Look of the Day
Sibusiso was spotted at Sandton City donning the sophisticated and refined urban look. He looks stylishly casual in a cream jersey, beige scarf, brown leather jacket, fitted jeans and dark brown shoes.
The "Refined Gentleman" is one of the key looks this season and Sibusiso is a prime example of this.
To get this look, go for leather jackets, trench coats, scarves, hats (we love fedoras, newsboy hats, ski caps and bowlers hats) and vests worn over button-down shirts. Try stick to neutral colours in your key pieces, but you can throw in a splash of colour in your accessories.
Versatility is the main essence of the look and it lets you go from the office, to the mall, to evening drinks and dinner in style and looking "the part".
Most Wanted
We love this season’s off-duty look. Call it chic combat or utility, the stores are awash on olive green and khaki for a very fashionable army.
We love Woolworths’ carefully edited selection of key items and the cuffed trousers and combat palette of their new summer must-haves had us running for the rails.
While you’re there hunting down your slub cotton teeshirts and casual trousers, don’t forget to check out their new collection of statement heels.
They are hot off the international catwalks and prices start at around R300, which is super fantastic in anyone’s book!

Please help.... need to try a product that I can spray on (if possible) to alleviate a dehydrated skin.
Also looking for night creams and eye cream (anti wrinkle) for dehydrated skin. I'm 46 years old and I want to change products (been using ROC and MAC for last 6 years)
Help?
Subject - No they don't!

It is a nice store, but they do not carry the full Nike range. The Australian kit, for example, is Nike, but they do not carry it. I haven't checked what else is missing, but only one example is required to disprove the claim of stocking the complete collection.
Update: After posting this, I thought I should give them a call. It turns out that they have now got the Aussie kit in the store. I had no choice but to purchase a shirt to show my appreciation. ;)
Subject - World Cup

Great to see Nike take a green stance for a change. The 2010 Fifa World Cup is, I guess the best time to do that...lots of publicity.
Subject - Art etc

My fave african animal is definitely the Zebra!
i love the patterns of the stripes, and the fact that every zebra has different stripes. I am also a big horse lover... so zebras have always been special to me, since i was a little girl.
