Celebrate Spring with 3 Delightful New Jasmine Fragrances

Nothing says hello and welcome Spring, like the delightful scent of Jasmine. At about 5pm, when the sun starts to set, that gorgeous aroma fills the air, signifying the start of new and exciting things to come. It’s one of the things I look forward to most every spring. So to welcome the glorious season of Spring, and since it’s Spring Day in South Africa, I’ve rounded up three of my favourite jasmine loaded fragrances for this season. All three are absolutely gorgeous scents, and with each one, as I sniffed them, my reaction was pretty similar… “this is going to…

I’ve been dying to show you gals Chanel‘s latest makeup collection for Spring/ Summer 2015.

Kiss From A Jolie Rose

Kiss From A Jolie Rose

I am getting super excited about all the lovely new, light and floral fragrances launching for Spring. One of them, Azzaro Jolie Rose which comes in this beautiful pink bottle with an over sized pink “rose” lid. So pretty! A sparkling fragrance composed by Daphne Bugey of Firmenich, Jolie Rose evokes life, colour, softness and femininity. It’s a powdery blend of flowers with zesty, velvety fruits that rest on a musky-woody base. The top note is orchestrated by bright, bursting accents of citron and kumquat with tangy notes of blackcurrant. The heart is a shower of rose petals blended with violet…

Driving a wedge between yes and no

Driving a wedge between yes and no

This week, my column is a little different.  This time I’m discussing a fabulous pair of shoes I bought this weekend, but really can’t decide if I like them all that much.  More importantly, I can’t decide if they go with much. The shoes themselves are FABULOUS and very comfortable too! I tried them on with pair of bootcut jeans, and they look hot – the perfect shopping shoe, plus they match one of my gold bags. So whats my problem? Well besides the jeans, I can’t find anything else in my cupboard that go with them.  I tried them…
