Outfit Ideas for IRIS at Formula 1

There is a new venue for Formula 1 this year - IRIS from Beirut has officially opened its doors and will be the coolest party destination in town! If you had a blast there last year, I can guarantee this year will be EVEN BETTER with their permanent location on Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi. The venue is bigger, the music is better, and the vibe will be Fabulous. Problem is, what do you wear to such an amazing party that starts in the afternoon and ends at night?? Here are some outfit ideas with tons of tips for both the ladies AND the men! 

LOOK 1: VA VA VOOM While you keep Cool 
VALENTINO Va Va Voom Shoulder bag (Link)
(It's going to be a long day so a bag that sits on your shoulder or a cross body bag is a lot more comfy than a clutch/tote)
ASH Suede and Canvas Wedges (Link)
(Wear comfy shoes that will take you from the race, to IRIS, to the concerts, to the afterparties)

LOOK 2: CASUAL, COMFY, YET OH SO STYLISH! 
SASS & BIDE Crepe Jumpsuit (Link)
(This is light and will keep you cool all day)
ASOS Grecian crown Headband (Link)
(The trick to this look is in the accessories - the more decadent, the more formal you will look)
GORJANA Python Cuff (Link)
REED KRAKOFF Mini Raffia Shoulder bag (Link)
JIMMY CHOO Wedge Sandals (Link)

LOOK 3: FOR HIM 
GUCCI Cotton Polo Tshirt (Link)
(I love the collar on this polo)
LANVIN Slimfit Cotton Trousers (Link)
MINSAI Leather & Meral Anchor Bracelet (Link)
MULBERRY Woven Leather Belt (Link)
(Woven belts are ALOT less formal than rigid leather ones, and are great for casual looks)
ZARA Straw hat (Link)
Y3 trainers (Link)
(The trick to wearing trainers yet not looking too informal is to make sure that the heel is not white. White men's sneakers belong in the gym, not at a lounge)

What will YOU be wearing to IRIS at F1 this Year??

Look FABULOUS this EID

EID is just around the corner and lucky for us in the Middle East, we get a super long week off! Here are a few outfit inspirations to help you decide what to wear for all those family events and fun nights out. None of them is traditional but they are stylish, without being TOO over the top! Enjoy :)

OUTFIT 1
If you want to make a statement this Eid, THIS is the dress for you! It is sequined and a WOW piece on its own, so any accessories need to be complimentary and not clashing. I chose them all in the same colour scheme as the dress, black & gold.



OUTFIT 2
I think this outfit would be perfect for visiting family and friends during the day or for a lunch out. It is comfortable to wear during the day, and its big floral print is bang on trend.

OUTFIT 3
Wear this outfit when you just want to let your hair down and enjoy the really long weekend with friends :)

Hope you have a Fabulous & Fashionable EID :)

Outfits at London Fashion Week

Perhaps more than the clothes on the London Fashion Week runways, I get really excited about show-goer's outfits. London fashion oozes style and everyone is eclectic and different in their own way. You don't usually find two people wearing the same thing because no one ever wears head to toe runway looks. They love to mix and match. Add to that the constant rain, and somehow everyone always looks super put together and FABULOUS! Not a hair out of place! 

London Fashion Week is now over and the fash pack have moved on to Milan, where their outfits will get much more chic and polished. Here are some of my favourite looks from London to inspire your fall/winter wardrobes this season :)

What to Pack for After Sunset Chic

With Eid holidays commencing today and your summer holidays about to start, you might need some inspiration for what to pack. I spend a big chunk of my time travelling so I think I could be of some help :) Yesterday's post was all about what to pack for daytime chic in both beach and city destinations (Click here for a recap). Today it's all about evening glamour! 

Pack dresses or skirts that are light and accessorize with colourful heels, fun clutches and statement jewellery. It's hot in the summer so I don't recommend putting on too much makeup or you might get sweaty and shiny. A great bronzer, some blush, black eyeliner and bold lips are more than enough. If you are not tanned from the beach  or walking the cities during the day, put on some Jergens Natural Glow for a gradual natural tan. Top it all off with shimmery NUXE Huile Prodigieuse. 

Most importantly, have a GREAT time :)

Eid Mubarak Everyone! :)

Daytime Chic on your Eid Holidays

Eid holidays are starting tomorrow -Yay! Are you travelling anywhere special? What are you going to pack? I usually find it easier to pack whole outfits rather than putting lots of items into my luggage and then matching them on my trip. Here is some inspiration for what to pack for beach and city destinations to look chic during the day. Enjoy and Happy Packing! :)

BEACH BEAUTIFUL
Beach destinations are about lounging on the beach or pool with a great book, and friends or family for company. Don't be fooled though - people dress really nicely even when on the beach! Wear a great dress to go to the beach and wear it to lunch or to continue to beach parties (a la Ibiza or Mykonos). Wear a cool swimsuit and instead of a coverup, choose light linen pants or a long skirt. It's a nice twist and will get you lots of attention! Don't forget your sunscreen and a hat - the sun is strong out! 

I SWEAR by this oil spray which keeps my hair super soft and manageable after swimming. It also  protects my hair from UVA & UVB rays

DAYTIME CHIC IN CITY DESTINATIONS
City destinations are usually all about sightseeing, visiting museums and parks, eating out and of course shopping! Wear outfits that are comfortable and made of light materials. I highly recommend carrying a bag that is easy to carry and fits alot. The LAST thing you want is to lug around an uncomfortable, heavy bag! The Selma Bag by Michael Kors is a great option. It has been carried by lots of celebrities to run their daily errands this summer. (Click here for my post on the Selma Bag). 
Wear sunscreen, always keep well hydrated and take tons of pics!

Stay Tuned for tomorrow's post where I will give tips on what to pack for Evening Glamour!

Exceptional Outfits for Ramadan

With Ramadan JUST around the corner, I am sure a lot of you have been frantically shopping to find the PERFECT outfits for all those Iftars and Suhoors. It's a busy month filled with invites and you need to look your best at all times! In Ramadan, and especially in this heat, I love billowing kaftans or maxi dresses teamed with statement jewellery. I'm not talking old-school jalabiyas, I mean really fashionable ones that will make all the other women think, "OMG I want that! Where did she get it from?!" Choose kaftans that are colourful this Ramadan and you will definitely stand out. :)

Here are a few of my favourite picks

Happy Shopping Ladies! :)
