 TRANSFORMATIVE
BRISBANE
Are you ready for a billion-dollar Brisbane? Our city is experiencing
its most transformative decade ever, writes Emmy-Lou McKean.
WORK HAS BEGUN on the biggest developments
in our city’s history. And it is safe to say the
monumental reconstruction about to take place
will transform Brisbane to a greater degree in the
next five years than any changes have in the past
five decades.
With these major developments in the works, get
ready for an injection of vigour into the laidback
Brisbane lifestyle that will change the way we dine,
socialise, shop and escape for the weekend.
Queen’s Wharf Brisbane – a new world-class
integrated resort development – is one of the
projects predicted to put our city on the map as a
tourism, leisure and entertainment destination.
Today, Queens Wharf Brisbane is comprised of
underused heritage buildings, obsolete government
buildings and neglected riverfront land. But with
14
construction of the new $3 billion entertainment and
lifestyle precinct, covering more than 26 hectares
across land and water, the CBD and river’s edge
will soon become a world-recognised destination.
Queen’s Wharf Brisbane marks the site of the
Brisbane’s first European settlement nearly
200 years ago. The new precinct, expected to
open in 2022, will see the area’s many beautiful
heritage properties revitalised and reactivated
to blend Brisbane’s historic and contemporary
architectural styles.
The world-class precinct will offer 50 restaurants,
cafés and bars, including hatted fine-dining
restaurants, more than 1,000 premium hotel
rooms operating under five brands that are new
to Brisbane – including The Ritz-Carlton and The
Star-branded hotels – a signature Arc building with
Queen’s Wharf Brisbane
a dazzling elevated Sky Deck designed to offer
360-degree views of the river and city, and 2,000
new apartments.
As well as this, the multibillion-dollar development
will make better connections within the city by
providing the CBD with a pedestrian bridge to
South Bank, and creating pedestrian access
underneath Elizabeth Street and Queen’s Park.
It is in this location that Brisbane locals and
tourists can enjoy up to 12 football fields of public
space, including subtropical landscaped walking
routes, a moonlight cinema and an impressive river
arena for the hosting of light and water shows.
The precinct’s construction period will create
about 2,000 jobs while more than 8,000 jobs are
predicted once the development is operational. It is
also projected that Queensland will see an increase
JUNE17
 Howard Smith Wharves

of $1.69 billion spent on tourism annually.

While Queen’s Wharf Brisbane is transforming
the city with a world-class development, work
has commenced on another major construction
project just down the river.
A site that housed a large shipping company
and water-police headquarters in the 1960s
will soon be transformed into a riverside
lifestyle precinct.
Sitting underneath the landmark Story Bridge,
the Howard Smith Wharves project will connect
the New Farm Riverwalk with the CBD while
providing more than 2.7 hectares of public open
space, an exhibition centre, new restaurants and
cafes, and a 164-room hotel.
Existing heritage buildings on site will house
markets, festivals and exhibitions.
As well as dining and entertainment options,
the Howard Smith Wharves project is set to
offer water-based activities and berthing options,
making it the perfect destination for inner-city
residents and visitors alike.
It’s safe to say that the transformations
ahead highlight how Brisbane’s future is
brighter than ever.

DOUBLE-TAP THAT
The Instagram life might be changing the way we view ourselves, writes Siobhan Taylor.
I’LL BE HONEST with you: I use my Instagram to make myself
seem cooler than I actually am (full disclosure: I don’t do it very well).
I get caught up in a pleasure-pain cycle of pseudo-stalking others’
seemingly better lives, and in turn fabricating my own (hopefully
enviable) social-media persona. The goal? To present myself as a
super-chill gal who goes to cool events, is a bit of a high-roller,
and has a huge social circle. It’s so far from the reality that it
makes me laugh.
I AM STILL THINKING IN THE
BACK OF MY MIND, ‘WILL THIS
MAKE A GOOD PHOTO? WHAT
WOULD I CAPTION IT?’
When all we see are picture-perfect filtered snapshots, we
inevitably compare them with our own life and (sometimes) find it
lacking. You know, it’s the whole “grass is greener” thing. While
we have developed an awareness of the manipulative reality of
magazines, we are less likely to critique Instagram photos in the
same way because, despite being better than ever at recognising
16
GOING OUT FOR DRINKS WITH
A GAL PAL LOOKS INSTANTLY
COOLER WITH THE X-PRO II FILTER
photo-manipulation, the image feels so real because we know
the photographer. Or, we feel like we do. Not only a platform for
friends and acquaintances, we also follow travel blogs, beauty
gurus, socialites, and celebrities – dubbed “influencers” – and the
snapshots we see of their personal lives make us feel like we know
them and trust them. For a moment we get an insight into their
experience and our reality is connected with theirs.
I’m not particularly active on Instagram, yet I am also guilty of
capitalising on opportunities to make myself look cooler, more
interesting, and more exciting than I might actually be. Going out for
drinks with a gal pal looks instantly cooler with the X-Pro II filter, while
a selfie at the beach was probably the result of at least 20 attempts.
Even as someone who rarely uses Instagram, I am still thinking in
the back of my mind, “Will this make a good photo? What would I
caption it?” Don’t get me wrong, I love my life. I have a fulfilling job,
a wonderful circle of friends and family, and hobbies that bring me
joy, but sometimes I get lost in the rabbit hole of Insta-jealousy.
Allowing myself the space to exist outside of my iPhone has been
critical in finding greater joy in my life. I still edit my photos and I still
trawl the explore feed, but the magical pull of Instagram has less of
a hold on me.

MARRIAGE
OF POWER
AND GLORY
Porsche has seamlessly blended
the practical needs of drivers
for less than $100k.

WHETHER YOU CRAVE the utility of the Cayenne,

the timeless style of the Boxster, or the premium
luxury and versatility of the Panamera, Porsche
has long been a favourite of those seeking
prestige luxury vehicles.
Porsche Centre Brisbane is renowned
throughout southeast Queensland for its expert
knowledge, commitment to leading customer
service and reliability.
The market for luxury SUVs has been growing
substantially, as we seek vehicles that can keep
up with our active lifestyles, indulge our desire for
sporty luxuries, and still turn heads as we drive
down the street. At the forefront of this market is
the Porsche Macan – the model which, arguably,
all other luxury SUV’s are benchmarked against.
Porsche Australia has expanded its compact
SUV range with the introduction of the new turbo-
charged four-cylinder Macan model. With 185kW
of power and 370Nm of torque, this model is an
ultra-sporty, super agile and incredibly stylish SUV.
The elegant use of space and high-quality
cabin material enhance the luxurious driving
experience. This is an SUV where you could hit
the mountains for a day of exploring, then swing
by the supermarket on the way home: ultimate
versatility and what we are all looking for.
Boasting an attractive driveaway price,
the new Porsche Macan is the ultimate
sporty and dynamic luxury SUV.

A FINE
ROMANCE
We take a peek at one-of-a-kind
antique wedding styling.

FOR BRIDES WHO adore antique inspiration and

vintage styling, Paddington Antique Centre has
put together the ultimate event: from June 10,
the landmark Paddington store will be a haven of
inspiration, celebrating A Fine Romance – A History
of Weddings Throughout the 20th Century.
The month-long showcase will feature more than
a dozen wedding dresses from 1910 through to
the ’80s and elegant displays of engagement rings
and wedding jewellery. The arrays of crystal, silver,
lace and lingerie will evoke the classic elegance
of vintage ceremonies and inspire brides with
the historical romance of exchanging vows.
Modern couples regularly look for innovative
ways to include traditional touches to their
ceremony. One way of doing this is with art-deco
estate engagement rings.

exploring the romantic history of one of the most
special days in everyone’s life.

MY FIRST FORAY into retail was working in my parents’ general grocery

DESCRIBING HER DESIGN aesthetic as a “love
affair with white and neutral tones” and “coastal
and tropical luxe accents”, Chris Curro, of The
White Bungalow, knows how to turn a home into
an oasis for adults and children.
Located in the revitalised suburb of Nundah, The
White Bungalow feels like a resort overflowing with
stunning homewares, plush linens and a boutique
florist. Boasting an impressive 10,100 followers
on Instagram (@thewhitebungalow_), The White
Bungalow is beloved for its expert interior
design advice. With kids of her own, Chris
understands the challenges of designing a room
for children: “My biggest tip is to really think
about choosing design elements that can grow
with them or be easily adapted to different styling
ideas in the future,” she says.

 YOUR CHILD’S HEAD START
We all love our children and only want what is best for them,
so a good start to their education is vital.

RESEARCH SHOWS THAT between birth and
five years of age, children grow and develop faster
than at any other stage of their lives. With so
much brain development occurring and emotional
connections forming, the foundation of their
education is a critical part of their maturity.
Goodstart Early Learning understands this, and
has produced a quality early learning program to
best assist children in the development of their
social-emotional language and the thinking skills
they need to develop. By combining structured and
play-based learning experiences in a welcoming
and engaging environment, children are better able
to develop their skills and explore new concepts.
By encouraging children to explore, discover,
experience, and experiment in a fun and dynamic
way, children are given the freedom and guidance
they need to reach their potential.
The new Adelaide Street facility (opening in the
CBD-located ‘Broadway on Adelaide’ heritage
building in mid-2017) has been designed with
“Sensory development is central to everything Goodstart Early Learning believes in.
Children use their senses to explore and try to make sense of the world around them.”
unique and incredible interiors to better enhance
the learning experience. The naturally inspired
design features dedicated learning spaces for
different ages and activities, as well as a private,
rooftop, natural oasis. The facility offers an entirely
new experience of play-based learning for children
aged six weeks to five years.
FACILITY INCLUSIONS
The facilities are expansive, including:
• Herb and vegetable gardens with
sandpit, water pumps and mud play.
• A curriculum including sports classes, music
lessons, languages, dance and more.
• Secure access, including a safe drop off/
pick up basement with free parking.
• Stunning atrium design with natural
lighting and airflow.
• Onsite chef catering for all dietary requirements.
Senior occupational therapist for Goodstart
Early Learning, Sally Fitzgerald, emphasises
the importance of children exploring their world
through sensory play.
The central location allows parents who work in
the CBD to place their children in a childcare
facility that is closer to them, which gives them
more time to spend with their child. Parents have
access to a secure, free-of-charge carpark, as well
as a unique parents retreat.
The children have the opportunity to enjoy all the
experiences of the local community, including field
trips to Brisbane City Library, City Hall, museums
and farmers markets.
A Twilight Tour on Thursday June 15 from
5.30pm will allow parents to explore the
sensory design elements of their child’s learning
environment. A Kindergarten Program Information
Session will be held on June 29 at 6pm. Goodstart

 BREAKING UP IN THE AGE OF SOCIAL
MEDIA IS WORSENED BY THE FACT

THE EX-FILES THAT WE NEVER REALLY CUT TIES

Can we ever really be friends with an ex? Writes Siobhan Taylor.

IF YOU’VE EVER seen the rom-com classic When
Harry Met Sally, you will be familiar with Harry’s
mantra that a man and a woman can never be
“just friends”. I think we’ve all realised that this
isn’t true (Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio,
obviously), but can the same be said for exes?
Breaking up with an SO (significant other) in
the 21st century is a minefield of uncertainty and
false starts, worsened by the fact that in the age
of social media, we never really cut ties. There’s
the ex you follow on Spotify for banger music
suggestions, the ex whose new girlfriend sends
you a friend request, the ex who deletes all photos
of you from their social media feeds, and a dozen
other variations. There was once a time, or so I am
told, where if your ex lived in Sydney, you could
avoid them by moving to Brisbane. That is no
longer the case when we live in an age where our
lives and relationships exist not just in reality
but also online.
All this begs the question: in the age of social
media, is it possible to be friends with an ex? Well,
maybe. One of my best mates just happens to be
an ex. Following our (amicable? gentle? polite?)
breakup, we cut ties completely. We both moved
on to other relationships and a while later, after
both of those relationships fell apart, we crossed
paths at a mutual friend’s birthday party and have
been good friends ever since. I go to him when I
feel I am lacking direction or feeling overwhelmed
and we regularly catch up over Thai food. People
are often sceptical when I tell them about our
unconventional friendship, but it has never felt
weird to me. It just works.
With social media changing the way we date
and breakup, there’s no rulebook to make the
experience less daunting. All of this considered,
it’s empowering to remember that we still call the
shots, no matter what Harry Burns says.

A CAUSE FOR
APPLAUSE
Brisbane CEOs are making a
stand by going for a run.

BRISBANE BOSSES WILL be lacing up their

sneakers and squeezing into lycra in the next
few months. The reason? To lead their teams
on a 10km fun run to support those affected by
domestic violence in south-east Queensland.
Organised by accountant Maria Becis, this
annual event bands together friends, family
and colleagues to raise much-needed funds for
services supporting victims of domestic violence.
Style Magazines general manager, Paul
Johnston, will run the course alongside 19 other
Brisbane CEOs and their teams.
“This is a great initiative to raise funds for RizeUp
Australia, Women’s Legal Service and the
Run 2 Give Foundation,” Paul said.
“Domestic violence is a huge problem in our
society and one that affects a lot of us.”
To contribute to the cause, Paul and Style
Magazines are committed to having a team
of 100 participants pound the pavement
for charity.
To get in shape, the runners will engage the
services of world champion kickboxer Ian Jacobs
to lead them in a series of bootcamps before the
event in October.
As well as training, social fundraisers will be
hosted regularly to raise funds for and awareness
of domestic violence.
The fun run will be held at the new Stockland
development on Brookbent Road, Pallara, at
4.30pm on October 7, 2017.

OFF THE
BEATEN TRACK
Track pants have joined the likes of bomber jackets
and sneakers for athletic-inspired street style.

WHEN TRACK PANTS returned to the scene
with design throwbacks from leading sportswear
brands, those of us who value comfort breathed a
sigh of relief. Finally, something both comfortable
and cool.
TRACK PANTS HAVE come a long way since the
first Adidas pair back in 1967 (and since the velour
iterations of the early 2000s – never again).
WITH ADIDAS, FILA, and Vetements giving us
heavy doses of ’90s nostalgia, high-end brands
like Dion Lee, Les Copains, and Byblos have
featured their own takes on the streetwear staple in
their Fall 2017 collections.
THE 2017 INTERPRETATION takes a departure
from fitted ankles and heavy fabrics in favour of
straight-legged and slightly baggy fits.
Whether you’re after chic streetstyle or ultra-cool
casual, track pants could be the versatile staple
you’re missing in your wardrobe.
For a smart, chic look, experiment with
counterbalancing the casual fit of the pants with a
more structured top half. Leather, wool knits and
cropped blazers help keep the look polished, while
simple heels and luxe fabrics can help offset any
gym vibes.
For a look that is effortlessly cool (and definitely
not Sporty Spice) try experimenting with skate
shoes and slides, embrace a bold colour palette,
and play with silhouettes and shapes.
For something a little less bulky, accentuate
your waist by half-tucking your blouse or sweater.
Instant cool factor. Avila

INSPIRED BY THE writing of Virginia Woolf,
this month Queensland Performing Arts
Centre is bringing The Royal Ballet’s Olivier
Award winning production, Woolf Works,
exclusively to Brisbane. From June 29,
the stage of the Lyric Theatre will see the
three-act production bravely take elements
from Woolf’s novels, letters, and diaries to
a new dimension. Influenced by the way
Choreographer Wayne McGregor artistically
draws out emotion through performance,
we delved into a hypnotic world of edgy
monochrome textures, raw fabrics and
contemporary silhouettes highlighted
with on-trend translucency. By pushing
the boundaries of modern storytelling,
we developed a new interpretation of
traditional winter fashion. See the theatrical
masterpiece of Woolf Works come alive
on our pages as we tap into this uniquely
thoughtful and ambitious production.

Even those with 20/20 vision are jumping on the

fashion insiders wear frames with clear lenses.

 EYES REVITALISED
Banish those dry eyes with a revolutionary treatment
available at Madonna Rigney Optometry.

MILLIONS IN AUSTRALIA have tired, gritty, sore or red eyes. Madonna

Rigney Optometry has a Dry Eyes Clinic dedicated to the diagnosis and
treatment of dry eyes, blepharitis and Meibomian gland dysfunction,
conditions that often co-exist.
People affected by dry eyes have a problem with their tears. Either
they are not producing enough tears or their tears are of poor quality
and rapidly evaporate.
We offer full assessment, diagnosis and treatment for dry eyes with
technology called IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) that changes lives. IPL stimulates
the Meibomian glands to create a healthier and thicker oil layer for the tears.
This leads to a significant reduction in dryness and an improvement in
redness and vision.
The treatment is painless and no needles or injections are required. Five
gentle applications of the laser are applied to each lower eyelid. The effect
of the IPL treatment is cumulative and maximal results will be achieved once
you have completed your four-session treatment plan.
Talk to us about your eye condition. We will work with you to keep your
eyes moisturised, comfortable and healthy.

STYLING TIPS
with Brendan Cummings
‘LESS IS MORE’
SETS THE SCENE
STYLING AN EVENT need not cost more than
the event itself. In fact, the age-old adage of
“less is more” is prominent in the style world.
If budget or space is holding you back,
don’t let it constrain your creativity. Instead,
focus on key styling elements to set the scene.
A statement entrance or strategically placed
installation can bring an event space together.
Select a colour palette and use it en masse.
Think floor-length navy satin tablecloths or the
use of uplighting in a chosen shade. Why not
add a commanding centerpiece: a cluster of
single-colour blooms or leaves are often more
cost-effective than complex floral arrangements.
Though using a stylist may seem like an
extravagant initial outlay, they’re experts in
achieving the desired look within a budget –
which nearly always works out to be more cost-
effective in the long run. They also have a great
network of contacts and a whole raft of cost-
saving tips at their disposal.
The experts will ensure your next event is
on-trend, on-budget and truly memorable.

CHILDCARE
with Dr Lesley Jones
LEARNING
BY DESIGN
WHEN WE CONSIDER a child’s learning, we
often think of the activities, experiences and
interactions children have with teachers and
friends as critical influences for their education –
and they are. But the play environment is also a
critical element of the educational experience.
Classrooms have come a long way. These
days they are designed to stimulate curiosity,
with opportunities to test children’s skills and
knowledge of the world around them.
In early childhood education, the environment
is said to act as “the third teacher”.
Children are competent learners, especially
when given hands-on tasks. Playgrounds and
classrooms should be designed to trigger inquiry
and independence, support exploration and
allow children to connect with natural elements.
Presented with the right amount of challenge
and risk, young children can “stretch their wings
and learn to fly”. Goodstart’s new centre in
Adelaide Street, Brisbane City, is the culmination
of a year’s planning. Come in for a visit. We think
you’ll like what you see.

ILLUMINATED
THINKING
LIGHTING HAS BECOME the distinguishing
factor between good and great design.
The fundamental elements to consider are task
lighting, mood lighting and directional lighting.
Task lighting is most relevant when planning
the primary preparation zones of a space.
We look at the light’s intensity and consider
which colour to use based on the activities that
will occur in the zone. Bright white lighting is
often used over kitchen benchtops, for example.
LED lighting – either in strips or as
clustered downlighting – is most popular for
this application in the kitchen. The key is
consistency, meaning no dark spots.
Mood lighting is generally softer and more
diffused, often with a dimmer function.
This lighting can be positioned low under
benches or under kickboard height, so it
is hidden from view when turned off.
Directional lighting can be used to focus
on points of interest, for example in display
cabinets. It can also be used to highlight
areas that would otherwise be in shadow.

COFFEE MASTERCLASS
with Penny Wolff
A GROUNDING
IN FINE COFFEE
FOR YEARS, COFFEE enthusiasts have been
urging restaurateurs to step it up when it comes
to specialty coffee. The entrees might be
exceptional, the mains mouth-watering and the
desserts delectable, but when the night ends
with a substandard coffee, it leaves a bad taste
in your mouth.
Now, with the spotlight shining on specialty
coffee, customers are looking at the whole
process. Restaurateurs have an obligation at
the end of the line to make a good cup of coffee.
At Wolff Coffee Roasters, we are delighted to
have partnered with award-winning fine-dining
restaurants that clearly value coffee prepared
and crafted to the same meticulous standards
as the delicious chef-prepared courses before it.
Gerard’s Bistro and The Apo, both in Fortitude

our specialty coffee.

have become an Australian distributor for Heart
Ethical, New Zealand’s premier maker of hand-
dyed and screen-printed fabrics and table linen.
To celebrate we thought, we’d talk about
styling for a dinner party. Here are three simple
rules to help you style your next table and make
that special occasion even more spectacular.
• Colour and food co-ordination: If you are
cooking up a Moroccan feast, think of the
gorgeous colours of Morocco and style
accordingly, or if you are cooking a seafood
feast, think of the beach or ocean.
• You don’t have to eat in the dining room.
If the weather is warm, think about moving
outside to enjoy the twilight.
• Lighting is everything. Soft mood lighting
created with lamps and candles is better
than harsh overhead lights.
Above all, keep it simple and don’t overdo
the flowers and candles. People need room
to eat and to see each other over the table
decorations. Most importantly, have fun.

STYLING TIPS

DO SHOES
MATTER?
IN THE MANY presentations I have done over
the years, I have asked the women in the
audience this question: Do you look at a man’s
shoes before his face? About half say yes, so
what does this mean?
Shoes make an impression. How your shoes
are kept helps women decide your calibre.
If your shoes are unpolished, scuffed and
generally uncared for, maybe that is how you will
treat her. That is the feedback I have received.
To ensure you send the right message,
here some tips:
• polish heels as well as toes;
• shoe polish will hide scuffs;
• polish at least weekly. If you can’t be
bothered, get it done professionally.
Buffed is a great choice;
• if you find you kick things, buy shoes
with a ranting (a rail at the side); and
• rotate your shoes, giving them 24 hours’
rest between wears.
Please let me know if you have any questions
as we sell handmade shoes in store.

TASTE OF TUSCANY
Nativo Kitchen and Bar brings classic, regional Italian
fare to Petrie Terrace, writes Emmy-Lou McKean.
SET IN THE vibrant, buzzing backdrop to Petrie
Terrace, Nativo Kitchen and Wine Bar is the
newest venture from the NKB Group (the brains
behind Nickel Kitchen & Bar and NKB Express).
In the space at The Barracks once occupied by
French Twist, Nativo Kitchen and Wine Bar whisks
diners to the cobbled streets of Tuscany with
its exposed brick structure and genuine,
stripped-back flavours.
Rigatoni al Guanciale:
Slow-braised pork cheek,
fennel, chilli and tomato

Vitello Tonnato:
Rare seared veal, tuna
mayonnaise, fried capers
and manzanillo olives
Head chef Chris Sells is at the helm in Nativo’s
Kitchen, offering everything from wholesome meals
to casual aperitifs and on-the-go Italian treats.
Perusing the lunch and dinner menu, it soon
becomes clear that each dish features some of
Italy’s finest flavours, and we are in for the full
dining experience.
Often when I read a menu, one dish will stand
out to me, but in this case I struggled to decide as
I wanted to try one of everything.
My friend and I agreed to choose two
starters and two mains to share. After a strong
recommendation from the waitress, we decided
on the Insalata Caprese and the Vitello Tonnato.
Our starters were placed in front of us and
they were beyond what you’d imagine authentic
Italian fare to look like. Every ingredient was not
For a truly authentic Italian dining
experience, you can’t go past the

Spaghetti alle Vongole:
Baby clams, white wine,
tomatoes, lemon and parsley
only delicately arranged on the plate for its taste,
but also to create an intricately detailed work of
food art.
We knew our mains were on the way as we
could smell them before they even hit our table.
At first taste, I had already decided that
the Spaghetti alle Vongole with baby clams,
white wine, tomatoes, lemon and parsley was
going to be my favourite dish. The sauce was
rich but perfectly balanced with the freshness
of the baby clams.
Midway through eating our dishes, we made the
swap, and my reluctance to pass over the vongole
quickly turned into happiness after the first taste of
the Rigatoni al Guanciale with slow-braised pork
cheek, fennel, chilli and tomato.
In true Italian style, the thinking behind Nativo
Kitchen and Bar evidently is that hunger is never
an option. That much was obvious from the
generous size of their dishes.
Stepping away from Petrie Terrace’s
contemporary bar-food scene has never
tasted so good.

skincare products target two consumer types:
those who will make do and those who demand

them may actually be worth your precious pennies.
Being aware of your skin type is the first step when
considering taking the plunge. For some skins,
plant extracts are dangerous, thick creams are
a risk, and perfumed products are a definite no.
Those types should lean towards brands like Drunk

VARICOSE VEINS
with Dr Nicholas Kemp
IS HAVING KIDS
TOO VEIN?
WOMEN’S BODIES GO through so many
changes during pregnancy, it can be difficult to
recognise which are regular changes and which
should be discussed with a specialist.
Supporting healthy growth for your baby
puts pressure on blood vessels to produce and
transport extra blood. Even normal weight gain
during pregnancy can put strain on the body,
as does long periods of standing or sitting. All
of these situations can cause veins to become
more visible than normal.
Women should remember to keep active and
healthy in order to keep their blood vessels
functioning as well as possible. Compression
therapy (socks, stockings, leggings) can be
beneficial, and we are able to recommend the
correct style and size for ultimate comfort.
If you experience pain or have a family history
of varicose veins, or if six months after giving
birth, your legs have not returned to normal, it is
recommended you speak with a specialist who
can advise on recommended treatment options
post-birth and before another pregnancy.

DENTAL ADVICE
with Dr Anne-Maree Cole
PUT A SHINE
ON YOUR SMILE
IN THE EARLY 1800s, a dental material called
amalgam was created which allowed decayed
teeth to be filled instead of extracted.
It consisted of silver, tin, copper and up to
50 per cent mercury. This was a huge advance
at the time, but nearly 200 years later, dental
materials have come a long way, yet many
people still have amalgams in their mouth. Today
more aesthetic fillings and crowns can provide a
more confident smile.  uplift angles of a face.
Everything has its pros and cons. Amalgam is
less expensive and it tends to last a long time.
On the other hand, it turns teeth grey, contains
mercury and can expand and crack a tooth,
necessitating a more costly crown.
Tooth-coloured bonded-composite fillings are
more expensive and more suited tow small and
medium fillings. But they bond the tooth together
strongly, maximising the amount of healthy tooth
that remains.
At James Street Dentists, we welcome
patients who would like their old fillings
assessed. 200 years is a long time.

MIGRAINE ADVICE
with Dr Nicole Limberg
MIGRAINE
THERAPY
AS PER TGA guidelines, we are not permitted to
mention the name of the product discussed in
this column.
Injection therapy has been established as a
safe and effective treatment for chronic migraine.
It should be considered in patients who are more
than 18 years of age and who are not pregnant,
breastfeeding or planning for a pregnancy in the
next three months.
Therapy should also be considered if at least
three preventative prescribed medications have
resulted in limiting side effects or have been
unable to provide significant benefits.
Injection therapy is believed to block the
transmission of pain signals between the head,
neck and brain.
It is not a cure for migraines, but it is an
effective treatment option for many patients.
When it works for chronic migraine, the results
can be dramatic, both in reducing headache
days and improving a patient’s quality of life.
Visit our website or call our rooms to speak to
a staff member about treatments.

WOMEN’S HEALTH
with Dr Kroon
MAKING
BABIES
WOMEN OFTEN ASK me how they might
know if they couldn’t make a baby?
To conceive, a woman needs three physical
attributes: regular ovulation, open fallopian
tubes and a healthy pelvic environment.
When the menstrual cycle is irregular and falls
outside the normal 25 to 35-day length, there
is an increased chance that an egg is not
being released each time.
Women with a history of pelvic infection have
an increased risk of tubal blockage. Painful or
heavy periods, particularly if coupled with painful
intercourse or ovulation, may be an indication
of endometriosis or fibroids, which are common
causes of infertility. The most important factor
that determines a women’s fertility is her age –
the older she is, the harder it is to get pregnant.
But women do not shoulder all the blame.
Up to 90 per cent of all infertility issues can
be attributed to the male partner.
So if you are over 35 years of age and are
not pregnant, after 6 months of trying, it’s
time to contact Eve Health for some help.

SOS: SAVE
OUR SKIN
WITH COOLER WEATHER, loss of humidity,
9-hour days in the office, and warmer showers,
many of us will be experiencing dryer skin than
usual. As our skin is stripped of its natural oils,
it’s important to safeguard your skin by keeping
hydrated and moisturised. A good moisturiser is
one that hydrates the skin over a period of time
without clogging your skin. Applying moisturiser
first thing in the morning and immediately after
a shower is the first step of ensuring your skin
stays hydrated and supple throughout winter.
Using a soap-free cleanser can also prevent your
skin from being stripped of too many natural oils,
and getting dry or irritated. As always, healthy
diets rich in fresh fruits and vegetables ensures
that the skin has the essential vitamins and
nutrients for good health. Pairing this with high
water intake ensures your skin stays hydrated
and appears plumper and less wrinkled. If you
find you are experiencing extended periods of
dry and irritated skin, it may be time to schedule
a dermatological review, as there may be
underlying causes.

Enhance your natural uniqueness, don’t hide it.

SKIN PIGMENT
Do you have skin pigmentation? Showcase it. Make
people envious that you are a two-toned goddess.

STATEMENT FOREHEAD
Not felt game enough to wear your hair in that
Kim K-inspired slick bun? Now is the time.

BEAUTY SPOT/MOLE
Okay pretty much half of Hollywood has one.
There’s a reason they were made famous.
Embrace that mole – it’s your beauty(ful) spot.
Inspo: Cindy Crawford
BIRTHMARKS
I am covered in birthmarks. I had a bumpy ride
into this world, and you know what? I love them.
They are like tattoos you are born with – that no
one else has.
Inspo: Cassandra Naud
SCARS
Scars have always been perceived as ‘marks’.
Ways to remove them are forever being googled.
Try to perceive them as something that marks
you as different.
Inspo: Queen Latifah
FRECKLES
Ever since I was 10, I have wanted freckles.
There is something about them that makes a
person look so … natural. People are actually
tattooing them on now.

RED HAIR
Gone are the days of derogatory terms for red
locks! I think we can all agree we are envious of
naturally gorgeous red hair. Riverdale anyone?

COOLER WEATHER IS synonymous with laid-back beauty. As the mornings
get chillier and we yearn to stay in bed longer, undone hair becomes the go-to
look for cool girls everywhere. For inspo, look no further than Rihanna and her
Barbadian mane, Alexa Chung’s bedhead chic style, or Emily Ratajkowski’s
tousled tresses.
Thankfully, this cool, undone look is more effortless to create than it looks.
Wrap your damp hair into a low-bun overnight to create loose waves, and
tousle some Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray through the ends. Dead easy and
super fast, this trick wil have your tresses looking like you just came from the
beach – even if it is the dead of winter.

BROADER
PICTURE
The result is more than the sum of
its parts, writes Siobhan Taylor.

THE JARRING IMAGES in a Madbutt collage are

designed to provoke a response in the viewer. So
when I saw the Brisbane artist’s work recently and
began to feel empowered, whimsical and curious
all at once, at least I knew it wasn’t just me.
Madbutt’s work often has an underlying theme
of female empowerment. She says she likes to
encourage “respect and love for one another and,
most of all, the earth”.
In one piece, warzone images are juxtaposed
with Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, challenging
the viewer’s stand on human rights issues.
“I like to use my social media and exhibitions as
a platform to highlight the turmoil that I believe can
be resolved,” she says.
Singer Lana Del Rey recently posted a Madbutt
collage on her Instagram page, instantly boosting
the artist’s international reputation.
Closer to home, her work will feature in the
exhibition Art of War – Against Domestic Violence
at The Loft, West End, on August 5. Proceeds will
go to the charity Friends with Dignity Australia.
“I would love for there to be a wider
understanding that collage is not just something
you do in kindergarten,” Madbutt says, “but a
style of art that is reusing and recycling materials
to sometimes highlight a larger idea and concept.”

READY, JET, GO!
SUMMER LOVING HAD ME A BLAST
Annabelle Beirne chats to the jet-setting Australian team behind JETS Swimwear
about the travel destinations that have influenced their designs.
LIFE SHOULD BE about chasing that endless summer.
Travel and immersing yourself in cultures that are foreign
to you is incredibly inspiring. The designs of fashion
collections across the globe are based on innovative trains
of thought. We asked the JETS design team which cities
have inspired them and how the style of their swimwear
range aligns with their favourite travel destinations.
What is your favourite summer travel destination?
BRENDA: Cuba. It is such a vibrant and inspiring
place. I love it for its uniqueness, creativity and spirit.
It’s a sensory delight of art, history and nightlife with
grand colonial facades, hip restaurants and salsa dancing
complemented with white, powdery beaches.
MARTINE: Any small town on the Italian coast. I love
the raw coastline, small coastal towns, the food, the
culture and the people.
YI: Zanzibar! The islands off East Africa are rich in culture,
with a vibrant art scene, delicious food and luxurious
resorts with the free-spirited slow pace of island life.
NATASHA: One of my favourite summer destinations
is the Amalfi Coast in Italy because of the picturesque
coastline around Amalfi and Positano, the surrounding
lemon groves and pergolas, the steep winding roads to

the hilltops of Ravello, the delicious food and coffee and
so much more.
JORDAN: Cannes on the French Riviera. The French Riviera
is known for its glamour and beauty and provides the perfect
mix of rich heritage and majestic coastline.
How has your destination influenced your designs?
BRENDA: Music has always made me feel inspired, so
this combined with the melting pot of Cuban clichés – the
colours of colonial grandeur, classic cars and cocktails –
never fails to inspire me.
MARTINE: Most influence comes from the timeless
classic feel of the Italian coast.
YI: Zanzibar’s unchanged picturesque little towns
offer timeless beauty and a relaxed undiscovered
holiday vibe.

WINTER e s c a p e s

LET IT SNOW
This is the winter holiday you’ve
longed for, writes Sarah Taviani.

Our winters may not include snow-covered

castles but an overseas holiday in the off-season
can become something magical if you know
where to look.

TALLINN, ESTONIA
By about mid-November, snow transforms Tallinn
into a serene medieval wonderland. Try to catch
the sunrise at least once. Every morning, the
Estonian national anthem plays as the flag is
raised over Tall Hermann.
BANFF NATIONAL PARK, CANADA
Anyone who even remotely likes winter has probably
visited (or is planning to visit) Banff at some point.
And almost every one of them has a photo with
Moraine Lake. The scenery is so beloved, it’s
immortalised on the Canadian $20 note.
PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC
Prague is always beautiful, but the breathtaking
architecture seems to call out for a layer of snow.
Ice-skating rinks beckon and the legendary
Christmas markets draw you in instantly.
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, USA
Yosemite is where I first saw snow. Sure, it was
days old and melting, but there was still a sense
of utter peace in the air. The Yosemite Falls may
not appear in all their usual glory, but it’s not
unusual to see them flowing.
ROTHENBURG OB DER TAUBER, GERMANY
Germany is renowned for its Christmas markets,
but one of the prettiest would have to be in
Rothenburg. This is mostly due to the well-
preserved medieval architecture, which is a
fancy way of saying it looks like you’re
wandering through every fairytale village
you’ve ever imagined.
