Not happy with this collection, maybe I'd wear slide number 28, but otherwise not a winner... Sorry Fairlady, please improve next months...

Adored the neutral classic pieces combined with stripes and colour highlights in this feature. The combinations work wonderfully, and can set the most fashion phobic at ease. What would make this feature even better? Alongside the gorgeous but pricey pieces, a budget option for seasonal fashions that come and go. Classics are worth investing in, but frivolous pieces maybe not.

This Wardrope is not my favorite, Its to close to a winter wardrope. I am very dissapointed.

Very nice but too much like winter combinations.

In Durban would swelter in this selection. The lines are nice but the collection is altogether more winter than spring and the pink shoes with the red handbag look sad. Thick stockings for spring are just hopeless.

Loved some of the combinations but not a fan of stripes as only a fortunate few can carry it off. Black pantihose and white shoes are a fashion NO-GO in my book. Some items are way too pricey for my budget. Hopefully next time you can give us more of a Spring/Summer combination with reasonably priced items.

Nice but far too many stripes! My colleagues will start calling me 'Kwagga'.
