Late Night Shopping every Thursday in November


We know it's tough to fit in shopping during the working week - so all the shops at the Parks are staying open until 7pm every Thursday night in November. It will be a bit of a buzz - so pop in for a glass of wine and a little retail therapy!!

 We hope to see you on Thursday!!

Great packaging, lovely price makes for a wonderful gift!

Lovely porcelain filled candles make a very special gift.

These candles are available in Jasmine, English Rose and Sandalwood Vanilla and packaged in a gorgeous box!

 

I am not sure if you've noticed but the patterns on the packaging of the box are reflected in the texture of the porcelain - a fabulous detail we think..

And at only R120 each you can afford to buy 2!

In store now

Bensimon elastic tennis shoes in store..





via I Heart You

We love Bensimon slip-on elastic tennis shoes - easy to wear but still elegant. They've been a staple in France for 25 years and we can see why.

I hate to admit it but I was an avid Felicity fan so was thrilled to find this picture of Kerri Russel looking relaxed and gorgeous in hers.

In store at Polish now for R460.

Sealed with a kiss..


We all love a little charm and so we're now stocking the SWAK X charms range. They include hearts, peace signs, feathers and our current favourite a map of Africa. Suspended from a silk chord they're feminine and pretty and appropriate for all ages.

The necklaces are packaged in a box with an uplifting quote on the back. If you prefer you can also wrap them around your wrist and wear them as a bracelet.

SWAK X donates a percentage of its annual profits to the Tomorrow Trust, a non-profit organisation that educates students affected by HIV and Aids.

Prices start at R200.

We're back..


Last year when I started our blog I naively thought it would be easy to add to my daily work and wouldn't take much time at all.

Oh how wrong I was! Taking on the management of Park Cafe and not having Lex around for a few months resulted in very little free time and sadly it was the blog that fell off the to-do list.

But we're back with a vengeance and promise we're going to look further than our little world at the Parks to those of you out there that may not be such regular visitors. Just like the wonderful Aspasia Karras mentions in her editorial for Marie Claire June issue, it's very easy for life to become parochial. She also credits Polish's weekly manicures with sorting out her gnawed cuticles and Ziphora, Cleo and Sunshine (3 of our wonderful therapists) for providing her with some insight to Soweto and extending her vocabulary.

Be sure to check out the rest of the June issue and their fabulous blog.

So be sure to continue to check out our blog.

We promise not to be scarce.
