Some good news for bargain hunters this week from Seduce.

Head into any store and you will find reductions of 70% on remaining winter stock of the Seduce label, as well as 60% off items from the Blue Juice range.

Although we’re heading towards the end of winter (hopefully), Seduce has lots of flimsy party numbers in all its collections anyway so you will most likely be able to pick up something you can wear in warmer weather anyway.

The coat pictured here is new in store so won’t be included in the sale, however I have just fallen deeply in love with it. This is despite the fact that with my broad shoulders I could never wear it for fear of looking like a man dressed up as a lady.

Wild Ocean 3D is an explosive, symphonic giant screen film about man and nature that captures one of the world’s greatest spectacles.

It follows the feeding frenzy that takes place in the oceans of South Africa as billions of fish migrate up the KwaZulu-Natal Wild Coast. Breaching whales, frenzied sharks, herding dolphins and diving gannets compete in an epic underwater struggle for survival.

While the migration has provided a food source for both life in the sea and the people living along the African shores, global warming trends and over fishing have threatened the very existence of this great migration. The food chain in the ocean connects the tiniest organisms to the greatest whales. The predators of the ocean thrive upon enormous shoals of pelagic fish. These fish, in turn, depend upon the plankton that rises in the oceanic upwellings, born of the decaying bodies of the fallen predators.

For the last few hundred years, however, there has been another predator in the ocean: one that takes enormous shoals in one sweep, and does not give back to the sea in any way … this predator has broken the circle … it is a predator that mistakenly considered the ocean an unlimited resource.

Ever since the early 20th century, as fishing has become more efficient and grown in scale, entire fish stocks have collapsed. Some say the fish have disappeared due to natural cycles, others say climate change is taking its toll, dramatically changing the ocean’s ecology. But there is little doubt that over fishing has damaged the ecosystem.

However, there is a place on earth where man attempts to fit into the food chain, pursuing “sustainable” fishing practices in an attempt to preserve one of the most incredible migrations and feeding frenzies on the planet. In South Africa, business, government and the local people have joined forces in an attempt to protect this great and invaluable migration. This is where Africa meets the Sea.

We have five family passes to IMAX Sydney to see Wild Ocean 3D. Each pass is valued at $50.

To be in the running to win, email competitions@lasoo.com.au with the word OCEAN in the subject line and tell us in 25 words or less why you’d like to see this film. Entries close next Thursday.

Please note that these tickets are valid for IMAX Sydney only.

I must be just about the clumsiest person on the planet because every time I wear tights they ladder on the first wear.

I’ve tried everything from the more expensive department store labels to the el cheapo supermarket brands and it doesn’t seem to matter. By the end of the day without fail I am walking around with a very attractive hole somewhere in my stockings.

As such I’ve been searching for the perfect pair of black opaque tights for years. (On a side note, can I just add one thing? Even though I am no “Sex and the City” fan, I do agree with Carrie Bradshaw about one thing: nude/flesh colours tights should NEVER BE SEEN! Unless you are trying to look like an office manager from 1986.)

Anyway, I was recently in Myer and decided to give the Leona Edmiston Pins range of tights a go. I went for Luxury Opaque in black which is 60 denier therefore far more opaque than the cheaper brands (although this pair only set me back around $20). So far I’ve worn them four times and hallelujah, no holes or ladders. I’m definitely going to stock up on more before the end of winter.

The range also includes Indulgent Sheers and Slimming Pants - check out your local Myer for more.
