Wear Your Story With Nomination
I love travelling. I love wandering and exploring the unknown. Discovering new places, emerging in new cultures. I love it all! There’s a quote by an unknown author that says, “Traveling is the only thing you buy that makes you richer” and it’s true! I love nothing more than experiencing all this for myself, but I also love hearing travel tales and stories from other travellers. And what better way to ignite a travel conversation than by wearing your travel stories on your wrist?

Opulent Florals for Winter – Shop the Look
Remember that scene in The Devil Wears Prada, where boss lady Miranda pipes up and says, “Florals? For spring? Ground breaking!” I wonder if she thought about Florals for winter? The 70’s vibe is a huge hit for winter 2017, as is wearing pattern overload, texture and florals! So to give you some inspo into wearing the trend, I rounded up a few of my favourite, very 70’s, very textured and very floral winter must haves…

Layered Necklaces
A lot of you girls have been asking me about the necklaces that I’m wearing in my profile pic (the same one I wore on this post and on instagram yesterday). Aren’t they just beautiful? Both are from Georgini, an Australian jewellery brand (that’s available from various retailers in South Africa – as well as via their local online store) and they have some truly beautiful pieces; some bold, some dainty, some intricate and some brightly coloured as well. I’ve slowly been trying to build my jewellery collection into something that I love. Bit by bit, I’m adding quality necklaces, rings and especially earrings, because I feel that I’m at a point in my life where it matters to have something that’s high quality, rather than something that’s flashy and fashionable. The thing I love about my new Georgini necklaces, is that they are both fashionable, but made out of quality materials (these are both 925 Sterling Silver) – which means these special pieces will last a lifetime. I’ve always been a golden girl (no, not like the old lady actresses – although Blanche will always be my fave), but in terms of jewellery. I’ve always gravitated towards gold. But then, I love silver too. As much as I also love the gold…

“Tiger’s Tooth” Necklace
Thomas Sabo jewellery is fast becoming one of my faves. Not only because of the high quality and attention to detail, but their arty, creative and meaningful pieces make Thomas Sabo jewellery all the more special.
You may remember that I featured this “Tiger’s Tooth” Necklace as one of my favourite pieces from the Thomas Sabo Glam and Soul collection and now that I have it in my life, I love it to absolute bits! It’s so beautiful and so special, however to truly appreciate its beauty you should really try to see it with your own eyes.

How To Shop Smarter, Spend Less & Love Your Wardrobe
Buying new clothes can be exciting. It can also be a taunting experience, never mind stressful; especially with the big fat dent that’s left in your wallet. New season means new clothes right? Wrong! Over the years, I’ve learnt to shop smarter. I was just tired of having a cupboard full of clothes, and still faced with the common dilemma that is I have nothing to wear!
