Slaughter & Fox Sunglasses Style Diary

Slaughter & Fox

My eyes are extremely light-sensitive, so wearing Sunglasses is a must for me. I have owned many pairs over the years, from super expensive brands to rather inexpensive ones. Of late other priorities have meant that a new pair of sunnies is quite far down the list. Needless to say, when Slaughter & Fox approached me to try out a pair of their sunglasses, I was not going to turn down the offer! [Read more…]

Classy Winter Fashion with Daniel Wellington

Daniel Wellington

Winter is not my favourite season, mostly because I truly dislike being cold! One positive I have found, however, is Winter Fashion. Warm jackets and coats, scarves and stylish boots, almost make the cold grey weather bearable. Naturally, every look requires accessories, so I thought I would share some inspiration featuring my new Daniel Wellington watch.  [Read more…]

The Casual Fashion Edit – Denim

Casual Fashion

There is not usually much need to dress up for the weekday school run but I still like to look good. The thing is, weekday fashion should not require too much effort but deliver maximum effect. In essence Casual Fashion should be understated but you should still look groomed and well put together. [Read more…]

Daniel Wellington Dapper St Mawes Watch

Daniel Wellington

To many people, a watch is simply used for timekeeping, but to me, it has always been so much more. I have developed a particular affection for watches and have collected quite a few over the years. When Daniel Wellington contacted me about a possible collaboration, I could not have been more excited. In fact, I have had my eye on one of their watches for a while now! [Read more…]

Shimansky Christmas Gift Guide

Shimansky

I was recently invited on a tour of the stunning Shimansky Showroom and Diamond Muesum in the Clock Tower, in the V&A Waterfront. I felt like a wide-eyed kid at Christmas! To be surrounded by such beauty and perfection, was somewhat of a surreal experience…

Shimansky

The Shimansky brand owes its success to founder, designer and creator, Yair Shimansky. After embarking on a career in the jewellery industry in Japan as a young man, Yair started his own business selling jewellery at a Durban market. He then went on to open his first store in 1994.

In just two decades, the brand has expanded to include several jewellery stores located throughout South Africa. Shimansky has their own jewellery design and manufacturing workshop, a diamond cutting and polishing factory. You will also find Cape Town’s only dedicated Diamond Museum, based in the Clock Tower Precinct, at the Waterfront.

As well as finding out about the history of diamonds and discovering more about the Shimansky journey, I had the opportunity of viewing some of the most exquisite pieces of jewellery! After my first hand experience and as part of my Holiday Gift Guide, I thought I would share a few of Yair Shimansky handpicked gift ideas.

Shimansky Christmas Gift Guide

Below you will find a gorgeous selection of the world’s most desired gemstones, Diamonds and Tanzanite. Not only the birthstone of December, Tanzanite is also the perfect Festive Season gift as it is 1000 times rarer than diamonds – making this the gift that will undoubtedly be remembered. Nothing can create more happiness—and bring you closer to the girl in your life—than the perfect gift, given in the perfect way.

Habits Fashion Meets Wine at De Grendel

Habits Fashion Meets Wine

Habits Fashion-Meets-Wine

Last week I attended a fashion event with a difference! Habits Fashion Meets Wine, held at De Grendel. It was my first ever fashion and wine pairing! What a great idea – two of my favourite things in one room!

Habits Fashion-Meets-Wine

Auric Auto, very kindly, chauffeured guests from Claremont, out to De Grendel Wine Estate, in Durbanville, where the event was held. I must admit it was a rather fun experience being chauffeured – something I could quite possibly get used to!

The Habits Fashion Meets Wine, was also a celebration of the new tasting lounge at De Grendel. While the tasting room at De Grendel offers both wine tasting and platters, the new stylish tasting lounge, is exclusively reserved for wine tasting only.

Habits Fashion Meets Wine

We started off festivities with a delicious glass of De Grendel MCC Brut – not entirely sure that there is a better way to start your day!

Habits Fashion-Meets-Wine

After a brief welcome, it was over to iconic fashionista Jenny le Roux from Habits. For those of you who do not know, Habits has been a fashion institution in Cape Town, for as long as I can remember!

Habits Jenny Leroux

The fashion items, which were paired with various De Grendel wines, were from the Habits Fashion Week 2015 Collection. Each garment selected was thoughtfully paired with a De Grendel wine, which mirrored or enhanced the character of the design.

Below you can see the gorgeous Habits designs, from Fashion Week 2015, each displayed with their wine pairing.

Habits Fashion-Meets-Wine

The beautiful Variegated Stripe Satin Dress below, was my absolute favourite. It was perfectly paired with the De Grendel Chardonnay. Both the design and the wine are rich and full, with an air of elegance and sophistication!

Another favourite design of mine was the Emperor Satin Caroline Skirt, below, worn with a crisp White Shirt. It was paired with the De Grendel Koetshuis Sauvignon Blanc. The Koetshuis Sauvignon Blanc grapes are handled differently, in the vineyards as well as in the cellar, to ensure a bigger and a bolder wine. This makes it a perfect pairing with the design of the Caroline Skirt, which is bold and dramatic, while still projecting a feeling classic style!
