Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Last week I hit up the Red Carpet Fashion Show held at The Lookout by the V&A with my hot date, swimsuit model Brigitte Willers. Clearly I’m a total masochist ‘cos this meant being photographed side by side while wearing lots of super forgiving, always flattering white, as per the evening’s ‘nautical’ dress code. The show, which helped raise […]
Read MoreA little while back I was invited to go on a Weaver. It’s pretty much a blind date where you get to bring two of your girlfriends (Weaver calls them ‘wingwomen’) and meet up with three boys. Weaver, however, are quick to insist it’s not a ‘date’ and merely a fun way to meet new […]
Read MoreIf you live in Cape Town and haven’t been to Madame Zingara’s Theatre of Dreams you need to make a plan. Aside from an amazing four-course dinner, you’re also treated to an awe-inducing show featuring contortionists, tumblers, aerial artists and lots of quirky cabaret. In a bid to sprinkle a bit of glitter across all […]
Read MoreAfter a very long wait, Korres cosmetics and skin care products are now finally available in South Africa via selected Edgars stores. For those who aren’t familiar with the brand, it hails from Greece and prides itself on using natural ingredients and eco-friendly packaging. I was given a few items from the Wild Rose line which is […]
Read MoreLast week I popped into the launch of Magnum Pink and Black, the ice cream brand’s delish new limited edition summer flavours. Held at Shimmy Beach Club, the event was packed with an array of media and celebs and guests were treated to both a nail bar and an open bar. Oh hello there, darlings! […]
Read MoreLast week, I was invited along with a small group of bloggers to indulge in an exciting new canapé and wine pairing out at Beau Constantia. It was my first visit to the fairly new boutique wine farm and it totally blew me away. As it’s high up in the hills of Constantia, it overlooks […]
Read MoreIf you’re a fan of my blog that happens to be Mexican, chances are you’ll know it was Dia de Muertos – The Day of the Dead – just the other day. Despite sounding a bit bleak, it’s actually a celebratory day to honour your loved ones who’ve passed. To celebrate, Hendrick’s Gin’s PR peeps sent me […]
Read MoreI don’t ask for a lot when it comes to deodorant. I just want something that’s going to keep me dry and fresh (the nice way of saying ‘stop me from sweating like a donkey and smelling like ass’) while not ruining my clothes. Regarding the latter, if whatever I’m using makes white marks on any […]
Read MoreHow gorgeous is Forever New’s new High Society collection? I popped into the collection’s launch held at the V&A Waterfront store last week and could immediately feel my credit card begin to twitch in my wallet. It wasn’t allowed to come out and play, however, as I’ve recently experienced a super weird, unrelenting series of […]

Especially since this year’s designer line up is hot, hot, hot. Expect fresh summer fashion from Kluk CGDT, Craig Port, MilQ & Honey, Jagadi Haute Couture and sexy swimwear brand BeachCult. […]
Read MoreOkay, so I’ve totally missed the Halloween boat but I only whipped this up last night. My friend Max threw a pre-wedding meet and greet dinner and, as it was Halloween, she asked that we come dressed with ‘a touch of scary’ but we all know I don’t do shizz by halves. Thus, I give […]
Read MoreThe sweet peeps at Two Oceans wines sent me two pakkies of booze this month; the first being two bottlejies of their ‘classic’ fare along with a duo of flatbreads. Alas, I don’t have a shot of the flatbreads to show you as I ripped the package open the moment it arrived and ate it […]
