Elegance Untamed

I’m so excited to finally be able share these Behind the Scenes images and tell you more about an exciting project with Wild Africa Cream. Together with the beautiful Carlinn (Superficial GirlsG) and Thithi (TEETEEISWITHME), we were chosen as ambassadors to welcome the new look Wild Africa Cream in style… by adding elegance to every girl’s must have wardrobe item, the LBD, AKA Little Black Dress. Wild Africa Cream is a smooth and delicious cream liqueur, made in South Africa. You’ll probably remember it by the bold leopard “fur coat” packaging it used to have. Well, it now offers the same amazing taste, but this time around, it’s got a more elegant and refined new look. To celebrate the re-birth of their packaging, the three of us had a fun shoot for Marie Claire Magazine that you can see in the November 2014 issue, styling our favourite Little Black Dresses. Stick around as I’ll be sharing my #EleganceUntamed fashion and beauty posts throughout the month of November. In the meantime, here are some pics from the day… By the way, you guys can also enjoy a bit of #EleganceUntamed at the Wild Africa Cream Exclusive Launch Parties happening in Cape Town on 19th November 2014, or Jozi on the 4th December 2014. Make it a night out and bring your untamed elegance by wearing your favourite LBD with a touch…

Accessorize Autumn/ Winter 2014 – My Favourite Picks

So, Accessorize sent over their latest catalogue for our upcoming season, and I couldn’t help but swoon… Take a look at some of the pieces that caught my eye! Snuggle up in style with this chunky knit snood that will match just about any outfit and look great with a pair of jeans and brown boots. Kinda obsessed with this Delhi Urban Embellished Necklace I’m not that into “bling”, but this Turkish Treasure Zip Top Clutch is so gorge and will take a little black dress from zero to hero in a flash. I believe this item is sold out, so if you happen to find one lurking in store, snap it up! Get ready to rock your beanie again this winter! Love this navy Plain Boyfriend Beanie. This bag!!! Need I say more?!?! I’ve had my eye on the Mari Bag (R899) for a while and when I saw it had leopard print inside, I was sold! Love this Bobble Stretch Bracelet, that would make a great addition to my arm candy collection. These Shirley Shell stud earrings are the absolute cutest! A little bit of dainty love for this Brushed Heart Bracelet This Cotton Plaited Torq Necklace would look great with a denim shirt! Have you ever seen me say no to leopard…

Insta-Scoop: Shoe Closets, Halloween and Treats – My Week in Instagrams

Hello stylish peeps! Can you believe it’s Monday already? I thought I’d start my posts this week by looking back and letting you guys in on some of the exciting things you’ve probably already seen if you follow me on Instagram. You can follow me on Instagram – stylescoopdotcoza where I post snaps of every day stuff like my shoe obsessions, makeup and events, and on occasion, the kids (my two Rotties and two mongrels) who drive me nuts, but whom I love to death! Enjoy! An exciting package from the cool peeps over at Levi’s… Stila fans, if you haven’t already heard the news, Stila cosmetics are finally available in South Africa, yay! I got to sample some goodies – my first time using Stila – and I absolutely love, love, love! Check out my review on some Stila products here. Love this clever Halloween gift filled with tricks and (more) treats from Accessorize, LaSenza and Inglot. Some more goodies from GOSH cosmetics to try. GOSH like Stila, is new to South Africa, but no stranger to makeup junkies around the globe! I can’t wait to dig into this makeup and am especially keen to try the eyebrow kit and…

Here comes the sun! Get sun smart with these face and body sunscreens

Summer is here! Well, almost. Soon we’ll be ditching the boots and long sleeves for good, (at least I hope we will) and we’ll need to stock up on some sun smart products, to ensure we stay safe and protected all summer long! Check out our top picks for a sun smart summer for face and body… For the face Remember whether you’re spending time in the sun, catching a tan or plan to spend most of the day mostly under your umbrella, don’t leave the house without protection. Your face is exposed to sun rays pretty much all the time, regardless of whether the sun is shining or it’s overcast. For days on the beach, by the pool or when going for walks, a wide brim hat is a must! We love this floppy hat from Woolworths (R99.99). Your eyes need protection too! Don’t compromise style by investing in a pair of these trendy, blooming beautiful over sized sunnies from Dolce & Gabanna’s ‘Garden Party’ themed collection. Get them at Sunglass Hut (R2290). Protect the skin with an element barrier. Nimue Barrier is a dual skin barrier that helps to protect and strengthen the skin’s natural lipid barrier resistance…

Summer Beauty Trend – Neon Eyes

I’m absoluteley loving the neon trend for eyes this summer. It’s such a fun-in-the-sun trend and one you’ve just got to try! On the catwalk colour saturated eyes were seen at Dior, Oscar de la Renta, Derek Lam and Peter Wu. In Hollywood stars such as Rihanna, Rachel Bilson, Jennifer Hudson and Nicky Minaj rocked bright lined eyes. Whether you’re lining your upper or lower lids with bright coloured liners or blending bright colour pops of shadow on your lids, one thing is for sure, you’ve just got to do colour! Eyes are about to pop Top from left: Revlon Matte Eye Shadow in Venetian Blue, Revlon CustomEyes 5 shadow palette in Party Pops (R160), YSL Ombre Solo Shadow in Topaz Blue (R325). Bottom from left: Revlon Matte Eye Shadow in Luscious Lime, Inglot Freedom System shadow in LF03CD (yellow) (R69) and Inglot Freedom System Shadow in LF10CK (green)( R69). Line those lids From top: Accessorize Glitter Eyeliner in Turquoise Blue (available at Clicks), Revlon ColorStay Liquid Liner in Black 001 (R120), NYX Felt Tip Liner in Dark Brown (available at Clicks), Revlon ColorStay Liquid Eye Pen in 02 Black R140.
