Online shopping find: Cashmere & Kaye

By on 05 February 12    Comments: (2)

I’m crazy about scarves. Oh yes, I am. I’ve got a collection that includes everything from silks to chunky wools, soft modals, summer cotton and cashmere. LOVE. THEM. ALL. And adding one to an outfit instantly upgrades your look. Too easy. If you have a similar addiction to scarves then you’re probably going to love [...]

What if you logged on one night and your blog just wasn’t there?

The title of this post is designed to alert, not alarm you. On Tuesday night I went to bed with my iPad, as I do every night. Opened up my blog reader app and started catching up on the blogs I follow every day. I clicked through to this post on Crashing Red and promptly sent [...]

5 for Friday: Valentine’s Day gifts you’d love to receive

By on 03 February 12    Comments: (10)

I’m going to be upfront with you. I LOVE Valentine’s Day. I love the schmoochy, schmoochyness of it. I love that it brings with it the perfect excuse to drink champagne on a school night. I love that a mundane mid-week meal can be turned into scallop risotto … because it’s Valentine’s Day. Mind you, [...]

Yep, according to a survey of 7000 people, Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream is the number one beauty product in the just announced 2012 Product of the Year Awards. If you’re [...]

Three reasons why a facial should be on your must-do list

By on 02 February 12    Comments: (20)

It’s been over a month since I had the facial I’m posting about today. Why wait, you ask? Well, there was this little thing called Christmas and an attempt to have a part-time break but that wasn’t all. With this facial, I wanted to test its long-term benefits. I wanted to see if it would [...]

5 things I learned from taking an Instagram photo every day

By on 31 January 12    Comments: (31)

I’ve made it. It’s Day 31. The last day of the first month of the year. I was thinking that the month had really flown by but it hasn’t really. The smallish hangover I work up with on January 1 is but a fond, distant memory. As too are those lazy, hazy days of beachy [...]

Guest post: 7 ways to save money on fashion

By on 30 January 12    Comments: (19)

Editor’s note: Sorry for the late post today but I think my guest blogger will be ok with the reason. I was up late last night sorting out my financials. Just writing the word financials is enough to make me come over all dizzy. But I’ve said it, I’ve done it (sorted them, I mean) [...]

It’s no secret I’m a fan of accessories and all sorts of jewellery. To me, they are the icing on the cake to your outfit. My motto is to always walk out the door wearing at least ONE accessory. This is the simplest approach to accessorising. A great thing to adopt should you not know [...]

Social media and your blog in 2012

By on 28 January 12    Comments: (46)

I would not have a blog without social media. Well, that’s not quite true. I would HAVE a blog but I doubt whether I’d have that many readers. I learned early on in this blogging game that we have numerous social media networks at our disposal to help us market our blogs and let others [...]

5 for Friday: Swimwear for those NOT seeking skimpy

By on 27 January 12    Comments: (31)

Let’s talk girl to girl here … there’s not a lot of fabric standing between your body and the change room mirror when you’re shopping for swimsuit. It’s a fitting room situation designed to bring all our body issues together for one giant pity party for one. I’m not much for pity parties so before [...]
