I've always had an undying obsession with surfing and would pretty much give anything to spend my days on a beach with a surfboard in hand, enjoying the waves and the sun-kissed life. Until that day comes, skateboarding has become my new thing, never thought I'd be the skater type, but hey, its fun!

Metallic Craze

 Wishing you all an incredible weekend, I leave you with some food for thought...


The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity answered "Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices his money to recuperate his health.  And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived"

Girlish


I really like this shot of Raquel Zimmerman for the editorial spread 'Heat Wave' in the June 2011 edition of Vogue UK.  Reminds me of Barcelona, late afternoons at the beach, tranquil days and the feminine touches us girls can incorporate into our looks.

Tailored

Blazer, Urban Outfitters // Top, H&M // Bag, Marc by Marc Jacobs //
I'm not really big on blazers, not because I don't like their style but I always found it challenging to find one that fits me the way I like. But when I saw this one at Urban Outfitters from their "Classic Collection" line a while back, I couldn't resist all the tweed-ed shades of gray and it was the only one and a perfect fit! Yeah baby! Don't you love when that happens? The blistering hot weather in Kuwait has finally began to cool down so I've already started to whip out some of my fall goods.
