After scouring the blog scene and not finding one that actually “speaks” to me, I decided to start my own. I am a culture obsessed, self-proclaimed beauty junkie, fashion enthusiast, and lover of all things shiny and luxurious. I have varied interested, so this blog will reflect that: fashion, beauty, love and life.

Nolcha Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013: M.N ALOUSH

When the first model of a show emerges wearing a Catwoman mask, you immediately know you are about to witness something amazing.

Nolcha Fashion Week: Angelys Balek

On Wednesday, September 12th, I attended the fashion show of Thailand-based designer Angelys Balek, as part of Nolcha Fashion Week at Pier 59 in New York City. The show opened with playful patterns, and slowly transitioned to a more subdued style. The incorporation of cut-out leather in bold colors amplified what would otherwise be monotone, black clothing. Though a little rebellious, the leather somehow managed to … Continue reading Nolcha Fashion Week: Angelys Balek

But, once I started researching different salons that could do the job, I was deterred because of the price. So here I sit with my lackluster hair, … Continue reading Get Your Hair Done for FREE
