Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
An innovative, homegrown self-tanning brand, The Tan Lab hails from sunny Durban. Aside from being Eco-Certified and vegan friendly, it’s main plus point is the fact it makes use of DHA* (the main ingredient in 99% of self-tanners on the shelf) as well as Erythrulose. When used to together, DHA and Erythrulose are a self-tan dream […]
Read MoreA while back I mentioned that The Foschini Group was getting with the programme and had set up online shopping on their @Home website as well as hi, a techy retailer. This was announced at a launch where I got to take in a ‘tech talk’ by Aki Anistasiou, the host of Technobyte, a tech […]

Read MoreThe moment I drop kicked my embarrassing BlackBerry, I got sucked into the cult of Apple – a white, shiny space where everything’s oh so easy and expensive and when you do occasionally pop your head out of the sand it’s to cast a side eye at a friend who’s using something other than the […]
Read MoreA little while back I was given a press drop for Four Cousin’s Fiver wine coolers. While I’ll never say no to free booze, I wasn’t especially excited about it as I’m A) an ungrateful, hard-to-please bitch and B) not really a wine cooler kind of girl. But it had been a long, hard day […]
Read MoreAh, good ole River Island. I was a big fan back in the day when I used to live in London, doing a gap year between high school and advertising college. While I was always too broke to buy much, I’d lurk around the store on Oxford street, lovingly stroking all the shoes and bags […]
Read MoreRight! The time has come to show off the results of my final Edgars shopping spree and offer you to the chance to win one too. So let’s kick things off with this mooi Lipsy maxi dress. At R1 099, it pretty much sucked up half my ‘spree budget’ but I felt it was totally […]
Read MoreIt’s been a bad two weeks, yo! Well, for technical stuff, anyway. As you all know, I almost destroyed my camera among other things at the Calvin Klein launch and have been without an ADSL line at home now for ages*. (As I type, I’m resentfully working in a Jamaican-themed restaurant up the road from […]
Read MoreLast week I attended the official opening of the Calvin Klein store in the V&A Waterfront. A regte celeb-studded affair, things got pretty crowded so I didn’t manage to snap too many clothing piccies but we’re talking Calvin Klein here, darlings. You can rest assured that everything is gorgeous in that typical Ck understated fashion. […]
Read MoreLast week YSL were kind enough to jet myself and a few other beauties up to Jozi to attend the SA Style Awards at Hyde Park, of which they’re a sponsor. Prior to the fashion gongs being handed out, guests got to watch a very special YSL-themed fashion show in which seven local designers got […]
Read MoreScrew an intro, let’s jump right in! The Foschini Group’s getting online, yo! Okay, okay, so many of their stores, like Foschini itself, have always had a website, but now you’re going to be able to actually shop them. To start, @home and a tech store I’d never heard of before called Hi are both […]
Read MoreThis Christmas Clicks are running a purple sticker promo that essentially works like this: Buy any three items with a purple present sticker on it and the third one is free!
