The hype is building
around Model 3, set
for release in Australia
in 2018. While many say
it’s the “next version” of
a Tesla, CEO Elon Musk
set the record straight,
Tweeting: “Model 3 is
just a smaller, more
ě
Model S with less range
and power and fewer
features.” So while
Model 3 is predicted
to be around half the
price of the S (which,
incidentally, has been
the world’s bestselling
plug-in car for two
yearsrunning), if
you like your cars tried
and tested, it’s a case
of the original is often
the best.

to make you see the
value in carting one
around on weekends
and holidays again, it’s
the ultra-luxe Olympus
PEN-F. On the outside,
it’s got all the charm
Ȭę
camera, but no expense
has been spared in its
creation – so while
people who know
their way around things
like ISO and aperture
priority will get their
kicks, the auto mode
is just as good.

membership
It’s the uber-exclusive
funhouse that’s harder to
get into than a pair of
one-size-too-small
Louboutins. Billed as
a private members’ club
for creatives, Soho House
has 18 outposts around
the world, all brimming
with fabulous people
from the film, fashion
and art industries who
laze happily around
the rooftop pools and
in-housebars knowing
they’re Instagram-free
zones. Membership
costs a few thousand
a year, but there’s a lot
more to it than just
handing over your
credit card – with
a focus on creativity
rather than wealth, even
Kim Kardashian has
struggled to get in.

There are two things
to consider when
investing in beauty
products: time and
proximity – as in,
what gets the closest
to naked skin and what
hangs out there for
the longest. That’s
why serums are the
heavy-hitters of the
skincare world. While
creams sit on top of the
skin, creating a barrier
and locking in hydration,
the micro molecules
found in serums are
small enough to
penetrate deeper and
deliver potent doses
of active ingredients
into the epidermis
where they can make
a real difference. Look
for ingredients like
all-rounder antioxidants,
plumping hyaluronic
acid, refining AHAs and
BHAs, brightening
vitamin C and wrinkle-
smoothing retinol.
