If you know me, you’ll know just how much I love campaigns with strong brand messaging or a cause to them. I simply believe in moving in purpose, and with brands having such a great voice in society, I believe that they too should in some way contribute to positively shifting communities across the globe. From the messaging behind their TV Commercials, all the way to their digital campaigns. One brand which has done just that is DOVE. Many of you may have seen the #ShowUs on Instagram, and traveled all the way to London with our favorite aunty Siyanda Dzenga ( @Siyabunny ) as she attends the #DoveEvent. I have also spotted Hlulisani Ravele of YOTV fame as well as Beauty Influencer Cynthia Gwebu out in the streets of London for the Dove event too. Furthermore, influencers Lesego (@Thickleeyonce ), Mmanaka Kelobonye are also on board this beautiful campaign.…
Hey lovers! My Wednesday morning started off on a great note as I prepared myself for a lovely mid day out with H&M, for the preview of their SS 19 Studio Collection. The venue for the preview was the ever so tranquil Beechwood Gardens, which I had never been to before. I had a bit of a last minute panic about what to wear, but having seen some of the local and international fashionistas posts sporting the current Studio Collection, I cooked up the perfect outfit for the day. I absolutely love how well the SA H&M team manages to get it right ALL the time. Their attention to detail and securing the perfect locations is everything. It allows us as the consumers to tap into the world and energy they have envisioned for each particular collection. It’s an entire EXPERIENCE! Inspired by “The Glam Explorer,” the H&M Studio collection…
YouTube Music launches in South Africa Hello, lovers! I have some exciting news to share with you all. Some of you may have viewed my Insta Stories ( Follow @Iamthandolwethu ) out and about with YouTube South Africa but hadn’t quite figured out what the event was all about. Upon arrival, I was also still as clueless as everyone else in the room. All I could tell was that what ever was about to be announced was BIG. As the evening went on, the #YouTubeMusic started to make more sense as I saw some of South Africa’s biggest artists casually walking around the room. This announcement was definitely about to be BIG! As time went by, we all gathered around the most beautiful and bright stage for the surprise announcement. Yup, you guessed it! YouTube Music has finally made its way to South Africa. The evening wrapped up with the…
About a week ago, I had the opportunity of joining The Istituto Italiano Di Cultura for an exclusive fashion masterclass at Sandton Sun Hotel Conference room. The masterclass was presented by special guest, professor Eugenia Paulicelli who is from Queens College and The Graduate Center, The City University of New York. Eugenia made her way to South Africa in celebration of Italian Design Day 2019, which is celebrated every year in many different cities around the world. Different fields of design are celebrated, from interior, graphic design, to architecture. This year, in Johannesburg South Africa, the particular celebration is focused on Italian Fashion. As part of the celebration, you have until the 7th of April to journey through Sandton City’s Diamond walk to see some of the most spectacular Italian designer dresses dating back to the 1980s. Now back to fashion masterclass. I found it to be quite an insightful…
Last week I was invited to the CIROC Media Launch, as they introduced to us the CIROC Colada. The weather God’s were definitely on our side, with The Maslow hotel being the perfect location for such an event. I was also very excited upon arrival to see that NYX Cosmetics was also in the House. This meant that your girl would be looking cute right through out the event! And speaking of cute, I can’t not let you in on the fact that Melody Molale has now joined the CIROC South Africa family – what a perfect match! Congrats girl. 😉 Now back to the event… The service was absolutely great, and so was the ambiance. I was literally back tracking to December with my bestie. So for those of you who want to bring back that summer feeling and love cocktails as much as I do, I’ll be sharing…
