I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect pair of tan, leather winter booties for some time, and I’m happy to say that that the hunt is finally over! I spotted some great winter boots, or rather booties at Edgars, Woolies, ZARA as well as Tread + Miller, before finally deciding on T-H-E a perfect pair from Dune London. If you’re on the lookout for some fab winter booties this season, I’ve rounded up all the booties that caught my eye and why.

If you’re not looking forward to winter, trust me when I say that the new range at Edgars, will have you feeling ready for a winter wonderland, in style! One of the key pieces and hottest trends to rock this winter is the Cape, and this one from Mango stole my heart! Isn’t she a beaut?! Denim will always have a place in my heart; winter, summer, autumn or spring and for this winter, I’m loving the whole western feel of these looks. Suede jackets, denim shirts and my favourite-favourite, hats! You can never have too many hats! The monochrome look for winter ain’t going anywhere anytime soon and just look at how many pieces you can mix and match to create a textured, winter monochrome ensemble. Black and white is hot for the guys as well. Create your sport-luxe styles with baseball jackets, a tie and don’t forget the cap for that extra cool factor! Also for the guys… rock those layers with lightweight knits, button up shirts and matchy-matchy scarves. Winter would not be complete without a few wild animal prints… Dress up bold print dresses with luxe faux fur jackets and if you’re not into the whole…

As I get older (and wiser), I seem to want less and less “STUFF”. When it comes to my wardrobe, I’d rather have a few amazing, classic and wearable pieces of clothing that I love, over a cupboard that’s jam packed with clothing I hate, don’t wear and pretty much just hangs around taking up space. This winter, one of the brands I’ll definitely be popping by for some staples, is Lucky Brand. You guys know I’m already obsessed with their jewellery and I live in their jeans. But they also have a beautiful selection of clothing too. Last year, I bought myself a blouse from Lucky Brand, and it’s one of my best investments. One of those true wardrobe winners, that will take me through season after season. This year, I have a few Lucky Brand faves on my lust list … Lydia embroidered dress – R1799.95 Gold metal link bracelet – R549.95 Brooke Skinny – R1199.95 Double stone ring – R499.95 Double stone cuff – R749.95 Bella Woodblock leather belt – R749.95 Lucky Brand is available at flagship stores in Centurion Mall, Eastgate Shopping Centre, Westville Pavilion as well as selected Edgars stores.

Are you guys as excited as I am about Victoria’s Secret beauty products finally making their way to SA? YESSSS! For today’s Fragrance Friday, I wanted to showcase the beautiful and heavenly Victoria’s Secret BOMBSHELL fragrance collection. Perfect in pink, this Eau Da Parfum fragrance is a blend of purple passion fruit, peony and vanilla orchid. The result, pure heaven! It’s soft yet sexy, fruity yet extremely seductive and pretty all round. It opens with top notes of Tangelo, pineapple, strawberry and purple passion fruit. At the heart; jasmine (my fave), red berries, muguet, Shangri-la peony, vanilla orchid bring the scent to life, before settling into base notes of musk, blonde woods and oakmoss. Oh la la indeed! The fragrance also comes with the option to increase your olfactory pleasure, with a nourishing and indulgent fragranced body lotion, that feels like silk on your skin. And for those of you that travel, or like to keep your perfume handy in your bag, the BOMBSHELL Rollerball EDP is perfect. BOMBSHELL is just one of the many beautiful fragrances from Victoria’s Secret. You can experience them all the Victoria’s Secret Beauty & Accessories flagship store in Sandton City or check out the in-store…

I used to live, and I mean LIVE in my Docs! Back in “the day” (and in SA) the style options were limited. You either had black or oxblood or you wanted them, and bad! But now, the variety of styles are endless. And (almost) all of them are available to us right here in South Africa! Woo HOO! I snapped up some some of my faves at the launch of the first flagship Dr Martens South African store in the Mall of Rosebank last week. A fab event, where we were treated to beer, burgers and OMG, Corndogs! From the original “ox blood” 14-ups to brighter coloured options, to some edgy clothing as well! Then there are these! Seriously loud styles in animal print, polka dots and floral prints. Black and white polka dots, rubber Docs, more animal print (I want to go back for these as the soles are slightly more “updated” from the original styles and I like that) and even a pair of Union Jack Docs. They also have only T-H-E most amazing satchels, made from leather and they look and feel just like Docs! So cute in fact that I bought the baby one, because I mean,…

I have vacation on the brain! I just want to pack my bags and go on holiday, catch a tan and enjoy cocktails in the sun! So for today’s post, I wanted to show you guys some of my favourite Summer Vacation pieces… My favourite find is this pair of Crochet shorts from EXPRESS which is available at Edgars Rosebank. I went looking for them after I posted about them here and they are perfectoh! I’ve been on the hunt for shorts just like these for ages and after trying them on, I’ve hit the jackpot! I love the fit, the fabric, the cut and that they are high waisted without being super short! I was worried that because they are crochet they would add bulk (and who wants that!), but none of that. Just pretty, girly shorts! From River Island, I got this cute little summer cover-up/ jacket type thing! I went in looking for a kimono, but fell in love with the print and style of this piece. I like that it’s super simple and can be worn day or night and could probably work as a beach coverup too? You guys know I am obsessed with Lucky Brand, especially their jeans and their…

I’m not a huge Pizza fan, but this weekend I was converted when the hubz and I headed out to Braamfontien (again – man I love that place) and discovered the best pizza in town! 86 Public is a seriously cool pizza joint in the heart of Jozi! With a pizza selection and cocktails worthy of praise, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a Saturday in the city! And, they even have a live DJ adding to their cool and hip vibe. With such striking surroundings, and a happy belly, who could resist doing a little OOTD… I picked up this cute graphic tee at Edgars the other day, and I had to have it! I mean, who doesn’t believe in the Selfie? And since we were planning on walking the streets of Jozi, I thought I’d break out my new panama hat. If you ever find yourself in Jozi, make sure you stop past 86 Public for a pizza and cocktails! I highly recommend the Bacon, Fig, Leek and Feta Pizza (doesn’t that sound amazing?) and their Chocolate, Marscapone, Pineapple, Pear, Banana and Strawberry Pizza, was deee-lish! Pizza and Chocolate – who would have thought?! Oh, and their Gin…
