CLUMSY NONSENSE

July 30 2013
clumsy more than chic

My blog revolves around all things fashion, beauty, travel, organization and design. But I am as ‘clumsy’ as ‘chic’ for the most part. I am literally clumsy (bumped my head while opening the fridge), would cause distraction in the house and say stupid things worth quoting. Oh and I like trashy reality shows, celebrity gossips [...]

BASIC INTERPRETATION

July 28 2013

I go through different fashion phase often times influenced by the current trend. It’s fun to embrace and experiment with new looks but I always fall back to what looks good and feels comfortable. For me, it’s relying on basic but classic pieces and adding a little androgyny and rocker edge. This chambray and black [...]

Week Roundup-25 July

I don’t know what it is about Ramadan period that has ‘non-fasters’ feeling tired a lot. It could be the heat or lack of water but I go through an afternoon slump and wanting to nap all the time. I’m determined to kick this feeling and take advantage of the shortened working hour to hit [...]

THE SHIRT DRESS

July 21 2013

I consider a simple white shirt dress as a classic staple. For me, it epitomizes summer dressing-imagine wearing it outside in the sun with brown sandals, straw bag in hand and sunglasses and floppy hat on. I’ve been on a look out to find the perfect dress for while but haven’t found one that met [...]

Travel Must Do copy

Living in Doha has its perks and disadvantages. One of its many advantages is getting the time to travel and explore new countries but living here also means adapting to a lifestyle change and certain constraints out of respect to the country’s religion and culture. So whenever I get the chance to get away, I [...]
