Gabi — Mon, 20 May 2013 09:03:20 +0000

Last night saw the 2013 Billboard Music Awards held in Las Vegas, and we couldn’t help but check out the red carpet looks. We simply love Taylor Swift’s (who won EIGHT awards) blue dress and her onstage unicorn tee plus Jennifer Lopez’s gold leaf dress is gorge. Which look is your favourite?

Cannes Red Carpet

Gabi — Thu, 16 May 2013 08:10:05 +0000

Last night saw the premiere of the Great Gatsby at the Cannes Film Festival and boy did those stars work the red carpet. Even a torrential downpour didn’t put a damper on the glitz and glamour. Overall our favourite has to be Carey Mulligan followed by Nicole Kidman – oh, and the men didn’t look too bad either!

Skirt-up This Winter

LeanneD — Wed, 15 May 2013 07:48:12 +0000

We’re loving maxi and mid-length skirts this winter! Pair with ankle boots and tights for a bohemian chic look, or with a boxy leather biker jacket to be the trend-setter of the season.

J’adore Dior

LeanneD — Tue, 14 May 2013 13:40:46 +0000

The House of Dior has always known how to combine skill and flamboyance with audacity and their fragrances have initiated scent revolutions.

J’adore Voile de Parfum brilliantly follows in the footsteps of this long and rich history of Dior Haute Parfumerie. It is an expert and totally original formulation of J’adore which, by reinventing itself in this way, offers women a new way to perfume themselves.

At once, J’adore Voile de Parfum takes hold, opening with an aristocratically powdery Tuscan iris that is potent and lingering. This lead-in precedes the luminous sensuality of Rosa Damascena. In the background, white musks manage to instil a sensuous density whilst preserving the comfort of an all-enveloping sweetness. As always with the J’adore compositions, the choice of the most beautiful flowers is a must. Hand picked from select harvests, they bear witness to the on-going quest for the perfect ingredient.

Neither more lightly, nor more intensely. Just differently. Available at selected Truworths stores nationwide.
