Pool Party Cover Up



I am not sure who else would wear a silver grey SILK tunic as a cover up for their animal print bikini around the pool. But it was that sort of party. Note the classic Aviators.

Dresses with Lace Trim



In keeping with international trends, these ladies have found ways to demonstrate the lace detailing trend, without waiting until the winter season.
The photos were taken at a wonderfully glamorous pool party that I attended on Sunday afternoon after getting back to Cape Town. The location is a secret, but I will post some more pics from the party tomorrow.

Store of the Day: Urban Apothecary






There could be one reason alone that I encourage you to get along to the Urban Apothecary at Wembley Square, and that is the range of Cowshed products that they have in store. I am a total devotee of this range of natural therapeutic goodies, and have used them for about four years, since discovering the salon in London - and subsequently spent every other Sunday afternoon there. Now they have come to SA, and for all you lazy or grumpy cows, this will be your salvation. And for the boys, there is a bullocks range as well.
The service is friendly and helpful and you can get Model Co, this works and Radial skincare products in store as well. Prices are on the upper side of reasonable but make for extra special gifts for your friends, or yourself.
I have included a pic of my own bathroom cabinet to prove to you that I am pretty stocked up. Yes, in a slightly OCD way.
A Style Guide 4/5 for Urban Apothecary.

It really is happening folks. And if you need any further proof, check out these two ladies from fashion week. Both in genuine vintage 80s get ups. And rocking them too.

Jenny in Tiaan Nagel


This is a wonderful Tiaan Nagel dress and a cute Black Coffee shrug. Jenny is a stylist and knows a thing or two about throwing together a cool outfit.

Chloe Townsend


Chloe is the designer of the incredible range of Missibaba leather goods. She helped to accessorise the Stefania Morland show last night at Audi Joburg Fashion Week.
