I am happy that we are witnessing the age of Arab Spring. Not because of the change of regimes. But because these uprisings helped us to view the hidden truth about Hezbollah group and the Brotherhood group in Egypt. I am not a politician or a rebel. Yet, I am an Arab and a Sunni Muslim. I believe in honesty , humanitarianism and peace. What is happening in Syria and Egypt is killing me from the inside. I can not believe that the true feature for both groups is devilish. They defend their absurd ideologies by barbaric killing of innocent people. People that share with the same religion- Islam.
No one denies that both Egypt and Syria are two significant countries in the Arab World. Egypt is the heart of the Arab World. Egypt is country of moderate Islam. Syria has the oldest Islamic capital - Damascus. Besides, Syria has an important strategic geographic position in the Middle East.
The killings and the clashes in these countries should stop. Not because it is near Ramadan. However, thousands of innocent lives were the price for a clash in ideas.
I will leave you with a link for an incident that happened in Egypt yesterday that shattered me . May God bless the souls of the victims and settle peace in these two countries.
I can not deny that I adore Zara. Since that we are not planning to travel this summer. I decided I would style my Ramadan wardrobe from Zara and other brands. I will reveal them in other posts later Each season Zara is proving that it is developing more and more. In addition, it proves that you can keep chic on a small budget ! This season Zara is full of inspirations for Ramadan lovely family evenings and visits. I chose the following items that you can style in different ways to make the perfect outfit for a stylish fashionista in Ramadan. Here are my selections

Today I decided to wear those Funky shoes in royal blue for summer. Those Julian Hakes Mojito shoes started actually as a ladies footwear concept.
early images of the later-to-be Mojito shoes
Later, the images of This Londoner architect gone viral. It almost took him two years to refine every delicate, sculptural curve and twist to make this a very light,
comfortable and elegant design. Those Mojito shoes have been released in a variety of lovely color combinations. They are truly comfy and easy to wear and rock the street .
Various color combinations
My Mojitos
If you are planning to travel in Dubai, you would find them stocked in Level Shoe District in Dubai mall. In addition you would find them sold online. One of the online stockists are:
When I passed by the recently opened shop of Uterique, in Landmark, I decided to visit it. I love this brand. Its designs are really subtle and serene. Their choices of color for this season are so summery. With a touch of yellow and orange together with a glimpse of blue and gold welcoming the long-waited summer. I liked the following pair of shoes.
Its similar to another pair by Chanel hitting the stores for this season.

Christian Siriano
Christian Siriano is an American fashion designer. He was the winner of the fourth season of the American TV show " Project Runaway" . I only paid attention to this talented designer, after viewing photos of New York Fashion Week (NYFW) 2013. His Spring/Summer 2013 Collection is amazing. This collection reflects a "dream ballet". It embodies how a ballerina goes off to practice. The hair-do and make up are so simple yet nice. The hair was tasseled into lovely buns. The make had a natural finish that is legere as a ballerina's dance ! The colors he selected for this collection breathes the bloom of spring and the youth of summer.
What I liked most about this collection are the shoes. He is a master of creativity. The designs of the shoes complements with the dream ballet he created on the runway stage. They are crystallized and some had a half naked heels combined with golden lines on the bottom. In addition, he choose pastel colors like : baby pink and baby blue. In addition, he cleverly combined the trend of hologram together with crystals. I totally loved the details. I could not resist ordering the shoes for me and my sisters. Although I missed my sizing in the silver crystalized sling backs. As those shoes are limited. That is, they are shoes created for the runway show only.
I am crossing my fingers to get my sizes from his fall 2013 collection. This collection is inspired by the Russian glamour. The main colors of this collection is gold and black. It contains hand-beaded embellished dresses.It will be released before the end of this year. I will leave you with the pics. Enjoy

Parabel Gurung for Target
I was really waiting for this collaboration. Parabel Gurung designs are marvelous. His prints, and cuts are beyond creativity. I would not brag if I said that I nearly had sleepless nights waiting for this collection to be released.
Finally, on 10th Feb 2013, Target released this collection. My two sisters and I ordered the full collection except the jewelry part. The colors were really melanged perfectly.
My most favorite piece of the collection were the digitally rose printed blazer and the sky blue leather jacket. Needless to mention, the quality is perfect! The collection was sold out quickly.
I have some items which I need to sell because the size was small. If you are interested drop me an email. Enjoy the photos !
