Diamond Dreams Launch

On Thursday the 21st of November Amina Parker and I went to the Diamond Dreams event on behalf of Cosmopolitan Magazine. Diamond Dreams is a new Diamond engagement/wedding ring store in Canal Walk. Before you even look at the diamonds, you first find yourself staring at the beautiful romantic decor. From the Scott Fitzgerald books, to the portraits of well known couples, the entire store shouts out 'love'. The rings are out of this world beautiful and made me very envious of any bride to be!
On arrival we could choose any number from the ring boxes, and at the end of the launch a lucky draw was done and the winner won a beautful drop diamond necklace.
To view more of Diamond Dreams, you can get hold of them on Twitter @DiamondDreamsSA or their website or you could do yourself a huge favour and go view their amazing rings at shop 613 Canal Walk (and perhaps persuade your loved one to buy you some diamonds?)

OneSight Acoustic Event Giveaway

What is a festival without a pair of Ray-Bans? There are not many things in life that I cannot live without, but my Ray-Bans are one of those things. Established in 1937, the Ray-ban Aviator was designed to protect US air force pilots from high-altitude glare. Today Ray-Bans Aviators aims to satisfy an active and contemporary look and is a must have wardrobe item for any girl or guy who loves the ‘Ray-Bans’ way of life; fun, fearless and active.

                                                             My two pairs of Ray-Bans

                                                
“This Saturday the 23^rd of November, Ray-Ban presents ‘Onesight Acoustics’ at the exquisite Backsberg Wine Estate in Paarl. This relaxed yet uber trendy event will raise funds for OnsSight and will feature amazing local performers such as Arno Carstens, aKing and Al Bairre. OneSight is Luxottica’s global charity that helps give back the gift of sight through eyewear clinics, to those who cannot afford it. Over the last 25 years OneSight has helped 8.4 million people in 40 countries to receive proper vision care. Ray-Ban, as part of the Luxottica Group, supports OneSight and the aim for this acoustic day out at Backsberg Wine Estate is to raise R130 000-00 for the charity.

Funny man Rob van Vuuren, who recently returned from a very successful tour of ‘Three Little Pigs’ to Edinburgh and Amsterdam, will be the MC for the day. In addition to the excellent entertainment value ‘OneSight Acoustics’ is set to deliver, this day out is in aid of a very worthy cause. Help OneSight to eradicate the global vision crisis, affecting more than half a billion people, whose sight could be restored with an eye exam and a pair of glasses. Money raised from this event will specifically go towards the annual Vision Clinics hosted in South Africa.

Food stalls will serve light meals while Backsberg will be selling wine, beer (please no BYO) and soft drinks - picnic baskets and blankets are encouraged for those who want to make a day of it. Ray-Ban urges everyone to be responsible – don’t drink and drive.

Tickets are available online from Plankton.mobi – R150 per ticket, with kids under 6 allowed in for free and over 6 (up to 18 years) only R80 per ticket. Gates will open early at 11am while entertainment kicks off from 2pm” (Press Release,Ray-Ban)

Luckily for you I have a set of double tickets to this amazing event on Saturday 23^rd November.This event is a perfect way to not only mingle with the Ray-Ban crew as well as socialites, but a  way to give back to a really good cause!
