Royauté Design

Royauté Design is a UAE based label created by Aysha S, a young and creative fashion designer who have stepped in the hard and competitive world of modern fashion.
As a UAE national, Aysha understands what all problems ladies face when it comes to Islamic fashion. Wearing only plain abaya can be boring, women nowadays are looking for something trendy and stylish. So she has used her creativity to offer something which is really fashionable, chic and classy for women in Arab and Islamic countries. Here are some of her gorgeous designs:

 The Coloré Collection is a casual chic abaya line.

The Eleganzo Classica Collection is more sophisticated.

The Zarri Collection is a collection of cocktail dresses, made from sari fabric.

I have been sent a lovely abaya from the Coloré Collection, the "Tanji Beiji" a Chinese inspired style. The main feature of this straight cut abaya is the mix of velvet (on the neckline, sleeves and belt to tie) and paisley print silk details. It fits perfectly and the quality of the fabric is very good, which makes the abaya very comfortable to wear. And I love the golden signature of Royauté Deisgn on the back, very chic... It comes with a matching shayla.

Here's some style inspirations:

Make sure you visit Royauté Deisgn Facebook page here, they have amazing designs, and special offers until July 13th!!!

The Abaya Company

Hello dolls, this is my second review for The Abaya Company (a Dubai based label), and I must say that I'm in love with their designs. Lucky me, I was sent two stunning abayas... First, the monochrome abaya (read the review here), and now this gorgeous piece...

This lovely abaya with golden sequin details on the shoulders is part of their "budget abaya" line, priced between 300 and 400 AED (totally worth it!!!). It is a straight cut closed abaya with drawstring on the neckline and elastic acted waist, there's a belt to tie and it comes with a matching shayla. It is one of this season best seller. I like it because it is simple, feminine and classy so you can wear this super chic abaya for day and night. And it is perfect for Ramadan gatherings...

If you're looking for something simple yet classy, a day-to-night outfit, this is the perfect choice. You can order yours here, and check out all their stunning designs.

This is how I've styled it yesterday for a dinner:

The Abaya Company "A Black & White Affair"

Hi Lovelies!!! I hope you're doing well...

I was sent this gorgeous abaya from The Abaya Company, to review. I was really excited when I received it and got even more excited when I've tried it on. The monochrome abaya called "A Black & White Affair" is part of the Premium Collection, it fits perfectly and is made of high quality. As you can see on the pictures below, this is a black and white front open abaya, with wide sleeves that you attach with buttons around your wrist. This stunning piece is decorated with the right amount of metallic studs to give the whole look an edge. Designed and tailored in Dubai, it comes also with a matching shayla. I really love this abaya as it is very different from all the designs around. It is stylish and very comfortable to wear and suitable for special or formal occasion.

This is how I've styled it for a gathering, with red jeans, a pair of black Louboutin and my red Louis Vuitton Sunset Boulevard clutch bag, and I got so many compliments!!! Of course there is so many other ways to rock this beauty ;)

If you're looking for something different than the usual classic plain black abaya, this one is definitely what you need in your closet. It is pretty, elegant and unique, and good news: it is also affordable!!! (Premium Range Abayas are priced between 600 AED and 800 AED).

Check out The Abaya Company Facebook page here, they have gorgeous abayas!!! All designs can be customized (your choice of color, size, material...) to suit your style and they do ship worldwide (shipment prices depend on location).

I love shoes! YSL, Valentino. Charlotte Olympia are so much fun as well.

I bought a beautiful pair of tribal inspiration Sergio Rossi, and a classic black pair of YSL ankle pumps.

Chanel Lego clutch, it's top notch!

Favorite piece of jewelry you like to wear?
Earrings and bracelets. I love gladiator cuffs, but must be worn on both arms!

Flats or heels?
As much as I wear my sky rocketing high heels everyday at work, my all time preference are flats. Specially Havaianas. They are the easiest to get around with and can do no wrong.

Makeup Storage Ideas

Hello my loves!!! I hope you had a beautiful day. Today's post is about Makeup Storage. I love makeup and like all makeup lovers I have a lot of beauty products (we always want more, right?!), and I always try to find the best way to organize all those lippies, blushes, nail polishes...
Here are some ideas I wanted to share with you. Let's get inspired :)

The Vanity Tray:

 A vanity tray gives a touch of class to your vanity dresser, or bedside table.

You can put on it your favorite perfumes, a candle and some flowers...

 ...or your everyday makeup.

 It's a lovely way to display your favorite nail polishes also.

 So petty!!!

Perfect way to display your perfumes (this vanity tray is available on Etsy.com)

This Anna Sui Makeup Tray is just so cute!!!

Acrylic Drawers for Makeup:

 Acrylic Storage Drawers by Muji.

(This one is on my wishlist!!!)

I love that they're clear, so you can see exactly what you have.
