Say hello to summer in style with pretty and totally rockin’ designer summer dresses that are cute, quirky and affordable! For the second time round, British Designer Henry Holland has collaborated with Mr Price, and this time his brought along his gal pals! Henry created nine unique pieces, each one representing (and fittingly named after) one of his BFF’s. Think Kelly Osbourne, Pixie Geldof, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Iggy Azalea, Rita Ora, Alexa Chung, Agyness Deyn and Poppy Delevingne. Perfect to update your summer wardrobe this season and just in time for the holidays! PLUS! For every one of these dresses sold, ten rand will be donated to the RedCap Foundation Schools Project – a foundation that Henry Holland is very fond of and has worked closely with since his last collaboration. Now don’t stress gals, these dresses may be “designer”, but they come without the designer price tag! They range in the region of R119.99 (for the Rita Dress), R139.99 (for the Pixie, Iggy, Katy and Riri Dress), to R149.99 (for the Aggy, Alexa, Kelly and Poppy Dress).

Smile Your Way to a Cosmo Cover & R20K Shopping Spree! Today’s Your Last Chance

As the entries to the Colgate #WearASmile competition close at the end of the day, I thought I’d do another smiley post and give you more tips to help you submit your best smile ever! Being one to shy away from the camera, I’ve learnt a lot about how to smile more naturally. Nowadays, I try not to worry too much about how the end picture will look – as for me, that always ends in a deer-in-the-headlights kinda way. The best smile, IMO (in my opinion) is one that is totally and completely natural. One where the person’s face genuinely lights up the room. You don’t have to be the best looking person in the room, but a great smile will always get you noticed. I popped on over to the Optic White blog to check out some of the competition and these gorgeous smiles caught my eye… I love how these smiles show off these girl’s, playful personality. Without ever meeting them, I can instantly tell that they would be very approachable and easy to get along with. Remember that today is your last chance to enter and win your own Cosmo Cover, PLUS that R20K Shopping Spree! If that is’nt enough to make you smile, then…

The Art of The “Selfie”: Three Simple Tips to Better Pics #WearASmile

Arhhh! Photos! I’ll be the first to admit, that while I love taking pictures, I hate photographs of myself! I always think that I look too weird in them and that my smile looks too fake. I guess I haven’t mastered the art of my “photo face”. Now, as you know Colgate is running their awesome #WearASmile Campaign, where you could win your very own Cosmo Cover and appear in the gatefold cover of Cosmopolitan magazine! Entries close on the 22nd May, so you still have some time to enter, by uploading your best smile to the Wear A Smile blog. If you’re like me and want to win, but don’t like pictures of yourself, here are my three simple tips that may help you take better selfies. Remember to upload them onto the Wear A Smile blog if you want that prize! 1. Don’t compromise on good light! Ever! Light is so important to making your pics look that much better. Lighting that is too harsh will bring out all your flaws, while bad lighting can be just as unpleasant! The flash is also not your BFF when it comes to selfies. Most of the time it makes you look washed…

Make a Splash! We Heart the New CROCS Rain Boots & Wellies

CROCS have just released their brand new rain-boots, perfect for our wet winters in South Africa. Together with some beautiful bloggers, we got to put these new boots to the test in a recent, and very wet, photo-shoot for Crocs in Cape Town! I’ll give you more details on that a little later (so keep an eye out for the pics), but for today, I wanted to share these amazing boots with you. The Wellie Rainboot is a traditional styled gum boot, that besides being super cool (it comes in six fabulous shades), is also extremely light! I tell you, when I tried these boots on, I was beyond impressed with how light they were! They are made from fully molded Croslite™ material that gives them this lightweight profile and they are completely waterproof. I own a pair of Hunter boots that I bought myself last year, and while they are fabulous and stylish, they are extremely heavy to wear, especially if you plan on staying in your shoes all day! The Wellie Raiboot, as mentioned comes in six beautiful colours, my favourite being the forrest navy, which is an army green and goes with everything. They are also available in mulberry (black), cranberry (red), espresso (brown), fuchsia/…
