Tart's recent collection is some of the most exciting work Cari Stephenson has produced. Her individually sewn and knotted tassels are meticulously made by hand. Modern, fun, colourful garments bring out the peacock in the wearer.

 

Eye-catching light reflectors are a great way to add dimension to your look. Mirrored sunglasses make a strong summer statement. Persol sunglasses, R2,040, Sunglass Hut.

 

The Palace Pro Adidas sneaker launched this month, much to my excitement. They're some of the most comfortable sneakers that you can wear with everything from a dress to culottes. Sneakers, R2,399, Baseline (021-422-0465).

Thalia Strates makes beautifully crafted handbags from springbok hide. Allie clutch bag, R2,480, Thalia Strates.

House of Gozdawa is a new Cape Town-based fragrance range. All perfumes and oils are handmade in small batches and free of chemically enhanced ingredients. House of Gozdawa Extrait De Parfum in Andrea, R2,000 for 50ml.

 

Men Love Mystery by MAC is a gorgeous shade. MAC Matte Lipstick in Men Love Mystery, R210.
