Fashion to keep you hot this winter

As autumn's icy breath tickles the back of our necks and we swop summer sandals for "boots with the fur", we best be finding out what the new winter fashion trends are. Our fearless photographer Johnny Lai Sang heads backstage at the recent Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Johannesburg to get the scoop on what will be keeping us hot this winter. Also, check out our galleries of Fabiani and Belvedere Vodka at the MBFW.

In other news, we say congrats to all the Fleur du Cap Theatre Awards and Zabalaza Festival winners, and American rock band; The Fray have been announced to make their SA debut in September this year (tickets on sales tomorrow)!

New competitions this week see you stand the chance to win two tickets to the Sweet Snack Expo in Joburg and last Kirstenbosch Summer Concert of 2014 featuring Jeremy Loops!

Keep cosy!
