That's my chick. That's my chick. So finally my gorgeous girlfriend goes live Above The Line. Keep it up because I like.

- Sharjeel (proud smile)

Diana: Thank you, love! Following is the translation of the interview as per request.

Most influention person in your signature style
The Olsens! Other than them, I'm also often inspired by fashion bloggers like Susie from Style Bubble and Rumi from Fashion Toast.

Favorite stores:
I like Zara, Topshop and Nine West. But I prefer shopping online because I usually get items that are unique and not available (in my country).

Since when did you become a very stylish person?
Lol...that I don't know ahaha. I was such a tomboy back then, but I grew my love for high heels since the last years of my undergrad study.

How to deal with comments , especially the negative ones?
I'm fine with comments; positive or negative. I like to hear what people think and have to say about me.

Describe your signature style!
Shiny pieces! I'm currently in love with materials like PVC, latex and sequins. --> Okay, so I didn't really answer this question spot on. I think my signature style would be...playful? BUT, I have a BIG love for shiny pieces :)

You'll never wear...
Sexy and revealing clothes! Not only that my parents have raised me in such manners, but I myself also feel uncomfortable showing too much skin.

Most expensive fashion stuff you've ever bought:
Red pumps from Balenciaga.

Your best buy:
Mini hat for 50 cents (US Dollar) from Ebay.

My Dear Mr. Slater

Earlier this year I went on a bit of a Nigel Slater glom, reading every one of his books I could access through my local library system. I can't remember how it started or if I had any particular goals in mind - I only recall feeling a little let down with his pedantic style and presentation and not getting whatever it had been I was expecting. Laconic nearly to the point of inducing slumber, Slater's writing betrays little of the passion he says he feels about food and cooking. I read and read trying to find a clue as to why he is so beloved and respected until in The Kitchen Diaries he made disparaging comments about home-canned items given as gifts. This, as you might well imagine, I feel is a deal breaker and an appalling position for one who claims to support micro producers and local foodways.

In my own small way I feel called upon to try to rebalance the scale in favor of homecanned fabulousness - especially for gifting and for hosting. What I wouldn't give to be offered a piece of poundcake glazed with homemade apricot jam this holiday season instead of a gooey oversweet whatsit from the freezer section. Or be able to open a jar of chutney to pair with whole grain crackers rather than heat up some pre-made pastry thing. Or, or, or... You, too? Then let's do something about it.

Over the next weeks I'll be making and posting about a variety of canned foodstuffs that are not only delicious but also easy to make and suitable projects for home canners from novice to expert. Any can be given as wonderful gifts on their own or matched with inexpensive additions or can be kept aside for those days when you'd like to have friends over* but aren't up to the task or expense of shopping. If you don't already have water-bath canning gear and want to play along check out this post and consider about spending some of your grocery budget on supplies (including half- or quarter-pint jars) - or chip in with a friend or borrow if it's your first time. My own canning kettle is in use throughout the year and I count the money it cost as among the best I've ever spent, repaid many times over in savings and enjoyment.

What shall we make? These are the ideas I have, but I am nothing if not flexible. If there's something you'd like to try, do let me know and we'll see what can be done. I'll start with the following:


Spiced honey
Lemon-Sage Wine Mustard
Roasted Red Pepper Spread
Lime Chutney
Thai Hot and Sweet Dipping Sauce

For each of these projects I'll post the recipe, some pics and a few ideas to maximize its gifting potential. If you're inspired to try some canning on your own, I'll hope you'll leave links to your projects in the comments so we can all learn together.

If Mr. Slater's been disappointed by gifts of homemade lusciousness in the past, my guess is he never received a present from one of us.


* You know how you're always saying you should have people over more? Yeah, me too. I'm seriously thinking that should be my New Year's Resolution - more people, more often.

The C Word

Change is probably the only thing that will never change in this world. It is essential, inevitable yet ostracized most of the times. It demands a profound understanding on why change should take place in life, also a sagacious mind to comprehend that even having such change should not muddle our identity. Essential, but adaptable. Our minds move along, but our hearts stay deeply rooted.

Change compels us to step out of our comfort zone, to perform something we habitually do in another way. It makes us think, become smarter but in contrast stimulate fear. We become afraid of having new problems, and we grow doubts on whether the change itself was actually the right thing to do or not. ‘Breaking the rules’ was never easy.

A bigger change leading to a greater impact happens when it touches the points of mindset. It takes a step further than just changing behaviors. It stimulates discussions, though most of the time leads to arguments and cynical talks. A breaking of culture. And I say, why not?

Let The Rain Fall Down

It’s not raining today, but I sure know it will. While I’m working on a report, my mind flies away with beautiful images of pink dresses and floral skirts on my head. And oh, a fascinator for my head and yellow pumps as well. Why am I feeling so good lately, that I feel contented with anything that is happening in my life? In the face of struggles and whatever that is that people label is ‘saddening’, I just know everything in my life has been mapped out the way it is and I just need to live it joyously.

Just read Susie’s new post, and I must say I'm with her. I wonder why people are so hooked on raggedy looks lately. Is ragged the new cool? Because it looks like you put the whole look effortlessly while in fact you try so hard to rip or make holes in your clothes? No evil thoughts here…as I said, I’m just wondering…:)

You and Me and Everyone We Know

Have you ever heard, a voice so beautiful. That even when it curses, you just smile back and say ‘thank you’. And when it is hushed, the feeling becomes even better. It doesn’t matter what noise it produces, the being itself is just missed in every second.

A whisper a hum a commotion, I know it speaks the same language. Today feels so good, tomorrow will be better. As long as I have something to hear, I promise you it will.
