DIY DENIM JACKET

June 30 2015

It case you haven’t heard, bandanas are officially back. It’s an easy and cheap accessory to sport this summer but what I love more are the paisley print details you see in clothes. This denim jacket from Reformation ($138) but if I send this to cart, it will be my 4th pair. So I decided to […]

GINGHAM CULOTTES

June 28 2015

Gingham trend dominated summer’s fashion trend. It’s one of the trends I tried to steer clear from for its direct nod to 50s fashion, even the fashionably daring ones can walk the fine line of looking sartorially appropriate to costume-y. But the fashion weakling such as I could not resist the temptation especially when masters […]

Packing Light

I’ve learned two things about packing light after my one month escapade in Asia with a carry-on. One: you always pack more than you need. Two: your reach out for your most comfortable item over and over again (in my case, it was my ripped denim shorts). Now, I keep these two things in mind […]

HOW TO APPLY DIOR TIE-DYE STYLE MAKEUP

June 23 2015

I typically gravitate towards no makeup makeup look. It’s far departure to my experimental days in college where I used to rock a smokey eye at university, and a metallic blue eyeshadow look on a night out.

Boho trend, 70s vibe and colorful pieces screams summer but for me, I tend to gravitate towards modern simplicity.

Cuba has long been on my travel bucket list, and it’s always been my plan to visit the country well before it turns into a tourist hot spot once the U.S. embargo has been lifted. After this announcement was made, Anthony and I changed our plans to go to Morocco (sorry Morocco!) and booked a ticket […]

RAMADAN KAFTAN

June 14 2015

Having lived in Doha for all my life, it’s only been in recent years that I’ve come to appreciate arabic designs, particularly a ramadan kaftan like this one. I think it’s partly because I want to be culturally appropriate especially during this holy month. But I’ve seen a lot of beautiful Ramadan kaftans and admired the […]
