As a Pakistani, tea is an essential part of our day to day. We have it several times a day, and simply cannot live without it. But why not take tea time and make it into something fun and special? I was featured on ANOKHI TV, outlining the etiquette, necessities and trends of a successful South Asian styled tea party! Make sure to check the interview out here:

As far back as I can remember, being a South Asian girl growing up in a western society – I have always been fascinated by our cultural adornments.(more…)

Karl Lagerfeld, influenced by Indian customs and rituals revealed an assembly earlier this year which dawned a new head in western fashion. Chanel exhibited a transformation to its pre autumn and fall collection as it displayed pieces inspired by Ranis and maharajas! Taking our very own tradition of high tea and lavish meals, the greatest aspect of the function was definitely the rich materials, refined accessories and the sophisticated styling. (more…) -
Okay so I just got back from a month long vacation to Pakistan. Going there is always fun as it’s exciting to see what trends and styles are currently relevant. Pakistani fashion is extremely fast paced, creative and so rich in colour and texture. What I didn’t expect was how up to date it was with the wonderful world of western style! Before leaving, I invested in some really great onesies as I find them tremendously comfortable to wear, effortless and trendy at the same time. Walking into a mall in Pakistan, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they were in style there as well!
One thing I love about fusion fashion is how unique it is. I absolutely adore the enrichment of the look through cultural influence. Eastern jumpsuits are so versatile that you can wear them out to any type of function. It can be displayed anywhere from a wedding to a night out with the girls for some cocktails! So vivid in colour and design, these gorgeous pieces are a must have.

Even though it may not feel like it – Spring is a little over a month away. With the recent fashion weeks and new collections that have been displayed, there are several trends that we have seen that are definitely new and totally chic. These statements included crop tops, colours and embellished details. But what else can we expect to see in the upcoming season? Here’s what…
I’m all for modest fashion so the fact that long skirts are back makes me super happy. There can’t be anything more ladylike than these voluminous bottoms. Coupling it with a crop top, basic tee or a button down sweater is sheer perfection. These tea length kilts are vastly flattering and are excellent for any body shape.
