As some of you may know yesterday was Eid(al-adha). It was a different Eid to the one in August as this one was the festival of sacrifice  The story of this is quite interesting so you can do some research if you want. Anyway this is just a small post showing you how i looked on the day. I wore a dress with lace top and chiffon skirt which was short at the front and long at the back. I wore this with indian styled trousers and a tie-dyed looking headscarf. My make up this time was quite simple just a bit of sparkly eye shadow, fake eyelashes, lipstick and a hint of blusher. I like/love a bit of sparkle to i wore my long diamond earrings that i got for my birthday with a huge sparkly blue broach. As you can see i did some henna for the day which came out really nice. This was a small Eid so all i got was £25 and some Disney pajamas which are dead cute. Unfortunately i didn't get to wear my nice heels because it was bitter cold as you who live in England know so it was socks and my less nicer pair of heels. Overall it was a quite but nice Eid.
I was going to say did you do anything over the weekend but then i remembered Eid was on a Friday.
Enjoy your school break

Autumn/Winter 2012 - Gothic

Gothic by shorty-zainab featuring filigree rings

Another big trend this autumn/winter is gothic. It can be seen on the catwalk this season with the black, reds, lace and leather. There are loads of designers looking at gothic this season such as prada, John rocha and versace. I think a good styled up outfit could look stunning especially if you mix the baroque style into it. Theres something about the skirt that i just love, the lace and cut of it seems quite girly and the snipped sections give it that rough look. If you like anything from this outfit click the smaller icons below.
So what do you think of this trend?

Autumn/Winter Trend - Jumpers

Jumpers by shorty-zainab featuring super skinny jeans

Get buying those big warm jumpers for when it gets cold. This jumper with the mustache print is just so cute and quirky. The wedged heel will keep you looking fabulous as well as keep those toes warm. Minimal jewellery just to finally complete the outfit. 

Nazila Nails

Today i was in superdrugs and saw these crazy nails. If you love 3d and blingy nails then keep reading. I came home and searched it up and found it. They're not currently on the superdrugs website but they have they're own website. After this post you might want to go and check it out. The cheapest they have is £9.99 and the most expensive is £34.99. The price of them is quite good compared to sets I've seen online. I sort of love them but find them a bit much but that's just me. I guess for a big event they will be, well interesting. What you could do is buy a set and then just use one of each hand so its not to eccentric. You get 24 in a pack and you get the sticky tabs to stick them down. The site claims that you can re-use them up to four times but i guess that depends on what you do with them on. The delivery is free so if you want to order them online that's good. I suggest next time you go into superdrugs to check them out as i think there are different designs. The website has other bits and bobs like nail polish and charms so you can check them out/ I think that's it really if you want more designs then see the website http://www.nazilaloveglamour.com/products.asp#0

So whats your opinion on them?

New Creation - Bracelet Ring

I was going to post this tomorrow but i got so excited that i had to do it now. As you can see I've made a ring bracelet which i am so proud of. I've never made one of these before so it took me a while to get all the bits together. Initially i bought the chain to put my polymer clay charms on (oh that reminds me i have new charms to show you) but then i came up with this idea and did it. Technically speaking it's just un-linking the chain and then putting it back together. The chain is quite pretty as it is 2 sizes of rings/hoops as you can see. The pictures don't exactly show you how i made it but i'm sure you get the gist of it. Added to the chain is swarovski crystals which i love as they sparkle like crazy, especially in the light. I already have this style of bracelet and alot of people always tell me how much they love it so its going to make me happy when i wear this and tell them that i made it. Its really simple yet really stunning. I have a couple other ideas surrounding this piece which i think will look nice. I think its clear to say i'll be buying more chain next time i'm out.

So what do you think of it? Are you into jewellery making?

Enjoy the rest of your evening 

Autumn Winter Trend - Baroque

A big trend this season is baroque which I love. Dolce and gabanna did a collection(A/W 2012) on baroque and it was stunning. The print itself is beautiful with the floral shapes but when its on a garment is even more lovely. The trending colur for this stlye is black and gold which is very glamorous and expensive looking. The shops should be filling its shelves with this style so go and but this stunning trend. This pattern is very glamorous so glam is how you must wear it. With this style up i found this stunnng peplum top from motelrocks.com and paired it with disco pants and a lovely pair of pink platform heels. The accesories match this really nice colour. A really beautiful and pretty look.

Autumn/ Winter top trends

Military, Gothic, Jumpers and Baroque. 

The trends are going to be big this season so you better get ready for the winter fashion. Baroque is my favourite pattern with the bold and beautiful shapes. Baroque is coming out in alot of black and gold which is very glamorous. This trend is going to be fabulous if it naything like Dolce and Gabbana's fall 2012 collection which is absolutely stunning. The Gothic trend is a mix of lace, sheer fabrics and leather. Being inspired by designers such as Versace, Cavalli, Prada and loads more.And military is just really cool styling it up several ways, not just the slouchy loose khaki bottoms.The big jumpers are back as it starts to get chilly, well i say start it started ages ago well that's England for you. I've been looking around and found some stuff that you might like. So lets get started.
This post is going to be just about Military and where you can get the new trends.

Skinny leg pants

River Island black mid calf boots

I've put an outfit together with pieces that you can find on the high street, with well known brands like topshop and river island. This look is very sexy military with the skinny jeans and loose top. The heels are absolutely gorgeous. Teaming the top with a black bodycon dress will add a bit more feminine to the military look. omg i forgot the accessories but with this look i would go with the gold pieces. With this trend you can add your spikes which a lot of people are loving at the moment.
Hope you like this look, so what do you think of the military trend?

What im loving on MotelRocks.com

I haven't been in the blogging spirit for the last couple of weeks but i have a feeling once i do this post loads of ideas will come flooding at me. So this post i'm just going to do a couple of items i love from the online fashion store motelrocks.com .

Dress number 1, I love anything sparkly so straight away this got my attention. I love this nude colour and works well on alot of people. Because this dress is short and bodycon having the long sleeves gives of that sexy/glamorous look. It has a low V exposed back which adds to that glamorous feel. This dress is great for any night out especially with a pair of platform heels and maybe a big, black statement necklace if your feeling really fun. This dress comes in black,grey and a stunning peacock green. This dress comes in at £58 which i think is an alright price for such a lovely dress.

This dress is stunning mixing paisley and lace. One this that i love about this dress is that you have the black under lining dress and then a white lace dress on top which makes it bold and stand out. Its a really sweet shape with it being a slightly fitted shift dress. This dress reminds me of the Indian style garments and would look a bit nicer with a few sparkly beads. Having the black under neath means you can really appreciate the design of the paisley lace. This needs no more than a pair of heels or boots. This dress is slightly cheaper and comes in at £48.00

Now moving onto jeans, these pair are just rocking. These jeans are high waisted and skinny fitting tucking you in all the right places. I love the black and white colour scheme, very minimalism  These printed jeans do all the talking so i would pair with a black top, leather jacket and a pair of killer boots. These bad boys come in at £48.00, a bit pricey but looks amazing.

This peplum top is simple yet really lovely. You can wear this top several ways; you could pair it with a bodycon skirt, skinny jeans a maxi skirt or even a cute pair of jeans. This top gives you that little bit of shape with the frilled bottom detailing. If you want that hourglass figure then this styled top is definitely for you. Its such a pretty looking top to. The peppermint green colour is stunning and you can work several other colours. You can go simple or statement with this top depending on how your feeling. This top comes in at £28.00 which is pretty good seeing as you can style it up in so many ways.
