Lady Kaye’s List of Holiday Essentials

What holiday blog post would be complete without a list of the essential things one requires on an Island Holiday. Here are 10 things that you ought to make sure go into your suitcase and 10 of the most useful beauty products to pack.

Immune to the “world cup fever” I have no shame in saying I STILL have no interest in soccer… and the thought of being in a room full of vuvuzelas scares me as much as being in a room full of screaming women and homosexuals at a Spring Versace/Louis Vuitton/Jimmy Choo fashion show (if South Africa would ever be so blessed as to host such a thing)… [ Read more ]
