Festive Wishes and Volpes {GIVEAWAY}

In our last Style Off post we promised it would not be the last word from us for the year… and although this is going out a touch later than we would have liked, we are absolutely delighted to announce that our “adieu” to 2015 includes a giveaway for our special Spruce readers!

You may remember in our Coricraft post that we mentioned the Kramerville store now stocks a range of bed linen, pillows, duvets, towels and curtains from local manufacturer Volpes. At the time, we both agreed that this step was absolutely brilliant; Coricraft Kramerville is quickly becoming the “one stop shop” for all home related purchases.

Volpes has recently expanded their product offering to include an online shopping catalogue, which features items from their newest range of linen “Under the Sun” (think fresh summery florals, crisp white, duck egg blue and Moroccan-inspired warm hues) through to towels and curtains. The range available online is really extensive – and affordable!

To celebrate the launch of their online summer catalogue, Volpes has given us one R1000 voucher to giveaway to a Spruce reader! All you need to do to enter the competition is make sure you are subscribed to Spruce and comment on this post telling us what you would pick from the Volpes collection!

We will announce the winner of this fabulous voucher on Christmas Eve (a nice little prezzie ) via our Social Media accounts (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) so make sure you have entered and are following us to find if you have won!

While Sam still finds herself working (after a short but magnificent break to Mozambique), Ilaria has already joined the lucky souls on holiday soaking up the South African sun! Spruce will also be taking a few days’ off and will return in the New Year.

From both of us – we wish you and yours the most wonderful festive season; may it be filled with love and gratitude!

POLYVORE STYLE-OFF: SUMMER SAFARI

We have had such fun creating different look sets throughout the year; it is always interesting to see how similar our choices are!

It’s now time for our last Polyvore Style-Off for the year!

Most South Africans (especially “Vaalies” like ourselves) will probably be heading down to the coast, or spend our time lounging by the pool over this holiday season so the most likely theme would have been something tropical and beachy BUT we thought we would change it up a bit!

Sam will be heading off to the bush for a few days over New Years, and we felt it was a great inspiration for this month’s style-off:

‘Summer Safari’

This theme also ties in quite well with one of the hottest trends for the summer; Khaki, which is always such a good colour to include in a wardrobe ESPECIALLY if you are going to be observing some wildlife 😉  

Here are the looks, make sure to vote for your favourite in the voting box below! 

City Girl Goes Wild

Down To Earth

The last style-off was won by Sam, who styled ‘Neutral Chic’ making her the overall leader so far! 

While this is not quite our adieu for the year, we hope that whatever you may be getting up to this December holiday, be it the beach, the bush, local of foreign, home or away we hope you have a fabulous one!
