Yesterday evening Karisa and I popped into Scalini’s exclusive l’il roof top soiree…

The bash was held to celebrate the arrival of their new summer stock which often comes in a bit late as the owners, Sasha Aleksic and Preeti Kapoor, get their pieces in the moment they’re available in Europe. (This way you can be assured you’re getting the freshest designer fashion around; no crappy last season stock like that of pretty much every designer shop in the Waterfront…)

Right now, they’re most excited about their hot new Melissa Odabash bikinis and were showing them off in their window via uber-bronzed real live models…

They reckon bright, bold colours like turquoise and coral are still big, big news, so if you’re going to splash out on just one high fashion piece this summer, make it something colourwonderful… like this gorgeous little Pennyblack dress:

Karisa was quite taken with this simple charcoal number:

The boutique’s other highlights include gorgeous shoes from designers like Sergio Rossi and Fratelli Rossetti…

…designer jewellery…
…and lots more gorgeous, colourful clothing…

Fairlady’s fashion ed Chu with the mags marketing manager Roxanne Cloete with celeb oral hygienest Emma King.

…K and I hit the road. I’d cleverly burned the shizz out of my leg with my curling iron – again – (this time because I crawled over it to answer my phone) and it had started to throb like crazy. Seriously. I could like totally feel my flippen’ heartbeat in my thigh! Chu cleverly suggested I try slathering it with Creme de la Mer when I got home… it was, after all, developed by that crazy scientist dude to treat burns, right?

Thanks Marina (she’s the PR queen who put the bash together), you always throw a good one. I’m also thrilled that you introducd me to this dude: 

Love, love
