This past long weekend ticked all the boxes for pure relaxation, quiet and good ‘ol fashioned R ’n R…yes the suburbs of Jo’burg were blissfully quiet, shop queues that much shorter and generally an air and mood for a good long weekend ahead… I divulged in my favourite pastime: flopping on the couch and watching a good movie.The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was on DSTV (I PVR’d – ahhh the perks of technology ;) and couldn’t help but be bowelled over by Tilda Swinton playing Elizabeth Abbott.
She is disarmingly plain yet pretty (even chisel –jawed Brad Pitt, playing Benjamin comments on this) – yet she’s been the face of Pringle of Scotland for over a year now and has recently made the cover for Dazed Magazine. This is what I love about fashion – they’ll splash the usual suspects of ‘prettydom’ all over magazines and fashion editorials, yet here is Tilda Swinton, a statuesque beauty in her own right that stands tall and proud over all of them. It’s her air of quiet assurance about herself that I find inspiring and empowering. Bravo Tilda!
Visit your nearest Pringle store to not only gaze at Tilda but drool over their autumn/winter range – it’s classic with a twist – our favourite here at woman&home! I have my beady eye on a pair of quilted leather gloves that we used in a main fashion editorial last week – perfect for those morning drives to work when your hands freeze to the steering wheel! Happy shopping!
