WILD CHILD

70's Bohemian chic has taken the fashion scene by storm !

Charlie’s Angels inspired wide-leg pants, flowy chiffon maxi dresses, leather vests and soft fringes in brown recreate a rodeo show vibe.

Pile on those accessories !!! From feather inspired earrings  to statement piece necklaces...

All these fashion must haves will add an element of cool and freshness to your summer wardrobe.


Mixing ethnic prints with bright color combinations and traditional motifs  will add a sassy flair to this trend.

Rock The Casbah

 I’ve always been inspired to express myself through  fashion implementing pieces from my culture into my styling...

My first experience exposed to fashion was in Afghanistan, where I was born.The vibrant colors, the fabrics and textures were all reminiscent of the landscape.






Tom Ford calls the President of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai "the most chic man in the world", his appeal to the West is understandable...

 Impeccable in his dress, speech and manner, Karzai's elegance is universally admired. and his traditional karakul is fast becoming the latest thing in head wear.

The karakul was all the rage at the Rochas Autumn / Winter 2011 runway collection...

Starck by Design

French designer and architect Philippe Starck has taken the world of modern design by storm...

Creating eccentric pieces whose main aesthetic is to be useful before even being considered beautiful...

Starck's multifaceted designs can be seen in hotels and homes all over the world...

The Palazzina Grassi in Venice Italy is my favorite place to stay...

It was the home of an aristocrat, but now with Starck's unconventional designs it's an immaculate 5 star hotel... Truly magnificent...








By incorporating the unique and unusual with practical materials, we enter a world of fantasy created by the genius mind of  Philippe Starck...

Sexy Sailor

Hey sailor !!! Bring back the nautical trend...

Whip out your navy blues, anchors, sailor hats and tailored cuts...

Coco Chanel first introduced the "la mariniere" t-shirt  in 1917... Since then every big designer has restructured the look on all the runways...

The nautical trend is classic with a timeless feel... Using functional pieces that will always be classic no matter what fashion era...

The key pattern to this trend is to emphasize on stripes, black, navy, white and red color combination






Flare up your look with a pair of cat eye sunglasses or aviators and a vintage bag...

This trend can either be feminine or masculine depending on your personal style...

But if your deciding to go masculine, remember to complete the look with a pair 6 inch derbies, that way your still keeping it sexy...

Graceful Elegance

The woman that has been the greatest inspiration in my career and many others, is the iconic stylist and creative director of Vogue... GRACE CODDINGTON....

Grace's editorial layouts are known to be at times up to 20 pages long and quiet extravagant...







Her vision has always been consistent from the beginning....

Grace has a talent for picking out trends before they even become a hot item, making it a trademark to her success...

There is a sense of modern romanticism to her photographic editorials creating dream scape narratives...

"I like fairy tales, and I like dreaming. I try to weave the reality into the dream"...Grace Coddington

Bullfighters and Ballerinas

Grab the bull by the horns ballerinas and find your inner matador...

Spain has gotten me into a matador frenzy, I am loving all the intricate embroideries and silk blouses...I am seriously in love with the Matador look !!!

I've been inspired by Conchita Cintron, one of the world's most famous bullfighter also known as "The Blond Goddess"






She became popular with crowds because of her grace, style and bravado she showed in the ring...

The matador costume is quiet elaborate and as the Spanish would say "Traje de luces" which means  suit of lights...

Being a girl who loves intricate details and exaggerated shoulders on a jacket this is one look I will surely be rockin all over town....
