Bored? Take The Colour Quiz

There's this quiz I came across a while back which claims to tell you how you are feeling from the combination of colours you choose.. I was a bit sceptical at first but it actually works, it's really weird. Give it a go here.

Formal Dresses.. Of Questionable Style

If you HAD to, which would you don?

Sour Grapes

It's nothing to do with anything but with exam results day looming (i.e. tomorrow..!), I found myself reminded of an old time favorite..

The Fox and the Grapes: An Aesop's Fable (from this site)

One hot summer's day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. "Just the thing to quench my thirst," quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: "I am sure they are sour."

It is easy to despise what you cannot get.

A Weird One..

Anyone who's read this blog will probably have gathered that I'm not a registered member of the Haram Police, nor do I want to be. However, today while waiting for the bus with my mum, I saw one shocker of an outfit which I just have to show you:

It was essentially this..

..with one of these..!

I glanced at my mum as the woman strolled past with the rest of her family and then pulled my dress down and inch or two..

Zainab's Request: Maxi Styling

I recently had a request from Zainab who has bought a turquoise maxi dress from H&M and is wondering how to wear it. I know the dress she is talking about as I have seen it myself in the store but H&M does not have an online shop so I have found a dress that looks similar to it.

Here's some formal and casual jacket ideas for the dress (the items are all under $50):
