Feel like a scenic Sunday drive? Want to end up somewhere super pretty and eat seriously good food paired with lovely wine and not end up with a hole in your pocket? Call The Red Table at Nederburg Estate in Paarl right now. Don’t think, just do it. I drove out there the other day for a lunch darling […]

Christmas came early for Lipglossgirl in the form of a cute new Nine West Quilty As Charged shopper (R799). I actually popped into their store the other day as I was looking for a new wallet and was impressed with how many lovely bags they have right now. Above is the chain bag version of my […]

Oh looky looky, I got a little lovin’ from the Ruby Box girls: I’m listed as ‘a fan of The Little Mermaid’ which sounds a bit random out of context but I guess I deserve that. I was drowning in mag deadlines when the Rubies got hold of me and told them I was too busy […]

The sweet peeps at Original Cocktails sent myself, Clouds and Karisa a nice selection of their ready mixed cocktails in a box. (We were quick to coin the term ‘boxtails’.) They also gave us a few individual cocktail sachets (sold in boxes of six) so we kind of threw everything together to host a little cocktail party. .. Our cocktail collection included the […]

Spotted the Jan issue of Cosmopolitan on the shelves yet? It includes their Sexiest SA Men Calendar 2013 in association with Brutal Fruit. After purveying their 12 chosen hotties, you’ll get to vote for the boy you deem the hottest. While the line up consists of a delish-looking mix of sportsman, models and TV personalities, I know exactly who gets […]

The other day I was invited to pop into a little Global Women’s Day celebration at G-Star Raw in the V&A to check out their new ladies denim collection. (For those who aren’t familiar with the brand, G-Star Raw is kind of like the Dutch Diesel in that they specialise in super sexy denim.) Liv […]

When you want the best vodka money can buy, everyone knows you’re to ask for Belvedere. (I mean, it’s produced and distilled by LVMH*, for God’s sake.) Thus, it makes sense that, upon deciding to throw an exclusive end of year bash, that they’d pick Orphanage, Cape Town’s specialist cocktail club, to host it. Because […]

For the past couple of years now, the annual HUGO BOSS Spring/Summer fashion preview has been one of the highlights of the Cape Town social calender. Remember 2011’s awesome mansion bash? This is the party you schedule your Botox appointment around, girls. The fabulosity is intense and the guest list is tight. It’s always well attended by everyone […]

Rimmel’s got a new foundation on the shelves: While it’s not my favourite long-wearing foundation, it’s still a good one and yes, it does last for ages. Up to 25 hours? I’m not sure. I’m not a Bar One chomping fireman. Still, it’s very well behaved in that it really does stay put, from sun up til […]

I have created so many bloody ‘awesome Christmas gift idea’ articles and supplements for various mags in the last few months that, now that Christmas is finally on our doorstep I’m feeling decidedly grinchy. In fact, I spent most of this avie on Travel Start as I’m this close to jumping on a plane to Koh Samui. My […]
