R ecently, I had a short convo with one of my closest friends, Shamima (who also happens to be one of my muses). She has these very rare mom...
Idunn (not her real name, of course) was vibrant and always eager to help her kids. It didn't take me too long to try to get on her good side. There was once this social studies trivia competition for all the fifth-graders at school. She went around, one desk after another, asking us random questions to answer. In one particular question, which fell upon me to face, caught her off guard. What I mean is she wasn't expecting me to answer the question correctly. I was a geography nut in my youth so confidence was not lacking. She asked what the capital of Norway was. I answered Oslo, to her amazement she paused. Then, she followed up with the smile and said, "I'm impressed." I had won her over that day. I wish you could see me smirk right now.

Being a full time fashion/tech journalist in Dhaka has taken up most of my time. My day job, if you will, keeps me in check. Seems like most of my focus, 75% of it, is all in my work. That's wrong, it shouldn't be like that. Last night, as I was sitting in my place of serenity, I realized I was neglecting the one thing that got me started. This. This style blog of mine. If I am able to spend my off hours watching films (my first love and passion) and TV shows, why wouldn't I be able to take 15 minutes putting together a look for all of you?
It's what I do best, and I've always wanted to share that with the rest of the world. Mind you, this is only a taste of what I do. I'd prefer to work with individuals in person, of course. No apologies this time though. I don't feel I need to. Most of you would understand, most of you don't even care. You're here for one thing and one thing only. These looks and the stories behind them. Well, hello world. I'm back.
Today's look is about a woman I know that takes life with a certain sexy, kick-ass attitude. In Arabic, her name means "morning". In Hebrew, "oath" or "promise." She happens to be one hell of a woman. I thought it would be appropriate to make my first post, after a long wait, with her in mind. I'd like to think we have a special connection. It's like two Apple devices in sync; we just click and reminisce about the 90s. Then, there's the regular sniffing each other's necks because we're intoxicated with one another's fragrances like two in-heat animals. Was that too much? Yeah. It was. Anyway, yes, it's winter but the sun tends to creep in from time to time. And here is what is produced.
