The Sweater Kind of Weather

Patterns and knits aren’t always so hot, but let’s face it, winter came early this year and the ski-season is just around the corner so as much as we all dream of  sliding the slopes in something more flattering, chances are you won’t survive. So here are some of my Fav sweaters and leggings Shopbop‘s got in store this  season.  Stay Warm!

Goodbye 4 Cats, Hello Cheeta

Her name is Maya Diab and she has a show on the Lebanese Mtv called “ Hek Minghani” (This is how we sing).

Many of you may remember Maya from her all-girl band days with the 4 Cats (yes, you read that correctly, cats, as in felines).  I’m not sure when her current show comes on but I’ve caught a glimpse of it once or twice as I was randomly flipping through some channels. It was one of those things that are so irritating but you just can’t get yourself to stop watching because you can’t believe what you see, better yet, a friend tells me the show is a big hit!

Maya, the host, invites  artists onto her show and they start having singing competitions. Now all that is great, until you realize that the guest artists there are just stage props, they could be singing “Hal Seesan Shou Hilween” for all everyone cares, no one would even flinch an eye, this show is simply a set-up for the super vain Maya Diab to strut her stuff in front of the camera the entire time.   We all have moments of vanity but I’ve never seen anyone more in love with the camera in my life. The woman will literally start following it around until it focuses on her and then she’ll start over-performing until it becomes too painful but really funny to watch. And don’t get me started on her outfits, my jaw just drops with each outfit choice she makes.  If I were her I’d have a long one-on-one “talk” with the show’s stylist. Can you imagine what a field day the Fashion Police would have if they got wind of this? What do you think?

IVY’s Weekend Outfit

I’m invited to a beach event this weekend that starts off as a regular beach-day and ends with a fierce party till the early hours of the morning.

Beating Breast Cancer- One Couture Bra At A Time

If you haven’t yet heard of the newest campaign to rock the Middle East, then you must seriously consider making more friends, because the fight against Breast Cancer just got Hauter!  It’s called Bras For A Cause, and those ladies weren’t kidding around when they decided to  “bridge the gap between Middle Eastern fashion designers and breast cancer survivor” because “ wearing the right bra and prostheses can tremendously improve the healing process – both emotionally and physically”

Brought to you by the fashion forward ladies at Fustany.com and the Beirut-based Breast Cancer Support group  OneWigStand this powerful duo has gone full-throttle with this innovative campaign and have gotten some of the most talented designers in the region to design some of the sexiest and whimsical bras!

Better yet, you can vote for your favorite bra, link it and like it, the winning designs will be brought to life and showcased later this year in exclusive Fashion Shows in Dubai and Beirut.Voting  ends on July 12th so what are you waiting for? Pick your Fav here!

I was lucky enough to be one of the Ambassadors for this great cause, and also privileged enough to pick and represent my favorite bra. Most of you know I’m a self-proclaimed baker so naturally I fell in love with “The Cupcake Bra” from the ” Her Bra” category designed by Rana Muallem! Check it out below!

Help bring this cause the attention it deserves. Each year the rate of women diagnosed with Breast Cancer is on the rise, don’t you think it’s time we fought back hard, one fashionable bra at a time!
