Sweater Weather Tag

Ciao Bella..

So I have been seeing this tag around the internet and thought that it’s safe to pass this weather as “Sweater Weather”.

No long introduction here, so let’s get right into it.

1-   Favorite Fall candle.

Ok, so I am I candle hoarder, yes I love candles and yes I have way to many, and I love walking into Bath&Body works and stepping out with 5+ candles, and yes I do have candles for every season!! So right now the candle that I am burning is Marshmallow Fireside, it smells so warm and fallish I just love it, I can’t smell it and not smile.

2-   Coffee, tea or hot chocolate?

Without a doubt tea, you guys I am a total tea person, I do not enjoy coffee, maybe I used to at one phase of my life but I have come to learn that I do not like it, give me a cuppa and I am god to go, right now I am loving Cinnamon Chia latte.

3-   Favorite Fall Memory.

Hmmm that’s a hard one, since we do not have fall where I live, it’s either summer or winter and we get the latter for maybe just two months, but I think my favorite fall memory goes was back to when I was living in Scotland, just walking out in the streets, out and about shopping you can feel and see how the season is changing everything around it, it’s beautiful.

4-   What Fall trend are you loving? Winged eyeliner or dark lips?

First of all I rock winged eyeliner daily, I do not like my eyeliner any other way, I used to wear it winged even before it was cool and everyone would go like why do you have a triangle on your eye, HELLO!! Anyway I love both, as soon as October hit I brought my dark shade out of hibernation.

5-   Favorite Fall Fragrance.

I’d day Hermes’s Marvelous is My go to fragrance.

6-   Favorite Fall Food.

Pumpkin Soup, I LOVE pumpkin soup!! Oh and popcorn.

7-   What is Autumn weather like where you live?

Well as I mentioned we do not have autumn, just a bit of winter ad a whole lot of summer, but maybe we can call the transitional week or so autumn? If so it’s hot during the day and chilly at night.

8-   Most Worn sweater.

Well my favorite go to sweater that I love and adore is one I got from a small boutique in turkey; I love how huge it is yet so stylish.

9-   Must Have Nail polish.

I am berry berry berry inlove with dark berry shades, is it the obvious? I just love how awesome they look during cold weather, my go to berry shade fro now is Coco by Julep. P.S follow me on Instagram to see my #NailsOfTheDay

10-  Boots or UGGS.

BOOTS!!! I love boots, they are most amazing thing that can happen during colder weather, sure UGGS are like marshmallows on your feet and are so comfy but I’d go with boots.

11-  Skinny jeans or leggings.

LEGGINGS, they are comfy, cotton and come in various colors!!

12-  Favorite Fall song.

Are there fall songs?? Hmmm I have no idea but the current song I am loving is Drive by Miley Cyrus. LOVE HER ALBUM!! Oh and I love listening to acoustic songs during fall.

13-  Is Toffee Nut worth the hype?

Not a coffee person, but the times I did try it wasn’t really my thang, but what I do hate about it is how the baristas try to make you buy it!! GET OF MY BACK AND GIVE ME MY TEA LATTE WOMAN!!!

14-  Favorite Fall TV show.

Oh god!! My weakness!! I watch over 50 shows so yeah. I aint choosing no favorite right now but I’ll just say that CW and ABC are blowing the roof off the TV, well if the TV had a roof, their shows are all amazing at the moment!!

15-  Favorite Fall color.

Oxblood, Burgundy, Maroon whatever you like to call it. I’m loving that color right now!

16-  Your #1 favorite thing about fall.

Camping out in the Desert, I look forward to it every year, my favorite thing ever!

And i tag all the Bloggers, and YOU, comment and tell me your favorites.

Let’s Salsa

Good day gorgeous readers,

No we are not here to talk about food, and no we are not learning to dance, im talking about a different type of Salsa, the brand..

A couple of weeks ago I was invited by the ever so sweet Nasreen to an event hosted by The Salsa store in City Center Bahrain to get a glimpse of their new collection and to get fitted with the perfect fit jeans.

I think before this time I have been to salsa only once since it opened in City Center, I have this thing about being attracted to color and I guess coz it’s a bit dark I never thought of entering, oh boy was I missing out.

From now on let me just say I WILL NOT JUDGE A STORE BY IT’S COLOR

The place was beautifully set inside and the staff were super friendly and funny, I met with my fellow bloggers while waiting our turn to get fitted by Ekram Aabed who is the Salsa Shop Manager, she was super friendly and gave measured me from hip to shoulders, i tried on a bunch of jeans that were a perfect fit for me until I decided on one of them.

We were lead to sit and enjoy the presentation about the new collection, first of all let me tell you this, I do not like presentations but this one was super fun and filled with fashion bits and bobs so I surly enjoyed it and Ekram’s presentation skills were mad awesome she had us engaging with her all the time, she presented us with the different body shapes (The Grape (Hourglass), The Banana (Straight), The Pear (Wide Hips), The Apple (wide Middle), and The Strawberry (Wide Shoulders)).

Once the presentation concluded we had time to take group photos and chat some more. At the end of the night we got to take our perfect fit jeans home with us. *YAAY*

This week I decided to finally take those said jeans out for a spin, once I put them on I realized something!!

"SALSA JEANS ARE MAGIC"

They have moved up to be by far my favorite jeans I own, whether dressed up or dressed down they look amazing, they truly do work like the way mentioned in the presentation, pure magic, I’ve been wearing them almost everyday now.

So if you are in need of a pair of new jeans, go head straight to salsa and get fitted, trust me they are totally worth it, they have a mind-blowing collection ranging within the Push-In, Shape-Up, Hope and Sculpture!!

Oh and if you happen to go tell them Shoug sent you <3.

I’ll leave you now with the pictures.

Salsa is located on level 1 in Bahrain City Center.

These are a few of my favorite things: October

Heloo my lovelies

Well we are well into November- can you believe it just one more month till the new year and then January <3 anyway back to the subject at hand, with the supposed transition from summer to fall or winter or whatever is this weather we are dealing with in our beautiful island I've tried some new products that I absolutely fell in love with and others that I still can’t fall out of love with.

So without rambling on let’s just get into this post.

 *Monthly Favorites Dance*

First let’s talk about the beauty favorites,

NYX liquid eyeliner

Oh my god can this be any perfect!! It has the full package, it’s precise, pigmented and doesn't budge throughout the day.

Zoya nail polish in Giovanna

This emerald green is a gorgeous shade, I feel like a mermaid when I wear this, the way it glistens reminds me of Ariel’s tails. So yeah I’m a mermaid don’t judge me.

Candy Yum-Yum

This is the most gorgeous shade of electric pink I have ever seen, I love how it complements my skin and makes me feel so glam while wearing it.

Ruby woo

I have been obsessed with red lipsticks more than ever this past month, whenever I want a pick me up I just put on this shade and boom instant glam.

Rocket lash mascara by Maybelline

This has been my favorite to go mascara since back in January when I found it in turkey and we just got it here in Bahrain so I am soo thrilled about that!

Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer

Oh my god guys, I have fallen back in love with my tinted moisturizers, but I especially LOVE this one from Laura Mercier, the coverage of this is phenomenal, it covers just right for an everyday use and its light, like you feel your skin still peeking through.

And now for the non beauty favorites

Sea to Santorini

I love bath and body works for so many reasons, one they have a scent that satisfies every taste, the candles have amazing designs and colors, and the names of the scents they have. This one was no exception, from the design of the lid to the name, and to the scent oh my god it smells like I’m walking down the beach and the smell of the breeze infused with flower scents.

Favorite Tv series of the past month, well as usual I cannot pin it to just one, so I have two shows which are new this fall.

Reign - CW

Oh my god, this show!! This is one of CW’s new fall tv shows, it is amazing on so many levels, I love history and throw a bunch of teens and love story line and I’m hooked. The story follows Mary Queen of Scots and he journey to the throne, the only way I’d describe this show it’s like The white queen meets gossip girl and both those shows are a fav of mine so yeah, hooked!!

Check it out 

Witches of East end - Lifetime

I do not even know how to begin telling you guys how much this show is AHMAZING!!!! If you’re into the witchy, mystery, love triangle sort of shows then you will LOVE this!! Me and my best friend describe it as it’s like Charmed but not like Charmed in so many ways, like you’ve got the four witches, the mother hid that fact from her two daughters and now they are starting to learn how powerful are they, I think I got hooked just 5 minutes into the show, it’s amazing, amazing, amazing!!

Check it out 

Favorite Tune on the month

It takes two - Katy Perry

Katy is a genius, she knows what she wants and what her audience wants and she delivers, everyone was so hesitant while waiting for her new album, we feared it might be going down a dark path-thanks to all the promos- the day it came out I downloaded and listened to all the songs and oh wow!! I love this new approach, its more mature, has so much feeling and its mind blowing.

Royals – Lorde

I’m sure this song is on everyone’s favorites of the month, If you don’t know who Lorde is you must be living under a rock, I found out about Lorde back in September while browsing through Katy Perry’s radio station in Music on my iphone, and her song BRAVADO came on, I loved it, it was like Lana del ray meets the new Katy –side note: did you know Katy Perry offered Lorde to go on tour with her but she turned down the offer- anyway so I went and googled her and there were a list of songs, I downloaded and listened and fell in love with the beat and melody of the song, another favorite of mine from her is MILLION DOLLAR BILLS.

Favorite app

Twitter

I have rediscovered my love for tweeting and I guess that’s because I’m back to being a working girls, but yes I tweet random things, RT a lot of horoscope tweets so follow me if you dare @Shougalebrahim

Favorite Food

Vanilla Tea Latte

Am I the only one that walks into a Starbucks and orders tea?? Raise your hands if you are a tea kind of person, the best thing about my new job is the timing, I have enough time to pass by the nearby Starbucks and get my daily fix of tea, their vanilla tea latte is amazing on so many levels.

Favorite Fashion item

JustFab Madrid Shoes

My favorite type of heels are wedges, they are comfy, gives you good balance yet stylish, so when I saw that I had credits in my JustFab account I thought why not get those shoes, although I wasn't 100% into them, but I did get them, a week later they arrived and I swear I haven’t worn any other heel since, they are the most amazing transitional wedge sandals, you can wear them casual, posh or even for work, they are oh so comfortable and easy to walk in, now I’m not a heels type of girl but this one has got me hooked!

Favorite subscription box of the month

PopSugar Must have box

Last month popsugar’s must have box exceeded my expectations, after not really loving the September box, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about October’s but man did I love it – I promise my next post o going to be about PopSugar must have box to introduce it to the beauties that still haven’t heard about it.
