★ Hard Rock Cafe Rocks it's way to Johannesburg ★

Get ready to rock, as the iconic Hard Rock Cafe makes its way to Johannesburg! Hard Rock International is pleased to announce plans to bring the brand’s one-of-a-kind blend of music, entertainment and authentic scratch-based cuisine to Johannesburg with a state-of-the-art location showcasing Hard Rock’s new design style and latest technology. The new Hard Rock Cafe Johannesburg will be located at Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton, and will undoubtedly be a must-see for both visitors and locals ...

“This extraordinary city of Johannesburg is famous for its energetic and electrifying culture, and incredible music; and we are truly excited to open Hard Rock Cafe Johannesburg in this location. Our local partner Soft Coffee Holdings in Johannesburg, has worked hand in hand with us to ensure this cafe will become an instant hit in the City of Gold,” said Antonio Bautista, Area Vice President Hard Rock International. “Hard Rock is thrilled to be a part of this incredible country and our newest location in Mandela Square, Johannesburg will definitely not disappoint!”

Guests of Hard Rock Cafe Johannesburg can enjoy fresh, high-quality items from Hard Rock’s scratch-based menu, including the favourite Legendary Experience menu, featuring a mouth-watering selection of 10-ounce Legendary Burgers.

In addition to its food, Hard Rock Cafe’s extensive, award-winning drinks menu includes Hurricanes, Margaritas, signature favourites and Alternative Rock (alcohol-free) beverages, all available in Hard Rock souvenir collectible glassware. Hard Rock’s cocktails are handcrafted, just like its cuisine, and as authentic as the memorabilia on the walls.

A Thought for Thursday ...

High Society

Soiree season is fun and ladylike in High Society, the pretty spring party collection from Forever New...

This candy-hued story is a sweet selection of feminine and refined looks perfectly suited for afternoon High-Tea, a day out or a spring party. 

A playful mood reminiscent of a retro-era Palm Springs shows 1950’s & 1960’s silhouettes with modern updates. Sorbet pink, spring lilac and powder blue form a fun and fresh colour palette worked into feminine prints and textures. 

Florals bloom in sweetly coloured silks and are seen in spliced digital patterns for new season interest. Statement neckpiece style adornment is a key trend in party wear, decorating classic shift dresses in sugary colours. Shell tops, skirts and sundresses in powder hues are textured with crochet, broderie anglais and lace overlays. Tailored separates complete the feminine look, with full skirts and formal tailored shorts to pair with pastel knits and sleeveless crochet tops. 

Chic finishing touches complete this girly collection, with pastel stone jewels and feminine strappy heels to give outfits a new season update. Handbags continue to be covetable in modern shaped totes with new hardware perfect for day, while jewelled and pearl embellished clutches are set to complete race day and spring party looks.
