Style explores the best of Christchurch, giving readers the opportunity to

develop and celebrate their individual style in life, home and fashion. A monthly

publication, Style is presented on high-grade gloss stock with a hard cover.

Delivered fl ow-wrapped to top real estate value homes around Christchurch,

Style targets readers with a high disposable income. Designed to inspire,

Style has a lengthy shelf life that offers excellent value for your advertising choice.

APRIL 2017

The clocks have been wound back and the darker, cooler and sometimes

slightly gloomier days have set in. Just as well we have the Easter break to look

forward to!

With this in mind, our April issue of Style is an Easter celebration, and what

better way to start than with a report on the Fabergé eggs from Russia. The

Russian revolution and the mystery behind the missing Fabergé eggs has always

intrigued me, so I enjoyed every moment of research on this topic.

We provide something to inspire you with an interview on page 14 with

ex-St Margaret’s students Gussie Cohen and Lucy Tothill. Their story of

determination and forward-thinking in founding the Educating Girls Globally

(E.G.G.) programme to support those in developing countries will leave you

feeling proud to be a Cantabrian.

In our living section, we look at mod cons that can make life that little bit

easier, as well as add wow factor to any room. Our mood board, on the page

30, takes on the essence of autumn hues and will help you dive right into the

season.

Remember that Easter doesn’t need to be a total sugar fest. Our Junior page

offers inspiration for some adorable non-edible Easter treats. If, despite your

own best intentions, it all turns to custard, wellness coach Elly McGuinness has

some fast-track tips on how to recover, should a chocolate binge occur.

Launching into the new fashion season, we also bring you the first issue of

Style Fashion Autumn/Winter. The fashion on these pages makes it impossible to

feel gloomy as winter nears, as there are so many gorgeous garments hitting

the racks. A personal favourite of mine are the rich caramel tones, so divine

they are sure to lift any winter blues.

Happy Easter and enjoy this issue of Style.

with Tim Goom

The grass really

is greener...

Nothing beats the scent of a freshly mown lawn.

For many of us, this sensory hit instantly triggers

memories of balmy childhood summers and outdoor

gatherings of family and friends.

Traditional lush lawns are hard wearing and soft underfoot. They can handle

the intensive foot traffic families and dogs mete out and provide a soft safe

place for young children to play. Picnicing or relaxing on your lawn will provide

a cooler alternative in the heat of summer to your hardscaped outdoor areas.

The uniformity of a well maintained lawn accentuates your home and garden

beds by providing a contrast.

Be prepared!

There are an array of options for creating a traditional lush lawn, but first

things first - proper preparation of the site is critical to the success of your

lawn. For a new lawn, existing growth and weeds should be removed and

the area levelled. Drainage should be considered to avoid wet spots and

flooding. Organic matter such as compost, manure and quality topsoil can be

added to improve the quality of the site. Lawns require regular watering, so

installing appropriate irrigation before establishing your lawn will help ensure

its successful growth.

• Ready lawn or instant turf will usually come with a premium price tag in

exchange for immediate results. Consistent watering will be necessary

and it may take time for the seams to disappear, but you’ll be able to

relax on your soft lawn in no time.

• Hydroseeding is when a mixture of mulch, fertiliser, seed and water

are sprayed onto a prepared, level area. The mulch protects seeds

and retains moisture.

• Hand seeding is the most cost effective option available but requires

careful attention to ensure an even spread.

Once your lawn is established, regular maintenance is required to protect the

investment you have made. Fertilising, spraying for weeds and watering are

crucial to keep your lawn looking its best throughout the seasons.

It’s covered!

There is a move towards lawn alternatives - spurred on by the significant

burden of maintaining a lawn. For some, lawn mower noise and maintenance,

excessive water consumption and chemical fertilising - and possibly allergies

- can make a traditional lawn overwhelming. Ground covers are becoming a

popular and eco friendly alternative. There are a range of native and exotic

ground covers which blanket the ground and create a lush look. Most are able

to withstand light foot traffic and require far less maintenance and watering

than lawns. Popular ground cover options include thyme, leptinella, blue star

clover, yarrow and moss. If considering a ground cover option, it is important

to create a physical border for containment - otherwise it may be difficult

to control lateral spread.

Fake it!

For the ultra low maintenance option, artificial turf has come a long way

from the highlighter-green astro turfs of the past. There is now a huge range

of natural colours, textures and varieties, which mimic real lawns. Guests

won’t be aware you’re faking it unless they have a very close inspection.

Artificial turf should be UV stabilized to avoid fading, although with minimal

care it can last for years. The huge benefit of artificial turf is that it doesn’t

require watering, fertilizing or weeding - and unlike its natural counterparts, it

significantly reduces allergy triggers. Artificial turf is perfect for smaller areas

or areas in which it might be tricky to navigate a lawnmower.

If you are looking out the window and surveying a post summer desiccated

lawn and want to discuss options, contact Goom Landscapes. We can advise

you on the best site-specific solutions to reinvigorate your lawn areas.

an ’80s Revival

For an era so often referred to as bad taste, the 1980s still

manage to assert heavy influence on present-day fashion. Only

recently the spotlight has been turned back on Princess Diana

with an exhibition, Her Fashion Story, on show at Kensington

Palace until February 2018. It seems we just can’t get enough of

shoulder pads, 10-denier tights and sexy off-the-shoulder looks.

Princess Diana

feeling Blue

in PaRis

Some are interpreting the mania

for blue at Paris Fashion Week as

a statement of “the blues” about

the perceived rise of nationalism

across Europe and America.

While its exact symbolism is up

for debate, one thing is certain:

blue is the colour of the season.

A host of designers all used

the symbolically-charged hue in

their autumn-winter collections.

Including; Celine, Dior, Issey

Miyake, and Elie Saab.

TwO sImplE sTEps TO hElp

yOu bOuncE back frOm an

EastEr

bingE

are you feeling guilty and maybe a bit ‘off’ after some extra

indulgence during the most recent and often sugar-focused

holiday? thankfully Elly McGuinness gives us some muchneeded

advice.

Holidays such as Easter will always be part of life and should be

enjoyed. You should be able to enjoy a break away from your usual

exercise and eating routine at certain times of the year and feel good

that you have mindfully planned to do so.

However, with the excellent marketing of tasty treats and perhaps

the temporary ceasing of your exercise programme during this

period, you might be feeling annoyed or frustrated at yourself for

over-indulging. If you’ve gone a bit overboard and need to reset or

re-energise your body, then check out these two simple steps to get

you back on track.

1. Move on froM the guilt

What has happened in the past has already been and cannot

be changed. It is important to be able to find a way to move on

from guilty feelings about binging to help prevent other unhealthy

behaviours from occurring – for example, binging on exercise to try

and make up for it afterwards.

I know it is difficult to put this step into practice just by telling

yourself to move on, so here are a couple of tools that can help with

acceptance and creating a positive mindset:

• EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). This can help to clear

disruptions in your energy system caused by negative emotions that

you are holding on to – in this case, the feeling of guilt from over

indulgence. There are a vast array of resources available to teach you

about EFT, or for more serious emotional blockages you can see an

EFT practitioner.

• Try a guided meditation podcast focused on self-love and acceptance.

First, download a podcast platform (I use ‘Podcast Addict’) and then

use keywords to find a meditation podcast. One I recommend is

called ‘The Meditation Podcast’ by Jesse and Jeane Stern.

2. Make choices that nourish you

Instead of focusing on things to avoid (e.g. sugar or chocolate) as a

way of getting back on track, move away from the deprivation mindset

and instead focus on what you can add to your body or life to help

you to feel healthier.

• Movement: Get back on track with your fitness after Easter by

choosing a form of movement that you enjoy, rather than one you

feel like you have to do. Do it with the purpose of enjoying it and

feeling more energised rather than a negative mindset that tells you

to work off the extra kilogramme or two you have gained.

• food: Choose foods you enjoy that you know are nutrient dense

and nourishing for your body. For example, buy your favourite fruits

to snack on during the week. When you focus on optimal nutrition

choices from a wide variety of foods your cravings for ‘quick fixes’

will usually decrease.

a new season, a new look? Andrea Hill gives us the

hottest hair trends for aW17.

Coming into the colder months, it still seems

like shorter is the way to go with the bobs

and lobs the main fashion trend, from the

runways to the red carpets. last year, it

was all about being light and whispy, now

it’s time to be a bit bolder with a stronger

texture and shape. A good way to do this

is with some bangs and blunt, yet textured,

ends. It’s time to break out those accessories

for some simple ways to jazz up your style.

the cut

With the length, try to hit just below the collarbone, long enough to

tie up out of the way. Add in some layers and, if you’re after a twofor-one

on trends, add in a fringe and you’re good to go.

Getting fringes can be a scary thought to some people, but you

shouldn’t be afraid. There is no right or wrong way to try a fringe.

Fringes don’t all have to be one length, so start with a longer one if

the colour

Medical Director

Dr Heather Jefferies

Coming into the colder months it’s time to brighten up those ends and

highlight features with some colour contouring. use the colour in your

hair to accentuate light and shadows, similar to contouring on your

face. This will create definition in your hair, making layers pop as well as

helping highlight certain facial features, giving your face a more-defined

look. Try not to go too light on ends – soft caramels and golden tones

will give the desired effect, rather than white or silvery blonde.

style it up

Time to break out your box of hair accessories that you’ve got hiding

away somewhere because they are all back on trend.

back in a big way, hair accessories can help you change up your

look, even simple things like bobby pins. use big pins and cross

multiple ones overtop of each other for an edgy way to style shorter

hair. If that’s not your thing go for anything with glitter or metallic and

you will be right on trend.

ARROWTOWN’S

SEASON TO CELEBRATE

Christine de Felice explores the beauty of arrowtown in autumn.

Blending the history of its former gold-rush days and the spectacular

beauty of its Remarkables mountain backdrop together with quirky

style and sophistication, Arrowtown is the perfect getaway destination

any time of the year… but especially in autumn.

In this mellow season the charming, tree-lined town not only

presents its renowned, stunning palette of autumn colours, it adds an

extra southern sparkle with the annual five-day festival, the Akarua

Arrowtown Autumn Festival.

Launched over 30 years ago, the festival has become an iconic

Arrowtown tradition, attracting thousands of visitors every year.

This year’s event will run April 20-25, with Market Day on April

22, featuring arts and crafts from local artisans, a highlight as always.

The Arrow Miners Band playing on the Old Red Truck and the

Buckingham Belles Can Can will provide some lively entertainment,

with other traditional events – including the Street Parade, Art

Exhibition, Photo Exhibition, the Grand Variety Concert, the Vintage

Cars, the Shotover Country Music Concert and the Arrowtown

Entertainers Musical – offering plenty of variety over the five days.

There are several events and activities aimed at getting the youngsters

involved, too.

If you have never been before, the festival is a unique opportunity

for you to be amused, surprised and entertained, and also to enjoy the

local vibe and sheer enthusiasm of Arrowtown’s people, including the

many volunteers that take great pride in putting their festival together.

Where To STay

Arrowtown has plenty to match the high-end choices of its glitzier

neighbour Queenstown, but in a more tranquil environment. Stone

House Cottage, for example, is a five-star luxury retreat in a historic

145-year-old storehouse.

The Arrowtown House luxury boutique hotel offers spacious,

comfortable rooms and cuisine prepared by an award-winning chef.

Arrowtown Lodge B&B is a complex of luxury cottages in a

gorgeous garden setting, while the luxurious Millbrook Hotel and Spa

Resort has many additional facilities including the 18-hole golf course,

a swimming pool, day spa and health and fitness centre.

Where To Dine

Eating and drinking out is one of the great pleasures of any holiday,

and with its more than 20 bars and restaurants, Arrowtown won’t

disappoint. From pubs, bars and cafés, casual restaurants to ethnic

eateries, and right up to top-of-the-range fine-dining establishments,

there is something for any time of the day or night.

Of course, Otago is one of New Zealand’s most renowned winegrowing

regions, so if you want to venture further, there are some 200

vineyards within a short drive.

Back at your Arrowtown base for a blissful day of shopping before

heading home, you will find a diversity of fashion, décor, furniture and

gift stores to browse through, so try not to max out the credit card!

TyPeS eVery STyLISh

MAN ShOULD OWN

If you don’t know the difference between a monk strap

and a derby, then it’s time to brush up on your shoe

knowledge as every man should know and own at least

one pair of the following styles.

1. Loafer

The loafer was first introduced by Wildsmith Shoes in

London. It is traditionally a casual shoe, but depending on

the construction can and is very easily worn on more formal

occasions.

2. Desert Boot

The style originates from a form of desert boots originally

worn by British forces in the Western Desert Campaign of

World War II.

3. DerBy

The derby has an open lacing system, in the form of two

quarters that are sewn on to the vamp. Conversely, the

Oxford has a closed lacing system (No. 7).

4. Boat

Invented in 1935, by American Paul A. Sperry (founder of

footwear company Sperry Top-Sider) and always worn

without socks.

5. Monk strap

A monk shoe has no lacing and is closed by a buckle and a

strap. It is typically a more dressy footwear option.

6. Wing tip

On a pair of wingtips, the toe cap is both perforated and

serrated along its edges and includes additional decorative

perforations in the centre of the toe cap.

7. oxforD

Sometimes called Balmorals after Balmoral Castle, the shoes

were eventually renamed after Oxford University where they

were popular amongst students in the 1800s.

8. CheLsea

Chelsea boots are ankle-high boots with an elastic side panel.

This boot dates back to the Victorian era, when it was worn

by both men and women.

9. Brogue

As a general rule, a shoe is less formal the more broguing

(decorative perforations) it has.

Ross Kiddie is charged up over BmW’s hybrid 7-series.

The New Zealand government’s decision to buy BMW 7-series cars

for its ministerial fleet has always been met with opposition by those

who feel more should be done to promote eco-friendly cars.

Personally, I don’t have a problem with the use of the 740d; the

engine is diesel-fed, it is economical and it easily meets rigid European

emission standards.

All that aside, I do believe the government here should be looking

at the 740e, a hybrid version of the 7-series, it encapsulates all

that the seven represents, but in a package that should satisfy the

environmentally-conscious.

The 740e is a trick piece of automotive design, the twinturbocharged,

four-cylinder engine displaces just 1997cc, but in

total it pumps out an amazing 240kW and 500Nm, assisted by all

the benefits electric propulsion generates. And if you add into the

equation a 2.1-litre per 100km combined-cycle fuel-usage claim, it all

seems a little improbable. But, the reality is, those figures are verified

and, what’s more, the 740e can travel up to 40km on electric power

only. Not only does the hybrid system work alongside the engine, it

also has plug-in capacity, that is the batteries can be charged using

household electrical supply.

It’s not just the mechanical engineering that makes the 740e rather

special, everything about the car is trick – right from the doors that

close by themselves (if they haven’t been pulled tight), to the hand

commands, which will control many of the in-cabin features.

I guess for a car that will set you back $200,000 the 7-series would

need to have a lot on offer, and it does. It is loaded with specification,

which leaves nothing to the imagination. It also drives majestically,

I‘m picking only a few will be sold to private buyers, it is a car that

lends itself to chauffeur-driven limousine use, and that’s why it is the

Crown’s choice for its ministers. Albeit, those in that pool are longwheelbase

versions, whereas the test car was standard length.

That aside, it is still the large, plush, luxury car that you would

expect BMW to do well. It glides in motion and is so quiet you can

never really tell what mode the driveline is in. Sure, you can select a

sport mode, which displays the rev counter to show what the engine

is doing, but in standard mode the comprehensive display graphics are

structured towards economical motoring and encouraging the driver

to make use of electrical current.

The 740e offers startling acceleration. It will scamper to 100km/h in

5.6sec and will make a 240km/h top speed (if laws allowed). The feel

Style | motoring 61

of acceleration is constant, and while it may be a hybrid, the big 740e

isn’t lethargic, it constantly feels spirited and that’s amazing considering

there is a lot of weight to shift at almost two-tonne.

On the open road it gobbles up distance willingly, it rides softly,

affording a glorious ride of luxury. Huge 20in Pirelli tyres are quiet

and offer substantial grip, even though there is a lot of weight working

against them. The 740e isn’t a car in which you can go gangbusters

into a corner, but it does, very reassuringly, have balance and solidity.

A lot of that has to do with drive through the rear wheels. The

handling sensation is pure.

If you also factor in the low position in the chassis where the hybrid

system batteries sit, as well as the low ride height, the centre of

gravity is such that the body doesn’t sway over the suspension, any

body movement is arrested and controlled by the complexity of air

suspension.

BMW has adopted a fairly traditional approach to its hybrid

mechanicals, it’s a bit like describing it as a Toyota Prius on steroids,

and, of course, the 740e is a car of stature and grandeur.

However, if hybrids aren’t your thing, the brand new 7-series also

arrives with V8 petrol power or the six-cylinder diesel I mentioned in

my introduction.

While I couldn’t replicate those fabulous fuel-usage figures BMW

claim, after 250km in the test car it was showing an 8.1L/100km

(35mpg) combined cycle average, which is pretty smart under test

conditions.

BMW is working on a well-advanced programme introducing hybrid

options throughout its range. That doesn’t surprise me, in the last

few years most vehicles in its line-up have had battery-regeneration

technology.

I’m looking forward to driving more hybrids from this high-profile

German manufacturer, perhaps something more middle-of-the-road,

akin to the life I lead.

CREAMY COCONUT YOGHURT

Nicola Galloway shares one of the divine recipes from her latest book.

I am often asked at my workshops for a dairy-free yoghurt recipe, so

share this lusciously tart and creamy coconut yoghurt recipe, which I

make for my son who is dairy intolerant. It is easy to make but read

the recipe carefully, as there are a few simple steps to success.

The easiest and most effective way to get started is to use a small

quantity of store-bought, unsweetened coconut yoghurt (check that

it contains live cultures in the ingredients list). Once you have your

first batch going you can continue to use yoghurt from each batch to

inoculate your next one. It’s as simple as that.

Alternatively, a quality probiotic in capsule or powder form (check it

is dairy-free if required) can be used, but this option is expensive if you

have to purchase a whole bottle. If you already have a bottle knocking

around in the fridge, check the use-by date as probiotics lose their

effectiveness over time.

Although I don’t often recommend particular products, I have

found canned coconut products vary greatly and make a difference

to success. Trade Aid Coconut Milk is my go-to as it results in a

gorgeously creamy yoghurt. It does, however, contain a small amount

of guar gum, a natural stabiliser that can be a gut irritant for some

people. If this is the case, use 100% coconut cream such as Ayam

Coconut Cream (use two cans as they are smaller 270g size) or Little

Bare Coconut Cream (a local Nelson product).

MAKES 400G / GLUTEN-FREE / DAIRY-FREE

400-540g coconut milk or coconut cream

(see introduction for recommended brands)

Plus one of the following:

2 Tbsp coconut yoghurt from a previous batch or store-bought

coconut yoghurt with live cultures

2 probiotic capsules or ½ tsp quality probiotic powder

(40 billion live cells per capsule)

Quantities can be increased to make a larger batch.

Scoop the coconut milk or cream into a clean 500ml jar and use a fork

or small whisk to combine. If the thick cream in the can is too solid

to mix into the liquid, gently heat the contents of the can in a small

saucepan until melted together – don’t boil, just heat until combined –

then pour into the clean jar and cool to around 40°C.

Spoon in the reserved coconut yoghurt or open the probiotic capsules

and sprinkle the powder over the milk/cream. Stir well then secure the lid.

Place somewhere warm to ferment for 12-24 hours. In the warmer

months a high shelf in the kitchen may be warm enough, but in winter

a little ingenuity could be required. I use a yoghurt maker (with a

500ml Agee jar), filling the maker with warm tap water (40-45°C) to

the level of the shoulder of the jar and replacing the water after 12

hours if the yoghurt needs longer. The water must not be too hot or

the yoghurt can separate. After a few batches you will work out the

best position for your home and time of the year.

After 12 hours, check the flavour of the yoghurt. It is ready when it

tastes and smells sweetly sour and has thickened a little – how much

will depend on the brand of coconut milk/cream used. If needed, leave

for a further 6-12 hours until the taste is to your liking.

Place in the fridge and chill for 8 hours

to thicken before eating. If the yoghurt

separates in the fridge, simply stir to

combine. Consume within 7 days.

Remember to save 2 tablespoons

to make your next batch.

PEKING

ON PAPANUI

Vanessa Ortynsky explores the

newly re-opened Sala Sala.

A large estate stands out from Papanui Road, beckoning dinners

from Merivale and beyond. The windows catch the early evening

sun, and the fit-out makes Sala Sala the perfect setting for an

evening out.

Sala Sala reopened under new management at the beginning

of this year, and it’s quickly becoming a mainstay in Christchurch’s

culinary landscape. The new menu incorporates a variety of Asian

dishes and is renowned for its Peking duck.

We begin our meal with fresh salmon sashimi and pork, and

chive dumplings cleverly warmed over tea-light candles. The

steamed dumplings are ever-so-slightly pan-fried and served with

soy sauce and chilli for extra zing.

As per the owner Victor’s recommendation, we share the

Peking duck for our main course. The Chinese speciality needs

to be prepared a day in advance. The extensive cooking process

means it’s often absent from the menus of contemporary Asian

establishments.

Having indulged in Peking duck a handful of times both in New

Zealand and Hong Kong, it’s safe to say the duck on offer at Sala

Sala tops the list for quality. Tender, succulent and crispy, the duck

is served contemporary style with both skin and meat rather than

only the crispy skin (which is customary in Hong Kong). The thin

crêpe-style pancakes maintain their temperature thanks to bamboo

steamers, in which boiled water sizzles for at least 10 minutes upon

arriving at our table. The combination of the light crêpe and tender

duck doused in plum sauce is an unbeatable combination, and we

quickly devour the entire dish.

They say you should judge a man by the company he keeps, and

I think you should judge a restaurant by the quality of its Peking

duck. Sala Sala has artfully mastered this delicacy. Whether or not

you’re one for Peking duck, however, you’ll still love the carefully

selected menu at this fine establishment.

Cantonese

Cuisine

AT THe CASinO

Vanessa Ortynsky discovers Chi Kitchen.

PHOTOGRAPHY Charlie JaCKson

Victoria Street is something of a go-to area for an evening out,

with bars and restaurants lining almost the entirety of its length.

There are a handful of venerable places that have survived the

transformation from a business district to an evening hotspot

precinct.

Chi Kitchen is located upstairs, on the second floor of The

Christchurch Casino, which has stood at the southern end of

Victoria Street for more than 20 years. Chi Kitchen presents diners

with an authentic Cantonese menu and dishes inspired by the

streets of Guangzhou. The décor is gently lit with red accents;

departing from the large bright casino atrium with a quieter, more

intimate setting.

We are warmly greeted by several staff members and promptly

seated. Before long, we have drinks in hand and are perusing the

menu full of enticing mains and entrées. Jing Jin, the restaurant’s

manager, directs our attention to the flat-screen TV above the bar,

on which we have a live feed of the wok in the restaurant’s kitchen.

The wok is a key feature for several of the menu’s dishes and we

are keen to see it in action. From watching our dumplings, and stirfry

mains being skilfully prepared, it’s clear that Chi Kitchen takes

delight in the hospitality efforts of its staff.

The attentive service is rarely found outside of an upscale hotel

and is refreshing in such a relaxed location. The food is tasty

and flavourful to the point at which you need to take care not to

overindulge and crowd out dessert. We were treated to a number

of bite-sized cakes and sweet delights while we sipped tea still

mesmerised by the wok on the big screen.

While Chi Kitchen now faces some competition from the

numerous establishments popping up on this side of town, they are

well up to the task, offering delicious food and unparalleled service.

PRISCILLA QUEEN OF

THE DESERT OPENING

NIGHT

A huge dollop of camped up insanity gushed all the

way from the Australian Outback to stiletto strut across

the stage at the Isaac Theatre Royal, to be met with an

uproar of approval. The fi rst night of Priscilla Queen

of the Desert was a sparkling success, seducing the

audience to a state of helpless laughter. Appropriately

attired fans whistled, hooted, waved and stomped

as they sang along with the myriad disco and ‘70’s

pop hits. Costumes as colourful as a bag of manic

liquorice allsorts, minced and danced up a storm as

overhead, the levitating Greek chorus combined to

create a vision reminiscent of a comedic nightmare.

The evening was truly fun and truly exhausting!

GARDEN OPENING

Animated plants strolled about Selwyn House like a

scene from a storybook, causing little eyes to widen

with wonder and little hearts to fl utter with excitement.

It was not a mad scientist who had caused the pretty

fl owers to walk upright but Jenny Gillies who, having

clad teachers and staff in her gorgeous creations,

offi cially opened the preschool’s new garden. Hot

and humid, the day was perfect for a garden party

and following a song from the pupils, a blessing by

James Robinson, Jenny, got up as a honey bee, sliced

the blue ribbon. Afternoon tea among the blooms

concluded the wonderful day.

HARCOURTS

HOLMWOOD 25TH

BIRTHDAY

Mike Green, Lynne Macdonald

Harcourts Holmwood celebrated a quarter of a century

of ministering to the real estate needs of Christchurch

at Mona Vale. The soft and humid evening was perfect

for the garden party as staff members both veteran

and new, reminisced and recalled the last twenty

fi ve years. Keeping the party fuelled was a parade

of luscious catering which culminated in the birthday

cake, cut and distributed to delight the multitude.

How fi tting that such a distinguished company, should

party in such a distinguished house. Happy Birthday to

Harcourts Holmwood!

You won’t find the secret behind 25 years of success in this ad.

For that, we’ll need to meet in person.

Sure, we can throw numbers around. The headline could have focused on our Fendalton branch

winning the Harcourts Top Office in Canterbury award 19 times (and Ilam 3 times) over 25 years.

Or talk of the billions of dollars in property we have been entrusted to sell over these 2.5 decades.

It’s people who make our success possible. That’s what ‘my kind of people’ means. It is at our heart –

providing us with the energy to move forward.

We want to thank our clients and surrounding communities for their support over the years. Discover

how we can succeed for you, get in touch today.

STUDIO 125 GALA

GRAND OPENING

Art lovers had a treat, just perfect for a warm autumn evening as

Merivale basked in lingering twilight. Studio 125 was made ready

for the fl ood of guests, invited to attend the grand opening. Crisply

aproned waiters proffered good things which ministered to the

needs of the palate, as the art did to the appetite of eyes and

mind. Cruising through the rooms and outside in the garden, with

footsteps crunching on the pastel shingle, attendees consumed the

visual buffet of talent. Around every corner a fresh morsel awaited to

tempt the attention. Studio 125 is up and running, ready to entice

visitors who, may not want to leave.

As the dreamy tones of autumn began to manifest

in nature, the dream world of fashion also unfolded

and nowhere more so than at Corcovado, where

Lynn Woods has woven her magic. Among the

objects of stylish living, guests circulated and

socialized awaiting the show’s commencement.

The fi rst confi dent steps on the catwalk heralded

a steady procession of models, parading garments

clad in which, one may greet the cooler seasons

with elegance and swish. Complimentary

applause rang out loudly, congratulating Lynn on a

marvellous, as usual, show.

CHAMPS-ELYSEES DAY SPA

GRAND OPENING

Luisa Dacombe-Valentine, Laura Hunter

The soft drizzly mist draped like a bridal veil over the face of

Merivale and welcoming lights shone from antique windows.

Within the gracious Victorian mansion, celebrations were

underway as the ladies from Champs-Elysees Day Spa offi cially

opened their new premises. Stepping inside, away from

evening’s humid touch, guests were enveloped in a wonder

world of elegant opulence, to marvel at the lush surroundings.

Flutes of fi zz and trays of irresistible goodies proved popular as

did the opportunity to explore the halls and rooms of the oasis

of pampering.

ST PATRICK’S DAY

CHARITY AUCTION

Elizabeth and Richard Ineson

The fl avour of Ireland was being savoured at The Bog on

the day before St Patrick’s day when a charity auction

was turned on to aid the Bone Marrow Cancer Trust. The

overwhelming colour was of course, green and within the

dimly lamplit bar the fun was about to begin. Browsing

the items up for grabs in the silent auction, guests made

secret bids, conserving some resources for the noisy live

one to follow. The tune tootling rustic band, provided

the soundtrack for the evening which saw much needed

money raised, enabling the trust to continue their efforts

in combating this horrible disease.

research and clinical trials. Including an anti-aging beauty cream,

problems (including acne) and leaves skin looking and feeling younger

and softer. Dr Weir has harnessed the healing powers of nature to
