So far, I haven’t seen a proper summer in Chicago. Yesterday it was a mild 25 Degrees Celcius and today it’s oh excuse me 15 Degrees Celcius. Why? Why is this happening to us? As you can tell, coming from the desert (Dubai), I’m used to grilling myself in 50 degree celcius weathers. I complained …

I’ve been really into capes this winter and found quite a few people sporting them on ala Harry Potter/Sherlock Holmes. Ms. Julia Banderas here wears an attractive vintage purple cape that’s well matched with a purple dress and finely accessorized with a scarf, leather gloves and statement sunnies + red lips. Love those stunnies (oops … Continue reading
