One of my favourite things is fragrance! Actually, I think fragrance is my favourite thing! A lovely scent can change your mood in an instant, and there is nothing like wearing a fragrance that makes you feel exquisite. I like to keep my options open, and as much as I like the idea of a signature scent, honestly life is too short not to indulge in as many pleasures as possible! Why not explore them all? So at the moment, I’ve been rotating amongst these five fragrance faves..

On Tuesday this week was World Water Day and together with a whole lot of other bloggers and influencers, Giorgio Armani challenged us to take part in the #1DayOn10Liters online awareness campaign. In a nutshell, the challenge was about using only 10 liters of water for just one day to do everything we’d normally do, from cooking to cleaning to drinking and washing.

On the 22nd March is World Water Day and a great time to stop and think about the importance of this natural element, which in many places is not only scarce, but where clean water is difficult to come by! As little as 10 Litres of water a day is considered a luxury in some places. 10 Litres! Now imagine your day to day life and having just 10 Litres a day to get you through your daily activities; including cooking, cleaning, hygiene and drinking. Could you manage just #1DayOn10Liters?

Today’s modern woman does it all. We work hard, we focus on our career, our family, our relationships, our friends, our community… we want it all and we do it all. But how often do you stop along the way and remember YOU? How many times have you put off “me time” to do something else for someone else? This September, Italian Maestro, Giorgio Armani reveals a second chapter in the #SaySì story, once again featuring the beautiful Australian actress Cate Blanchett. The second chapter, will be revealed on the 13 September 2015, with a new collection of Cate’s emotions and a new declaration of femininity… As we lead up to the launch of the new campaign, I’ve got an exciting giveaway, where you could win one of three Giorgio Armani Sì fragrances. But first, lets quickly recap on the Sì fragrance collection… It started in 2013 with the launch of Sì Eau de Parfum. The essence of Armani Style. Chic, sultry and elegant, Sì Eau de Parfum plays on emotion, true to the Giorgio Armani couture spirit. The juice combines the inflection of three accords: blackcurrant nectar, modern chypre, and blond wood musk with touches of freesia and May rose. A perfume for women that reveals her freedom, passion, love and her vibrancy. In 2014, the house launched Sì…

With Father’s Day around the corner, and some sexy new scents for the guys, I thought today would be a perfect time to show you gals my fave three fragrances that your number one man is going to love! Yves Saint Laurent KOUROS SILVER Oh-My-GAWD! This fragrance…! It’s one of those follow me around scents that literally sweeps you off your feet! KOUROS – the original (in the white bottle) that was launched in 1981 (my birth year by the way) has always been one of my fave scents for guys! I love, love, love it! So, before I sniffed the new KOUROS SILVER, I was half expecting not to fall in love – but one whiff, and I got all weak in the knees! KOUROS SILVER is a celebration of the contemporary image of the male body, uniting power, style and masculinity. Its the embodiment of strength and the archetype of glory — like ‘Heracles’, towering between triumph and sexiness. KOUROS SILVER is fresh and intense. The fragrance explodes with an aromatic blend of green apple, combined with woody ambers and crisp sage! Besides the fragrance being totally irresistible and kinda stalkarish, the KOUROS SILVER campaign is also fronted by South African…

Today I’m super excited, because I get to show you gals some of the hot new sunglass styles on offer from Luxottica’s brands! I love them all so much… and as I always say, a girl can never have too many shoes, perfumes or sunglasses! Brace yourselves though, for a bazillion-and-one sunglass selfies… Dolce & Gabbana First up, Dolce and Gabbana. The new range from the Italian powerhouse is absolutely jaw dropingly beautiful. Sophisticated, elegant and ladylike, but all while maintaining a serious glam factor… One of the biggest statements I’ve noticed Dolce & Gabbana making, are square frames. Whether simple square frames, or really extravagant ones that have beautiful hand made roses embellishing the entire frame! These  kinda remind me of a heavily frosted cake! I just want to eat them up! It’s all about the detail, with gorgeous temples, encrusted with cute and a little quirky bling-bling! Kinda obsessed with these (real) lace shades! At first, I thought the colour wouldn’t match my dark hair, but surprise, surprise… they are winners! Absolutely loving these floral options… Go all out with floral prints throughout your frames, or opt for more subtle versions (like the back pair) that have simple black frames in front, with a surprise floral detail hidden inside.…

Giorgio Armani has always said yes to effortless, impeccable style and timeless luxury. Dressing women who embody their epoch. Strong, sensual women who dare to live life to the fullest. Earlier this week, I shared a little teaser clip about the new Giorgio Armani Sì EDT, to inspire you to say “Sì” to emotion. Before I announce my three winners, I wanted to give you full access into this beautiful digital film. It features five women and focuses on five intense moments of life… destiny, self-confidence, emotion, courage and love. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc5pdmZA91o&feature=youtu.be The fragrance is absolutely lovely. It’s delicate and seductive, with a spark of fruity notes coupled with woody, amber and patchouli.

So, congrats to these gals… Hanmarie Roos (via…
