Lots of slops
If you're a fan of supermodel Gisele Bundchen's sandals, you'll be glad to know Woolies has them in again this year. This time round, however, they've got six different styles to choose from! The collection is called 'Colours of the Sea' and draws its inspiration from the ocean. Prices range from R180 to R299. Another sandal making waves is the FitFlop – this month sees the launch of the FitFlop WalkStar III, R699. Available in a range of colours, it features an ultra-comfy soft microfiber lining. Naturally, like the original, it also boasts multi-density micro-wobbleboard technology to help tone your legs and butt as you walk. If they're good enough for celebs like Sylvester Stallone, Madonna and Angelina Jolie, they're good enough for us! To locate your nearest stockist, call (021) 510 7608.

Etincelle Paris
French boutique chain, Etincelle Paris, have just received their summer stock – and it's just as sexy as it is sophisticated!

Beauty spots
Heard about Yemaya? It's a hot new holistic spa and hair salon in Mouille Point, Cape Town where you can get your hair done, enjoy a traditional spa treatment (think facials, massages, manis...) and indulge in one of their slightly more esoteric treatments! (Would you fancy a Tarot Reading and Channelling, R400, with that tint?) They also have a Lightsheer laser for hair removal and offer a cellulite and toxin-zapping Bellabaci massage. Pay them a visit at www.yemaya.co.za.
Another fab new beauty hot spot is the Jane Iredale The Skin Care Makeup flagship store in Piazza da Luz, Sea Point. Here you'll be able to shop for all things Jane Iredale and get free skin care and makeup consultations from qualified makeup artists.

To get your own super-stylish Habits kaftan, (R1 299), also available in plain black and an assortment of summery brights, pop into the store or simply visit them online at www.habits.co.za.
