Oscar De La Renta Grand Opening in Jeddah

Two weeks ago I attended the opening of the first Oscar de la Renta boutique in Jeddah, at the recently opened boulverad. The opening was being hosted by Saudi stylist Aram Kabbani, who welcomed her guests and showed them the newest collection. Of course I fall in love with the boutique, so many unbelievably outstanding gowns. They also have a corner for kids couture which was my favourite part of the store, at that moment I wished I had a daughter so I could dress her up with these beautiful baby dresses. They also had exclusive perfumes and selected pieces of accessories. Oscar De La Renta was and will always be one of my top favourite designers, that I will always want to have a piece of his design, to have it for myself and give it to my future daughter.

Splash launches Summer ‘15 and Eid collection in Egypt

last week we attended the launch of Splash Summer Collection 2015 in the presence of our gorgeous star Nicole Saba at Dusit Thani Hotel, Cairo. It was a lovely event, very well organized by Landmark who welcomed us very warmly, we love to attend Splash and iconic parties from Cairo to Jeddah and Dubai. It was an eventful night with cool crowd and perfect music and of course the charm of the Lebanese Diva Nicole Saba. We had a preview of the new Summer/Eid  collection, with all its vivid and colorful floral print. We loved the comfy fashionable jumpsuits, for me they are an essential asset in the summer as they are suitable for all occasions. There were also some elegant short lace dresses that you can simply add a  piece of splash’s bold accessories to spice it up, and effortlessly create a fashionable outfit. 
The Men’s collection was pretty impressive as well. After a while the stunning star made her entrance into the Lakeview ball room. We liked the bright colored summer collection at the new launch and managed to bring you some photos for the beautiful Nicole Saba and for Splash Summer Collection 2015. 
We always look forward to Splash’s events throughout the year as they never stop amazing us!

Saffron Bistro: Restaurant Review

You really need to hear about our experience at this Italian restaurant, Saffron Bistro. This restaurant is just perfect, the service exceeded our expectations and the food was Divine! Thanks to the Italian Chef Angelo, I had one of the best meals of Italian food that I've ever had in my life. Angelo is really a perfectionist when it comes to what he will send out of the kitchen. Not only the food was cooked to perfection but it was also plated in a very appealing way. My only regret is that I didn't know about this restaurant before. The decoration was so elegant and cozy and it serves liquor for those who like to chill out and have a drink with a snack after a long stressful day. On the same evening we had a chance to have a little chat with Nihal Said, owner and restaurant manager of Saffron Bistro in Al Guezira plaza, Cairo, Egypt. She is the one who’s running this family business. The name of the restaurant is inspired by the universal spice, Saffron, that’s been used in many different cuisines like the Iranian, Indian, Spanish and French. Prices are really reasonable as Nihal wanted to attract all categories of people, even the employees who may come on their lunch time to have a quick bite. Providing customers with an outstanding dining experience is Nihal’s passion and main goal. She believes that the foundation of an outstanding meal rests in its ingredients. Therefore, she goes the extra mile to ensure serving healthy meals to her customers using the freshest highest-quality ingredients. Saffron Bistro is highly recommended to everyone! We brought you some photos of the place and the main dishes we had at that night. Enjoy!

Makeup Forever New Pro Bronze Fusion

10 days ago I received a package from Makeup Forever with two of their newest products, The Pro Bronze Fusion. in two different shades 30 M Sienna and number 35I Caramel. To be honest these two awesome bronzers just came in time for me. It is summer already and I am still looking pale from this harsh cold winter we had this year. Although I was moving between Cairo, Jeddah and The states but the weather this year was so cold, and I didn't have the time to get a proper tan. So for the last 10 days I have been using the Makeup forever religiously, and girls I have to tell you it is awesome. It gives you a natural looking bronze look, that's healthy and shiny for a summer look. It doesn't turn orange on my face which happens to me with a lot of other bronzers in the market. Also I was using the Makeup forever mini kabuki brush that fits perfect in your everyday makeup bag. That brush helps blend in the bronzer on your check with the rest of the makeup without showing any brush strokes, or the infamous contour rectangle that looks awuful if not bleneded well.

 The Pro Bronze fusion collection comes in 6 different shades divided into two groups the Luminous Matte for flawless undetectable nude finish, and lightly iridescent for a warm glowing complexion. You can find it in Dubai, KSA, Qatar, Kuwait and Egypt as well for the price of 180 Derhams and what is equivalent in other currencies.
