Purplexity

I stumbled upon these poems about the color purple which I was inspired to come up with this look.

Purple

Purple is flowers

Purple is royalty

Purple is for longing

Purple is my saddened tears

Purple smells like grapes in the middle of April

Purple tastes like wine on a Sunday morning

Purple sounds like a hippo in the wilderness making his calls of pain

Purple looks like a little child gripping onto her sister's hand

Purple feels like baby smooth skin

Purple makes me feel sadness

Purple is a reminder of Jordan

If Purple Could Heal You

If Purple Could Heal You

By Tameka Callaway

One day, you told me that Purple is your favorite color.

I wish that purple can heal you

If purple could heal you, I would give purple flowers everyday

in a purple vase that will make your day

I would wear purple lip stick so I come leave kisses on you face

Wish there was purple days and purple nights

If only purple could heal you, I will give a purple glass of purple kool aid with purple ice so you would have a purple tong

I would go to the end of the world to find you the perfect purple yarn so I could make you a purple body suit from head to toe

Oh how I would give you a purple world 

But for now, I just give you a purple poem 

I love you

Purple

Purple is the color of love, 

Purple is the color I dream of.

Purple is the color of passion, 

Purple is the latest fashion.

Purple is the color of glad, 

Purple is the best color they had.

Purple is the color of laughs, 

Purple is what he said on my behalf.

Purple is the color of me, 

Purple is the best, you see.

Confessions on a Dance Floor in KSA

On November 15, 2012 a party was organized by the Association of Bikolanos in the Eastern Region of KSA and I was invited over by friends which I was excited as always. This is a night of pure clean fun by the way. It was all about meeting new friends, good Filipino food and great dancing. 

We were one of the early birds that night so we had the opportunity to take as many photos as we could in each room of the rented villa. When I saw the dance floor I couldn't help but remember the  photos from the " Confessions Tour  of Madonna . When I saw the dance floor , I knew I had to bring the little Madonna inside and played with my cam with friend Jonathan.

Gangnam Style Gets Viral in Saudi Arabia

Here is a version from Saudi Arabs. 

Hope you like it guys! Beso!

Laced with Lace

I am an avid fan of Marc Jacob's eponymous clothing line, designing for LV and ofcourse his personal sense of style. He made wearing kilt sexy and cool but what can you say about the Commes des Garcons lace dress he had worn on MET Gala 2012?

I personally love the sheer frock but not so sure about the white boxer shorts. Its just something I didn't expect much from him although he looks hot.

I tried channeling the look in my own style. Instead of making a dress, I had  requested my favorite tailor to make a shirt out of a lace material which he was hesitant to accept at first as it is hard to work with.

I hope you like it guys!!!

The Iconic Arab Women

What do Princess Ameerah, Sheikh Mozha and Queen Rania have in common?

They captivate the world not only with their beauty and grace but by the humanitarian activities they lead and the causes they are fighting for. That is what real beauty is all about.

I have been an avid fan of royal families since the time of the late Princess Diana and have been more fascinated with the emergence of beautiful arab royal in the middle east. 

Lets get to know them. 

 Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned is the second of the three wives of Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani from Qatar.

Sheikha Mozah is Chairperson of the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development since 1995, Chairperson of Silatech since 2008, Chairperson of the Arab Democracy Foundation, President of the Supreme Council for Family Affairs since 1998. Also, she is Vice-President of the Supreme Education Council since 2002 and was UNESCO's Special Envoy for Basic and Higher Education in 2003. Currently, she serves as a member of the Board of Overseers for Weill Cornell Medical College. Besides this, she is also currently Chair of Sidra Medical and Research Center in Doha and the organisation "Your Link".

Unlike many other monarchical wives in the Middle East, Sheikha Mozah has been a high-profile figure in her nation's politics and society, actively involved in Qatar's government. She was a driving force behind Education City and Al Jazeera Children's Channel. Additionally, she has been named as one of Forbes' 100 Most Powerful Women at #74.

  

Recently, she is voted among the most stylish women in the world by US magazine Vanity Fair which didn’t come to me as a surprise as she is known for her love of fashion. She wears haute-couture from the biggest names in the fashion industry like Jean paiul gaultier, Stephane Rowland and Chanel mixing it with her own conservative style. A true model for arab women. Fabulous!

Princess Ameera bint Aidan bin Nayef Al-Taweel Al Osaimi Al-Otaibi is a philanthropist. She assumes the the role of Vice Chairperson of Al-waleed bin Talal Foundation and member of the board of trustees which supports a wide range of humanitarian interests both in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and around the world.

 The princess looks amazing in lace just like when she donned an outfit to the royal wedding of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine Middleton.

Rania Al Abdullah is the current Queen consort of Jordan as the wife of the King Abdullah II of Jordan.

Queen Rania speaks on behalf of a variety causes both at home and abroad. In Jordan, her work concentrates on the calibre and quality of Jordanian children, while abroad she advocates for global education and for world leaders to fulfil their commitments towards the second Millenium Development Goan, Universal Primary Education.

She was ranked as the most beautiful consort (or first lady) in the world by Harpers and Queen magazine in 2011.

Her style is very modern and chic. Her style is very accessible as you would see her very casual at times.

What Do You Think of Men in Floral?

Flowers are indeed a gift from Mother Nature. They don’t only serve as an ornament, source of medicine and food but an inspiration to great artists and designers.

Fashion as they say is always evolving. Nothing is permanent in the world of fashion but one thing is for sure, floral prints will stay forever. The Aloha shirt is a perfect example. The iconic shirt that originated in Hawaii way back in 1930’s is still popular these days influencing many people from different parts of the world on how we dress up. Floral designed clothes have become staples not only for summer/ spring collections but for fall/winter as well. The Spring/Summer Menswear for 2013 is no exception. Beautifully designed menswear with flowers of various kinds is showcased by top designers.

Men use to give flowers to ladies but now, they are wearing it! Why not? They look equally good as ladies in floral prints. Lets us take a look of the best floral printed clothes for men this season.

The floral printed bomber jackets are a big trend this season as seen on the runway of Gucci and Versace. The Biker jacket is given a twist in 3.1 Phillip Lim by inducing little touches of flowers in black which is uber chic. Roses prove to be an all time favorite even in fashion as seen on Paul Smith, Versace and Christopher Kane. Carven might have been inspired by flowers that seem to be used for botanical experiments during the old times while Topman played with it to make it look more fun and young. I personally love the presentation of Paul and Joe as they show that a tough boy can wear anything even the most lavish floral print, besides it takes a real man to wear one. Bottoms with floral prints are also a major trend.

Even the tough boy can wear floral in Paul and Joe.

Incorporate some of these clothes to your wardrobe and wear them with confidence.
