These days, fashion are like Superman. You have to wear it the other way around. Like this outfit that you have to wear the tight before the shorts. I’m seeing a lot of these outfits being worn here in the Middle east. I guess, aside from hiding off your legs, it’s the best trend to show off your shorts as well.

Fall is Here
Fall is just around the corner for most of the countries right now. I’m pretty sure that some of you have already cleaned up their dressers and stacked off their summer clothes. Get ready for the cool breeze and snow (I guess for some… *sniff on my side though).
So here are some fashion ideas ideal for you and your family. Image is link to Edda Pacifico. An amazing photographer!

Special Gift For a Special Person
A dear friend of mine will celebrate her 30th birthday soon. She’s been a through a lot. This year was a very challenging phase of her life and so, I’m giving her something to make her feel special (in some ways).
Fossil is on sale with lots of beautiful items. Free shipping is available on orders over $100. And orders are expected to arrive in 3-5 days. Unfortunately, as much as I wanted to give her a gift worth $100+, I don’t have enough budget already, LOL!
I’m thinking of getting her these cute Key-Per Hanging Toiletry kit. $45 is not much for a person who treated me well all these years. Good for traveling too.
Material: Coated canvas
Closure: Snap
Interior: 2 zip pockets, removable zip case with a magnetic attachment and an interior hook for hanging
Measurements: 10 1/4″ L x 2 1/2″W x 7″H
Origin: Imported
Stars at Paris Fashion Week
Let’s all not be left behind with this week’s Paris Fashion Week. See the fashion in the runway and some of the famous people.
Dakota Fanning a dazzling pink dress. Pretty cool for a vampire like her. Nice!
Janet Jackson was there! She looks so stunning with her hair-do.
I don’t know the one on the left, but I know Liv Tyler!
This is the first time I’m seeing Salma Hayek with her husband.
Wedding Dress Jackets
If given the chance to walk down the aisle again, I will. Well literally speaking, since me and my husband are Muslims, we didn’t walk down the church aisle like the usual wedding celebration. Though I’m dreaming to have a grand wedding celebration wearing my very own wedding gown. I saw this wedding dress design over the Bridalcookie.com and I’m mesmerized with this design. I prefer though to have a long sleeves type of dress since I’m not comfortable (even before) to show off my arms.
Here is what it will look like without the jacket. Isn’t it beautiful? Believe me, I have it saved on my hard drive already. It’s so perfect that I’m left dreaming again. Sigh…
