Happy Ramadan to all of you my beautiful readers. For me it is the best time of the year,  I am loving that year by year our celebration with the Holly month are getting bigger and bigger.

A Ramadan Thobe with a twist

Thobes or Jalabyas have become synonymous with Ramadan, it started with the Gulf and Saudi Arabia, as it was part of their culture till recently it became somehow popular in Egypt as well. I am sure you have seen a lot of pretty kaftans everywhere this year, but today I am bringing you a very talented designer that has taken the thobes to another level. 

Saudi designer Turk Jadallah the founder and the designer behind OT Kutyr fashion house is very famous for his outstanding Haute Couture line, he has dressed celebrities at the Carnival of Cannes, and he is very well known for his sophisticated designs, however this Ramadan Jadallah launched his latest Ramadan 2013 collection, which consist of 10 different jumpsuits using different fabrics such . The jumpsuits are mainly black and off white with golden embroidered pieces topping them, which for some pieces he used the gold metals studs which are trending these days. Going through his unusual collection for Ramadan this year, Turki says: ‘the jumpsuit is more practical than the Jalabyas and Thobes, it can be worn in Ramadan and after it at any occasion during the whole year, and that encouraged me to use both the black and off white. And I aim to encourage the young ladies to revive our traditions and heritage that the modern fashion trends have taken them away from.

NOLA Giant Ramadan Cupcakes

Happy Ramadan to all of you. Ramadan is one of my favourite months in the whole year. It's the month that I get to see almost all of my relatives, friends, gather for iftar and sohour..and those weekend nights where I just chill with my friends and watch some s=Egyptian series and have some desserts and Karkadeh :)

As you all may know that I am addicted to NOLA cupcakes, like I can have enough of them, for me they are like the best cupcakes in the world, so for Ramadan I always have an internal struggle between having a cupcake or having a piece of that konfa bel Manga, and the other oriental desserts. Thank God NOLA helped me end that struggle, as they have just  launched the Grand Cupcake, in honor of the holy month’s grand traditions.So in addition to the regular flavors, the Grand Cupcake will be available in all of NOLA’s new Ramadan sensations that put a twist on the traditional oriental tastes. NOLA’s cupcake flavors for Ramadan are Konafa Manga, Balah (dates), Tehina bel Assal el Iswid wil Marraba, (Tahini with molasses and jam), Aeysh Saraya and Amar El Deen.

will be available in all of NOLA’s current menu flavors to match every taste, and customers can freely
customize their Grand cupcake with a special message or design to suit any occasion.
