PRESENT & CORRECT I’m writing in regards to the caption in the September issue, about Margo Barton, that said “Fashion doctor – what a fantastic job title and she’s the only one in NZ”. While I’m delighted that NEXT chose to publish an article about Margo Barton, as it was richly deserved, it’s inaccurate to say she’s the only New Zealander with this title. There are actually a few of us – I received my PhD in Fashion from RMIT in 2008. The postgraduate fashion community in NZ is very small and we know each other and have worked together at times, so we feel it’s important to clarify this point. Jan Hamon PAGE TURNER I was in a rush at the supermarket on Sunday morning when I bought the…

It’s as festive a scene as you ever did see. Couture jewels, sparkly gowns, chiffon, fairy lights, the whole shebang. And in the centre of the Christmas chaos, like the fairy at the top of the tree, is Hilary Barry. All smoky eyes and mischief, cracking jokes about looking like a dominatrix in one particular form-fitting black gown. When Barry sits down with NEXT, she’s firing on all cylinders – particularly impressive when you consider her alarm clock went off at 3am. But Barry is no stranger to this; she’s been the earliest of early risers for a very long time. There is one crucial difference, however: she’s now rising and shining on TV One’s Breakfast, after arguably being TV3’s most famous face for years. Her sudden resignation in April…

Amy Schumer has faced some tough crowds in her time and understands the value of getting in first and getting in funniest. In her recent memoir, The Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo, she refers to herself variously as “a blond Shrek”, a woman with a “Cabbage Patch head”, the “third hottest bartender” at a bar in Cincinnati, and someone who at a distance looks like Alfred Hitchcock. As in Trainwreck, the 2015 film that made her name, she catalogues her mishaps, pratfalls and minor brushes with the law, as well as more serious attacks on her welfare, while navigating the tricky line between her comic persona and the more heartfelt demands of the memoirist. There is one requirement she feels no urge to fulfil. After reading the first draft…

 Michelle Walshe has a job most of us can only dream of. The award-winning director ’s 2016 film, Chasing Great, had her shadowing All Black legend Richie McCaw for 20 months – 700 hours of shot-and-archived footage – across three continents. She’s just returned from rubbing shoulders with other global sports-industry leaders at a London conference, and from walking the red carpet at the glamorous Australian premiere, McCaw by her side. ‘I knew nothing about rugby union until I got to NZ in 2001... It seemed like something I’d need to know’ Excuse me while I swoon. But Walshe is not what you might expect from the person charged with telling the story of an All Black icon. An Australian who didn’t know a thing about rugby until she arrived…

When you mean business (and we know you do), then make your credit card work smarter. Gem Visa gives you six months interest free on all Visa purchases of $250 or more 1  – so buy those work-wear essentials and you’ve got six months before the interest kicks in.

“It’s a light, silky-smooth oil. The improvement to my stretch marks and skin dryness is noticeable!” Jos, Tauranga “It works, it’s as simple as that. It does what it promises.” Kristine, Auckland “The results speak for themselves - the product does what it says it will do. I have firmer, nourished and well hydrated skin. Skin that glows with health.” Bernadette, Wairarapa “I love it - my skin is definitely softer and feels firmer.” Kristine, Auckland “It’s the best body moisturiser I’ve tried. My skin feels softer and silkier than before I started using it.” Amy, Palmerston North “It really does seem to work to improve how my skin feels. It doesn’t come off on sheets or clothes like some other oils.” Dannielle, Lower Hutt The panel of New Zealand…

“Everyone wants effortless beach waves in summer, but it can be tricky to pull off when frizz is affecting your look,” says Mathias Te Moananui of Wellington’s Buoy Salon, who was named this year’s L’Oréal Style and Colour Trophy Awards Hairdresser of the Year. The solution? “Part hair down the centre, loosely braid each side and sleep in your braids overnight. Gently untangle them in the morning with your fingers, and voilà! Hair that looks like you just stepped off the beach, but without the frizz factor.” Try: Moroccanoil Frizz Control, $60 for 100ml. Apply in the morning and again at midday if needed. Redken Frizz Dismiss (from $33), which is sulphate-free, sodium-chloride-free and safe for chemically treated hair. L'Oréal Professionnel Tecni.Art Wild Stylers Beach Waves, $35, evenly combed…

Numerous supplements contain key nutrients designed to support your liver and boost detoxification. Patrick Holford suggests looking for ones that include the following: N-ACETYL CYSTEINE is a powerful antioxidant and a superb antitoxin. MILK THISTLE EXTRACT binds to toxins to remove them from your body and increases glutathione levels to help the toxins shift more easily. CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLE COMPOUNDS boost your intake of glucosinolates, enhancing the activity of several liver enzymes. METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE (MSM) is a sulphur compound widely known for liver support thanks to its ability to build new, healthy tissues. An extra bonus is that it’s implicated in younger-looking skin. ELLAGIC ACID is a detoxifying substance found in blackberries, cranberries, pecans, pomegranates, raspberries, strawberries and walnuts. DANDELION EXTRACT helps increase the flow of bile to break down fats. ALPHA-LIPOIC…

Pour the chocolate over the pudding so it oozes down the sides and looks super-tempting Winter bombe: Chocolate, cherries, vin santo, panettone & pistachios Get-ahead puddings are great. I make this frozen classic every year without fail. It looks amazing, is crazy delicious, and is a clever assembly job. It’s a sort of cross between a summer pud and an Arctic roll, and it’s sure to wow. 2 x 500g tubs of quality vanilla ice cream 1kg panettone 125ml Vin Santo 3 heaped Tbsp quality raspberry jam 100g tinned cherries, in juice 75g glacé clementines (or other glacé fruit) 1 clementine 50g shelled pistachios 300g quality dark chocolate (70%) 25g unsalted butter 1 Get the ice cream out of the freezer so it can soften a little while you get…

There’s a sense of rightness about the decisions you make. Stick to your guns SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 22 RELATIONSHIPS If you’re unattached and available – or just available – the weekend of the 10th-11th is made for excitement.

Sometimes it feels like a struggle to be both in your family and be yourself Every holiday season I look forward to family occasions, but every holiday season I also wish we were more like the Kerrigans. Darryl: How’s this boys! Woohoo. What do you call this? Sal: Chicken. Darryl: And it’s got something sprinkled on it. Sal: Seasoning. Darryl: Seasoning! Looks like everybody’s kicked a goal! The Kerrigan clan from the 1997 Australian film The Castle always seem to me the epitome of family perfection. They feel pride in their bedazzling ordinariness. In the Kerrigan family, it seems you can be appreciated for the great achievement of just being you. Darryl: Dale dug a hole. Tell ’em, Dale. Dale: I dug a hole. Of course, other people’s families always…

Q: If you have cream in one ear, and custard in the other, what are you? A: A trifle deaf. This joke sprung out of my father’s Christmas cracker one year and he’s been using it on December 25 ever since. I adore the festive season, cheesy traditions and all. Supermarkets can crank out the carols in July for all I care, because Christmas makes me happy. At every other time of year, I’ll run a mile from a busy shopping mall, but in December I’ll happily join the crush (assuming I manage to find a car park) so my boys can have their annual photo with Santa, complete with the gaudy red background. I love having this snapshot of my kids exactly a year older each time, from baby…

‘There was no switching off. Except for at the end of the day, when I might sit down with a glass of wine. I wasn’t doing anything for myself; I’d put on 5kg’ Jayne Rice’s mind was blank as she tried to remember the pin code that would open the front door of her home. It was a four-digit number she’d been using for the past year, but as hard as she tried, she couldn’t recall it. Her husband gently moved her aside and unlocked it for her. A NEW LOW It wasn’t the only thing Rice had forgotten that day. Discussions with colleagues in her recruitment team at the bank she worked at had left her bewildered; she’d responded to enquiries about candidates, previous conversations and new teammates with…

Once it took courage to dip your toe into digital dating; now it’s the norm. But have we become too casual? On Boxing Day 2013, Nicola’s husband of 18 years told her he no longer loved her and was seeing someone else. Within days he had left, and within months the family home was on the market. With her only daughter away at college, Nicola was reeling from the shock and frightened by the future. As she slowly picked up the pieces, what did her friends urge her to do? Get back out there and try online dating! “I was reluctant,” says Nicola, 47, an office manager. “But trying to fill all those empty weekends became unbearable. I hoped it would be a bit of fun, a positive step.” The…

The owners of this stylish home had a dated décor problem – and the solution was black and white. After two years of dedicated house hunting, Kylie and Brendan Richards were quick to act when they spotted this well-preserved villa an easy stroll from shops and cafés. “We were definitely looking for something with character, and this place had everything on our list – large living areas, high ceilings, marble fireplaces,” says Kylie. “But it also had the bonus of modern conveniences, such as an ensuite and built-in wardrobes.” The property was structurally sound but the 20-year-old décor needed a complete revamp. Before their signatures on the sale contract were dry, the couple had enlisted an interior designer who had recently transformed a friend’s home. With two children – Thomas,…

1 Not all mothers glow. Some do – some because they’re radiant and lovely; others because they’re hot and sweaty and running after kids all day. 2 You might like to think that once your kids start eating solids, you’ll only feed them free-range and organic foods free of pesticides or preservatives. The reality is, you’ll be giving them nuggets in no time. 3 There was a time when you didn’t know one nursery rhyme. Now you know the better part of 20! 4 You have friends without kids who were happy to hang out with you before, but who you don’t see any more. 5 You’ll never in your life feel more fulfilled and happy than when your kids crawl into bed with you in the morning,…

Many of the jobs at risk of technological automation in NZ are those that currently employ young people I grew up with a father who was an early adopter of technology, so we had some of the earliest personal computers at home. However, they held little interest for me. It was only after completing school, then following my passion for social justice, that I was drawn to the technology industry. But the world is different now. I spent much of my early professional life working for non-profit and humanitarian organisations in developing countries and here in New Zealand, and it was these experiences that demonstrated to me the enormous potential digital technology has to help solve the world’s most pressing problems. Now, as a relatively new parent, I often catch…

Living a life led by what matters to you closes the gap between busy and stressed and busy and happy. Once you figure out what your values are, you can get much more selective about what you choose to do – your values become like a blueprint for living. For many of the women Walder sees, these are the top four: • Family • Friends • Health • Adventure and freedom (learning; new experiences) Other values that might resonate with you: • Personal growth • Fun • Integrity • Independence • Love • Calm • Positivity • Passion • Courage / Strength • Community (being a part of something; feeling like you belong).…

Katie, 49, also turned to therapy after online dating. In her case, it wasn’t ‘rejection’ that damaged her but the soul-destroying dates themselves. “I met about five men,” says Katie, who works in the music industry. “Every single one talked about himself. I don’t remember being asked one question. “Each encounter left me more dispirited.Were these men my future? Was this the best I could hope for? I’d come home feeling like an older Bridget Jones – opening a bottle of wine and singing All By Myself.” It was the last date that did it.“I was in a dark pub, listening to yet another bloke telling me about his two failed marriages,” says Katie. “I felt I was giving free therapy when suddenly he said, ‘This is what’s missing from…

Abreast cancer diagnosis is often the start of an arduous journey that leaves many sufferers feeling worn down, beaten and at breaking point. Breast cancer charity Sweet Louise has been offering support to New Zealand families affected by incurable forms of the disease for more than a decade. Here, five members talk about how their lives have changed since their diagnosis, and how valuable the group’s support has been. ‘Never, never, never give up. Live life to the fullest, give it your best shot, then let it take its course’ Jo Bhagat Jo, 64, lives in Auckland with her husband and has a 26-year-old son. She has been a Sweet Louise member since June 2013. I was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer in 2008 and found out four years later…

1 Bold lips The quickest way to add colour to your complexion, a bold lip lightens and brightens the face. Ruby red is a perennial classic, or try this season’s favourite, pinky-coral. For longer-lasting colour, go for a matte formulation. When it comes to application, Clinique makeup artist Matin Maulawizada says, “Ensure lips are moisturised and soft. The first thing I always do, no matter the lipstick formula or texture, is to apply lip balm. Then I line the lips with a pencil or use a lip brush. When working with a matte lipstick, I like to deposit some of the lipstick onto my hand. I’ll then pout, press the lipstick onto the lips and work the pigment in really well, so it’s blended evenly. Then I use a concealer…

CORAL Coral is the colour of summer. It absolutely pops against (fake-) tanned skin but works with all skin tones. Try OPI in Down to the Core-al, $20, and Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color in Mandarin, $49. PINK For a sophisticated take on a pretty colour, choose a peachy pink lipstick and keep nails squoval (square-oval shaped). Try Revlon in 276 Vivacious, $16.50, and MAC Liptensity in Gumball, $50. BERRY Your favourite smoothie ingredients make for a beautiful burst of colour on nails and lips. Try OPI in Pamplona Purple, $20, and Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Ultra Lipstick in Violetini, $52. FUCHSIA Make that tan pop with a bright pink lip and fingertips. Aim for a blue-based fuchsia to avoid looking too girly. Try OPI in Kiss Me on My Tulips, $20,…

‘If keeping your fringe smooth over summer is an ongoing struggle, I’d suggest getting a keratin smoothing treatment’ How unfair is it that the very things we love about summer – hot sun, sea breezes, swimming – wreak havoc with our hair? Dryness, frizz and flyaways that just won’t be tamed are the bane of our mane, but this season, we’re fighting back with the help of a few expert tips and tricks. Dryness Avoid using heated styling tools too often in the warmer months – your hair will probably be parched as it is. Instead, whenever possible, apply a serum and allow your hair to air dry, embracing your natural wave. “Your hair loses moisture in summer, and it’s hard to gain it back once it’s gone,” explains hair…

‘Your liver can repair up to 75% of damaged tissue with newly rendered cells then stop once it is functioning normally’ There’s nothing like a glass of cold bubbly to kick off a party. Enjoying a tipple or two is all part of the festive fun, and the key is to maintain that vital balance between treating yourself now and again and healthy living. Fatty foods and alcohol can make your liver work harder than usual, but thankfully it’s easy to keep it functioning optimally. It was Roman anatomist Claudius Galenus who gave the liver important status; he stated it was the principal organ of the human body because it was responsible for many of the body’s vital functions that allow us to live. The liver, your largest organ, is…

HOT OFF THE PRESS Hag-Seed, Margaret Atwood, Hogarth, $37 In this modern re-telling of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Atwood weaves her story of revenge around Felix, who is unceremoniously dumped from his job as artistic director for a theatre company. His chance to get his own back comes when he is hired to teach theatre to a motley bunch of prisoners who find themselves taking part in a version of… you guessed it… The Tempest! Holding, Graham Norton Hachette , $38 A sleepy Irish village becomes much less soporific when human remains are dug up. Suddenly, proverbial skeletons are falling out of closets all over town. We’re more used to seeing chat show host Graham Norton with his all-powerful hand on the lever of the red chair, but…
