Mad About Jasmine

28 August 2025

 Some scents don’t just stay on the skin; they weave themselves into memory, into mood, into the very air around you. Memo’s Madurai is one of those scents. Besotted. Obsessed. Completely under its spell. One spritz, and I was gone—head over heels for this luminous fragrance that feels like sunshine bottled, like laughter caught on … Continue Reading

Fairy tale aesthetics in real life 🍄 Fairy tale aesthetics in real life 🍄
Nothing says South Africa quite like a boerie roll Nothing says South Africa quite like a boerie roll. 🇿🇦🌭

The team behind @bellyofthebeast_ct , @galjoen_cpt and @seebamboes have taken one of our most nostalgic comfort foods and given it a fresh home in Cape Town’s East City.

@buri_cpt every detail has been considered – from the bespoke boerewors and custom-made buns to the loaded fries, playful Adults Soda Fountain and warm mini doughnuts that are worth saving room for. It’s familiar, comforting and unmistakably local, with just the right amount of flair.

Whether you’re stopping in for a quick lunch, an after-work bite or simply chasing the perfect boerie roll, this is one Harrington Street address you’ll want to add to your list.

📍 Buri, Shop 1, 99 Harrington Street, Cape Town

🕙 Monday–Saturday | 10am–9pm

🍺 Happy Hour daily from 4pm–6pm (everything on tap is half price)

I’ve never been a matte foundation girlie. With n I’ve never been a matte foundation girlie.

With normal-to-dry, mature skin, I usually reach for radiant, hydrating formulas, but the new @nars_artistry_sa Natural Matte Longwear Foundation had me rethinking everything.

After attended the launch at the beautiful NARS boutique @vandawaterfront - where we each received foundation to try - I’ve been putting the formula to the test. 

The verdict? Lightweight, comfortable & surprisingly skin-like, with buildable coverage & a soft natural matte finish that never looks flat or heavy. It’s a matte foundation that still lets your skin look like skin.

Has this converted me to a matte foundation wearer? Probably not. But it’s certainly changed my perception of what a matte formula can be. If you’ve been hesitant for the same reasons I have, this is one that well worth experiencing.

Last week I flew to Johannesburg to celebrate one of my favourite skincare brands with the wonderful Vichy Tribe, and what a beautiful evening it was.

From an elegant dinner at @aurumrestaurantza to thoughtful personalised gifts and the launch of the new Vichy LiftActiv Collagen Specialist 16 Glow Boosting Gel, every detail was simply gorgeous.

Swipe through for a little glimpse of the evening... the fashion, the food, the skincare and all the beautiful moments in between. 

Thank you, Vichy, for such a memorable night. It’s always a pleasure celebrating skincare with such an inspiring community.
Truly blessed to enjoy a daily walk on the Rondebo Truly blessed to enjoy a daily walk on the Rondebosch Common. 
It’s quite something observing this little piece of nature - in the heart of suburbia - change with the seasons. 
What makes spending time here even more enjoyable? My fur bestie Momo, and my human bestie, Charles, at my side. 🤗
Some shoes simply have the power to transform an o Some shoes simply have the power to transform an outfit — and the Kyoto Heel Pump from @batashoes_sa is one of them. 

With its elegant pointed toe, feminine strap detail and glossy patent-red finish, it strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and playfulness. I love how it instantly elevates even the simplest look, adding personality, confidence and a pop of colour without ever feeling overdone. 

Comfortable enough for all-day wear yet chic enough to make a statement, it’s proof that a great pair of red shoes is always a good idea. ❤️👠

At the @essilorluxottica media preview in Franschhoek, I fell hard for fluid 70s-inspired curves, elevated pilot frames, bold cat-eyes, and intellectual rounds. Favourite styles came courtesy of Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo, Prada and Ray-Ban.

Also loving the move toward rich earthy tones, khaki greens, honey tortoiseshells, and softly tinted lenses. Safe to say I want them all!
