向海嵐穿着Dorian Ho晚裝,看上去但覺高挑又搶 眼,加上妝容恰到好處,即使是42歲也依然神采飛 揚。只是腰間的透明紗遮擋身段線段,略為美中不 足。

Couturissimo的設計,無論胸部和裙腳的不規則剪 裁均不俗,但壞在布料色澤太沉,雖然看似一幅油 畫,卻很是老氣,和薛凱琪不相襯。

徐濠縈所穿的Saint Laurent皮裙,是很難穿得好看 的款式。幸好她夠骨感,加上all back髮型,再配襯 Balenciaga粉紅色襪連靴,型格十足!

This evening gown by Dorian Ho lengthens Anna’s figure, and is definitely an attentiongrabber. Along with stylish makeup, her look belies her age of 42. One area that could stand improvement is the translucent chiffon veil at her midriff, which hides her curves.

Fiona is wearing a dress by Couturissimo, with eye-catching details created by asymmetric cuts at the bust and hemline. The material’s overly dark tones might make for a nice oil painting, but are too old-fashioned for Fiona’s aura.

Hilary’s leather dress by YSL is usually hard to pull off, but with her thin figure and an allback hairdo, she’s the exception. Paired with Balenciaga fuchsia boots, this outfit screams originality!

In these jeans, Angelababy’s legs are lengthened and produce the look of a supermodel. However, relaxed looks are more trendy these days, so such fitted flapper jeans and black closed-toe platforms seem a bit too conservative.

Candy makes a bold statement with her sweptback hair, a graphic Nina Ricci dress and Stuart Weitzman ankle boots.

COVER STORY

返回地球 要嘉欣形容充滿驚喜的2016,她說:「好像由太空忽然回到地 球,由夢幻返回現實,感覺自己真正長大了。」當年她選華姐獲得冠 軍,隨即加入TVB,從沒做過別的工作,所以自覺從沒真實生活過。 一段緣分將她拉回地球,不再離地,感動又踏實。她和所有女孩 子一樣,渴望找一個愛惜自己、願意承諾一生相依的男人,「很開心 我找到了,他是神安排給我的人。」 找到對的人,讓她放下香港一切,重回出生地溫哥華,適應當然 不成問題。「記得在婚禮上,哥哥、姐姐、爸爸、媽媽都說很感激老 公Jeremy將我帶回溫哥華,一家人不會再分開。」 過去十三年,她獨留香港為事業作戰,坦言當時缺乏安全感, 「當藝人必須不停追求好角色、好歌曲,但一切卻不在控制之內,讓 我思想好混亂。結婚之後,有伴侶做後盾,聽我傾訴,心會更定,人 也變得安靜。」形象指導也親證,上一次嘉欣拍封面照,是結婚前的 事,當時她蹦蹦跳的停不下來,當上人妻人母後,果然成熟穩重了。

Back to earth This is what she had to say about the year of surprises that was 2016. “It was like returning to Earth from outer space and emerging from fantasy to reality. I felt I’d finally grown up.” She joined TVB after taking the crown in the Miss Chinese International Pageant in 2004. She hadn’t had any other work experience, so she felt she had not really lived. A romance brought her down to Earth and let her experience a touching and real relationship. Like most girls, she yearned to find the one who would treasure her and be prepared to make the “till death do us part” commitment. “I’m so happy I found him. He was sent to me by God.” After finding Mr. Right, chiropractor Jeremy Leung (nephew of TVB chairman Norman Leung), she was ready to set aside everything in Hong Kong and return to her birthplace, Vancouver. There was no question about getting used to it again. “At the wedding, my mom and dad and my older brother and sister all said they were thankful that my husband Jeremy brought me back to Vancouver. The family doesn’t want to live apart again.” After spending 13 years in Hong Kong building her career, she admits there was no sense of security. “As an artist, we are always striving for good parts and good songs, but none of it is within our own control. This made me very confused. After getting married, I now have a partner to support me and listen to me. It is very reassuring. I feel very settled as a result.”

教我很多竅門,現在我可以自由活動了。」正是這份可以信賴的感 覺,令她覺得找到對的人。 嘉欣自認思想傳統,結婚生女後,照顧家庭是人生最重要的 事,全職主婦、兼職藝人的模式,正合她意,「現在溫哥華和香港 兩邊走,以前做藝人一樣要這樣飛來飛去,照顧女兒難以安睡, 和以前拍劇日程也差不多,有時回港四日,我只睡了十一個小時 呢!」 想她重出江湖再拍劇不難,但有條件,「我好想再拍,但需要 配合時間、地點,假如我們一家人回港度假一個月,又剛好有劇 組找我客串,或者劇組移師溫哥華外景,就無問題啦!」期待嘉欣 全面回歸?粉絲可能要失望了,她坦言:「我不能離家幾個月留港 拍劇,老公也不能放下病人不顧。」但她安撫大家:「我會努力籌備 Kelly mommy頻道,分享育兒心得,到時就可以在網上多見幾面 啦!」 猶幸TVB重頭劇《再創世紀》會到溫哥華取景一個月,正正符 合她事業家庭兩兼顧的要求,粉絲們終於可以快將看到她的演出 了。

COVER STORY

It is this sense of trust that convinced her she had found the right one. Chung admits that she is a traditional girl, and sees taking care of her family as the most important thing in her life. Being a full-time housewife and a part-time actress suits her just fine. “I’m shuttling between Vancouver and Hong Kong at the moment. It’s no different from having to travel all the time as an actress. The sleepless nights for taking care of my little girl is also similar to the schedule of filming. Sometimes I slept only 11 hours in four days when I returned to Hong Kong.” It’s wasn’t difficult to get her back on screen, but it came with conditions. “I really want to be on screen again, but it has to be the right time and the right place. If my family returns to Hong Kong for a month-long vacation and I’m asked to have a guest part in a drama, or if the crew is on location in Vancouver, then it will work out.” If you’re hoping for her full-time return, you’re in for a disappointment. “I can’t possibly leave home for months to be in Hong Kong for shooting. My husband can’t leave his patients unattended. I will work hard on planning the Kelly mommy channel to share parenting insights. We’ll see each other online.” Thankfully, the sequel to TVB’s epic drama series At the Threshold of An Era was shot on location in Vancouver for a month, which made it possible for her to take care of both family and work. Linda’s fans will get to see her on screen again soon enough.

These watches are loved mostly for their style and practicality.

The white and orange circle at 6 o’clock, which is a clear tribute to the predecessor, serves as a humidity indicator. When the white turns red, it’s time to take it in for servicing to check for its water-proof effectiveness. Limited to 500 pieces. Approx. $19,000

The countdown (for 10 minutes at the most) is activated through the pusher at 10 o’clock. When the countdown finishes, the second hand will go counter-clockwise for timing. When the timing is done, the second hand will resume its usual function. The accumulative hours and minutes from the timing will be shown at the 6 o’clock subdial.

ressence Type 5G

去年首度登場的Type 5G潛水腕錶,今年加添了靈感來自海龜的灰面成員,這錶的 特點是錶盤與錶鏡中間藏有不腦油,以減少光線的折射情況。不過,油不是沒有缺點 的,它的體積容易隨溫度而改變,腕錶特別加設了風箱系統,內裡的7顆小彈弓於油收縮 時,風箱便會增大以填補空間,相反亦然。錶盤上可看見相應的溫度計顯示,設定的上 下限是-5度及+55度,足夠應付日常生活。約$38,000 The Type 5G diving watch, which debuted last year, has added a turtle-inspired grey number this year. It stands out for having a space between the dial and the glass, filled with oil to cancel out internal reflection. To counter the drawback of oil’s changeable volume in different temperatures, a bellow system with seven tiny springs adapts to compensate for the change in oil volume. The temperature gauge on the dial shows a range from -5oC to +55oC, which should be quite enough for everyday use. Approx. $38,000

The aim was to combine the latest and most popular (the “new”) with accepted beauty standards (the “normal”). At that time, Armani said: “I am for a design concept that is direct and simple. This brand new collection is made especially for women, and embodies the design style of the individual. The modern woman is practical, feminine and optimistic. They want to be comfortable and natural at all times, while dressed impeccably.”

Suits are the brand’s forte, and its jackets are especially representative of the times. In 1975, Armani pioneered the the men’s deconstructed jacket, which did away with shoulder pads and linings. This style was subsequently applied to women’s suits.

Kitten heels時至今日依然是氣質代名詞。除了黑白配搭,也有大紅漆皮款式,女 人味更重。Manolo Blahnik的kitten heels是品牌標誌之一,連近年大紅潮牌Vetements 也與之聯乘造貓跟,就知其經典程度。品牌將kitten鞋跟結合mary jane搭帶,典雅亦 活潑。Loewe的是kitten boots,還要結合loafers、ankle boots等多種鞋款特點,這 種怪誕美是鬼才J.W Anderson才想得到。Prada、Miu Miu的鞋跟更像一口釘,加上 毛毛、釘珠、運動搭帶等細節,美得如裝飾品。Saint Laurent近年的鞋款以高聞名, 卻也有一雙剛過兩吋的低跟鞋,鞋邊綴以ruffles,更添女人味。Céline延續簡約美, 鞋跟是三角錐鏡面,配襯褲裝俐落有型。Sergio Rossi、Jimmy Choo、Anteprima將 kitten heels結合綁帶,讓人露出腳背至腳踝最美的部分,走路時卻依然舒適。 Bally的蝴蝶結低跟鞋簡單優雅,適合日常上班服配襯。還有Salvatore Ferragamo,其kitten heels根本已是品牌標誌,單單兩吋鞋跟 也有各種高度及款式,屬入門之選。 要穿出kitten heels當中的雅致 感,得靠個人氣質和品味,同來 踏出這優雅貓步吧!

Today, kitten heels are still synonymous with charm. In addition to black-and-white combinations, there is also a red patent leather version, which is even more feminine. Manolo Blahnik’s kitten heels are one of the brand’s symbols. Even the red-hot Vetements brand has co-created kitten heels with Manolo Blahnik, affirming its classic status. The brand matches kitten heels with the Mary Jane-style shoe, expressing whimsy while remaining classic. Loewe’s version are kitten boots, adding features from loafers, ankle boots and other styles. This unusual aesthetic can only be imagined by geniuses, such as J.W. Anderson. Prada and Miu Miu’s heels look like a nail, with added details such as fur, sequin and sports laces, resulting in a shoe pretty enough to be a piece of decorative art. Saint Laurent’s shoes in recent years have been known for their height, but it too has a pair of low heels just over two inches. On the side of the shoe are ruffles, adding to the femininity. Céline continues the minimalist beauty with a prism mirror as its heel, which goes smartly with pant suits. Sergio Rossi, Jimmy Choo, and Anteprima use kitten heels and tied straps to show off the more beautiful part of the leg, from the foot to the ankle, but the shoes are still comfortable for walking. Bally’s ribbon-tie low heels are simple and elegant, and suitable for daily careerwear. Finally, Salvatore Ferragamo’s kitten heels are already symbolic of the brand and are great choices for newcomers to the style. Dior heels with prints $1,150 (Holt Renfrew)

Belt在平常人心目中功能大於一切,不是很多人會捨得用近千元喜滋滋地買一條皮 帶,一來面積小不覺眼,二來並非經常用到,往往令腰飾淪為雞肋,成為最被忽略 的時尚單品之一。 Most men think of belts as nothing more than a practical clothing accessory. Not many are willing to spend hundreds of dollars for one. As a result, belts can be an afterthought when it’s time to go shopping for clothes.

選擇香水是沒有框架,既可以是投射出用者氣質,或是偶然飄過的一絲氣味。只有當你手握 這瓶香水,感覺才會變得實在。 傳統的奢華產品都喜歡用厚實的玻璃來表現尊貴感,Chanel偏偏反其道而行,GABRIELLE香 水的瓶身以超薄玻璃打造,並由四周向內匯集撐出弧度,使瓶身產生一種燦爛的光線折射。 Some of the delights of choosing a fragrance are intangible. They could be an aspiration to a persona, or a whiff in the air. But when one cradles the bottle in her palms, she has finally made a physical connection. The bottle of GABRIELLE challenges the conventional concept of luxury, where the weight of the glass represents the heft of its prestige. The House of Chanel goes the opposite way, developing a bottle with ultra-thin glass walls that converge towards the centre of the bottle, intensifying the brightness of the perfume within.

The designer uses a traditional kitchen model, including standard cabinet frames, the mosaic on the door frame, the arch on the fascia board, etc. Even the window trims all match the kitchen cabinets. At the same time, to modify the overly traditional look, the designer makes the lines of the arched fascia board simpler and chooses a resin panel with a liner over a clear or textured glass. The designer does utilize a traditional glass backsplash: its purpose to make cleaning easier. But these days, the trend is to use interesting tiles to add to the decorative effect and help change the overall dynamics of the kitchen. The centre island is the soul of a large kitchen. In addition to being versatile, and being able to increase the usability of the space, it also helps create a beautiful visual effect. Doubling as a bar and a dining table, the island provides additional seating appropriate for breakfast, snacks or drinking, and creates the atmosphere of an izakaya right at home.

How does one start? “What’s best is to follow the Equinox protocol — a balanced approach to fitness,” Jacobs says. “We believe in one-on-one coaching to achieve efficient and effective results. Because no two bodies are the same, the more advanced your training program, the more customized it becomes. “Your first step is the X assessment, which includes an in-depth medical and fitness questionnaire, body composition index, movement screen, postural analysis and metabolic rate measurement. Your personal coach will evaluate your history and objectives to create your personal roadmap. Since needs, goals and lives change, the conversation between you and your coach will play a vital role in your success.” Jacobs grew up in Ottawa and moved to Boston, then New York. She was a fitness instructor herself and started off as an Equinox member. She later applied to become the assistant general manager of their Mamaroneck Club and was then promoted to general manager of their Scarsdale Club in New York. She then moved to Vancouver to help launch the Equinox Club here. “I love the West Coast and Vancouver is a beautiful city. People are into fitness here. It feels right at home, meeting so many like-minded people.” Everyone can be fit and healthy. You can do it with style at Equinox.

A key player behind the birth of Botanist is executive chef Hector Laguna, who was born in Hidalgo, Mexico and grew up in Veracruz, Mexico. This region is famous for the mole plant, tamales and freshwater fish. “My father owns a farm in Mexico where they grow most of what they eat,” says Laguna. “This includes corn, beans, chilies, tomatoes, coffee and different kinds of fruits. They also raise their own cows, chickens, turkeys, and pigs. “As a result, I grew up eating very fresh produce, meat and poultry, right from the land they cultivated. This has inspired me to cook with fresh, seasonal ingredients, which is reflected in the always-

changing Botanist menu.” Laguna began his professional cooking career after moving to San Francisco in 2000. After a stop in Miami, he wound up in Toronto in 2011, working at Lee Restaurant under Sur Sur Lee. Before taking the reins as Botanist’s executive chef, he served as senior sous chef at Vancouver’s Hawksworth restaurant. His menu depicts the culinary abundance and botany of the Pacific Northwest region, utilizing the organic agricultural methods from local suppliers and sustainably sourced seafood.

What’s good food without a perfectly paired wine? Botanist wine director Jill Spoor says the restaurant’s wine list “is a collection of mostly family owned and operated wineries, which share a high level of commitment to the environment and quality of wine. Furthermore, the boutique list showcases wineries which practise sustainable, organic wind and biodynamic farming and winemaking.” The Botanist bar also features a list of sophisticated, yet whimsical, cocktails. Several are chemist-like designs from the restaurant’s unique cocktail lab. This is the bartender’s artistic studio, custom-created with industrial kitchen equipment to integrate a culinary-forward approach to their cocktails. It inspires creative freedom and precision, granting the attention required to forge an elevated drinking experience. To sum it all up, dining at Botanist can certainly put a pleasant smile on your face, a happiness that can be repeated and repeated with every visit.

These features create an environment that is especially suited to the growth of seafood, and also suited to the building of water parks. Marina Park, which is on the seashore, has four areas that accommodate 500 yachts. On the south is Goose Spit Regional Park and its wonderful sandbars. This was a British Royal Navy shelter in the mid-19th century. Today it is a favourite venue for windsurfing, swimming, rowing and sandcastle building. The stretch between Comox and Campbell River is a plentiful source of seafood, particularly salmon and prawns. Thus, commercial fishing boats tend to use the pier at Comox as their base.

As a cooking enthusiast, it was like a pilgrimage, for they are the Rombauer of Irma S. Rombauer, who wrote the quintessential Joy of Cooking. The self-published author is the great aunt of Koerner Rombauer, founder of the winery now synonymous with intensely fruity and crisp chardonnays. If you are into food and wine pairings, you will find recipes from the cookbook 由烹飪至品酒,Rombauer酒莊深諳美 酒佳餚之道。 From the joy of cooking to the joy of wine with the Rombauer family.
