Glass has always been my first choice when it comes to storage of both foodstuffs and drinks! It is not only functional but also aesthetically more pleasing. Seeing that it is Choose Glass Week (28 Sep – 02 Oct), I have decided to write a post about why glass… well…works. Over the years I have accumulated an impressive collection of Consol Glass jars and bottles. I use these for everything, from everyday food storage to decorative table displays. [Read more…]

FRESH Beyond Words with Cavendish Square
You may recall my post last month featuring the Cavendish Square Beyond Words Campaign. The campaign launched in June and will run until the 13th December. As part of the campaign, Cavendish have asked me to create a “lifestyle” display for each of the Beyond Words themes. The first theme interpretation, I did, was Cosy and the theme for this month is FRESH Beyond Words. You are able to view the display on level P1 until the 21st September.
FRESH Beyond Words with Cavendish Square
“Spring” a FRESH outlook on life!
The word FRESH means “new or different”, which is the perfect definition of Spring. Spring brings with it a fresh outlook on life – green leaves on trees, sweet smelling blossoms and the promise of new life. This is also the perfect time of year, to do some of the things I love – spending time at the seaside, lounging by the pool, picnics in the garden and alfresco dining with friends.
For my FRESH Beyond Words interpretation, I decided on a nautical theme – of navy, red and white. These colours work really well in an outside space and evoke feelings of poolside living or holiday’s at the beach.
I used a mixture of these colours, for the tableware, as well as clear perspex. The wine glasses and pitcher have a funky embossed pattern, for an element of elegance and the “Seven Seas” tray, continues the nautical theme.
For lighting I kept it simple and “beachy” by using two Woven Rope Lanterns and Sea Urchin Candles – both in white.
In keeping with the theme, I dressed the mannequin in stunning navy and white beachwear from Accessorize.
As well as being a wonderful source of inspiration, the Beyond Words Campaign offers shoppers the opportunity of winning prizes to the value of R400 000! You can enter at Cavendish Square on P1 from the 9th June until the 13th December 2015.
Cavendish Square are also offering readers another opportunity of winning! SHARE and COMMENT on the Cavendish Square Facebook Page, telling us what your favourite item from my FRESH look is and you could win a Partners voucher to the value of R410!

For this look, I was assisted with the setup by Shelley Nell.

Beauty Storage Ideas { Home Decor }
Beauty storage always seems to be a problem for me, which is largely thanks to blogging {I am not complaining!}, as well as loving all things beauty related. I also think that being a nail polish addict does not help matters! There always seem to be so many beauty products lying around, and I hate clutter! I much prefer everything to be neat and organised {did I mention I am just a tad OCD} – so having functional storage is a must! [Read more…]
