The Union Bar pops up with Bombay Sapphire in the heart of Johannesburg


Last night saw one of the biggest events take place in the heart of Johannesburg. Held in Illovo, the launch of the Union Pop-up Bar with Bombay Sapphire was such a huge success with the some of SA’s biggest names in the fashion and entertainment industry not only showing off their faces, but also tantalising their taste buds with the lovely Bombay Sapphire cocktails that were doing the rounds.

What I loved the most, I must say, was the Bombay Botanical Garden with a girl whom I called "Alice" (from Alice in Wonderland). If you didn't know, Bombay Sapphire is created by perfectly balancing a unique combination of 10 hand-selected exotic botanicals from around the world. So what's happening in this room is that one gets to smell each and every botanical used separately. If you still don't get the picture, this might be of help:

 Singing sensation and songwriter, Bongi Mvuyane, took to the stage to perform some of her tracks from her upcoming album, Dopamine. The lovely Khanyi Mbau was there too with the handsome Tebogo Lerole of Kwela Tebza. That girl is cray cray...but a freaking AWESOME CRAY CRAY - love her!

Also spotted at the launch were SA's A-listers and fashion gurus Gavin Rajah and David Tlale.
