My Kase: What A Rush
Overslept and had to rush to make it in time for church. Saw a bit a sun through the window and thought it was warm, but to my surprise...it is viciously windy!

Fashion World Mourns Style Icon Anna Piaggi
Anna Piaggi (1931 – 7 August 2012) was an Italian fashion writer and style icon.
Anna Piaggi worked as a translator for an Italian publishing company Mondadori, then written for fashion magazines such as the Italian edition of Vogue and, in the 1980s, the avant-garde magazine Vanity. She was known especially for double page spreads in the Italian Vogue, where her artistic flair was given free expression in a montage of images and text, with layout by Luca Stoppini. Since 1969, she used a bright red manual Olivetti Valentine typewriter for her work.
Piaggi had a large clothes collection, including 2865 dresses and 265 pairs of shoes, according to a 2006 exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. She dressed in an exuberant, unique and eclectic way, never appearing in the same outfit more than once in public. Such was her influence and knowledge in the fashion world, Manolo Blahnik dubbed her 'The world's last great authority on frocks'.
Her associates in the fashion world included the fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld (from the 1970s), who has often sketched her, and Manolo Blahnik, who is the designer of many of her shoes. She was the muse of British milliner Stephen Jones. She was also an admirer of British clothes designer Vivienne Westwood and her hats, made by Prudence Millinery. She lived in New York and visited London and Italy periodically since the 1950s.
Piaggi was married to the photographer Alfa Castaldi in 1962 in New York. Castaldi died in 1995.
Anna Piaggi died at the age of 81 on August 7th, 2012

Mr Price Online Store
Great news for Mr Price fans - the store's entire range (nearly 18 000 items!) is now available to shop online...
I know many of you, like myself, love Mr Price for those ridiculously reasonable basis. It's one of my favourite places to pick up on-trend clothing for a bargain price. However, if you don't live near a flagship store you don't always get a chance to buy the best items - or you might simply hate shopping malls and contending with masses of other enthusiastic buyers.
Enter www.MrP.co.za - a game-changing online store offering pretty much EVERYTHING Mr Price has to sell.
Five things you need to know about Mr Price Online:
1. How to shop
Visit www.MrP.co.za from your PC, mobile phone or tablet. Sign up for an account, add items to your basket and you're on your way! The online store includes ladies', men's and kids' fashion, as well as accessories (bags, belts, sunnies, mobile phone covers) and jewellery. The only thing I was disappointed not to see on the site were scarves - Mr Price often has a great selection of affordable scarves but let's hope these will be added soon!
2. How to pay
You can pay for your fashion fix with a credit card, cheque card, EFT, your Mr Price Money account (if you have one) or even with cash, if you opt to have your purchases delivered to your nearest store.
3. How to get your hot fashion fix
This is bound to get our readers outside the big cities excited - you can have your order delivered directly to your door, your office, your nearest post office or Mr Price store, anywhere in the country, for a flat fee of R35.
4. How to return
If you're not happy with your order for whatever reason, you can return easily to your nearest store (don't forget your receipt) or via courier or your post office.
5. It's safe!
The online store makes use of CyberSource for secure payment, so your personal details are guaranteed to be safe with them.
Still nervous about online shopping?
Don't be! This is a great way to get to browse the entire Mr Price collection from the comfort of your home. You can even buy online from within a Mr Price store - a great solution if the branch you're at is out of stock of an item you want. This means no more phoning around from branch to branch to see if they have what you're looking for!
I already have a few items in my bag so I'll keep you guys posted on how quick their delivery service is.
Happy shopping :)
