Ready to Go: Light Layering


This whole week is gonna be outfit posts! I've got sooo many lagging & waiting in my draft box! Anywho, since I'm all about the art of layering this week, I thought I'd put up a look I wore last week when the weather was chilly but not too ridiculous (this was what I wore the day I got a kiss from Peter Andre-saw him lost in Dubai Mall & helped him out! I know I'm such a great samaritan helping people in need!) I love the color blue in every single shape, shade & form! So, when I got my scarf (a gift from my sister) I kinda just put the entire look together based on the colors on that one piece.
I've always wanted to do the double shirt look so when I got the opportunity (thanks to Bahrainirants' shirt) I kinda just went for it!
I tiered the layers so they don't look too bulky (the layers underneath were each shorter than the other until I got to the longest bit which was the chec shirt) when I've got them all on & I wanted to make sure that the heaviest layer was at the top (that would make my make shift jacket & when I took it off I've still got a more flattering layered outcome.

What I'm Wearing:
Chequered wool shirt by Gap: Bahrainirants has a TON of shirts that I'm absolutely in love with & wear almost constantly (to his dismay I know it bugs him sometimes but sharing is caring even though in our case he's the one doing all the sharing). The thing with this shirt is although its wool, it isn't super bulky which is why I was able to layer so much underneath it.
Denim Shirt by Reiss 1971 (worn underneath): I have an obsession with denim shirts because they go with everything & are thick enough to keep you warm during our summers when you're walking around the malls & freezing your fanny off! I like them also because they're the most dynamic item you can ever own & will go with almost anything in your wardrobe I guarantee it!
Grey Tank Top by Deus: I came across this brand while on our honeymoon. It's an Australian brand & most of their stuff including their store looked like it was mainly for bicyclists or at least cycle enthusiasts. Very boho & completely cool! The store itself looks super cool & has a cafe too!
Turquoise Jeans by Dr. Denim: Also a purchase during our honeymoon & I absolutely love, love, love them! I bought them in Singapore but have no idea what the shop was called so please forgive me. These are the most comfy pair of jeans I own & what's cool about them is they've got guy & girl lines  so they cater to both & if you like some of the denims from the men's section they might have the exact same ones but catered to women. Was that confusing? I hope not!
Shoes by Melissa: Another honeymoon purchase, from another super funky boutique on Seminyak Road & of course I can't for the life of me remember the name. But they had some of the coolest things ever! From accessories for women & men, to houseware, to tees, to bathing suits, even furniture. They seriously had everything all under one roof.
Scarf by Bimba & Lola: I'm going through my Native American phase so when my sister asked me what I wanted from Spain, I said anything with feathers & ethnic prints! So she got me more feather extensions for my hair & this gorgeous aztecy print scarf! I absolutely love it & scarves are vital during winter & for me even during summer (I switch to a lighter jersey when it's warm out) because it's the cover up that's got multiple uses, it'll keep you warm & brighten up an outfit.


xoxo for now my PFFers,

P.S. I'm off to Beirut to get all my bloody scars checked up on but I'll be back very very soon! I'll try to blog from there but if that doesn't happen stay tuned to next week! Wish me luck!
P.P.S. Video of the Day: Bahrainirants & I saw this posted up on my sister's facebook wall & I soooo had to share it with you! Isn't this THE cutest thing EVER??? I'm posting up the one that seriously cracked me up! There's a bunch of them there so click here, here, & here for the rest! ENJOY!


P.P.P.S. Song of the Day: Something's Got a Hold on Me by Etta James (Bahrainirants is a HUGE fan & this is one of his favorites so I just had to share! She also passed away a couple of days ago so I thought it would be only appropriate to commemorate her in this way. Her voice is pure magic & her outfit is super retro chic! Wish I could pull off so much mascara & eyeliner! Enjoy!)
