We are standing up against POVERTY. Please join us.

In the year 2000, heads of 189 nations came together at the United Nations Millennium Summit to commit to work together to end poverty and to build a safer, more prosperous and equitable world for all by 2015. This pledge of theirs gave birth to eight Millennium Development Goals (MDG's).


1. End Hunger
2. Universal Education
3. Gender Equity
4. Child Health
5. Maternal Health
6. Combat HIV / AIDS
7. Environment Sustainability
8. Global Partnership

This year, Farashati is also taking part in the campaign - Stand up. Take Action. End Poverty by 2015.

Its very simple and easy to help. All you have to do is assemble at Satwa Park (behind four point Sheraton) at Sheikh Zayed Road,Dubai at sharp 5:00 pm on Friday,October 16, 2009.

We are collecting uncooked food items like rice, flour, sugar and canned foods that you need to ensure will not expire for atleast one year from the date of its collection.(We are not collecting money in this campaign).

These food items will be collected from you and distributed by the UAE Red Crescent along with volunteers from IAHV and Art of Living to deserving individuals and families listed with them in the UAE.

Inspired by nature....

A flowerless room is a soulless room, to my way of thinking: but even one solitary little vase of a living flower may redeem it.   - by english author and Poet, Vita Sackville-West

Hmm....then how about adding some flower power to our 'already overflowing' accessory collection :))

 

Hanami Real Flower Jewelry is made of.....real, natural flowers! Yes real flowers that are individually handpicked and covered with resin to give a hard durable finish.Each piece unique and inspired by nature itself.

This blue Dendrobium set is just ideal to spice up a pair of jeans and costs only $84!

The colors of the these rose petal earrings also caught my eye and at just $37, they are a bargain!

....And they ship anywhere in the world for a flat fee of $10.00 per order! Gorgeous!

Makeup Adikt !

So sorry I haven't written for so long, have been busy with Eid celebrations, trying out lots of glamorous eye makeup to welcome the festive spirit :)

I tried the Arabic makeup look with the combination of pink and bright blue on the first day and it worked out fab...all the credit goes to MakeupAdikt’s video!  

The Megan Fox inspired look is also another favorite. The girls had a gala time trying it out, although the red lipstick can be tricky so do be careful.  

 

And the best one was this Arabic inspired smokey black and pink makeup! Loved the way the liner is done in the inner eye.

Its not as hard as it seems and we were all novice but did just fine. Just make sure you have the right brushes from MAC and you can experiment with colors on your own makeup palette that closely match the colors that were used in the video.

Loved the cello-tape trick and I know I will be using a lot of it to create magic for my eyes. Try it to have loads of fun and feel pretty!

Heidi Merrick

Came across this stunning designer and fell in love with her work....The striped skirt is simply gorgeous and I had to share it with all of you.

This dress is another one of my favorites - Love the exaggerated bow!(It is up for sale at $561 at their online store).

And then I come across this amazing blog 'Delight by design' that translates some of her designs with interior decoration! (I have fallen head over heels for sure :D)

Al Sada - Arabic Magazine Coverage!

Felt on top of the world as I turned the Al-Sada magazine to see my beautiful model staring back at me on the content page...Page 38 it screamed....or atleast it seemed to me that way :) I turned to the page and saw myself staring back at me :)....along with Radhika, my model for that shoot.



Felt so so good while I saw 4 pages of just FARASHATi....yummy...hehehe...I can't seem to know what to write....I just want to say I am velly velly happyyyy :D
