Words simply do not do justice to this piece of art.

Art , plus you can see what time it is , 2n1 on your wrist!

Luxurious night bird peers back at you with deep purple jewel-set eyes, making for an ultra-lavish look.

The last watch is not of my preference though.

Will start at $215000.

Fierce.

Loving the spiky jewelry trend and can't wait to get my 'claws' on one of  these.

Muscat , Oman is..

..one of the most surreal places I have ever visited. The incredible landscaping, the rocky hills surrounded by blue water is just magnificent. The people are as beautiful at heart as the surroundings.

Pity I was on a business trip and had not enough time to do good sightseeing.

Please forgive the poor quality of photos I blame myself for not taking my camera (forgot my tooth brush too) instead I was left using my blackberry's worst camera ever.. I was utterly annoyed but less is still better than none. Oman is definitely on our list for upcoming vacations and how can we forget Zighy!

The yacht is the Sultan's and it's decked at the old port for everyone to see..
First and last photos are the views from hotel room.




On a different note , what I'm reading:
One Hundred Years of Solitude,by Gabriel García Márquez
I'd love to  hear your reviews.

give the gal a happily ever after will ya!

one of my favorite clips of her , it's just soo happy and full of life





this is her latest clip , same actor
what a jerk!

Dreaming of Zighy

Sigh.. I'm simply out of words,, speaking of words sounds funny 'Zighy' but would never associate it with such scenes.. just breathtaking..

Is it just me or do these seem out of this world!

And so close to Dubai!! The over built over marketed over everything Dubai!

from their site:

Six Senses Hideaway Zighy Bay is located on the northern Musandam Peninsula in the Sultanate of Oman. Zighy Bay is located 120 kilometres, or 90-minutes drive from Dubai International Airport, which is the gateway city to Six Senses Hideaway Zighy Bay. The setting of the indigenous village style accommodations and private marina is dramatic, with mountains on one side and a 1.6-kilometer sandy beach at Zighy Bay, on the other.

dreaming of Zighy...

Enjoy your weekend!!

what I wear during..

..Ramadan nights








The violet leopard Mitzy mulberry clutch I fell in love with in Dubai , but preferred to get the original leopard print , it's so versatile and goes from day with jeans and a Tee to night with a LBD. I don't need to mention that leopard print is THE trend for fall/winter season, well there I did :)





I wore the Mitzy the other night with a bright pink Kaftan very close to this and accessorized it with some gold bangles and earrings..

love dressing up in Ramadan , what better way to unlock the BOHO in you..

The Road

I read The Road while on my vacation to Istanbul.
For anyone of you who have read the book you know how melancholy it is .. Well reading it while sipping sugar- free lemonada and enjoying the sounds of the crushing Marmara waves just felt like quite a contradiction to the heartbreaking plot , being in total bliss I decided got me to better absorb the raw emotions surrounding it. Ironic.

Earlier this summer I organized a book club and August book would be our second ! I think I would have never picked the book for a vacation read but being in the book club votes fell upon it for August. I'm happy that all members are taking it seriously and reading so how can I not!!!. I did enjoy it and came to count my blessings while getting some color.
My meeting with my book buddies is tomorrow, can't wait to discuss it!

Pure Art

I've always loved the flowing lines and arched strokes of Arabic script. The pure complexity of it is amazing, and sometimes they're so beautiful and freeflowing that it's a marvel that it's actually meant to be read. I often collect quotes so artistically written in , here are some favorites..

Inner strength.


Always trust yourself.

Dine in Absolute Perfection

During our last trip to Istanbul my husband and I dined at these 3 restaurants that completely takes you to cloud nine.. the food, the scenery and service is just impeccable.

Reina:
Beautiful views of the Bosphorus , a range of five restaurants to choose from.
We dined at Dragon (chinese restaurant) one of the best in Istanbul.
Best time to go is before sunset so you get to experience views both day and night. I loved it at dusk truely surreal.

Çırağan Palace Kempinski Hotel :
Originally an Ottoman imperial palace, its architectural beauty and luxury just blows you away.
We enjoyed Afternoon Tea Buffet from 15:00 to 19:00 at Gazebo right on the Bosphorus.

360 istanbul:
Amazing 360 landscaping views of old Istanbul and Marmara Sea, serving Turkish dishes with a modern spin. Lunch would be a good choice to experience the panoramic views this place has to offer. Chocolate dessert is 2die4!!
