My fix from The Fix !

By

Here are a few fashion must haves all chosen from The Fix Autumn catalogue . Jacket/ throw over :  As it starts getting a bit chilly a good jacket / throw over will save your day. Autumn doesn’t mean be grumpy with your fashion ! It’s all about how you style up what you have in your wardrobe with a unique piece. Tassels are clearly still highly relevant in fashion & I totally love them , so this Fringe suede gilet is a win for those breezy days when you don’t want to over do it with a huge jacket. A fallaway jacket is another fashion favorite of mine . It’s really easy going and not too serious worn with a Tee and a pair of good jeans .

Thursday 17 March I had the amazing opportunity to be one of the very first fashion addicts to get my fix from “The Fix “.  The new kid on the block under the Foschini group brings you a fresh urban look which houses a variety of fashion desirables for ladies. From shoes, bags to amazing pieces as well as jewellery to add an extra touch to your entire look. We visited The Fix at Canal Walk, Cape Town .Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed with drinks and real life mannequins which added such a unique and tangible experience to who “The Fix lady ” is. The ambiance was great as we had our VIP shopping experience with stolen dance moments in between thanks to the lovely jams being played by DJ TinyT. There were also pizza bites and sweet treats floating around, being served by ladies dressed by The Fix. Because no one wants…

#Get2getha

By

Last night I had the pleasure of being invited to an evening of yummy treats at the PRIMI Gateway #Get2getha. We got to kick start the evening with a good background tell all from one of the owners of PRIMI about the new wood fired pizza technology and self rotation system which ensures consistent heat right around the pizza which burns at 400 degrees for 1,5 minutes ! Peew , let me not bore you with all this information but just know that they simply produce the best pizza in the healthiest form . We then got to taste their cocktails of which I of course chose a delicious mocktail ( non- alcoholic ) . Needless to say , it looked incredibly appetizing as it tasted. The evening went on and we were treated to our first course which had a variety of eats. From saucy ribs and fries to the…

Monday Motivation

By

Don’t hold yourself back by doubting that which is invested in you, that which you have been assigned to. Be sure and confident, unapologetically so, of the vision which has been planted and rooted so deeply in you. Behind every door you will be dealt a different set of cards. Your job is simply to remain calm and make the best of the cards dealt. Celebrate your successes and be further motivated by your failures as well as the milestones reached. Reflections of the past can offer you greater perspective. Taking that time to reflect can help you map out the destination you wish to get to and figure out the little roads which will get you there. Live beyond your day-to-day feelings s, life beyond yourself !
