absolutely LOVE Faika Karim’s latest

pallet of red, gold and black coupled
with well-tailored pieces is a feast for the
eyes. This is definitely evening glamour at
its best.

Comeback:
The Bolero
A
n iconic fashion staple of the
1950’s, the bolero is an elegant
sophisticated cropped tailored
jacket that is perfect for adding
an element of luxurious glamour to any
outfit. Making a comeback, the bolero
was seen on the ramp of Hina Butt
and Hajra Hayat at the Telenor Bridal
Couture week, proving that this is going
to be a huge trend in 2015. If you want
to update your wardrobe, a bolero
will definitely make you look a true
fashionista.
Boleros are all over the high street this
season. Check
out these boleros
on these from
Debenhams
and Zizi for
inspiration.

Trend alert:
The Short
Kameez
is Back!
F
or a few years now we have seen
longer length outfits dominating
the catwalks and the collections
of some of the most influential
designers. Well not anymore, the short
kameez is making a comeback and will
definitely be taking over 2015. At the
Dolmen Fashion Show held earlier this
month in Karachi, designers Agha Noor
and Cross Stitch showcased the short
kameez as the trend of 2015. So hitch
up those hemlines and keep it short this
year!

Fashion Forecast:
Spring Style
W
hilst it may only seem like
the middle of winter, true
fashionistas know that
spring is just around the corner.
Make sure you are equipped for
the forthcoming new season styles
by taking inspiration from the
Sawaan Shoot featuring the Pink
Tree Company. Think pastel hues
contrasted with bold brights, long
floaty kameeza, loose plaits and
spring flowers. Incorporate these
elements into your wardrobe and
you will be on trend!

Get the Look: Blue Eyeliner
B
lue Eyeliner is a key trend for spring and
is seen as a great alternative to black.
Especially when used under the eyes,
blue eyeliner really opens them up and adds a fun,
modern dimension to your usual make up routine.
To create this look I used the following products:
Skin: MAC Studio Conceal and Correct – this duo
provides great coverage and gets your skin camera
ready. If you want to get that photo finish this is
your key product.
Eyes: Bobbi Brown Ink Eyeliner - With an
improved formula and felt tip, this easy to use
pen-style liner delivers the blackest black, perfectevery-time, line.
Under Eyes: Smashbox Always Sharp Waterproof
3D Eyeliner – Neptune is the shade I used when
creating this look. It is a fabulous midnight blue
that can be smudged and built up to create the
desired look.
The Perfect
Valentines Gift:
NEW Clinique
Aromatics
in White
I
love Clinique Aromatics and am super excited
about this new perfume.
This is a scent specifically
created for the woman that
seeks a signature scent
to boldly set
her apart.
Aromatics
in White is
a confident
interplay of
serene woods,
transparent
petals and
warm amber
notes. It is
my ultimate
Valentines
gift recommendation
and is definitely on my
wish list.
Available exclusively from
Selfridges
and Clinique.
