WHAT MAKES A GOOD COFFEE

January 29 2015

I rarely got out for coffee in Doha, not that I have an aversion to coffee but, because I could never find a good one. Serving burned coffee in lava temperature seems to be the norm here, so when got invited to the art of coffee-making at Jones The Grocer, I jumped at the opportunity to […]

VALENTINES DAY MAKEUP TUTORIAL

January 27 2015

Valentines is just around the corner (18 days to be exact) and what better way to ring the upcoming holiday with a Valentines Day makeup tutorial. After my last visit to Dubai, I’m armed with expert tips and makeup techniques from Inglot’s makeup artists, I thought I’d create a romantic look inspired by their Fall […]

WORKING THAT HIGH HEELS

January 25 2015

Style Resolution 4: Thou shall finally wear high heels.  High heels are not for display! Must remind myself this and finally wear the pair I fell in love with. His name is Manolos and his been good to me. He brings out confidence in me that my husband find sexy, and study confirms that men loves […]

WEEKEND TRAVEL ESSENTIALS

January 20 2015

Whether it’s packing a carry-on for a month long trip or packing for a special event (Cannes Film Festival) I’m all about packing smartly. I’m off to Dubai for 24-hour business trip to celebrate Inglot’s Fall In Love collection, and with a jam-packed schedule, I brought only my essentials on-the-go items. Making sure I swiftly go through airports […]

EMBRACE PERSONAL STYLE

January 18 2015

Style Resolution 3: Thou shall not blindly succumb to trends and embrace thou personal style. ‘To follow or to not follow trends’ a true battle with fashion girls like me, particularly when it’s your job to know the latest trends and seamlessly illustrate it on the blog. Honing my personal style was something I struggled with as […]

QUALITY VS. QUANTITY

January 15 2015

One of my main goals for this year is managing my finances better. I took a hard look at my monthly expenses but I didn’t need to look at any reports to come to a conclusion that I spend most of my monthly income on clothes and shoes… my exploding closet is a good indication already. Every shopping […]

GOLDEN GLOBES 2015

January 13 2015

It’s officially awards season, kicking it off with my personal favorite, the Golden Globes awards. It’s an exciting time for television right now with A-list actor/actresses making a leap into television. On the red carpet, celebrities delivered serious glamour from fiery red gowns to low-cut dresses and figure-hugging number (hello Kate Hudson!). There were so […]

RECYCLE MY WARDROBE

January 11 2015

Style Resolution 2: Thou shalt recycle my wardrobe. How many times have we used the excuse “It’s an investment piece” to justify a purchase only to find it shoved at the back of your closet after one wear? After a much-needed closet clean up this month, I found some pieces that are once ‘investment pieces’, […]

QUICK AND EASY STYLE HACKS

January 8 2015

As I was leafing through my stack of fashion magazines the other days, there were noticeable headlines on the covers: “10 Items You Need in 2015”, “What To Buy In 2015”, “Awesome Buys To Kick Off The New Year”. “NEW YEAR, NEW CREDIT CARD DEBT” is what it all sounded like to me. You don’t […]

CHRISTMAS IN BERLIN

January 6 2015

Why did we spend Christmas in Berlin? It was pulled out of a hat, literally. Let me tell you the story. Deciding where to go on a holiday as a family (in my case, my in-laws) feels very much like taking part of the UN summit, where all members agree to disagree, yet no resolution […]
