Read my post on Sunglass Hut’s Out The Box party? After that, I decided to nip into the back end of a GUESS launch held at Bungalow in Camps Bay. By this stage the wind was absolutely pumping and I pretty much had to leopard crawl my way into the event. Still, I got there just in time to catch a bit of the show and nab a few shots. They didn’t turn out great tho; half of them had a piece of my hair flying into the frame.

Still, I did manage to nick a few decent shots:

After the show Ard Matthews jumped on stage and treated guests to a li’l performance.

Fab fashion, hot models and stellar live acts aside, the GUESS bash had yet another thing going for it; seriously good food! I was especially taken with these uber delish li’l mini burgers they were serving on planks. I tried to take a shot but model boy here photobombed my snap:

Oooh! There were also these amazing little GUESS-branded red velvet cake pops floating around and I initially struggled to find them. Fortunately, I spotted a half eaten one lying next to the DJ booth.

I immediately snapped it up and stuffed it into my mouth much to the horror of my fashion friends. It was totes worth it though. So much so that when a piece of it broke off and fell on the floor I nearly made a lunge for it but stopped myself at the last second (but only ‘cos I was standing next to Arno Carstens.)

Anyway, after a bit of a schimgle, I braved the gale force winds once more to get my car, hugging my very spoilicious Guess goodie bag nice and tight. It included a pair of GUESS sunnies and the brand’s new scent, Guess Seductive Sunkissed.

While I haven’t sniffed the original GUESS Seductive, Sunkissed is supposed to be a lighter, more summery version with notes that include grapefruit, raspberry, black currant blossom, jasmine, vanilla and woody musk. To me it’s a nice easy-to-wear fresh floral with a very definite juicy raspberry top note that makes it remind me just a little bit of Givenchy’s Hot Couture. A lovely ‘lunch with the girls’ type of scent.

Anyway, here’s a big thanks to GUESS and the PR girls at KL PR & Events for a lovely, well put together event that totally rocked despite the not so fabulous weather.
