Pretty Finds: Indalo Bags + Jabu Ties

Just sharing two very impressive pretty finds I've just stumbled upon, both by local manufacturers.

One

Indalo Bags, wowza, I have to have one of these like yesterday. I'm busy bargaining with my inner accountant to let me have it against my budget. Not a crazy purchase though cause they are an absolute steal for under a grand. My wallet is definitely itching for one!

Two

These Ties by Jabu. I bought one on the spot! For R150 each they are an amazing accessory to transform a drab shirt. I'm not the fashion files but I love these and I think they are bang on trend.

AMAZE!

Just so you see it again and love it more.

Forbes Woman Africa Media Launch

Salutations!

Of course being the gal that I am, I lay my Twitter pride down to go on an unashamed groupie rant about my desperate neeeeed to be at this event. Lo and behold, I won! The Forbes twitter handle DM'd yours truly to give me details of the event including the fact I had ALL ACCESS to the event and me + one would be chauffeur driven by JaguarSA...I died a small death and went to socialite heaven.

It was everything I imagined it to be. - A puree of frighteningly important people all crammed into a fabulous venue and left to idea-mate. My friend and I had an inspiration overload. I am a firm believer in media as a force of change. The more we tell our own stories in our own voice, the better our chance of moving the world's perspective of us into a truer place...and of course there is a lot that can be said for perspective, perception and truth.

Cheryl Carolus, an Independent Non-Executive Director for Gold Fields and Chairperson of Peotona Holding was my favourite speaker of the evening. She gave an electrifying account of her belief in and advocation of Women Leaders. I especially loved her line "Business women are NOT men in lipstick" - could never have said it better myself. We need more women to believe in women....this point will never be labored. 

All in all it was a blaze of an evening, we met the earth-shattering Dr Precious Moloi-Motsepe. - I would need a whole new blog to speak about how amazing she is. 

Anyhow, this is by no means a blow-by-blow account. The rest I'm sure you'll be able to read about in the debut copy of FWA.
