Thursday Photoshoot for Farah

Thursday was a crazy day in the studio, we have an intern now from University, who will be with us for 6 weeks, We had a special beauty shoot for Farah, we always do special makeup for her each year to add it in portfolio and magazines ads. we were like bees, the MUA is working, hairstylist Marie is making the hair and the trainer is having backstage photo shoot with our lovely model of the day: Salwa Ayari

the photography fashion part of it:
as i said in my latest post that i will try something comfy and fashionable to tell you if it will work out while you are shooting, my pick of the day was stripe embellished top from new look with the pearls in the shoulder and legging jeans from 21, with stripe white and black shoe from Grey Mer by the way he has really cool new collection you must check the website.
I couldn't find the top's photo online so this is the similar look but with white pearls in the shoulder

stripes are on for this summer and that makes me really happy i can't have enough of stripe tops, I'm addicted when it comes with strips, they look good and so relaxing for our hot weather plus chic! and a perfect match for your Chanel bag.

the reason why i like NewLook in Dubai mall is because they are always get the latest trends than other shops, yes i like other shops as well, but till they get the new collection here it became old history, I like to get the classic dresses and outfits from the labels i like, but when it comes with the latest fashionable trends i like to get it from NewLook, 21 and sometimes Zara which they bring it faster than other shops, what about you?

other ppl wearing stripes and i like :

Hanh, this lady is really cool, she travels to many places and take some shots of her cool outfits, visit her blog: http://life-in-travel.blogspot.com

Why I love Gwyneth Paltrow

because i love her style through all these years, and the way she keeps her body in shape, the way of yoga, and her goop!!

What i like also in her website, that she is the one who writes and picks the photos, also there is a section for her daily fashion with photos. She helps her reader how to stay in style and comfy. she is also a huge fan of TopShop like many other celebs.
here are some photos i picked to share with you from www.goop.com
and Gwyneth .. welcome to bloggers world!!^^







jumpsuit looking great if you are super super tall or super super thin, perfect on her really

and here is a nice article at emirates business newspaper about my upcoming book just few things i will currect, i have High Diploma in communication art not diploma. I'm getting my master soon and my ladydesign established in 2005 ^^

are you a fan or a stalker?

I know i don't blog like i used to, I'm sorry i keep telling myself i will post something and then i get busy, I was really happy to hear good feedback about my latest work from fans who send me emails or msgs. It means a lot to me that you are following my updates. It's very cute when i hear some girls saying we stalking you and check your work, it's not stalking it's what fans like to do, stalking is something bad and dangerous, it's when someone checking on you and they hate you and never give a good comment when they like something but bad comment when they notice or dislike something, these i call them stalkers & i ignore them but when it comes to interfere my private life i get really angry.
I know you will tell me it's a price of being in public and fame, but it doesn't have to be this way, as long as they stay where they are, i don't mind.
I'm having special preparations if I will make a signing book day, I'm still not sure if i will make this step, it's a nice thing to meet the fans but not stalkers. so I'm arranging something for my stalkers otherwise there will not be a signing book day
what makes me really sad that my fans are becoming victims because of what stalkers do. so i am trying my best to think of good ideas.
