Layers & Cozy Boots
Don’t you just love this weather? Sunny days out in Jozi with a nice chill in the air are my favourite kind! Yes, I’ve fully embraced cozy season and my go-to, casual outfit for every day would look something like this…

Dream Team
I heart my bed! I really do! And I love my sleep! Back when we were dating, my hubby used to call me “the sleeping machine”. He just couldn’t understand how I could sleep so much. If sleeping was a sport (then), I’d have more than a few shiny medals to boast. Nowadays, sleep is a luxury! With so much on the go all the time, it’s difficult to get in my zzz’s, but now that the temps are dropping, all I want to do is cozy up at home and stay in my PJ’s all day long! Which is why weekends are reserved for cute PJ’s, cozy blankets, lots of tea and Nutella Hot Chocolate, watching movies and sleepy time.

Midnight Blooms
It may be winter – but I have Spring In My Step! I’ll admit, I’m not usually one to wear running shoes or sneakers outside of the gym – but these New Balance Midnight Blooms are so beautiful, so comfy and so darn cute, they are the perfect casual kicks that don’t look overly sporty! I actually love them! The Fresh Foam Zante soles makes them feel like I’m walking on air and let’s be honest – who could complain about looking down and seeing a gorgeous tropical print at their feet?

The Ultimate Gift Guide For The Woman Who Seems To Have It All
I don’t know about you girls, but the older I get the less I want! Is that weird? It’s not that I dont want “stuff”, I do, I just don’t want random stuff that serves no purpose in my life, know what I mean? The funny thing is, more and more women I speak to have said the same thing. They want cool shiz that makes their smiles grow and hearts flutter. So instead of doing OTT Christmas wish lists, I thought I’d put together some small, but inexpensive gift ideas that you can hint-hint for your list to Santa, or if you’re looking to buy a fabulous friend something she’ll actually love this Christmas. And, don’t worry, I’ve covered various price brackets too, starting from R60!

Shades of Grey #ootd
The winter chill is upon us, and all I want is to stay warm and fluffy all day long! Lately I’ve been living in my Riveria Edge to Edge longer length grey cardi from Old Khaki. It’s the softest, most snuggle worthy item of clothing I own and it goes with pretty much everything. Speaking of snuggle worthy, I’m also mildly obsessed with these cable knit fingerless gloves and my pom pom beanie (and I’ve still got my eye on this one). Outfit Details Grey, longer length cardi – Old Khaki (get it online here) Striped tee – Cotton On Fingerless gloves – Old Khaki (get them online here) Pom Pom beanie – Cotton On. Similar style here from Old Khaki Necklace – Lucky Brand Jeans – Luck Brand Leather Riding Boots – Tsonga Mug (my favourite) from Anthropologie

Fab or Drab: Would you wear Jail Stripes? [Poll]
It’s been a while since we’ve had a poll here on StyleScoop, and I thought today’s scoop was perfect for our first poll of 2013! Jail Stripes! What do you think of solid-striped black and white print on clothing? I’m kinda feeling the skirt from Mr Price, but not so sure about the jailhouse jeans from Cotton On, they look a little bit too ‘convict’ for my liking. When we spotted them at the new Cotton On Store at The Pav, I was like “hmmm, I don’t think so”, while my sister in law said she’d definitely wear them. I’d love to know what you think and dont’ forget to take our quick poll too… [poll id=”26″]
