Special Valentine's A-list

Happy Valentine's Day ladies! I hope all of you have a day filled with lots of love, hugs and happy memories! And remember, Valentine's Day is there to show our love and appreciation to ALL our loved ones: your parents, friends, family, boyfriend and even your pets!

Now, I know my A-list is a little later this month than usual, but with very good cause! I've had an amazing shopping spree at Sass Diva last week - and just see what I found...

Look Number 1: Black is back! But no somber or gothic ensembles this time around - think retro! I love this polka dot head scarf from Sass Diva - so cute with a LBD.

Look Number 2: Birds of a feather! The birdie trend has been with us for a while now - but now it's gone all out! No more images or cut outs of birds or twigs - wear a feather in your hair, on a hairband or as a brooch. The look is a little more bohemian, so try pairing it with long skirts and feminine layers. Loose,  tousled hair is a must for this!

Look Number 3: Floral Fantasy! There are so many different ways to wear this trend. If you're afraid of looking like your grandma's cupboard - best to wear something a little bit more mod, then wear a cute hairband with flowers on it, or a floral brooch.  A simple flower in your hair is always cute!

Look Number 4: Plum perfect! aah....Plum! That colour that just never seems to really make it into the fashion spreads! Plum, or different shades of purple, is a great colour for almost any event. In the evening - going deep and accent with black. During the day, try using lighter shades with white and grey - a beautiful combo! Again, if you're afraid that the look with wear you instead of the other way around - just use it as an accent. A little splash of colour is all you need!

Look Number 5: Green Envy! OMW - this is by far my fave look right now! But girls, be sure to look out for jade greens rather than grass greens! Perfect for day or night, this colour packs a punch when it comes to making a statement. You simply can not go wrong with a white summer dress and this beautiful butterfly pendant from Sass Diva. And how about a LBD with that green Grecian head band? To die for!!



All of these amazing looks are from Sass Diva. Those ladies know just how to get a girl's heart racing with all their accessories!

I'm dying to share something HUGE with you right now, but you'll have to wait just a little while longer girls.... I promise - you're going to love it! And yes, it most definitely has something to do with Sass Diva!

I'll give you a hint: you know I love to give things away, and you know I love spoiling all my fans! ;)

What's your fave look right now?

Fun nail art

Happy Monday ladies! It's a new week, tomorrow is a new month (can you believe it's November already?) and I have something fun to share with you all!

Have you seen this cool marble effect on nails? I love the mix of colours and the different looks you can create - one colour nails are SO last season! LOL!

Don't you think it's great for a party - and you can mix the colours to suit the theme. Like black and orange for tonight's Halloween! Or try different shades of one colour for a slightly more subtle effect.

Introducing: The Ava A-list

No more suspense girls! My secret is out: The Ava A-list. Every month, I'll be sharing the hottest products with you. And believe me, this is not just a clever marketing tactic - these are all products that I use, that I LOVE and that help me achieve my look every day! 

I believe that sharing is caring, so from now on I'll be sharing all my biggest secret products and fashion items. It's always good to have a heads up - don't you think?

So, without any further delay....here you go! My must have list for October! 

Must Have #1: ModelCo TAN Airbrush In A Can This product has been a life saver! No orange hands, NO yucky smells, and an instant tan! The tan develops over 8 hours, but also gives you that instant boost of colour. I love the spray application - I tend to get streaks and miss spots with lotions.

Girls, we all know October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, but there is another cancer that is taking over Mzansi. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in SA - only second in the world after Australia. So really, you have no reason to lie in the sun for hours to get that gorgeous tan. It's not worth it! But - no one wants to be as white as a ghost during summer. So, grab yourself a TAN Airbrush In A Can and look beach gorgeous all year round!

Available at selected Dis-Chem stores nationwide

ModelCo TAN Airbrush in a Can: 200g @ R320 / 90g @ R170

Must Have # 2: ModelCo Fat Lash Do not be fooled that all mascaras are made equal! I know it's a little overwhelming picking a mascara out of all the hundreds that are available (it is for me!), but there are mascaras...and then there is Fat Lash from ModelCo.  Fat Lash is great for adding volume, plus lengthening your lashes (which I really need!). Best of all - no smudges! By the end of a long day I always look extra tired when my mascara rubs off and gives me big black circles. With Fat Lash I really don't have that problem anymore! Bonus!

Available at selected Edgars and Red Square stores

ModelCo Fat Lash @ R225

Must Have #3: Undacova Underwear and Sleepwear I love this local brand! Not just a funky look, but super comfy. Their undies are made to fit you perfectly - and remember girls: good underwear are critical to make your clothes look good! My fave is the Young Love top - too cute! 

Don't forget to get your hands on the latest Salwater GIRL mag - exclusive competition with Undacova. The winner wins a whole heap of prizes, including the latest range of Undacova underwear and sleepwear - made up especially for you. You'll be the first lucky lady in the country to wear this amazing range.

Must Have #4: Smashbox O-Glow and O-Gloss Seriously, I didn't know there was such a cool product on the market! The O-Glow and is the first intuitive blush, a clear silky gel that reacts to your personal skin chemistry to turn the shade that you blush naturally, in just seconds! And with O-Gloss, you get your own shade of pink - no other like it! 

Both products are full of Goji Berry-C Complex™ and all manner of other goodies that are good for your skin, but bottom line ladies: this is awesome! The gel is so soft, I love the feeling. This is a definite must for summer!

Available at all Woolworths Cosmetic sections

Smashbox O-Gloss @ R200 / Smashbox O-Glow @ R240

Must Have # 5: Neon Pink Jersey Stole from Accessorize Although Spring has sprung all across our beautiful country, there are still some less than balmy days around! I also find myself feeling the cold in the evenings. So what better than a beautiful neon pink wrap to ward off the cold? The jersey fabric is super soft and feels amazing on your skin!After winter I always find myself attracted to super bright colours - I'm so eager to forget about winter! This bright pink wrap is perfect for adding a punch of colour to any colour. 

Available at Accessorize stores

Neon Pink Jersey Stole @ R269

Must Have # 6 Floral Handbag from Accessorize Big bold prints are all the rage - and I love florals even more! Forget Boho-Chic, this bag will go with any spring/summer outfit! What I love most is the size: big enough for a girl to carry all her most important goodies! If you are a little nervous to rock the floral craze with your clothing, tone it down and wear this bag to add to the look. I'm already planning jeans, beautiful glitzy sandals, a white top and this amazing bag!

Available at Accessorize stores nationwide
