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

Little Joys

"Enjoy the little things, for one day you make look back & realize they were the big things."

Simple pleasures throughout the day can be far more gratifying than anyone can imagine. When you connect the dots between all these little joys, life seems fuller and more satisfying.

Here are a few of my little joys that fill me with bliss:

- Getting an unexpected gift. A perfume, earrings, flowers or even my favorite chocolate bar. It could be anything no matter how simple it is. It's the thought that counts the most.

- Watching a movie & suddenly a song I know plays in the movie's soundtrack. Something about it never fails to make me smile!

- The smell of bukhoor every time I enter the house. Utterly relaxing & it boosts positive energy.

- Going through my photography & some old albums remembering good times & memories. It's been a while since I last had the time to use my camera & I really miss it.

- Finding unexpected money in my wallet or jeans pocket!

- The feeling I get after finishing a book with a good story that got me hooked for days. I sometimes tend to read the last few pages as slow as possible just to hold on to that feeling for a bit longer.

.. & I can go on forever! The list is endless when you come to think about it, because the joys in life are in the unimportant details that we often belittle.

Skyscraper - Demi Lovato ♪

One of my favorite acoustic covers by Boyce Avenue & Megan Nicole.

Skyscraper is defiantly a powerful comeback from the Disney starlet Demi Lovato with an empowering message to the listeners along with her stunning vocals.

One blow from caving in ..

I wish there was no need to know which bridge to cross & which to burn.

I wish it was easier to trust your own heart & mind.. & just live.

I wish there was no pain, no worry.

I wish life was simple.

Get into your life ~

"I have grown to love the unexpected, for in it is the miraculous.. Here is where we are shown events that create our lives to be more enjoyable, more loving, more adventurous than anything we ever could have planned.

Why do we think we know when we let go & trust, the mundane of life becomes the profound? Leave your concepts at the door of fate.. Open your arms.. Today, is a good day"

It might be easier to stay the same, but keep in mind that there's much more in life than just going through the motions. There's much more in life that yet needs to be seen.

Reminiscence ~

Yesterday was a lovely Tuesday. One of the best times I spent with mom & my 3 beloved aunties that brought back many beautiful memories.

I remember how two years back having a day with my aunties & cousins was an essential, whether it was after school or during weekends. It was almost impossible for me to live without meeting my cousins less than twice a week, if not more. But sadly somehow that routine had to change & someone always had to miss the gathering when we started G12. I clearly remember it being a very busy year for everyone in the family.

I miss those days.. We surely do need more of them.

I want to appreciate the times when moments are made into memories. I know that wherever life takes me, these moments will always follow. They remind me of what's truly important. It's not just life, but living, & all the points in between.
