All this while that I've been a major social zombie due to personal reasons (months of no blog update, if you shouted hello to the blog you'd probably hear an echo!), I opted for twitter and instagram! Thanks to Naz for gifting me an iPad2 last year and it has been my bestfriend ever since. I looooooove instagram, I think it's one of the best photo app ever created! I don't dress up all that much these days but when I do I try to atleast take a snapshot of it on iG.

Here's a gist of what I've captured on my instagram lately;

Don't forget to follow me on INSTAGRAM!

One of the latest photo I took is of this bow-tie pasta I made for supper last night. Ain't it the cutest pasta ever??

Quite reminds me of this (rather ridiculous but awfully cute!) bow-tie pasta earring on Dolce & Gabbana S/S 2012  fashion show.

If you are interested you can DIY them yourselves, the girls at Honestly WTF will show you how ;) Good luck trying!

Anyways, I have a friend who loves posting advices or reminders to her future kids on her twitter and facebook. The quotes are rather good, right on point and very much the truth honestly. And, it reminisces the way Ted Mosby of How I Met Your Mother talks to his kids. Love that show! Problem is, posting quotes on facebook status and tweets may not ensure that her future kids would get the message since it's hard to trackback all those quotes. So, I'm gonna help her on this and fancy it up a lil bit ;)

Had a bit of "designer's" block while trying to figure out how to make the quotes look nice enough to be added on possibly Yani's tumblr. I'm not liking the end result :( but truly uninspired right now and I've been at it all day. Maybe tomorrow will be better. Importantly Yani loves it! Ah well...

Reflection Fashion Show

Although the fashion show has happened exactly a month ago, but every single moment is still fresh in my mind. The panic, nervous, hectic running around changing and styling the models backstage and so on. What makes matters slightly worse was that I was sick from a viral fever and dry cough (which I confirmed later, after all the hustle & bustle of the fashion show ended). Definitely didn't want to get myself checked in to the ward with all the preparation going on). Attended by famous names like Hana Tajima, Vivy Yusoff of FashionValet, singer Heliza Helmi and numerous celebrities and media; you can imagine my hurried walk and awkward pose at the end of my show (y'know, the one where the designer walks on the runway with one of the model?). Anyways here's the *cough cough* collection! Our collection remains to be casual, wearable and affordable, hope you like what you're seeing :)

1. Schanaz Dubai Silk Scarf, get it in numerous colors here; and our exclusively made Rose Maxi Dress (not yet released).

2. Schanaz Dubai Silk Scarf + Aema Oversized Shirt (comes in 5 different colors) + Mila Ruffled Maxi Skirt (sold out on the day of the fashion show itself, oooh did I mention we also opened up a booth at the bazaar? Mila will be released in 6 different colors end of February 2012).

3. Schanaz Dubai Silk Scarf + Auni Peplum Top (comes in 3 colors) + Hannah Palazzo Pants (one of our best-selling item!)

4. Schanaz Dubai Silk Scarf + Lea Bubble Sleeve Top (comes in 3 colors) + Fareena Double Ruffle Skirt (sold out on the fashion day itself! Will be released in 5/6 colors end of February 2012)

Another good news, in light of the fashion show alhamdulillah Vivy Yusoff from FashionValet has invited Shop SputnikSweetheart to be part of the FashionValet family! We are working hard on producing FV dedicated products which will be available there soon! So excited!! it's a great opportunity for my label to be introduced to a wider set of audience in Malaysia and internationally. Alhamdulillah.. But you still can buy straight from my website ;)

Phew! Editing all those photos above reminds me of myself on final year uni days, I did not budge one bit till it's all finish - not even for lunch. Okay time to get some food in my tummy! If you see anything you like above, watchu waiting for - SHOP NOW!
