The Purple Gypsy

Winter has arrived in South Africa. The mornings have become quite cold as well as the evening. This is a look I believe is perfect for this time of the year. It can be woren as a casual day outfit however,it is also a great look for a night out to a pub with your friends. This wonderful jacket from Pick n Pay Clothing has become an incredibly important piece in my winter wardrobe. It is so warm due to the inner layer of fleece and just goes with everything. The tassel bag from Cotton On is a Must-Have in every Gypsies wardrobe. One can never go wrong when pairing a tan tassel bag. This Pick n Pay Clothing jersey is so comfortable and is a very versatile piece. It can also be wore as a poncho in summer or over another jersey in winter. I hope you all keep warm but still fabulous at this cold time of year! Outfit Details Jersey: Pick n Pay Clothing Boots: Jet Scarf: Pick n Pay Clothing Glasses: Ray Ban Handbag: Cotton On W

This allows you to go back, read and reflect on your memories. Even if you don't get the time everyday to write just jotting down a few of the most special memories is still a great thing.  Typo have some lovely Travel Journals.

Taking pictures on your phone uses a lot of its battery and so a power bank will be needed. Don't forget to charge it overnight. Polaroid Ca

Essence is one of my favourite cosmetic brands. They have so much variety and great quality products. This review is on a few of my Essence favourites at the moment. These products give off a very boho feeling and incorporate nude colours. Essence velvet stick is an amazing Lip Colour. My personal favourite colour is Peony Star (colour in photos). It makes your lips feel so moist and ,when used together with the lip liner from the Essence line, it is very long-lasting on your lips. It is actually in the form of a pencil and it is so soft on your lips which makes it very easy to apply. This spray is a must have in any beauties make-up collection. It ensures that your make-up keeps for longer periods of time. It is a miracle how much it actually helps and allows your make-up not to run or rub off throughout the day. This Essence product is a top coat with a difference. Not only does it protect the base nail colour, it also adds a shimmer to the na
