LOOKING GOOD: Nicky Esterhuizen and Amoré Esterhuizen.

Spring is around the corner but we keep getting a sneaky cold and windy day. This is a difficult time of the year, because of the changeable days we never quite know what to wear and every morning I think my husband would like to remove himself from the house as I stand in front of the wardrobe and say, “What should I wear today?” He knows I’ll probably try on at least three different outfits and obviously go back to the first one to wear that day. It’s a woman thing! The shops though are boasting spring wear and what a beautiful choice of soft colours we have to choose from. Whether dresses, skirts, crop pants, blouses or jackets, colours range from lavenders, soft pinks and mint greens, lemon, peach, tan and cream, baby blues and aqua. Whatever is your favourite colour you’ll be able to fund something beautiful.

Luxury in the home

You’ll find some gorgeous towels and bathroom products at @Home in either The Glen Shopping Centre or at Mall of the South. Choose from the softest towels which will give your bathroom a touch of luxury, in coral, blush, blue and turquoise. I just love one of their hand lotions and hand washes, Saffron Rose. Evocatively fragranced with heirloom rose, balanced by warm spicy notes of precious saffron combined to create this delicious fragrance. The packaging is so beautiful, both the hand wash and lotion will look divine.

Scarlett Red Boutique

Talking of new spring lines, Scarlett Red Boutique, situated at 11 Hennie Alberts Street, Brackenhurst and owned by Amoré Esterhuizen, recently celebrated the opening of their new bigger store with a cocktail evening with invited guests and clients.
