MUST... HAVE... NOW

Hello Monday,

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!

Later!

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.
