These are a few of my favourite buys

So the other day I was doing some much needed stock-taking and came across a few of my favourite buys for Autumn/Winter 2012. What struck me was that the items I really like are not only funky but functional too.


Even fashionistas like us have to dress down once in a while, so why not do it in style and add a bit of bling?  I simply loved these gold ‘shower-cap’ sneakers by Nike with the ribbon laces. They may not have the same appeal as a sexy pair of heels but if you want to funk up your active wear – look no further!
Speaking of a sexy pair of heels, these black leather courts from Aldo were my bargain of the season. Pure, understated elegance in a shoe - every girl has to have a pair of these. And because they’re so high, your calves get a workout too (score!).


Although we’d all love a pair of genuine Uggs, most of us will settle for a decent imitation. This studded pair from Woolies caught my eye immediately. They may not be the most flattering boots in the world but you can’t beat them for comfort and warmth. And let’s face it, they’re a winter staple.



Ladies, I’m sure we’ll all agree that our handbags say a lot about us. I simply fell in love with this colour block satchel from Aldo. It’s stylish, functional and goes with everything in my wardrobe. In fact, I’ve become quite lazy to change my handbag!

And then last but not least – Jimmy turns 2 this season! My patent leather Jimmy Choo boots are absolutely one of my favourite items. Bought two years ago, these designer babies are for special occasions only.


So as the well-known song goes: "When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad...I simply remember my favourite things (or buys) and then I don't feel so bad!"

Until next time...happy shopping!
