Day of the Snow Leopard

Not wanting to overkill my praise for Pearl Daisy but I have to say that this snow leopard number has me addicted. Even blue looks better on me with this baby in the mix! And you know what I also love about this picture? The lines around my eyes. That is the first time I can actually say that and I feel a great relief that I no longer have the pressure of the young. We all have things we dislike about ourselves but each day by the grace of God we learn to appreciate more what He has given us.

Is there anything unexpected you love about yourself?

Keep loving yourselves sisters :)

At present my thoughts are focussed on my presentation for Muslim Hands on Monday. Insha'Allah they will be excited by my vision for '30 Days of Desert Prayer' to raise money for the war-orphans and affected families of Palestine. Please remember the cause in your dua'a ladies, I would be really grateful for your prayers. Depending on how the presentation goes, I will share my vision with you following the meeting! The laptop is of course to keep updating my blog during my desert time. And because it's pretty...

Should never be seen!

Well today I am wearing patchwork jeans, a leopard print tunic and a floral scarf - this SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED! But somehow it just happened and for some unknown reason, it did not offend my eyes when I looked in the mirror this morning. Of course it looks better with my bright lagoon blue jacket over the top as this separates the two prints, but how is this look possible?? HOW? What are your thoughts ladies? I had been moving boxes around all afternoon hence the rolled back sleeves :(

Maxi-mum ease...

I am so wanting to make life easy on myself right now. What could be easier than a maxi dress? I'm sick of waistbands, I want to feel some freedom! Here are three maxi dress looks, I hope you like! I'm thinking of designing a range of long-sleeved abaya-style dresses myself as I can never find exactly what I want out there. Even my recently purchased blue abaya leaves something to be desired! I had to adjust it as soon as I got home to avoid looking like a drowned rat! Great colour though... it's always worth working with these things! Anyway, I'll keep you posted. I'm in love with this liberty print scarf! Too bad my friend Lucy doesn't work there anymore!
