Go From NO-NO to YESSSS!

Found this loungey blouse at Mango the other day, I tried it on and it was soooo ugly, a big fashion no-no!

So I thought of adding some touches to it to completely change the look; so I rolled up the sleeves, tucked in the shirt and spiced it up with a turquoise necklace, and TAARAAAA ready to go to work looking all hip!

From being a hideous top, it transformed into something fashionable and eye pleasing!

Fashion works in mysterious ways, our job is to find out how it’s done!

What would you’ve done? Would you add a belt? Or maybe a vest? Or do what I did? Share some of your fashion tips ;)

Compliments of Pottery Barn

Pottery Barn’s campaign is reflecting their true aim in acquiring a unique character and value, which differentiates them from the rest. They are introducing appealing complimentary events and services for their customers, which in my opinion is excellent marketing.

I don’t know if you guys read the back of Pottery Barn’s catalogue or not, but the salesmen there enlightened me with their complimentary design service they offer their customers, which was apparently at the back of their catalogue.

Basically, you can schedule an appointment with Pottery Barn’s Design Studio Specialists to help you revamp a room or decorate a new home for you. You would only pay for the furniture and accessories, which are carefully picked to suit your taste from Pottery Barn, and the decorating service is absolutely FREE OF CHARGE. Because I don't shop for furniture, I just found out that Ikea, Midas and other furniture stores offer the same service too.

Also, on Saturday 3^rd of July at 10a.m., Pottery Barn are organizing an entertainment summer class at their Avenues’ store on “How to decorate outdoor”. The class will be for an hour approximately and will include some basic tips and hints on how to decorate your outdoor space.

If you’re interested, call 22233700 and reserve your place, it’s FREE!

Keep ‘em coming Pottery Barn, we love you already!

Order your drink anytime between 6am-12pm and get a 25% discount on your next purchase after 3pm the SAME day.

Summer promotion? Yeaaaa.. Starbucks is cute, they know we love summer promotions so they’re trying to think outside the box for us!

Super Brain Yoga

Veryyyy interesting!

This is for you A.S.

The Beauty Of Embracing Life

It started as a message to get people to wear their seatbelt and it became a video that’s been praised by people around the world for its BEAUTY.

Director talks about his inspiration and says, “The inspiration from EMBRACE LIFE came from wanting to offer a positive message towards road safety. A lot of the campaigns focus on the more graphic and horrific outcomes of accidents whereas I really wanted to bring people into the conversation where the house represents a safety area, an area where you’re normally surrounded by your loved ones, and the car can be an extension of that. It’s not only yourself that’s impacted if something unfortunately goes wrong but also family and friends too.”

What a beautiful way of putting it in :)

Be safe everybody and wear your seatbelt, not for you only, but for your loved ones too.

Kick It Like A Girl!

Although I’m not a fan of football and world cup and all that fever, I came across this MTN commercial while compulsorily watching one of the games with my brother over lunch! I think Argentine and some other team.. or was is Holland? I don’t know, anyway..

I LOVED the commercial.. it had humor to it ANNND they gave their lady fans a part in!

Watch it its funny :P

ليالي رومانسية

This is a forward I just HAD to share...

الليله الاولى - تغيير جو

الزوج مسافر وفي يوم وصوله قررت الزوجه اقامة ليله رومانسيه للغايه

فذهبت للملحق الموجود خارج الفيلا وجهزته وزينته وارتدت احلى قميص نوم لاستقبال زوجها. الزوجه فرحانة ومستانسه جلست في مكانها انتظرت وانتظرت وانتظرت

مضى من الوقت ساعه ساعتين ثلاث! خافت الزوجه خرجت من الملحق والا الزوج داخل من الباب!

في قمة غضبه، ضربها، صفعها وهو يقول(( يالخاينه وطالعه بقميص النوم ونايمه في الملحق معاه, وينه ليش طلعتيه ))

وانتهت ليلتها الرومانسيه بالطلاق

ويافرحه ماتمت .. زوجة طيبة وزوج غبي ..

الليله الثانية - الزوجه الحلاوه

الزوجه المسكينه اتفقت مع زوجها على ليله رومانسيه رتبت غرفتها عطرتها وجاء وقت وصول الزوج وامرت الخادمه بلفها بورق لامع كالحلاوه. لفتها الخادمه واصبح شكل الزوجه كيوت وهي ملفوفه مثل الحلاوة خرجت الخادمه من المنزل وذهبت عند اخت الزوجه حتى

تقضي ليلتها هناك. ولكن حصل شي لم تتوقعه الزوجه وهو تأخر الزوج! جاءه عمل طاريء

المسكين يحاول الاتصال بزوجته ليخبرها انه سيتأخر لكن لا حياة لمن تنادي ..الزوجه ملفوفه بالورق لاتستطيع فتحه

ومرت الساعات والزوجه صامده داخل الغلاف.

حتى جاء الزوج وفتح الغلاف وخرجت له الزوجه لكنها مختنقة !! وعلى طول الطواري وغرفة العناية المركزة ويافرحه ماتمت

الليله الثالثة - لبوة في الغابه

قررت الزوجه اقامة ليله رومانسيه في احدى الفنادق الراقيه واتفقت مع زوجها ان يأتي للفندق الساعه التاسعه وكانت تجهيزاتها كالآتي:

غيرت الغرفه وجعلتها كالغابه وكان الترتيب من قبل ارقى المحلات في البلد لبست لبس تنكري على هيئة لبوة ( زوجة الأسد ) اطفأت الانوار

نامت على السرير وغطت نفسها بالاغصان واوراق الشجر جاء الزوج في الوقت المحدد !! فتح الباب انقضت عليه كما تنقض اللبوة الشرسه فوقع الزوج عالارض من الخوف وجاءت له ازمه قلبيه وراح فيها!!

وانتقل الى رحمة الله (مات الأسد

قرر اهل الزوج بعدها رفع قضيه على الزوجه وحبسها في السجن يافرحه ماتمت !! :D

درس اليوم

في النهايه لازم نعرف شي واحد ان الرومانسيه لاتجتمع ابدا مع الغباء

LOOOL Very entertaining couples, but makes you wonder...

My Season's Color!

I’ve been meaning to decide on a favorite nail polish color this season and I finally did.. thanks to JW’s help!

Its Tart Deco by Essie!

The color is chic, modern and sooo refreshingly summery and makes my skin glow.. I swear im not exaggerating it really gave my skin a nice tone. This dreamy coral is an artistic burst of color!

Try it out and I hope it suits you too ;)

Spread the paint and joy!

Miss Selfridges' Surprise

Ok now London’s Miss Selfridges is pretty and has many items you’d actually wana buy, but Kuwait’s miss Selfridges is another story. You never find anything there and I mean ANYTHING! But while cruising around at the Avenues, we passed by Miss Selfridges and my friend insisted to “just look around”, so we did.

I like casual chic and for my surprise I found two casual chic pieces;

First; a black long sleeves cotton shirt with puffed up lace on the shoulders, which gave the shirt all the twist it needed!

At first it didn’t appeal to me but I thought maybe wearing it would show it’s actual look. And YEA IT DID!

Price: discounted to 6KD!

And second; a pretty peach crochet and lace scarf. Throw it on any basic t-shirt or top to give the chic effect.

Price: 6.500KD!

Well done Miss Selfridges!

My Kind of Cup

I craved red velvet cupcakes yesterday night! And the first named that popped into my head was “Velvet Cup.” I tried them once at a friend’s gathering and I really liked them so I thought of ordering them again for the family gathering this time!

I ordered two dozens (min. amount for delivery) for 12kd (6kd/dozen – very reasonable) and when they came they looked sooo adorable!!

The boxes are soo cute and girly and NEAT! With blue writing, very plain yet simple and to the point.. loved it!

The cupcakes were soft and moist and the cream cheese frosting was absolutely amazing.

Overall they’re simply dreamy.

Couture Tattoo

Yesterday night I ordered Chanel’s tattoo from Designs by س’s group on facebook.

I’ve been wanting them for a while now so when I spotted them at Designs by س, my eyes sparkled. My only concern was whether the tattoos were original or not and so when she assured me that they are, I ordered them straight away! ;D

They came in a sealed Chanel envelope and inside were 5 sheets of skin art. I don’t know how long they’ll last on me but they say the range is a week so we’ll see.

Price: 45kd (I know they're overpriced because they're sold for $78, but I didn't find cheaper than that)

So excited about them, they're so HOT can’t wait to use them!!

Feel the same? Buy them from LONDON OR STATES don't be like me;p

TOMS Shoes is an American footwear company that is based in Santa Monica, California, founded in 2006 by Blake Mycoskie. The company designs and sells lightweight shoes and the best part is that with every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a new pair of shoes to a child in need.
