MY BLACKBERRY JOURNAL

noreply@blogger.com (mahryska) — Thu, 31 May 2012 05:48:00 +0000

editing is a part of my life

a couple of days ago, i kick started my blackberry journal. being a blackberry superfan, i am sharing my life with you and my journey with my beloved blackberry. i obviously love photography and when you look at my blackberry, the applications that you see are mostly for photos.

i have downloaded photo studio pro which i am currently enjoying at the moment. i also have lensboost and molome. these are just a few of my personal favorites coz of their amazing filters and effects.

my blackberry journal will basically just give an insight into my life, small details that i love, where i am, what im doing and random things that make me smile. will also be sharing my blackberry snaps on facebook and twitter as well..

i have always been a canon baby

DAILY INSPIRATION

noreply@blogger.com (mahryska) — Tue, 29 May 2012 10:41:00 +0000

for today's inspiration is pure benetton. as you may all know, i am one of benetton's ambassadors here in dubai and i so love this look from their current lookbook. very refreshing indeed. great nude colors, casual fit and very relaxed perfect for this season.

this is the kind of look you will find me in around town, either for a photoshoot, a day at the mall or doing my errands. hopefully i can share more outfit posts with you in the coming few days since i am rightfully back on track with my schedule.

yes, another event missed and i so regret it. but unfortunately work comes in first in my world and even though i so wanted to go, i had submissions to worry about and missed out on this amazing session with fellow bloggers.

i am of course one of the faces for the bloggers ceecode campaign so it was a real shame i was not there but happy to have had a sneak peak at their facebook page on what i missed. the bags are just absolutely gorgeous as usual. believe me, they are one of a kind and definitely a treasure to have. i am yet to enjoy and have my very own TAXI clutch and seriously cannot wait to have it in my closet...
