Body Shop

The Body Shop has got to be one of my favorite places to go and get some essentials, the constant smells spilling from the shop onto the outside porch is simply heavenly and I do so enjoy the open mosturiser that you can have a quick glance at.
I went ad decided to treat myself to some well-earned hand moisturizer that will showcase my signature strawberry scent. I tend try and find different and unique smells to wear as I simply cannot wear the generic stuff off the counter if everyone else is.
The pint-sized hand lotion is strawberry adorable and is half finished, already a hit with the boyfriend as he prefers nice smelling but not too heavy on the nose.

You can get this sweet little thing for a decent price and for a nice bargain, you can even try and have a look at their summer 50% discount sale.

My little tip: I buy the Strawberry home fragrance, only R50 and then use that as perfume, only one or two drops and you're sorted for the whole day. Those of you who are reading this and who know me, you'll attest to how perfect it is, subtle and so delightfully delicious smelling.

Corner of Church Street and Long Street

The antique market on the corner of Church Street and Long Street made an exceptional appearance this morning! I don't usually go and see whats there, sort of glance by, but I stopped today and saw the most divine faux gold locket.
I absolutely adore a good bargain, I saw this locket that had a beautiful art nouveau styled embellishment that when opened, contained a glittered interior, very gentle however for you to put that picture of your loved one.
Only R90, and I'm currently saving up for it to be my 'welcome to the new year present!'

I personally love a beautiful accessory like that, something that's understated and simply that can pull of a plain LBD or a summery floral acquisition.


Straight after that, I walked right past "MeMeMe" another beautiful boutique that showcases local designers, and even though they were still closed, I saw this bag, oh this beautiful bag!
Brown leather with a blue leather trim around the side pockets and straps. Gold studded embellishments on the straps make the bag in my personal opinion, absolutely beautiful.
This bag, however, costs R2200, but to be honest, what is not worth the wait if you save up for it and have something that divine?
