Candice Boucher attended her first Cannes film festival with confidence and style. Wearing a sheer black see-through dress designed by Gavin Rajah, she wowed the crowd and apparently made a lasting wonderful impression. Candice is over there promoting a Bollywood movie called Azaan which was shot all around the world, including Cape Town. See some of these amazing shots of her sexy dress!

Go Candice we are very proud of you!

Love looking at outfits worn to festivals. Got these great pics from Vogue.com. For those of you that don’t know, Coachella Valley Music and arts festival is held every year in California at the Empire Polo fields, it played host this year to Kings of leon, Kanye West and Duran Duran. The event has several stages playing alternative rock, Hip Hop and Electronic Music – sounds fab!

Countless celebrities and VIPs came out for a day in the Winelands, and were seen dressed by top designers such as Malcolm Kluk, Gavin Rajah and Hendrik Vermeulen Couturier amongst others. Celebrities seen at the event were Jeannie D, Vanessa Haywood, Elana Africa, Mark Bayly, Sonia and Matthew Booth, Vanessa Marawa, Rosie Motene and many more.

The Vibe Party at the grand was a huge success last Saturday. The weather was awesome, meaning not much wind and everyone looked fab. I wrote a story about the theme of the evening and the best dressed would win a magnum bottle of Boschendal Bubbly. Thought these 2 oozed out French Reverie vibe and should definitely win the title. Love white on white, stunning. Well done.

What in the world is No Pants Day?
No Pants Day is a day where everyone, be they students, respectable businessmen, or cherished community leaders, leave their pants behind. Usually this means wearing thick, appropriately modest boxer shorts, but bloomers, slips, briefs, and boxer-briefs all work as well.

I cannot tell you how excited I am about The Vibe Party this weekend. Not only is it taking place in one of the most exquisite places in Cape Town, but the dress code is beach/kaftan/evening vibe. I have a so many kaftans in my wardrobe and this is the perfect opportunity to look glam in a kaftan. Let me tell you how I see it! The party starts at 12.00 so I reckon guys girls are going to want to be in bikinis and sandals so they can be comfy the whole day

I get so much inspiration from what the fashionistas are wearign to the shows. So important to see how they are wearing the trends and what they are buying into. Got these pics from The Telegraph Blog!

The Rio Carnival begins every year 46 days before Easter. In the old days, carnival time meant that no meat would be eaten during this period , thus the word carnival sounds similar to the brazilian word carnelevare. I have been to Rio on a shopping trip with friends but never during this time. I don’t think we have ever experienced anything like this in South Africa and I am sure it would be a one in a life time party!

Richard Atkins, a denim expert in Hong Kong and a former creative director of UK clothing brand All Saints, has warned that high street fashion retailers may have to slow their expansion and the days of “throwaway fashion” could be over.

On the occasion of the 83rd Academy Awards in Los Angeles, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, wore earrings, a brooch and ring from the Louis Vuitton high jewellery collection, “L’Ame du Voyage.” The earrings and brooch feature Louis Vuitton diamonds and coloured stones on white, yellow and red gold. The ring features Louis Vuitton diamonds and baguette diamonds on white gold.

There were 3 hot after parties to be at in LA on the night of the Oscars, the Governors Ball, Elton Johns party to benefit his Aids Foundation and the Vanity Fair annual party which is held during and after the event.

And so the most legendary red carpet event, The Oscars, came and went this weekend. Celebrities across the globe attend this night of all nights, knowing full well almost the whole world’s eyes are upon them! My goodness! Follow the link for more!

So, I heard the news on Saturday morning watching Sky news and drinking a cuppichino in bed – John Galliano Suspended. Whats worse is that Dior Suspended the Talented designer for anti- semitic and racist remarks to a couple he apparently attacked!
