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 Beyoncé'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!

Did the sun just came out? or did you just smile?






I've always been fond of Carrie Bradshaw from Sex & The City and for every opening credits of the show Carrie never fails to look adorable in her pink tulle skirt. Just the other day my parents took me to Thailand for a day trip and I managed to get my hands on this lovely black knee length tulle skirt. I love how practical this skirt is! I can use it for both formal and casual wear. I'm a happy camper!



much love,
A

Aime moi moins mais aime moi longtemps



What I need to do over the December break is to just soak myself in with some indie music, watch a few French movies and hibernate before going back to Bruland. It's a gloomy cold Thursday today and days like these are always enlightened by a cup of hot milo.

I've got my GCSE results already and..

Just kiddinggg

Alhamdulillah. A good end to summer 2010 :)


It's my last night in Vientiane for this summer and I'm leaving with my mom, maid & Iqah, to KL tomorrow. So far this summer I have:


1) Discovered new found treasures! By treasures I mean cute dainty boutiques in Udorn Thani and got myself amazing finds.
2) Fed and held a tiger cub for the first time.
3) Held a living leather... I mean a baby crocodile.

4) Broken the record and went to Thailand for more than 4 times in the past 6 weeks haha
5) Come to realize my devotion for cooking (not just making sandwiches).

Summeries: 





Zirah's parents came for Sungkai one night while they were here in the city.














I my dad. I'm going to miss him. He's le coolest & not just because he's getting me a Gucci perfume.
