On the runway: Oscar de la Renta / Resort 2013

Oscar de la Renta simply takes our breath away!! He is a genius when it comes to choosing the right colors and cuts to flatter a woman's body. His recent resort collection was very feminine, dreamy and soft. I mean honestly who doesn't wanna be showered with De La Renta items. The collection wasn't dramatic but it was great enough to make heads turn. *Sigh* Don't you just love the man :') !!

Get creative with ice cubes

Summer is approaching and we all know what that means, it means that we need some refreshing drinks. Dress up your drinks with fun ice cubes!

Lemonade with raspberry ice cubes and lemon wheels.

Raspberry ice cubes with a class of lemonade!

Lemon mint ice cubes, perfect and refreshing for summer!

                                                      Blueberries, mint, lemon get creative!

Pour water on top of lemons and freeze - perfect way to refresh pitchers of water - and looks pretty too!

Skirts

I have noticed that lately everyone is embracing a new trend that I myself cant get enough of SKIRTS SKIRTS AND LOTS OF SKIRTS! The floor grazing style has an easy breezy feel to it that women all over the world love.

Diptyique: Candles

I've never been a fan of candles, they always terrify me. what if i slept and a candle was lit and burned the  house down </3. cant imagine burning down my closet... anyways, my sister has always loved them, she always goes for vanilla scented candles. BUT today, i sneaked in her room to grab something from her closet and just looooved the smell ... i kept sniffing around *sounds weird i know:)* looking for the thiiing that had that amaazing smell and noticed the Diptyque mimosa candle.

Another scented candle i loved and hoping to *accidentally* forget it in my room is Figuier which is a fig tree. never expected to like that but i did. 

Diptyque do have more choices for every person. Check it out

Diptyque is located in The Dubai Mall.

Beauty Picks

my daily makeup does not change, I apply the same products every single day and I dont mind, bcuz my skin does not breakout from these products. I have an oily/combination skin and to tell u the truth i find it hard finding the right products for my skin. a while back probably 2 years ago i used MAC foundation and powder and my skin just started breaking out and ever since I try to avoid those products ! its not worth the result ! so in this post ill show u my favorite products that not only have a good coverage but does not break out my skin.


to start of, am not really big on primers but i try to substitute it for something else. my fav product to use is Laneige Vit c serum, unfortunatly we do not have Laneige products in the UAE, so another alternative is The body shop Vit-C Skin booster.

Next thing, for an everyday look i avoid foundation best alternative? Laura Mercier oil free Tinted Moisturizer<3. i think ive been using it for 5 years and its still my favorite!

Concealer is an essential part of my daily routine, if i was given the choice of choosing one product to use it would be a concealer , all time favorite Laura Mericer undercover concealer in number 2 its the perfect shade

Next, Blusher! it gives an amazing glow to ur skin and my favorite is Tom Ford Blusher in Wicked

Tom Ford has also come up with a perfect conturing kit, i personally do not like to contour, but i tried the TF and fell in love not only the packaging is great but it also has a illuminating set with the bronzer and the Brush is also amazing

now, i use foundations either to a wedding or a gathering with friends and i do try to use different products from time to time but i see myself going back to Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation and the coverage is great, its the type of foundations that does not leave ur skin cakey.

My all time Favorite Mascara is definitely  Yves Saint Laurent faux focilis*SP in black and not the waterproof one i feel like there is a difference between the two. this mascara leaves ur lashes very volumized and full 

Last but not least Lipsstick, the lipstick thats always stayed in my bag is Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in 34 La Raffinee. its the perfect shade of nude pink. i use it all the time for weddings and also daily routines.
