Royal Opera House - Muscat


Gianni Quaranta, the Oscar winning Set Designer, puts a magic touch to this special production of the famous Opera Carmen Commissioned for this inaugural season of Royal Opera House Muscat. It is passionate, hilarious and witty!


"The Power of Love" - This premiere production by Legendary Franco Zeffirelli specially commissioned by Royal Opera House Muscat for its inaugural season brings to light the mesmerizing recital of Puccini's last Masterpiece "Turandot" with Placido Domingo conducting the orchestra of the Fondazione Arena di Verona.


The world famous Mariinsky Ballet, accompanied by the Mariinsky Theatre Symphony Orchestra conducted by Boris Gruzin, presents Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, a legend about a princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer's curse.

Chris Rene - Audition 1 - THE X FACTOR 2011



"A person who has been troubled at a young age by drugs and drinking problems and now he wants to start over and dot it right for his son" - source

I personally think he pulled a great performance & obviously the judges were blown away. Amazing talent, I must say.

Have you ever been so tired that you just want to sleep for a month? Well, that's how I'm feeling right now. College has started! So far so good al 7amdulila.. I'm loving my current modules & enjoying my classes (lets hope this keeps on going) despite the very long hours.

Here's a song I'm currently hooked with!


'With Ur Love' is the second song to be lifted from her upcoming as-yet-untitled debut album, which will be available on November 7.

I never thought I would have any of Cher Lloyd's songs on my list after listening to Swagger Jagger, but this is amazing. Its one of those songs where you start to hum the beat at random times without even noticing.

After 3 months of chillaxing, the countdown for college finally begins. Even though I'm not looking forward for the heck of a lot of tasks & assignments to come, but I will bid farewell to the reckless me & work my fingers to the bone this semester inshallah.

Wish me luck

NYFW: Nail Art for Spring 2012

Apparently Nail Art has made it's way down the runway for Spring 2012 in so many colors, shapes & patterns. Here are some pictures from backstage to the runways of the designs I loved the most:


~ CND did a very 80s Vans-inspired pink and blue checkerboard.



~ Pamela Love, Essie made an upside down V pattern that’s visually eye-catching.


~ At Jen Kao, CND did a creepy ombré using deep tones. It looks completely stunning. Use a top coat when the polishes are wet to get the blended look.



~ Ruffian's Brian Wolk and Claude Morais handpicked two unique shades to paint onto the press-on nails flashing a manicure of warm and cool colors.


~ Nonie Creme used Butter London's pink-nude shade called "Tea with the Queen" for a lingerie-inspired look.


CND's Candice Manacchio  from Joy Cioci created "lucite lace" nails, with their clear tips and hand-detailed lattice work.


 ~ Backstage at Odilon a MINX manicurist sports black and gold-spotted nails.

Spring 2012 Colors

Sketches of Spring 2012 looks from Peter Som, Rachel Roy, and VPL by Victoria Bartlett.

According to Pantone Fashion Color report for Spring 2012 the colors are going to be a splash of energetic & bright bunch.

“Consumers look to spring for renewed energy, optimism, and the promise of a brighter day,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, in a press statement. “They have learned how color can help them alter a mood, while providing the vitality and enthusiasm that enables them to experiment with new looks and color combinations.”

I love the variety of the colors.. It defiantly suits the coming season to create combinations of festive yet sophisticated colors. Personally looks like Honeysuckle is my new favorite to punch up with during the next season!


Enjoy xo
