WISHLIST: my Gourmet dream

One of the things I dream about is owning a gourmet food shop/cafe. I know the food business is really HARD but it's something I always dream about getting into. I love thinking about what my little place would look like. There are so many gourmet food shop's out there in the world and we have a few in Cape Town that I love going too. Hopefully one day I'll have my own.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

PARTY DRESSES

Flashbulbs will pop in an explosion of light for this season's party dresses. Make a lasting impression in the glamourous gowns- keep the silhouette simple, letting the shimmer give shine to an otherwise reserved outfit. Everyone goes crazy for sparkly dresses- heads turn at the swishing of the crystals. Embrace the attention. I would pair the dress with a slouchy coat, giving nothing away until the big reveal.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Camel Trench Coats

If you only buy one coat this season, make it camel! The joys about camel coats are countless; camel goes with everything and is timeless too! Camel Trenches come at all lengths and with or without sleeves. Wear yours tied at the waist or with a contrasting belt. Buy now, and your guaranteed to wear it forever!
