Summer's out!

Schools out. Hot summer is here, and I along with all my batch mates, rather all the high school graduates from twenty thirteen await their life at college.

I frankly am a little anxious. I have to shift to a city I have never visited and a life I have no idea about. When I sort of fell upon this realization I made a list of things I want to do before I start a new life, so to say. I highly doubt that I would actually end up accomplishing even 5 of these, but what the hell: I’ll go ahead write it out so at least I have an aim.

1)      VISIT FERARI WORLD.
I have lived here, in Dubai for about 6 years. It is a two hour drive to the fastest roller coaster in the world and yet I have never had the time to. SO, this time I will.

2)      EARN MONEY FOR MYSELF
I have volunteered one too many times and it’s all good and self-less, but before I go off to college, I want to earn money, like real cash and go berserk shopping.

3)      LEARN ARABIC
This is ridiculous. I know how to read and write a language and yet I have absolutely zilch idea as to what the words mean.  The people sound so suave when they go on without a single stutter. I should should should learn it.

4)      VISIT VOGUE CAFÉ
Dubai is likely to end up as the fashion capital of the world, and I don’t want to miss out on the beautiful café which is set in Dubai mall (This one is due to be completed soon, since A and I will go there and put up a post about it soon)

5)      CHECK OUT THE DUBAI MUSEUM
I know the place isn’t profound, I mean, this is a desert and all a very transient place but I don’t want to leave a city without trying to understand the little history it has

6)      GO FOR A MASSAGE
I have never been for a massage, and I know it’s all for the stressed people of the world, and currently, I have nothing taxing me, but I still want to. Time will be of the essence in college and I wouldn’t have a single chance to go for the same.

7)      GO TO THE JUMEIRAH BEACH HOTEL BEACH.
I once went there for my friend’s birthday; we illegally cut cake there, now I want to legally eat there and un-stress by the saline beach and the aquamarine waters.

8)      DRIVE THROUGH PALM JUMEIRAH
Since I have a license now, I can, so I will <3

9)      DUNE BASHING
I have done it once, but I want to do it again. It is just the most adrenaline rushing thing on earth. Ok, not the most, but close enough.

10)   DRIVE TOP DOWN IN A CONVERTIBLE
Ok, my parents wouldn't buy me one so I have reached an agreement to rent a car for one day, and drive through the speedy lanes of Shk. Zayed with my hair all flying and an Alexander McQueen scarf and Prada shades. Sort of try my hardest to live up to the precedent set by Grace Kelly.

The hot summer proves a hindrance to this, but I will try my best to fulfill it, despite my oh so hugely procrastinating self.

Love, love and some more love,

Chanel's Little Black Jacket in Dubai!

Hello lovelies!
Hope everyone is having a lovely day!

Well we all aware about the classic black jacket created by Coco Chanel in the 1950s. It's a girls dream to own a jacket by Chanel. It is that one piece of clothing that can rarely be worn wrongly.

Luckily, Chanel bought their photographic exhibition 'Chanel's Classic Revisited by Karl Lagerfeld and
Carine Roitfeld' to Dubai after being held in Tokyo, Milan, London and many more cities. For those who aren't aware of this exhibition, It is an exhibition where the original photographs, taken by Karl Lagerfeld, are displayed which illustrate the versatility and timelessness of the classic black jacket which is modelled by a range of famous faces, styled by Carine Roitfeld, who reflect their own incredible style. In addition to those photographs, new photographs featuring celebs like the gorgeous Keira Knightley, Diane Kruger and many more were displayed for the first time.
The exhibition was held in a custom built black box structure in Downtown Dubai with Burj Khalifa as the backdrop. Not only was the space really nice and simplistic, in addition to that the exhibition was brilliant. The pictures were amazing. They portrayed Chanel's values of excellence, simplicity and creativity.
For those who missed the exhibition, do check out the website for behind-the-scenes videos (www.littleblackjacket.chanel.com).

Thank you Chanel.. until next time. 

Glimpses of India

Hello all you beautiful people :)

It's been a while, a long long while. I was in India with a miserable internet connection and lots of food, and of course an abundance of ethnic fashion statements.
I went to a place called Dilli Haat, which is located in the midst of screeching cars and screaming vendors. Its a sort of a congregation of weavers and jewelers from all over India.
Here are a few glimpses of what I saw and loved:

Now I bid adieu again,
with hopes that you all liked it.
Love,
S <3
