Good morning everyone, I've been having a terrible week.. ermm.. Make that two weeks. And usually at this time of the month, I'd be running around looking for perfect Christmas presents, planning the annual Christmas bash, shopping for new outfits for New Year's Eve and Christmas. But not this year. Not in a festive mood. Not buying presents. No dinner. No bash. No tree. NOTHING! But anyway, since I still love Christmas despite everything here are a few gift ideas to buy well whomever.

You can find most of the stuff at net-a-porter. Thank God for online shopping eh? There you have it folks, just a small idea of Christmas gifts. And remember, it's the thought that counts.
Good morning people. It's finally Friday and I can't wait to catch up on so major needed sleep, laziness and probably lots and lots of DVDs. I am getting old. I can't neither party as much as I used to, nor as often. So I decided to no longer fight it, and just give in to my body's needs. (I'm considerate that way... what??? I am.. honest.. sorta.. oh leave me alone..). Haven't really been updated with the fashion world, or the random world, or any world for that matter, and that's because I've been living in my own little bubble.. mentally... and in the real world I'm just working and working.. and working some more. So now that I'm trying to get back on track, I wanted to share something with you. Won't get into details, but you know the stories of the birds and the bees? Well my little darlings, the fashion world has gotten familiar with it too. When designers, bloggers, singers, celebrities and big fashion brands come together, fireworks, magic and champagne bottles are the result. What am I talking about? Simple. Some pretty darn impressive collaborations. Here are a few of my faves.
Jewellery brand DANNIJO and internet celebrity and blogger Rumi Neely. I'm already coveting a few things especially the double ring. I'm in love...
Swarovski and Karl Lagerfeld. Actually Swarovski is collaborating with more than one designer, I chose to ignore the others :) (I'm biased that way.. sue me). So since cuffs are big this season here's one to love. ($335)
Beyonce, Temptu and Deréon Beyonce and Temptu worked on temporary tattoos for a shoot for Deréon. They turned out so beautifully that they decided to sell them. So I say, So long pretty dainty Chanel chains and pearls.. Hello dark and bold bolts, jewels, spiders and chains.
Lanvin for H&M I like to save the best for last, and I'm telling you Lanvin and H&M in the same sentence? That's music to my ears. The collection hits stores November 23rd. Not sure about Beirut though, even though the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection was released her.. Oh well.. Fingers crossed people. Check out the entire collection here and weep. And check out the video.
That's all for now.. I'm sure there are many collaborations, but it's almost 11, I'm on 4 hours of sleep and I actually have work to do. Thank God it's Friday. And because I heart you all I am going to share one of my new song obsessions, Kanye's Runaway.
Actually no, not hello! I hate Mondays! I hate everything that has to do with Mondays! Especially after a 4-day holiday! I weep! Weep I tell ya! But I gotta say, my weekend was pretty darn good. It was missing a certain someone, but what to do, right? I had a great time with the Bahrain/London/Saudi/Kuwaiti crew (sorry guys, didn't know how to categorize your international a**es), excited about a certain PFFer who will be getting in today, and some quality time with the bffs from high school! It's gonna be a long week that's all I can say. One thing's for sure though, I am definitely getting old, this whole partying till the wee hours of the morning, just doesn't do it for me anymore (actually I just can't handle it) *sigh* !
Anyway, I'm going to kick start this dreadful Monday with a few must-haves for the season (not because they really are must-haves, I just really MUST HAVE them). I'll do it in a series of posts because they're too many. I'm starting with the following items:
Still obsessed with with Mulberry's Oversized Alexa leather bag but this time in black.
I normally hate, and I mean HATE pointy shoes, but when it's Lanvin you make an exception. And when they look like these you melt and you buy. They're perfect.
What's a new wardrobe without wedges? And from experience I say wedges can't get any more comfortable than Michael Kors. And these suede ones are beautiful.
I know! I know! My obsessions are mainly shoes, but can you blame me? Look at these Marc by Marc Jacobs two-tone leather loafers. I mean really! How can you not drool? I think, loafers are the new brogues for this A/W!
Ahhhh Stella! The things you do to me with your fabulous designs! I'm very much a blazer person, especially over-sized and this hits the spot! The cut, the colour, the simplicity! Divine!
And finally, this cute Mademoiselle scarf from Marc by Marc Jacobs. Isn't it adorable?
To wrap it up, I will leave you with another new obsession of mine. Enjoy!
