While You Were Away

stylescoop-back-to-work

It’s official! The whole country seems to be back at work today, back to the grind and taking on another year.

I know this because the traffic has once again, shown it’s not so pleasant face!

I hope you’ve all returned from having an amazing time with friends and family this festive season; swimming, chilling, relaxing and enjoying all the summer holiday festivities.

A Christmas in the sunshine is just the cherry on top to living in South Africa. Hey, we may not have Hermès scarves at our fingertips (I’m currently obsessed with owning an Hermes Twilly!), and sure our Rand has taken a beating (so owning one seems less and less attainable), but hey, we’ve got sunshine, we’ve got beer (not that I drink beer, but you know what I mean) and we’ve got good vibes!

If you’re back in the real world today, you’ve probably missed out on some fab posts, as I’ve been blogging all December. But don’t worry as today, I’m going to give you a little recap so you can catch up quickly in time for more awesome content coming your way in 2016!

But first things first, say “hello” to StyleScoop’s shiny new interface! I’ve been toying with the idea of updating the layout of the site and, as much as I loved the old look, I wanted to break out of the boundaries of having all my posts structured in the same layout. So I hope you like my new theme, which I believe will make browsing more pleasant and seamless.

Now onto some of my fave recent posts…

pureology-smooth-perfection-range

Absolutely obsessed with Pureology’s latest range, Smooth Perfection and their amazing Fabulous Lengths treatment! I’ve had so many compliments on my hair lately, and it’s all thanks to this incredible hair treat. Read more about it here.

giselle

Take a peek inside the home of the beautiful Giselle Bündchen and face of CHANEL N°5 in this short video campaign where the Brazilian beauty talks about her connection to fragrance. Read more about it here.

tommy-hilfiger-dress-stripes

I did a couple of #OOTD posts in December, one of them being this beautiful Tommy Hilfiger outfit (so obsessed with that bag) which we shot while on holiday in Durban. Looking at it now just makes me want to head back to the beach!

wanderlust-traveler-ootd-7954

And this second one, which I called “Wanderlust Traveler” is all about my obsession with these boho style wide legged pants. The perfect traveling pants!

candy-bark-recipe

I also shared a super easy festive treat, and I know Christmas is over, but who’s to say you can’t have Candy Cane Bark all year round? This recipe is one of the easiest things I’ve created and it only requires two ingredients; white chocolate and candy cane.

hello-lindt-emotis

Speaking of chocolate, how about these super cute and cool Hello Lindt Emotis? Finally a way to express an emotion with chocolate 😉 🙂 😀

best-of-2015-dubai-trip

I loved re-capping on some of my best moments of 2015 and in this post I’ve shared not only my best moments of the year that was, but also my fave beauty products, hair products and my fave outfits.

knomo-bathurst-backpack-converse

I’m going back to cool this year with this nifty Knomo Bathurst backpack. How super cute is she? Such a great way to carry all my blogging gear (laptop, DSLR, lenses) and with room for all my cables and extra bits.

lux-soft-touch

I wrote a cute article, inspired by the LUX Soft Touch collection, all about igniting the spark and sharing some fabulous facts about the queen of flowers, the rose. From the oldest recorded rose bush in the world (reported to be over 700 years old) to Shakespeare’s mention of roses in his writings. Plus, find out what it means if you give or receive 1 rose to 1001 roses and what each colour represents.

ellie-goulding-x-mac-cosmetics-collection-Halcyon-Days

And lastly, my thoughts on two goodies from the beautiful new MAC x Ellie Goulding makeup collection which launched in South Africa last week. It’s beyond beautiful, just check out the swatches. That palette is everything!
