Fashion Reflex: Looking at ends with joy and new beginnings with prayers of enthusiasm, wishing everyone a sparkling new year.

Today, I would like to write this and celebrate with every word I type. I wish to wish every one of us happy thoughts, blessings, and the feeling of being grateful to every single day that have passed by us even if it contained sorrow, for in every sorrow there is a hidden blessing or a hidden gift that we just need to find while we continue our journey. We all loose loved ones on the way but it is our choice to look at it as a loss, when instead we can look at it as a gift. Those people who have passed away were given gifts in our lives, we were lucky to know them, live with them and love them. Life is a lifetime cycle and we were born to know that our lives do end. The end should never be looked at with sorrow, but should be looked at with joy, should be looked at with gratefulness, and with respect. But as we continue knowing that to every end there is a new beginning we should be filled with hope, faith and enthusiasm.

Every year, I write a new resolution, and every end of each year I look at what I have accomplished from the list. This year of 2014 was the first year I truly accomplish almost all my list and the reason is I have learned to stop writing down unrealistic goals and instead writing what is realistic and accountable goals that I know if I don’t achieve within the same year I either no longer want the goal or I just need to continue achieving it within the next year.

Be true to yourself always, and be easy on yourself, try to look at your own window that will reflect to you what you and only you truly want and not what seems to be or is surrounded by you. Try to listen deeply; if what you write down as your resolution is something you are passionate for, looking forward to have, or experience then you will feel the enthusiasm towards it.

In this post, I am sharing looks from this season that are all about sparkling. Since the new year of 2015 is coming up, then dress up with sparkles, frost yourself with what will glitz and glow. Be joyous for what has passed and what is yet to come, and direct your attention to attracting the best of your own imagination.

Here are looks from the fall winter 2014/2015 collections by designers from Bluemarine, Dolce & Gabbana, Isabel Marant, Max Mara, Michael Kors, Narciso Rodriguez, No. 21, Reem Acra and many more. All pictures belong to www.style.com

Do you want to look elegant for the holidays?

Elegance is beautiful and fashionable at the same time. It has always been my favorite style. It gives confidence, sophistication, and present.

I have noticed designers have focused a lot this season on using the same print or color for the full look, and it looks pretty amazing. Head to toe painted in one color, it can be dramatic, but it can also be utterly elegant.

In my choice here, I have chosen different colors and prints that are combined to form a look, and I believe they look great. It looks like it is time for a monochromatic trend. Try it out today, mix the same colors together even if they don’t match so much in tone and see how you feel.

Here are my selection from this seasons fall winter 2014/2015 runway shows, with designers like Chanel, Esacda, Fendi, Jason Wu, Jil Sander, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Stella MacCartney, Valentino and many more. All photographs belong to www.style.com

Fashion Reflex: It is the comfort season.

Every once in a while, we deserve to throw our selves into a pile of comfort, meditative state of body and mind. Surrounding ourselves with comfort, softness, happy colors, and lots and lots of warmth.

I am not a big fan of fur coats to be honest, but they just feel incredible, they keep me warm, they make me feel romantic, and rolled with love. Fur coats not only feel good, but they look best with evening gowns! I find it very difficult to fit a suitable coat over any gown when wearing to a wedding or any formal event. But I do love fur scarfs and fury blankets, and I mostly like to feel warm all the time in winter.

When shopping for fur, shop it right, and shop it before the very cold winter, find the color the suits you, and find the design that fits you. Here I have selected my favorite fur items from the fall winter 2014/2015 collections from designers like: Alexander McQueen, Chloe, Fendi, Gucci, J. Mendel, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Roberto Cavalli, Sonia Rykiel and many more.

Fashion Reflex: Falling in love with blues this winter.

The color blue has been dominant for few years now, and it is only growing on the runway and on us. Feeling blue is not a good feeling at most times; ironically, wearing it makes you stand out. There is something about the color blue that I just admire, it is very serene, and yet very attractive. It is different but very natural and it brings out rose cheeks and lips. I couldn’t resist the following blue outfits and decided to share them here today.

Photographs are all from the fall winter 2014/2015 collection by designers like Alexis Mabile, Iceberg, Jill Stuart, Karen Walker, Lela Rose, Osman, Richard Nicoli, Stella McCartney, Chloe and many more. All photos are from www.style.com

Fashion Reflex: Getting back to your classic self.

It always starts somewhere, in what ever it is; there is always the classic, without the classics we have no base to return too. Everything starts with an idea, an idea that is first implemented, then liked, and then we add our own additions to it.

In fashion, we always have the classic block, the classic cut, the classic pattern; we take it and improvise on it.

From time to time, it is nice to get back to your very basic essence of yourself. Touch base with the real deep self; observe your changes, your sensation, and your soul. Even your basic self, your classic self is different in its own way, so bring it out, show who you truly are in in the minimal way possible, show your classic self, be who you truly are.

Classic cuts, can vary from one person to another, there is one basic for each one of us, here are some of my favorite classics for this winter showing pictures from www.style.com Fall Winter 2014/2015 from designers like Comme des Garcons, Dolce& Gabbana, Hermes, Jil Stauart, Karen Walker, and Pringles of Scotland.

 

Have you ever been to thee desert of Wadi-Rum ?

Fashion Reflex: Fabric matching is a form of art.

Fabrics are super beautiful, and mixing the right fabrics together will only create an art piece. It is like creating your own textile; trying different types or colors together, creating a new painting, and expressing. We are all different because we all like different things and we lead a different life, different aspiration, interest and different personalities.

The best part about standing out is going for what you long for, and not what everyone else has on. You are who you are because you are different, and that is what makes you beautiful. Cherish your differences, and everyone else will cherish the artist you have in you.

Below you will find outfits that are made from different fabrics mixed together. All pictures belong to www.style.com and include designs by Phillip Lim, Diane Von Furstenberg, Leonard, Missoni, Miu Miu, Narciso Rodriguez, Nicole Miller, Valentino, and many more.

Have you ever been to Amman, the capital city of Jordan?

Fashion Reflex: Earth is one thing we all have in common… Let us dress in earth colors this season.

Without us, earth would not be the same. Without the earth, we cannot survive. We belong to the earth and the earth belongs to all of us, it is what we all have in common, it is where we eat from, where we live on, what we breath from. We are inspired by what surrounds us and earth is the very first source of inspiration.

Most of the time, I like to walk barefoot and feel deeply connected with earth. When I get the chance, I enjoy walking barefoot on soil. Earth is what I long for when I need time off, when I need to recharge, or get inspired. I usually choose to travel somewhere new, and connect to the nature within the place I am traveling in.

I decided to choose my favorite earth color outfits from the fall winter 2014/2015 ready to wear collection and share them here. There is something very warm about the green and brown colors mixed together, they give me the feeling of comfort and serenity.

Fashion Reflex: Dress up and Dress with love for the holidays.

December is my favorite month of the year; not just because I celebrate my birthday right after Christmas, and right before new years no ;), but also because I feel it is the perfect time of the year to celebrate my accomplishments and to prepare for what is there yet to come.

Look good for yourself, look good for your loved ones, and shine because you have counted all your blessings for the year 2014 and you are grateful for them. Celebrate in any way possible, join family and friends for dinner, organize your own dinner, a small event of live jazz, do something you have always wanted to do, and do it for yourself. Buy gifts for your loved ones, shower them with love, remember what they have all shared with you this year that is worthy to remember, give back to those you didn’t have the time to give back to, and remember to always share your love.

Here are my favorite dressy looks for this winter; maybe you can get inspired to what to wear for your festivals, events, gatherings, or dinners. Have a wonderful month of December; fill it with love, beauty and aspiration.

Dressed in all black from head to toe during winter… Find out the best looks for this season.

It is finally the time of the year, when it is almost dark all the time where ever you go. I must confess that black is one of my very favorite colors in my wardrobe during wintertime, and I never need to worry about explaining why am in black from head to toe. It is just simply sexy, and it always looks good!!

Mixing and matching different shades and fabrics of black is my secret recipe to transforming my outfit. We all know that Coco Chanel has something to do with all in black look for woman, and today we thank her for that. Black is timeless, and can be worn at any occasion and at any time.

The following photographs are from the Fall Winter 2014/2015 ready to wear collection dressed in everything black for designers like Alberta Ferretti, Alexander McQueen, Christian Dior, Donna Karen, Elie Saab, Haidar Ackermann, Jason Wu, Mara Hoffman, Monique Lhuillier, and Salvatore Ferragamo.
