Autumn/Winter Trend: Capes



Olivia Palermo in the famous (and personally monogrammed) Burberry cape

When Olivia Palermo walked down the streets in THAT Burberry cape, I knew a trend was born. High streets scrambled fast to provide great dupes of it and bloggers everywhere were lusting after it. I can't blame them, wearing capes are a great alternative to wearing a heavy coat and keep you super warm as well as chic. You can also cheat and just buy a blanket scarf or 'chadaar' and simply carry it as a cape.

Here are some Pakistani fashionista working the cape trend:

Kingburg Kitchen - One of the better NRM deals in town! (San Gabriel)

Image
Outside Kingburg Kitchen After getting my Canon dSLR just days before my Urasawa dinner, I've stopped using my P&S camera (other than the Jitlada dinner), and subsequently, I gave it to my mom for her to use. However, after going through a few folders of my old back logged pictures shot by my point and shoot camera, I've stumbled upon some pictures from my go to spot for beef noodle soup ( NRM ) in the San Gabriel Valley, Kingburg Kitchen. Sign states: Order, Make, Wrap, Pan Fry (re: Pan Fried Bao ) A hearty bowl of Beef Noodle Soup After trying the various beef noodle soup around town ( Kam Hong , A&J, Noodle King, Dai Ho, Ding's Garden (2 of them), and even at Cotton Candy), there were always something that I wasn't too happy about with the bowl of noodles I ate. In a way, my cravings of a bowl of beef noodle soup has never been met. Sadly, even after Kingburg , I found there's still no perfect bowl of NRM on this side of the Pacific, yet, this wa...

Nozomi Sushi Like with the previous Sushi Zo post, my first dinner at Nozomi happened over a year ago. Although the dinner had occurred such a long time ago, I always had fond memories of my dinner there. Strange enough, I didn't make a return visit until this past weekend. While going over the new pictures for Nozomi, I still want to present my first dinner in pictures. Part two of my Nozomi post will cover the most recent dinner.

New Designer: Bisma Kayani

Designer Bisma Kayani on the right with some friends all wearing her designs. Meet new designer Pakistani based Bisma Kayani. Her collection consists of formal wear with pretty delicate work, perfect for weddings or an evening function. I talk to the talented girl to find out more about her. When did you start your brand? I was actually on the career path to become a manager but then designing was always my true calling.  Creativity came naturally to me and I always took interest in dressing up, I remember people used to borrow my clothes and copy them.  I had never actually thought of becoming a designer and making clothes for living until i was in my last semester and about to attain my masters degree. To explore this option further, I visited various designers, I quickly realised that I need to be passionate about what I do and fashion was my only passion. Also I have to admit, becoming a designer seemed like the best way for me to exercise my creativity on a...
