It is amazing how one’s decor style evolves over time, especially when I think back to some of the cringe-worthy things I used to like! A recent decision to declutter, has found me moving towards a more paired down, minimalist home decor style. I am in the process of updating my living area, so I thought I would share some of my inspirations with you. These are a few of my favourite items from Superbalist, for my Summer Decor Update.

Candice Swanepoel for RE Jeans
You may have seen the most recent Woolworths Mag and caught a glimpse of beauty, Candice Swanepoel, gracing the cover. One word ~ “Stunning!”
Candice Swanepoel was recently selected to represent the RE brand, not only because of her status as a successful South African model, but also for her look, attitude, and achievements, which were well aligned with those of the brand.
For those of you who do not know, RE is a well-known brand of South African authentic jeanswear, exclusive to Woolworths.
In my opinion Candice is the perfect fit for the RE Jeans campaign! I love how she epitomizes the spirit of the modern woman, feminine and elegant with just the right amount of “rock-chic”edge!
I am not sure about you but I love denim, in fact it is my go-to everyday wardrobe staple! Denim has always been one of my fashion essentials for summer and this season is no exception, with it still being a big trend. Denim-on-denim is a key look – the iconic denim jacket layered with a denim shirt, paired with washed and ‘worn & torn’ denim jeans.
For a key casual look this summer, pair your faded boyfriend jeans with a pretty top, cropped kaftan, baby-doll racer backs or a lace-backed T. Dress this look up for evening with a cropped jacket. If you are heading to the beach, sexy boyfriend and Bermuda shorts in authentic denim or sexy poly cotton shorts, are the way to go. Complete this look with a graphic or printed tee and you are good to go!
If it is a more ‘glam’ look you are going for, especially for the holiday ‘dress-up’season, then black is the way to go. Pair black shorts or coated embellished skinny jeans with a metallic embroidered mesh and sequin top.
To shop the RE Denim collection you can visit the Woolworths online store or visit a Woolworths store closest to you, to get your denim fashion-fix!
Re-fined
As you know I am a bit of a shopaholic and was particularly fascinated when I heard about Re-fined.com! Re-fined is a new-comer to the on-line shopping scene and the brain child of Georgina O’Connell.
Re-fined has just recently launched to the public and offers shoppers a unique, on-line, shopping experience. It is a place where enjoying and acquiring beautiful things is effortless and pleasurable. You will find items for him, her, for little people and your garden and home, giving you far more variety to make your shopping experience that much easier! Re-fined stocks one of my favourite local jewellery brands, Silver Fig, which you may remember me blogging about – I absolutely love their designs!
“We understand that people have limited time and don’t always have access to the physical shops but still want to acquire desirable product and design to express their sense of style, hence the creation of a cyber mall with one check out point” ~ Georgie.
With a background in design, a love of beautiful things and an appreciation of talent, Georgie became acutely aware of the magnificent products and design items, that come out of South Africa. She also saw the need to make these Proudly South African products, more easily accessible to the world. The main purpose of Re-fined is to showcase South African products and designs, both locally and internationally.

Nail Polish Trends – My "likes" for Spring 2011
My Fashion File – Nail Polish” likes” for Spring 2011
Seeing as spring is in the air, I have started planning my spring/summer wardrobe and this would not be complete, without the addition of beautifully groomed nails. So I have put together a mood board of my favourite colours – I love all the nude shades that are the trend at the moment, as well as shades of grey which are still popular. Essie ,which is my favourite brand, also have their amazing range of pastel shades – one in particular that I love is called “Lady Like”, an elegant soft mauve colour. This brand is my pick for a few reasons but most importantly their polish actually lasts!
So what are you waiting for – get shopping and find your favourites. I would love to hear what shades you are wearing and what your favouites for the season are! 🙂
