Simplicity

Photobucket

I love the simplicity of a pair of jeans and a tee... especially when you just return from a 2 weeks trip, that the suitcase is not yet emptied and the only idea of opening your wardrobe is giving you huge headache - its definitely time for this good old combinaison.

The whole debate yesterday with my other half was that he strongly believe that grey and white are not colors to wear together... pffffff

By the way ladies, time to get your flair jeans out of your closet for spring...

Le Monde d'Ines

I seriously love the freshness, the humility and the joy that communicate a young fashion designer. They made me (re)believe on the fundamental of fashion.
And Zeina Sultani is the perfect example; designer of Ines, line of clothing and ballerinas, she truly is an inspiration. I recently attended the launch of her summer 2010 collection @The Empty Quarter gallery in DIFC and finally got to meet her - she is a breath of fresh air...

I was seduced by her romantic, pure feminity, sensuality, Parisian elegance style – very Sofia Coppola's Virgin Suicides of kind of thing – It is all about simplicity (white t-shirt + short + flats Combo) in refined material (silk cotton. Dominated by pure white and pastels colors (hot this spring), with her signature bows that delicately stamped each one of her designs. One word: Charming.
It was French Riviera at the Empty Quarter, a particular attention to details; bouquet of lavender, sand, shellfish all over the gallery and even Truffaut’s masterpiece movie Jules & Jim projected on the background. Very charming.

Love the blouse and summer dresses!!!

Man Talk


Ladies and GENTLEMEN, I would like to introduce you to a new section in my blog called "Man Talk".
Coz i often have some of my 'male' friend asking me why i never talk about man fashion... well maybe because i'm a woman!!! hmm... Anyways i figure the best way to get a little masculine touch to my girly world was to give freedom of speech to a 'real' man to finally know what they really think of our slim jeans, thigh-high-boots or wedges.



A 'real man' not the kind of guy that spend more time than you front of the bathroom mirror, the one that can make a difference between a pair of Prada and YSL but not to the point of giving you the season collection... you know what i mean!
Mr. H, is a thirty something advertising guru living in a big city, he enjoys fashion, likes stylish ladies but NOT at any price...



High-Waist Pants

Rage Against the High Waist Pants

If some stuff became one day old-fashioned, there should somewhat be a good reason for that… don’t you think?? Shame on you! you supposedly stylish editors, you supposedly Parisian bunch of pretendly trend-setters! Shame on you Grazia! Shame on you Elle! Shame on you Lily…

I’ve been fighting all my life to undress ladies, and you’re deciding not only to dress them! But to dress them more than they need…You’re asking them to wear an extra pant. I mean you’re basically telling them, today don’t wear a pant, wear a pant and a quarter of a pant. What’s the story behind? Some good discount from an Indian fabric maker? A strategic business plan with a Taliban? Are you just fed up watching Paris Hilton legs? I mean put yourself in her shoes… Today, Paris Hilton is about to disappear from Tabloids because of you!! What do you want us to see from her if she’s hiding her best business ally with a High waist pant...

Come on girls, back in the 40’s they needed such stuff… they didn’t have hair removers, they didn’t have power plates yet! They needed such pants to hide some “attributes” 2 days ago, I congratulated a colleague of mine “Hey!! Didn’t know you were pregnant??!!” she looked at me with a “you bastard” face, and she said “Me neither”!! who’s fault was that? Our old High waist pants of course!!

However, there’s one thing I need to aknowledge… we’ve always been telling about women, that they were not rational, not square… today, this is ending, they look like an ace of diamonds when wearing HWP (Too tired to keep writing the whole name… it is as long as the item itself!! Franchement)

Once again, this is MAN TALK, okay? I have one single advice to give you girls: Keep It Short!! Seriously, what’s next?? I’m sure that if I come back in a few months we will discover the Half-leg high boots, combined to the Low waist shirt, the 26 square metter scarf, the Long neck hat...and don’t know what else!

I’m telling you Readers, this can’t go on!! Come on we’ll see how you will react the day we ask Beckham to play soccer with a Hip Hop Baggy pant instead of his short! Would you find it sexy?? Not sure! Please don’t cover your Hips (this statement is not applicable for Susan Boyle)!! The less you cover the more you attract!! Stop thinking males are subtle!! Keep it simple, short and sexy! We are as subtle as a Burger King Whopper!

If you believe that HWP should be part of the past!! Join me in this fight, Join me, Join me, look @ me in the eyes… I said in the eyes, Well done, Join me, Join me hihihahahaiahahiha (Devil’s laughter)

Sorry

Sorry for my absence and long (very long) silence but I took some precious time off with the family (very much needed); I did not feel like blogging at all… I wont say more

Being away for a long period of time could be very disturbing sometimes… because at some point you feel detached from everything.

What did I miss guys??
I missed the 3D screening of Burberry Prorsum show (where I was invited arghhh), what else???
Tell me everything!!
