Preparing for my (bachelor) Uncle's wedding...!!

On the top of my list is finding a dress then losing abit o' weight,....I know that it should be the other way round, but in Dubai a sale doesn't wait for you to lose weight so that you can buy your "it" dress.....so I found my dress the other day in a five day sale in Boutique 1 (formerly known as Villa Moda and at the same day I saw Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid!!! very fascinating but that was another story.....)....it doesn't look that good in the photo...but it looked very ......shall I say royalesque when I wore it (plus it was an Oscar de la Renta!!! with 30% off!!)......and that was it...and btw it was without the fur thing...

Now my next mission is to start the Master Cleanse Diet aka Beyonce's diet it consists of:

-two tablespoons lemon or lime juice, preferably fresh-squeezed from organic citrus (about half a lemon or lime)

-two tablespoons genuine Grade B maple syrup (not maple flavored syrup)

-a pinch of cayenne pepper or to taste

-eight ounces of water (many people recommend purified or filtered water) cold or at room temperature.

-Mix all of the ingredients and drink.

so if any if you has tried it out there please tell me more about it..

Architecture Digest

OK I have to admit that I haven't been posting anything cuz of them horrible project deadlines...anyway as this is out now.....I will introduce my latest passion and craze ...ARCHITECTURE!!!!.....yeah I never saw that coming and I've been flicking through interior dsign websites and buying dozens of dubai property/homedesign magazines..... and now I'm thinking of makeovering my room......but before going further I had to post this....I'm really inspired by this AMAZING Iraqi architecture designer called Zaha Hadid....who is a genius.....watch and enjoy the breathtaking work of hers....

This was made for Chanel here is an explanaion of what it is exactly:

"The architectural structure of the Pavilion is a series of continuous arch-shaped elements, with a courtyard in its central space. The glazed ceiling adjusts to allow for control of the interior temperature in response to the particular climate conditions of each venue city."

"Natural light descending from seven elements on the ceiling, meets artificial light pushed up from gap between the walls and raised floor to emphasize the “arched” structure, and assists in the creation of a new artificial landscape for art installations."

This is another state-of-the-art building she's doing in the capital for Abu Dhabi Performance Arts Centre....I like :)

I love her extravagant style yet kind of "jetsons" take on buildings.

My next post will be on what I'm planning to do for my room!

SCONES for suhoor!!

so here was an Idea to have scones for suhoor, I like to belive that they looked exactly like the ones I ate at Peninsula's tea time,....but that was the result and I still loved them... :P

But for some reason they looked like buns!? :S...anyways I just enjoyed them with the low fat cream cheese ( not the classic devonshire clotted cream...hello..I'm not in London, so I used up whatever is in my kitchen....) and strawberry jam.......the result aaaaahhhhhh--mazing!

Enough said on my kitchen adventures....I was just clicking away through the fashiony websites and voila I found these two tops from Topshop...each resembling..the following..
This top reminds me of the pink ruffled monique l'huillier evening dress.....great couture for great price..I just LOOOOVVVVEE Topshop...







and this top reminds me of mary-kate olsen's outfit in Harper's Bazaar, which I liked

I just luv'd these recent fashion releases (spring summer 2008)

oscar de la renta:







I just love how marc jacobs has fun with his clothing, like taking huge inspirations from the 80's, which you can rarely find designers that depend on that era for their designs, on the other hand he does imitate the 60's style very well like the Jackie O below:





I've also added some other designers who have gone wrong...jason wu:

Let's not slam the designers now, so here are some of my fav dresses of Marchesa( which enshallah I own soon goolo ameen!!! ) :

Long time no write

I know I've been procratsinating posting for a while, so here some'o ma pics that I took while travelling in Hong Kong, Bangkok and Singapore.


In Hong Kong I was amazed by how it reminds me of New York!!! and their HarveyNichols is way up there compared to the one we have here in Dubai, I know it's weird but I took a shot of the bathroom, which I loved that it matched my handbag and shoes.




The food is also bizarre, in which the iceream on the neapolitan mango dessert had white pepper icecream...that's right I said white pepper ice cream!!! it tasetd vanilish, but spicy so I didn't it all.




I also found this amazing shop that has a Snoopy theme for some reason?!! but it looked cute so enjoy the pics.




OMG!! I also had the most amazing culinary experience in my life at the HongKong Shangri La buffet , these are some of the great desserts I has(you probably think I'm a fat person, nope I'm not I just enjoy food alot, I mean good food not crappy junk food !! ok I'm going off the point here.... :S) .....




So in efforts of trying to reduce caloric income I had this tasteless cake in a small bakery...




away from that...I also tried on a beautiful Roberto Cavalli gown that was on sale, but unfortunately it looked horrible as the dentelle on it was all puffy at the back......

A Martha Stewart Illumination

I was trying to perfect the martha stewart meets care bears cake ( notice the start shaped sprinkles).....
