FY top 5: Totally TDF picks for Fall Winter 2012

27 Aug

This year’s Fall Winter fashion is all set to glam up the wardrobe, judging from the military style jackets, Obi belts, jumpsuits and leather trimmings that are must-haves for the season. H&M, for one, is going to be the most raided store for sure! Check out the top 5 most irresistible picks of the season:

Loving the leather obi belt! Although the gloves would be a bit much for Dubai, they do look super sexy worn with a  sleek pair of high- waisted textured trousers and a simple knit top.

Dont you just love this outfit? The embellished piece over the plain white shirt gives it a glam boost while the high cut skirt makes something of a statement itself. Again, loving the leather belt here.

It’s all about mixing it up this season. Love how the three textures in the jacket, top and skirt come together for that perfect blend of sexy and elegant. There’s definitely something about Lana!

How could I even imagine the season go by without my fall winter fav staple, the leather bomber jacket? In love with this zipper detail bomber updated with a belt- undoubtedly my favorite piece in the collection.

Loving the laid back love in this outfit with the loose jumper and shorts. The jumper can be dressed up or down according to the occasion and accessorized to the hilt! Think embellished collar or perhaps a single, long  silver necklace.

Cant wait to head over to the new H&M store at Mall of the Emirates which opens on September 1! It only gets bigger and better…4 more days to go and just in time for my birthday shopping!  *evil grin*

FY Reviews: 3LAB Ginseng “The Cream”

26 Aug

I love my occasional ginseng tea for its detoxifying and uplifting effect on me but I never thought I’d find gingseng in my night cream one day! Skincare specialist, 3Lab has actually used oriental herbal medicine and western technology to present “The Cream”, a ginseng based product to hydrate, soothe and illuminate the skin. I’ve been using this product as my PM cream and just can’t get enough of it.

To say that the cream is luxurious, is an understatement. I’ve never come across a product so creamy and satin-y, yet extremely light and non sticky, at the same time. The main ingredient, ginseng, is known for its antioxidants, minerals and natural oils that rejuvenate dull and damaged skin. Ginseng in “The Cream” helps in collagen metabolism which improves elasticity and strength for the skin while other ingredients lock in moisture and keep the skin hydrated, supple and glowing. I’ve seen this happen on my own skin over the couple of weeks-The effect has been stunning on my combination skin.

At AED 520, “The cream” is on the expensive side, but as I always say, a girl should never compromise on two things-   love and skincare! The 3Lab Cream comes highly recommended; infact, it’s simply Ginseng-tastic!

H&M UAE: What women want!

23 Aug

Stylish, fresh and fabulous – That’s H&M for you. But what I love most about the fashion store is that it’s full of surprises! Be it collaborations with amazing designers such as Versace and Marni or some truly fantastic and inspiring pieces in the ‘Conscious’ collection, the store just never fails to delight me. For someone who is as value conscious as I am, H&M simply tops the go-to list for affordable style and great quality, which frankly, is very rare to find together.

  • Anna Dello Russo, Vogue Italy’s famous and vivacious fashion editor is collaborating with H&M this year for the ‘Fashion Icon’ collection- Cant wait to get my hands on this one- if it has Anna’s signature style in it, the collection is bound to be as outrageously cool as she is!
