Beautiful Quran

Quran is a must have in your house if you're a Muslim.

I am now taking orders for this beautiful and colorful Quran. The cover is made of velvet and its travel-sized so its really handy to bring it anywhere. This is the smallest size without translation. Kalau bigger size ada translation but unfortunately the bigger size dah habis.

Its perfect for hantaran, to give to your loved ones or a present for yourself. This Quran is imported and its not available in Malaysia.

Colors available are: Fuchsia, dark blue, cream, red, yellow, light brown, dark brown, grey and black.
Price: RM150 inclusive shipping.

Its a pre-order item. It'll be available starting end of this month so do put your order quick before your favourite color goes out of stock. To order please email theaddara@gmail.com

Let The Right One In

My friend texted me few days back asking my opinion on what bag and shoe should she get for her 'hantaran'. Her budget is quite high so its not a problem to choose when money isn't in the way. Ahh ... don't we all wish this too?

I suggested her to get a classic designer bag. It is really the only way to go (from my point of view) than buying 'It Bags' which are seasonal. 'It Bags' come and go. But boy was i wrong. Certain 'It Bags' has proven their staying power than being just seasonal arm candy.

For example, the YSL Muse. The bag debuted in 2006 and has seen many different incarnations since then. It became an instant favourite and now with its staying power, it has become an iconic bag. The label brings out the bag in many different version every season. You can find the bag in topaz, magenta and red whiskey. And in different skins such as ostrich, snake and croc skin!

Above, the Muse(s) being one of the bags i suggested to my friend. Others are ...

Chanel GST

Chanel Classic Flap in caviar

I asked her to choose a spacious bag rather than tiny ones (but i simply cannot help myself - i have to point out the Bottega clutch because well hello, it is to-die-for!). I still remember last year being at the GLAM magazine anniversary event, Mia and myself saw someone clutching that purse and we both cried in unison "Soooo painstakingly beautiful!". Damn that beautiful tiny thing! *saving each cents i have starting now*

My friend is going bag-hunting tomorrow with her fiancee. I hope she chooses the right one, in the right material and sizing which i think is truly crucial in choosing bags. Especially if you're getting a Chanel. I'll let you guys know in September which bag she got for the 'hantaran'. Until then, let us wish her for a smooth preparation. I know she's super stressed out (nobody said being a bridezilla is easy, sigh) so i hope the bag and the shoes will cheer her up!

Sunday Morning

Well hello sexay face Adam Levine! 

Hair Issue

Its true what they say, absence does make the heart grow fonder.

Saw E yesterday after a month of not seeing each other. We stopped speaking for 2 weeks and when we started talking to each other again, we couldn't stop texting each other! I miss him tremendously during our time apart. And now that its all routine again, it feels so good. No, it feels great.

But, what wasn't great was his new hairdo! Im not used seeing him with his hair that short. I've always preferred his shaggy hairdo than other type of hairdos. And definitely not this Scott Disick-ish hair. Left and right, most of the boys i know currently are sporting Disick's hairdo. Ugh!

I don't know if its just me, but Disick creepily reminds me of Patrick Bateman! The haircut, the clothes, their impeccable fashion sense, the flawless face, the suave, ... EVERYTHING screams Bateman! Im thinking he is probably Disick's idol or something righttt?

Blaze-r Me Up!

Because i don't write that much anymore, i thought of turning this blog into a WIWT kind of blog. The thought of leaving the blog for good is just sad, so i must do something to make sure its alive.

I have been writing a lot, but mostly i keep it to myself. My daily ramblings are all over my laptop. I can write more personal stuff that way which i can't do here obviously. So yes, WIWT type of blog means less writing and more photos (i don't even have a proper camera) and i've to experiment more with my clothes and accessories rather than buying just blouses and jackets. I am turning into a boring person, i know. Sheesh!

But jackets! I am really addicted to jackets and blazers! Especially proper fitted ones, handsome colorful blazers, the fully beaded ones, ah you name it as long as it's a jacket im sure to fall in love with it.
Here are a few that i am eyeing now ...

Mango Tailored Jacket

ASOS Shrunked Boyfriend Blazer

Ammara Hijabi Cape Blazer

Zara Long Studio Smoking Jacket

Zara Frayed Blazer

Zara Beaded Waistcoat

Oh hey look!

Kate Moss why you look so good in thisssssssss, sigh x infinity.

Dead-doner

Would you do it?

Would you donate your organs and tissue for transplantation after your death? I've been thinking about it. More recently. Should i just go through with it? Do i need to consult my family first? Hmmm. But its my body. Its my choice.

I am really THIS close to signing up. But i just don't know why i can't bring myself to it yet. I tweeted about this just now and a good friend of mine said something that's awfully true. A lot us are still selfish without realizing! That really hit me.

Yes its true! We are selfish not wanting to donate our organs and tissue after our death. By deciding to donate, we can help a lot of people, regardless of their religion. And along the way, insyaallah dapat pahala for doing so. Don't you want to collect pahala even when you're no longer stepping your foot on this earth?

If you are a Muslim and you're unsure on Islamic rulings and fatwas, please read this. Hopefully it'll help you to make your decision. You can donate to non-Muslims too. There's no harm in it. No sin in donating to people of different religion.

Its amazing that i got my answer after writing this post. InsyaAllah i will do it.
