Channeling Modern Arab Boy!!!

Warm Pullover : Mango
Black Skinny Jeans : Bershka
Headscarf : Guthra
































What I loved most about UAE men's traditional clothing is they looked immaculately 

clean with the white kandura - or dishdash , as it is referred to by the expats, is the 

long white cloak that Male Emirati wears.You will be amaze how these dress remains 

crumple free all throughout the day.


I have always wanted to wear kandura but I am not sure if I could pull it off with my 



strong Asian look ha ha!!! So I took the risk of wearing the headscarf instead, also known 

as Guthra in Arabic term - it is usually worn along with the egal  -is the black rope that 

fixes the headscarf in place.



Every little thing is beautiful in UAE and I wouldn't last a decade if I do not like this 


country. I do not want to offend anyone by simply wearing their piece of clothing - it is 

my way of embracing their culture and traditions...

Back to Home base!!!


Printed Tee : Bershka Men
Skinny Pants : Stradivarius
Platform Shoes : Vintage Tokyo


And so I'm back in Abu Dhabi. It has been a great holiday experience in the Philippines even for a week - short yet I had an amazing time. I needed this much awaited holiday to diffuse the ever growing stress on my every day life here in UAE. 

One of the many things which I normally do to divert my mind and to keep myself away from the stressful situation is retail therapy and of course writing my fashion blog and sharing about my fashion inspired outfits to you all. I wish I am a better writer but I'm just delighted to share my fashion inspirations to all who follows my blog.

For today's look, I am serving you cool summer outfit from Bershka and totally loving this platform shoes that I bought from Harajuko district in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.

Manila - A tourist in me!!!


Traditional Hat : "Salakot" from Quiapo
Top Tanks : Cotton On
Sweat pants : Cotton On
Hi Top Sneakers : Maison Martin Margiela
























While on leave for almost two weeks, I haven't decided whether to go to Brazil for the FIFA World Cup or Casablanca in Morocco  for a nature trip but being a solo traveler sometimes can be scary  to visit any of these countries which has a reputation of a not so safe places to visit to - but safety issue is almost everywhere in the world , Isn't it? After spending 5 days on local leave - I finally decided to just utilize the rest of my remaining days in Manila - Thanks to a dear friend who let me use a staff ticket- that save me a fortune!


The plane arrives the next day and no single moment was wasted - first stop is we went to Quiapo -  It is a district in the bustling, busy and crowded city of Manila. Quiapo gets it name from a floating plant named; "Kiapo" that grew abundantly around that area. This place is made popular for the Quiapo church where you can see the Black Nazarene -  the statue of Jesus of Nazarene is thought to give miracles and blessings. We searched the area looking for some traditional items for my street styling shots and I was fascinated by the art pieces. See photos below;

I could say that it is definitely fun in the Philippines...
