Not only is the LG Life Tastes Good Championships 2010 happening in the Sandton City Fountain Court from Friday 03 to Sunday 05 September, but there is also the India Food Week at the Sandton Sun Hotel that started yesterday (Monday 30 August) and runs until Sunday 05 September.

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!
