Dream Closet
In our new home, there is one small corner walk-in closet in the master suite. Definitely not enough space to fit both my husband's and my clothes comfortably. So I thought I'd be generous and give up the walk-in closet so he could enjoy it all to himself. Thoughtful aren't I? O:)
Of course that leaves the question of where I'm going to store my clothes. Since there are two spare rooms on the top floor, I thought why not use one as a closet a la these examples:
I can't wait to make my own personal creative haven! Stay tuned for updates!

"Fashion" probably isn't the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks of Pakistan these days. With tragedies taking hold over much of the country recently, the majority of Pakistanis have more important things to occupy their time.
But Pakistan also has a rich diversity of culture and tradition of beautiful art and design. Take a look at the work of some of these Pakistani designers and artists:

While I must say most Bollywood actresses aren't known for their particularly good sense of style, there are a few who can dress to impress. A great example right now is famous Bollywood actor of the 80s, Anil Kapoor's daughter, Sonam Kapoor:
Good hair, great nails... Don't you just love glamor done right?

Anyone who knows me knows that for some reason, I know way too much about Bollywood. Although I don't particularly like the movies (they're kind of long and I sort of have ADD) I absolutely LOVE all the gossip and overall hotness! (So what if there's an absurd amount of plastic surgery!)
Although most Bollywood stars aren't known for having a particularly good sense of style, there are a few who've managed to move past the tacky looks Bollywood is best known for. Here are some Bollywood actresses dressing great at an international level:
Check out Priyanka Chopra in Salvatore Ferragamo/Spring 2009, and Sushmita Sen first in Roberto Cavalli/Spring 2009 and later Lanvin/Spring 2010
Stay tuned for more great examples of Bollywood glamour!

To help get some fall fashion inspiration, take some cues from these pages. Designers have taken pieces inspired by the 1970s and baroque periods as well as military this season. Here a few of my favorite looks from these themes:

With fall upon us, it's finally time to update our wardrobes! Fall is the perfect season for fashion. Instead of having to worry about ruining your shoes in snow or protecting yourself from the biting winter cold, you can focus on enjoying your clothes!
After you've followed fashion for a while, you notice that trends tend to recycle themselves. A simple way to update your look is to get just a few timely pieces from the current season. But the best way to keep things looking fresh is to mix things up in different and original ways.
Right now I'm in love with a pair of grey suede over-the-knee boots I recently bought.
Here are a few looks from Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent that showcase these boots. I love how she's pulled together one of her looks by layering different textures: a gold sequined mini-dress with a micro-knit cardigan on top:
As I mentioned before, layering your clothes is a great way to re-use pieces from past seasons AND utilize some of your own creativity! Here are some great examples of layering done right:
Some more layering, this time using one white shirt in two different ways + my favorite piece from this season, suede over-the-knee boots:
