For those who know me, know that I'm a huge Manchester United supporter. I love sports and always have. And my love for United shall never falter. Well, you guessed it, this number is inspired but the colours of my favourite club, with the fading summer in mind.

Recently, 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 moments where she second guesses her style choices, which is baffling to me at times because this woman is perfect in all aspects of life. Well, she may not see it that way, but I can never let up on how amazing she is. Anyway, so this British beauty sparked another look in my head.
One of the many things I love about her is her fearlessness. So many things have been thrown at her and she's faced them like a champ. I figured she deserves to put on a badass outfit, with a hint of sophistication. Shamima, you rock my world, girl.

I am going to leave this story to the imagination. She's been in my head for a while so it was only appropriate. Just know that she is sexy, smart, talented and everything dreams are made of. Like Trey Songz be sayin', "I've seen your Instagram, but you look better up in person!"

There's this journal that was given to me as a gift from my very close friend Sabrina (aka the Jessica to my Harvey). It's a sophisticated, dark grey journal, with the name Istanbul imprinted on the front cover, tempting you to feel the smooth grooves on each letter. An outline of the Istanbul skyline is set in the background, as it is a promotional item from Turkish Airlines. She brought it for me after her short trip to the so called Paris of the Middle East. It may not seem much, but I think it's beautiful. It has that old world feel to it. It's been sitting in my room untouched up until now, I never knew what to write in it or if I ever would. But recently, something happened in my life. It's not life-altering but it sparked an idea; I knew what I wanted to write about in that journal. Women.
All the significant women in my life are going to be in that journal. A handwritten account of each woman I fancied, was attracted to, crushed on, infatuated with, and the ones I was foolishly in love with. Obviously, those intimate details of each account will never be disclosed. What I can share with you are each woman's characteristics that make up her style. Through each of these looks, in what I like to call the Private Collection, you will be able to imagine what each woman looked like. So this is a separate book of its own, but you can still search for each look from the Private Collection under the category of The Outfit on my page. Well, the intro is done. Let's start from the beginning: my first crush.
As a young boy, being my mother's only child, I would be dragged along to wherever she went. This meant I was always surrounded by women. My love, respect, and appreciation of God's most beautiful creation started at a very young age. It was around the 3rd grade when I first encountered my first crush. She was a family friend. Some of you who know me, know exactly who I'm talking about. Regardless, let's call her Nefertiti. This Bangali beauty was a total knockout. Her flawless fair skin, sharp features, and a welcoming warmth was second to none. I couldn't understand it at the time, but I was always drawn to her. That killer smile, my God. She was always kind to me in her playful nature, something I will never forget. When I got older, I wondered if a woman could be so perfect. A few years older than me, we never really connected like I would with other women later in life. Nonetheless, she was the first. I would like to think she was versatile and confident, so her look can be left to the imagination.

The trouble with love is...no matter how hard you try to make her realize she deserves better, she won't believe in it herself. There's always a fear or a cowardly excuse from embracing true love. Sweetheart, it's about setting yourself free; it's about accepting the truth. Give it a chance, that's all you need.
