kuwait girls rock

Have you ever been in Kuwait? Well I've never been there, but recently, during a web surf, I stumbled over the images of this girl known as A.K.F. who mentiones "Fashion has no religion" -Pravin G. (How true is that??!) I thought her style was great and so inspirational! I'd like to share these cool looks with you my readers and I am anxiously waiting to hear your comments...




Thank you A.K.F. for sharing your style with us! <3

The Beauty of Bloggers

Edited by: Fajr of Stylish Thought

Once a month, I pour through the links that the amazing members of IFB submit. Typically, I sit late Wednesday night after a long day and read through the thoughtful, helpful, stylish and beautiful posts that you guys submit. It is in these moments that I am truly in awe of how talented and gracious this community is. Full of spirited bloggers that discuss everything from the latest neon trend to the body pressures of fashion blogging. We are a diverse and dynamic group, connected through our mutual love of style and tireless support and encouragement of one another.

This week’s links are a testament to the beauty of blogging. Through eloquent prose, enigmatic portraits and style lessons from a mother to her daughter, IFB is rich with love and of course great style.

new summer heigths in the city hurt

Even if you are not in the fashion business or particularly fashionable, there is not a chance in the world that you could have missed the trend in new heights of the womans shoes. And if you live in New York City, you have been lucky enough to have enjoyed the amusing sight of a woman trying to make her way, over deep dark pot holes, dusty gravel, block wide vent grids, good old gobble stone streets and what not, stylishly and seemingly without any distress, cross town in her brand new platforms!

Not that those shoes were not in style before in the 1980's and the early Nineties and even the 70's actually, before the American sneakers stole the show and designers like me proclaimed that sneakers are even to be worn with evening gowns. Of course platforms are not new, but they are definitely in style again, actually they are the only old school shoe that seem new at the moment.

You have not bought yourself a wedge shoe yet?! Get going and get some band aids with them too, as, unless you spend a half a fortune on a high end wedge sandal, you'll get scratched. No matter how stylish you look and how good you manage walking down the bumpy roads, you will get hurt, let me tell you.

I experience it myself every single day of this Summer 2011 so far.



Well, it 'aint so pretty now 'aint it? I am now longing for the days when the good old Air Nike sneaker comes back in style...
