New Year, New Desk

New Year, New Desk

Now that Christmas is over, it’s time to start thinking about the New Year. For me, the best way to welcome a new working year is with a fresh, inspired desk space. This weekend the hubs made me the most amazing, beautiful  “blonde” pine trestle desk. It’s gorgeous and big enough for me to work and fill it with pretty things! It needs to be finished off, so in the meantime, I’m looking for beautiful desk accessories to adorn it with. I love the look of natural wood, and since that’s the basis of my desk, I want to go for natural wood pieces, gold and white accents with a touch of black and white for contrast. Until my pretty new desk is ready to reveal, here’s a couple of gorgeous things that I’d love to have on my desk in 2015! Studio Sarah Notebook, Reiko Kaneko Lip Tease Mug, Jonathan Adler Gold Zebra Dish, Kate Spade Acrylic Letter Tray, Kate Spade Acrylic Stapler, Kate Spade “Escape the Ordinary” scented candle, Made By Girl Love Foil Print,  Wooden Hand Mannequin, Wood Block Perpetual Calendar. And of course, some inspiration… The beautiful desk of Danielle Moss via Apartment Therapy. LOVE this space of Kristen Clarke from Living In Color Print. More images here.…

Thunderstruck Leopard

Thunderstruck Leopard

You know when you find THAT pair of perfect jeans and you just want to live in them every day? Well, I found them! I can’t get enough of these blue ripped, Thunderstruck jeans from GAP. Although I really don’t like straight leg jeans (I’m more of a skinny or boot leg kinda gal), this pair of Real Straight jeans ticks all the boxes for me. Beautiful colour, distressed look, great fit and even though the leg is straight, I can cuff them and still get a peek of the gorgeous inseam. For me, this look is almost “boyfriend”, but a little less bulky. I love boyfriend jeans, but they often look a bit sloppy on my short frame. Take a look at how I styled these jeans, with a little bit of leopard, gold accessories and fudge shoes with cute, gold ankle straps… Jeans: GAP 1969 Thunderstruck Real Straight Jeans, Leopard Belt – GAP, Sheer Leopard Top (and Oldie from YDE), Fudge flats – Vince Camuto (Available at Edgars), Bracelet – Accessorize, Bag – Kipling.

I am happy with the condition of my skin, but I am always looking for products that will help to keep it healthy right now, and products that continue the benefits in the years to come. After all prevention is better than cure.

It’s all beautifully packaged and the entire range glitters in gold. Besides the packaging, every product in this collection consists of real gold micro-particles.

Green & Gold Springbok Inspired Looks by @InglotSA

Green & Gold Springbok Inspired Looks by @InglotSA

I asked Inglot‘s Brand Consultant and National Trainer, Luciano dos Santos to send me some tips on how to create perfect Sprinkbok inspired green and gold eye makeup. Luciano says that “green and gold are great colours to use together.” He also warns that you should be very careful not to over do it or else your look could end up looking over dramatic – unless of course, that’s what you’re going for! Luciano sent us three looks that you can try this Rugby season to support our Springboks in style! Green & Gold Makeup Look 1 Brush a frosted neutral(creamy colour ) with a golden reflect over the eyelid and blend softly up onto the brow bone. Line the bottom eye line with a frosted green (either chatreuse or even a moss green) blend into a faded line. Finish of by adding a black liner around the rim of the eye – top and bottom. Apply a few layers of mascara for long and thick lashes. Green & Gold Makeup Look 2 Apply a satin finish or matte green over the eyelid. Any shade of green is suitable for this look. Apply a darker colour green in the crease…

Star Beauty – Party Picks: Part 1

I just love the festive season.  It’s a time of giving, and of receiving… especially in my case.  This month I have been overloaded with fabulous beauty products coming from all directions.  Everyday I get spoilt with a new little indulgence, and each week during December you’ll get to indulge your sweet-tooth for makeup with me, as I have a whole series of beauty features planned. After a week of playing with all the makeup (tell me I don’t have the best job in the world 🙂 ) , I’ve put together a little Party Pick collection for all the seasons’ must have shades and products.   I’ve also got the heads up on some upcoming goodies that will be available soon.  So, if you’re looking for bold and daring shades or prefer the simple and sexy look, you’ve come to the right place. Want something more daring? Check out Part 2 Pink will always be pretty, from luscious, pink lips to rosy cheeks.  There are so many fab lip colours on the market, and you will see most of these earned my “Lust Have” seal of desire, simply because I couldn’t narrow it down, I love them all! 1)…
