Durban: Charles & Keith Giveaway

The path to my heart is simple... it involves stationery, shoes and handbags (and food of course). Last week the Charles & Keith team invited a few Durban bloggers to visit their beautiful store in The Pavilion. I've visited one  in Cape Town earlier this year and was in awe! The good news is we finally have our very own store here in good old Durbs. It's pretty much how I would envision my walk in wardrobe (*one day). Each item is designed with care and precision with a trend element, but the key focus is on creating stylish wardrobe staples. We got to chat, hear more about the brand (which is originally from Singapore) and of course gaze with longing at the incredible shoes, bags, belts, purses and sunglasses. 

The cherry on top was the generous gift we each received - a beautiful handbag and a notebook (how did they know)! Luckily the generosity doesn't end there. Charles & Keith wants to spoil a few very lucky Durban ladies. All the bloggers in attendance are running a giveaway - how fun and awesome, plus we are actually competing with each other. We each made a personal selection and what we want you to do is head to the Durban - Pavilion Store and take a picture with your favourite blogger's choice. Hash tag it #charleskeithpav and also at (@) your chosen blogger on social media. 

Of course I want you to pick my pink handbag - so head in store and get snapping! You could win a R500 voucher to spend on your dream item!

So let's recap... To Enter:
  • Go to the Durban Charles & Keith store in The Pavilion. It's located opposite the info desk near Woolies / Edgars.
  • Find my chosen item - it has a little sign with my name on (it is towards the back of the store - see photo above for a clue).
  • Snap a selfie or a pic with my item and the sign.
  • Post it on social media mentioning me (@NadiavdMescht) and use the hash tag #charleskeithpav.
  • That's it - simple and really fun too.

Workshop Fun, Snaps & Details


Last weekend I hosted my last creative business workshop for 2014 - how time does fly when you love your job! I tested out a new venue - Open Plan Studio because as of 1 January 2015 I'll be moving into an office at The Design Factory in the Station Drive Precinct. It made sense to make use of a venue that was in the same building as my new office. Exciting times!

I decided to share a few of the Instagrams from the day as shared by the lovely creatives in attendance. One of my favourite things to do after a workshop is to check the nvdmlearn hash tag and see what people captured on the day. It really gives me a different perspective and seeing the details that others liked also serves as a confirmation of a job well done. 

A new venue meant new challenges which included bringing in some extra help. I worked with Zak & Tonic a whole year ago on their blog. I've loved following their business growth this year so the talented duo were an obvious option to take care of lunch. They did me proud and delivered a delightfully delicious meal. Sean from Open Plan Studio was another great help and of course Claire, my amazingly helpful assistant was on call to help make the day just right. My darling mom played florist with her natural flair and so the day was rounded off with some floral pretties. I'm one lucky girl with all the help I get.

I have several new workshops planned for 2015 so keep an eye out for the updated details.

Thanks to the attendees who make all the work so worthwhile and thanks for sharing these snaps!
