BATA – The Shoe Brand To Watch
I recently spent a couple of days in Prague, attending Bata Fashion Weekend. Essentially I was there to learn more about this world renowned shoe brand, but also to learn out about the exciting things that are in the pipeline for the Bata Brand Internationally.
View Post4 Classic Winter Boot Styles Every Woman Should Own
I feel like it’s been ages since I spoke about shoes! I mean really, really spoke about shoes! A whole post dedicated to my favourite accessory on earth! I’ll admit my shoe-wearing days have become very casual of late, but that doesn’t mean I don’t still love a good pair! With winter fast approaching, it’s time to start thinking about what goes on your feet. So I’ve put together my list of 4 styles of winter boots every woman should own to help you make smart decisions when investing in a new pair this year. My theory when it comes to buying new shoes is…

Black and white is anything but basic! It’s a style staple and in today’s scoop, I’ll show you some bold black and white trends from DUNE London to make your look catwalk ready! Are ya ready? Put your feet into one of these beauties… Although all white heels are a hot trend right now, I just can’t see myself getting past the mental block I have with white shoes.

View PostSummer Trends from Dune London – Citron POP!
Today I’m excited to share part one of my favourite summer shoe and handbag trends from Dune London, featuring mouthwatering pieces, perfect for a bright and happy mood! Summer 2014 is all about adding fun to your look with bold accessories, splashed in citrus tones, bright blues and modern pinks!

If you’re scared of going too colourful in your clothing, a bold, bright bag or pair of sexy heels can make your look current, without taking you too far out of your comfort zone. Stilettos, flats, block heels and…

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…

Scroll down to the end for a fabulous Giveaway! I’m a summer baby through and through but lets face it, dressing up is so much chic-er in winter! And I’m super amped for the chill, since there are so many fabulous things coming our way this winter. Like these gorgeous shoes, handbags and accessories from Dune London! I mean, whoaaah!

Another winter essential is leopard print and these pieces tick…
View PostNostalgia
So, I’m giving away my age here, but anyway… About 17 or so years ago (eek), I used to rock one pair of shoes and one pair only. Can you guess? Dr Martens! Back in the day, we used to call them “Docs”, and I’m pretty sure that nickname still applies! We also used to refer to the styles as “eight ups”, “ten ups” or “fourteen ups” – do you remember that? It was a loooong time ago, but I can also remember that you had very few options (in SA at least); black or oxblood. My first pair of…
View PostSparkle, Celebrate, Scintilla
I’m counting down the days to celebration season! And, what better way to bid au revoir to 2013 and bonjour to 2014, than with a glass make that a bottle of 2003 Scintilla, J.C Le Roux’s award winning bubbly, created in the signature Cap Classique style (Méthode Cap Classique). So, although Scintilla is not technically “champagne” – since anything that isn’t made in Champagne France can’t really be called champagne – the production process of J.C Le Roux’s Méthode Cap Classique’s follows the same style that the French folk use when the make Champagne. In other words Scintilla, it’s not simply carbonated wine. It sparkling…
View PostLiving Le Good Life in Louboutins
I have wanted a pair of Louboutins for the longest time! I’ve had an abnormal fixation with them since the first time I saw them – the little red sole just speaks to my soul! It always has and it always will. Sadly for me, Louboutins on a bloggers budget… exactly not likely to happen! But oh, it did! Thanks to J.C Le Roux! To launch their pink La Fleurette Non-Alcoholic bubbly, J.C Le Roux sent me as well as ten other bloggers, a press pack that came with a challenge… to create a post that would express how we’d live #LeGoodLife. The prize… a pair…
View PostI Want, I need
There are few things in life where I have little self control… Chocolate would be one of them, but shoes… shoes are my real weakness! I could happily have rags to wear, as long as I was wearing my rags in a pair of fabulous shoes! Sky-high killer shoes that is! Like these beauts from ZARA. Aren’t they just stunning!? I spotted them on the ZARA website, and have been going into store, eagerly awaiting their arrival.
