Currently Craving… “Designed By Sara” T-Shirt
Fashion graphic tees seem to be the “in” thing to be making in the Middle East. Back in June, I wrote a post about the Qatari fashion brand √FML², whose designs are sold in Dubai’s S*uce Boutique, along with Fyunka tote bags, created by Jeddah-based graphic illustrator Alaa Balkhy. Cute, bold and practical, the bags…

Currently Craving: Cambridge Satchel – Now Available in Dubai!
I may be extremely late to jump on the Cambridge Satchel blogger bandwagon, but for a while I’ve had my eye set on these neon bags, not fully convinced that I`d use them more than just once or twice. Also, the fact that I’d have to order one online (www.Asos.com) and wait a few weeks…

Currently Craving: Bing Bang Evil Eye Fob Necklace
I’ve always had somewhat of an obsession for “evil eye”- embellished accessories. In the East especially, the blue “evil eye” charm has become a popular image icon, and is often found on delicate bracelets, necklaces and rings.

Currently Craving: Kat Graham’s Extremely Edgy Clutch & Blazer
On Thursday, The Vampire Diaries actress Kat Graham attended an event hosted by Pharrell Williams and although I’m not a fan of her overall look, some of the pieces from her gold-embellished monochrome outfit are to die for, particularly the black and white blazer by Haleh Nematzadeh and uniquely shaped black clutch with a double-sided…

Currently Craving: T-Shirt by √FML²
I’ve had my eye on Qatar-based T-Shirt brand √FML² for a while now, but it seems that every time I fall in love with one of their designs, they sell out! The funky and innovative brand produces casual T-shirts displaying graphics of fashion icons such as Karl Lagerfeld, as well as staple high fashion pieces…

Currently Craving: Paper Eyelashes
Chinese paper brand Paperself came out with these intricate false eyelashes over a year ago, and I’m surprised that they haven’t become a big beauty hit with celebrities. Paperself eyelashes are selling for US$15 online at Asos.com and in Dubai, paper eyelashes are available for purchase in six different designs at Bullets & Butterflies…
