What I’m loving…

Letters • Write to flmag@fairlady.com – and remember to put the word ‘Letters’ in the subject line.

Crème de la crème

Nicolene le Roux • Medical doctor at New Somerset Hospital, Cape Town, clinical researcher and honorary lecturer at UCT

Lungi Morrison • Head of operations and sales at Lalela Scarf and SA board member of the Lalela Project

Nicolene Anley • Impact strategist and advisor, and co-founder and director of Luna Belle Ventures

THE WHY, THE WHICH & the wardrobe • We loved catching up with Lungi and the two Nicolenes. Here’s how they layer pieces that reflect African art history and design ingenuity, mix old and new, and channel Victoria Beckham.

OVERWHELMED and OVERSCHEDULED • Is your inbox making you feel anxious? Do you sometimes feel like your to-do lists are endless? Do you feel exhausted after a day’s work? Productivity expert Cal Newport has some tips that might help.

SUPER TROUPER • At one point, Josie Borain was the most famous model in the world. Her face was on every magazine that mattered.

THE WISDOM THAT COMES WITH AGE

How to take the MONOTONY OUT OF MONOGAMY • It’s easy to get complacent in a long-term relationship. Before you know it, your partner is little more than your roommate. Here’s how to shake things up.

Keep the spark going

“There are different ways of being a woman” • For a long time, Jodie Foster was the most visible lesbian in Hollywood (not that she really wanted to talk about it). Now, she feels liberated – and is helping the younger generation follow suit.

START A BUSINESS LIKE a Saffer • There’s nothing quite like a South African entrepreneur. In the face of adversity, they innovate and persevere. But what fuels that determination? We chatted to some self-starters to find out.
