your guide to an amazing autumn

2 BE CONTINUED...

You leave the still-sleeping city behind to greet the sun as it rises on the road ahead. You wind your way along an empty coastal road and reach a hand into the cloudless summer sky that stretches out overhead – this is it, you think, this is what you’ve missed. That familiar feeling in a forgotten country town, a meal overlooking an endless ocean, a spirited dash through a secluded mountain road. Perhaps it’s time to tell your own story – one written by winding roads and bound by endless skies. Arrange a test-drive at Bruce Lynton and continue your story.

label magazine autumn 2015

She is the definitive poster girl for busy, working mothers everywhere – beautiful, talented, a mother of four and she now has her own line of lingerie.

S

et your teeth to grind because what woman isn’t jealous of a 41 year old mother of four who is still so jawdroppingly gorgeous that she is the face AND body of her own line of lingerie. It gets better (or worse) because the same woman also paints, sings, has numerous fashion labels, tirelessly supports charities and is the epitome of a working mother. Meet Heidi Klum, a real life wonder woman, supermodel and Emmy-winning TV Host who has just been announced as the Creative Director and face of Bendon’s globally renowned Intimates collection. Enter Heidi Klum Intimates, a collection that is the frilly, feminine manifestation of the partnership between Heidi and Bendon, a world leader in intimate apparel.

“I've always loved lingerie and can't describe how incredibly exciting it is to globally launch my Intimates collection with Bendon, a true leader of the industry. In addition to spending a majority of my career modelling lingerie, I am also a woman whose body has changed over the years. I am a mother of four children so I genuinely understand the importance of finding the right lingerie. I want women everywhere to feel sexy, empowered and confident in my collection every time they wear it.”

The inaugural campaign, shot in Los Angeles by famed photographer and longtime collaborator Rankin, is a significant one in the model’s career as it marks her return to lingerie after a 5 year hiatus. In it she models the Heidi Klum Intimates collection as well as Heidi by Heidi Klum, a more accessible everyday brand and also features Heidi alongside a male model for her menswear label, HKMAN. The collection was released worldwide in January this year in over 1800 retail collections.

“It was so exciting to shoot the first ever Heidi Klum Intimates campaign with Rankin,” said Klum. “I’ve always loved modelling lingerie and it was fun to get back in front of the camera wearing beautiful pieces. I was so excited for the collection to arrive in stores in January.”

For the woman who seemingly has it all these days her early modelling life was anything but easy. In 1992 at age 18 she won a modelling contest from 25,000 entrants landing a contract with an agency. In that time moody, ultra-thin girl/women,

waifs like Kate Moss were all the rage and she endured rejection for being the wrong ‘type’. As she explained, “I wasn't tall enough; my face wasn't weird enough for what they wanted; I was too happy for everybody. At 19 years old, I was working and responsible for my own bills, laundry, and what I would eat for dinner when my friends still had their mothers taking care of those things.” Living in terrible apartments, away from home and with little English it is an experience that would have sent a less resilient type running back home defeated but she persevered, drawing on the lessons learned from her parents Erna and Günther Klum. “Sometimes it's good to walk the extra mile because maybe that has something to do with why things happen.” Her persistence finally paid off, and high profile, top paying work for magazine covers such as Vogue, Elle and Marie Claire began to flow. Then followed multiple appearances and global fame on the cover of Sports Illustrated and then the honour of becoming the first German model to star as a Victoria's Secret “Angel”.

Inside she knew that while modelling was fine, everyone has a use by date and she set about transforming her fame and high profile into something tangible for her post modelling career.

“My parents laid rules out for me, and I followed them.” Her mother gave her one rule she has never forgotten: Don't rely on anybody! Klum says. “I saw that you have to work to get what you want.” It is a rule she took to heart as she slowly began to transition herself into a successful businesswoman.

In December 2004, Klum became the host, judge and executive producer of the reality show Project Runway. Her role earned her an Emmy nomination in 2008 and a win in 2013 which she shared with co-host Tim Gunn. Her list of credits in this time is exhausting to read. She worked as spokesperson for Dannon and H & M and was featured in commercials for McDonalds, Volkswagen and took on the challenging role of being the official ambassador for Barbie’s 50th anniversary.

Then she had supporting roles in movies and television. Blow Dry, Ella Enchanted, The Devil Wears Prada, Perfect Stranger, Sex and the City, Parks and Recreation and How I Met Your Mother all starred the stunning blonde. She is also a judge on u America’s Got Talent. labelmagazine.com.au

“Family comes first. You're the only thing they have.”

So how does she handle the ongoing pressure of so much work while being a mother to four children and having to compartmentalise almost every second of the day? Firstly she doesn’t do sick days preferring to just grit her teeth and get through on sheer determination. Secondly she marks her days using colour coding to denote if a certain time is for work, family or a day of rest. Doing nothing must be difficult for Heidi but she has insisted that she is happy to just hang out with her children and do whatever they feel like doing.

In an interview she declared that she was most proud of the job she has done of raising considerate kids, ones who say “please” and “thank you” without prodding. “I'm very happy when I see them just doing it by themselves, because it takes a few years,” she says. “For the longest time, you just sound like a broken record, but you have to be consistent when teaching kids.” Consistency is also her personal success secret.

“Keeping it all together as a modern woman means multi-tasking, especially when you work," she says. “I think you always need to try your best, but at the same time you can only do what you can do, and you don't need to beat yourself up about it. I'm not white-picket-fence perfect.” Her priorities in life couldn't be clearer. “Family comes first,” Klum insists. “You're the only thing they have.”

Of course no story about Heidi would be complete with mentioning her ex, British singer Seal. They met by chance in the lobby of a New York hotel, she recognised him at once and they began chatting. Her quote of that meeting was, “I felt something ‘magnetic’ and I was drawn toward him and just wanted to know more.” In December of that year he proposed to Klum in the Canadian Rockies. They married in Mexico in 2005 and famously used to renew their vows in a themed ceremony every year. They also decided to have a large family very quickly with three children in quick succession.

“Every time I left the hospital with a big smile on my face and a baby in my arms, I said to the nurse that I would be back.” Sadly the publicly idyllic love match didn’t pan out and in 2012 they announced a split but remain deeply committed to their family and are regularly photographed together cheering from the sidelines at the children’s soccer games.

Looking forward Heidi now has set her sights on her children and her career. A worldwide publicity tour to promote Heidi Klum Intimates and then back to her home in America to continue doing what she does best – focus on the job at hand and give it everything that she has. She is a living example of the harder you work, the luckier you get and her great beauty is matched by an equally great focus and determination. In short she has worked hard for everything that has come her way.

Nicole Daley Things that glitter and shine have held a lifelong fascination for this daughter of a diamond selling family.

B

orn into the business is a much overused expression but for Nicole Daley it is an exact description of how she came to be in jewellery. The daughter of Bill and Pamela Hannaford, who founded 5th Avenue Jewellery, she has vivid memories of her early years working in the business. “Mum and Dad had the shop, along with many other interests, and at the age of five I was answering the phone in the Adelaide store. In fact I made my first sale when I was just past seven years of age and from that early age I was fascinated by gem stones.”

When Nicole was eight, Bill and Pamela decided to retire and moved to the Gold Coast but always an entrepreneur Bill saw too many opportunities and very quickly moved into a store in Surfers Paradise. “I attended St. Hildas but I was always involved in the business. It was perfect training because I got to see all sides of the operation and in my parents I had the best teachers possible. I was always been very lucky to travel to Europe and England and have always attended international jewellery fairs seeking rare gems and enabling me to keep on top of world trends in terms of design.”

After leaving school, Nicole went straight from school in 1994 to the family’s new store in Pacific Fair. She embarked on a rigorous round of study and became a highly qualified gemmologist. “It is difficult because you constantly have to update your skills and knowledge. The major thing is learning about the synthetic stones and how to recognise them. I always worry when people tell me that they have purchased something on-line but you need the kind of specialised testing equipment we have here to ascertain if it is real or not. What they think is a great diamond turns out to be fracture filled or synthetic.”

Her parents taught the value of treating customers with respect.

“It was the first thing – ascertain what they want, how they would be wearing it and what sort of budget. For example emeralds are beautiful but too brittle and really unsuitable for every day use as an engagement ring.” It was also through jewellery that Nicole met her

14

label magazine autumn 2015

husband Darren Daley around 12 years ago. “We used to see each other at conventions around Australia and gradually a friendship ensued. He is also a gemmologist and makes all of our custom pieces in his workshop. It is very handy having someone who is so gifted especially with my own range of designs, Ti Amo. With the 3D CAD (Computer Aided Design) system he uses, my designs and anyone else who wants a custom made piece can see what they will be getting. He can take the dimensions of any stone and very quickly produce a 3D image.”

The name Ti Amo was chosen by Nicole because it has such special significance. “My father is very romantic and was always leaving gifts and a card that read ‘Ti Amo’ which means ‘I love you’ in Italian. Every piece is a one-off, designed and manufactured in house so it can never be repeated. I often wake up in the middle of the night with an idea which is why I always have some paper nearby.”

To have a designer and someone capable of making any piece in house is a very rare combination for a jewellery store. Most are essentially retailers but it is that bespoke element that enthrals and captivates Nicole and Darren. “People don’t realise the intense amount of concentration and work Darren puts in to make something.

Sometimes I would talk to him at the wrong moment and spoil his train of thought but I know now when he is thinking.”

After 19 years at Pacific Fair, Bill and Pamela retired, Nicole and Darren took over the business and moved the shop to Capri on Via Roma. “It is an easy place for our customers and has undercover parking. We are able to give one on one attention to our clients and pride ourselves on always having one of us in the store. The store is open seven days a week and is a one stop jewellery shop offering everything from design and remodelling to valuations and even watch batteries.” For someone born surrounded by diamonds, precious stones and expensive metals, it is the perfect marriage of personal service with exquisite jewellery.

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Cinderella The story follows the fortunes of young Ella whose merchant father remarries following the death of her mother. Eager to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her stepmother and her daughters in the home. But, when Ella’s father unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of the trio. Relegated to being a servant girl covered in ashes she is spitefully renamed Cinderella. Despite the cruelty, Ella is determined to honor her mother’s dying words to “have courage and be kind.” Then she meets a dashing stranger in the woods who is unbeknown to her a prince. An open invitation for all maidens to attend a ball arrives from the palace but her stepmother forbids her to attend and callously rips apart her dress. A kindly beggar woman steps forward and – armed with a pumpkin and a few mice – changes Cinderella’s life forever. Stars: Lily James, Hayley Atwell, Helena Bonham Carter, Cate Blanchett.

The expansionist dream of Sonny is making more claims on his time than he has available, considering his imminent marriage to the love of his life, Sunaina. He has his eye on a promising property now that his first venture, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for the Elderly and Beautiful, has only a single remaining vacancy – posing a rooming predicament for fresh arrivals. Evelyn and Douglas have now joined the Jaipur workforce and are wondering where their regular dates will lead, while Norman and Carol are negotiating the tricky waters of an exclusive relationship, as Madge juggles two eligible and very wealthy suitors. Perhaps the only one who may know the answers is newly installed co-manager of the hotel, Muriel the keeper of everyone’s secrets. As the demands of a traditional Indian wedding threaten to engulf them all, an unexpected way forward presents itself. Stars: Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Dev Patel.

Tomorrowland Bound by a shared destiny, a former boy-genius (George Clooney) who is jaded by disillusionment, teams up with a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity. Together they embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space known only as “Tomorrowland.”

What they must do there changes the world—and them—forever.

This imaginative and unforgettable movie takes audiences on a thrill ride of nonstop adventures through new dimensions that have only been dreamed of in a place somewhere in time and space that exists in their collective memory. Stars: George Clooney, Britt Robertson, Hugh Laurie.

fashion Jacket: Joie is one of my favourite US labels of all time and I adore this jewel toned leather jacket.

It is buttery soft and extremely comfortable to wear. Throwing on a jacket can really sharpen your outfit and this is my current go to piece.

Boots & Bag: These are my favourite investment pieces. I bought the Isabel Marant boots on sale from Net- a-Porter, they add a real edge to any outfit.

The Chanel Boy bag I picked up on a business trip to New York. It’s a collector’s piece that I will keep and pass on to my daughter when she is old enough to appreciate and look after it.

Fiona wears an Equipment silk python tank, Ulla Johnson Jacket, Frame Denim jeans and Paul Andrew ostrich feathered satin sandals, all from the US. Scarves: Every season I pick up a couple of American Vintage cotton/silk blend scarves to add to my wardrobe.

They add a touch of colour to my mostly monochromatic style and are perfect for our winter climate as they are not too heavy and can be worn with a light jacket or knit.

Jeans: These babies are my favourite pair of baby blue distressed jeans. Denim is a staple in my wardrobe and is incorporated into my outfits at least three or four times a week. ‘Frame’ is a brand we import from the US - they are a great premium brand and a fabulous fit.

My Style

If anyone knows fashion and personal style it is Fiona Edwards-Bassingthwaighte. Her slightly tongue in cheek self- description is “fashion retailer, importer and blogger” for Edwards Imports, fifideluxe and Janine Edwards boutique.

Sunglasses: I just adore my Celine Shadow sunglasses in two tone dark blue and Havana brown. They are super-sized, rock star material and add a real edge to any outfit.

Ambassadors Jessica Gomes, Montana Cox and Jason Dundas rocked the catwalk against a street style backdrop, going with the theme of marching to your own beat.

In total 212 looks from 35 collections adorned the runway, from Akira to Zimmermann, glazed with MAC Cosmetics and coiffured by Aveda.

Bianca Spender and Michael Lo Sordo kicked off the event with some serious crimson colour, proving that radiant fabrics work with every cut. Camilla and Willow went with whimsy and decadent prints, while Dion Lee and Ginger & Smart graced Gomes with acidic brights and brilliant gem tones.

Bec & Bridge brought us sensuality in peach, with a dash of pure white cream pouring in from Jac + Jack’s blown out basics and Josh Goot’s dreamy designs. The Upside proved that there is no room for slack style in our downtime, featuring their hot range of activewear.

If we did not understand the overwhelming seventies swing, Romance Was Born worked the flair like no other. The evening finished with a tribute to Carla Zampatti’s 50th year in business, gifting her the coveted closing position.

Eight is Enough Here are eight Australian Designers Label thinks you should be following.

Todorov

Victoria Todorov is certainly unique. She isn’t a great fan of online promotion – no Instagram, she only recently got an email address and her web site is as minimal as it gets. However she has a flair for the dramatic with her clothes a reminder that the number of followers you have is not necessarily a sign of your talent.

Alice McCall Alice McCall is an eclectic brand with a playful sensibility, using unique detailing and charming folk-like craftsmanship to create charismatic, modern keepsake collections. The label was born following Alice’s vast and global career as a stylist with the likes of Beyoncé, Deborah Harry and Marianne Faithful.

M ink Pink Designer Rachel Evans wanted to fill what she saw as a gaping hole in the Australian fashion market for well-designed, gorgeous but affordable clothing. She designs original and inspirational pieces filled with colour and life that her customers love to wear.

Yousef Akbar Originally from Saudi Arabia, Yousef came to Australia to study Logistics but decided fashion was his calling and embarked on a Diploma of Fashion at The Fashion Design Studio in Sydney. That decision has certainly paid with Yousef winning a string of industry awards since his graduation in 2013.

Shakuhachi Self-taught fashion designer, Jessie White, launched her womenswear label with a small collection of handmade t-shirts made on a budget of just $400. Since then she has concentrated on slowly building her brand to the point where Shakuhachi has reached cult status within the fashion industry and has now become known in the true corners of the fashion world.

Pageant Founded by Amanda Cumming and Kate Reynolds, Pageant is an independent Australian men’s and womenswear label. Quirky, colourful and decidedly different they are a breath of fresh designing air with an outlook that blurs the lines between fashion and art.

MORE HANDLES. SAME HANDLING.

Alison Hope Murray Alison describes fashion as her job, hobby and life. Her designs are wildly colourful, original and like nothing you’ve ever seen before. Large silhouettes are combined with complex patterns, strong colours merged with autumn tones – she is an innovator of the highest order and someone to follow in the years to come.

Scott & Scarce Scott Faulder and Victoria Scarce are the names behind the brand of this rapidly rising fashion label.

As co-designers they produce wonderfully exotic and vibrant pieces that are noteworthy for sharply striking silhouettes. They are also producing a men’s range.

The all new MINI 5-door Hatch lets you get more in and more out of it without sacrificing that go-kart handling MINI is famous for.

With all new safety features, new engines, an illuminated LED centre instrument, head up display, parking assist and extra space in the back and the boot, it’s the most fun you can have in a 5 door on four wheels. All that’s left now is for you to book a test-drive. See how it handles at Bruce Lynton MINI Garage today.

It’s time to take your U

vitamins

nless your downing countless green juices a day, it is hard to reach your body’s desired vitamin quota, made more challenging by our inability to store vitamins for later use.

Over-cooking and processing your foods, along with stress and alcohol, make nutrition-absorption a challenge. Sadly, the skin is the first organ to display deficiency, so test out these hot topical solutions.

Vitamin A: The Healer

Followers of the vitamin A theory are of the glowy kind, due to its corrective properties. The dermis – which houses your blood vessels, collagen and elastin production – is strengthened and sent to work to eliminate wrinkles and boost your blood flow to the epidermis.

See your skin relieved of rosacea with vampire-like healing, better resistance to UV light and watch pigmentation take a step back.

Vitamin A users also experience minimised sebum production without sacrificing the radiance, thanks to its exfoliating properties.

However, the correct application of vitamin A is the difference between radiance and radioactive. Take it slow in this new product relationship, using a few nights a week, building up your resistance to nightly application.

Dermaviduals Vitamin A Nanoparticles This potent potion can be applied sparingly to your skin, or mixed in with your night cream. $85, dermaviduals.com.au

Vitamin B: The Defence

Look in the mirror, ladies. If you see any signs of dryness, acne, dermatitis, pigmentation or redness, you are in need of the best of the vitamin B group, B3. Your skin forms an important barrier to protect itself from aging with the help of two enzymes, NADH and NADPH. These enzymes get your cellular energy and lipid production cranking.

As we age, our enzyme supplies deplete, and that is where B3 comes to the rescue, putting your walls up and protecting your precious skin cells from pollution, UV rays and other irritants. Your skin will also start producing its own emollients for superior hydration without excessive oil, putting you in control of your inflammation.

Synergie Practitioner Priority-B A super active serum, Priority-B contains 15 per cent Vitamin B3 and the wonderful willowherb to sterilise and calm your complexion. Apply in the evenings for best results. $119, synergieskin.com 38

label magazine autumn 2015

Vitamin C: The Toner

Fend off aging factors like pollution, oxygen and UV damage with a protective layer of vitamin C in your skincare regime. Your collagen production will kick into overdrive for firm skin, while your pimple scars and sunspots will fade and inflammation will ease. L-acsorbic acid is the most common C-form in skincare, giving you youthful elasticity and the power to apply extra-potent powders on troublesome pigmentation.

Paula’s Choice Resist Vitamin C Spot Treatment Free of fragrance and colour, Paula’s Choice sits at 25 per cent stabilised vitamin C to fight off stubborn wrinkles and spots. $70, paulaschoice.com.au

Vitamin E: The Soother

The most renowned in the vitamin hall of fame is like the buxom, middle-aged school nurse, who will happily hand out a hug alongside comforting words for your grazed knee. Adding vitamin E to your skincare kit will make your sunscreen work harder by supercharging its active ingredients, while fighting off early UV ray damage. See your skin de-stress and pause the peroxidation of fats to keep your cell membrane in top condition. With your newly strengthened skin, water loss will diminish and the essential oils on the outer layer of your skin will stay balanced when you cleanse. It even works on sunburn!

Jo Malone Vitamin E Nourishing Hand Treatment Step up your immunity and deploy your barrier defense system for long-lasting hand hydration. $90, jomalone.com.au

Take a Multi-Vitamin

Dermalogica Age Smart Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque Reach for this vitamin blast in the same way you would for a Berocca after a big night. If your skin has suffered a long week of events, makeup and sun exposure, apply a thick layer to your face and décolletage and soak it in for 10 minutes. Your anti-oxidant posse is here to throw your complexion a coming-out party. Vitamins A, B5, C, E and F, along with panthenol will restore your skin condition, with a hint of beta glucan to soothe. Algae extract will take you to hydrating heaven, while burdock, liquorice and comfrey will reduce sensitivity. $68, dermalogica.com.au

fragrance With its unexpected fusion of an aquatic accord between Peony, Freesia and the Musks, Flower by Kenzo – L’eau Origenelle is a burst of transparent freshness symbolised by the pure and majestic beauty of a white poppy.

Bvlgari Aqva Divina is a concentration of unequalled beauty and radiance.

Bergamot blows an aquatic breeze with pink ginger followed by the heart notes of magnolia petals expressing a feminine beauty of softness and elegance.

Scents

The signature of Issey Miyake’s new spring fragrance City Blossom is life in bloom. From the opening notes of pink peppercorn with a sprinkling of citrus notes to the hint of calone, this is a subtle mingling of charm and boldness.

Sparkling and vivacious, Jimmy Choo Blossom is a burst of excitement before the party starts.

This bold new bouquet opens with a blend of red berries softened by a subtle squeeze of citrus with rose and sweet pea to follow.

A sensual scent with a masculine smoky and leathery accord, Burberry Brit Rhythm – Eau de Toilette Intense has spicy top notes of artemisia, cumin seed and pepper oil fused with a powerful heart of amber and patchouli.

A modern interpretation of this classic floral scent, Paris Rebel Collector by YSL brings unexpected liveliness in a duet of tomato leaf and rose. The vibrancy continues with citruses, pink pepper, woody tones, musk and amber.

The exquisite 2014 Pachamama Pinot Gris from the Upper Goulburn region is blessed with a generous palate and flavours of crème brulee, lemon zest and musk.

Behind the brand

In today’s health-crazy world, if you have never tried Pana Chocolate then you probably caught onto the paleo trend early and have retreated to cave-dwelling life. Pana Chocolate is already sweetening up 20 countries around the world and is aiming to become the number one raw chocolate on earth. The creator Pana Barbounis spills the cacao beans to Label’s Ava Anastasia about the benefits of raw foods and the opening of his new Sydney store.

Chocolate is an undeniably important part of my daily ritual. What inspired you to create your own brand? The reality is that I’ve been self-employed for most of my life and I just like working with ideas to see where they can go. I started dabbling in raw chocolate and I started thinking about how I could apply some commerciality to it. From there I focused on perfecting a recipe that retained all the goodness and values I hold as well as testing the market.

I have tried many times to make healthy chocolate at home and, so far, only one attempt has been edible. How many attempts did it take to perfect the Pana recipe? I spent six months working full time to perfect the recipe and worked many late nights with various groups to test the products. Pana Chocolate is so much more than a recipe. It’s the right ingredients and the right structures that perfect the flavour. A cacao butter from Ecuador is very different to one from Bolivia, so I tried and tested many ingredients until it was right.

How did the importance of raw foods reveal itself to you during your 20 years in hospitality? It was a natural evolvement for me.

I started my life eating great food and growing produce at home, then surrounded by food in the hospitality industry. My love and appreciation just naturally evolved to organic, raw and vegan foods.

I am currently eating chocolate (I know, totally addicted). What are the health benefits of switching from my regular hit to my Pana favourite, Coconut and Goji? So many! Pana Chocolate is made from raw, organic ingredients, is processed using minimal heat which means it’s high in antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins and minerals and it contains no animal products or added sugars. Just natural sweeteners like agave nectar and coconut nectar. Your body will thank you for it too.

Your packaging is 100% Australian-made and recyclable. Why is being eco-friendly so important to Pana Chocolate? The benefits of Pana Chocolate go beyond your body. It’s very important to us that we share our love for the earth and do everything we can to be as sustainable as we can. We ensure that ingredients adhere to fair 46

label magazine autumn 2015

trade practices, producers use sustainable, organic growing methods and our materials are as environmentally friendly as possible. It’s also really important for us to give back to the earth and last year we planted 10,000 trees in regional Victoria.

Label loves every Pana, from Rose to Mint. What is your personal preference? That always feels like having to choose one of my kids.

The Sour Cherry and Vanilla is an absolute cracker, and the Mint is perfect in the afternoon or at night, and then there’s the original, the Raw Cacao. It’s so hard! And then when you think of the Pana Chocolate shop it’s even harder. Our range constantly evolves and I’m always being impressed by our chefs, however the vespa wheel (Pana Chocolate’s take on the wagon wheel - buckwheat wafer biscuit with a soft coconut centre in a raspberry chia jam and dipped in cacao) is an absolute must-try.

What can we expect to see mixed into Pana Chocolate this year?

Late in 2014 we introduced the first of our new gift pack range.

We’re really excited to now launch our full range of 11 gift packs from Happy Valentine’s Day and I Love You Mum to Just Because.

We’re also testing new flavours for our bars range and our chefs have developed a sensational new range of handmade chocolates and cakes for the Pana Chocolate shops. The best way for people to see all that’s happening is to follow us on social media.

Pana Chocolate is moving one-stop closer to the Gold Coast, with your Alexandria location open as of March. What raw cakes and pops can we expect to taste in-store? Like our Melbourne shop, customers can expect a range of speciality cakes, handmade chocolates, the full range of bars and gift packs, cookies, ingredients and seasonal drinks. Popular staples like the Pana Pop, vespa wheels and coconut barrel will be available as will the ever-changing cake flavours and a whole new range of handmade chocolate delicacies.

Think caramel centred, cherry coconut, ginger and much more.

Customers can also order cakes and catering packs for functions and special occasions.

ANATOLIA

Anatolia is so much more than recipes. Though the flavours of Chef Somer Sivrioglu are destined to spice up your kitchen, the stories add greater depth to cooking than any ingredient ever could. Sivrioglu and journalist David Dale toiled on this masterpiece for over two years, with photographer Bree Hutchins working in studio and on location. Anatolia is an enthralling cultural encyclopaedia, but only a glimpse into the complexity of the four regions that have evolved into modern-day Turkey.

RECIPES

Kadayıf Dolma: Apricot and Walnut Dolmas This traditional dish is from Erzurum, in eastern Anatolia, where they stuff it with walnuts. I’ve reduced the amount of syrup and boosted the stuffing with apricots. It uses the crunchy ‘string’ pastry called Kadayıf, which means there are interesting texture contrasts between the inside and the outside.

Sugar Syrup 500g sugar ¼ lemon Filling 250g chopped walnuts 50g dried apricot, finely chopped Pastry 50g butter 300ml milk 2 egg yolks 500g chilled fresh kadayıf pastry 1 litre (4 cups) vegetable oil Decoration 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts To make the syrup, put the sugar and 750ml (3 cups) of water in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, squeeze the quarter lemon into the water, and throw in the lemon skin. Simmer for 15 minutes and then remove the lemon skin and discard. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

(Do not refrigerate.)

Put the chopped walnuts and apricots in a bowl and mix together.

Gently melt the butter in a frying pan over low heat (or microwave for 30 seconds). Transfer to a deep mixing bowl, add the milk and egg yolks and whisk to combine.

Loosen the pastry using your fingers and then roughly chop the strands. Using clean hands, take a handful of pastry and press together between your palms to make a round. Still holding the round in your palm, place 2 teaspoons of the walnut and apricot mixture in the middle and use your other hand to fold over the sides of the pastry and roll up the ends, and then squeeze into a tight tube.

Dip your fist into the milk mixture, letting the pastry absorb some of the liquid through your fingers, pushing the pastry back inside your fist as it slightly expands. Shake off the excess liquid and then set aside on a paper towel. Repeat with the remaining pastry to make about twenty rounds.

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over high heat. Add a drop of water to the oil. If it sizzles the oil is ready. Carefully add the dolmas, 10 at a time, and then fry for 3 minutes until golden and crunchy. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer into the bowl with the syrup. Leave to soak for 2 minutes, then remove and serve, decorated with the chopped walnuts. Makes 20.

Kaygana: Cretan Eggs with Wild Weeds There’s a joke about a salad farmer who is having a tea in the village café.

A neighbour comes in and says: ‘There’s a goat in your field.’ The farmer says: ‘Don’t worry, he won’t eat much’. Shortly afterward, the neighbour returns and says: ‘There’s a cow in your field.’ The farmer keeps sipping his tea and says: ‘Don’t worry about it.’ Then the neighbour returns and says: ‘There’s a man from Crete in your field.’ The farmer leaps up and rushes back to save his field before everything green has been stripped.

People of Cretan background are famous for eating the dark-green weeds that grow wild along the Aegean coast and that were ignored for centuries

by Turkish cooks. This egg dish uses the kind of wild (and tame) greens the Cretans have taught the Turks to love.

1 cup of any or all of these, mixed: nettles, chicory, curly endives, dandelion greens, round radicchio, beetroot (beet) leaves, wild rocket (but not witlof) 3 spring onions (scallions) 1 onion 80ml (1/3 cup) olive oil 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon hot paprika 4 eggs pide bread, to serve If you are using nettles, use gloves to handle them. To remove the sting, put in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water for 30 seconds. Transfer to cold water for 30 seconds. Pick the green leaves and discard the stems.

Clean and finely chop the endives and the chicory, discarding the woody stems. Wash the spring onions, then remove the roots and green outer layer. Finely chop the onion.

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, then add the onion and brown for 5 minutes. Add the spring onions and cook for another 3 minutes, then add the wild leaves in this order (from toughest to softest): endives, chicory, radicchio, nettle, dandelion, beetroot leaves, wild rocket. Lightly fry for about 5 minutes to let any excess water evaporate. Add the spices and stir. Make four wells in the mixture and break an egg into each well. Continue to cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

Serve the kaygana in the pan for people to help themselves. If the yolks spread into the mixture, so much the better. Serve with pide.

Serves 4. labelmagazine.com.au

RECIPES

Lahmacun: Thin-Crust Pide with Spicy Lamb Topping When I say thin-crust pizza is Italy’s answer to lahmacun (pronounced ‘lah-mahjun‘), I’m not trying to start a fight. The idea of putting spiced mince on a disc of dough would have occurred to human beings long before there were nations called Italy or Turkey—or for that matter Armenia, Greece or Syria—all of whom have claimed to be the originators of this addictive pastry. What we do know is that nowadays lahmacun is a speciality of the town of Şanlıurfa, in southeastern Turkey, where they pride themselves on the crispness of their bases. Lahmacun should not be confused with the heavier kıymalı pide, well known in and out of Turkey for the thickness of its dough and the coarseness of its meat topping. For lahmacun you need a light touch.

Base 200g plain (all-purpose) flour, plus extra for dusting 1 teaspoon salt 70g (½ cup) wholemeal flour (if using a baking tray) Topping 2 tomatoes 1 red capsicum (pepper) 75g capsicum (pepper) paste 5 garlic cloves ½ bunch flat-leaf (Italian) parsley 2 teaspoons chilli flakes 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon salt 200g minced (ground) lamb (about 25 per cent fat) Red Onion and Sumac Salad (Optional) ½ red onion, finely sliced 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sumac 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil juice of ½ lemon, plus extra to serve Preheat the oven to its maximum temperature (as close to 300°C as possible). If you have a pizza stone or tile, place it in the oven.

Or leave your baking tray in the oven so it will preheat.

Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and add the salt. Make a well in the middle and slowly pour in 125ml (½ cup) of lukewarm water.

Knead the dough for 5 minutes. Sprinkle some flour on your work surface and then divide the dough into four balls. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and leave to rest.

Score a shallow cross in the base of the tomatoes, then transfer to a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave for 30 seconds, then plunge in cold water and peel the skin away from the cross. Cut the tomato in half and scoop out the stalks and seeds with a teaspoon. Roughly chop. Remove the seeds from the capsicum and roughly chop. Coarsely blend the tomatoes and capsicum with the capsicum paste, garlic, parsley, chilli flakes, pepper and salt. Combine the mixture with the lamb mince and stir thoroughly.

Place a ball of dough on the floured work surface and, with floured hands or a rolling pin, flatten into a round about 25cm wide and less than 5mm thick. Repeat with remaining dough balls.

Using a tablespoon, thinly spread the lamb mixture onto the rounds. Then press in with your hands. If you are using a baking tray, take it out of the oven and put a piece of baking paper over it. Dust the baking paper with a little wholemeal flour. Place the rounds of dough on the baking paper and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the edges are crisp.

Meanwhile, if you are making the salad, finely slice the onion and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and sumac, add the lemon juice and olive oil, then mix together. Sprinkle the salad over the lahmacuns, squeeze on some lemon juice, and serve. Serves 4.

Chef Somer Sivrioglu talks to Label about growing up Anatolian, his Istanbul food itinerary and the evolution of Turkish cuisine.

What was it like to grow up in Istanbul? I grew up in Istanbul in the early 70s, in a little multi-cultural suburb called Kadıköy. In the suburb where I grew up, there were a lot of different ethnicities – Armenians, Greeks, Jewish families and obviously Turkish families as well. I was quite lucky to take the different foods of those people, so that really broadened my sense of taste and understanding of how Turkish food is more than two dimensions.

What are your most iconic food memories of growing up in Istanbul? It’s just more about that communal feeling of eating together, and not only about the food in the sense that we have here. In Australia, it’s like ranking the chefs and the celebrities and designing cool, but there, it’s about great quality produce used with the proper techniques, but more importantly, it’s the atmosphere and the service of the place. That communal feeling is my most exciting memories from childhood.

When you came to Australia, how did you find the food transition? Very similar in terms of the variety because when I am talking about the 70s, when I started to grow up, Turkey also became a very open, liberal economy. We had a lot of American influence, so in my childhood I had an abundance of different culture’s food.

When I was growing up, having McDonald’s was more important than eating anything else. If you look at the Turkish food in that time, it was quite stagnant. That was not the food people would eat outside. If you were going out to more of a fine dining restaurant it will be Italian or French.

What direction is modern Turkish food taking in Istanbul? I don’t like the term of Modern Turkish; I mean, it’s quite funny because when I opened the restaurant, my tagline was Modern Turkish. But I like that new Anatolian movement. It’s just using our own resources in Turkey but presenting more in a restaurant environment but still using the produce from the four different regions of Turkey. It’s a good movement and there are a number of restaurants that are opening up in Istanbul and it’s advocated by one of my close friends, Mehmet Gürs and his restaurant Mikla. More people are evolving it and working on it and putting there own personal touches. Maksut Askar and his restaurant Neolokal, and another one is Yeni Lokanta by Civan Er. When you go back to Istanbul, what is your ideal eating day from breakfast to lunch? One thing I would almost eat every morning eat is Kaymak – that’s the clotted buffalo cream – with honey and freshly baked bread. I definitely have that every morning because that’s one thing that is very hard to make in Australia because you need to use unpasteurised buffalo milk. And then for lunch, if I’m local, I got to my favourite restaurant of the chef that I admire most, called Çiya. He is the guy who made regional Turkish food popular way before it was popular to do so. He will always have incredibly different dishes not even I’m used to in Turkey. At night time, with my friends we generally go to Meyhane, they are like Turkish mezze bars. Then you choose an array of mezzes, they come to the table, with the poison of our choice, Rakı, a typical Turkish alcoholic drink.

What treasures do you bring back to Australia? I always try to sneak in Salep, that’s the wild orchid plant that I use in cooking. I try to bring wild pistachio coffee and some organic sumac from a local supplier. It always makes for very interesting discussion at customs.

What direction is your restaurant in Sydney’s Balmain, Efendy, taking this year? We are very seasonally focused. I see myself as regional Turkish chef of Sydney, so whatever is fresh and seasonal in Sydney, that’s what I use. Currently, what you’ll see in my menu all around is pomegranate, both the black figs and the green figs, I adore parsley. Obviously lamb is something we can never give up, we live and die by lamb. Apart from three months of the year, always on the menu is eggplant.

A Very Auspicious

Autumn

Autumn is all about the orchard, bearing apples, figs, pears, persimmons and quince in their only true season. Plums, peaches, melons and nectarines are at their peak, alongside lemon and kiwifruit.

The vegetable bounty holds baking favourites such as sweetcorn, zucchini, tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, pumpkin, carrots and beetroot, along with fresh favourites beans, cabbage, cucumber, snow peas, turnips and spring onion. This issue, we are favouring figs for their versatility and ease of preparation. Enjoyable alone or alongside any course throughout the day, the humble fig is a statement flavour on its own.

Fig and Goat Cheese Tart It is as if the culinary gods combined the last two courses of your dinner party into one supple and deeply satisfying dish. Feed your sweet and savoury fetishes with the pungent vivacity of goat cheese,

Pastry Method For the pastry, preheat the oven to 170°C. Grease and line a 25cm round tart tin with baking paper, ensuring the base is removable.

Remove pastry from packet and unravel it onto a floured work surface. Ensure the pastry is the right size for your tin by placing the tin over the pastry sheet and observing a minimum of 2.5 cm border around the edge.

Line your tin with the pastry, pricking the entire base with a fork.

Cover the tin with glad wrap and place in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes.

Remove from the fridge and line the pastry case with baking paper, fill to the top with pastry weights or dried beans to support the sides of your structure.

Bake for 15 minutes until golden, then remove weights and paper, baking for a further 15 minutes. Fill with the goat cheese mixture once cooled.

For the goat cheese mixture Preheat oven to 175°C. In an electric mixer, beat cheeses, eggs, butter, sugar, vanilla and lemon zest until smooth, then pour over pastry and bake until set (25 minutes).

Cool to room temperature then top with sliced figs, sprinkle pistachios and drizzle with honey.

T

his is a holiday that gives the impression that you are staying in the private residence of a good friend.

The Reef House Resort & Spa is housed in a romantic, colonial style building with white washed walls truly capturing the romance of a bygone era. Originally built as a family residence in 1958, the 69-room resort boasts beach frontage overlooking the Coral Sea and has long been one of the standout properties in Palm Cove and indeed in Tropical North Queensland. This favoured hideaway of Australia’s elite is now part of the Accor network’s exclusive MGallery Collection of hotels and is already drawing rave reviews from visitors and travel industry professionals alike.

As with any resort holiday the room is the key to a great time. Each of the guestrooms boast plush, king size beds draped with light muslin netting and come with private balconies or patios either overlooking the ocean, garden or pool. Set amongst lush tropical gardens, the sweet scent of fragrant frangipanis is everywhere and with three sprawling swimming pools, 300-year-old Melaleucas and directly opposite the main swimming beach of Palm Cove, you can be in your own little world within minutes. This is paradise found, literally. The “our house” beach house feel of the property is what has given Reef House that certain “je ne sais quoi” which keeps guests coming back for more. In addition, every room features a kitchenette, individually controlled air-conditioning, rain showers, a swinging ‘love seat’ and complimentary Wi-Fi. The resort has also unveiled premium new beach house apartments which are spacious and perfect for those who want to make the most of a Tropical North Queensland holiday. In the iconic white-washed, beach-chic style for which Reef House is synonymous, the new twobedroom beach house apartments come with tranquil pool or ocean views and are tailored for guests wanting more space in a self-contained setting while among 5-star surrounds. Adding to the accommodation choices, brand new four bedroom apartments are also available. They come complete with a private pool, balcony, terrace spa and full kitchen – making them perfect for larger groups or families.

While Palm Cove is well-known as a fine dining destination, The Reef House Restaurant has earned its reputation as one of Palm Cove’s finest and was most recently recognised in the 2011 Australian Good Food and Travel Guides Chef ’s Hats Awards. Overlooking the palm lined esplanade, the restaurant is revered for its fresh, innovative cuisine, using local produce and the freshest seafood to create an eclectic menu of Australian, Asian and French inspired dishes.

At night the place to kick back and unwind after a day doing as little or as much as you like is the resort’s Brigadier’s Bar. Renowned in the area, with a reputation that dates back to its early days under the helm of namesake, Brigadier, The Hon. David Thompson, the bar is not officially open until all the candles in the resort have been lit and complimentary Brigadier’s Punch has been offered exclusively to guests.

For those that want to have a drink before the bar has opened, a time honoured honestly system applies.

Another addition to the many ways you can tune out and indulge yourself is the Reef House Spa. The Spa consists of three treatment rooms, two Vichy showers, two dual treatment rooms, a ‘Serenity Verandah’ and offers a range of indulgent treatments which meld ancient therapies from the ‘Dreamtime’ using a uniquely Australian Li’TYA Spa Care range.

Reef House Resort & Spa Palm Cove is located 25 minutes north of Cairns and in joining the MGallery Collection, the resort becomes part of a highly distinctive set of upscale hotels which possesses an exceptional personality through one or more of three principal categories: Heritage, Serenity and Signature. The peaceful and historic surrounds of this tropical resort make it a perfect addition to the MGallery Collection.

Things to do in Palm Cove...

At Reef House Resort and Spa in Palm Cove you can to do as little or as much as you like. Be adventurous, explore the reef by snorkel or get to experience the true beauty of the rainforest. The tour staff at the Resort can help you with any advice or bookings. Here a few options to consider.

Extreme White Water Rafting The Tully River is known as one of the most exciting white rafting rivers in Australia and is just one hour from Palm Cove. A 6.00am pick up will get you to the destination and you are returned at around 4.30pm. Age restrictions do apply and those from 13-18 years must raft with a parent or guardian.

Jungle Surfing Set in the pristine Daintree rainforest at Cape Tribulation this takes you on an award winning and unique rainforest adventure. Jungle Surfers fly through the trees on flying fox zip lines, stopping at five tree top platforms to take in spectacular bird’s eye views over the treetops down to cascading streams and then out to the Great Barrier Reef.

Blazing Saddles ATV Quad Biking If speed, mud and water courses are your thing then this adrenaline rush on four wheels is for you. You can wind through the challenging tire obstacle courses, weave in and out of rainforest tracks or dart through creeks and puddles of mud. No licence or previous experience is necessary and the vehicles are either 250cc or the more agile 90cc ATV.

Great Barrier Reef The Great Barrier Reef is one of the great natural wonders of the world and a variety of tours can get you as far out or as close to shore as you would like. Two of the best are to Low Isles, an idyllic, unspoilt coral cay island. Combined with the romance of big ship sailing aboard Quicksilver’s luxury sailing catamaran, Wavedancer, this is the perfect day for families and couples seeking island relaxation. The second is Quicksilver wave piercing catamarans that will take you to a reef activity platform at Agincourt Reef at the very outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef. Here you can choose to dive, snorkel, or stay dry and explore from the comfort of a semisubmarine and underwater observatory.

Cape Tribulation, Daintree & Mossman Tour The Daintree and Cape Tribulation rainforests are famed worldwide but visitors to the far north should also check out Mossman Gorge.

A Dreamtime Walk with tribal elders is included and the beauty of the natural surrounds are a photographer’s delight. Lunch at Silky Oaks Lodge is included and all vehicles are fitted with GPS activated commentary.

Kuranda Village The slightly hippie enclave of Kuranda Village has been visited by millions of tourists who come to enjoy the daily markets, bush walking, entertainment and shopping. The best way to travel there is by the Skyrail Gondola and on the Kuranda Scenic Railway – each an attraction in themselves.

Bungy Jump The AJ Hackett bungy jump site is set in lush tropical rainforest, 15 minutes north of Cairns. It boasts a 50 metre Bungy tower with views overlooking the ocean and the Northern Beaches, a Jungle Bar, spacious viewing decks and modern amenities.

win label’s top three cd’s Uptown Special by Mark Ronson Multi-award winning producer and musician Mark Ronson has topped the charts with his latest album ‘Uptown Special’ electrifying the globe. The album is headlined by the infectious beat of ‘Uptown Funk’ featuring Bruno Mars which has sat at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart for multiple weeks and certified three times Platinum. While looking for a distinctive female vocalist they discovered 23-year old Keyone Starr in a gospel choir in Jackson, Misssissippi and were blown away by her impressive range and presence. Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker plays a huge role on the album, lending his signature, woozy vocal to three songs.

Piece by Piece by Kelly Clarkson Much like the title of her latest album, Kelly Clarkson has been releasing snippets of information about her latest album ‘Piece By Piece’. Described by the original American Idol as being uplifting and inspirational, many of the new songs are dance oriented and offer an escape when life gets difficult helping the star to feel a little more “weightless” especially during what was her arduous pregnancy last year. To date Clarkson has released five studio albums, one greatest hits, one Holiday album and accumulated sales of 20 million albums worldwide. The first single off the album is ‘Heartbeat Song’.

80s Mix by Ministry of Sound If you like the diversity music of the 80s provided then you will love ‘80s Mix’ by Ministry of Sound.

This brilliantly conceived and executed four CD collection is filled with electronic classics. The compilation features some of the best of the 80s bands including New Order, Spandau Ballet, Run-DMC, Chaka Khan, Sister Sledge, Duran Duran, Blondie, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, The Human League and many more. The mix has a seamless transition from one classic hit to another with ‘Pump Up The Volume’ merging seamlessly into ‘Pump Up The Jam’ as an example. It is in effect the best of both worlds.

Reality Stars The moral for any potential entrant into the reality television genre is be careful what you wish for because the dream may become a nightmare.

What starts out as fun and laughter can very quickly turn into a breakdown, divorce, bankruptcy and more but happily some have used their 15 minutes of fame to launch successful careers away from the television screen.

Ben Williams, was from Epping Victoria and entered the Big Brother house at the beginning of Season One which he ended up winning.

When he left the house he started a sports management company with his winnings. The press rounds must have worked in his favour because he married Today show reporter Jade Robran.

Regina Bird known to one and all as Reggie, was the Tasmanian fish and chip shop owner with the highly distinctive voice who endeared herself to Australians everywhere. She won Big Brother season three, left Tasmania and her husband and worked for a time for Virgin as a flight attendant. She shocked everyone with the news that she is slowly going blind. Her son Lucas has also been diagnosed with genetic disorder cystic fibrosis.

Trevor Butler was the winner of Big Brother season four made memorable by the fact that he was the only one to win $1 million.

After a brief spat with the tax department – they wanted to take some of his winnings – he eventually won the right to keep all the loot. These days he can be seen working for Hot Tomato on the Gold Coast. He proposed to girlfriend Breea Forrest, they married and now have two children.

Karise Eden, the winner of The Voice season one, has had a tough time dealing with living her life in the public eye. The one time ward of the state, who had to deal with many issues regarding her upbringing, has confessed that she prefers to live away from the 70

label magazine autumn 2015

spotlight. The 22 year old has acknowledged that the pressure of her win caused her to have a nervous breakdown but she is still writing new material and performing at selected gigs. She gave birth to a son named Blayden in December 2014.

Harrison Craig, won The Voice season two as a baby faced 18 year old. He formed a great bond with Seal, his coach on the show, and now says that he considers they are great friends. He has had three songs in the top 10 singles chart with his cover of ‘Unchained Melody’ reaching No. 2 while his original song, ‘More Than a Dream, made it to No. 3. Harrison has landed the job of social media and backstage correspondent for the 2015 version of The Voice.

Leigh Sexton/Jennifer Evans were great friends who took out the title of My Kitchen Rules series 3 in 2012. Sadly the widely touted ‘Curse of MKR’ appears to have struck with reports that they were no longer speaking to each other a year after the win.

Dan and Steph Mulheron, the 2013 winners of My Kitchen rules, are a good news story from their experience on reality TV. For many years they had been trying to start a family and the $250,000 they won was used to start a cycle of IVF treatments. The baby is due in April which has been the cause of great delight from their many fans.

Next time you are passing through Hervey Bay, check out their very successful café aptly called Eat at Dan & Steph’s.

The first ever BMW 2 Series Convertible

This cute convertible will rock your world and change your attitude to life on the road – by Kate Bennett.

P

“A replacement for the outgoing BMW 1 Series Convertible, this is a car that can literally be all things to all people.”

72

label magazine autumn 2015

resumably the BMW boffins had our part of the world in mind when they came up with the design for the first ever BMW 2 Series Convertible. Add great motoring weather, a mixture of highway, city and rural driving plus the ability to put the top down and enjoy the sensational outdoors in the comfort of a superbly designed German car and you have heaven behind the wheel. A replacement for the outgoing BMW 1 Series Convertible, this is a car that can literally be all things to all people.

First things first – the look. The exterior design with its flat clean lines makes the car look longer and leaner. It has the focus of a runner looking down the track before a race and coupled with the low centre of gravity is a car on the move even when stationary.

Especially pleasing is the safety of having invisible roll bars which will appear in a fraction of a second in the event of an emergency.

Inside it is as you would imagine – luxury plus – with the feel and look of being wrapped in a cocoon of leather and chrome. Add the optional sports seats and you are soon transported into your own private world of motoring with all features and controls within easy distance of the driver. One impressive innovation is the ability to open the doors AND start the engine without using the car key. The key is recognised by the car, the doors will unlock and then by pressing the start/stop button you are ready to roll.

Too easy. Changing from open air to soft top is also incredibly simple. The electrically powered fabric top features extra insulation, optimised acoustic comfort and can open and close in 20 seconds at speeds up to 50km/h. In a word: seamless.

As a working mother I always need to ensure that the boot is adequate for my shopping needs. The luggage compartment volume has increased by 30 litres to 335 litres with the top closed or by 20 litres to 280 litres with the top open which is more than adequate for shopping or school bags. It also comes with standard features such as rain sensor, handsfree telephone facility, USB audio interface, BMW Professional radio including iDrive operating system with Control Display in flatscreen design, and automatic climate control with convertible mode.

A few technical details for those who like this information. There are four engine variants available – three petrol and one diesel – with either a six-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed automatic transmission. All are rear wheel drive. BMW have declared that everything has been improved. Fuel efficiency, handling, functions and driving dynamics as well as larger exterior and interior dimensions.

Finally, how easy is it to drive? Effortless is the best description. The first ever BMW 2 Series Convertible has extraordinary 360º visibility and, pardon the pun, it is a breeze to get around town in especially with the top down. Not too big, not too long, it handles like a dream, accelerates effortlessly and personally I think I looked pretty darn good in it especially when people could see me driving. It is a wonderful car and a perfect fit on every level for anyone wanting to enjoy the best of all motoring worlds. It has changed my mind about convertibles – I loved it. For more information on the first ever BMW 2 Series Convertible call Bruce Lynton BMW on 07 5557 7999.

All’s fair in love and...

text wars?

Vanessa Hernandez explains how a text is forever because it is treated as evidence in a court of law.

A

colleague of mine recently told me that parties separating should be provided with a Court monitored phone, that way, they would think twice before “sending that text” or “posting that status update”. I laughed but could not entirely disagree with the concept. In this day and age, everything can become evidence.

Clients constantly hand me their phones and ask me to “look at this text message!” If you are in this situation, you will know and recognise some (hopefully not all!) of these types of messages: 1. The “baiting message”. The writer sends you something that they know and hope will entice a reaction from you.

2. The “abusive message”. The message that calls you names and puts you down as a husband/wife and/or parent.

3. The “manipulative message”. The message intended to back you into agreeing to something by making you feel you have no other choice.

4. The “threatening message.” The message that makes you fearful of the other party and how they may proceed.

5. The “paranoid message.” The message that accuses you of things you have not done and would not do.

The list could go on and on... Most often than not, the client is right to be upset... the content of the message is abusive, mean or hurtful and sometimes, just plain bizarre. And then comes the question, “What do I write back?”

The danger here is that each party will enter into a text war, say things they really shouldn’t, and that the string of text messages exchanged will then be provided to a Judge at some later stage. And

if you thought text messages were bad; don’t get me started on status updates and comments on social media. It is never ending.

So how do I answer my client’s question as to what they should write back? I normally reply with, “Nothing. Write nothing back unless you absolutely have to.” In fact, my standard advice is simple and goes along the lines of, “If you would not be comfortable to have this email/text message/electronic post/conversation (etc) read out by someone to a Judge making decisions in your matter, then don’t write it/send it/say it/do it!”

Often, what people don’t realise is that in that moment they hit the “send” button during a heated exchange, they are creating evidence.

If the other party wants to do that, let them! But be mindful of your conduct particularly where children are involved and respond to only the necessary matters.

If you are involved in a high conflict separation or think your matter might become one, call us now. We offer a FREE half hour, confidential discussion in which we can discuss and provide you with solutions to assist you with your matter.

You don’t need to go through the separation process on your own and certainly, you don’t need to stress when a simple phone call can bring you peace of mind. At OMB solicitors, we make it our priority to understand your unique circumstances, provide you with solutions and work with you to resolve your matter in a simple and timely manner. Contact our Family Law Solicitor, Vanessa Hernandez, today to see how we can assist on 07 5555 0000 or enquire online at familylaw@omb.com.au.

your guide to an amazing autumn

2 BE CONTINUED...

You leave the still-sleeping city behind to greet the sun as it rises on the road ahead. You wind your way along an empty coastal road and reach a hand into the cloudless summer sky that stretches out overhead – this is it, you think, this is what you’ve missed. That familiar feeling in a forgotten country town, a meal overlooking an endless ocean, a spirited dash through a secluded mountain road. Perhaps it’s time to tell your own story – one written by winding roads and bound by endless skies. Arrange a test-drive at Bruce Lynton and continue your story.
