clothing inspiration    -BALMAIN'S Military look for men FW 2009;swarovski crystals(always inspiring me),Lady Gaga;the song circus,Rad Hourani's videos...

"Fashion is a dream you put on in the morning."and being a true blue fashionista(POSERS BEWARE lol)

 it takes a lot of courage and loving yourself to put on crazy outfits and just be you.

i wore this at work.really...and after work,in which i was doing laundry,doing grocery,shriek and hiss at peeps who kinda stared and give mocking looks while i was running errands  near the internet cafe slash hangout place where of course im usually seen.

if in case youre wondering where this pictorial took place,its not a warehouse;though it looks like one.LOL

i did it in haste after showering in the morning,grabbed all my fashiony things and pulled my ever convenient divider,hung these and took a pic.all within three minutes tops.

so all these while in in my colored undies that soo inspired me to take pics of fave-fave outfits.

i also changed scents btw;last week i was wearing intense by issey miyake.i had to break away from it because i was having an issue(by issue meaning rhinitis)and though i love  its citrusy,cinnamony,incensey feel on my body,,,the nose doesnt respond nicely.the NOSE is runny,sneezy itchy....

switched to JOOP a few days ago.i love the tobacco, cinnamony, vetiver effect it leaves on my skin.(im a confirmed smoker and my clothes smell of smoke...SUE ME if i give you secondhand smoke...lol)

so there.

i might make outfit of the week a regular feature in my blog just to ANNOY each and everyone of you...lol KIDDING!!!.

do i ever,ever stop?

later....

if you like androgynous clothing you will heart Rad Hourani.he has already conquered fashion at the tender age of 25.
fashion gods has declared him as the next Helmut Lang.i agree!!!
hip,stylish and sooo covetable.im sooo sinning right now...

the shoes and boots are to die for.and i have pics to prove it:

see,this may not hurt your feet and legs...LOL

yeah,fashion is pain so DIE!!!

its unisex;if you dare.i love the square toe,high heel-calf boot for males;its fresh and daring.

pair it with a skinny black pair of jeans and a drapey shirt and it looks FASYON...

and finally the menswear everyone is coveting right now;the drapey shirt,puke-puke shorts ,a vest and those calf BOOTS.

im soo dying to see moi wear this on the streets of Doha,of course with a longer pant.(sorry to say i wasnt blessed with a pair of SEX LEGS.)

im looking forward to his next collection.

vested interests

i am a waist-coat addict.i really am.and i have no idea that i have been buying vests and waistcoats for the

past 4 years or more of my stay here in doha.

im more of a tshirt guy,but when it gets drab and boring(since its always the V-neck tees that becomes a staple /uniform concept)i add a vest to spice it up.

dont get me wrong though;i love the bartender look slash waiter-esque the vest gives me.ohhh,,,and it usually covers the grotesque shape of my tummy.(hahahah on that)

whats inside my closet,lets see-

recently purchased Lee Cooper vest with a hoodie;im such a hoodie WHORE!!lolive worn it twice once with a sequinned te underneath it;

Max zipped hoodie in black;ive had this since 2006.its kinda faded but since i LOVE it sooo much,i couldnt give it away.

my waiter-esque Lee Cooper waistcoat done in denim;i simply add brooches or flowers to the lapel to make it more interesting.i think theres a beaded floweron the left pocket.

my waistcoat with zipper and faux buttonholes.i lover the fabric,it sheen and hard and it covers my stomach on bloaty days.

another waiter-esque vest in satin material and shawl collar courtesy of Kinyobe Friday.later on ill be blogging about this label since its part of the Splash group of designs.

so i have the vests and waistcoats going until spring.btw,spring is just around the corner....cant wait...cant wait...

in the meantime ill be serving coffee,este designs wearing this fabulousness...lol

UMMclothing in Qatar

http://www.ummclothing.it/
you have to look and see what their point of view in clothing is all about.up until a week ago,i have been doing tremendous amounts of retail therapy(gifts for birthdays),and came across this label.
the line is available in Splash Boutique(both at city centre and centrepoint)and was just introduced this 1st of january 2010.
i have very little or no knowledge in Italian(soooo sorry that i know more spanish,hehehe)but thats beside the point since ive provided a link for all you readers out there.
i consider myself already a patron(by patron ive been massively buying all their stuff except their puke-puke shorts and jeans)and will be giving some of my friends cool UMM stuff for their bdays.

heres some stuff that caught my eye,and when you say it caught my eye i meant i have it now in my closet.(you know me,,,insanely buying/hoarding/wearing something fabulous)

a jacket thats got a hoodie;and you now how i like hoodies.and how soft the cotton is.and its RED!!!duhhh,,,

gotta have the cap too...i have actually a spare one of the same color just in case the other cap gets KARAB in the laundry or something;

the lovely square bag,,,i got hold of some black spray paint and spray painted the whole thing in black.im not a black and white bag kinda guy.

the black tee that came in a canister that slash as a coin bank;

a close up of that beautiful canister that came with the tee.its a good thing that i didnt have the urge to spray paint in black;

and a bunch of tees that i didnt get a chance to take peektyurs of coz i was busy wrapping them as gifts.

all in all i was extremely HAPPY in everything i got from this obscure label.hence the need to blog it.

total damage was less than QR 250.(4 tees,2 caps,a bag and a smug look on my face)

cant beat that...:)

BLING ME!!!!

modeled by yours truly....hey i'm no model but this works on me just fine.hahahaha

soo its all about the blings!!!

D&G bracelet bought here in Doha,the cartier bangle from manila,the prouds silver bracelet gift from my cousin when he travelled to australia ,the weighty chain silver bracelet gift from my co-worker when he returned from India and the silver ring from Oman,a gift from my younger sister.

I'm often asked about by people who see me wear these freakishly stylish blings,at least i've been stopped twice;once while shopping for duds and while i was picking bananas inside a veggie shop(i mean the real bananas by kilo)where i got my blings.My co-workers usually joke about me giving these blings to them but hell no,i LOVE them to death and no way im going to part with these.

Actually, i only wear them during winter time.i dunno,maybe because its cold and i seek|need|crave ATTENTION(lol),hence, the bangle bracelet|bling pile-up.

during summer,i leave the right arm and ring finger bare and without fuss since i sweat to death and its really sticky,icky and not to mention itchy...

did i mention that i have a pierced ear?that's another story to tell.....

gotta go for now....
