9 things to make your New Years a golden one with Lakeside Mall

The road to a good time this New Years is paved with gold. Whether you are throwing or attending a house party, a fancy dinner or hitting the clubs and bars to celebrate the beginning of 2014 Lakeside Mall has 9 golden essentials for your New Years shopping trolley.

1.  Sparkling wine


No New Years celebration is complete without a glass of golden bubbly to toast with or chug down for fun. Real deal champagne is a luxury that few can afford to splurge on and that is why we are grateful for JC Le Roux's extensive collection of sparkling wines that we all know and love. You can get the party started, and keep it going until the sun comes up on January 1st, this New Years with the 1.5 litre bottles of JC Le Roux Le Domaine available from Checkers, Lakeside Mall.






2. Smell like a goddess of gold

Everyone likes to smell nice so celebrate the New Year with a signature scent that will force the person who you kiss at midnight to remember you not just well into 2014 but forever. Two popular glittering scents are Paco Rabanne's Lady Million and Golden Delicious by DKNY. Both fragrances are available from Red Square, Lakeside Mall. Both smell amazing and will be sure to captivate anyone who you allow to get close enough. 

3. A cup of golden goodness


All of us, at one stage of our lives or another, have over done it a little (or a lot) with the New Years celebrations. There might be nothing you can do to salvage your reputation but you can take the sting out of the embarrassment as well as your massive hang over with a good strong cup of coffee. Keep a bottle of Nescafé Gold in your kitchen cupboard this New Years to help you refresh yourself the night after your party. Nescafé Gold is available from Checkers, Lakeside Mall.







4.  Bling Bling!




Bling it up by accessorizing your New Years outfit with these chunky gold bracelets from American Swiss, Lakeside Mall. Nothing makes one feel more fabulous than owning a brand new piece of jewellery that they can show off and these bracelets will have your friends oohing and aahing right into January.

5. A little gold dress















Party the night away in a killer outfit that will turn heads and make you feel like a rock star. This fitted little black dress with gold details or this gold pleahter skirt from Exact! Lakeside Mall will have you looking fierce so that you can attack 2014 in style. Also available from Dcmo, Lakeside Mall is this beautiful black and gold sequined mini skirt and this belt with a gold buckle if you are feeling a little more adventurous.

 


6.  Put some gold in your step




Walk with your head held high and your feet glittering with these killer shoes from Awol, Lakeside Mall. The high heel peep toe with spike detail says, “I came here to party and I am not leaving until the sun comes up so don’t get in-between me and my groove.” While the second option of the high heeled golden sandal is just as beautiful it is a more romantic and elegant option of the two golden shoes, either of which will compliment you depending on what kind of celebration you will be attending. 


7. Cocktails

Although this item may not be as golden as everything else on this list, no new year’s party is complete without cocktails and this book Delicious Drinks, available from CNA, Lakeside Mall has divine recipes for tons of different drinks that you can make for your guests that are both alcoholic and non-alcoholic and will leave them begging you for more!






8. Light up the sky 


Everyone knows that fireworks are a big no, no over the holiday season but this does not mean that we cannot celebrate with a beautiful display of light using sky lanterns available from CNA, Lakeside Mall. A nice idea is write down a personal wish for 2014 like “Money” or “Love” or “Please let my boyfriend leave his wife” on the lanterns before lighting them at the stroke of midnight and watching them drift off into the night sky. Although the lanterns are also not approved by the SPCA they do still make a better alternative to the noisy firework displays that get everyone on Facebook so worked up.

9. Ferrero Rocher overdose


The last item on our list should also probably also go on a list as one of the most indulgent things you could do this festive season. Ferrero Rocher, also known as, little balls of delicious happiness that help women everywhere forget their problems wrapped in golden beauty, is now, over special holidays, available in a big, huge ball, shell thing! And “What is inside the shell?” I hear you ask, well I will tell you, three regular sized Ferrero Rocher balls! It is like they took pure happiness and wrapped in more pure happiness. As a chocolate lover when I saw this in Checkers at Lakeside Mall I almost burst into tears of joy.  I was going to suggest giving one of these beautiful creatures away as a gift to the host of the New Year’s party you will be attending but, yeah right, as if that is going to happen. I don’t know about you but I will be eating my huge Ferrero Rocher in bed, alone while I watch The Notebook and I will not be sharing with anyone.
