Jeannie D's ... Jeannie in a bottle

Jeannie D's New Fragrance

Vivacious Top Billing and Top Travel presenter Jeannie D launches her
very first Perfume "Jeannie in a bottle". Jeannie joins A-list
celebrities who already have a couple of perfumes under their
sleeves.. Celebs like Katy Perry, Rihanna and Taylor Swift.

However the making of the perfume was by fragrance house Luzi
Switzerland and then packaged by Creighton products in Durban. Forma
cosmetics and Jeannie D's partners went over 50 different combinations
in four sessions with Luzi Switzerland to come up with that one scent
that they finally agreed on. The scent is described to be oriental,
sophisticated and floral.. Sounds good to me! With a little a bit of
amber, musk, tonka bean and vanilla. While some of ya'll are itching
so hard for this perfume to hit the stores. Jeannie in a bottle will
exclusively be available at Clicks stores nationwide on the 1st of
December 2013! We absolutely can't wait.

A month ago, South African model best known for her works on
Victoria's Secret Candice Swanepoel.. Landed in South Africa to shoot
a campaign with Woolworths and charity works for Operation Smile. We
all know her as the blonde girl that struts the runway in every
designer clothing all the time and for Woolworths to star a super
model like Candice Swanepoel for this particular campaign it couldn't
be any better.

and how it perfectly fits with anything if executed perfectly and how
it squeezes its way with ease.
And with this campaign, Woolworths really did pull out all the stops
to release one the best that triggers any young South African lady to

Get the LOOK! Blue as the new Black


A little bit of colour never hurts.. In fact the colour blue changes
that. Its a fashion trend that everyone is talking about. I'm
interested in all these colours this spring/summer, they just remind
me summer is in and we have to embrace that as much as we can..
regardless of the cold weather in some places here in South Africa.
The colour blue is agreed to be the new black actually .."midnight
blue" is rumoured to be the new black.. Which I full on agree! But
there's also different and lighter shades of blue that I will strongly
emphasise on.

Adding blue to my outfit with genuine accessories.. That's fine by
me.. But wearing denim's all the time and reckoning that I've nailed
the trend aint fine. A bit of imagination never hurts.. Go crazy with
blue printed tees, shirts, shorts, hats, beanies and sneakers with
linings of blue here and there. Make it fun and go wild with the
trend.. I love going all crazy with these trends.. Of which some are
meant to be formal and all classic. I try breaking the rules to suit
my own taste and style.







It seems like the fashion runway agrees with me.. The colour blue has
been featured countless times and the designers have twitched a lil
bit and added corresponding colours to make the trend look more
appealing and summery, there's even prints that are on trend that you
can throw on to your look.. E.g florals and camouflage.. the whole
idea is to add a mix and match of colours and patterns.. Without
loosing the whole aesthetic of the colour blue.

I hope this was helpful to our fashionista gents.. Keep it bold..
fashionable and effortless. I promise doing that.. Your look will be
way to awesome for anyone's liking.

Zara Menswear Summer LookBook SS13


Zara has released a new summer/spring 2013 collection.. I have no idea
what took me so long to post about this, but anyway this menswear
collection incorporates finer materials to create a range of summer
tailoring with a strong sense of luxury.

I love how Zara accentuates with leather accessories and pairs fringed
bluchers.. That make an instant statement through out the collection.
Its classic, summery, timeless and aesthetic.

Zara is definitely a trendsetter, I like how the modern fashion trends
are introduced through out the collection, mainly the trends that are
in now.. Like monochrome (my favourite) and a vast number of prints as
well. Its a very fun trend yet still doesn't loose its emphasis of
class and of high definition with its impeccable tailoring.

Lady Gaga as the new Face of Versace


The #ARTPOP singer Lady Gaga is reportedly the brand new face of
renowned Italian brand Versace for 2014's Spring/Summer campaign.
Versace named her as the new face on Saturday. She dedicated an entire
song "donatella" to the brand's chief designer and vice president
Donatella Versace.. that shows admiration to Donatella. So its with no
surprise that Lady Gaga is the new face of the fashion house Versace..
since these two blondes are mutually friends.

The Reason why I Love Monochrome..



One of the trends that is seriously hitting the market so hard
nowadays is the Monochrome trend. Now I know we've heard so much about
this trend I'm sure some of ya'll are bored of it now.. But
regardless, I absolutely love it you can also tell by the background
of my blog that the whole black and white theme really does appeal to
me the most.







Everyone has black and white items.. Even my 3 year old baby sister
has black and white items (chuckles). But you might feel that you need
to upgrade to rock this trend perfectly.. I mean that's not bad but
you don't have to. Just look through your wardrobe and I assure you
will find one or two monochrome items.

The reason why I love it so much is that its classic, timeless and
very simple even the fashion industry disregards it as that ultimate
fashion trend because its just so easy to pull of. Its a sophisticated
and smart trend that only needs accessories to make you your look come
alive and look tasty and edgy.





I decided to share this because it really is a trend that everyone
should have, its an easy one to work with and trend that can
definitely turn heads if worn successfully.

Style Crush: Eva Longoria Graces ELLE Spain Magazine

image source: ELLE Spain


This had to be our Style Crush: 38 year old Actress Eva Longoria is
featured on the latest issue of ELLE Spain looking absolutely
beautiful in a revealing outfit. I've always been crushing on this
lady.. Just excuse the age. (Chuckles)

She has worked the red carpet countless times with her designer
outfits but now she dazzles nude and is covered with Swarovski
crystals on the latest issue of ELLE Spain.


Isn't she just beautiful?!

What do you think of the cover? Love it?

Marilyn Monroe Stars as the New Face of Chanel No.5


The late Marilyn Monroe is the new face of the renowned beauty brand
Chanel No.5. Now I know you may be heating up with questions. This is
evident because according to the Hollywood starlet's famous
declaration is that she wore nothing in bed but a spritz of Chanel's
cult fragrance. Which makes perfect sense why Marilyn Monroe is the
new face of this brand.

"You know, they ask me questions. Just an example: 'What do you wear
to bed? A pyjama top? The bottoms of the pyjamas? A night gown? ' So I
said: 'Chanel No.5' because its the truth. And yet, I don't want to
say 'nude' But its the truth.
