Allora

I went to the most charming restaurant in Franschhoek the other day called 'Allora'. A divine menu, great company and good wine all made for a rather fabulous evening. It also provided an opportunity to sport my new gold leather jacket from Studio W.

I paired this wonderfully versatile item with a white blouse from Foschini (one of my last year's finds). The awesome bow detail on the front is of course why I love it!

Like with any good creation, from buildings to make-up, the foundation is important. My dark blue skinnies from Forever New were the perfect base - nice and tight but completely discreet.

And to round off what turned out to be a pretty chic ensemble, my trusty, much-loved tan courts from Aldo. Still one of my favourites after almost three years of friendship.

Franschhoek really is a pretty place, so next time you feel like doing something different why not take a drive out that way and be sure to pop into Allora.

Until next time...happy shopping

Sushi. Cocktails. Neon.

Sushi, cocktails and a good ol' chin-wag with two of my oldest friends at the V&A's stylish Sevruga restaurant - that's how I roll on a Tuesday afternoon. And one's definitely got to do it in style!

One of my favourite looks this season is the sleeveless blouse with collar detail. I bought this neon coral ovoid blouse at the YDE sale and paired it with a black tregging from Studio W. It must be said that these trousers are pure magic and are certainly up there as one of my best buys!

I absolutely adore stud detail on anything from bags to shirts to shoes, so the studded collar on this blouse totally made me swoon. And my trusty patent black and leopard print flats from Woolies completed the 'relaxed yet stylish' look perfectly.

But the best accessory of all - a pair of D&G shades. No self-respecting fashionista should be without them!

Until next time...happy shopping
