Vogue Fashion Dubai Experience

Last Thursday I traveled to Dubai for Vogue Fashion Dubai Experience, a major fashion event hosted by Mrs. Franca Sozzani, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Italia, and Mr. Mohamed Alabbar, Chairman of Emaar Properties at Dubai Mall. There were so many events that night that I couldn't physically be present at all of them! Imagine a fashion show celebrating emerging talents such as Razan Azzouni, Ashi Studio, and Simon Rocha to name a few, fashion exhibitions, interactive events, celebrity appearances and, of course, plenty of shopping opportunities. You can view some photos of my fashion adventure on my instagram @confashions.

One of the many events I was invited to was Level Shoes District's Let the Shoe Begin. And in a nutshell it was beyond spectacular! I spotted many international fashion icons in the circus/showtime-themed event such as Nicholas Kirkwood, Edgardo Osorio of Aquazurra, Dean and Dan, the twins behind DSquared, designer Phillip Plein, Bollywood favourite Shilpa Shetty,  Sofia Guellaty (one of my favorite style icons and the Senior Editor of Style.com/Arabia and who I had the pleasure to meet with later at the lobby of mu hotel for a friendly chat), Chinese actress and supermodel Cathy Chow and Maya Diab. AND guests were entertained by an exclusive DJ set by music and style sensation Solange Knowles. How cool was that?!! During the evening, I was amused by marvelous and overwhelming shoes selection,  they also had professional mini shows on each corner to entertain guests. I also had a great pleasure chatting with Sofia Guellaty and Laurence Vely of Vanity Fair magazine (French edition). Below you will find some highlights of the evening. 

And then I quickly headed to Symphony Boutique's event held at their store, to celebrate their 3rd birthday, gustes got a preview of their upcoming online shopping site, and guests rubbed shoulders with none other than street style star Miroslava Duma,  the founder of Buro 24/7, a killer lifestyle website. I almost fainted when she complimented my outfit and she was beyond sweet. I was also warmly greeted by Salama AlAbbar and Holly Williams, the dynamic team behind Symphony Boutique.

What makes Vogue Fashion Dubai Experience a meaningful event is that a portion of the proceeds from that fabulous fashion night, went to Dubai Cares, a philanthropic organization working to improve childrenā€™s access to quality primary education in developing countries. I leave you now with highlights of the evening...

Maya Diab... I wish she would tone down her sex appeal a little.

Maya Diab's outfit looks exactly like rihanna's except that riri had those long black lace gloves and pearl necklace.
riri was also wearing similar tights and round glasses.
so the question here is maya trying to be Rihanna?

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
