It's that time of year again, when our brains slowly, but surely start to relax. And what better time than the present to spoil and pamper yourself or someone close to you.
We have been silently observing, and have finally compiled our ultimate wish list. Yes, we will gift ourselves some of these items, and the rest, well, all we can say is hint, hint...
This year we are coveting luxe, yet comfy sleepwear, iconic fragrances that make us feel sexy and fresh all at once, fun fruity handbags that bring out our playful side, bubbly to be enjoyed in the warm summer sun, PUMA and adidas trainers and sneakers, and more.
Here are a few incredible suggestions...
1. Fragrances from the legendary Florentine perfumery, Santa Maria Novella. These are investment pieces of note. Shop them at De Waterkant or Virgule in Cavendish Street. (More info re prices here)
3. Go for fun and flirty with this handmade, leather Banana bag by Missibaba. R2,600.
4. Anna-Louise Sleepwear gives you the most luxurious everyday, as well as custom-made bridal sleepwear. Shop here now.
5. Puma IGNITE XT trainers are amazing - it makes running a breeze as they feel like soft little clouds on your feet. Seriously. R1 299.
6. Moët & Chandon Ice is our new bubbly of choice. Enjoy it on a lovely summer's day, on ice, while sitting pool-side. Get it for R699.
7. Give the gift of scent. We especially love these 2 sets: Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb – Female, R 1 490 and the Giorgio Armani Code - Male, R 1 200.
8. DISARONNO, the world’s favourite Italian liqueur, will be back this holiday season with a unique new look designed by Roberto Cavalli, 750ml bottle is R229. Yum!
9. A good pair of adidas originals melts my heart. This is pure perfection. R 2499.
10. Truly, any piece of jewellery from the Pichulik Allora S/S 2016 range will do. Shop here.
