Just so we're clear..

I love my blog, I’ve put my heart and soul designing it and trying to make it better and better each day.  I enjoy sharing tips and posting about things I like or stuff that come across as appealing to me. However, this is nothing but a hobby, something I enjoy doing on my spare time. I know there are so many bloggers now a days, not that I’m counting or complaining, I see that as a good thing.  It’s nice to share and put across things that interests you. I f I wanted to be a professional blogger, achieving this would be as easy as 123 since the media is looking into promoting and encouraging bloggers especially local ones.. I do get invited to so many events, I lose track, but I choose not to attend them. This is not me or the path I want to pursue, not that there is anything wrong with it, it’s just that I don’t see myself doing such a thing. So many overrated bloggers act snobbish, and think they know it all when in fact they need classes in fashion since they are anything but fashionable. Fashion is a way to express yourself I might find one piece fascinating another might find it plain or bleh.. Now a days, every girl that owns a Hermes belt/bracelet takes herself as a Fashionista, owning an item from Hermes doesn’t make u fashionable in any way! Anyone can spend money and buy the most expensive “it” items, but you will never reach anywhere if u lack taste and class, no matter how expensive the items u are wearing.
A new trend that I get to see a lot is Fake Birkins/ Kellys. Carrying a Fake Hermes bag  and having the confidence of the real thing, shows how stupid one can be. I’m a Hermes junkie, I’ve owned Hermes bags way before people knew what Hermes was, or even knew how to pronounce it. Then came the faze where people knew Hermes , but considered it overrated, because they weren’t ready to pay that amount on a “bag” without even  knowing the difference between a Birkin or Kelly, let alone the other amazing bags Hermes carries… it’s not a competition people here seem to want to outdo each other. What’s the point?!  And, it saddens me to say, as much as I love my Birkins and Kelly’s I got sick and tired of spotting 100s of Birkins and kellys every time I step into a mall, and 90% of which are FAKE! I can spot a fake miles away..
In addition, there is a HUGE difference between being confident and conceited. Just because you can afford a certain thing or in this case have more followers does not make you superior in any way, I’m quite content and grateful with the amount of visitors and followers I have. It’s nice to know that people are interested in my blog, in a way find it entertaining plus constructive and visit again.. So, thank you this means the world to me and shows the work I do pays off and doesn’t go in vain=)
I don’t want to make this boring and long, nor am I trying to pry anything or force my opinion on anyone. I just want to put my point across as well as keeping my posts short and sufficient..

Nichole Richie and Joel Madden's Wedding














Nichole Richie and Joel Madden tied the knot last week. Nichole's dress was specially designed for her by Marchesa..
The dress looks amazing on her and I like that she had her and Joel's name embroidered on her sleeve, quit a sentimental and romantic touch.

Balenciaga 10th anniversary Mini Mini First Key chain

I'm not into Balenciaga bags I prefer the bard's ready to wear over their bags, and since practically everyone in Dubai owns one and I'm more into classic, exotic, and hard to find bags. (not counting Hermes Birkins and Kellys which you find on every corner as well. Most of them (90%) are fakes which i can spot from a mile away!) 
Moving one, I fell in love with these cute mini mini first key chain Balenciaga launched for their 10th anniversary.








How adorable is that. Retails for $1795.00.

DVB Sunglasses

I've been looking for great sunglasses for ages now and I couldn't seem to find exactly what I was looking for.. I recently got two pairs of sunglasses (Carerra and DVB) from Boutique 1 that I absolutely fell in love with. I decided to post some pix of Victoria Beckhams (DVB) collection since she has so many amazing pieces that are to die... 
There is no question that Victoria's line of sunglasses has been a huge success ever since she released them back in 2006 with so many celebrities lined up as fans. What I like about her sunglasses, they are the perfect size, have that edge that seems some sunglasses are missing, and  are so up to date and fashionable.




 Pure Lust. Want these so bad!!

 Available at net-a- porter.com in 3 shades.
