I'm one of those who likes to put my recipes online so I could access them when I'm cooking overseas. I'm expecting a friend for lunch so I quickly thought of beef stroganoff as a perfect dish for a sumptuous meal. As I searched on my site for this recipe, I've realized I haven't posted it yet. With my camera to keep me company, I'm writing a post about this today. This recipe is so easy to make. Enjoy!
I'm so excited to share this news with you! I have perused the West Elm U.S. website so many times always wishing they'd open a store in the United Arab Emirates. When I found out West Elm indeed opened their first stylish furniture store in Dubai, I was ecstatic, that I immediately dressed up and literally drove 40 km away to Dubai Mall to check out the store for myself.
West Elm originated in Brooklyn, New York in 2002. Since then, it has become a popular destination for design afficionados in North America. Alshaya brought the brand in the Middle East with its first store opening in Kuwait, October of last year. The same company that made Pottery Barn available to the Gulf region. The West Elm Dubai Mall branch just opened last Saturday, 23rd February 2013.
Location: Lower Ground Level of Dubai Mall (Former Index Living Mall) near Waitrose

I have a design crush on Chinoiserie lately. I once featured stylish wallpaper from Fromental that best illustrates this design. Chinoiserie is a french term for Chinese-esque. A European artistic style reflecting Chinese design influences that started in the 17th Century. To know more about Chinoiserie click here.

It's the first weekend where the house is silent. After a week of laughter, baby cries and busy meals at the long dining table, and kids screaming running around with all that energy bouncing off the walls, I can't help missing the happy mess.
I'd like to share here one morning activity where my niece and nephew explored their creative side with Aquarelle.

Since January, when I started the De-cluttering Series, I've been simplifying things around the house. This includes the daily skin regimen. I usually feel naked without makeup. However, my aim is to focus more on simplifying what I apply on my face daily.
I'm currently looking forward to my in-laws' visit and one-week stay at home, I'll definitely be cooking up a storm all week. When I look at my current kitchen, the only colorful collection I could find are travel magnets on the fridge. I have a tea bag painting that I intend to hang up on the wall. When I saw this image, I knew I had to post this -A Bohemian themed artwork can spice up a dull modern kitchen counter.
It's in my list of places to visit: The Farm, a luxury eco-friendly restaurant tucked away within an oasis of greens and manicured lawns along Emirates Road in Dubai. It's located within the residential community of Al Barari. The tropical foliage against the desert landscape creates a cocoon around this hidden design gem.

The Farm is a project designed by Lesley Zaal, co-founder of Etcetera Living - one of my favorite Interior Designers based in Dubai. Etcetera Living also has a gorgeous furniture boutique along Jumeirah Beach Road.
