Turbans were originally designed to help heads keep their cool in dessert conditions. Nowadays, they’re iconic style items. Not everybody can pull of a turban, but those who can, will love the “Tabatha” turban with bling detail from Forever New.

You don’t need to get a piece from the new Prada collection

to enjoy the stripe trend! Just get your hands on this cute cellphone cover from Funky Fish. We love

the price, too.

Half a decade ago, leather lover Chloe Townsend launched her

inimitable luxury accessory label Missibaba – and never looked back. Gorgeous, unique and

beautifully crafted, Missibaba bags are true objects of desire – like this

particular one called Buckaroo. We love, so very much!

When Belgian cartoonist Pierre Culliford created the first little smurf in 1958, he probably

had no idea that these little blue characters would become such an important part of our childhoods.

To keep up with the times, The Smurfs will return with their

new movie in September 2011 – in 3D, nogal! We found this little guy at Toys R Us, just waiting to

remind you of the kid you used to be.

This solar-powered Waving Queen statuette by Kikkerland at Big Blue is a royal treat. Take her

home, leave her in the sun for a while, wave at her and she’ll

return the favour.

your life easier and your desk a little prettier.

Patented waaay back in 1938, Denman is known as “The Hairdresser’s Hairbrush". Their brushes are easy to clean, durable and easy on the eye, too. We love the children’s range – perfect for de-tangling little locks without tears.

If you’re not quite 21 anymore and all for fuss-free beauty, L’Oréal’s Derma Genesis is worth looking

into. The day cream (also available with SPF) is non-greasy and hard-

working and the night cream, although not sticky, is rich and

pampering. Together they’ll re-plump and illuminate your skin

and make you look visibly younger.
