There’s so much to love about the holidays, including lazy, sun-filled days – spent in gorgeous summer dresses, of course

ISSA
I
t’s a pleasure to be writing to you for the first time at such a positive point in the year. December and January are big, feel-good months – the sun’s out, family and friends gather, long-awaited holidays are taken and life slows sufficiently for us to reflect and prepare to welcome a fresh new year. Add to that the transformation afoot at Edgars as ever more stellar brands appear in-store – this year has seen the arrival of Topshop and Topman, Mango, Dune London, Jo Malone and Lucky Denim to name a few – and it feels fortuitous indeed. So of course we had to bring you an issue to match this abundant mood. There’s nothing quite like the tropics to bring on an instant holiday glow and they’re quite a feature this season – see our fashion story on page 74 for bold prints, palm motifs and easy-going style. I’m also quite taken by the idea of aspiring to ‘a hammock slung between two palms’ in Tabitha Lasley’s piece Palm Reading on page 48, where she looks at what is driving the tropical trend. Speaking of palm reading, we gathered expert opinions from around the world for our 2014 trend round-up on page 42 so you have the Club inside track on fashion, beauty and lifestyle from the get go. There’s also a gift guide, brilliant offers on that much loved short-haul-to-paradise destination Mauritius, beautiful beauty and fashion matches and more. So head for your hammock and read on. Wishing you a gentle ending to 2013 and a great start to 2014.

GOLD
Linda O’Connell, official SA makeup artist for Maybelline NY “This coming year has incredible looks in store but my favourite is the metallic eye. All shades of gold were seen across the runway, from Dior to Jason Wu. I am especially excited about this trend as every woman can wear gold. Whether it’s a bold gold brow or a simple stroke of gilded eyeliner, both are equally striking.”
BURBERRY PRORSUM
IT’S GOING TO BE BIG! Read on for Club’s 2014 trend round up, where we asked the style set to predict what we can look forward to in the year ahead
PASTEL LACE
3D PRINT
Dion Chang, trend analyst “The recent explosion of 3D printing has been compared to the same shift that occurred at the beginning of the last century, when we moved from an agricultural era to an industrial era: it’s that significant. It enables anyone to manufacture one-off items, from shoes to exquisite home decor – as seen at London’s 100% Design festival. Fashion designers are already using it as an alternative medium.”
BURBERRY PRORSUM
3D Printed Pin Art Clock by iMakr Home Factory at 100% Design
Robyn Cooke, fashion blogger at robyncooke-styleguide.co.za “The challenge with pastel lace lies in finding your own way of wearing this incredibly pretty look. Personally, a lace top or skirt will be my approach, taking inspiration from Burberry’s Spring/Summer ’14 collection. I’m convinced that fashion is going to be a little more ladylike in 2014, so perhaps it’s time to pack away the jeans and embrace pencil skirts.”

ORIGINAL TOUCH
ON THE MOVE
Shala Monroque, creative director of New York’s Garage magazine “Activewear is becoming fashion: there’s a sense of movement in the air. It’s about quick mobility and the clothing that goes with that.”
’50s SHADES BADGLEY MISCHKA
Amy Putman, Citymob “Globalisation and the new-found freedom that accompanies it has caused people to seek comfort in the family, which is why the homemaker trend is making a comeback. Look out for ’50s-inspired colours on the decor scene, like cotton candy pink and robin’s egg blue.”
NAIL IT
Thea Green, founder of Nails Inc. “Key trends for Spring/Summer ’14 include nudes and pastel colours as seen at the Burberry Prorsum, Victoria Beckham and JW Anderson shows. Nails with special effects are also set to be a big trend: it’s all about texture and embellishments.”

BIRDS OF PARADISE
Kerry Hochfelden, Smashbox “Tropical fashion is setting the tone for Spring/Summer ’14 beauty – think exotic flowers and majestic kingfishers, macaws and toucans to provide unlimited inspiration for colourful eyes and lashes.”

TOMMY HILFIGER
Gabby Deeming, decor editor of House & Garden UK “When it comes to decorating I try to avoid trends as they are frequently ‘all or nothing’ schemes that forbid you to deviate from a specific look. There is much more pleasure to be found in decor that celebrates beautiful combinations of colour and pattern, and suggest a home that has gently and thoughtfully evolved. 2014 should be the year of the truly original product – let the hunt begin!”

FASHION SAYS There are no rules to going full bloom: from delicate and ladylike prints to bold and exotic, you can’t go wrong with flower motifs. BEAUTY SAYS This is no place for shrinking violets. Give florals a fresh and modern interpretation with textured, look-at-me eyes and lips to up the trend’s bold appeal.

5. MY NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS are to love more, worry less and to live life to the fullest. Also, to stick to my resolutions!
2. BRIGHTLY COLOURED SUNGLASSES are my favourite summer accessory – a flash of colour can have a big impact.
6. A BEACH PARTY WITH friends and family is how I’d like to spend New Year’s Eve: I’m thinking exotic cocktails and fireworks.
3. CELEBS ON MY fantasy party guest list include Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs, from the show 2 Broke Girls. They look like so much fun.
7. AT THE VERY TOP OF my music playlist are Katy Perry’s ‘Roar’ and ‘I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker’ by Sandi Thom.
4. WHEN IT COMES TO NAILS, I’ll try anything – from polishes in bright colours to this season’s hot all-white nails trend.
8. ON A NIGHT OUT, my handbag must-have is a pair of ballerina flats; they come in handy after a few rounds on the dance floor.
