VELVET BY GRAHAM & SPENCER

My number one wardrobe essential has to be a white T-shirt – simple and classic – perfect to slip on underneath a chunky knit when the weather starts getting chilly. Over the years, as style and designs have changed – so have my preferences, so when I’m faced with an array of T-shirts: V-neck, oversized, slim fit, or pocket detail – my mind boggles as there are simply too many choices!

Help is at hand with Velvet by Graham & Spencer – an international brand brought to the sunny shores of SA by the fabulous ladies of Fine Cotton. In their boutique located in Illovo, Johannesburg you’ll find those wardrobe essentials that are oh-so wantable: luxe T-shirts and vests, tunics, leggings, jackets and coats to fabulous draped and ruched dresses made from light-weight fleece, feather weight wool to cashmere blends – an absolute feast for the senses! A neutral colour palette is dominant throughout their range – you can choose from charcoal grey, ink black, warm chocolate to touches of butter and snow – my favourite colours that work seamlessly well with your existing wardrobe. And there you have it – It’s amazing how a simple white T-shirt has so much power over your wardrobe dilemmas! Phone Fine Cotton on 082 858 0186 (Tori) to get your hands on these beauties!

SEX AND THE CITY II (Preview)

I simply can’t wait for the return of the fab foursome! I saw a preview the other night – as always the girls were in the finest clothing and highest-of-heels – what can you expect?
You can’t help but admire the chic yet daring (and sometimes a tad OTT) fashion that costume designer, Patricia Field creates time after time – I would love to be inside that fashion closet on set – me thinks a few items would go missing!

I adore this dress that Charlotte is wearing in the movie – frills coupled with a summer bright – the ultimate statement dress!

So while my boyfriend groans with despair (I pulled him along to Sex and the City last year – like all men he simply didn’t get the ethos behind this fashion spectacular!) – I will dutifully book my seat for the 28th May at my local cinema. See you there!
