Canal Walk Bloggers Day Out

Canal Walk invited us to experience their Bloggers Day Out last week. I was lucky to have one of our regular fashion mavens, Niquita Bento, with us to experience the day along with a selected few digital influencers in Cape Town.

The event welcomed us with bribery – aka food, coffee and power banks. Needless to say I was ready to be wowed because my favourite things were dished out at the start, imagine the whole day being spoilt! We were ushered around the shopping centre in branded golf carts as we shopped the luxury offerings at Canal Walk.

The morning was started at Marios Jewellers. They introduced us to their latest offering in luxury pieces followed by an in-store experience with La Senza, reviewing and shopping their full range of lingerie, sleep and street sportswear.

We changed the turn of events with a food and fashion experience in the centre’s Centre Court. Most of their big events are held here during the year, but we were treated to a more intimate experience with Jackie Burger, South African style icon. We discussed the future of fashion and online publishing and our role to drive creativity in SA. Definitely my favourite part of the day!

Before retiring to our chic rooms at the Century City Hotel, we received a private fragrance pairing at Jo Malone and makeup consultation at the stand-alone Bobbi Brown store in the centre.

We moved the soirée to Century City Hotel, across the way from Canal Walk for their pop-up Glam Room experience with hair and make up by Partners Hair Design and Lindy Lin. Followed by Frosting by Lovisa and Arm Candy by Colette by Colette Hayman, before heading down to the hotel restaurant, The Square Café, for an exclusive dinner.

After a relaxing night in our hotel suite, I said goodbye to my husband and reconnected with all the bloggers over breakfast and the Blogger Awards Ceremony, where I won a two nights stay at the Century City Hotel!

As a treat to you guys and to celebrate my wedding anniversary, I am giving away my prize to a lucky Cape Town married couple. All you need to do is subscribe to bakedonline.co.za and comment with your wedding anniversary date & email address below this post!

Good luck!

  26. This is a long one (I’m sorry) – 26th June 2017 zulfapermall14@gmail.com

    We got married in 2005. 12 Year Mark on the 26th June 2017 In Shaa Allah. On our 10th year Anniversary was a day not to forget. We went to the Waterfront to have Dinner (Boeka) with kids. Before going to have a seat somewhere, the kids had to attend the loo. In the loo my bag was stolen by 4 ladies 🙁 So, because it was my Anny you can imagine what i had in my bag (Hubby car keys, Perfume, full make up bag, my wallet (cards), his wallet, my phone, sunglasses, specs) It was the worst night of my life yet it was suppose to have been a joyous evening spent with kids. We did not have a cent on us to buy the kids a meal to break there fast 🙁 and had to get a relative to collect us from the mall.
    Last year it was in the fast again and couldn’t do anything either as i said to hubby we staying in and not going out. This year, can you believe my Anny falls on Eid.
    If i should win this, it would be a lovely quick get away for our 12 year Anny exactly a month away <3 and to make it up to our 10th year that we missed.

  27. Hey, Taariq here. This isn’t my anniversary but it is my parents. They got married on the 29th of July 1995 and they are truly the best parents I could have hoped for. Their anniversary is on the 29th of July and it will be their 25th anniversary. I hope I can win this for them as it would be a lovely gift towards them for all that they have done and how for they’ve come since the beginning. Congrats to all couples though.

  48. We will be celebrating our 2nd anniversary on the 4th of October this year , I’m a big fan of your blog and when you posted about your wedding last week , I could not help but look at your beautiful pictures and reminisce the day my husband and I both sat in the mosque at our nikkah, feels like it was just the other day. You and Mr Parnell are such a magnificent couple , finding time in between your busy schedules, months without seeing each other but yet find the time to still be in the moment and continue to surprise each other with such cute gestures that mean so much more, Aisha, you are an inspiration to all of us as couples! And it’s so beautiful ❤
