Things we really want to shop for but can't, because January | Life

Marisa Crous

So it's Monday the 8th of January. And yet it feels like it's been more than a hundred days since I received my last paycheck.

Back at work and ready for a New Year, New Me, I find myself yearning for new things to decorate said New Me.

Only problem is there's way too much month at the end of my money, a pickle I'm sure many of you are currently in.

And after flipping over several couch cushions, still nothing.

Worst of all is I'm a bit of a masochist, and love Instagram and online shopping, so I've been window shopping my next purchases come payday so long.

Don't hate me.

Skin

I just ran out of this face oil by Skin Creamery, R310. It is one of the best things to use in summer, especially after a swim in the sea or pool. Get it!

Give your skin a fresh start. Our Facial Hydrating Oil penetrates and nourishes your skin from within. #radiant #skin

I also love this Raffia clutch, R 699, from Witchery.

Clothing

Everything from the new Selfi store on Loop street in Cape Town, please. The Laloba collection collab between SELFI X RHARHA is fire. Also very into the ceramic earrings by Githan Coopoo.

Myself & @____selfi came together with the idea to create a collection that reflects duality, authenticity and balance. Out of it came @____laloba a narrative that challenges social norms on femininity. Ph: @alixrosephoto/ styled by @gabriellekannemeyer
