WIN: 3 Wedgwood Gio and Gio Gold tableware sets to give away

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 01:00:00 +0000

Along with balmier weather and longer sunlight hours (thank you daylight savings), the silly season is finally upon us. And it’s not known as ‘entertaining season’ for nothing, as the coming months are often packed with end-of-year dinners, summer soirees and festive affairs.

To take the stress out of hosting, it helps to have a go-to table setting that will elevate your dining style, whatever the occasion. A beautifully dressed table can set the scene, raise the mood, and take your setup from simple to sophisticated.

The secret lies in layering to create visual interest. To keep the look stylish and uncluttered, choose a consistent tonal palette or select pieces from a specific collection. This year, we have our eyes on Wedgwood Gio and Gio Gold tableware.

White and gold

To start, the Gio 16 Piece Set is the perfect blank canvas for you to showcase your culinary courses. The tableware’s elegant simplicity — in both form and colour — allows your dishes to take centre stage, with each place setting becoming a work of art (and in turn, every table a mini-masterpiece).

Pair this classic set with Wedgwood’s Gio Gold range. The innovative gold pattern makes a Gio Gold 4 Piece Setting a luxurious addition to any tabletop, comprising a dinner plate, side plate, cereal bowl and mug. The subtle gold rimming on each piece makes a decadent statement.

Whatever the occasion…

Whether you’re throwing a glamorous cocktail party or hosting high tea for friends, this collection can be combined with an array of features to work for any entertaining style. Go big and bold with bright patterns and tall taper candles, or evoke a formal atmosphere with crisp cotton tablecloths and napkins.

On the other hand, crushed linen tablecloths and feminine florals create a more relaxed look, while still capturing the sophistication that has long been synonymous with Wedgwood tableware.

Get the look

If you’ve picked up the latest issue of Real Living, you’ve no doubt already seen the beautiful Wedgwood tablescape featured within our ‘About Last Night’ photoshoot (pictured above). Now, we’re giving you the chance to win the look.

Three readers will win their own Wedgwood pack valued at up to $1047 each. Each pack includes 1 x Gio 16 Piece Set and 2 x Gio Gold 4 Piece Sets. To win, tell us in 25 words or less how a Wedgwood setting will elevate your style this entertaining season.

Brought to you by Wedgwood.

How to take a photo like a pro

Daylight: Take pictures in daylight. Natural light will make your photos clearer than artificial light and will add warmth and mood.

Angles: Try capturing a few different angles to see how the room photographs best. Take pulled-back room shots and close-up details. You might have to take 20 shots to get one good one.

Do you look like your pet? Amazon is looking for Australia’s best ‘doggelganger’

Tue, 21 Jul 2020 00:57:41 +0000

To celebrate the launch of Pet Profiles, Amazon Australia has partnered with pet-lover and media personality Georgia Love to find the face of Amazon Pet Profiles.

The competition is set to find the pet and paw-rent duo that look the most alike, with the winning pet receiving a $1,000 Amazon gift card, a professional photo shoot to improve on their existing Pet Profile and their moment in the spotlight, with the photos appearing on Amazon.com.au and the pet crowned the face of Amazon Pets Profiles.

“It’s an age old joke that pets tend to resemble their owners, much to the delight of those around them, so I am looking forward to seeing all the competition entries and crowning Australia’s best ‘doggelganger’!,” says Georgia Love.

“If your pooch looks just like you, or if you know someone whose fur baby looks just like them, be sure to enter yourself and let your mate know about the competition. If I wasn’t a judge, I think I would be in with a chance of winning since I’ve been told that my cat Pawdrey Hepburn looks just like me!”

Georgia Love with her cat Pawdrey Hepburn.

Owners of cats, dogs, horses, goats, pigs, fish, guinea pigs, reptiles, birds and everything in between can enter the competition on Instagram by posting their best look-alike pet and paw-rent doppelganger pictures using #AmazonPetsAU. To be in with a chance of winning, owners also need to have created an Amazon Pet Profile. The competition is open until 23:59 AEST Wednesday, 29th July 2020, when Georgia Love will choose the winner.

Win a Westinghouse French Door Fridge valued at $2199

Tue, 17 Sep 2019 03:00:00 +0000

Like the dishwasher, everyone has their own opinion about how to stack the fridge. Whether it’s the frustrating family member who puts the empty carton of milk back in the fridge door or, the colleague who leaves their leftovers sitting in the work fridge for way too long, fridge storage can be a divisive subject that causes friction in many homes and offices.

While there is no right or wrong way to stack and organise your fridge, where you store certain foods items can affect their shelf life and quality, not to mention the efficiency and cleanliness of your fridge. It can also say a lot about your personality.

Westinghouse has teamed up with leading nutritionist, Dr. Joanna McMillan, and lifestyle psychologist, Martha Tsakalos, to create the Australian Fridge Stacking Personality Guide – based on four key personality styles and filled with anecdotes and tips to help you organise your fridge.

This Westinghouse 524L Dark Stainless Steel French Door Fridge makes it easy to stay organised.

“The way you stack your fridge says a lot about your personality and approach to food, cooking and life. For example, if your fridge is extremely organised and ordered with nothing out of place, you’re likely to be a type A. However, if you’re more of a creative or a foodie, there will be less organisation but a more diverse range of foods and flavours,” says Tsakalos.

“Understanding how your personality impacts your relationship with food is really interesting. I’m definitely a cross between the conscious + committed and the creative! But regardless of which fridge stacking profile you identify with, having a well-stocked fridge is the foundation to making healthy eating easier, minimising food waste and sticking to your budget,” says McMillan.

For a chance to win a Westinghouse Dark Stainless Steel French Door Fridge, valued at $2199, read through the personality guide below and tell us in 25 words or less, What’s your fridge stacking style and why?

AND THE WINNER IS…

P. Clements

Parkesbourne NSW

Australian Fridge Stacking Personality Guide

The Conscious + Committed

Your fridge: Your fridge is always well-stocked and well-organised with a variety of different healthy foods. You know exactly where to keep fruits and vegetables (possibly arranged by colour) and dairy for optimal freshness. You’ll also find bottles of kombucha, plant-based milks, jars of sauerkraut and kimchi which are neatly stacked by expiry date. There are nut meals and fresh nuts in fridge or freezer for those mean bliss balls you make, and you won’t find Tim Tams in your fridge, but there is a block of dark 70% cocoa chocolate in the door. There’s also fresh pet food – no dried kibble for these family members!

The People-Pleaser

Your fridge: Your fridge is organised chaos, well-stocked and well-lived in. On hand is a homemade lasagne, bags of salad, garlic bread and a ready-to-bake-pizza for easy mid-week meals. You can whip up a cheese platter in seconds, and there is a selection of store-bought dips to serve with chips and drinks in case of last-minute entertaining. Your freezer is also stocked with ice cream, frozen wontons, party pies, frozen pizza, chicken nuggets and oven chips – you’re always ready to host a get together be it footy finals or romcom reruns!

The Socialite

Your fridge: You don’t spend much time or energy on your fridge, it’s empty and unloved. Convenience foods such as BBQ chicken, instant rice and microwave-steam packet vegetables or frozen meals are staples. You have a beer or two on hand, as well as a bottle of champagne, white or rose wine that you’re chilling to take to a friend’s house (probably a People-Pleaser!). There’s also milk chocolate, coffee shots and energy drinks for a pick-me-up – and there could even be a face mask or beauty treatment chilling as well!

The Creative

What’s in your fridge: You have a well-stocked, well-lived-in, generally healthy, balanced fridge – which can be a bit cluttered at times. You’re creative in the kitchen and cook from scratch. Your fridge is full of flavoursome and unique condiments such as truffle cheese, olive tapenade, capers, homemade chutneys, dill pickles and cultured butter. You also have game meats, spatchcock, gourmet butcher cuts of meats. You have loads of fresh herbs micro-vegies and edible flowers. As well as tonic water for G&Ts and champagne (not sparkling) for entertaining.

Angus is completing a Masters in Fine Arts at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) in Melbourne. The 24-year-old Adelaide native won the first prize of $10,000 for his self-portrait, Sleepwalker. After travelling for a while, he moved to Melbourne to study at VCA. “I mainly like figuration and am very interested in figurative painters,” says Angus. “I love Egon Schiele and a lot of other Austrian artists. Sleepwalker came about through my experimentation with surface. I wanted to keep a bit of ambiguity and vulnerability but really leave the interpretation up to the viewer. I used offcuts and ripped denim found at the Salvos and loosely used my own figure as a reference to create that sense of intimacy.”

Joshua Charadia – second place, ArtStart 2018

Joshua is a graduate of the National Art School, Sydney, and won second prize of $5000 for his untitled work. “Like all artists, I was interested in art from a very young age, always drawing and painting all through school. I was really excited and keen to follow it up,” says 21-year-old Joshua. “I studied at the National Art School with a series of fantastic teachers who really shifted the way I look at things and my approach to art making. It gave me a lot of energy in terms of making art a career. This particular work is part of a broader series where I paint shipping containers and terminals from photos taken from the train and a moving car.”

Alessandra is a graduate of the National Art School, Sydney, and was awarded third prize of $2500 for her work, Ellery Creek. “I’ve just finished at the National Art School and am starting up my own practice,” says Alessandra, aged 23. “I looked at a lot of the female expressionists and contemporary Australian painters. It was really important to me to look at female painters in the contemporary art world and that was a big influence. I’m at a crossroads – everyone wants you to define yourself as either figurative or abstract. With this painting I thought about the space and tried to reinterpret it. I usually work from sketches. I find more energy and expression and translating that into a painting can be quite an interesting process. You’re not referring to something real; you’re referring to a memory and all sorts of things.”
