friend, who also happens to be a fellow shopaholic, says she can’t wait to swap her colour-drenched summer wardrobe for a more sombre winter palette.

“Black and white… Those are the only colours I’m going to wear!” she exclaimed excitedly. For a woman who loves wearing wild prints and sherbet-inspired hues, that’s a pretty big style statement.

But I get it. It’s been a long and frivolous summer of clashing brights and pretty pastels. I’m also more than ready to take a holiday from all this excess of colour, and revert to the comfort of my all-time favourite colour, black.

Not head to toe, of course, and defi nitely worn with a big dose of leather trim and accessories. Or paired with winter’s trendiest prints (for me, it’s houndstooth) and complementary colours (I can’t get enough of burgundy and also love the retro combination of black and gold). It’s a grown-up look that feels minimalist yet sexy at the same time.

My advice for the season ahead? Take a tip from my stylish friend and decide now what your winter fashion palette is going to be. Classic hues like black, white, navy and grey always work well as a base with bolder colours and prints layered on top. Then make a wish list of all your winter lust-haves and start ticking them o! early in the season, so you don’t miss out on any of the fi rst-wave gems.

And as always, from me, happy shopping!And as always, from me, happy shopping!

PRIZE LETTERCool and the gangI’m a mother of three boys, each with their own set of criteria for ‘looking cool’. Edgars certainly comes to the party with the latest in kids’ fashion. Even dad scores cool points with his Aramis skincare products and he practically lives in his clothes from the Edgars Active range. However, it’s enjoying all the Thank U points that really makes the di! erence. This proud and happy mom thanks you. – Doriane Ribeiro

Thank U rewards We hear what you have to say

REWARDING SHOPPING I recently needed an outfi t for a function but being the end of the month, cash was low. I was thrilled to discover that Edgars was having a Pumped Up Points day and that my Thank U points were worth double. I was able to purchase a full evening ensemble with my Thank U rewards and only paid in R15. Now that’s what I call glamorous. – Raine Fairbairn

HOLE-IN-ONE Once a month, my husband and I play golf together. I was delighted when I spotted the special offer on The Players Golf Club, and also decided to treat myself to new golfi ng gear, including shoes and accessories. My purchases earned me lots of Thank U points. I felt as though I had scored a hole-in-one! – Candace Kops

For all womenI don’t shop at Edgars but my wife is a loyal customer. I’ve read Club magazine and nowhere do I see fashion solutions for older customers with fuller fi gures. Are you interested in only the younger, trendier set? – Derick da Silva From Justine: Catering to the more mature and fuller-fi gured woman is something we are planning to do more of in future issues. Watch this space.

A personal touchI got so excited when I read the ‘Pretty Woman’ personal shopper article (Dec/Jan 2013). I can relate to the writer – as a busy mom of two I rarely fi nd time to go shopping. Having a personal shopper is a fantastic idea. I look forward to visiting Edgars Sandton and booking my appointment. – Asha Parbhoo

anti-ageing super serums

OLD SCHOOL The thicker the cream, the more moisture it pumps into your skin.

NEW SCHOOL Serums are fast becoming the go-to defence against wrinkles and other signs of ageing: they hydrate, brighten and even-out skin

tone. Thanks to their fluid consistency, serums penetrate much deeper than moisturiser, so all it

takes is a few drops every morning and night.

OLD SCHOOL A good mask should be thick, gooey and removed after

a few minutes.NEW SCHOOL The newer masks

have more nourishing ingredients than ever. What’s more, their light texture

means that you can wear them to bed, giving the mask plenty of time to repair

the day’s damage while you sleep. Twice a week, apply a mask instead

of night cream and remove it with cleanser the next morning.

OLD SCHOOL The roughest exfoliator does the best job.

NEW SCHOOL Say so long to rough, grainy concoctions: the new exfoliator has a milder texture that

promotes skin cell turnover without being harsh on skin. Their ingredients

often include fruit enzymes or jojoba pearls (tiny beads of jojoba oil) that

gently slough away dead skin for clean pores and a brighter complexion.

ON MY CATWALK LUST-LIST is anything from

Isabel Marant’s Autumn/Winter 2012/13 collection.

I love the intermingling of casual cowboy chic and

sophisticated military style.

MY FAVOURITE FRAGRANCE is Classique by Jean Paul Gaultier – it has me feeling good all day long.

A FEEL-GOOD TUNE THAT NEVER FAILS to lift my mood is ‘Dela’ by Johnny Clegg. I can’t hold a note but it always gets my toes tapping.

MY LOOK IS DEFINED BY HOW I FEEL. Sometimes it’s simple and chic while other times I’ll opt for bold prints and attention-grabbing accessories.

A QUIRKY RIBBON OR

A SIMPLE ALICE BAND

are my go-to hair accessories and

an easy way to feel pretty.

MY FAVOURITE FASHION FILM is The Devil Wears

Prada. It shows that wearing the right

outfi t can give you the confi dence to

achieve anything.

I ALWAYS WEAR HEELS, high or low. As Marilyn Monroe once said, “Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.”
