E DITOR’S COMMENTS Lygon Court’s Carolyn Palliardi c April 2009 ontents Welcome to the first edition of 380 Lygon Court Magazine. This magazine will guide you through what makes Lygon Court so unique; the fashion stores, Borders, the cinema, the health precinct, La Face and too many other stores to mention here. On the cover is the beautiful and successful Natalie Bassingthwaighte. Inside you can discover what she has to say. You’ll learn more about the men and women who make this centre so special from store owners to the people who work in them. LaFace has now become my beauty salon of choice and I thank the girls for updating my brows. They really gave me a lift. It was also enlightening to discover how many natural beauty products are in the market place and how much variety is available within Lygon Court.

Dianne Elderfield from Metropolitan Medical Centres was a great resource for information on what women should know over the decades.

T oday the 33 year old can add co-author of Sistahood! A Journal of Self-Discovery, two seasons as the host of So You Think You Can Dance, the lead role in recently released movie Prey and her Number One, charttopping solo album 1000 Stars to her list of achievements. It would not be out of place to say her star is truly shining brightly right now. Q & A with Natalie Bassingthwaighte 1 How would you describe yourself ? I’m like a jigsaw puzzle. I have different influences and I have different moods but in the end it is exactly who I am. For the first time I have been able to fully express myself creatively. I’ve had so many amazing experiences in my career. I’ve been punky with the Rogue Traders and more sophisticated as a TV host and I’ve played characters on stage and TV and had so many costumes and outfits. The album 1000 Stars is so me as it allowed me to strip back all that and just be the real me. 2 What do you do to relax? Anyone who knows me says I never relax – I’ve been called the energizer bunny! I’m always busy and I love being busy. But if I ever have a day off I love to get the full works done – manicure, pedicure, facial, massage. It takes the whole shebang to revitalize me from the zombie state I usually arrive in. 3 Are you a singer or actor? I’m still trying to figure out what I am. Singer, dancer, actor. I guess I’m still the same little girl playing dress-ups. I think I write entertainer (as a profession) and it often feels like people think I’m a stripper. I kind of think I’m like a bag of mixed lollies. 4 Do you think of yourself as a dreamer? I’m kind of a dreamer and I like to have these ridiculous, adventurous fantasies. The second single Someday Soon is about having a dream and following it. Yes, there’s hard work and times of wanting to throw it all in, but in the end it’s a moment of realizing life can be more amazing and more beautiful than you can ever imagine if you allow it to be. Maybe I’m a dreamer at heart! 7And your good habits are? I always like to pamper myself. I live in the salon and every time someone rings me I’m there getting my nails done or a facial. 8Any bad habits? I am a chocolate head. One minute I’ll be healthy and the next I’ll be looking at the cakes. I get jealous of people working in chocolate shops who get to eat chocolates whenever they want. It’s not fair. 6 What makes you mad? I have zero tolerance for incompetence. There’s nothing worse than when someone does a lousy job at something and they just don’t seem to care. It totally frustrates me! 9 What is the significance of the star on your wrist? When I was making the album I felt like I was surrounded by stars. Every day I asked if the stars were aligning and if everything was coming together okay and they were. There are two songs about stars. One is about falling in love which ended up being the album title and there’s a song about granddad who’s passed away and how he is the brightest star in the sky. I had the star tattooed on my wrist in L.A just as the album was completed. Every time I look at it, I can touch it or make a wish and it reminds me of my granddad and the achievement of this album. 10What’s next? If I could pick a few things I would like to do I’d play a superhero in a movie, maybe a cartoon character’s voice and tour the world. 5 Do you collect anything? I’m envious of Imelda Marcos’ shoe collection. I have about 60 pairs but I can always make room for more! And the sad thing is I bought most of them. “I’m like a jigsaw puzzle. I have different influences and I have different moods but in the end it is exactly who I am.” Natalie Bassingthwaighte’s new chart-topping album 1000 Stars is available from Borders Carlton, www.borders.com.au. 06 / 380 Magazine / Fashion Time travel THrough WINTER Military is marching out again as is layering, ruffles, ruching, fringing along with detail and embellishments – it’s all back this season.

I used to buy what ever I fancied. But today my shopping habits are different to what they used to be and I’m much more careful with my money. I buy classic pieces, with an edge, that will last and won’t date by the end of the season. I guess that’s why I like working for Ojay because that’s their style. I definitely know what I want most of the time. I have a certain style and know what works for me by hiding the bits I want to and wearing clothes that do my body shape justice. My guilty pleasures are shoes and lingerie. I spend a lot of money on lingerie. I love beautiful pieces by Chantal Thomass and Sally Jones. The orange shoes are by Versace. They were an extravagant gift to myself, in celebration of moving to Melbourne. I wanted a cream coat with a hood. It took me months but I eventually found what I was looking for - by Alannah Hill. I always wanted to do fashion design so, at 40, I did a Diploma in Fashion Design. I was quite good and won awards. It has given me so much more knowledge for working in fashion sales. I know a lot about the product, fabric and construction. It proves that if you are passionate about something, you can do it. I’m just passionate about what I do!

Black Orange Story – Twins Nicole Nason and Martine Flouch-Scott S tylish twin sisters Nicole Nason and Martine FlouchScott have been dressing women around Carlton and Melbourne at their Black Orange boutique for the past 15 years. They are warmly referred to as the Trinny and Susannah of Carlton, because they know how to make their clients look and feel good. At the age of 25 they followed their father’s advice and bought their own business – Black Orange. The twins, yes they are identical but you have to look hard because, while they seem to have similar tastes in clothing, each sister is quite different in style; for one, they wear their hair differently. But like most twins, they have an uncanny way of knowing what the other is about to say. They still work hard and have managed, to their merit, to retain the same staff for nine years. This has allowed them to juggle work and parenthood for themselves and their staff. “We’re like a big family with an understanding of kids and what that means,” says Flouch-Scott. “Surprisingly, some clients still don’t know we are identical twins until they see or read something about us,” says Nason. “I have to warn new clients because if they come into the store and Martine is working that day and hasn’t previously met them, they wonder why they are being ignored.” Black Orange boutique today is a niche business catering to the higher end. Their big-spending clients like to shop twice a year, rather then every week, as they are often time poor. “We offer a personalised service. Our clients make an appointment and then we put together their wardrobe for the season. We do it all - right down to the boots and sunnies so they are ready to go. We are all about service,” says Nason. Born into retail, the fashion business runs through their blood. Growing up their father had fashion sample shops all over Australia. The girls helped out from an early age and later gained more experience working for Covers and the department store Georges. Self-confessed workaholics, the sisters originally worked seven days a week ploughing everything back into the business to create a perfect shopping environment that combined the right look and labels with great service. Wardrobing makes up a big part of the business now for the sisters with their reputation as the Trinny and Susannah of Carlton spreading. “Our wardrobe side of the business is expanding as we now have husbands booking their wives in for a consultation and makeover,” says Nason. Over the last 15 years, the sisters have seen a lot of designers come and go and while some labels they stocked in the past are still going strong, their buying habits have changed to include fresh labels from younger designers. They admit to being ruthless with designers: “We change our labels so we are never boring and get rid of labels that don’t do well. We used to stock labels such as Thommy, Prue Acton, George Gross and Harry Who to name a few. The look then was all about the poplin jacket with big buttons, nicked-in waists, mini skirts and big earrings,” says Flouch-Scott. Fast forward to today and they are no longer stocking those labels, but they do carry Tiffany Trelor - Prue Acton’s daughter. They also stock Lisa Ho, Mela Perdie, Anna Rita and a few New Zealand labels including Trelise Cooper. Fashion style today is not as pigeonholed as it has been in the past; there is a much broader choice. The looks from individual designers are quite unique, especially the ranges from New Zealand designers. “New Zealand designers have a real point of difference. They stand out, are well made and offer quality for the price. They are often edgy, more like a piece of art and so unusual that you often receive comments when you wear something by a New Zealand designer,” says Nason. The sisters admit to being very honest with each other about what they wear. “If I don’t like something Nicole wears I tell her to go and change; or if I like something I’ll often get Nicole to try it on first,” says Flouch- Scott. With Nason concentrating on clients and the staff and Flouch-Scott doing most of the buying, the sisters have proved that you can mix family and business or, as Flouch-Scott says, “Maybe it’s a twin thing”. Whatever it is, even in this economic climate, they seem to be doing it the right way. 025 / 380 Magazine / Interview Dvd’s / 380 Magazine / 023 DVDs Watching your hip pocket?

Over the course of their encounter, each man would reveal his own insecurities, ego and reserves of dignity - ultimately setting aside posturing in a stunning display of unvarnished truth. Reprising their roles from Morgan’s stage play are Frank Langella, who won a Tony for his portrayal of Nixon, and Michael Sheen, who originally played the part of Frost onstage in London and New York. What does it take to find a lost love? Bella Swan has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen, a boy unlike any she’s ever met. Edward is a vampire, but he doesn’t have fangs and his family is unique in that they choose not to drink human blood. Intelligent and witty, Edward sees straight into Bella’s soul. Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal Malik, an 18-year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India’s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show’s questions. Intrigued by Jamal’s story, the jaded Police Inspector begins to wonder what a young man with no apparent desire for riches is really doing on this game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and 60 million viewers are about to find out… Soon, they are swept up in a passionate, thrilling and unorthodox romance. To Edward, Bella is what he has waited 90 years for, a soul mate. But what will Edward and Bella do when a clan of new vampires, James, Laurent and Victoria, come to town and threaten to disrupt their way of life? ‘ 024 / 380 Magazine / Ruffle Mania Ruffles Mania / 380 Magazine / 025 RUFFLE mania It’s everywhere Ojay Carlton Frill Colar & Sleeve - Ink Black Orange Third Millenium Chiffon Top $299 Silk Lane Jersey Ruffle Top - Blue $29.99 $139 Photography by William Hung Ojay Carlton Frill Neck Top - Stone $129 Ruffle mania has arrived.

Quiet Nights Diana Krall Borders Price $19.95 Bare Bones Madeleine Peyroux Borders Price $19.95 White Lies for Dark Times Ben Harper and Relentless7 Borders Price $21.95 Diana Krall weaves together a sensuous blend of ballads and bossa novas for her new album Quiet Nights. The third album in four years from song interpreter extraordinaire Madeleine Peyroux, Bare Bones is both an extension of the currents of 2004’s Careless Love and 2006’s ‘Half the Perfect World’ and a bold step into previously unexplored psychological terrain. With Ben Harper and Relentless7, the story of modern rock music is now being rewritten. This album is a timeless rock record, with a cohesive collection of music that is raw, unrelenting and thunderous, as it is arrestingly haunting and emotional. The romantic album combines Brazilian and west coast jazz styles and features three recordings of songs by bossa nova legend Antonio Carlos Jobim. Quiet Nights reunites Krall with arranger Claus Ogerman for the first time since the multi-platinum selling 2001 album The Look of Love. “It’s not coy. It’s not ‘Peel me a grape,’ little girl stuff. I feel this album’s very womanly – like you’re lying next to your lover in bed whispering this in their ear,” Krall says. Available at Aurum Design Jewellers: Lygon Court, 380 Lygon St Carlton 93477124 Available now at Demarte’s Amcal Chemist: Lygon Court, 380 Lygon St Carlton Produced, like its two predecessors, by Larry Klein, this fluid and enthralling new work is Peyroux’s most personal yet, hardly surprising considering she had a hand in writing each of the 11 songs, marking the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. On the raucous opening track, Number With No Nmae, Harper bellows “the very thing that drives you - can drive you insane” over an infectious guitar line and a deftly serious groove that both thumps and propels the listener. Songs such as Shimmer and Shine and Up To You Now, are surely soon to be familiar staples on radio. 028 / 380 Magazine / Gold Rush Gold Rush / 380 Magazine / 029 Gold rush One off designer pieces showcased by Aurum Design Jewellers AURUM DESIGN JEWELLERS One Off Designer Brushed Zig Zag 18ct/g Designer Ring $ 649 AURUM DESIGN JEWELLERS One Off Designer Brushed Rope & Ball 18ct/g Necklace $2,399 AURUM DESIGN JEWELLERS One Off Designer Brushed Bangle in 18ct/g $4,550 030 / 380 Magazine / Trend Alert: Coats Mother’s Day / 380 Magazine / 031 BUYERs picks COAT tALES great gifts Coats are bold and structured making a colourful statement this winter.

He is also the man responsible for bringing Alessi products to our shores and into our homes years ago. “We are the oldest retailer for Alessi” says Madden, the man behind the highly successful RG Madden design stores. RG Madden stores today still carry the highly sort-after Italian brand Alessi; known for it’s innovative and creative designs by the world’s foremost architects and designers. From the Alessi collections he prefers the formal range in stainless steel and steers away from the funky coloured plastic designs. “I’m not interested in plastic, funky stuff” says Madden. The piece he likes at the moment is the Resonance bowl by designer Abi Alice, who just happens to be an Australian. Madden actually played a small role in Alberto Alessi and Abi Alice meeting. Madden brought Alberto Alessi to Australia in 1995 to lecture at Swinburne University of Technology and the University of NSW. Alessi met the then 19-year-old student Abi Alice in NSW at the university and liked her work. The two struck up a friendship and kept in contact. That meeting came to fruition years later when she designed the Resonance bowl for Alessi, which happens to have been the biggest seller in Europe for the past two years. “I’m really pleased we were instrumental in the producer meeting the artist,” says Madden. “She had the talent and he had the eye and 12 years down the track it all came to fruition. I’m proud to sell the product.” 1 2 3 “Resonance Centrepiece” design Abi Alice, 2006 6 UNDER Silk Lane $100 Pleated Knit Dress $99 Silk Lane Zip Cardi with fur hood - grey $99 Counrty Road Carlton Short Leather Glove $79.95 Ojay Carlton Felt Hat with Knit Bow $59 4 7 Ojay Carlton Fingerless Wool Gloves - Charcoal $25 Counrty Road Carlton Sheri Leather Wallet $99.95 5 8 Counrty Road Carlton Long Sleeve Pocket Cardi $99.95 Ojay Carlton Multi Strand Mesh Bracelet $89 036 / 380 Magazine / Bootylicious Booty licious BOOTS WITH ATTITUDE MIDAS CARLTON Gemma Boot - Black $468 SILK LANE Knit Pewter Dress $119 BLACK ORANGE Cuff $400 Bootylicious / 380 Magazine / 037 038 / 380 Magazine / Bootylicious Handle It / 380 Magazine / 039 Boots have an attitude of their own this season. It’s all about variety. Styles go from rocker to biker, flat equestrian to knee-high heels. The ankle boot is still grabbing a lot of attention but the common link between all these styles is the detail – there is barely a plain boot in sight!

Each decade brings changes to the body and new insights into what needs to be done to keep the body at its optimal functioning level and lessen the need for medical dependence in senior years.

Teen ignorance can lead to teen pregnancies and STDs that can cause infertility.

KEY TESTS: Pap test, STI swab test, pelvic examination WHEN: Every two years BY: Your GP or Gynecologist 20s As you enter the twenties you can find yourself burning the candle at both ends and overlooking your health, unless symptoms appear. For early detection or to prevent illnesses there are simple checks you can make, because this is the decade for you to become aware of your own body changes. Give your breasts a monthly examination and check moles regularly. You should also consider having your eyes tested if you are required to look at a computer screen or do other “near” tasks daily. Symptoms that can develop from this type of work are dry eyes, headaches, eye fatigue and problems with focus. Poor diet, through the desire to be thin, can lead to low iron levels and tiredness. KEY TESTS: Iron levels, skin and breast examination, eye tests WHEN: Iron levels if feeling run down. Skin and breast test once a year with your doctor. Eyes every two years unless advised differently BY: GP, Optometrist 30s The thirties is the decade when you often find yourself juggling work and an active social life along with the start of motherhood. With very little “me” time, women can find themselves feeling just under par but not unwell enough to visit a doctor. Apart from all the tests mentioned above, that you need to follow up on, you should also get blood tests to check sugar levels, vitamin D and cholesterol levels. High sugar levels are a risk for diabetes and low vitamin D levels can lead to an increased risk of heart disease and cancer. High cholesterol levels can put you at risk of a heart attack or stroke. If overweight, weepy and tired it is also a good idea to test the thyroid function. If there is family history of cardiovascular disease then get to know your blood pressure readings. KEY TESTS: Blood tests for all the above WHEN: Once a year BY: GP OUTDOORS Cycling is a wonderful way to get fit. 042 / 380 Magazine / Health 40s The 40s or family years are often when you feel really confident in yourself, but also get stressed to the maximum because of everyday family issues. Toward the end of this decade you could be pre-menopausal, which can lead to a time of emotional and physical change. If you are experiencing unusual mood swings, and changes to your menstrual cycle you should consult your GP. You should have regular pap tests and blood tests for diabetes, vitamin D and cholesterol. And add mammograms, unless there is a family history of breast cancer - then you should start them earlier. KEY TESTS: Mammogram, blood tests to check hormones and all the above WHEN: Mammogram, every two years unless advised differently BY: Radiologist, GP 50s If you are turning 50 or 55 before the end of 2010 the Federal Government will send out a free FOBT test (faecal occult blood test) to screen for bowl cancer; this can be done in the privacy of your home. Even if the test comes back negative for blood it is recommended that you have a colonoscopy every five years once you enter this decade. A bone-density scan in this decade can give you enough time to improve your diet and start exercising if bone loss is indicated. Diet and exercise are vital in the fifties as you deal with the onset of menopause and general aging of the body. Treatment Talk / 380 Magazine / 043 60+ Women can lose calcium from as early as their thirties. If you maintain a lifestyle that includes a healthy diet and regular exercise, have no family history of osteoporosis and you are not taking medication for your thyroid then a bone density scan may not be necessary until you turn 60. In this decade arthritis usually sets in, joints can ache and the body stiffens up. Blood pressure and cholesterol levels can rise so a healthy diet is essential. Walking and hydrotherapy are excellent ways to reduce joint pain and lower cholesterol and blood pressure. KEY TEST: Bone density scan, cholesterol and blood pressure checks WHEN: Every year unless advised differently, bone density two to five years depending on results BY: Trained operators (GP referral needed for bone density) AT Any Age: Waist measurement should be 90cm or less. It is important to note that no two individuals are the same when it comes to genetics and general health and the above information is to be used as a general guide to the decades and the changes they may bring. TREATMENT TALK It’s all about the brow From skinny to bushy, the shape of brows tells a story that reflects fashion trends, culture and even politics. If you think back to the sixties when fashion, culture and love were freeflowing, brows were left unplucked. Actress Brooke Shields’ natural unshaped eyebrows in the film The Blue Lagoon became the much talked about norm for brows. By the eighties eyebrows had thinned again with hairs being plucked to just a few in a thin line. That decade represented the power suit, self obsession and greed was good. KEY TEST: Colonoscopy, bone density scan WHEN: Every two to five years depending on results BY: Gastroenterologist, trained operators (need GP referral) By the new millennium the style was for high arched, perfectly shaped brows. Fashion designer labels, glamour and celebrity status were to be desired and having it all, the expectation. Metropolitan Medical Centre offers “Women are very good at putting everyone else’s needs in front of their own. However, there are times in a women’s life when she needs to put herself first. Regular visits to a women’s health clinic will help support a woman through all her various stages in life” says Dianne Elderfield from Metropolitan Medical Centres Carlton. Today, it can be said, the mood is one of caring and sharing and being green so eyebrows - you guessed it - are getting bigger again. And we’re turning to fashion, beauty and politics with a conscious. Eyebrows with a fuller shape are back in fashion agrees Renata Sgambati owner of La Face Beauty Clinic. “Full eyebrows are in fashion and look great. It’s going back to what you had when you were younger,” says Sgambati. “There is more emphasis on a darker brow, even for women with blonde hair, so we do a lot of tinting. We use a vegetable dye that lasts 4 – 6 weeks depending on the client. “My more mature clients want a natural shape but many over-plucked in the seventies and a lot of them, in that age bracket, are now going grey. So I suggest, to my clients, that we tint the hairs that are there and teach them how to maintain them. It is wrong to pluck grey hair as it leaves patches and doesn’t grow back.” says Sgambati. Sgambati recommends having an eyebrow-shape consultation if your brows are not looking the way you wish they were. The shape of the eyebrow is very important as it can change the face. “Having your eyebrows shaped lifts the eyebrow, which helps if the eye is droopy. The more shape definition to the eye area the less makeup is needed,” says Sgambati.

Rating: M The New York Metropolitan Opera Seasonally at Cinema Nova Gomorrah Opens May 14 at Cinema Nova. Rating: TBC From the filmmaking genius that brought us such modern cinema classics as Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind comes an all-star comedy that breaks new existential ground. Following the huge success of the first three New York Metropolitan Opera live in HD seasons, Cinema Nova is proud to announce that The Met’s 2009/2010 season is the best yet! Commencing the season with Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca on October 24, the new season features such classic operas as Giuseppe Verdi’s Aida, Georges Bizet’s Carmen, Richard Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier as well as another Puccini favourite, Turandot. Lavishly staged and starring the finest performers from the international opera arena, The Met also plays host to guest directors (including film directors Anthony Minghella, Julie Taymor and Robert Lepage) and artists (designer Issac Mizrahi) who ensure that these productions, once experienced, are never forgotten. Based on the best-selling book Gomorra by Roberto Saviano, director Matteo Garrone’s Gomorrah is a riveting expose of the modern Neapolitan underworld. Five intersecting storylines illustrate the breadth of an Italian family’s control as deals are done to traffic drugs, create high-end fashion fakes, move toxic waste and keep people quiet. An ensemble cast of all ages shows the ability of the underworld to entice and consume individuals: a young boy looks to support his family through illegal means, two teens are seduced by the glamour and danger, and people from all levels of society seek to improve their means through a criminal connection. Shot with a fast-moving camera that moves amongst the action in the Italian suburbs of Scampia, Garrone’s film creates a fascinating insight into a world where both power and life can be short-lived. Synecdoche New York is the directorial debut of Oscar-winning writer Charlie Kaufman. Conceivably semiautobiographical, Kaufman’s film centres on writer and local theatre director Caden Cotard (Philip Seymour Hoffman), a frustrated artist whose wife (Katherine Keener) is succeeding in the creative field far more successfully than he. Following a well-reviewed staging of Death of a Salesmen, Cotard receives a grant to create his own original work. Wanting to make his mark, he sets out to create a thoroughly fresh theatre piece that re-enacts life on an increasingly grand scale. Featuring the talents of Emily Watson, Samantha Morton, Michelle Williams, Hope Davis, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Diane Wiest, Synecdoche, New York is brilliantly inventive cinema.

NAME ________________________________________________________________ ADDRESS ____________________________________________________________ PHONE _________________________________________________ MOBILE _________________________________________________ EMAIL __________________________________________________________ My wardrobe consists of mainly all black clothing and I don’t know how to change it. Every time I go to purchase something new I come home with another black piece. How can I remedy this? To expand your black wardrobe and include colour it’s best to begin with baby steps and add colour through your accessories. Buy the latest bag, scarf, jewellery or shoes finished with a splash of colour. Then you can become more daring and add a print or coloured shirt or knit to your black bottoms. Start with the neutral shades and as you become more confident add the new colour of the season. This way you can update your wardrobe for the new season very easily, while still wearing the basic black that you love. BLACK ORANGE Directions Scarf $69 Shop at Lygon Court in May for the chance to WIN a $1,000 shopping voucher! I‘m in my late forties and feel frumpy and dated. How do I easily update my look? My guess is that you have probably been doing your hair and makeup the same way for over 20 years and have been wearing the same safe look as well. There are a few ways you can approach this.You can go for broke and put aside an amount of money you can afford to spend. Then enquire what stores do wardrobing and put your faith in the sales assistant to put together a new look for you. Next you can visit a beauty clinic for advice on your makeup and brows. This updates your look very quickly. And then if you are brave enough, book an appointment at the hairdresser’s for a consultation. If you are not prepared to change your hair at least look at your face and see how you can change your eye shadow or brow shape and colour to give your face a fresh look. Or you can choose the tortoise approach. Look at your undergarments and update them. You will be amazed at how good you feel when you improve your body shape. Wearing the correct bra size and shape will change the fit and drape of your clothes. Next, read as many fashion magazines as you can so you understand your body shape better.

NAME ________________________________________________________________ ADDRESS ____________________________________________________________ PHONE _________________________________________________ MOBILE _________________________________________________ EMAIL __________________________________________________________ My wardrobe consists of mainly all black clothing and I don’t know how to change it. Every time I go to purchase something new I come home with another black piece. How can I remedy this? To expand your black wardrobe and include colour it’s best to begin with baby steps and add colour through your accessories. Buy the latest bag, scarf, jewellery or shoes finished with a splash of colour. Then you can become more daring and add a print or coloured shirt or knit to your black bottoms. Start with the neutral shades and as you become more confident add the new colour of the season. This way you can update your wardrobe for the new season very easily, while still wearing the basic black that you love. BLACK ORANGE Directions Scarf $69 Shop at Lygon Court in May for the chance to WIN a $1,000 shopping voucher! I‘m in my late forties and feel frumpy and dated. How do I easily update my look? My guess is that you have probably been doing your hair and makeup the same way for over 20 years and have been wearing the same safe look as well. There are a few ways you can approach this.You can go for broke and put aside an amount of money you can afford to spend. Then enquire what stores do wardrobing and put your faith in the sales assistant to put together a new look for you. Next you can visit a beauty clinic for advice on your makeup and brows. This updates your look very quickly. And then if you are brave enough, book an appointment at the hairdresser’s for a consultation. If you are not prepared to change your hair at least look at your face and see how you can change your eye shadow or brow shape and colour to give your face a fresh look. Or you can choose the tortoise approach. Look at your undergarments and update them. You will be amazed at how good you feel when you improve your body shape. Wearing the correct bra size and shape will change the fit and drape of your clothes. Next, read as many fashion magazines as you can so you understand your body shape better.
