London Photo Diary

I always wanted to go to London. So when I found out I’d be traveling to London with River Island, a hot British fashion brand new to SA, I was over the moon! There was a lot I wanted to see, but there just wasn’t enough time to see it all. However, I did manage to squeeze in a few sights, a traditionally Brit Fish & Chips din-din and some shopping! The highlight of my trip no doubt, was visiting the River Island headquarters (check out my post and video here) and also attending their “RIxmas14” – Christmas in July press preview – which I’ll show you guys more of next week. For today’s post, I wanted to share a small photo diary of my trip. Going through these pics makes me want to go back all over again! London is such a buzzing, beautiful place. Even walking the streets is an amazing sight seeing experience! I love the old buildings, the fact that people walk – I’ve never walked so much in my life! And just the atmosphere in general. One of the things I really wanted to see was the “Coco Chanel Lampposts”. I read about the legend of these, I think in Camilla Morton’s, “How to Walk…

Hello from London
London

Hello from London

Hi gals Sorry I’ve been a little quiet this week, but I have a good excuse! I’m in London. I arrived here early this morning and I’m here for a couple of days to check out the River Island headquarters. The brand, which brings us Great Fashion From Great Britain will be launching in South Africa later this month. Yay! All I can say is get excited! I checked out the Oxford Street store briefly this morning and the range is bea-uuuutiful! I want everything!!! From what I’ve seen, the clothes are edgy and stylish with so many drool-worthy pieces! Day, Night, Casual and Glam – everything covered under one roof! Follow me (@stylescoop) on Instagram for an inside scoop from the streets of London! Here’s a peek so far… Enjoy [signature]

Time To Travel

Time To Travel

You guys! I recently got the most amazing news ever! Next week, little old me, will be jet setting to the UK (first time ever) to check out the latest offering from River Island. The brand launches in South Africa this month (thanks Edgars) and later on, in September, the doors to the first South African River Island Concept store will open! I am so excited that I’ll be getting a first look at what will be on offer, and of course, I’ll share with you guys! I’m also really excited about going to London! Woo Hoo! What to wear?! What to take?! What to See?! Where to Shop?! Questions, questions, so many questions… But the ultimate thing on my mind right now is travelling and getting packed! Of course, I’ll be travelling with my TUMI, but here are some other exciting items from the latest TUMI Fall 2014 collection that I would just D-I-E to get my hands on to take with… As you probably know, I am obsessed with organising and packing is no exception! I’ve been overseas a couple of times (and locally about a bazillion), and every time I get a little better at packing. And these goodies from the TUMI Journey collection are right…

My Snapshots from Crete – Greece’s Island Paradise

It’s been two weeks since the hubs and I have been back from holiday. Things things have been so manic trying to catch-up, I’ve only now had a chance to even look through my holiday pics. Since I was organizing my snapped memories, I thought I’d share some of my fave pics with you guys. There are a lot, so I’ve split them into two posts, the second one I’ll post on Friday. I didn’t take my “big boy” camera along with all the time, which I regret now – but thankfully we both had our phones with us, so we could at least snap some memories. Today I’ll share some pics from our island holiday in Crete,

Bon Voyage, Adios Amigos, See Ya

Bon Voyage, Adios Amigos, See Ya

By the time you read this post, I’ll be on a beach, sipping Frappe’s and getting my summer tan on! I’m off to Greece for a little European holiday! Don’t worry though, nothing will change on StyleScoop! I’ve been working like a crazy mo-fo (and drinking way too much coffee) to ensure that posts will be loaded for you while I am away! So you’ll still be able to log in every day and catch up on the daily scoop! Aren’t I the best? While StyleScoop will say updated, I am going to be on holiday, so I wont be answering any emails. Don’t stress if you don’t get an answer! It’s probably becuase I’m on a blissful island in the Mediterranean! That, or getting my annual fix of Starbucks, Frappe, Souvlaki or Mythos beer (even though I don’t drink beer)! Anyhoo! If you want to keep updated with me (and check out all the awesome things I’ll be snapping in Greece), be sure to follow me on Instagram. You can find me there under the username stylescoopdimi xoxo Dimi

Meet My Travel Buddies

Meet My Travel Buddies

I get bored on a plane! Like, really, really bored! I’m worse than a kid! And I’ve learnt that I need to make sure I have enough to keep me occupied or else I get ratty! Bless the digital age, that allows us to pack only a few electronic things to ensure we are occupied for hours! Yesterday I showed you guys what beauty products I take on board. Today, I’ll show you my travel buddies – electronics and gadgets that I will, most definitely take with on my trip! iPad My iPad always goes with me whenever I travel. It’s the best invention in the world because you can do so much with it! I’ve loaded mine up with books, magazines, movies and games to keep me occupied. I love playing UNO – I can have fun with this game for hours! I also like to play around with Moodboad, creating inspiration boards. iPhone Well, my iPhone is always with me. As in always. As in it’s permanantely attached to my hand. I mostly use my iPhone on the plane to snap pics, since I have an iPad 2 – which hasn’t got the best camera, so I never use…

ON BOARD! Beauty Products To Keep In Your Carry-On

ON BOARD! Beauty Products To Keep In Your Carry-On

I have a confession to make! I’m an over-packer, and I tend to haul hundreds of things with me on holiday. You know, for those “just in case” moments! But I’m getting smarter! This time when I fly (holiday time again, yay!), I’ve carefully thought out what beauty products to bring with me on the plane. I’ve narrowed it down to eight travel beauty essentials that don’t take up too much space, and will help me look fresh and wide awake when I step off the plane. Giovanni D:tox I received this awesome pack of travel-sized skin-care products from Giovanni. The D:Tox kit includes a Purifying Facial Cleanser, Facial Scrub, Replenishing Facial Moisturizer and a Purifying Facial Mask, all nicely packaged in a TSA compliant clear bag. That way I can just hop on a plane and not worry about airport officials emptying out my luggage (embarrassing). I probably wont use the mask and scrub on the plane (that could be kinda scary!), but I will probably end up using the cleanser and moisturizer. Either way, the pack is small enough to haul and I can feel better, you know “just in case”! Like Just in Case we end up being stranded in Dubai…

Products That Rocked 2012! TUMI Tegra-Lite Luggage

Products That Rocked 2012! TUMI Tegra-Lite Luggage

I’ve done my fair share of air travel this year, and one thing that has really made it so much better, has been travelling with my TUMI TEGRA-LITE Carry on bag. It is such a great bag that is very, very light and has a really cool design. Plus, because it is a hard case, all my stuff stays exactly how I had packed it before getting on the plane. I’ve taken my TUMI with me on local trips to Cape Town and Jo’burg, and of course, it came with me on my trip to Greece and Dubai in August this year. I love how this bag glides through the airport, and I can wheel it behind me, next to me, or in front of me – which is a real bonus when trying to get through those narrow aeroplane isles! The fact that it is so lightweight means I can pack in more “stuff” on my travels. My makeup and beauty products alone tend to weigh me down on most trips, and let’s not forget the shoes – a girls’ gotta have options you know! When you have a bag that allows you to use the weight on your items and not…

Travel Light with Palmers This Holiday Season

Travel Light with Palmers This Holiday Season

This holiday season, Palmer’s have made it easier for you to travel light, by introducing their amazing products in travel-sized options. The travel-sized products look almost identical to the full sized product, only a miniature, more compact version. I absolutely love this, and the fact that you can pop it into your travel makeup bag and take up virtually no extra space, only makes it that much better. Travel sized Palmer’s are available at Dis-Chem stores nationwide and you can enjoy a smaller, sweeter tub of Palmer’s Coco Butter Formula (30g – R15.50), or one of their 50ml cream options in either Olive Butter Formula, the Original Coco Butter Formula or Coco Butter Formula for men, for only R10 each.
