Look of the Day
This Fashionista turned heads in Sandton City with an outfit that looks as though it came straight out of a fashion magazine – effortlessly stylish with just the right amount of accessories to give a look that is classy, sophisticated and understated. She combines a white sleeveless shirt with a black skirt, a white and gold waist-belt, black tights, black pumps a gold necklace and a chocolate-brown handbag.
To get her look, keep your outfit simple with just a few eye-catching accessories. Many Fashionistas associate the word ‘simple’ with the meaning of ‘plain’ or ‘boring’. Take one look at our Hot Look of the week and you’ll realise that this common thought is certainly not true. Think clean lines, simple silhouettes and a monochromatic palette.
For this minimalist trend, less is definitely more.

It is here. Yes, we feel like we’ve been saying that a lot this year but this time we mean beautiful summer and not the beautiful game. And with summer comes the scent of the season.
We love Clarins fragrances for their fresh and uplifting notes and their spanking new release, Eau des Jardins is the business. Like all Clarins treatment fragrances, it combines plant fragrances and aromatherapy techniques and boasts 10 essential oils and three bud extracts.
We’re not quite sure what this means exactly but agree that it sounds mighty impressive and smells even better – florally, fruit and fresh and a scent that translates easily from day to night. Love it. Oh, and did we mention that the bottle is man sized. Love that too.
