Win Evolve Paint Hampers worth R1500

This competition is now closed ~ see the winners list to find out who won!

It always amazes me how simple it is to transform a room, with a simple coat of paint! I am actually in the process of doing a mini makeover on our guest loo, there is nothing wrong with the space structurally but it is in need of a bit of TLC. The walls are a neutral beige and although there is nothing wrong with neutral, it can be a bit boring! I feel like it is time to personalise the space!

Choosing a wall colour is such a personal thing and bold colours can transform a room completely. If you are afraid of being too bold, a great way to introduce colour, is to have an accent wall and paint one wall in a brighter or bolder colour! The options are endless and redecorating can be lots of fun!

If mellow and blissful colours appeal to your senses, then you will just love the cosy new hues in Evolve’s latest paint range, for autumn and winter. Specially selected to reflect the tranquillity of nature settling into a slower rhythm, the muted browns, cheeky green, musky pink and two warm additions in the range, hint at taking it easy and slowing down as the seasons change. Besides the two new sensational tints, Rambling Vine and Desert Flight, the Autumn/Winter range includes five additional popular colours, from the existing ranges.

All Evolve paint comes standard in translucent packaging. The guess work is removed when selecting colours – what you see is what you get. The full Evolve range has over 30 colours to choose from, so compiling a winning palette that is blissful from floor to ceiling, has never been easier. Evolve has a 10-year quality guarantee on its top coat; it’s lead and solvent free; Zero VOC; and made from 70% natural organic materials. It’s also water-based, low-odour and quick drying: kinder on you and the environment.

If DIY is your thing you will be super excited to know that I have two Evolve hampers, worth R1500, up for grabs. The hamper includes: A choice of *Evolve Paint (one of the two new colours), Ceiling Paint, Primer and Paint accessories. This is the perfect prize to “warm up” your winter.

Label Collections 2014 Winter Range {plus a giveaway}

You may remember a post which I did at the beginning of the year, featuring the Label Collections summer fashion range. Well I am super excited to bring you a sneak peek of their latest 2014 Winter Collection!

Label Femme:

I am in love with this blouse! It is understated elegance at its best! This soft and semi sheer georgette blouse is contrasted by the pleather collar but still has a über chic look. Here it is teamed it with Femme embossed neo-preen fitted pants and heeled lace ups to complete the look.

The bomber jacket is definitely a season must have! Team it with a circle skirt and blouse or with a fitted tunic and leggings. It is a super easy jacket to style and basically team with anything. The Femme bomber jacket features a metal zip and pleather trim at the collar and the pockets. A trendy addition to any wardrobe!

The waterfall jacket remains a wardrobe staple season after season. Here it is teamed with the Femme basic T shirt dress with ruching detail at the sides.

As well as the Femme Range, Label Collections creates Lamére, a trendy fashion range for the mom-to-be. There is, after all, no reason pregnant woman should not be fashionable!

Label Lamére:

This is the perfect tunic to team with leggings or your favourite skinny jeans. Pair with boots or pumps for a stunning look. The soft viscose lycra just falls beautifully over the bump.

In my opinion every woman should own a trench coat! The Label signature trench coat is the perfect flattering fit but yet remains comfortable and stylish. It is fully lined and includes this season on trend “leather” trim detail. Above the trench is teamed it with a Femme basic T with copper trim detail at sleeves and hem and full length bengaline pants. The pants are a fantastic and comfortable fit with fully functional fly and extended tab. It features elastic panels at the side which allows for easy and comfortable expansion as the belly grows.

Well I hope you are as excited as I am about the gorgeous Label Collections 2014 Winter Range!
