Even though I love spending hours going through rails of clothing at stores, I much prefer to have it cut out for me and have someone give me outfits that would suit me. That's exactly what this Personal Shopper experience did. I had earlier booked my birthday appointment for today the 24th of May at Topshop, Mall of the Emirates and the lovely Personal Shopper, Ms.Monique Martch called me back and asked for what in particular I was looking for and I told her that I was shopping for my birthday and she said she would pick out some dresses, skirts etc




I headed out and first impressions were that the suite was private, stunning interiors and definitely welcoming as I then met Monique who by the way is the sweetest person I have ever come across and definitely knows what style is. You can bring along your friends to help take pictures of you while you dress up and even dress up themselves as I brought along 3 of my friends. There's a cute little table with goodies to eat like candy and red velvet cupcakes as well as magazines and some gorgeous accessories.


 Monique quickly introduced herself and showed us around and she showed me the dresses she had picked out for me and I started trying on outfits.

 my article which I was working on for the publication I recently started working in has been published and this has honestly been the best news I've received in a very long time. I'm working on another one about fashion forward, the event that took place last month and that should be finished soon. Do check out my article here: http://www.aslanmedia.com/arts-culture/mideast-culture/21288-making-fashion-saucy-uae-s-s-uce-boutique-helps-local-talent-shine

Leave a comment if you would like to and do check out S*uce Boutique! They offer international shipping for free I think and they have some great local designers and international so you might find something you like.

Due to the lack of fashion week in Dubai, a new fashion platform was opened up for the very first time this year between 26-29 April at Madinat Jumeirah. It includes fashion shows by local designers, panel talks such as from tutor Toby Meadows from LCF whom I had as a teacher when I attended my LCF short course in Dubai last year and pop up shops. I am extremely excited and cannot wait to attend this 4 day convention and I will be covering the event for the publication I was recently hired for as well. You can still register at http://fashionforward.ae/?page_id=32 but hurry up because spaces are limited!

I really am sorry for not updating this blog. Studying at an IB school isn't exactly the easiest curriculum to do and I get hoarded with lots of assignments but I should probably manage my time more better. Either ways I recently sat down and applied for a writing position for a local online publication and I had to create my first resume! I have no idea whether it was the right format and what not but it got me the job along with some other pieces of work I sent in so I must have done something right. I would view this as my biggest achievement until this point as I will be regularly writing articles for their style section. I have the sweetest boss ever and my first article will be published in a few days so keep your eye on my blog because I'll post the link to it here.
