Gorgeous new bags at Nine West (South Africa)

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 […]

A few of my favourite things courtesy of Ruby Box

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 […]

Original Cocktails get the party started

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 […]

G-Star Raw now has a sexy new range of ladies slim fit jeans

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 […]

Belvedere vodka’s end of year bash at Orphanage

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 […]

The Little Black Book’s super exclusive HUGO BOSS party; the event of the year for sure

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?

Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour foundation review

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 […]

Glam Christmas beauty gift ideas; the 2012 edition

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 […]

GUESS summer fashion show at Bungalow in Camps Bay

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 […]

Sunglass Hut’s Cape Town Out the Box party; a killer good time

Last week I nipped into Sunglass Hut’s Out The Box party held in a tent on a wharfhead in the V&A Waterfront. The bash was put together by Press Room to celebrate the brand’s new ‘pop up shop’ concept; a mobile Sunglass Hut container stocked to the brim with limited edition sunnies travel around South Africa so you can snap them up […]
