The Camel Coat (and a Giveaway!)

Every girl needs a camel colour winter coat. It is the ultimate winter staple and makes any outfit look pulled together and effortlessly chic. I've been looking all over for one and finally I've got an affordable one to share with you.

Mr Price have a fabulously cheap and chic option in stock right now. It is the perfect length and with a very slim fit - making you look longer and leaner. Warm, chic and thinner - Bonus.
If you needed any more convincing than that, and the outfit-inspiring the collage of outfits above, my peeps at Mr Price are also giving you lucky ducks a chance to win a winter statement coat. Its oh-so-easy, you just need to hop on over HERE or click on the image below.

And in case you're impatient like me (I've ordered my camel coat from Mr P already), you can peruse their amazing selection of coats and jackets HERE. These are my favourites below:

Each of these is only R329,99!

Splurge vs Steal

Sometimes you see something in store and think its okay, but not your thing. Then a little while later you'll see that same thing, or something similar on someone else and becomes something you absolutely have to have in your life. This is the case in today's Splurge vs Steal post. I saw these Jenni Kayne flats last year on holiday and thought they were pretty - and pretty bloody pricey too and moved on.
Then my all-time favourite bloggess, Emily Schuman, from Cupcakes and Cashmere picked them up and featured them in numerous style posts and I became obsessed with finding something locally that came close. And I came up empty handed and down trodden. Here are some of her posts featuring some of the chicest flats I have ever seen.

After all these months, I have finally found an alternative. The Thurman pony hair slipper from Stylemology. And they deliver to your door. Bonus, no mall trawl for these babies.
The Jenni Kayne ones are sold out - in case you were actually contemplating dropping six grand on a pair of shoes. So your only option is the Thurman pair from Stylemology. To be honest, I prefer their full slipper as opposed to the JK pointy flats. Probably because they are more casual and that suits my day-to-day work life a little better than the points would.
For R899, they are yours - available now.

Life via iPhone

I have been a busy beetle of late. Work has been surprisingly manic - not complaining. But it has made blogging difficult because by the time I get home I am ready to crash! That coupled with events and special occassions, a bout of tummy flu - it is definitely time for a spa day!

That being said, I have been thoroughly spoilt. Last week I was invited to spend a night at Tintswalo Atlantic in Hout Bay for their Winter Wedding event. I found myself planning my dream wedding/vow renewal - I have never seen a venue that needs so little added to it to make it into a dream wedding. The natural beauty of the seaside location will take your breath away. The decor is on another level and you literally only need to add fairy lights and some flowers and the rest is perfect as it is. I'll do a full post on the venue later this week. I really cannot wait to share more about it.

We also survived a camping weekend two weeks ago. In fact, I loved it. Camping in winter was a great excuse to bring out the bright red Hunter wellies and stomp around in the dirt. As always, with my group of crazies, things got out of hand and there was fire-side dancing (booze induced of course) and very childish behaviour - we're sorry we had to shave off your goatee Tom. A bet is a bet ;-)

On a random note - Marshmallow Fluff is popping up on our shelves. So far I've discovered it at YuppieChef, Dischem, Spar and Sweets from Heaven. I can eat an entire jar of this stuff in one sitting. It is one of my favourite indulgences, and very much not Tim Noakes approved.

This past weekend was payday - can you tell? I hit up a few of my favourite places, and also finally bought a few cult beauty products from Kiehls. I am trying out their Ultra Facial Toner, their lip blame and the very popular Midnight Recovery Concentrate. I also picked up some cheap and cheerful brushes from Beautique at Edgars, and some knock-off Beauty Blender sponges from Clicks.  I'll let you know how those work out soon. This beauty haul also got me in the mood for organising my make-up properly and I now have a very pretty, and very functional little beauty corner on my dressing table thanks to my lovely 27Pinkx organiser. Seriously, this thing is life changing.

The week ahead sees a much anticipated blogger dinner happening, a weekend away, and a few other life changing appointments I'll share with you in good time.

Have a fab week pretty people!
xx
