Ladies and Gents, she is Pomy, a Packaging Designer , she is stylish, chic, original with all that classy carefree Cancer Girl? I could not resist but to ask her to be a part of my Style Stalking section, and she said YES !

Here come her looks for the  5 working days: enjoy :

M.A.C Store Tunis: 5 years déjà

Dear Dolls and Gents !

Here i am today to talk to you about the small event i attended with the girls at the M.A.C Stores in Tunis, avenue Habib Bourghiba.
the event was the M.A.C Store 5th  anniversary in Tunis.   Amira , Jess   and myself ,  met there for the event, jess and I forgot our cameras (how cool is that ? :D ) so we had to use our phones (which explains the crappy quality of the pics ).

Style Stalking: Hanen

To my lovely Dolls and Gents !

Hoping this post finds you all well! Autumn is finally here, and it feels a bit chilly and warm at once, and of course im LOVING this weather, LOVE LOVE LOVE !! what about you dolls, are you more of a summer gal or a winter gal like myself?

Anyhow, if you have been checking out my blog, you would know that I talked about the SS project.
And here I am again to introduce to you, Dolls, the SS Project, which stands for Style Stalking. I've seen this Style Stalking section in many of the fashion blogs ( it just has different names) in Tala Samman's My Fash Diary  it's called "7 days in the style of" , in Lama's Life W Moda   it's "Style à la" Life W Moda , I dont recall them all, but those are the ones i'm familiar with, i LOVED the idea of sharing other people's styles and fashion visions with my readers, to make them see another side of the hot stylish pretty tunisians ( the dolls but the gents too :p ).So I decided to.....STALK them :D nah it's not that creepy, let me rephrase :p I wanted to Stalk their Style throughout the week to give you  my dear readers, subscribers and potential subscribers an idea of how does the tunisian dress in the everyday life, whether it's for work, school or night outs!  

Get Ready with ❤ Safa ❤

Dolls and Gents, i missed you :)

Once Upon A Time... Sevda

                                           

And Im having one of those moments, those moments when i feel like i'm not me, in a very schizophrenic way.

This song, these lines, this very note....I could swear I heard them before

I could swear I cried over them once.

I could swear I lost someone, and this very song was playing in some dark coffee shop on the corner of the main street.

I could swear it was sunset, traffic was crazy, I was lost somewhere with my thoughts racing to catch my messy mind.

My Red Lips makeup signature !

Hi Dolls and Gents!
Today I am going to show you the video that inspired my perfect Pin-Up makeup that I did on my cousin's engagement party!

and this is the video, it's by Liz and she is such a talented makeup youtuber, I liked HER video because her eyes are asian, a bit like mine, and we all know that no matter how much eye makeup you put on, when u open your eyes or smile a bit, you see nothing of it ! so she helped me do something that would look good on eyes open/closed ;) thank you liiiiiiiz ^^

and I came up with this look :

what do you think, did I pulled it off or do I need some more work, knowing that my camera always messes up the real looking makeup!
and FYI this is the very first time I use false lashes (seperate ones) and I thought they looked GREAT and natural !

these are some more pictures of my makeup and outfit :

yep had to do the funny face :D

me with the cousins :) 

These are the shoes i wore

Hope you'll like this post, pictures aren't very clear and don't show the true look of my makeup. 

Stay Original,

Products I used on the Dum-Pukht Dinner

As I am faithful to you dear Dolls and Gents here comes the post where I show you the products I used to realize the fresh dewy makeup I had on the Dum-Pukht dinner night out.

here is a list of the products:

Foundation: 

I used this refreshing cream as a base for my foundation, it smells great and makes my face feel fresh and smooth.

Why do bad things happen to good girls ?

 I have always considered myself to be a good girl, I think that it is how the world sees me , starting from my family, going all the way to my friends and my entourage. But what is a good girl ? and the most important question would rather be: Why do bad things happen to good girls ?

Namaste in Dum-Pukht

Last week, My friend  Nouha, my sister Safa and I, went out for dinner in my fav restaurent in the Northern region of tunis called Lac 2, it's Indian and it's Fab !  Dum Pukht is the name of the restaurent, click here   if you want to know its placement.

The Fash Part:

For this look i wore a blue polka dotted dress and white platform sandals, Safa wore a short silky purple and flowery dress with knee length black leggings and hot pink flats, as for my BF Nouha, she was wearing a white blouse broidered with lovely flowers, dark tight jeans and white sandals.

My Makeup: 

I tried a blue/lavender eyeshadow on a light lid (using eye primer+ light shade of a foundation stick) and a black winged eyeliner using my gel pot. for my Skin, I tried to have a dewy look working with Essence matt oil free foundation and its powder with an emphasis on the highlighter and pink shimmery blush. More pics of what  the products that I used coming in another post.

here are some pictures of our yummy dinner !

So I shall start with my make up wish list WARNING : this might be a pretty long one :p

The Friday Outfit

Enough suspense , here is yesterday's outfit .
How to describe this outfit? It's a Polka dots blouse that i bought from Boutique F, simple jeans, Coral  wedges and a head bandate. The Clutch wasnt very appropriate dark blue wasnt THE color for the outfit i have to admit , I wasnt very inspired to be honest. But well the outfit turned out not as bad as I thought it would be :)
Here are the pictures:

Friday outfit Preview

Hi Dolls and Gents!
