Rachel Zoe Favorite Make-Up

A leading stylist like Rachel Zoe who styles up celebrities for international events will surly have one genius makeup artist who really understand that make-up is very important to complete the look. Rachel her-self looks amazing regardless her age! Watching her show made me realize how Rachel looks fresh and young! Her skin glows even when she gets panic during the preparation! If you wonder what is her favorite makeup items check the items bellow.

“Currently, I’m mad crazy for Giorgio Armani’s Luminous Silk Foundation (I wear a 5.5, or 6.5 when I’ve had some sun), Shine Lipstick (#8) and Eyes to Kill Mascara (in steel black)…The foundation is virtually invisible to the eye, the mascara is instant Brigitte Bardot and the lip color gives life to anyone’s smile..”-Rachel Zoe

Gaga message to you!




Lady Gaga is an outstanding artist who presents her ideas in sizzling and fiery stage performances. I am sure many of us saw her interview on Oprah show. What I like about her is her original inspiring ideas that she expresses with her music. What made me think about writing about her in this blog is her message during the interview.

Oprah: What is the message you most want people to receive?

Gaga: I want them to free themselves and I want them to proud of who they are and I want them to celebrate all the things they don’t like in themselves the way that I did. And be so truly happy from inside and I say that so genuinely to you because I perform every night and I look into your beautiful eyes and I love you so much!

Gaga: …. You always be good with your parents too! Keep good solid relationship with your parent cause I have wonderful mother and father and they always believed in me I work so much … etc!


- To deep and inspiring people xx.

Alexander McQueen Limited Edition Candle

The new limited edition scented candle from Alexander McQueen is probably one of the best candles I have purchased during the past few years. It was exclusively available at Alexander McQueen boutiques in Europe. However, it has become the biggest regret since that I have fallen in love with the scent to the point where I stopped using it so I don't run out of it. The scent has this amazing clean light empowering scent that makes you feel warm, happy and relaxed. If you are hitting Europe this year and passed by Alexander McQueen boutiques make sure to ask about it. It was launched twice so far this year and ladies .... ITS AMAZING!

Alexander McQueen scented candle details:

An exhilarating top note of Sicilian Bergamot and Mandarin on a heart of Moroccon Rose, Indian Jasmine and Immortelle fused with Orange Blossoms and a seductive base of Sandalwood, Myrrh and Zanzibar Vanilla.

Post # 1

Fashion and art are my very best things in this life. I've always had an eye for beautiful things no matter what.who.where.when it is! E V E N when I am dreaming!

In fact most of the things I do in my life are illustrated by my dreams. Maybe it is something silly to share but it is true and you know small details are important in ones life!

First gown I have ever designed for my-self was inspired by one of my dreams. I was only 5 years old back then! My mother took us both my sister and me to this very famous designer at that time in Dubai. He used to design our morning dresses and evening gowns as well. He sketched many designs for me, which I refused them all! So my mother suggested that I draw the gown I have in mind and the designer will do it for me! This was not the first indication of a young artist in the house! Because I used to go to bed each night hugging my painting case. You know normal babies would go to beds hugging their teddy bears but I was not that kind of kids at all! But I guess I just loved painting. My mother used to deal with a very stubborn baby girl back then *rolling my eyes*. I am sure that I took this after my mother. Or owh well, maybe in someway at least. My mother is the most elegant lady I know. My sister Sara and I consider my mother as the goddess of style, we’ve never met anyone in her sense of style ... very rich and incredibly flawless.

My sister Sara who has more of my mother style than me is more into classic style, while I am more into colors and edgy items. You will notice this in this blog. Sara is my eldest sister; she is very fashion forward designer. She is just incredible. She always invents new trends before it even get published by fashion magazines. And here in this blog my sister and me will share all of our thoughts in art, fashion, beauty and all!

I hope that through this blog we will take blogging in UAE into new different level. I have no plans and directions for now. So I will let this open for future decisions or perhaps your ideas and requests?

And until then, Keep dreaming :D
