Street Style: bright colours

NARS S/S 12 – my pick

NARS is one of my favourite make up brands and one that I use a lot of. The bad news is that it is unfortunately not available in South Africa and is pretty pricey, either way, I love looking at their latest products as they always seem ahead of the game and come up with […]

You all now by now that my bathroom cupboard is made up of Wild Olive – it is my absolute favourite bath and body brand, and if you have not yet checked them out, please go now! I actually took a friend there the other day who was wow’ed by the store, saying it felt […]

It’s a bobble

Birdy
