70 October 2013 www.womanthismonth.com Blonde in Bahrain: Georgina Jennsen “I’ve lived in Bahrain for over 15 years; I really wanted to showcase the amazing things that can be found on this island that has become my home. It’s also very relevant to my fulltime job as a university tutor. I teach communication for web media, and it gives me the chance to practise what I preach.” Favourite blog: Liberty London Girl. Sasha Wilkens writes with authority and intelligence. She gets invited to the most amazing places! In the near future: I’ll attend a blogging conference in San Francisco in October, run by iFabbo (International Fashion and Beauty Bloggers Organisation). I’m super excited. I hope that it will take Blonde in Bahrain to the next level. The Style Council: Ashwathy Shyamkumar “By maintaining a blog, I’ve now become more aware of the fashion world. I’ve made so many friends along the journey. People now recognise me and I even get stopped in the mall sometimes and asked if I’m Ashwathy from The Style Council.” Biggest challenge: Having a full time job usually takes up my time. I save the weekends to blog my looks. Not being able to post regularly has been one of the challenges, but then Instagram came along. Describe your style: Always changing. My style depends on my mood. Sometimes I’ll be dressed in soft delicate printed dresses and heels. Another day, I’m wearing worn out jeans with an oversized tee and a messy top knot. A Day in the Sandbox: Amal and Maha Al Mulla “One of us had a day job away from a dream, while the other was already studying fashion. We decided to combine our interests and come up with a diary that not only revolves around fashion, but personalise it and mould it into a place that shows both our personalities and interests.” Personal style is: The way people dress up in their day to day lives is the true definition of their style! It is in those quick and fast-paced moments where a person’s style really interprets their individuality as opposed to the planned lavish outfits worn at events and parties. What we don’t know: We both own a fashion label, Amalalmulla Follow Me! It’s hard to miss the buzz that the local blogging community has been creating this year. Here’s our round-up of who we think are the best in the fashion zone. Blondes have more fun Sister ACT style crush LIFESTYLE | special
