We do understand how completely nerdy it is to put a kitchen gadget on our wish list *hangs head in shame*. But strewth … this Cilio lemon squeezer is life-changing. We bought one and we’re now adding fresh lemon juice to absolutely everything! R259 from yuppiechef.com
We feel there’s nothing better than the scent of Italy to cheer up a Winter day. This Acqua di Parma scented candle will illuminate your home with radiant brightness and the unmistakably Italian scent of Luce di Colonia. A harmonious blend of
citrus essences, you’ll find it at woolworths.co.za for R1199.
We rather fancy the locally designed Leocé range … particularly the new Irish Linen Collection. The brand is designed for women of every age, with pieces that can be dressed up for a formal occasion or a day in the boardroom, but also dressed down for a casual dinner date. This dress, in the perfect shade of yellow, is also great for in-between days … lovely as is, but would look great with a blazer or swing coat for cooler days. R1221.95 from leocecouture.com
