Like many of you I am sure, I’ve got a thing for beautiful jewellery! I love a special statement piece that I can just wear and it instantly makes me feel special. Like this Larimar Open Forms Bracelet – isn’t it just incredible?

I’m not a huge Pizza fan, but this weekend I was converted when the hubz and I headed out to Braamfontien (again – man I love that place) and discovered the best pizza in town! 86 Public is a seriously cool pizza joint in the heart of Jozi! With a pizza selection and cocktails worthy of praise, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a Saturday in the city! And, they even have a live DJ adding to their cool and hip vibe. With such striking surroundings, and a happy belly, who could resist doing a little OOTD… I picked up this cute graphic tee at Edgars the other day, and I had to have it! I mean, who doesn’t believe in the Selfie? And since we were planning on walking the streets of Jozi, I thought I’d break out my new panama hat. If you ever find yourself in Jozi, make sure you stop past 86 Public for a pizza and cocktails! I highly recommend the Bacon, Fig, Leek and Feta Pizza (doesn’t that sound amazing?) and their Chocolate, Marscapone, Pineapple, Pear, Banana and Strawberry Pizza, was deee-lish! Pizza and Chocolate – who would have thought?! Oh, and their Gin…

This past week I’ve gone bonkers for blue. The last two days, I’ve been playing with blue nail colour in navy and oceanic shades, and today’ I’m featuring blue palettes for the eyes! The palette Feeling blue yet? Top on my list is Estee Lauder’s Double Wear Stay in Place Shadow Cream in “Blue Velvet”. The colour contrasts gorgeously with my hazel/ green eyes and because it’s a cream shadow you can expect it to last all day – and it does! I’ve recently discovered Clarins mascara and their Wonder Perfect Mascara in blue is magnificent. I even use it with other eye shadow colours and it gives my lashes great definition. Pair this with the shadow above and pencil below and you’re set! For an all blue effect, the Artist’s Eye Pencil from Estee Lauder in Blue Iris is a must! It needs only a light stroke for intense navy blue colour. So you don’t have to worry about pressing too hard on your lids. The smudge brush on the other end is also cool for blending quickly and easily. For a slightly different, wilder shade of blue I kind-a-like this colour from Rimmel Glam Eyes called “Posh Peacock”.…

Glam rock is a fun, sexy way to wear your makeup. Glam up the eyes and leave the lips nude for the day and then transform into a sexy siren by adding a pop of bright colour to your lips. Lady Gaga has nailed glam-rock to perfection, with nude lips and diva eyes, but Christina Aguilera rocks it with clean, porcelin skin, dramatic eyes and intense lips. It’s easy to create the glam rock look when you have the right products. I’ve been playing with a few brands this past week, testing them out, trying on new looks and really having fun with the whole glam-rock look, to bring you this week’s beauty feature… Rimmel London Glam Eyes Professional Liquid Liner in Aqua Glow is great for applying precision liner to your lids and the colour is simply stunning. I really like doing the whole “carbon copy” eye with a black gel liner (see 7) and then adding a stoke of colour with this product to the outer corners. The easy to use applicator makes it simple to use. I also like applying just a bit of this color to the ends of my lashes lashes after applying mascara and…
