MENSWEAR INSPIRED REEM BOWQAIS - EID DAY 2

Hello Luvies,

For the 2nd day of Eid I wore a menswear inspired outfit complete with a bow tie that I stitched myself! I loved my resorts' collection print fabric so much and since I had a few scraps I decided to make a bow tie. I found it really easy to make the bow tie and ended up making a few more. It was an awesome outfit and I got many compliments on it, especially the bow tie :)

I wore a light blue H&M blouse with the bow tie that I stitched myself, hot pink Zara cigarette pants, white Stradivarius heels and a Collard Manson clutch. For accessories I wore my colorful Haraka watch and some simple accessories to compliment the outfit.

CITY SLICKER STYLIN

 With my continuos love for New York City comes this Taxi tee from Zara I just HAD to get it, and what happens when you buy new clothes you love and meet up with a fellow fashion blogger? Yup you got that right, Photo Styling comes about aka a PHOTOSHOOT :)

I met up with Shabana from The Silver Kick Diaries and before dinner we decided to have a mini shoot of our outfits and her cool convertible. I wore the Zara tee like I mentioned above, with a Mango Blazer and Skinny Jeans from Stradivarius. I also wore a beaded collar on top of the tee which I bought at the Autumn Fair last month. Collars have become a fave for me, it can instantly bring an outfit alive! Think about it, without the collar my outfit would have just been a jeans, top and blazer kinda outfit. I highly suggest investing in cool collars ;) 

Loved the lil edge the beaded collar gave to the outfit, I just like to mix different elements when putting outfits together, don't you?

When shooting in the convertible I went for a different feel with my Marilyn Monroe Scarf, I wanted a vintage feel like the old days when women would ride around with scarves on their heads and big shades (since it was night time I couldn't really put shades on but I do have another shoot in mind which will def include shades and you'll love it!)

BIRTHDAY BLUES

Hello Luvies,

Yes you read that right Birthday Blues! But not blues as in depressed blues but blues as in on my outfit! Another year another birthday but this time it's in Bahrain! For the past 5 years I've been living out of Bahrain therefore have not been able to celebrate it with friends and family here, not this year though. For my birthday I went to brunch at Riffa Views with my lovely parents then we decided to check out Al Basta Market. A little market by Riffa Views showcasing local business's that runs on weekends. They change the business's on the stalls every few months to give other business's a chance to showcase their things. Alas it's a very cute little setting, I recommend you to go have a look for yourself. 

Ok back to my outfit, when shopping for a birthday outfit I was drawn to the color blue, I don't know why, I just was! So when putting an outfit together while shopping, it was very easy for me to put a look together as everything that was catching my eye was BLUE! I went for a navy blue gem printed dress with blue suede heels from Zara and a beautiful pearls and stones necklace and pearl bracelet from Seham's Collection. I loved the look! it was classy, elegant and cute. 

how cute is this? love the colorful fake leaves!

We went to visit my sis after our lil basta market adventure and I put my lime flats on, had to rest my feet a lil bit :)

And finally my balloons!! LOVE LOVE LOVE them! My sis, owner of BalloonCreationz created them for me and I just LOVE them, the colors, the details! How cute is she for putting New York and the empire state building on one of the balloons? and the ballon weight is a sparkly HEEL, super cute!

And my lovely Fashionable earrings gifted by my bestie and her hubby, LOVE them, they're sooo me <3

And that wraps up my birthday celebrations, I leave you with my blue suede heels ;)
