Happy Weekending!

Sincerely, Team Weekend.

What are your top three clothing staples?

Black pants, a basic white blouse and cropped skinny jeans

Favourite outfit you currently own?

All black is always my go to outfit. If all else fails, I wear black tailored pants with a tucked in shirt, high heels and red lipstick

If you had any fashion designer in the world at your command to create a complete wardrobe for you who would it be and why?

I’m not obsessed with any one specific designer but I do love Ellie Saab as far as couture is concerned his pieces are elegant and timeless. Locally, Saleeha Shah of Uptown will always be my goto!

Your personal style in three words?

Classic, black, and simple

Hannah Bronfman @hannahbgood: We love Hannah’s snaps because the always fashionable DJ takes us out on gigs and also to the gym the next morning because she is also a health/fitness expert showing us workouts we know we should be doing but are too comfortable eating a sandwich in bed instead.

Blake Lively @livelybk: Blake’s snapchat stories feature Ryan, baby James and an inside into her charmed life.

Jealous, us? No.

7 days with QYT!

“Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life. Be positive, have courage and be kind. See you all next week!”

– By Qasim Yar Tiwana –

Day:3 Saniya Q Ali, a socially savvy educationalist, is one of my best friends. She took me and few of her close friends to lunch at The Pantry in Mall One for her birthday. It was such a delightful afternoon with laughs, jokes, heart to hearts and lots more.

We sat there till evening until the waiters started to give us looks (cue to leave! Lol!) Such a get together is like nourishment for one’s soul!

Day:1 The capital city’s most gorgeous girl got engaged to one of Lahore’s most eligible bachelors.

Zarpash is the daughter of our very talented friend and makeup stylist par excellence, Sobia Mustafa. I was handling her big event at the Marriot in Islamabad. Working at the hotel made me very nostalgic. I grew up in Islamabad, at a time when the Marriot was the only decent hotel in the city; it was the venue for family weddings and musical nights of greats such as NusratFateh Ali Khan, Zille Huma and Adnan Sami. It’s always a good feeling to look back at your happy childhood and the great memories it has given you. Anyhow Zarpash’s event was fabulous and she looked absolutely gorgeous.

At the end of the day, what matters to me is that my hard work is appreciated and my client is smiling and getting complimented on a great event.

Day:2 The next day in the capital city, my good friend Samina Lakhani, who runs Abrams by the name of Ala, was hosting her first year celebrations with her business partner SabeenShaban. I attended the event with my friend Rezz to congratulate these wonderful ladies on their success and achievement.

Day: 5

It was a beautiful sunny day and I had absolutely nothing to do! The kind of daythat rarely comes in my life, so I thought I should go out and check out all the malls in Lahore.

I concluded that Gulberg Galleria is hands down one of the best in town, it has all the top local brands and few of the best coffee shops. I enjoy doing these things alone, so it wasall very relaxing and therapeutic for me.

Day: 6&7 It’s my birthday! I personally want to thank all my beautiful friends from fashion, the social scene, my NCA lot and my family. My brother cut his trip to Istanbul short, just for my birthday, and flew in to Lahore directly. His new obsession, the selfie-stick, was a fun addition in getting pictures taken.

My birthday was in all a fun filled evening where all the people I love gathered at The Cube in Lahore’s fabulous Nishat hotel.

My friends Tony, Farzeen of Rani Emaan and Jugnu Waseem specially came from Islamabad for my birthday. Reema and Resham were also in attendance and looked fantastic. The delicious cake was by Muneeze Khalid.
