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

Styling a head scarf

A lot of you have asked me on how to wear the different styles of head scarfs that you have seen on my models. I plan to do a step by step procedure next time when I have a photo shoot so that those interested can try out the different styles.

But just for your knowledge, I simply experiment a lot on the previous day of a shoot on any one of my friends whose head is free :P mostly poor Nadia gets caught up as I try stunts on her!

Style Tip: Accessorize your head scarf!


Here I have used a bronze sequins flower on a plain blue silk scarf.

You can also buy cute head bands to jazz up any plain scarf. Check out the Coach Daphne Headbands at US $ 148, a must have accessory to add glamor to your head scarf or to fix a bad hair day.

I also saw this really cool site that showcases excellent ideas of wearing Hijab :)

Al Jawaher Photoshoot

I saw this picture of Mag on facebook and thought hmm, how do I get her to look more 'middle eastern' for our photo-shoot? I remember telling my make-up artist, give her smoky look eyes, and more bronzer on her skin... whatever it is, I need her to look like she is from here...



Mag is a polish girl or at least she was till my stylist did wonders on her ;)By the time she was ready, we had a celebrity in our hands and I was totally pleased with the magic of my make-up girl :))

Doesn't she look like Bollywood actress - Katrina Kaif? (She even knows a word of Hindi - 'achaa hai'!! lol! Meaning - its good :)



Mag was such a pleasure to work with.....I think we all fell in love with her :)

For those who don't know Katrina Kaif, below is a picture of the celebrity.
