WHAT I'M LOVING AT THE MOMENT...


My pony hair animal print slip ons - not only comfortable but literally goes with everything and is super fashionable .

My LV bag - big enough to fit all my mommy essentials while always looking glamorous and stylish.


My black biker leather jacket - again a classic that goes with everything. From maxi dresses to skirts to jeans…edginess with style.



I'm addicted to simple white t-shirts at the moment - elegant and classic.


My absolute favourite lipstick that I wear everyday - Black cherry…I love the rich colour and how it makes a statement.


This is hands down the most indulgent home product I have ever used and I absolutely love it!  It heats up on application and is just heavenly.


Oxblood nail polish - always on my nails and toes. Always...



Mint tea with honey - yummy with major health benefits.  I try and have a cup before bed...

SHHH...IT'S A SECRET...


10 Things you didn't know about me…yes, I'm about to share!

Besides my obvious love of fashion, shoes and all things glamour…some of the things I'm about to share the people closest to me might already know…my husband, maybe my mom, some family and a select few friends…sooo here I am…this is me!


1. I used to be a flight attendant/cabin crew…for 10 years!!!

2. Im very impatient…


3. I have a slight magazine addiction…Elle, Marie Claire, Instyle, Vogue and Haper's Bazaar are always on my bedside table.

4. My favourite colours are maroon and purple.

5. I love vanilla lattes…roses and scented candles in spicy aromas…


6. I am NO domestic goddess…but I'm learning…

7. I don't like things out of place…I'm always fluffing a pillow, smoothing the bedlinen, straightening the hand towels or moving everything a centimetre here and there till its the way I want it! Slightly obsessed I know! Especially now I have small kiddies I have relaxed a little bit…only a little…

8. I'm really bad at answering my phone…really bad! I'm not much of a phone person.


9. I'm in love with Chanel…everything!

10. I'm addicted to Coke Zero, don't drink any water and not into exercise! (Not proud of this one…)


Well…this is me. The good, the not so good and a little bit bad?

What are the 10 things that define you and make you who you are? Are you brave enough to write them down? If only for yourself?

The way I see it is…I always try and add a little bit of Glamour with a touch of Style and a whole lot of Fashion to everything I do…even if I don't drink water and do it holding a Coke Zero!

LIFE'S LITTLE LUXURIES...

Once a month a have a manicure and pedicure. I use Shellac as I hate painting my nails, waiting for it to dry and then ultimately smudging it! Oh and chipped nailpolish....I can't deal!

So, every month the nail technician will give me loads of colour wheels to choose a colour from...everything imaginable, every colour you can think of. Every month I say to myself I'm going for something different this time...all excited about my new fashionable colour I'm going to choose...what do I do??? I always go for the same colour! Always! Pinotage...a rich red wine/oxblood colour...I love it. And off course my toes and nails must match. Always!!!


At my last visit I couldn't help but overhear the lady next me telling her nail technician that she had to remove her nailpolish...the colour wasn't her and it made her "angry" looking at it and just upset her entire day and that she just couldn't function until it got changed!!! Extreme you might think??? It's just nailpolish I hear you say??? To some yes...but I had to laugh to myself and could totally relate to this lady as I am exactly the same!

I once ventured away from my usual...and decided on a beautiful Tiffany blue...I was "blue" and annoyed for about a week and then decided I couldn't stand it any longer  and went back and changed it to my usual Pinotage and instantly I could breath again...


Have you ever felt like this? Can you relate? Or do you think it's just a little bit silly...

I'm thinking that life's little luxuries have turned into my life's little necessities...nothing like Pinotage to brighten up any old day! And I mean both kinds!!!
