Kim Gray Stylist Fashion Decor Lifestyle Cape Town South Africa

 

Being on a complete budget, saving for my trip to the East, I have had to be creative in reinventing old clothes and embracing them and making them “new!” Accessories work a charm, but why not go for buttons – replace the grey buttons on your old grey coat with some coloured buttons or add a lace frill! Velvet ribbon is also a great detail trend on clothes at the moment!

I loved these lace print buttons I found on style files  by designer laura Walker. They can be bought on glimpse.com.

Also see ribbon on  www.angelaliguori.com

  

I thought these images where just beautiful by Stylist Rebecca Thus I found on orange beautiful . And it’s just folding paper and adding ribbons. Great Idea for a shoot or for wedding decor!

I found beautiful ribbon locally at Bargain Corner in Wynberg – 021 762 0648. There is much fun to be had in this little shop!

 

 

Just because it’s winter, we can’t neglect our paling coats! So go to the brand new Crabtree & Evelyn Concept Store at the V&A Waterfront  and try lavish moisturizers from ranges like their Naturals Botanical Range. Avocado Butter, Olive and Basil Body Butter being one of  the Naturals combinations. Sounds Heavenly and it is rich in antioxidant grape seed and olive oils.

I think the most gorgeous of all is the India Hicks Range – Burn this 100 hr candle on a Sunday afternoon or while having friends over for cocktails and transform your living space into an exotic Island haven with scents of Casuarinas trees, palm leaves, orange blossoms and sea air. The Spider lily Body Cream is on Oprah’s favourites list!

I must say I didn’t know much about golf or golf suppliers before this shoot.. so I learnt a lot from shop assistants and had to Google a few stores I must admit! I had fun doing the set design and keeping to a colour theme. Golf + is a brand new publication at Touchline media.

  

Wow, I know chunky knits are big, but take a look at designer Sandra Backlund’s website – her design is incredible! I love the clean and sculptural images!
