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…
