Last week I went to the V & A Waterfront for the opening of Cape Town's first Tiger Of Sweden store. It was a fantastic fashion reunion among chic threads, a live band and delicious drinks ending with an afterparty at Shimmy Beach Club. Events season is definitely in full swing. Tiger of Sweden is a Scandinavian brand that turned 100 this year and they offer classic menswear, stylish ladies garments and great jeans that Clouds Drummond told me she had to get her hands on. I am in love with their suits, makes me keen to dress my boyfriend up. A R25 000 voucher was given away in a lucky draw on the night, can you imagine that shopping spree? Ahh, dreams! Thanks to Brand Group for the launch, they sure know how to throw a party and their goodie bags are a treat.

Last Wednesday I attended the Call It Spring launch. There's about seven new standalone stores all over South Africa and the latest is at the V & A Waterfront right next to the hotly anticipated Topshop. It's a Canadian brand and the latest collection has a rock n roll festival vibe featuring studded bags and sexy accessories fit for any road trip or Coachella weekend. I find the prices pretty reasonable (not much more than Zoom) so I bought a pair of shoes and two pairs of earrings on the night - I can't get enough of crosses, it's officially a problem. Anyway I wore the heels last weekend and found them very comfortable.
The launch had the cutest theme with fun finger foods including everything from popcorn to hot dogs. Adrian Culhane gave a great live performance; several guests commented that they kept thinking it was a cd because it was so polished. I even asked him about a song, thinking he was covering a popular indie track, turned out it was his original material so I need to get my hands on that. The Glam Cam photobooth was such a great addition with prints shooting out as soon as the pics were snapped. I had so much fun pretending to be some jilted songstress and hanging with all the girls. Check out the photos below or more on Facebook. Are you gonna swing by the store? If you do, go after today so you can hit up Topshop too!
