The Haircut Post (@ Shaheen's Clifton)

As the title suggests; I got a haircut day before yesterday. I always go to Shaheen's in Clifton (near KGS), not only because she's my phopho (aunty), but also because Saira and her give the best hair cuts and blow drys ever. Most hair dressers are too scissor happy for my liking, but at Shaheen's when I say I want a half an inch trim, I get half an inch off. So basically I just went to cut the fringey bit, restyle a few of the front layers and get a small trim - basic job, and I am tres satisfied!! As I always am :)))

I have a pic as well:

I was wearing a Dinz shirt and Dotti (Australian high street brand) cropped beige jeans.. my really good friend is the founder of Dinz clothing in Dubai and she makes fun scarves, t shirts, blazers, alongside other clothing pieces and accessories (www.dinzboutique.com).. I'll post separately on Dinz as well. If you're in Dubai you can check out Harvey Nichols for their latest collection.

Ensemble Du Jour...

Hello world wide web!! What a beautiful day it is in Khi-town today!!

So, a lot of the clothes I wear are from Australian high street stores. Today I am wearing Sheike printed pants, a Forever21 shirt, Forever New turban headband and the comfiest Armani black flats. I'm headed out for my make up class and to finish off some chores.

Sunnies are Sass and Bide. Watch in rose gold by Tommy Hilfiger.

PS - I'm obsessed with Sass and Bide (post coming up soon!!)

Lanvin S/S 2012 Ad Campaign

Real life snakes as well as exotic skinned bags are seen in this ad campaign by Steve Meisel themed at a dinner party. Lanvin is one of my all time fav brands. Lanvin also always has the most exquisite campaigns. Even the Lanvin for H&M one was brilliant. Ahhh Lanvin - J'ADORE!!!
The suits and ties are so so brilliant. Who doesn't appreciate a man in a well fitted suit *drool*
Alber Elbaz has transformed Lanvin beyond belief, portraying Lanvin as "classic with a twist".

Ava Mirabelle London

So a friend of mine, Anushee Hashwani, is the founder of this London based label <<Avamirabelle>>
(She also blogs, check it out here: http://www.closetno3.blogspot.com)
There are only a few pieces of each design each which are delicately handcrafted. I always like just having a few of each piece, that way you know you won't bump into someone else wearing the same outfit. Now I absolutely adore loose silky blouses so there are plenty of them on here, I like how you can take these from a day to night look. (On a side note isn't e-commerce one of the best inventions of this century!!!!)

Here are pictures of some of my favourite pieces from the collection:

I also viewed a preview of the summer capsule collection, which showcases some of the most gorgeous scarves that can be draped as dresses!!! Such eclectic prints and colours.

Keep checking back at Avamirabelle for more unique pieces!!!

Make Up Preview

Here's a make up preview of a look I did for a friend. I used earthy tones, a mint green eyeshadow base, highlighted with gold and a bit of brown in the crease line blended in with eyeliner. False lashes to complete the look. Also did some basic contouring and soft pink lips for a fresh glow.

Make up and photography by meeee.

Summery Nails: YSL Nail Polish Manicure Duo #8 (Candy Orange)

Hellooo,

So I saw this gorgeous shade on a friend, and had to try it on and share with you all!! It's a very unusual nude-ish candy orange and perfecccct for summer.

Excuse the messy application:

I really liked the slanted applicator brush, actually made it a lot easier to apply once you got the hang of using it.

Ciao for now <3 <3
