the end result will be.

What’s your favourite aspect of the project process?

The favourite part of the process is the feedback from the clients at the end when they talk about how the new space has changed their life. Being able to enhance someone’s lifestyle and their relationships is the best thing about what we do.

Stay tuned for more insight into the design and finished products of this pioneering company.

The luxurious V IE Hotel Bangkok has impressive cit yscape views.

cultural indulgence LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT THAILAND ESCAPE? FROM PRISTINE BEACHES TO BUZZING CITIES, STYLE’S PAUL JOHNSTON, DISCOVERS THERE’S MORE TO THE COUNTRY THAN JUST PAD THAI. IF YOU THINK Bangkok is a chaotic grime-filled city that is labelled a no-go zone - think again.

The Thai capital is steaming hot right now and is overflowing with style, charm and plenty of glamour.

The city has undergone a dramatic makeover in the past few years and its style scene has really blossomed. Thankfully, the old traditions are still there to contrast the new. Saffronrobed monks shop alongside designer-label fashionistas, and street vendors line the sidewalks outside up-to-the-minute luxury shopping plazas.

With only one night to experience all that Bangkok has to offer, I checked into one of the city’s most remarkable sleeping spots, the VIE Hotel. The trendy and luxurious five-star

boutique hotel is just 50 metres from Phay Thai Skytrain Station (which soars above all the traffic madness) and only a short walk to the MBK and Siam Centres - a perfect location!

To delve into the buzz of Bangkok, I hit the pavement to explore the city’s streets. I got lost in the hustle and bustle of Thais in their daily routine, street vendors trying fervently to sell their wares and fellow travellers taking it all in. I fell in love with the city’s invigorating energy, but what I really came to see was Bangkok’s indulgent side.

I visited the prestigious MBK plaza, which I soon discovered is a fashionistas’ paradise. The centre has 2,000 shops stocking everything from fashion, accessories, electric appliances and furniture, and will satisfy even the most enthusiastic shopper.

BANGKOK WATCH THE BUZZ OF P POOL. FROM THE ROOFTO

The highlight of my visit to Bangkok was the tranquil oasis of the VIE Hotel. After my long day of sightseeing I felt right at home with the hotel’s modern décor that followed right from the reception through to my room. While the floorto-ceiling windows revealed the dramatic views across the city, the vibrant Asian silk fabrics and richly coloured woods display true luxury.

For the health conscious, the hotel has a world-class gym, or for those on a holiday of the more relaxing type, the hotel has one of the city’s best boutique spas.

To indulge in the exotic tastes of Bangkok, I dined at the hotel’s award-winning VIE Wine and Grill, which marries gourmet dishes, an impressive wine list and stylish ambience. It was the perfect way to finish my visit to Bangkok.

Indulge in the perfect spa while watchi ng the waves crash on Patong Beach at B-Lay Tong resort..

THE PHUKET EXPERIENCE AFTER ALL THE exhilarating sights and sounds in Bangkok, I was looking forward to winding down in Phuket – the perfect place to relax at some of Thailand’s most breathtaking beaches.

To make sure I would get some serious relaxation in style, I booked into the B-Lay Tong resort, which boasts a prime beachfront location at the quiet northern end of the world famous Patong Beach.

The luxurious resort has deluxe rooms and suites that overlook luscious gardens, their gorgeous pool or views of the shimmering Andaman Sea. As soon as I walked in, I knew it was the perfect setting for a private and tranquil stay.

After settling in, I ventured out to the lively Bangla Road, which is an easy 10 to 15 minute walk from the hotel. Bangla Road is famous for its markets and exciting nightlife.

After a few hours shopping, I made my way back to B-Lay Tong Hotel to relax by the glorious pool and sip a cocktail (or two).

Speaking to the other guests, I found out the resort is the ideal place for families. I’m told the resort has everything you need to keep the kids entertained including a library, Wi-Fi, a huge swimming pool and a smorgasbord of dining options that will please the tastes of even the fussiest child.

With my kids (thankfully) at home, I decided to indulge in the hotel’s luxurious bars, day spa and fitness facilities.

I was delighted by the resort’s buffet breakfasts, with a range of Asian and European selections to tempt me. Instead of leaving the pool for lunch, I would paddle to the swim-up bar and indulge in delicious goodness. Dinner was a much more fancy affair with the à la carte menu at the B Hive Restaurant.

To top off my Phuket experience, I was treated to a complimentary cocktail every night while enjoying the sunset over the Patong Beach, with live music becoming my nightly soundtrack. Pure bliss!

AFTER COMPLETING BACHELOR degrees in Management and Marketing, and Management, Tourism, and Hospitality, Jot Lynas launched Unleashed Travel in 2006, offering school leavers luxury and volunteer-based holidays.

It was only after a recent student survey, however, that Jot discovered some interesting results; a large demand for luxurious holidays without any involvement of alcohol.

“Students are no longer afraid to go against the grain and admit that they’d rather be spending quality time with mates than drinking,” says Jot. Based in Sydney, Unleashed Travel began creating packages exclusively for these groups, and today their alcohol-free packages are in high demand.

“Students are better educated on the effects physically and socially from drinking than ever before,” Jot says.

This year, the exclusive Hideaway Island off the coast of Vanuatu will

hold an alcohol-free experience for school-leavers, promising to be a unique party haven.

“International DJs pump the latest summer anthems that we’re pretty sure can be heard from the mainland”, Jot says.

The island’s coral-fringe also offers plenty of activities including snorkelling and scuba diving trips to the coral gardens, tours to the Mele Village and Cascade Falls, and a round of golf across the bay.

“In addition to Hideaway Island in Vanuatu we have five Fiji packages – Plantation Island, Mana Island, Sonaisali Island, Beachcomber Island and Naviti Island. We also have Bintan Lagoon in Indonesia and volunteering packages in Thailand and Cambodia,” says Jot. As the demand for alcoholfree programs constantly grows, Unleashed Travel has become Australia’s leading travel provider of overseas school-leaver experiences.

THIS FOUR DOOR AUDI A1 SPORTBACK IS PACKED WITH EXTRAS AND UNDERSTATED ELEGANCE ECLIPSING ITS COMPETITORS.

classy ride LUCY STEPHENS TESTS DRIVES THE NEW AUDI A1 SPORTBACK. AS I HEAD into the Audi showroom to pick up the new Audi A1 Sportsback, the gentleman showing me the ropes asks what I know about the car.

“My boyfriend tells me it’s two-door,” I say, thinking back to the conversation we’d had that morning.

“Incorrect,” he says, before motioning to an obviously four-door vehicle parked in front of me.

“They used to be, but not the new ones.”

I scold myself at my lack of research before coming to collect it. But, sometimes – a lack of knowledge is the only way to obtain a totally impartial opinion.

With a starting price of around $35,000+, for those who are only beginning to entertain the thought of a luxury vehicle, this small car is certainly one of the more affordable ways to join the club. I took a spin in the sports model which is further up the price bracket, but packed with some extras and design options that make it just that little bit more irresistible.

Inside, the dashboard is all clean lines and smart layout. A lot of newer cars these days tend to go for the novelty factor when it comes to the dash, but this often means having difficulty locating various devices. This can lead to a flurry of button-pushing mid drive when you’re simply trying to change the radio station. Here, knobs are where they’re supposed to be, and do as they should. The air-con is strong and minty fresh, and the front windscreen provides plenty of visibility.

The car glides along the freeway with little noise or jerking, with a lot of torque and great maneuverability meaning tight spaces are so easy for parking, it almost makes you want to drive around the carpark looking for one (ok – so no-one enjoys parking that much).

While it may be similar to some other smaller cars on the market with a cheaper price tag, the luxury, driveability and overall signature understated elegance of this premium package means it runs rings around its competitors. Four in fact.
