Capturing hidden moments With a simple and stylish approach, Maree Coster creates unique photo art for your family to treasure.

Brisbane Baby Photography is giving away a photo Starting her artistic career with painting, Maree Coster quickly found she had a real passion for her on-the-side interest, photography. After getting qualified in 2010 she made the switch and began shooting everything from weddings to corporate portraits, fashion, glamour and everything in between.

After trying so many different styles, she developed a penchant for working with kids and families and began Brisbane Baby Photography in 2011. “I love catching moments the parents don’t normally get to see because they’re too busy running after their kids,” she says. “Playing with the kids, capturing them as they grow and seeing all the different stages, I just love it.”

sitting and massive print to one lucky Style reader for Christmas! Entries close November 30.

To enter, visit www.stylemagazines.com.au Maree says the best part about her business is the relationships she develops with her clients. “I’ll see them at pregnancy and then their first baby, and a couple of years later we’ll do the pregnancy, the second baby and the family photos,” she says.

“I remember all of my clients by name. It’s such a personalised business.”

With her two little ones getting older, Maree will now be able to focus more energy into her business and her clients, which she says will

certainly help with the growing workload.

“My client base has actually doubled every year since opening because I get so many referrals,” she says. “We are going to grow and expand but I want to keep that personal touch, which is why I’ll be the only photographer.”

In the Summertime…

Outdoors. That is where we’ll be.

Is it time to integrate your kitchen and living spaces with the great outdoors?

It may be another month until summer is officially here, but like most things summer prep takes time and effort. Whether it’s that perfect tan, bikini bod or a stylish outdoor space for summer entertaining and socialising.

Australians and Queenslanders in particular are lucky enough to have a climate that favours outdoor parties, barbecues and family get togethers almost all year round. For this reason, it’s easy to see the value in a well-designed and practical outdoor kitchen and living space.

Sublime Architectural Interiors design director

stylemagazines.com.au

now is the best time to be thinking about updating your outdoor space.

Kim Duffin says now is the best time to be thinking about updating your outdoor space, with isolated outdoor kitchens becoming a major trend for summer 2014.

“People want to be able to store, prepare, cook and present in the one space without the need to refer back to the main kitchen in the house,” he says, adding that good storage around the barbecue and appropriate space for housing rubbish is essential for a practical design.

Outdoor spaces become an extension of the home’s interior, with colour themes stripped back

to organic earthy tones and incorporating bright colour palettes from the home to add a splash of colour.

Kim says another big trend is incorporating fixed seating or booths for lounging, strongly suggesting a day bed is worth investing in.

Engage with the design professionals at Sublime to ensure you craft the perfect entertaining hub, while adding value to your home and your lifestyle.

Guide to the perfect summer tan

5 Golden Rules

If you’re a choosy Susie when it comes to your tan, this simple guide will help you achieve the tan your heart desires. By Brookie Jesberg.

For a perfect tan like Kate Moss - St Tropez is the way to go.

At-Home Tanning Picks

Salon Tan Picks

St Tropez Express Self Tan Mousse 1 - 3 hour wash off (from $49.95) Great for all skin types.

Lasts up to five to seven days, and the longer you leave it the darker it gets.

Vani-T Self Tan 6 - 8 hour wash off (from $42.95) Great for medium to dark skin tones. Fast drying so it won’t feel like you’re sleeping in muck.

St Tropez Self Tan Luxe Dry Oil 6 - 8 hour wash off (from $49.95) Newly released, this luxurious, natural-looking, self-tan oil hydrates skin for up to seven days.

St Tropez express 1 - 3 hour wash off ($35-$45 per application) Suitable for all skin types including dry skin, lasts up to seven days, and is less patchy when fading off. Perfect for a sun kissed look without looking over done.

Vani-T Ultra Dark 1 - 3 hour wash off ($35-$45 per application) It dries fast, lasts at least seven to 10 days, has organic based DHA’s and is perfect for that deep Brazilian looking tan.

PLATINUM CLASS LOTTERY NO. 52 CLOSES: 15/12/14 | DRAWN: 19/12/14

1. Gently exfoliate the night before, or if you’re getting your tan at night exfoliate in the morning. Use an oil-based scrub to soothe skin and hydrate.

2. Always shave after exfoliating (never before) to prevent aggravation to the skin.

3. Do not use underarm deodorant before your tan, as this will turn the tan under your arms green!

4. Thoroughly apply Sorbelene cream to any joints, shins, face and forearms to prevent dryness.

5. Allow two showers before the event (to ensure your clothes don’t stain and to prevent tan odour).

Favourite aspect of the job? Helping people move on, seeing buyers create a new life and also realising you are making a difference, big and small, each day for our sellers.

What’s the craziest or out-of-the-box thing you’ve done to sell for a client? I held a cocktail party for selected clients in a home that had recently been renovated. I helped advise them on their renovations to ensure it would look fantastic not just for sale, but in years to come. It sold for a record price.

Life motto? Live like every day is your last.

Forget throwing ‘a shrimp on the barbie’. . welcome the new era of barbecuing!

fire up the grill We might distance our likeness to the Yanks, but Aussie BBQs and Fireplaces say we share the same undeniable passion for barbecuing!

Josh Galetto from Aussie BBQs and Fireplaces

The traditional Australian barbecue is currently undergoing a massive transformation, as it continues to grow as an integral part of outdoor kitchen and entertaining areas.

Josh Galetto from Aussie BBQs and Fireplaces shares the passion so many Australians have for the scorching, sizzling and flaming grills and aromas that only a barbecue can bring, and so he chases and embraces new discoveries in cooking techniques and barbecues that will benefit his customers.

In order to become a true barbecue boss you need to learn from the best and that’s exactly what Josh has been busy doing. He

recently returned from the world’s largest barbecue contest in America; The American Royal BBQ Contest.

Josh says the contest held in Kansas City had over 560 competing teams, with the aromas, cooking tips and styles beyond his wildest imaginations.

Josh now has a firm grasp on the fabulous culture of the American BBQ, embracing their flavoursome take on using larger, cheaper cuts of meat, such as racks of ribs, pork shoulders or briskets and cooking them “low-n-slow” until tender.

“Barbecuing gourmet treats for your family

and friends is what it is all about. So invite your friends around and put some ribs in the smoker and enjoy!”

FAST LANE Everyone dreams of driving a Ferrari… and now the temptation has truly arrived with Queensland’s official Ferrari dealership opening in Brisbane.

During October, FERRARI Brisbane became the new official and exclusive Ferrari dealership for Queensland. You may have noticed the Ferrari placement within high-end Space Furniture’s front windows on James Street, this is where Ferrari Brisbane will operate an innovative ‘pop up showroom’ until early 2015, when their new location is finalised.

The luxury Italian stable is known for its powerful performance and stylish aesthetics and has been used in A-list movies since its creation over 65 years ago.

Looking for an apartment with that unique ‘wow factor’? Potential homeowners and investors are encouraged to register their interest for the new vibrant inner-city urban apartments overlooking the historic Boggo Road Gaol.

Less than three kilometres from the CBD, Boggo Road, being undertaken by Leighton Properties at Dutton Park in Brisbane, offers a

mix of residential apartments, commercial office spaces and a cultural and retail marketplace.

Leighton Properties National Head of Residential, Gavin Tonnet says the intelligent and thoughtful designs of the apartments are the result of collaborations between local designers Cox Rayner Architects and DC8 Studio.

“Located high on the hill, the development

is north facing, has stunning open views to the city and a brilliantly conceived master plan. The plan focuses on spaciousness and privacy to provide a bright, private and leafy ambience, while the architecture will complement, without replicating, the goal’s historical fabric.

Tonnet says the design includes a sensitive restoration of the Goal’s walls and buildings, with the urban apartments offering practical balconies, a peaceful and private residents’ rooftop terrace and a new park with sub-tropical plantings.

Boggo Road is primed to become one of the Inner South’s favourite locations, with a high quality marketplace to be run by the creators and operators of the James Street Market in New Farm, Callie Malouf Investments.

The first apartments to be released for sale are priced from $379,000 and are situated on Peter Doherty Street, off Annerley Road.

STYLE

man

Kesh Baines | 38 | M.J. Bale State Manager

You may find Kesh Baines in a suit and tie during the working week, but his fashion mantra is “style with comfort” and believes there are no ‘fashion rules’.

“style has to be a reflection of your personality and mine is edgy and out there.”

28

How would you describe your style? It definitely pushes boundaries. Style has to be a reflection of your personality and mine is edgy and out there. But there is also a classic component that is timeless and never goes out of style.

How do you dress for work?

Always in M.J. Bale and always in a suit. I like to go for the wow factor as well as showcase the quality and style that is M.J. Bale.

What’s your go-to item/what do you live in? Definitely shorts and a tee! Simple, easy and doesn’t need to be ironed.

What do you think is the most important thing for women when it comes to fashion? Dress for your shape! So many women want to follow trends, however fashion is about class and confidence and most importantly looking great. Every woman should have a few classic go to pieces in her wardrobe that flatter and inspire.

Do you follow any fashion rules?

There’s rules?! I more trust my instinct on what looks good on me. I definitely like to be on trend but fashion rules don’t dominate my purchasing. Fashion is about confidence.

Whose celebrity style do you admire? Justin Timberlake…. He’s just so cool!

You’re most indulgent fashion purchase? Limited Edition Tag Heuer watch.

What fashion trend will you never try? Short swim shorts.

Do you prefer…

Boxers or briefs? Briefs.

Smart suits or cool casual?

Definitely suits.

Short back and sides or a little scruffy? Short back and sides.

Where can we find you…..

On a Saturday night? Depends, more than likely in Brisbane Cloudland.

On a Sunday morning? Warming up for a day of cricket or golf.

On your next holiday?

Las Vegas!

Name: Matthew Hilan Age: 39 Occupation: Owner/Manager, Dutch Courage Officers’ Mess

Short ‘n’ Sweet

Bachelor Profile

Your fave: Suburb? Clovelly, Sydney.

Spot for a knock-off drink? Dutch Courage!

Place for a first date?

Elixir or Sixes & Sevens.

Breakfast spot?

By the pool.

Place for a Saturday night boogie? Our Place or The Met.

Could you be the intelligent brunette Dutch Courage’s Matthew Hilan is looking for? There’s only one deal breaker and it involves satisfying his sweet tooth cravings!

How would an ex-girlfriend describe you? As the one that got away of course.

What’s the first thing you notice in a potential partner? It would have to be their poise and sense of style.

What’s the most important quality a partner needs to have? The ability to bake raspberry friands - that is a deal breaker.

Do you have a ‘type’? Intelligent brunettes with brown eyes, a sense of fun and a heart of gold.

Do you have any horror dating stories? Many! Although ‘Yes/No Girl’ would be the winner, she got stylemagazines.com.au

that nickname because she only ever provided Yes and No answers in conversations. It was definitely odd.

What’s your worst habit? My texting can be tardy at the best of times!

If you were a celebrity who would you be? Sean Connery.

What’s the scariest thing you’ve ever done? Riding in an F/A-18 Hornet on a weak stomach – I’m a former Air Combat Officer for the RAAF, so it is hard to beat that in terms of scariest.

What do you like to do on your day off? Drink. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.

LABBY: Trackside Trends With this year’s Polo in the City quickly approaching, Labby hit up M.J. Bale for some styling tips for the guys.

Kesh, State Manager of M.J. Bale, says that cottons and linens are the best bet for men this polo season. He showed Labby how to mix and match bright colours, give loafers with shorts a go and advised him to definitely stay away from the suits this season!

A simple yet profound question from APRA award winning, Brisbane songwriter Mark Sholtez to Queenslander Luke Kennedy; “What do you want to say?” paved the way to the artists collaborating on alluring new music and their upcoming live venture, Off The Record.

“Working with Mark in the producer’s chair was easy from the first session.” Luke explains. “The proof is in the pudding, as the first song we ever wrote looks likely to be the first single off my EP. Writing my own music has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve done in my career so far.”

Before his role on The Voice, Luke garnered recognition for singing internationally with The Ten Tenors and performing the leading role in Jesus Christ Superstar across Australia. Although promoting his debut album on tour late last year,

Off The Record will be Luke’s first time performing his original music.

“The last 18 months have involved a lot of exploration for me. On The Voice I sang everything from classical to rock and pop. To be faced with the challenge of writing and recording something in my own style, well that took some discovery,” explains Luke who highly values Mark’s support.

Promising to deliver monumental music, direct from the heart, Off The Record is not to be missed. It is open to the public in the intimate surrounds of ‘The Judy’s’ boutique performance space on Friday November 21 and Saturday 22.

Tickets range from $35-$39 and are available online.

Hashtag etiquette

How to be a Better Cook

Local conscience

Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and even Snapchat are evolving as a way to generate sales for both services and products. It’s a unique and easy way of building a following, engaging with your customer base, and gauging what they like - and don’t like.

It’s all very well to be impromptu on your personal account but when it comes to business and social media, your content needs to be wellresearched and strategic, and needs to align with your company’s branding and message.

One of the common mistakes that businesses are making in today’s social media world is the violation of the hashtag. How often have you seen businesses swarm their comments section with a bevy of hash tags that are there purely as a ploy to get more followers?

Whatever the reason, Style loves a good hash tag and we want fellow businesses and influencers to be educated on how to use them.

Jump on to our website to read out top five hashtag rules and stay in your followers’ good books!

With the right tools and a little preparation anyone can cook. The first step should be to read recipes through completely. Make sure you check whether you need to pre-heat the oven and prepare your ingredients before you start as chefs do - mise en place!

Invest in a couple of good knives - a cook’s knife and a paring knife for smaller jobs - and keep them professionally sharpened. A less than sharp knife is a danger in the kitchen.

Have a good-sized chopping board (my preference is for wood but polypropylene is fine too) and pop a folded tea towel under it for stability when chopping. Use room temperature ingredients and hot pans.

Keep the kitchen chaos-free by cleaning as you go. Fill the sink with hot soapy water and put plates and pans into it as you use them.

Most importantly keep tasting as you cook and learn to trust your own instincts. Go to my website www.daltonhospitality.com.au for more tips and a recipe for people who claim they ‘can’t cook’.

It might be just me, my age and my business’ local nature, but does anyone else feel the re-emergence of local sport? How good does the Intrust Super Cup galvanise communities across the state in Rugby League? Like the Northern Pride conquering Queensland and then winning the Interstate Championship, with heaps of North Queensland support.

It’s local sporting clubs who create players, capable of filling international ranks, and provide skills and mates for life. Our systems in Queensland are fantastic, although costs are getting high and volunteerism is getting much harder. It’s crucial for sportsminded businesses to help these types of clubs with these problems as well as engage with their memberships for some return.

At Hoppy’s we deal with rugby, soccer, league and cricket all over Brisbane with the aim of mutual benefit. Congrats to the young Norths sides who will be so much better for the finals experience at Cricket headquarters. Even though their opponents, University, proved too good.

brows give a youthful look

Secrets to radiant skin

Picks of the season

WHAT WOMAN wouldn’t want to look younger than they are, without treatments like botox, face-lifts or microdermabrasion to lift their faces. Even though we favour these treatments, there is an organic quick fix and it’s all about worshiping your facial structure and lift-lines by investing in brows that enhance your natural beauty.

The worst eyebrow offenders are the semicircle eyebrow shape, as they reflect the rounded shape of under eye bags, drawing attention to the nasty dark circles under the eyes and magnifying fine lines, leading to a drier looking, lacklustre complexion. It’s these eyebrows that are currently aging 80% of Australian women by at least 10 years.

Everyone has four natural facial lift-lines and with the correct brows enhancing these features you can achieve an organic face-lift look. So let my Arch Angels® work some youthful magic and use your natural facial lift-lines to wind back the clock in just 40 minutes at The Brow Bar locations!

The top secrets to keeping your facial complexion looking healthy and radiant is all in your ability to keep the skin smooth and hydrated enough to reflect light.

When you’re under 20 your skin cells turn over every 28 days, by your 20s, turnover slows, and between 30 and 40, that rate can slow to every 40 days. Redundant dead skin cells can build up, pigmentation can worsen and the skin, in general, doesn’t function as well as it would in your youth. This can all contribute to diffusing the light on your features and making skin appear dull.

You can remove old skin cells by using a prescribed exfoliator, one suited to your own unique skins needs. Gone are the days of harsh scrubs and buffs, there are plenty of phenomenal options these days, including biomimetic peptides that actually help your cells remember when they are meant to detach.

Always seek professional advice before choosing products for the health of your skin.

Your skin will love you for it!

As Sirromet’s Chief Winemaker, I invite you to open up to our award-winning wines. Sirromet has again been recognised as a 5-star winery by James Halliday, Australia’s pre-eminent wine critic. We are proud to have collected over 750 national and international wine awards since opening in 2000.

As spring looms, the best wines of this season are the 2014 white wines from our Vineyard Selection range, as they are fresh, clean and juicy… perfect to match with seafood in the warmer months.

In particular, the 2014 Verdelho with green apple, citrus and custard apple tones and a lovely spinal acidity. As well as the 2014 Pinot Gris, showing fresh cut pears, honeysuckle and citrus notes, but also nice and creamy.

If you’re looking for the perfect bubbly, go for a ‘vintage’ sparkling, as these show unique characters and embrace the season it was produced in. A good example is our 2009 Signature Collection Pinot Noir Chardonnay, which displays a fresh pretty palate showing restrained white strawberry and musk notes with subtle toastiness.

combat food intolerance

Death and your super

cruising Solo?

Many people suffer from bloating, abdominal pain, wind, as well as constipation and diarrhoea daily. In some instances your doctor may diagnose you with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, otherwise known as IBS, or you may have an underlying medical condition or food intolerance such as coeliac disease.

The two factors most commonly associated with IBS are stress and diet. Dietary factors include fibre, gluten, lactose (sugar in cows milk) and fructose (sugar in fruit and vegetables), as well as natural and artificial food chemicals such as salicylates, amines and MSG. With leading research into diet and gastrointestinal disorders, there are now effective treatments for people with IBS. Among these are the Low FODMAP diet and Elimination diet.

If food intolerance is suspected, it is important to work closely with an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) to investigate food triggers and develop an appropriate dietary plan that reduces symptoms while meeting your nutrient requirements.

It’s important to understand how to dispose of interest in your superannuation fund (managed or self-managed) upon death.

NOMINATIONS: The Trust Deed controls your superannuation fund and how you leave your Death Benefit. Some funds allow for nominations of beneficiary. The beneficiary must fall within that class of people allowed by legislation to receive it.

If no nomination is made, the benefit will either be paid into your Estate and distributed via your Will, or distributed by the Trustee, as they see fit.

TAX LIABILITY: Before distributions are made, the proposed beneficiary should get advice on taxation consequences from an accountant and solicitor. A Death Benefit Dependent is able to receive a superannuation death benefit, taxfree. Where a non-dependent tax beneficiary receives a benefit direct from a Deceased’s superannuation fund containing a taxable component, tax will be paid by that beneficiary.

Early Claim: If retired and over 60 years old, you can withdraw superannuation and give it to recipients tax free in their hands.

Cruises are not just for couples and families, many cruise lines are now offering sole use of cabins at very reasonable rates on very exclusive ships. Here are just two to whet your appetite: • Compagnie Du Ponant Cruises offer luxurious small ship sailing, and have no solo supplement on selected cruises until April 2016. They offer excellent service, luxury, exclusive destinations and gourmet cuisine.

Sound like the perfect holiday? Cruising aboard Ponant is like sailing on a private mega yacht with a French touch.

• Viking Cruise ships are equally as luxurious and are offering 40% off standard staterooms on most European cruises, as well as a Business class fare to Europe from only $5,995*. *Terms and Conditions apply.

With many worldwide destinations, both ocean and river cruising, we can help you selectively choose the right cruise for your needs. Travelling solo is a great way to visit the world... and make new friends!

Blending Spaces

H2o - THE WAY TO GO

ON BEING A GOOD MO BRO

We’re beginning to shake off the winter blues and look forward to the traditional summer holiday period, with parties, barbecues and family get togethers, when the kitchen and living spaces take centre stage.

We often find that the design for our home does not match how we live or how much our climate affects the way we socialise and entertain and most clients are now opting to blend the indoor and outdoor living spaces, which can be achieved seamlessly with a little planning.

Consider the following to see if the space you want to create is going to meet your objectives: Orientation – An adjoining outdoor space may not be suitable If your kitchen and living areas face due west.

Privacy – Consider your view AND the view the neighbours will get inside your home.

Size - A Juliet balcony is not really a wise investment to help you achieve the outdoor feeling.

When a blended space is designed right, it will enhance both the indoors and outdoors while adding value to your home and your lifestyle.

With the arrival of Brisbane’s hot sunny summer days, it’s important when you’re out and about to keep hydrated and drink plenty of water.

Water is essential for good health as it is a vital nutrient that plays a critical role in all body functions, and we must replenish it with fresh supplies every day. Despite it being an essential part of life, water is often forgotten in diet and meal plans which means we often forget to consume enough!

Besides keeping you alive and your body functioning healthily, water is one of the best kept all-in-one diet secrets. Water is important in the weight loss process because it prevents you from snacking between meals. A lot of the time when you think you feel hungry you are actually thirsty and water keeps you feeling fuller for longer.

If you’re feeling fatigued, tired or have low energy, you may be mildly dehydrated. So remember, two litres of water every day for a balanced diet and good health!

GUYS HAVE LONG had poor help-seeking behaviours: not going to a GP, failing to get stuff fixed, ignoring their mental health and relationships.

But Movember turns all that around. Rather than being masters of self-deception and avoidance, Movember sees blokes growing moustaches to facilitate conversations about health.

Having prostate and testicular checks, talking about mental health, and getting in good physical shape is the goal. Knowledge is power, prevention is critical, and early detection is essential. Your choices can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and certain cancers! Follow these steps: • Have your GP measure blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose.

• Monitor your weight and waistline.

• Know your family health history.

• Maintain a balanced healthy diet.

• Move regularly and wear sunscreen.

• Chillax and manage stress.

• Minimise alcohol and don’t smoke.

• Sleep well and reflect often.

• Stay connected to fun friends, and smile!

BUYING OFF THE PLAN

Varicose Veins and Menopause

Spring/Summer Essentials

Many buy off the plan as an investment, but purchasing off the plan can also offer real advantages for owner occupiers.

While you can’t move in immediately, buying off the plan gives you time – first home buyers have time to save for settlement with the added bonus of the first home buyers’ grant.

Downsizers have the advantage of time to coordinate the sale of an existing property. This can be stressful and provides valuable time to coordinate and plan your move.

Another benefit is choosing your property from everything available in a development, allowing you to hopefully secure the property you want, whilst potentially adding customised personal touches to finishes.

You are also securing a brand new apartment at today’s prices, which is particularly beneficial right now while the market is still relatively low and currently rising.

Remember that selecting the right project and developer, plus doing your research, is critical to success in buying off the plan.

Hot flushes, mood swings and night sweats are some well-known, unpleasant menopause symptoms, but there are many other less common symptoms, including varicose veins.

There are many hormonal changes which evolve during menopause, one of these being the natural decline of the production of Estrogen and Progesterone by the ovaries. Estrogen and progesterone have positive effects on the circulatory system. Hormonal fluctuations can result in the relaxation of vein walls and may eventually lead to varicose veins. When vein walls relax, there is less force moving blood back to the heart from your extremities, and if blood starts to pool downwards, this can lead to backpressure causing varicose veins.

Metabolism also slows, leading to easier weight gain, which is closely associated with an enhanced risk of vein disease due to additional pressure on veins.

It’s important for all women be aware of their cardiovascular health to prevent or even avoid varicose veins during menopause.

Spring is my favourite time of year. Here are my 10 essentials for your wardrobe: 1. White Shirt – a versatile garment to wear with shorts, chinos and denim.

2. Soft Collared Linen Shirt – look for a light purple or pink, and make it the outfit’s hero.

3. Cotton Short – look for a light raspberry or aqua to pair with your white shirt.

4. Cotton Chino – showing the ankle is a must, ensure your cuff is tapered.

5. Bold Coloured Suit – A strong blue is perfect for the races, polo and spring weddings.

6. Coloured socks – look for light pink, aqua and pale blues.

7. Unconstructed Cotton Jacket – this versatile piece can be worn with jeans and chinos.

8. Espadrilles – Be bold with you colour choice; don’t be afraid to make a small statement.

9. Colourful Pocket Handkerchief – think butterflies, flowers and small patterns.

10. Lapel Pins – Can be used instead of a pocket handkerchief for a unique accessory.

QT Gold Coast is winding back the clock this New Year’s Eve to 1959, transforming into the fictional Magic City’s famous Miramar Playa of South Beach.

Although the American TV show only ran for two series, QT Management developed an affinity with Magic City (now running weekly on Foxtel’s SoHo channel) after a guest alerted them to the many similarities between the show and QT Gold Coast in terms of location and design.

And so, QT will embrace the theme

join qt hotel, gold coast for their kitschy 1959 new year’s eve transformation. throughout the hotel – from the Day Spa through to the Bazaar Restaurant.

The famed Stingray Bar will put on an evening full of 1959 classics, including a big band, retro food stations and cocktail lounge, paired with a twohour drinks package of beer, wine and soft drink.

QT restaurant Bazaar will be serving up their signature market-place style dinner offerings, with a glass of Champagne and VIP access to Stingray’s NYE party for $149 per person.

And in an era that defined glamour and beauty for many women, it wouldn’t be a 50s party

without embracing the makeup trends of iconic actresses Grace Kelly and Sophia Loren with a customised Issada makeover at spaQ. And don’t let the 1959 festivities end there. Wrap up the celebrations with a stay in one of QT’s gorgeously kitschy rooms, from $306 per night.

Oriental Odyssey Buckle up teppanyaki lovers. Brace yourselves dumpling enthusiasts.

Asian market-style dining has arrived at Westfield Garden City.

Have you tried out Garden City’s newest culinary precinct? 8 Street is a product of the $400 million redevelopment of the shopping mecca, adding a unique and innovative oriental market experience to this already bustling retail establishment.

Shoppers can experience a dollop of China, a portion of Korea, a plate of Japan, or a serving of Thailand all on the same traditionally designed street.

A stroll down 8 Street promises to be reminiscent of a stroll through a Shanghai market, with food being prepared before your eyes, stimulating the senses and challenging your cultural inhibitions.

8 Street will offer revellers, diners and shoppers a myriad of authentic oriental establishments too abundant to list.

Highlights include: Teppanyaki Lovers – a Japanese restaurant, Madtongsan – a Korean establishment, Okonomi House – Japanese pizza

and dessert, BUN – a Vietnamese bistro and Gong Cha – an oriental milk tea house.

Two Asian style beer gardens complete this fabulous revamp, with an extensive selection of genuine high-quality Asian beers and cocktails on offer for anyone keen to get their drink on. They also offer an array of function spaces for anyone who desires to host an event at this prestine location.

In summary, 8 Street embodies and celebrates all that is multi-cultural about Brisbane society and is certainly an avenue that every international foodie should take a stroll down!

The newcomer to their menu, Asian slaw with chicken, dishes up a zesty taste sensation.

Fresh and zesty

FantAsia is again setting the benchmark for fast, healthy Asian food, with the addition of a new dish in time for summer.

The food court. It was once the sort of place you used to venture into only as a last resort, where your time would be spent navigating between the bain-maries holding unappetizing or calorie-laden food.

Well, the times they are a’changing. FantAsia is setting the benchmark for fast, Asian cuisine.

They take a fresh, healthy approach to the food court, dishing up restaurant quality meals prepared daily that don’t pack on the kilos.

The eatery has just opened their ninth Queensland store at Toowong, offering hungry punters an array of tasty Asian-inspired meals.

On the menu, you’ll find dishes like the ever popular Tokyo beef, steamed barramundi with ginger and shallot pesto, and Saigon lemongrass chicken.

Brand new to the FantAsia menu is the Asian slaw with chicken. Forget heavy mayo on limp cabbage; the zesty, herb and garlic vinaigrette is the star of this twist on the classic coleslaw, with strips of steamed chicken breast atop crunchy vegetables.

FantAsia take the hassle out of Christmas and corporate parties too, with finger food catering options available including platters of steamed dim sims, gyozas, spicy chicken wings and much more.

For a list of locations and more information about their catering menu, check out their website.

it up Jerome Dalton gives us some inside information into finding the best caterer.

Secret Chefs’ business Style sits down with Jerome Dalton of Dalton Hospitality to get the inside word about his in-demand catering company.

What should people look for in a caterer?

Flexibility rather than a one-size-fits all approach.

Someone who is willing to listen to the client brief and think beyond the square (or the alternate drop!). At Dalton we have no set menus and instead work with each client to develop a menu along with a service style to suit each event, including the budget and location. We cook everything from scratch, right down to our own sauces and conserves, and even grow many of our own herbs. I’ve been in the food business for more than 25 years, and we’ve catered for everything from soirees on super yachts to suburban surprise parties.

What is the smallest and the biggest event you’ve catered for? The biggest event we’ve 66

catered was a Variety Club dinner for 2,000 people. The smallest was a wedding proposal in East Brisbane. They guy sent his bride-to-be on a treasure hunt with clues planted all over Brisbane.

When she got back home, she was led to the back garden. We’d set up a table where he proposed to her with Champagne before myself and a waiter served a five-course dinner of her favourite dishes.

They’d met working on a mango farm, so his brief was that dessert had to include a mango.

Your most famous client? Two years ago we were contacted by the Federal Government and asked to cater for a VIP - a VVIP in fact - Queen Elizabeth. We served her a traditional morning tea on the MV Adrenaline as she cruised the Brisbane River.

Where do you do events? Absolutely anywhere. From some really cool venues we have relationships with private homes and public spaces such as parks and beaches (with permission).

What are the hot trends in catering right now? It’s all a lot more casual and rustic with shared tables, grazing stations, and make-yourown lunch tables, with all kinds of breads, salads, charcuterie and sauces. Live oyster bars and cheese tables are popular, and the Champagne tower is back. Styling wise, we’re seeing a lot of vintage plates and utensils.

Culinary King Stylish, friendly and honest – Grant Parry creates cuisine that commands attention at Gold Coast restaurant, Videre.

Grant Parry

Read the full interview at www.stylemagazines.com.au

From working under some of the biggest names in food, including Peter Gilmore of Sydney’s Quay and the oneand-only Gordon Ramsey, to managing restaurants in Dubai and Qatar, Grant Parry is now putting his talent to work at Videre Restaurant at the Gold Coast’s RACV Royal Pines Resort.

But he says his first taste of culinary inspiration came much younger. “I remember seeing the Muppet Show with the Swedish Chef when I was seven years old. Then being a Chef just became more and more what I wanted to do. I’ve never ever wanted to do anything else.”

With a focus on honest food, Grant has created an inventive and absolutely stunning menu at Videre, meticulously selecting flavours that linger with you long after your visit. In his own words, “Everything is on the plate for a reason.”

Santa’s treats are coming to town!

“I try to do simple things, but do them perfect every time. The worst thing would be for somebody to come in and say, ‘I had four courses. Two were average, one was okay, one was standout.’ That means I haven’t done my job. I want them to say, ‘It was all fantastic from start to finish.’”

Grant’s attention to perfection has earned some well-deserved recognition for Videre, including being awarded a Chef Hat in the 2014 Australian Good Food and Travel Guide Restaurant Awards.

“We sort of have a buzz about us at the moment, people are starting to believe in us. We’re definitely pulling in the right direction.”

This time of year heralds not only the Spring Racing Carnival but also the spring selling season in real estate. There’s always a lack of stock over winter and then we see huge buyer build up, creating a small surge into the spring market. The trick to choosing a winner – just like in horse racing – is to do your research and make sure your picks match your needs and your budget rather than being dazzled by the hype and the fanfare. photographed at the new trYp fortitude ValleY hotel

Cosmetic re-ThINK If daily makeup applications have you frazzled… maybe it’s time to reconsider cosmetic tattooing.

Over the past 10 years, techniques, products and equipment have dramatically evolved the cosmetic tattooing field, with a new generation of eyebrow tattooing procedures now ticking all the boxes for beautiful and natural looking brows.

Cosmetic tattoo practitioner Evelyn Orford says having a cosmetic tattoo needn’t be a scary process, ensuring you will feel confident that your face is in good hands after a personal consultation at her clinic.

Evelyn says a softer approach to brow tattooing is becoming increasingly favoured over the traditional dramatic, solid style brow.

“A very beautiful and natural looking eyebrow can be achieved with hair-stroke, micro-blading, feathering, powdering and shading.

“We work with clients’ natural brow shapes, facial planes, complexion and hair colour to embellish what they already have, as most people want to look like evelyn works with clients’ natural brow shapes to themselves… but just an improved embellish what they already have! version,” she says.

If you’re looking for celebrity cosmetic tattoo offers eyeliner, lip liner and full lip cosmetic tattoo inspiration, Evelyn says Liv Tyler has cosmetic lip, procedures for anyone who wants to look expertly brows and eyeliner, Michelle Obama has brows, groomed everyday with a minimum fuss approach.

Premium beauty Simply Laser share their educational tips for achieving the laser and skin results you deserve.

Owner Leona Gallagher

ensure your BEAUTY is in good hands with award winning medical grade technology lasers and nonsurgical equipment at Simply Laser.

They are devoted to providing appropriate and relevant treatments that will enhance your appearance and have you looking and feeling your best all year round.

Simply Laser is the only clinic in Queensland to have the award winning Cynosure Apogee Elite Lasers, which offers a laser treatment that is safe and versatile for both light and dark skin tones and is highly effective for permanent hair removal.

The clinic’s co-owner Leona Gallagher recommends laser over IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments, as it’s scientifically proven to give superior results.

Leona says people aren’t aware that IPL’s are not genuine lasers and they were initially developed to treat skin conditions and not a solution for long-term permanent hair reduction.

As a result of this, she points out IPL is the less effective of the two treatments.

Cosmetic Procedures with Dr Mohsen and his team of Estheticians • Anti-wrinkle injections • Plasma treatment (PRP) – Skin Rejuvenation Therapy • Brow lift • Dermal fillers • Gummy smile treatment • Medical Grade Skin Range – Obagi • DERMAPEN SKIN NEEDLING Not only does the clinic offer laser hair removal treatments, they also have a range of non-surgical cosmetic treatments, including anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, Dermapen skin needling, skin rejuvenation and pigmentation removal treatments performed by trained, qualified and highly skilled Doctors and Estheticians, including co-owner Dr Mohsen.

Dr Mohsen encourages clients to be transparent about their medical history and not be afraid to ask questions, so you get the product/ procedure that is tailored to your personal needs.

The City’s boutique clinic, offers a one-on-one approach for all your skin and hair removal needs. Leona,

Owner Dr Mohsen Amoli

Make-up

shake-up

Bored of the same make-up routine or jealous of those who pull off bold and trending looks?

With over 15 years experience in the makeup, beauty and fashion industry, Lily Fontana has created workshops designed to make the art of applying makeup simple. She uses her extensive experience as a makeup artist to share her tips, tricks and techniques with eager beauty buffs, including her three summer techniques below:

Glow Everyone wants a bronzed summer glow and Lily says it can be easily achieved using a soft blush brush and a quality bronzing product. In her workshops you can learn to create a warm glow whilst contouring your face with the sweep of your brush.

Shimmer

With a new approach to skincare and makeup you can start summer with a fresh look. Your skin is your biggest absorbing organ and Lily says you need products that are doing you good while making you look good, such as SynergieSkin clinical grade skincare and SynergieMinerals makeup, which are available in store or online.

A great evening look for the party season is a shimmery soft gold with a smouldering eyeline and Lily can show you how to pull it off with style and confidence. She says she teaches her clients how to use gel liner and a small shader brush to set the look, blend and re-line the lash to intensify the bold look.

Everyone can benefit from Lily’s personal or group makeup and skincare workshops, with vouchers available for purchase online, which make for a great Christmas gift idea or an indulgent treat.

Wall to Wall Style chats with owner of Murrays Interiors, Andrea Reilly to suss out the hot interior trends for 2014 and why some rooms call for wallpaper rather than paint.

Tell us about Murrays Interiors… Established in 1972, all of our staff have over 20 years’ experience each. We believe in providing great products and service at a competitive price. We have over 450 wallpaper books to select from and a huge fabric range to view, touch and feel. We can sell the fabric alone so our customers can make their own items or we offer a full service from measure to installation.

Why should people choose wallpaper over paint? Wallpaper adds dimension and depth to a

room that paint cannot offer. Try wallpapering the ceiling or stair risers. Jazzing up the inside of the pantry or inside your walk in wardrobe.

Do you have any tips for those wanting to freshen up their homes for spring? Introducing a splash of colour on a feature wall or soft furnishings can brighten up a tired room.

Can you forecast some trends for us for summer 2015? Definately bright colours, bold patterns and metallics are going to be strong influences. Stripes and textures are timeless.

Name some key designers you stock? Some of our favourites are Eijffinger, Mokum including Catherine Martin, Osborne & Little, Candice Olsen, John Paul Gautier and Designers Guild.

What else does your business offer? We offer a re-upholstery service, timber and Polyresin shutters, external awnings, as well as curtains and blinds.

Island treasure A perfect beach escape that feels a million miles away is closer to home than you think.

Are you craving a summer getaway with a coastal feel, but without the hassle of a long drive or flight? Want an untouched beach paradise with plenty of exciting marine life to frolic with? It exists and it’s only up to an hour’s trip from Brisbane!

This one of a kind beach holiday is right on our doorstep; Stradbroke Island! The island is famous for its scenic headlands, white beaches and interactive marine life, which all peak from November onwards into summer.

The subtropical island’s premier resort Allure Stradbroke Resort offers 82 stylish villas and beach 96

shacks, all self-contained to ensure guests can take full advantage of the laid-back coastal lifestyle North Stradbroke Island is renowned for.

The resort has its own playground, gym, edible garden café and swimming pool, but the true gems have to be seen from beyond the resort’s boundaries. The resort is within walking distance of Queensland’s best north-facing beach, Home Beach and surrounded by a magnificent underwater playground.

During November a wide variety of marine life migrate and frequent Stradbroke’s waters, with it

highly uncommon for divers booked on various tours not to come face-to-face with manta rays, leopard sharks, turtles, octopus, lionfish and much more during a session below the rolling surf.

Those after a quiet couple retreat are also in luck with the Beach shack options. Stradbroke Island is one of the few places on the east coast where you can see the sun rise and set over water… how romantic!
