Jeannie D's ... Jeannie in a bottle

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.

The images on the other hand.. Are too hot! We love this. Do you? Let me know.

Woolworths RE: Denim Jeans x Candice Swanepoel

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.

With summer and the fun festive season on the way which we are all

excited about, Woolies creates a denim collection for Woolworths RE:

Denim jeans starring the beautiful model Candice Swanepoel. I'm sure

you ladies are already imagining yourselves in these hot denim pieces.

I love how denim always is an integral part on spring/summer trends

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

wear their denim perfectly.

American Music Awards 2013

Last night the American Music awards  2013..(AMA's) aired live at Nokia

theatre LA in Los Angeles.. The event was fully packed with America's

A-list celebrities.. They took the red carpet with a storm.. Which I

will be reviewing. But there were also great performances from One

Direction, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake and Kendrick

Lamar.. The highlight of the event was when Rihanna received the very

first AMA Icon Award.. Without a doubt Rihanna has sold more than 50

million albums! But what was more interesting is the red carpet

fashion.. Tell me who your

favourites are: ...

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

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.
