3 SKINNY JEANS LOOKBOOK IDEAS

Since the past decades, jeans will never go out of style among men and women. One of the most popular pair these days are the skinny jeans. For the individuals who are just plain tired wearing the straight cut or boot flare jeans will definitely love flaunting a new pair of skinny jeans on their day out. However, some women may have no idea on how to play around with skinny jeans. There are three best ways a woman can enhance their legs while looking stylish anywhere they go.

  The Semi-Formal Look

Ladies who want to maintain a formal look to the office while still remaining simple can opt to match their skinny jeans with a blazer jacket. The blazer jacket will absolutely turn casual skinny jeans into a more mature appearance. Wear it with high heels and strut with confidence in front of others. There is nothing wrong in looking fashionable at work with a pair of blue skinny jeans. However, do take note to not wear this look if you have a meeting with an important client.

 The Casual Chic

Meanwhile, the casual outfit is the most easiest and common outfit for women to pull off. By just matching their blue or black skinny jeans with a t-shirt, women can flaunt their chic outfit around town effortlessly. Besides that, the casual ensemble of skinny jeans are perfect for the ladies who want to show off their sexy legs and make them look longer.

1    Colourful Fun

However, for the ladies who are looking to spice up their wardrobe can definitely try wearing different colours of skinny jeans.  Instead of the classic blue, women can choose from the wide range of colours available from violet, yellow, green, blue, pink and more. Match it with a basic tee or even a shirt for a trendy looking outfit. Interested in getting your hands on a pair of skinny jeans?

بِسْـــــــــمِ اَللّهِ الرّحْمن الرّحيم 

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

Today marks 2 weeks of my father's passing. It was a sombre morning today. At times I ask myself is he really gone? I have accepted and redha of his passing but sometimes when I am at my parents, I cannot help but feel as though he is still around, sitting at his home office getting lost in his work before coming up for a break to play with Ammar.

I have been receiving calls from his good friends. I am reminded each time of what a great man my father was and how joyed he was by Ammar's presence. I can only hope I will be half the man he was. He left me with a medley of memories. All I have left of him, are his memories and no material goods or whatsoever could replace that.

I love you to infinity and beyond Ayah, I hope while I am still travelling in this lifetime, I am able to supplement dua and sedakah for you in shaa Allah.

بِسْـــــــــمِ اَللّهِ الرّحْمن الرّحيم 

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

It has been a week since my father's passing. I never thought I would start penning down my thoughts here again under such circumstances.

 Writing has always been a good outlet for me to express myself. Alhamdulillah, I have been handling my father's passing well. I have my moments but I thank Allah S.W.T for the strength He has given me and my family. 

I am glad my father got to watch Ammar grow for the 9 months that came to past. Although I know Ammar would probably have no memory of my father, I will tell him stories of his grandpa and how he was his Grandpa's pride and joy :) 

#235 Thought I check in...

I am uncertain if anybody still reads this space but many has happened over the past few months of my silence .. Iman and I are expecting our first born insyaAllah.  Another 6 weeks to go insyaAllah before we welcome our precious bub :)


We celebrated our 2nd anniversary on 02.02.2014, Alhamdulillah.

#234 Perhaps this is goodbye....

The silence has been deafening... I am no longer motivated to blog. I feel sad that this once use to be a daily pursuit for me.

Let my pictures do the talking for the moment until That urge to pen down my anecdotes resurface. You can find me on Instagram: Balqiesarafia

Favorite month after February :) Iman and I are bunking at Le Meridien, KL Sentral until this Friday. We've not been in the comforts of our own home since we got back from Singapore.. But I'm not complaining, enjoy being nearer to both parental units and the breathtaking view.. Oh and not forgetting housekeeping service...i'm going to miss being spoiled once we head back to Cyberjaya.

I'm accompanying Iman to Singapore this Sunday for a whole week. I'm stoked with excitement, I've been to Singapore's Changi Airport many times but have only been to Singapore itself once when I was five or six years old... so Singapore show me what you got to offer! 

#226 The Lazy Wife series

Curry Noodles loaded with a medley of vegetables, oyster mushroom, egg tofu, garnished with fried onions and crispy crabstick. 

I've been contemplating on this series for awhile now, and decided to make it a reality rather than just an idea lingering in the depths of my mind. Before I lose you, TLW is dedicated to my cooking escapades using instant ingredients (read: instant noodles, instant pasta sauces, etcetera) and anything that would already be stocked in the storecupboard and fridge. 

Here's to making lazy dishes healthier and more scrumptious..without the extra effort! ;) 

(recipe for Curry Noodles will be up shortly).

On our first wedding anniversary, we headed to Marche Movenpick for dinner. I didn't want to fuss about the night so everything else that happened after dinner was pretty much impromptu. the night was stellar. Alhamdulillah.

#223 Alhamdulillah, we turn 1 today!

"When you're plague with jealousy, you can never really be happy for those who do better than you" - Balqies Arafia

I know it has been too long since my last entry, I am certain I have bore you with my overused phrase "apologies for the lack of substantial updates". honestly, that phrase is wearing thin in the many drafts I've drafted.

On a happier note, our 1 year anniversary as husband and wife is just around the corner, we have yet to decide what our plans will be hopefully dinner and just doing our thing together with perhaps exchange of gifts :)

Alhamdulillah all praises to the Almighty for my wonderful man :) I love him lilahi ta'ala.

I really am content with the course of my life, despite some ups and down at least I know I have Iman to share it with (read: whine to) hehe!

I love you baby :)

Our latest photo, Iman wanted to test out his Iphone5 ;)
