So 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. […]

I’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. For women who aren’t wild about their tummies, they’re a nice alternative to a teensy li’l thong. And Taylor Swift has a polka dot […]

Kadus 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 […]

I took a little road trip out of town the other day to attend the wedding of two friends in Nature’s Valley which is just outside of Plett; a cool six hour drive from Cape Town. .. 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 – […]

Because 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: .. My favourite item in the box has to be these cute bedazzled cut offs: I’d slap ’em on and take a pic […]

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 […]

I’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 […]

Due 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. Looky, looky… This ridiculously beautiful spot was where Coverderm held a product launch and spoiled us (disgustingly […]

Everyone knows what a Louis Ghost is, right? For those who don’t, it’s Philippe Starck’s gorgeous retake on a classic Louis XV-style chair for Italian furniture designers Kartell. I’ve always thought they make a great dining room chair in either minimalistic mostly white apartments or teamed up with more rustic-looking shizz like this farm house-style table: […]
