a fabulous line of watches designed by Crispin Jones of London..

"This is the most accurate wristwatch you can buy - the hour hand reads "remember", the minute hand "you will die".

The dial and rim of the glass are mirrored, so the wearer is reflected in the watch face (so there is no ambiguity about who the message is aimed at!)

The Accurate is a link to the tradition of the memento mori - an object designed to remind us that life is brief and that we should seize the moment while we are here."

Bendel Babe to Blog..im sort of still kind of here..

2009-06-28T01:50:00.006+04:00

bonjour lovelies, im not just blogging because of the rain. i think snickerdoodle crumbs cupcakes give me a high.. alors the sugar buzz tipped me to the love rather than hate relationship i have been having with blogging..in general.

so why the lapse? bb msnger has taken a toll on my lust for the written word and my friends share my most intimate and random thoughts at all times. my blog unfortunately has taken a back seat.

if anyone is still around let me indulge you with random mobile shots of life as it stands for yours truly x

lemme begin with a shout out to my friends on 53rd and 6th .. i seriously dont mind the long lines at midnight for DELISH chicken and rice - people let it be known here and beyond that i have had the platter! lol

VOGUE what?? NEWBEAUTY is like THE magazine to have. a beauty bible of all things fab - so what if i read cover to cover a gazillion times it just makes me that much cooler lol

ps. im a FUNCTIONALAB junkie & Luhving it.. join the clique ..im a 7 x

Size 6 copper Ginas

2009-05-05T23:52:00.000+04:00

To the girl who ended up getting them lbs el3afyh xx

The lowdown: Boutique 1 sale. moi et lulu shoe shopping and fluttering in temperly love.. I decide to put the copper pair aside while I try on THE fabulous top that matches..(Bainy w bainkom I didn't fancy the pair..its just the sale part that gets me all psycho) so we both get a knock on the fitting room door..another lady is not only eye-ing my ginas but desperatly pouting for them.. Suddenly they become the only thing I think about I become all defensive and juuuuust a teeeeeny weeeeny bit mad I tell the sales lady that they are mine!!!

Seconds later..
I glance at my reflection and think but maybe by giving them up "desperate woman" would have a fabulous highlight to her day..and thus inturn mine..

Ohooo!! Now I simply to give them up. I did and still do feel all the more better my soles shall sparkle in gina glamour any other day ;p

..more to the point.. Why does being possesive over an item oooooonly appears after we know that someone else has their eye on it ..? lol in the past I aaaaaaalways end up buying watever it is..cause if I can't make my mind up then it must be worth it if a lady is lingering (more like hovering) over the item longer than a few minutes waiting for me to decide.

----
So in the case of women and sales: Posession always clouds judgement on aaaaaanything that aaaanybody shows a remote bit of interest on.

Alors girls:

1. Believe in Karma
2. ACT indifferent and trust me u will own it..

2009-05-04T23:25:00.000+04:00

ever since I "retired" (from my dream job mind u - long story..lesson learnt: fashion and stress should never go hand on hand) I vowed to never let a day go by without a highlight.. I want to look back and think everyday was well spent..no regrets avec delightful memories..I take pleasure in the most ordinary of things and share my highlights with my bb buddies.. It could be a delish scoop of icecream at midnight and just wen I'm craving a hagen daz affogado..or spending the day with lulu doing unbelivable BTA yoga lol (I shall not elaborate on how crazy it is) or just hanging out at the "shelter" ..perhaps indulging in a FAT Burger .le gasp!

In tonight's case..it was receiving a postcard from a highschool friend in Paris (awww)..I hate that the only postcard I ever sent was to my father a million years ago..next time I'm on a street side cafe and as cheeeesy as it might seem I will send a postcard avec a polaroid to the person I miss the most right then and there..and perhaps bring asmile to them late at night wen they have just come home to collapse on the sofa and watch rotana zaman..

Mais oui... la vie est plus belle quand on l'ecrit soi meme (life is best played without a script) x

Here's to having many sweet ..simple and memorable highlights.. :)

Saturday

2009-05-02T22:55:00.000+04:00

Is just like any other day..to reward my fabulosity in yoga my body demands a treat or two.
..Just so you know I'm hooked on kitsch's peanut butter cupcakes!! 3azab!

..So what makes this saturday different? Ummmmm Twalaht 3ala my blog!! I somehow got sidetracked to the more important things in life..the happenings the whereabouts (omg dubai is my most favorite concrete jungle there is always a new spa and hot spot to melt my heart) and kinda fazed out tech anything (ala dr. Lipman's SPENT - get a copy from amazon asap-- lipman speaks to ME) yes I'm spent? and on the way to recovery.

Ok I must admit I think I'm really blogging causei can't be bothered to change the batteries on my tv remote LOL je sais I'm baaaad.. But if I don't stop being lazy (and wait for the last chunk of hersheys to melt in mouth) I'll miss my nightly fix of 1950's b/w eygptian movies..a night sans souad hosni et al is utterly un-inspirational.

If only I could find an even stronger one to sum up all that I feel for my BB bold.

Enough freezing.crashing.uncaught errors already!!

And now I'm starting to question the entire notion of being connected 24/7 .. Is there such thing as being too connected? I'm literally alwaysglued to my phone the browser..my emails ..msnger (wats up with strangers sharing their pins) I share everything with my bb budies and wudhate to have strangers lurking on my list!!

I'm leaning towards the new prada LG its soooo sleek.. Or get back into the BB bandwagon..maybe back to a curve the latest one javallin I think ismh??

From right: red head huda who's always in a rush. Eats everything sans sauce and can live on fresh orange juice and margaretta pizzas only. She also makes a weird sound wen she's sleepy or has a headache.

In the centre is urs truly. Noora. She is overly obsessed with ribbons (alas the blue bow in her hair) finds extraordinary pleasure in the most ordinary of things and a super frothy chino makes her day. also was just surrounded by many pretty butterflies. Euphoric!

To the left is Alya..she is outspoken yet super mellow. Always laidback and tres chic. she usually splurges on the most coveted item du jour

what dismal financial crisis. spring '09 is looking fabulous already!

according to dipesh d..

2009-02-05T16:12:00.001+04:00

"..But there's nothing like the society-page crowd, with big, bleached hair and dangly diamond earings, brandishing their Birkins like swords drawn at a duel, to bury a brand. These ladies my well have boosted visibility, but at what cost?

..Once an aspirational icon of class, grace and elegance, the bag has now become the benchmark for a completely different kind of woman. So I say, pull up that drawbridge! The elite allure of the Birkin may be lost, but let's at least save the Kelly while we can."

What say you? I'm so over the 10million birkin sightings a day in Dubai..if u buy a bag to validate ur existense and so called status..I think money spent on self help would be a much better investment. Also enough with 8000 dhs fakes! Seriously?!

the skinny on '09 fundamentals

2009-01-07T15:36:00.005+04:00

huge fan of the daily candy..thought id share my favorite DailyCandy fundamentals in no particular order (which is how it should be) :

- Tip Well. be generally generous

- Call your Parents.

- Call your grandparents. better yet visit them. regularly!

- Sweat the small Stuff. Drink Lots of water. Write Thank You notes.

- Pay attention to the Extremities: good hair, nails and shoes make all the difference.

- Indulge in the Extreme. Balance is Overrated.

- Wash Behind your Ears.

- Choose to be Happy.

- Never Clip your nails in Public.

- Acknowledge Good Work wherever you find it.

- Floss.

- Things you CAN Buy on the Cheap without noticing a huge difference: Ibuprofen. canned tomatoes. pepper. coffee filters. flip-flops. bleach.

- Things you CAN'T buy on the Cheap without noticing a huge difference: Shoes. Sushi. Produce. Bras. Stationery.

- Keep A Diary. its amazing the details you'll forget within a few months.

- Bad drivers deserve to be Shot.

- Do Something that Scares you. then do something else that scares you.

- Find your Moral Compass. And on a regular basis, do whatever you need to do to realign it. (Religion, exercise, meditation, yoga, bungee jumping) Because that's the thing about your moral compass: It will, from time to time, get knocked out of whack.

- Move On.

- You'll never get anywhere Arguing: Politics. Religion. Child-Rearing.

- But you might make Headway Debating: Diets. Dinner.

- Sometimes you need to direct your life. And sometimes you need to react to what life directs at you.

- If you hear a compliment about a friend, Pass it along.

- Eat One Serving of Brightly Colored food Daily. colors should be those normally occurring in nature. (which means orange cheese- puffs don't count).

- Little Kids are Wise. Listen to them.

- The Three Best Three-Word phrases in the English Language: 1. I love you 2. You were Right 3. That was Delicious!

- The Single Best Word: No

- Dance, if only in your underpants and around your living room, at least twice per week. Feel free to sing while you're at it (especially songs from The Sound of Music).

- NAP.

- If you were meant to be Together. You would be Together.

- Buy yourself Flowers.

- Wish on Pennies and Stars.

- Multitask (leg lifts in front of the TV work well)

--------

Alas. lovelies. I say: cherish your days with wisdom to live by. be your own philosopher. believe in your ideals..(you know those things without which one is generally screwed). make mistakes. move on and be fabulously happy x

in the midst of it all

2009-01-06T23:45:00.003+04:00

in school i used to rally for palestine. i still have my good old days yasser arafat wearing raybans pic on a keychain on my makeup bag..

today i woke up overwhelmed with guilt. how can my life just go on with the current state in Gaza..i feel sick knowing that my hair appointment and dinner yet again with friends are on top of my priorities for the day. everything feels tasteless.. and i cant get myself to get out of bed. i stopped watching the news..and the only reason i decided to blog. get dressed and start living again is ... that i have faith in prayer

{وَكَانَ حَقّاً عَلَيْنَا نَصْرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ}

please pray for palestine

the morning after

2008-12-22T11:52:00.005+04:00

so this might come as a shock but mornings are not my thing now (i know?@!) it takes one of the three things to get me out of bed:

- meeting my nephew or having him dropped off on my bed..like a little cuddly parcel..(in cute babygap pjs..i insist ..cause they look adorable on him! ..he is sleeping next to me now in a glow in the dark skeleton one lol)

..yah so im always asleep at that point but wakeup with someone pulling my hair. and suddenly. life is just perfect. i squeeze him to the point of depriving him of air. he then decides to either sleep next to me or clap his way into making me open the yo gaba gaba elijah wood dance..its our song ;)

- meeting my bestie for a VENTI dose of caffeine..and gossip. the innocent kind. ;p

- huda randomly coming into my bedroom (the first thing i shout is the typical. latfte7eeen il laitat) and force her to sit on my bed in complete darkness lol

& then ONLY then do i use my two most favorite energizing beauty products. TUBES OF MAGIC.

1- Biotherm's flash recharge concentrate

it's perfect with or without makeup its an instant wake me up for dull.colourless.insomniac skin ..magic ingredients: powerful antioxidants - pure ginseng and golden root to stimulate micro circulation and revitalize skin. its a GREAT pre party product. and the only thing you will need to take to makkah lol (yes skin is always fatigued and deprived there and this is my haram secret to looking like ive had over 12 hours of sleep ..shhh ;)

2- Dove's GOfresh body lotion

i blogged about this before. seriously my skin tingles all over..and suddenly i have enough energy to shop around dubai mall lol.. i love it...

so..do u have any wake me up asap secrets? x

i'm watching the holiday (again).. i love this movie.. it's so corny ...and maybe i want corny in my life.

and ..you just have to wait for it but .. the scene where cameron runs back to jude.. everything is just what its should be.. and jude ...crying ....well. uh i could die !! C-U-T-E!!!

plus then there is this scene.. when iris (kate winslet) breaks down.. truly..words to live by..

"I've found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said "Journeys end in lovers meeting." What an extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely close to that, but I am more than willing to believe Shakespeare had. I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said "love is blind". Now that is something I know to be true. For some quite inexplicably, love fades; for others love is simply lost. But then of course love can also be found, even if just for the night. And then, there's another kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims. Its called unrequited love. Of that I am an expert. Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone? We are the victims of the one sided affair. We are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones, the walking wounded. The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking space!"

i can relate. why?..

random snippets from my current bb convo with bestie:

noora: btw i'm wearing the mj shirt again lol 2 days in a row cause i love it soooo much!!

fatima: i should introduce u to mj

noora: plz do ..and give him my bb pin

fatima i'm sure ull straighten him up

(if only life was that simple) lol and so. marc. i might consider moving on. but maybe just after spring. i need some genius in my life still. ;)

and probably the highlight of all highlights in december..

an email i got from FABULOUS Aljoud. on my birthday. an illustration ala niftee. and i might have seen this a tad late but nevertheless it was a delight. i love it as much as i love your work. always creative. always adorable. merci for making my day. a day that ends with a perfect smile.

sweet dreams lovelies & dont forget to read alkahf tomorrow x
