Movember 1

LADIES GET YOUR MOVEMBER ON!!!

 

For R120 you can get your Movember on with “Moutache to go necklaces” available at Alexandrakate.com or Mocho Loco.

 

MORE INFO

Movember… ahhh Movember

… the month when men grow their moustaches to create awareness for cancers that affect men, specifically prostate cancer.  But cancer affects us all…  So why can’t we women do something about it too?

Yes, is true: we can’t grow moustaches (well, we can’t grow full moustaches) but now with Mocho Loco’s “Moustache to go necklace” we can have both: a beautiful necklace and a fine moustache…

Creating awareness without necessarily looking like Frida Khalo, but this is not all Mocho Loco and AlexandraKate will do… We will donate ALL PROFIT of the sales to the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA)

 

 

How it works?… Very simple:

1. Buy your “Moustache-to-go-necklace” –  you are not only buying a piece of fine jewellery but also making a donation towards the Cancer Association of South Africa.

2. Wear it as a necklace or wear it as a moustache
3. Tell your male friends to grow a moustache
4. Tell your girl friends to get a “Moustache to go necklace” and raise awareness and funds against cancer.

LOLLIME BIKINIS NOW AT BEACH BOUTIQUE, CAMPS BAY.

I quite like these fun and very reasonably priced LOLLIME BIKINIS now available at BEACH BOUTIQUE, CAMPS BAY from R300 but there is only LIMITED STOCK available.

  

 

 

A BIT ABOUT LOLLIME

Nicolette Lacson, the designer and founder of LolliMe from Los Angeles started her career as a swimsuit model at gracing magazine covers internationally for various fashion and lifestyle magazines.

 


The frustrating of finding the perfect bikini led to a “spark” to start and create her own swimwear line. “That spark” then led her to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, CA where she graduated from in 2005 and then shortly after started LolliMe.

 


Nicolette’s bold venture into the swimwear industry soon earned her positive feedback which later on established stable patrons from regular clients to A-Listers.

LolliMe has been consistently attracting women across the board with highly discriminating taste and sassy sense of style. What sets LolliMe apart from the cookie-cutter swimwear lines is its highly polished craftsmanship as well as the unique and special design of the “bottom-enhancing scrunch” that’s sure to flatter any figure.

 


She describes her target market as a “vivacious, stylish, fun, and sun-loving fashionista”. For her, fashion and creativity should be exuded as a way of life – whether being indoor or outdoor.

 


Nicolette Lacson currently resides in Beverly Hills with her four dogs and is an animal lover. A portion of the profits go to local animal shelters in Los Angeles.

 

LINGERIE FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Want to get your bod into shape for summer … try this one for size?

The latest buzz in the states seems to be this LINGERIE FOOTBALL LEAGUE. What is LFL? It involves women running around in their knickers after a ball.

 

 

A famous NFL player’s daughter is now a star quarterback in the LFL, Donovan McNabb is going to the games, and they are even trying to start a youth league. Apparently the rules are a bit different to NFL but these ladies are still doing some serious work.

MUNGO & JEMIMA TO OPEN IN SOUTHERN SUBURBS

OUR HOUSE, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET 

From Long Street To Cavendish Street, Mungo & Jemima Introduce Another Home And Another Way To Show Their Love For SA Fashion 

 

The neighbour you have always wanted is finally moving in. The Southern suburbs are swinging their arms wide open to welcome the new ladies from town… Mungo & Jemima’s second and bigger boutique – opening soon!

With the Mungo & Jemima customer always in mind and three successful business years tucked neatly in their fashionable pockets, Mungo & Jemima embark on their latest journey; not just another South African clothing store to our streets, but a beautiful home and foundation for budding designers. A space to confidently showcase quality designs to the style-savvy shopper.

This charming new residency situated at 6 Cavendish Street flows historical nostalgia throughout its’ picturesque 1920’s cottage walls. The new offering affords the shopper an opus of comfort and allure whilst browsing through folds of fabric, handpicked by the creators of M & J. After all, you are the company you keep and the array of established brands in the surrounding area make for incredibly good company.

“We really feel that we represent the designers we house, you can clearly see what a designer is all about by just stepping through the threshold of our store. By committing to selective selecting, we choose designers who share the M&J aesthetic and customer, bringing together an all- encompassing defined fashion statement to all who come into contact with our brand” said Marian Park-Ross, co-owner of Mungo & Jemima.

With just 12 weeks, 12 weekends and 3 more pay cheques left to this year, it’s no coincidence that the brainchild of Coppelia and Good Clothing offer up yet another tasty contemporary style feast to suit the more discerning shopper. Their clientele align with the labels they carry; from Michelle Ludek, Missibaba and Hello Sailor to I love Leroy and Take Care. Mungo & Jemima appeal to shoppers of all ages who seek clothing that has its own unique voice, not a whisper in a sea of mass produced items. That’s why M & J put quality and exclusivity at the heart of the brand.

Mungo & Jemima is about putting consumers in direct contact with great designer collections in a unique, fresh and relaxed environment – where it is all about finding the perfect fit that spotlights the individual’s style.
