So as part of any buying trip a drive into a rural area to visit a factory is a must! It was a very hectic two hour drive, no rules on the road, everyone chats on the phone whilst driving, driving between lanes and slamming on breaks is a given! I had to listen to my iPod and pray that we would make it there safely. We were spoilt with a beautiful lunch that I thought I would share with some of the food lovers out there!! I was told beforehand that I should beware of anything I did not recognize but there was none of that! The lunch was spectacular if your into Chinese cuisine!

Hello there friend, nice to meet you! I am going to eat you now!
Supermodel Kate Moss has designed her 14th and last collection for Topshop, ending a three-year association with the UK fast fashion retailer. Her final range will launch in store on October 10.
Owner Sir Philip Green said the split with Moss was amicable as she moves on to pursue other projects.
Green said: “There have been no dramas and we don’t need a new muse. There is only one Kate and we are not looking for a replacement.
“Kate has done 14 collections with us. It has been fantastic for us and fantastic for her, but they take more and more time and she cannot do this full-time any more because she has other commitments.”
However one source told the Sunday Times: “Kate Moss’ range has not been selling at the same rate that it was and was in danger of running out of steam. At one point, she was doing six collections a year but they cut it back to two a year because they could not sustain it and that is when it started to falter.”
Meanwhile, Greens’ 19-year-old Chloe is set to begin training with the company, determined to launch her own clothing range. She has harboured dreams of being a fashion designer since she began helping her father choose new collections at the age of 10, reports the Daily Mail. “Hopefully, one day I might design a ‘Chloe Green at Topshop’ range, she said in an earlier interview.
I thought someone was playing a practical joke on me!! This is standard procedure at lunch in corporate China – nap time at your desk after lunch! Hilarious! I wonder what Woolworths would say if I brought a pillow to work and had a nap during lunch hour
Just thought I show you some of the shopping that can be done in Dubai! Stunning shop Windows!! Mango store has been my favorite so far!! Got some great pics from inside the store which I will show you later!
OMG – they were having a sale!! Could not resist!
Always love Massimo Dutti – great for loungewear and timeless pieces.
Zara looking great as usual! Stunning military jackets, aviator jackets and lots of stylish suits!!!
Spent the whole day at the Dubai Shopping Mall which is suppose to be the biggest shopping centre in the world! Today I did not even get through a quarter of it! Not really aloud to show you my shopping but will show you two of the items I bought myself from Zara!!
Great for wearing with skinny jeans and flip flops this Summer!!
An animal print dress with a tan belt to be worn with leather sandals this coming summer!
This week I went to visit Equestrian Affair Boutique in Constantia – the store is magnificent – if your not a horse rider I would say it does not matter, a visit to the shop is inspiring ! The shop itself is one of a kind. Through out the boutique are beautiful statues of horses as well as a few spectacular antique pieces to look at! The range of clothing is classic, timeless and stunning – I don’t ride horses and I wanted to buy everything! The shop is located at High Constantia Shopping Centre, main road!
Now we can all like Princess Charlotte Casiraghi – our favorite!
I definitely think the classic flat moccasin is making a come back- not that it ever left but you know what I mean. I I have been seeing them “on street” as well as seeing them on our favorite fashionistas like Kate Moss! I also read an article in (of course) the French vogue – don’t understand a word of French but never the less it’s by far the best vogue – anyway I think they were giving a salute to the most comfortable shoe ever made and letting us know this is the “it shoe” again!! Am definitely going to look out for a pair in Dubai at the end of the week on my trip!
Spotted this girl at the market and thought she was the Tod Girl!! Loved her classic look! Think the quilted Jacket is spot on! I want one right now!!!!!! Bella Donna!!!
Also spotted – the “Man” Version! It’s what separates the stylish boys form the stylish men!
I am loving Alexa Chung at the moment and cannot seem to get enough of her! The ex model and now TV presenter is absolotuly adorable with her distinctive and quirky fashion style. What’s even better is she has been heard quoted as saying ““there’s not much to being an It Girl. It’s really quite a depressing title to hold”.
She is so fab that the designer label Mulberry named a handbag after her !!!!!! Hello????? What does a girl have to do to get a pair of shoes named after her??? Anyway can’t seem to get enough of her. Am off on an overseas buying/business trip for Woolworths this week and I will definitely be getting a list together of all the things she would wear to buy for myself!
A little Alexa Chung self indulgance.
Here’s a video I found on YouTube for the other Alexa Chung fashionista fans out there!
I have been dying to show you my new fur boots! If your into Uggs I definitely recommend a pair!! Can’t remember the shop’s name, but it’s somewhere in the Waterfront near Fabiani
My friend VC, who is just the best photographer, is a bit of a whizz with his camera – and not just when it comes to stills! VC joined me at Cape Town Fashion week, as we took the camera backstage, to hopefully capture a bit of PopYaCollar’s vibe. This is my first video post on this site so hold thumbs that it actually shows up! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it!
That was so much fun! Thanks Verster-Cohen Photography for giving me something to never forget Fashion Week 2010! You are just the best (and that French music?? To die for!)
