I can't believe that Johnny Rockets in Karachi has turned 1 and I've only just gotten round to checking it out. They held a bloggers meet recently and I finally tried their burgers and shakes.

FPW amps up the fashion fever on Day 2!

The show had a refined, high fashion feel.

Day 2 of Fashion Pakistan Week brought some exceptional collections to the ramp. This was a strong day on paper and delivered on that promise. The designers showing had very different styles but, barring a couple of exceptions, each delivered on their own aesthetic. From the eastern elegance of Sanam Chaudry to the edgy glamour of Shehla Chatoor, there was plenty to love on Day 2 of FPW.

Maheen Khan's swan song takes FPW out on a high!

FPW ended on a wonderful note and young council deserves praise for a well-planned and vibrant fashion week

Day 3 of Fashion Pakistan Week Autumn Winter 2014 was a poignant affair, ending with what may be the last ever ramp show by Maheen Khan – the doyenne of Pakistani Fashion. While the finale was a celebration of the stellar ability of one of Pakistan’s most senior designers, the rest of the evening was about the best of young Pakistani design talent.
Day 3 saw excellent shows by some of the young designers who personify the current vibrancy of the Pakistani fashion scene. They displayed originality, skill and technique in collections that were both striking and diverse.

Kerastase is a hair care regime that claims to be different

I’m in danger of becoming a Kerastase junkie. On of the lovely perks of my job is that you get to try all sorts of fabulous treatments and the folks at Kerastase have let me try their rituals not once but twice. I have to say I’m a total convert and am considering buying some of their home care products with my hard-earned cash.

Have you seen the Vogue Paris Doll editorial in their Christmas issue? If not, brace yourselves - it's gorgeous and inspired! Fashion has had a thing for dolls recently - vis Moschino's Barbie collection - but Vogue Paris' "Panoplies" (meaning outfits) editorial takes the whole doll idea to a new level.

Blocked's fun Lego Kurtas for boys

Eastern wear for boys is generally so boring. The only options are plain kurtas or embroidered ones that have a 'little shezada' or 'shaadi' vibe. Those may look adorable to the older generation but young boys tend to find them boring.

Aiming to provide an affordable range of quality pret with designer flair, Sapphire is hoping to emulate the sort of fast fashion model that international retail giants Zara use.

The first Sapphire store opened its doors this Friday at Dolmen mall, at a media launch that turned into a shopping frenzy. Media and close friends were invited to shop, which they did with enthusiasm, but general mall goers also crashed the launch. They may have come to get a first look at the long-awaited store but once in, they stayed to shop.
