Read MoreRead 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 […]
Read MoreLast week I nipped into Sunglass Hut’s Out The Box party held in a tent on a wharfhead in the V&A Waterfront.

Read MoreSo the other day I attended a Zando launch where I got to learn about some of the new brands they’ve got coming in. (Big names include x, x and x). Afterwards, they gave each guest a R300 gift voucher to blow in their online store and I picked out this cute black Zoom handsakkie. […]
Read MoreI’m quite enjoying working with these fashion folk; just look at this pretty lingerie set lovely Benita from Triumph sent me: Vintage-looking high-waisted bottom shapers are tres en vogue right now, darlings.

Read MoreKadus Professional is a German hair care range that’s relatively new to SA and now available at selected salons. I was given their Color Radiance shampoo and Intensive hair mask to play with. What makes this line interesting is that it contains ‘negative ions’ (Kadus refers to them as Radialux Micro-Ions). Figuring out what that actually meant was a bit tricky […]

Above is a cute little vid my friend Toolz took on the bus. I’ve just googled him to make sure I spell his name right – […]
Read MoreBecause they love me and wants me to be happy (or possibly because I’ve recently started working as the fashion editor for All4Women), Woolworths sent sent me a box of hot summer fashion staples: ..

Over canapes and Earl Grey, I got to chat to Sian Sutherland, one of the founders of Mama Mio skin care, and learn more about the brand’s philosophy which is […]
Read MoreI’ve never been a James Bond fan. The films I’ve seen in the past were, in a word, boring. Skyfall, however, is ridiculously, fabulously good. Seriously. Like, don’t ask any questions, okay? Just trust me and book your bloody ticket. Skyfall is not your typical mindless skop, skiet and donner. It’s slick, sexy, witty and […]
Read MoreClicks has a whole host of exciting new beauty goodies that are either new on shelf or just about to drop. They sent me a box of them the other day and, having played around with the lot, thought I’d tell you about my favourites. First up, I’m very excited that fab self-tan brand St […]
Read MoreDue to the amount of launches I go to, I’m lucky enough to spend time in all sorts of pretty places. One of the nicest I’ve been to in ages, however, has to be the Tintswalo Atlantic in Hout Bay.
