Kate Moss – Vintage Muse

“An enduring beauty with a distinct sense of style” that is the only way to explain Kate Moss. With her new fragrance Vintage Muse, available in April 2011, Kate Moss reveals her spirit with this gorgeous, sophisticated scent. She’s had her ups and downs, good press and bad, but through and through, we love Kate Moss. She’s an absolute icon Own a piece of Kate Moss’ style with this fragrance which has top notes of plum, rhubarb and blackcurrant cream. Peony, tiger orchid and purple violet are at the heart of this fragrance, while the base notes are made up of ambergris, white musk and, my personal favourite, a touch of chocolate… mmm! At first spray, the fragrance seems to be a bit sour, but once it settles on your skin, its totally fabulous and packaged in this esquiste purple bottle. I think it will make a great focal piece on my mirror vanity, if I ever get my hands on one! Kate Moss Vintage Muse is available in a 30ml EDT for R295 as well as a 50ml EDT for R395. For more indulgence, there is also a Body Lotion (150ml) available for R100 Smell like Kate this April…

New Summer Fragrances – Burberry Sport, Angel Sunessence, Antonio Banderas, Celine Dion and Narciso Rodriquez

I’m always sampling new fragrances and got a few yummy ones to share with you – for guys and gals! Burberry Sport For Her and Burberry Sport for Him I recently featured these two fragrances on StyleScoop. Fresh and gingery (yes gingery), both versions of Burberry Sport have a ginger scent that you just have to smell to understand – totally YUMMY! Angel Sunessence I’m a Thierry Mugler freak, I’ve got most of his fragrances and just love them. One of my all time favourites is Angel and nothing can “mess with it” – unless of course, its the newer summer versioun called Sunessence. It’s still go the same Thierry Mugler signature and smells as lot like Angel, only different and slightly lighter – perfect for summer! Antonio Banderas – The Secret If you love the man, then you’ll love the man that wears Antonio Banderas The Secret. Lets start with the bottle; Tall, dark and handsome (just like Antonio himself) and the mirrored finish gives it a stylish-chic look. The scent is strong and manly, with a hint of musk – just how a real man should smell! Celine Dion – Pure Brilliance Ok, I wont like, I can’t…

Shoe Porn: Brian Atwood Drama Pumps

Shoe Porn: Brian Atwood Drama Pumps

Nothing says Shoe Porn quite like a pair of kill-ah Brian Atwood heels! These babies, “Drama” are just that… D-R-A-M-A! The Drama Pumps are closed toe platforms in patent nude leather with a contrasting heel that stands 140mm high (yeah baby!). When I saw these babies, the first thing that came to mind was Victoria Beckham (DUH). So, I Googled to see if she had a pair and, of course, Ms Becks does – we do have the same taste after all, she just wears the shoes and I write about them. Back to some dramatic dreaming…

Lovin’ Louboutin

If I could choose one designer item, it would without a doubt be a pair of Louboutin’s.

Now, fess up, I don’t have pair of Louboutin’s and I’m not sure how many years I’ll have to save before I own a pair, but having them to me is, is like a owning a Ferrari – a fabulous red shoe Ferrari.
