A Piece 

Found this beauty this morning on my instagram (EmergEast) and felt it was worthy to share. Since I have been absent from my blog, I decided why not do simple spreads whenever I could until I can give this blog my time again.

It has been hectic as going back to school after you turn thirty is pretty different than when you go to school right away. It is a different form of decision and will, priorities change and the will to aim high changes.

This on the other hand is a photograph from my weekend of Persian Food that I was absolutely brushed away by their sincerity in giving love and art to their plates. A Saffron Chicken dish sparkled with dried petals, grated vegetables for garnish, colorful spices and yogurt, not to forget some red-hot chilli pepper and parsley. indulge.

And although it was a gloomy weekend, it managed to still be colorful and beautiful.

Anyway have a colorful week.

It becomes a habit, so here I am, back to writing…

I wanted to write on my blog, ever since I started my new life transition,

Well, now, we are almost over with the year 2016, and we are almost starting a new year,

It has been three months I suppose, since I stopped writing, actually, to be precise, since I stopped blogging.

I have visited this blog of mine several times, have written several posts, but I saved them on draft, I could not share them, although I never really think twice before publishing,

But I guess everything new is different, and everything different is an alien, “at first”. You can’t tell if it is good from bad, if you are enjoying it or not, if you are under stress or not, it is a notion, you are unfamiliar with. So, I dropped it.

But it has been few days, since I have had that blog tab open, I missed it, blogging, I have been taking photographs of new adventures, although even those were a little foggy, but I still documented them for my own self mater.

Today, I tried to wake up at 6:15am, but it was gloomy outside in London, foggy, it was dark, so I stayed in bed for another hour, 7:15am, I could no longer sleep, I can now feel a little bit of dawn, under my bed sheets I remained, until i slowly rose up, and as I looked between my window shutter, I noticed some pink dust, surprised, I woke up, quickly opened my window shutter, and the shades and sparks of sunrise appeared before my window. In the past two and a half months, that I have been living in this room, I, have never noticed the sunrise effect upon the sky, and for the first time in London, I have finally surrendered myself to life, to its miracles.

I have been trying, not that I have been too rigid, but I have been trying to keep that window open, that shade of life, that full of surprising notions, but everything was new. School, City, Alone, Books, Life, it all had new colors. I had to study, is all I thought about, even while on breaks, even while eating, while sleeping, even when I take the day off, “I have to study” keeps uttering inside my head, echoing throughout my body, it is like my life flipped 360 degrees to finally take the books into my arms a little more serious than just read. I had to learn. Had, because I am here for my masters.

But life never fails me, I kept looking for a way to open that window, and keep it open, have it on some kind of a foot, where it does not shut by the wind, I want my window of surprises open at all times. I have had many learnings and I want to share them, I want to keep them, record them, I more like, want to reflect on them, and what better than the art of writing?

Can’t live without beautiful print fabrics… From the London Fashion Week SS 2015

We will be seeing lots and lots of prints on fabric season after season. In my favorite looks, I have added the short dresses along with all the beautiful prints that were showcased during the London Fashion Week of the upcoming spring summer 2015. All pictures belong to http://www.style.com

The pants you choose to wear, can say just a little enough about you..

Yes pants are powerful, they give you confidence and freedom. They speak out for you sometimes, they say just a little enough about your personality. The color you choose, the cut, the length, the fabric, the style, the top matched with it and most importantly the way you carry it and sit with it. Yes I believe; pants, are powerful. Here are my favorite pants from the London Fashion Week upcoming spring summer 2015.

Short, long; How do you feel about asymmetric dresses ? What about sheer fabric ?

If you can’t decide then here is a solution, short or long? Why not both at the very same time… Be different, from time to time we need change. So there you go even with your wardrobe you can be creative. There is something about length in the upcoming spring summer 2015 so watch out and don’t keep looking for the usual, go for what is unusual and enjoy the moment. Notice the use of mixed fabrics, where the sheer layers of chiffon or organza just fall beneath the outfit with transparency representing freedom.

I am loving the… Long dresses vs. long vests over short dresses.

If you haven’t seen it, then here are some of the looks that shout out for lots and lots of fabric, the longer the better, the more it will make you stand out and the more you will look vibrant. I am in love with the looks, they are super elegant, fresh and neutral. Most colors are very serene, pure and just tonic. What do you think?

There is something elegant about knee length dresses… and heels are almost out of trend

It might be my favorite or my second favorite to have few dresses and skirts that are about knee-length or slightly around the knee, it just adds an edge to your body, a tip-top elegance. I also think that it doesn’t suit just anyone, you sort of need to have long legs, or wear high heels with them. But you might actually notice this season; high heels are almost out! Flats and casual shoe-wear are designed to be prepped and suitable for formal wear and evening dresses. Well I once was a high heel fanatic today all i care about is being able to run around without having to worry about breaking my heels.

Here are my favorite looks from London Fashion Week spring summer 2015…. knee length way to go.

Ankle length is sexy… What do you think?

London fashion week swept us by with beautiful sheer collections that covered length from mini, to ankle, knee, and long. Ankle length pants, dresses, skirts, vests are all trending, and are smart casual and beautiful. You don’t need to hide your shoes anymore, instead you can wear those ankle length bottoms and show off your feet and shoe-wear.

Here are my favorite looks from the LFW spring summer 2015…
