Wow, now this is what a national sports team should look like. Ralph Lauren just always seems to get it right – season after season. And I think his designs for the US Winter Olympics team is sensational.

Boys shoes for girls

By Jacquie Myburgh Chemaly | 1 week ago

Brown Brogue from Paul Smith

Brown Brogue from Paul Smith

I am an absolute sucker for brown leather shoes and for lace up shoes. So this pair of men’s brogues for ladies at Paul Smith has to be my absolute dream shoe! I didn’t realise that Paul Smith does a ladies’ range called Men Only, based on his fantastic men’s line. His quirky menswear is really what put Paul Smith on the map so I can image Men Only must be a huge success. I love that boyish, preppy look myself so will be popping in more regularly to have a look. I had gone to Paul Smith to look at the sale but nothing grabbed my fancy and there were definitely no bargains to be had. But those shoes…

Not the sales news

By Jacquie Myburgh Chemaly | 1 week, 1 day ago

Foschini wwwThis biker jacket at Foschini is not leather (100% light synthetic fabric) but it’s an absolute beauty and reminds me so much of the jackets and skirts that Balmain had in their collection last autumn/winter. The style is an absolute classic and the price tag amazing: only R400. Unfortunately it’s not on sale but I wouldn’t think twice.

Is it safe?

Copper shoes for 10 pounds!

Copper shoes for 10 pounds!

I’ve never bought anything on the internet – not even music or a book. Like many I suffer from anxiety about getting the stuff after I’ve parted with the cash! But these shoes – for 10 Uk pounds only!!! – on the Office website are sorely tempting. I wonder if I should take the leap? One of my students at Lisof fashion design school says she regularly buys Converse takkies and they arrive intact and in record time.

Sartorialist wannabes

Look as stylish as Alessandra ('The Sartorialist') with a leather jacket. This one is on sale for R3200 (down from R4000) at Levi

Mas and I are both huge fans of that famous street style blog The Sartorialist, so could not resist this sale find (not a huge bargain, we agree!) which is a dead ringer for the one being worn by one of Scott Schuman’s favourite “models”, Alessandra.

What a uniform!

By Jacquie Myburgh Chemaly | 1 week, 6 days ago

JutteHere’s my final post from the SIHH watch show in Switzerland. The lovely Jutte was our tour guide at the IWC Schaffhausen factory near Zurich and she was a study in Swiss German understated sophistication. Her entire uniform was from Ralph Lauren – beautiful and it looked so good on her. She was delighted that I wanted to feature a 50-something year old on my fashion blog!
Next up, some great sale shopping tips for the weekend.
