Most of the summer sales are coming to an end and with it more and more clothing for autumn and winter can be seen in the shops. Boots are of course always in fashion and this season sees colours of muted shades of dusky pink, baby blues, mocha and greys.
Looking wow
Want to be seen as super stylish this coming season? Choose from one of the gorgeous ponchos at Woolworths.

Team with a longer length skirt and boots and you’ll be sure to be a hit!

My read for April
Joanna Trollope has always been one of my favourite authors and I see she has a new book out, An Unsuitable Match, available at Exclusive Books Mall of the South.
About the book
Rose Woodrowe is getting married to Tyler Masson—a wonderful, sensitive man who is head over heels in love with her. The only problem? This isn’t the first time for either of them. And when you marry later in life there are a lot more people to consider. Like Rose’s daughter, Laura, who remembers her mom’s first marriage and doesn’t want her to get hurt again. Or the twins, Emmy and Nat, who are used to their mom being there for them whenever and for whatever they need. And then there’s Tyler’s children: Mallory, a young actress who craves her father’s attention and Seth, whose San Francisco bakery is just taking off and needs all the money he can get. Rose and Tyler are determined to get it right this time, but in trying to make everyone happy can they ever be happy themselves? – Taken from Goodreads
Bouquet of the Week
Pat Kostner and her friend Alice recently went for lunch to Texamo Spur in The Glen Shopping Centre. “Our waiter Elias was such a star. He was friendly, professional and the service was great! Thank you, Elias. You definitely deserve a big bouquet.”
That’s it for this week. Shop till you drop!
