Holiday options galore

Highpoint will be a hive of activity in the lead-up to the Easter school holidays. Highpoint Shopping Day on Thursday offers activities for kids, a “lad’s lounge” and a perfume pop-up bar. From next Monday, there will be Easter bunny decorating while Crayola will host a colourful workshop in the second week of holidays. Highpoint has launched an online app that takes the stress out of styling new season trends. Called Unlock Your Style, the app lets you choose from more than 200 pieces curated by Highpoint style director Kate Gaskin.
