Keeping up
with the
kold… We all want to look fabulous at any given time but it is so difficult to bundle up and still look great at the same time. With so many winter accessories to keep you warm, it can be overwhelming. Bulky sweaters, coats and boots can leave you looking like a haphazard bag lady if you are not careful.
Being chic and stylish is tricky if you are covered from head to toe in layers and a bulky coat. You can avoid the marshmallow effect and keep your style lust worthy, by following a few simple rules. You cannot throw a giant parka over a cute outfit. Instead cover up with an equally cute trench coat and make sure the coat’s hem is longer than the hem of your inner outfit. The idea is so that we can still see the outfit while you keep warm at the same time. Another tip is to balance out big volume. Snoods or mega loop scarves are the in thing at the moment, but for timeless fabulousity , offset the bulkiness with a fitted jacket and skinny pants. If it gets too cold and you cant help but put on that super bulky coat , clinch your midsection with a skinny belt so that you accentuate your waist for that sexy hourglass effect. Give your legs a foxy makeover. Break up with your shapeless boots as they will definitely make your lower half look stumpy. When you go shopping for boots, look for a tall leather pair that will elongate your legs in a very flattering way as shown in the picture above. So ladies don’t let frostbite get your wadrobe down,it is possible to strike a balance between chic and comfort. Xoxo…love what you wear

Define Your Own Beauty W
ith the advent of the multi currency economy there has been an influx of original and fake beauty products onto the Zimbabwean market. Skin lighteners and cosmetics that claim to do something for your face but never do or do so at the cost of long term damage to your skin and especially your face. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Just like this article may have an agenda, all cosmetics manufacturers and retailers also have an agenda. It is up to you to believe, to try out, to experiment and to get comfortable with yourself and the products that you purchase as you work towards how to define your own beauty and become comfortable in your own skin. The beauty industry is cyclical in telling you what’s in, what’s good and what you have got to use in order to be “perceived” of as beautiful. My article is about your face, the value that skin care brings over make-up, gathered from training, googling and celebrity make-up artistes’ blogs, collated with my own opinion to which I am entitled . Should it excite you to execute decisions that may help you to accentuate your beauty, then you have definitely exceeded in defining your own beauty. Radiance begins with great skin. Skin care must be the main focus, whilst makeup should then enhance your beauty. Some women feel the pressure of what they should look like, what foundation to use and how to cover up zits, dark spots leading to looking for quick fixes which we cannot offer. Flawless true to tone clear skin is trendy, albeit most of us don’t have the skin to get in on the whole fresh-and-flawless look and feel. The movie industry is trying out “no-makeup-looks” and fashion runway shows like Marc Jacobs have make-up artists playing up models brows and lashes and tint arches so that they don’t worry about their natural model looks on the runway through out a show. The fresh face is having its moment. If the recent fall of 2014 collections are any indication, skin care may be the new makeup. Skin care takes care of your skin, make-up enhances your beauty. Long term effects of Skin Care has advantages of 1. Reducing your age-look by at most ten years. 2. Delays wrinkling 3. Protects damage from sun and gravity 4. Allows a matte finish and radiant glow when you apply make up
SKIN CARE TO ENHANCE YOUR MAKE-UP
• F ind the right cleanser that removes oil and makeup, but doesn’t dry out your skin. • A thorough cleansing of your face at the end of the day is essential. • Use multi-tasking skincare products, try a combination moisturizer, anti-aging serum, and sunscreen that works best for you. • Don’t spend time treating problems you don’t have. Skincare isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation. Get back to basics and evaluate what’s best for your skin. Do not stock up on a whole host of clashing products on your dressing table from gifts with purchases, samples and crazy suggestions from your friends. Stick to that one product or brand that has worked for you. • Prioritize your make-up base, then ‘pop’ a feature that best suits your face. • Use low-maintenance makeup. • Zone in on a focal point, whether that’s the eyes, lips, or even brows. • Enhance your complexion with anything from a tinted moisturizer to a full foundation and concealers routine. • Pick the feature you want to focus on. • Highlighting your eyes by smudging pencil on the outer corners of your upper lids, curling your lashes, and then swiping on mascara is a suggestion to maintain a natural look. • Pick products that are easy to use and apply, keep the number of products you use at a minimum. “Just picking up and putting down each product ends up being a lot of time”. • Skin care–as–makeup proponent can eliminate the need for a foundation or highlighter altogether. For example, you could warm your skin tone up with jojoba oil in place of bronzer, which, besides being incredibly moisturizing, has an almost imperceptible yellow undertone that cuts through redness. “It really gets the skin tone to glow”. • Some makeup artists like Daniel Martin turn to a bit of clear lip balm or lip correctors, dabbed onto the eyelids for shine, in place of traditional shadow to leave the faces effortlessly undone.

Trench
coats The trench coat can be described as a quintessential wardrobe piece. It is stylish, iconic and perfect for any occasion.
Did you know? The name trench coat was dubbed by soldiers in the front line in the 1st world war.
It’s History Trench coat was designed in the 1st world war as an alternative for the heavy serge that was worn by the British and French soldiers. During the 1st world war the trench coat was modified to include shoulder straps and D rings. The straps were for the attachment of epaulettes and the D rings for carrying swords, maps and other equipments. The inventor still remains debatable between Thomas Burberry and Aquascutum.
Why still love this trend.
The trench coat has stood the test of time. Its classic silhouette is unmatched and it quickly makes any ensemble look polished and put together. Its multi-seasonal fabrics and colours make it appropriate for all occasions and weather types. The trench coat is a wardrobe classic and it is definitely worth the splurge.
4 tips for a trench coat 1) If you do not have a trench coat in your wardrobe start with a classic style in black or your wardrobe basic colour. If you already have start adding colour and different fabrics. 2) Use a trench coat to add polish to your outfit but do not wear it with other classic pieces you will look too conservative. 3) If you want to have a more figure fit wear closed or open with belt tied around your waist. 4) For a relaxed look wear it open, you can tie the belt at the back to give more shape.

#DESTINATION
EVENTS
By Sandra Mehlomakhulu
I encourage business executives to go beyond their comfort zones and seek brand solutions for the future. In my December 2014 article for this publication, I challenged buoyant business executives to search for new event ideas in 2015. I challenged our business community to pay close attention to the event experiences that they offered their customers. I encouraged “well-thought out, big event spend”. I urged for fresh event-thinking to keep customers excited and engaged. This season, I am encouraging optimistic business executives to venture into DESTINATION EVENTS. We all need a fresh context, fresh audience, original medium and new challenges from time to time. Destination events will provide the freshness, optimism, excitement, engagement and; hopefully; the sales that we are striving for in 2015. Start new conversations about your brand with new people, in a new panorama and bring back new ideas. Create new event settings that provide an uncommon platform to interact with customers and get candid customer feedback. Notegate is an experienced destination management company. We provide pre-event production planning services and production of destination events of various types and sizes. We create educational, networking and incentive opportunities for our blue chip clients. We have done trade shows, exhibitions, conferences, charity fundraisers, breakfast meetings and sporting events.
Optimism and experiential experience are the running themes in Notegate’s 2015 brand and event conversations. Businesses task Notegate, to increase their visibility, positioning, and credibility. Our job is to convince consumers and customers about the value of a brand. We do this by providing convincing opportunities for interaction. More and more, destination events have created special and persuasive marketing opportunities for our clients.

The world is a big place; and if we venture a little out of our comfort zones, we may find that value for money exists outside of our immediate location. Sandra Mehlomakhulu
”
“
The events that we see are often “too safe” and do not offer an experiential experience. More and more, Zimbabwean businesses will be challenged to push the event envelope. With the increased push for customization of products, there will be an increased demand for unique events to showcase unique company products. Sandra Mehlomakhulu
...from page 20 Here are some points to consider.
1. NEW LANDSCAPES
A landscape is simply a scene, setting, location and background. In events, location is most of the story. Very often the location of an event is linked to its theme or the venue is the draw card. Sometimes the low subscription to an event may be solely attributed to the poor choice of event location. We are persuaded to choose certain locations because of the unique sights and sounds. Zimbabwean businesses need to be more adventurous in choosing event locations. Zimbabwe offers a variety of event locations and each locale has its own vibe. The people and places of Zimbabwe are not identical; there are some unique characteristics that are found in certain parts of the country. Masvingo has the ruins, Hwange has its game, Vic Falls has its carnival atmosphere and the majestic falls, Kariba has amazing sunsets and Nyanga has cool serenity. There are abundant options for those who want cutting edge event solutions. Pick event locations or themes that are relevant to your product. For example; a beach or marina scene may be relevant to a business in the fishing, tourism or boat travel business. Such a business must actively seek out those locations rather than confine itself to discussions in urban hotel rooms that do not heighten the experience of the services or products on offer. Try as we might, it’s difficult to create an authentic beach, boat or marina scene in Harare CBD without a big event budget. However, by simply travelling a little way out of town; to Kariba, Durban, Dubai or Banket; we may find settings or locations that naturally lend themselves to the beach or marina theme. If we venture further still to regional and international destinations, we widen our perspectives even more. Take a company that has its headquarters in Zimbabwe and various regional offices. If they are inclined to hold formal events in Harare exactly the same way as they would do in DRC, Malawi, Angola, South Africa and Namibia; there may be a disconnect. Business norms in Zimbabwe may be unacceptable in DRC, for example. A professional event manager should be tasked to maintain the company event standards but infuse a clever adaptation to the business cultures of each region.
2. LIFESTYLE EXPERIENCES, LIFESTYLE BRANDS
Sometimes customers do not consider purchasing certain products because they have not been enticed into the lifestyle with which those products are associated; for instance, if a customer has never been on safari in our amazing Zimbabwean bush settings, then it is unlikely that they will buy safari gear. However, if customers were engaged through constant messages in the media showing the fun and adventurous lifestyle of Zimbabwean safari experiences, then safari gear companies would be experiencing better sales. By exposing customers to certain lifestyle or event experiences, businesses can create an appetite for their own products. Being at a glamorous event in a chic locale will lure consumers into the brand’s culture. Consumers will associate the event setting with the lifestyle of typical consumers of a particular product. Diddy has
22
WWW.TRUWORTHS.CO.ZW
JUNE 2015
F A S H I O N
”
been a pioneer in this art. His lifestyle is a symbol of the brands with which he is associated. The image that we have is that Diddy’s life is lived on yachts, planes and in marvelous destinations; wearing, drinking, living and promoting his lifestyle brands. An invitation to a Diddy party in Ibiza is an invitation into a lifestyle…or another world altogether. The invited guests do not suspect that they are at a marketing event; they have no suspicion that the purpose of the event is to convert them into brand believers and ambassadors. The purpose of the event invitation is to demonstrate the success of the Diddy brands and to cement the brands positioning. Diddy lives his “Dream Big” philosophy and it plays out at any Diddy event, often held in a fancy destination. If we apply the Dream Big thinking, we are able to open our minds to bigger event possibilities and imagine better event landscapes. We need to create more colorful canvasses that excite and engage more customers.
3. DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, NEW SKILLS
New event locations expose us to different trends, methods, skills, talents and quality standards. Destination events give our team mates and customers exceptional viewpoints. We bring back ideas from our foreign experiences and we can apply those ideas to develop our local product and service offering. In different settings, we can master new ways of marketing our own products and this can open up opportunities. In one of our case studies, the marketing department of a retail company was given a brief to execute. The brief was to hold a special event in one branch, on a one-day promotion, get feedback and reward as many customers as possible in one room. Our research showed that their Mutare branch had mastered communication with customers and could mobilize the most customers. The branch also had the highest sales of the group. The Mutare branch held the record for customer participation in one-day sales promotions. The marketing team of that business chose Bindura because Bindura is nearer to Harare and they said that they “did not want the hassle of driving to Mutare”! That business missed a golden opportunity to get feedback from 897 more engaged customers! The lesson learnt there is that we need to travel into uncomfortable territory to learn from others who have mastered certain skills.
4. NEW LANDSCAPES, NEW PARTNERS
The concept of an “event” is changing. One of the new trends is to do a “mash-up” which may involve a series of events. Consider partnering with other organizations to help create this new event series. A combination of powerful brands makes for better destination events. For example, a traditional golf day may be slightly more appealing if companies partner with other companies and take their big golfing event out to another city or country. Immediately, new networking opportunities are created. There is more visibility and even more people are plugged into the conversation.
5. MASTERING LOGISTICS
Experienced destination managers have learnt to manage event logistics well. Often the challenge in our environment is that the facilities and infrastructure associated with certain locations is sub-standard. We have often found incredible
B U R E A U
sunsets or river fronts without supporting catering or entertainment facilities. Some natural settings are beautiful but have poor hotel establishments in the area. The logistics of reaching some of these incredible sunsets or river fronts can be slightly disheartening. The cost of transporting a whole tent and full equipment for three hundred people has to be worth that sunset! Judging from the feedback from the guests at our last Vic Falls riverside event, it is certainly worthwhile. Try small distances first. One of our targets for one of our clients is to take a big Zimbabwean event to another continent but we have to start small. We are currently building their capacities and working towards better logistical management. Simplify destination choices. The logistics of hosting an event in Victoria Falls may be simple, if your guests are coming from Hwange. Mutare residents may opt for Nyanga as a new event location. Banket has a surprising boating location. If we are willing to go on a little excursion, we can find new locations of interest.
6. INCENTIVE EVENTS
Many companies are rewarding their best sales teams with destination events as part of their incentive program. Recently, we have been selected by a number of clients to tailor destination events packed with teambuilding activities that promote team confidence. These are important events that help keep teams engaged and connected. These events often relax and challenge team members.
7. BUDGETS
Destination events require ingenious event spend. It is important to get value for money and a good return on the investment. Destination events sometimes require a bigger event budget but they can offer more customer impact. For well considered destination events, it may be useful to take small event budget votes that are earmarked for low-impact events and to consolidate them into the budget for high-impact destination events. Some destinations offer discounts and these are often very good deals. With sufficient time to plan, we have found that some foreign destinations work out to be cheaper than some local venues. Not only are they cheaper, they are actually better destinations in that they offer much more for less. The logistics of getting to some of these far off places can be similarly priced to local destinations. In closing, please place emphasis on location, location, location. I encourage you to Dream Big and venture out and forth. I encourage you to try more and more destination events. The fun is in the journey of learning. Cheers to meeting new people and finding new opportunities. Sandra Mehlomakhulu is a founding Director of Notegate. Notegate specializes in business and marketing strategy, research and event management. Notegate has a regional reach and works with many top Zimbabwean brands.

ESSENTIALS
If the abundance of Easter eggs currently lining the supermarket shelves is anything to go by, school holidays are just around the corner. Whether you are a slave to the latest holiday trends from your favorite shops or you already adopt a laid back and reserved approach to the holidays, there is a lot to be said to equip you with an arsenal of this holiday’s basics.
THE COAT
Take a look at the five essentials we think every child should consider adding to their collection this holiday: 1) THE COAT Whatever your age, the coat is a must have this holiday. You can choose one with a collar or one without a collar depending on what suits your fashion taste. The coat adds that finishing touch while making you feel warm at the same time. 2) THE GOWN Cosy up in a warm winter gown as you watch your favorite television show after doing your homework. Couple it with a glass of hot chocolate and you will be sure to be free from the flu this holiday. 3) THE BAG Be sure to match mommy’s wardrobe of accessories with a cute little bag that you can carry wherever you go. Be it a lunch bag you can put your food in or a handbag look-like where you put your cosmetics, this is a must this holiday. 4) YOUR FRIENDS What is a holiday without your friends to play and hang around with? It would be lonely and boring, so be sure to have your friends close by. Don’t forget to share those easter eggs ;-) 5) MOMMY’S GIFT Save the best for last. This is the most important thing to have this holiday. Hope you didn’t forget about Mother’s Day. Show some love and appreciation to mommy this holiday with a gift that will melt her heart away and bring a smile on her face.

Winter Style Guide for Men Fabric Types
An important part of dressing for the winter season is knowing what fabrics you are wearing, because many are warmer than others. The two best fabric choices for dressing in cold climates are cotton and wool. Cotton is not going to be as warm as wool, but it will help keep you warm. Consider a cotton dress shirt as one of your bottom layers when assembling your outfit. Sweaters made from cotton can be worn as well, but again, they won’t be as warm as wool. Wool is the warmest fabric choice out there, and it’s an essential in cold climates. Wool sweaters come in a great variety and selection and they will definitely keep you warm. Wool can be made from sheep, lamb, goat – cashmere, Moreno and angora, vicuna, alpaca or camel hair. Also, if you’re going to wear an over coat, wool is the best choice.
Layering
The most important part of dressing for winter is comfort within your different layers. You want to be warm, but you also want to be functional. You don’t want to have so many layers on that you can’t move, but at the same time you want to have enough to keep you warm. Simplicity is the key when it comes to layering. An undershirt (plain white), then a dress shirt, then a tie, then perhaps a sweater, a jacket and an overcoat should be enough to keep you warm. In terms of your lower body, long johns are a good option for those really cold winter days. They will ensure that your legs stay warm, and having a layer between your skin and trousers will make the wind less of a discomfort. Also, socks are very important for keeping your feet warm, and cashmere or just plain wool socks will be your best option for warm feet. In conclusion there are many choices when you are dressing for cold weather, because quite simply, you wear more clothes than usual. With this in mind, it is crucial to remember that coordination is key. Having colours and layer that correspond correctly will give you a complete look, which is essential, and within this complete look. Being bulky will limit your range of motion and give the illusion of added weight.
