What is top of your wishlist for Christmas from Sandton City? A Louis Vuitton luggage bag – to travel in style!

What will you be buying for your most loved one from Sandton City? My sister is getting Beats by Dr Dre earphones and my kids will wake up on Christmas morning to a brand-new Sony PlayStation. I am also getting my mom a pair of gorgeous Kurt Geiger sandals. 

What is your scent for the summer of 2017? Bvlgari Oriental scent eau de parfum. It’s fresh and spicy (like me!)

What is your song for summer 2017? "Baby Girl" by Cassper Nyovest. It's fresh and has a summery December vibe to it. The perfect track for lazy days by the pool sipping bubbly.

What is your brand of bubbles or other for the summer of 2017? Moët & Chandon Dom Perignon by Karl Lagerfeld. This special-edition Dom Perignon Champagne Brut produced by Moët and Chandon was released in 1998. Champagne has always been synonymous with a luxury lifestyle and this is why it's perfect for me!

What will you be buying for your most loved one from Sandton City? For my mom: make-up, lots of lipstick, because she loves make-up. For my brother: sneakers because he is a sneaker fan. However, I am still shopping for a special gift for my person.

What is your scent for the summer of 2017? Marc Jacobs Decadence. I love the handbag-shaped bottle. It’s so refreshing and it reminds me of summer 2017!

What is your song for summer 2017? DJ Vicky's "Speaker", as I am doing a road trip this summer. It is chilled and has a party vibe. I love R&B music.
