Retro fashion has never been more fun than at the brand new shop, Retrospective, located in shop 345 in Brooklyn Mall (upper level, across from Le Creuset and next to La Spiga). Everything, from the moment you step through the doors, is colourful and happy - the...
A mere 45 minutes from Sandton a little slice of heaven is located on the 16-hectare Kievits Kroon Country Estate. I was invited to experience Kievits Kroon's spa facilities with a friend, for two hours of spa treatments, a delicious lunch, and full use of the spa's...
