London's ever so famous Topshop has landed in Cape Town. since Cape Town received the likes of Zara after JHB and Durban, we were not surprised that Topshop arrived here last too.

at last ZARA has graced Cape Town CBD. we thought that "of course" ZARA would come come to Cape Town first, but to every ones dismay, we were mistaken. Cape Town had to wait until JHB and Durban were set up. but alas, we can not enjoy shopping in this ever so popular European store. get down to the V &amp; A Waterfront to enjoy this shopping experience. yay.&nbsp; have a lovely

this last week was the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Cape Town, and what a treat it was. the whose who in the South African fashion industry was there and any Cape Town fashionista was there ready to strut his/her style. what i like about fashion week is the vibe in the atmosphere, there is a strong sense of everyone dressing to impress, whether it is to be trendy or just "fashion forward". &

right, so we all know about "going green" and reducing our carbon&nbsp;footprint... some fashion designers really go the extra mile to produce an Eco-friendly garment made from sustainable materials.&nbsp;the reality? that you often look like a tree-hugger or hippy.&nbsp; please note: nothing is wrong with either, it is just not my style.&nbsp; BUT . . . 7 students have done it right.

some people are just born with a natural ease to dress themselves in the morning. we are loving Miss Sarah-Jane's high-waist denims and high-tops. she matched it wonderfully with a tan weaved belt and a soft cardigan. love.

sho, what a treat last night was. some friends and myself were able to enjoy being spoilt at the Ladies Night Cinema evening at Nu Metro, V&amp;A Waterfront. there were loads of treats and eats, as well as massages, nail therapists, men in bow ties, and wine tasting. it was only obvious that a dress code was in order. there may have been inspiration from a certain TV series . . .&nbsp;

anyone living in the Western Cape at this time of the year knows of the great wine festivities that goes on.

whilst I was trying to gather traffic to my Facebook page, a certain someone complained that there was a lack of "men's fashion". so I did a bit of research into what is key for South Africa's Autumn/Winter 2012. I came across the site : FASHIONBEANS, what a lovely website. I do agree that some of the garments and looks are a bit too OTT for the average South African man. however, what is nice
