It's a "wrap"

I woke up feeling very bla today, and as I was getting dressed I noticed how bla my outfit looks. Now a bla outfit matching my bla mood, is not a great combination because that would just bring me down even more. I needed to add a little oomph to what I was wearing, opened my closet, and voila. The perfect scarf, designed by my good friend Aysha (yes the girl who inspired me start a blog and has her amazing blog called PrettyFashionForward. She's bubbly and fashionable and you can actually see her personality in her work. The brand is called Melmas (touch/texture in arabic), and they are just funky. They just pop. I've never worn a Melmas scarf and not received tons of compliments. She sews on a small bell (to cast away evil), a pair of miniature scissors (to cut away the old and bad in your life), a coin (prosperity) and a blue bead (eq. to evil eye). She designs one-off pieces by the way and they're wrapped in the cutest way with a personalized message for each buyer. I love Melmas and you should really check her stuff out and I even got complimented on my scarf from a Saudi princess just now! Anyway, check out the images below.

This is.... Bambi.

This is my first official blog! I was inspired by a good friend of mine, Aysha, who has a fabulous blog called PrettyFashionForward that I read religiously, and so I decided what the hell. I've got nothing to lose. It's like a diary that sometimes replies.

So here goes, I recently did, what a lot of girls dread doing... I chopped my hair off. And it's not that very blah hair cut that every other girl has (almost kinda carre, long from the front, short from the back). No no.. It's more liek a short bob, Rihanna meets the ex WAG queen! And as much as I love it, it is kind of high maintenance, and why is it that no one knows how to blow dry short hair? I've been to a few, and I ended up looking like a mushroom. *sigh*

But girls, 2010, is a year for change. Do something drastic, Change your hair colour.. chop it off.. make a fashion statement (if you have sense of style otherwise, stick to the new hair do) and if you don't want to change something physical, by all means, change something in your life.. cut out bad habits.. break your routine.. be bolder.. be confident.. meet more people.. Enjoy life and don't settle for second best in anything..

And those were a few of my new year's resolutions...
