THE COOLEST THING...
Spa-style luxury in the comfort of
your own home, Mila Moursi’s Cryo
Serum Ice Cube Infusion helps combat
puf ness and dehydration. Essentially,
they’re small cubes of skin serum that
you apply from the freezer, and one of
the few times when a cosmetically ‘frozen
face’ is a good thing. meccabeauty.co.nz10

THE DAD-CCESSORIES... Whether
you call it a belt bag, bum bag, waist pack or
fanny pack, last year’s most divisive fashion
accessory was spotted all over the international
runways, with Alexander Wang, Chanel and Marc
Jacobs all trotting out high-end versions. And
you’ll never guess which retro throwback you
thought would never make a comeback
is next in line for a sartorial reboot- the mobile phone holster!
Mind you, who’d have
thought scrunchies
would make a return?

THE SCULPTOR... At 44, Auckland business owner
Shona Lyon had a career-changing epiphany while visiting
Chartres Cathedral in France. Marvelling at the beautiful
sculptures around her, she realised what she really wanted to be was
a sculptor. Twelve years on, the woman who was once told by her high
school art teacher that her work wasn’t “up to scratch”, has unveiled
her newest bronze collection, entitled Nostalgia, 12.5% of the
proceeds of which will help to improve the life of children
growing up in poverty through KidsCan. shonalyon.com8
THE FILM... When Donna Tartt’s
Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The
G o l d n c h was released in 2013,

it to the big screen as a lm

Ansel Elgort and Luke
Wilson. It follows a boy called
Theo Decker, who’s taken in by a wealthy New York
family after his mother is killed in a bombing at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art. During the terrorist attack, the dazed
13-year-old spirits out of the wreckage a famous painting called The
G o l d n c h, a decision that will have repercussions for the majority of
his life. In cinemas from September 26.6
