We're moving up there on Monday. I'm staying for a day and then I'll be coming back [to Sydney],' Anna added. 'We wanted a bit of a change. We don't know how long we'll be there. We're still going to keep our place here [in Sydney]. 'So we will be back and forth a lot for work. We just thought it would be really nice to get away from Sydney winter for a little bit. 'My business partner lives up there too. I've never lived overseas. We've never done anything like this as a family, or even individually.' The Mondrian residences are described as 'coastal luxury' with restaurants, bars and a pool club sitting on the ground floor on the shore of Burleigh Heads. Spa and wellness treatments are also offered on site and all properties have a stunning view of Burleigh Beach. As for her daughters, Anna said Elle is at an age where she is beginning to make friends so is 'a little bit sad' to be moving away from Sydney. 'I think [Elle's] a little bit sad going to the Gold Coast because she won't be able to see her friends,' she said. Spa and wellness treatments are also offered on site and all properties have a stunning view of Burleigh Beach 'They're starting to get to that age where they're making good friends and they don't want to leave them. 'But I know she'll make a lot of good friends while on the Gold Coast... She's great at making friends.' Anna added that Elle will officially be in primary school next year, which the influencer feels 'nervous' about but says she knows her daughter will 'thrive'. As for Anna's husband Tim, 42, who she married in 2018, he will be handling the initial set-up of the move. The blonde beauty will only get to spend one day on the Gold Coast after they move in before she has to fly back to Sydney for work. She will be attending a Huggies activation event at Westfield Bondi Junction, which will start next Wednesday on June 11 from 9am. Anna has been an ambassador for the nappy brand for four years, and is currently promoting the company's latest 'hero range' Huggies SkinProtect Nappies. Huggies, in collaboration with Hello Skin, has produced 'cheeky' limited edition Bum Masks for parents and will celebrate with an immersive pop-up at Bondi Junction. Anna and pediatric skincare expert Dr Deshan Sebaratnam will be in attendance at the four-day event as they invite parents along for the free experience. Thousands of visitors can receive skincare tips from Dr Deshan, take part in fun family photo moments and enjoy free pastries and babycinos. They will also be treated to take home samples of the new Huggies range and the limited edition Huggies Bum Mask. 'It's cheeky, pun intended,' Anna joked, adding the Bum Mask is a 'tongue-in-cheek' way of Huggies saying they'll 'look after parents' as well as their babies. 'I actually tried it,' she laughed, when asked if she had sampled the product which she describes is a 'face mask for your bottom'. 'Nobody was home. You have to lie on your stomach. You can either get someone to help or you can put it on yourself. It is quite relaxing,' she said.

Mondrian Sells for $47.6 Million
A grid-like painting featuring a patchwork of red, yellow and blue squares by Dutch modernist Piet Mondrian sold for $47.6 million on Monday. The sale kicked off a weeklong series of New York auctions that will test the art market's mettle amid unpredictable economic conditions and tariffs on everything from wine and watches to luxury goods like collectible handbags. The 1922 work, 'Composition with Large Red Plane, Bluish Gray, Yellow, Black and Blue,' was expected by Christie's to sell for between $40 million and $50 million, but only one bidder emerged and it sold quickly for $41 million, or $47.6 million with the auction house's fees.

Controversial new five-star Gold Coast hotel set to open
The much anticipated Mondrian Gold Coast is finally about to open – two years after its target date. But anticipation can be a double-edged sword: there's excitement at the arrival of a new five-star hotel that marks the entry of a prestige hospitality brand into not just the Queensland market, but Australia's. And then there's trepidation from locals, who have expressed their concern over the development that the hotel inhabits, a harbinger of the high-rise change happening in Burleigh Heads. Mondrian Gold Coast is half of a two-tower development that rises to 25 storeys – the other half being a luxury residential apartment complex. It takes up 80 metres of Burleigh beachfront formerly occupied by three older-style unit blocks. The 'points of difference' Mondrian Gold Coast offers include 208 rooms claimed to be twice the size of the average hotel room in Australia, alongside 132 studios, 76 suites, private beach houses, and the 'Sky House' presidential suite. The hotel will feature an all-day Italian restaurant, a lobby bar, seafood restaurant, and pool club overlooking Burleigh Beach. Of course, there's also the Mondrian name. Now managed by Ennismore, a subsidiary of the giant Accor hotel and resort group, its legacy is pure rock 'n roll. In 1985, a nine-storey 1950s apartment complex on West Hollywood's Sunset Strip was converted to a hotel, and the legend was born.
