editor’s letter
occasional magpie, I find the combination of white and metallic very appealing. I have had many happy wardrobe, home and party moments with the pair and will continue to seek them out whatever the season. Happily, this issue is awash in them. Choose your perfect white ensemble from the Edgars line-up in ‘The Minimalist’ on page 48 and turn to ‘Rise and Shine’ on page 76 for the very lovely rosegold beauty look to go with it. Children (and inner children) will be delighted by the offering in ‘Bright Young Things’ on page 22 – hurray for that perfect twirly white dress! We also have a very beautiful selection of white, neutral and delicately sparkled lingerie on page 26. Of course, as the old saying goes ‘All that glitters is not gold’, which is particularly true from a wellness perspective. We take a look at the intoxicating appeal of social media in ‘#DigitalDivide’ on page 34 and how to find balance in its midst. Our round up of beach destinations on page 84 should inspire you to get away from it all for some much needed restoration (we’ve covered sunscreen and holiday scents too). To keep you motivated, we asked three experts for advice on lasting resolutions in ‘New Year, New You’ on page 92 and for the inside track on 2015, read our trend round-up on page 40 to find out what’s going to be big in the world of fashion, beauty, décor and more. As ever there is a festive sprinkling of benefits, giveaways and wins throughout this issue. Visit edgarsclub.co.za for more. Wishing you a balanced and joyful season and New Year,
