Hilfiger Denim opens in Sandton City tonight and I can't wait for another spectacular 4ElementsMedia event. Seeing as how Hilfiger Denim is Tommy's younger, edgier sister, I'm going in a dress paired with 'hard to miss' blue Superga sneakers. I'm not 30 yet, and I'm edgy, so…

Oh wow I haven't blogged in FOREVER! Sorry about that... It's just been one thing after the next. My past deadline for the magazine I edit was manic. I think I may have lost chunks of hair under the pressure, oh and I found my first grey the other day. I'm not even 30, I mean really now, what is this madness? Anyway, onto the matter at hand: The fabulous ALIEN…

I've been freezing in Joburg,I'm sure everyone else has too, but this is all about me okay. So I seriously need some warmth in my life, and what should happen just at this cold moment? Well the #NICCISUMMER15 launch at Nicci Boutique in Hyde Park Corner. I look forward to the Nicci season launches because, not only are the clothes, shoes, and handbags…

I've never been very experimental with my hair. At high school I went through a cringe red streak phase, and then after school I dabbled in blonde here and there. But I've never done anything too drastic, and leading up to my wedding (this past April) I didn't want to touch it. Also, I have to be very careful with my curly, sometimes frizzed out hair (I'm done…

Isn't Clarins just fabulous? From their much loved cult product Beauty Flash Balm (simply the best), to their luxurious makeup ranges, Clarins knows how to do it right. And now... #BRIGHTPLUS Product Range. BRIGHT PLUS INTENSIVE…

Even the stars had stars in their eyes at last week's Louis Vuitton Menswear 2016 Spring-Summer fashion show in Paris. The very talented, albeit slightly off-the-wall designer Kim Jones, (but, now what creative isn't?) presented a stand out collection in the presence of, among others, Kanye West, Zayn Malik, Joe Jonas, Jérémie Laheurte, Will Peltz, Marianne…

There was happiness (and chocolate) all round at this weekend's Italian luxe designer store, Premium V.N.T.G, launch in Melrose Arch. It was my first event I helped organise and my loyal blogger besties Kevin McLennan and Anne Dolinschek…

A couple of weeks ago I read an article on an international website about hair perfume. Rather intruigued, I asked myself, 'is this really a thing now?' Yes it is, and I must say I'm quite delighted. I'm all for quirky, fabulous new products and international brand label.m's new offering is the real deal. I mean if we can have sweet…

Just the name sets my heart a flutter. Chanel; doesn't it roll beautifully off the tongue? Soft, sensual, luxurious, confident, feminine and masculine at the same time, these are just some of the describing words that come to mind. And now comes CHANCE EAU VIVE with an advertising campaign as energising and out of the box as the scent…

Hi, my name's Julia, and I'm a chocoholic. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks? I'll have luxuriously smooth milk, white, or dark chocolate all day long if I could. And what's better than a slab of Lindt? Well... Not much really. When I heard about the new LINDT HELLO flavour range, I was like a kid in a…

I absolutely love taking photos on my iPhone (in fact it's all I use) and I'm so excited about this year's iPhoneography competition. Entries for the 5th iPhoneographySA 2015 are now open at http://myistore.co.za/iphoneography/ and will close on Friday, 28 August…

I've always been intrigued by the makeup brand Make-Up Designory (MUD). Firstly the name, MUD, I mean how quirky is that? MUD on my face? Pick me pick me! The products are also super luxurious, high end, and the range is vast and beautiful. I must admit I've never actually owned any of the products, until now that is. Last week saw the launch of South Africa's…

Remember the easy peel off pink Tinkerbell nail polish when you were younger? I do. It was then that my love for nail colour started, however I've never been good at painting my own nails. The left hand is fine, then get to the right and it's one splodgy mess. I was introduced to Sherbet Angel (a boutique…

Coming in at a close second to diamonds, makeup is a girl's best friend, well for me at least. There's nothing like a full drawer (make that drawers) of makeup to put a smile on my face. So when I recieved an email about the new Clarins makeup range - in stores in August - you can imagine how happy I was.

What a treasure trove of…

Father's Day is around the corner, 21 June to be exact. It's always a difficult one, and I struggle to think of what to get my dad. My dad lives in Cape Town, so unfortunately I hardly ever get to spend the day with him, but I still think about him - hence this post.

I absolutely love Africology. Not only is it proudly local, but it's…

I'm a HUGE Thierry Mugler fan. Alien is my signature scent, but I like to dabble in a bit of Angel every now and then too. Angel Eau Sucree Eau de Toilette is the new sweet treat for women. Sweets and treats? My ears prick up when I hear those words.

This limited edition sweet, tangy, luscious fragrance will be available from 17 August…

I must say I've never been much of an online shopper... But I can see myself getting into it very easily especially when I'm introduced to someone like Brett Robson. 

Brett is a well-known South African fashion blogger turned fashion designer of her first collection ‘BRETT ROBSON’ With her fashion blog, Fashion by Brett Robson being influential…

When it comes to beauty products I'm a typical girl, meaning I just LOVE them! I'll try anything and everything, sometimes my skin doesn't like that too much, but it forgives me in the end. Here's a little tale about BABOR...

A while ago the wonderful Danielle Franco (bushtelegraph publicity) invited me to to the launch…
