The Royal Wedding

No fashion blog would be complete without coverage of such a highly-anticipated event as the royal wedding, so here it is! I think it's pretty much unanimous that Kate's Alexander McQueen wedding dress was spectacular. The flattering sweetheart-bodice with lace long sleeves and high-collared deep v-neck hit the nail right on the head. And what girl doesn't dream of wearing a tiara on...

Fashion Trend: 70s Style Floppy Hats

Our society isn't that crazy about hats, is it? At least not the way the UK is, right? But I am loving black 70s-style floppy hats right now! So chic. Rachel McAdams, Nicole Richie and Kate Moss think so too: Image from People.com I found this version on asos.com for about $45: What do you think? ...

Fashion Runway: Pakistan Fashion Week Spring 2011

Style inspiration can come from anywhere! Incorporating global fashion inspiration can make your look stand out from the rest. I love fashion inspiration from South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh) and their use of bright colors, flowy silk fabrics and embellishments. These elements in your look can add a bold, feminine and sparkly touch. At the recent Pakistan fashion week, Muse was the most...

Beyonce Blonde!

Looks like Beyonce has gone back to blonde! I actually love her hair like this - long, straight and blonde. I think it brings out her tan and makes her look gorgeous! Perfect for summer! On a side note, love the print of the dress she's wearing, but not crazy about the cut. Image from People.com ...

How to Wear Ethnic Pieces: Add Leather

My parents are Pakistani-born while I was born and raised in good ol' Wisconsin, USA. With my parents' rich cultural heritage (like most other kids whose parents were first generation Americans), my siblings and I were often made to go to Pakistani parties and dress up in Pakistani clothes that my mom or grandma brought back with them from their trips abroad. I...

In Kate Moss, Style Icon

Kate Moss Bad Ass v. Ladylike

I like her in dark jeans, tousled hair, wild coat and big sunglasses. She looks better rock n' roll than dressed up - it's more her personality and image. She may look pretty, but I'm not too convinced by the dress. What say you? ...

Home Decor Inspiration: Bright and Bold Color

Spring 2011 fashion celebrates neon colors mismatched together - and I love the color sensory overload! To take a cue from this bright fashion trend, let's inject some color into our homes. Here are photos of some of my favorite bright rooms for inspiration: Bright colors in glossy finishes add extra glamor. Try contrasting them with black lacquer for a sleek end result....

In Beauty, Hair Color

Blonde or Brunette?

With spring on its way, I always want to lighten my hair. So the question is, Blonde or Brunette? Which look do you like better on Kim Kardashian? I think she can pull off both, but the blonde with the tan and the too-much-makeup makes her look like a beach bunny. If you're gonna go that light with your hair, I think you...
