I wish you could just stay little


Photoshop genius award goes to myself (ha-ha) This short post is specially dedicated to my dearest baby sister, Ameerah. 

Lovely, you are growing up so fast! At 12, there's not much you can do but I adore how you have matured quicker than anyone else at your age. Oh, I hope you don't grow any taller! Stay beautiful and huggable. When kaka Iqah graduates, insyallah you will have your very own room :)  I wish you a very happy birthday little one. I will always love you.

Lace at its Best

Instead of revising for my biology test, shall I talk about something more fascinating than ecology? As most of you all know the Met Ball had taken place last week on May 7th & I couldn't help but admire the resurgence of lace. 
Lily Collins in Valentino
Victoria Justice in Alexander McQueen
Marion Cotillard in Christian Dior
Beyoncé Knowles in Givenchy
Not my cup of tea but BeyoncĂ©'s gown reminds me of Michael Sherard's design back in 1958. 
Evening Dress by Michael Sherard
This is my favourite one out of all. Cue in the drum roll please! The most extravagant lace clothing worn from that night was the one and only dashing Marc Jacobs!
Hee :) Okay enough procrastinating.

Bohemian Brighties in Switzerland

Apologies for the lack of updates, though that wouldn't be necessary as no one actually stops by on our blog anyway (and it has been more than a year). Capital El-Oh-El. Time flies so quickly. BUT if anyone was wondering where we were, continue reading my first quick rant.

Bonjour tout le monde, oui, the title says it all! My family recently moved to Geneva, Switzerland not more than six months ago (except for Kaka Amal). I didn't have the slightest clue that we were going to move a bit too soon. Not alone living in Europe! Nevertheless, it was a big change; from a less developed to a more developed country. It was also a hectic move, packing everything until we were left with 400ish boxes to unload afterwards and especially leaving all the people behind... again. Thank god for Facebook and Skype! Geneva is wonderful and beautiful (not to mention expensive). We also rented a cheesecake-like-house near the French border, Carrefour is just five minutes away! :D






First snow 








Here's to a fresh new (overdue) beginning!
