Set Your Shirt on Fire with Zippo-like Cufflinks

Can you believe that cufflinks go back to the Middle Ages where their precursor, ‘cuff strings’, adorned the wrists of fashionable gentlemen of the day. One of the earliest references to what we now recognize as cufflinks was made in the London Gazette of 1684, which referred to a pair of cuff buttons set with diamonds – styling! But can we say they same for these mini-lighter cufflinks of today??

I suppose you’ll always stand out from the crowd (one packed with smokers). And even if people think you’re a complete nob, at least you’ll always have a lighter handy. You can purchase the set of cufflinks here for $40 (about R300).

Superb Superga Flag Shoes

In 1911 in Torino, Italy Walter Martiny started the production of rubber-soled footwear branded with the Superga logo. In 1925 his designs expanded to included footwear with vulcanized rubber soles – the Superga 2750 Heritage style was born!

To this day, the 2750 is still an icon and serious fashionistas like me will love the latest Superga Limited Edition flag shoes. You can get em at Sportscene stores…

Maternity Shirt

So I know a lot of people having babies of late and I am saddened that I only found this now… I just love the “Loading…Please Wait” text accompanied by a Progress Bar. Nothing says there’s a bun in the oven quite like it!

Great isn’t it?

The Maternity Shirt is 100% cotton, so it definitely isn’t deprived of the comfort factor. Get one from Think Geek for $23 (about R195).
