Choosing the perfect gift for the men in your life can be easier said then done, which is why we have put together this gift guide to give you some ideas. With the festive season coming up, this is the perfect guide as you can get a head start on your gift shopping.

We are so excited to be partnering with Valmoh Accessories for this guide, they offer the most unique accessories for men. Their service and products are amazing and best off all they will delivery to your door wherever you are in SA.

Log onto their site at www.valmoh.co.za to start shopping, their website is super user friendly and pleasant to shop on.

Now onto our gift guide:

1. The classic tie

You can never go wrong with a classic tie but why not mix it up with a funky or floral design.

2. Sock it to em

Yes socks, Valmoh has some of the coolest socks around so why not let his quirky personality show with a pair of puzzle or polka dot socks.

3. The cuff link

I was so excited when I saw Valmoh's novelty cuff links, perfect for the gamer or tennis player in your life. If he loves Batman or is a fireman, you are also covered.

4. Pocket Squares

The pocket square has become a staple for the modern man, these pocket squares from Valmoh has the potential to pull an average tailored look into the A-list look.

5. Tie pins and Lapel pins

Finally to finish off his look, why not get him a tin pin to go with his tie or a lapel pin for a little something extra.

I just want to mention how great Valmoh's packaging is. It's basically already wrapped 😉

PS: If you are a stylish guy, why not go ahead and get these items for yourself.

Purchase from their website at www.valmoh.com and be sure to follow the on Instagram @valmoh_offcial.

Love Always

Who loves maps ? Definitely ME!! So when I came across Modern Map Art's Instagram Page, I absolutely loved this concept of turning Street Maps and Trail Maps into pieces of wall art. I chose the Johannesburg street map because I've fallen in love with Jhb and it has become my new home

I've been in Jhb for nearly three years now and I must say I've become a city girl

This piece of art is the perfect addition to my study room.

If you want your own city map, you can check out Modern Map Art Instagram Page (@modernmapart) or www.modernmapart.com . You can select from different sizes and colors and of course you can also select from a huge selection of cities and countries.

Hope you babes get inspired.

If your an oily girl I have found your holy grail!, I have tried so many foundations trying to find the perfect one for the an oily skin type and after a few months of trying different products, it's safe to say the Estée Lauder double wear wins !

Side note: I know that this foundation is definitely high end but once you try it there's no going back!

✨It is a Liquid Formula

✨Completely Matte finish

✨Does not Transfer

✨Medium to Full Coverage-depending on how much product you chose to use.

✨Does not Oxide

✨Price Point R585

✨Amount of product 30ml

✨Application - Brush or Sponge,but I find a damp Beauty Blender works best.

✨Pros:

•Super long wearing and does not crease at all(the longest I've worn this foundation was 16 hours and I only had to blot my nose after the 6th hour).

•Setting with powder is optional, but preferred to increase the longevity of the product.

•I have extremely sensitive skin and I found no irritation.

•The product does have an SPF of 10 which means it's great for the day but it may flash back.

✨Cons:

•Drys down quickly so you have to work fast during application or do a section at a time.

•It definitely is matte so if you prefer glowy natural skin this wouldn't be a favorite for you.

•There's no pump,so you do tend to waste product, it's best to use a little and build it up.

I hope you babes find this review helpful, this really is an amazing product that is worth a try, if you have any other questions/ concerns please feel free to DM me.

Hi Beauties

August is almost here and some of our gorgeous followers are sharing the things they have been loving this past month:

1. __Khanyi_

These boots are my go to shoes when I'm planning on club hopping.

When I go out I usually prefer sneakers for comfort so I can dance properly, but these boots are so amazingly comfortable. What I love most about owning them is that they're comfortable enough to dance in and edgy for a club but they're also and classy and stylish enough for me to be allowed in the lounge/restaurant next door with a dress code. I just fit in everywhere and I just love the suede material.

Side-note; I'm not a party animal 🙈

Boots from YDE

2. @thekaamilahpatel

Hello! I am Kaamilah, a fashion enthusiast and perfume lover!

Oud Ispahan is my all time favorite perfume, because it's fragrance takes me back to one of my favorite shopping destinations - DUBAI ♥️ It is part of Christian Dior's exclusive perfume range, so can only be purchased at 15 Dior stores worldwide! It's a unique fragrance and it's one of a kind range appeals to many, me especially!

The black opium is by yves saint laurent, and is one of my favorites too, along with the Ricci Ricci, by Nina Ricci - the black opium has a rich musk fragrance that sweeps deep in to any garment. Many have complimented this fragrance when I've worn it, and it's definitely amongst my top 10. Ricci Ricci is my standard fragrance for my Sunday tea's with my grand mom! It's filled with delight and happiness with its soft floral fragrance and is perfect for any sunny garden day!

Forever new is my go-to shop, where I purchase most of my casual daily wear and the accessories that go with it. I love this bag, because it has both a trendy and chic look, and it goes with everything!

These are just a handful of items that I absolutely love! And now you know a little bit about me!

Follow my Instagram page: thekaamilahpatel and follow my style and fashion journey as I show you my world through it!

3. @thirushka_arjuna

This subtle bag from Zara is the perfect essential for both work and play, ideal for every woman who wants to add to her outfit and set the bar within the evolving world of fashion.

The beaded works on the bag makes even a simple outfit look so glamorous. It's just the perfect size for all your girly essentials, from lip stick to sanitizer.

The chained straps make the bag steady so you'd never have to worry about it falling off your shoulder while it is still fashion forward.

4. @marusha_05

"Steve Madden is mainly known for a beautiful range of heels and boots, however the sneaks are just as amaze!

This pair is actually from the U.S which makes it quite unique here.

They're super versatile, what I love about it is that I can wear them with a good pair of denims or a cute dress. Not to mention that they're super comfortable! I can wear these babies for almost the whole entire day!"
