Lawn Frenzy: Sapphire Lawn Collection 2015


People, Lawn Season has officially begun! Although I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that, let the scorching heat do its own talking :p Not to mention The Crazy Aunty Parade, according to whom all lifeforms will end if they don't get THAT PARTICULAR suit. (Seriously, I have heard CRAZY stories o_o)
Before I begin, I feel I should probably put this out there that the lawn in question is the cloth material thingy, not in fact, a field of grass (as in the misleading yet slightly clever picture above). Ya get? Okay good.

So, Sapphire Lawn is another brain child of the talented Khadija Shah. Let me just say Khadija S. did a wonderful job this time with Elan....who am I kidding, she does wonders EVERY single time. This year was no exception. She put up wonderful designs for Elan. Let me show you a few.

Instant rosy winter glow


I once read a genius tip online for an instant blush in emergency situations, and this has been a total game changer for me. This not only works for when you need to liven up your face but don't have any makeup on you, but also for regular days when you dont wanna put in too much effort/are in a hurry. The trick is to...

A Little Revamping...And We Nailed It.


Can I tell you a secret?

 I've NEVER tried the classic white-tipped French Manicure, ever. I've always thought it looks better on longer nails, and I keep mine really short, much to the annoyance of my mother. 
So I never really tried it. 

 Lucky for me, the reverse manicure has been such an amazing hit. It's been seen everywhere on the runway this year, and now it has hit the streets too. 

 I mean, look at these. Okay, so these are from last year, but they look AMAZING. Andd, some of them, mostly the nudes can go for this year as well. The following pictures are from the AW12 Fashion Week. Behold.

So, I only like looks 1,2 and 4. The 3rd box is a bit too much for me, and honestly, who would go to so much trouble? Not that it doesn't look tres chic. But 1,2 and 4. That is something I could defo try. I especially love how delicate and sophisticated the Fourth ones look.


Coming towards here, I LOVEEE the burgundy/oxblood ones. The metallic ones are not to my liking at all, but MAJOR ENVY for the burgundy ones. Her hands look so neat and elegant, I am in love with the nails on the left.

Oxblood is an amazing color for this Winter. Because it's a little different, and more deeper than your classic red, I think it gives the perfect amount of warmth and depth for these cold months. I've yet to find the perfect Oxblood Color, but I will start my search in a few days. Look at how warm they look.


These look AMAZING. My mother thinks they make you look older or more sober, but I love the look. 
What do you guys think? Reverse Manicure, Yay or Nay? And do you dig oxblood nails or wanna pass this one?
Do let me know!

PS. In the title picture, I've used this plain old Black to spruce up the tips, while the base coat is a barely there shade by Loreal, called 'Blush It Off'.

Shoes Like Whoa.


I've had a revelation.

My purpose in life is to do anything but waste 5 minutes (more like 50) everyday on Facebook.

Also. What is up with my Twitter obsession? I tweet like a two year old on Crystal Meth. Bad reference. Pardon me.

So, a few days ago, I told you about an old pair of sneakers that was sitting in my cupboard. I finally mustered up courage to look up from my laptop and tweak 'em up. 

It was...amazing. Spectacular. Can I say 'life-changing'? Of course I can. It's my blog, I can say whatever I like.

Framing Up Life.


Omg am I the only one who spends the whole day doing nothing?

I get up late.

Eat. Drink. Whine about how fat I'm getting.

I write this with a skipping rope by my side. A skipping rope I used only once. Thigh gap? What thigh gap?

Hello Summer '13.
And hello Ramzan.
