New look's AW12 Collection Launch (Wall to Wall Fashion)

I was recently invited to New Look's Autumn/Winter '12 collection launch (titled 'Wall to Wall Fashion' ) by the lovely people down at the Fifth Ring PR. 
Held at the Almas Tower at the Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT), the event was nicely set up and very cosy with an impressive line up of media reps and bloggers. 
The collection was divided into various sections: Spellbound that included with studs and houndstooth patterns, The Kelly Brook collection which consisted of more romantic and pin-up style pieces, Get Carter collection with owls, polka dots and more printed pieces just to name a few. Other collections had rocker style pieces with lots of studded details and leather and a party wear collection with cocktail dresses with an impressive amount of detail. Each of these collections included and Inspire line which is New Look's 18-26 range.
Apart from the Women wear collections, there was a Menswear selection (Pioneer, Sweeny Todd and Eton Mess) as well as a range for New Look's Generation 915 (9-15yrs).

The over all running themes for the whole launch were studs, mixed fabrics (leather+lace, denim+leather etc) as well as returning themes such as polka dots, owls, peplum tops and collared blouses.

I was definitely impressed by how well the whole event was organized. The very charming and enthusiastic Shaye Ueckermann from Fifth Ring PR showed us around the whole room in through detail and answered all our questions.
All attendees walked away with very generous gifts of an iPad case, scarf and 250 DHS vouchers from New Look. 

Over all a fun and fashionable event that I was glad to be a part of on behalf of the Wear Everyday blog.

OOTD: Outfit of the Day - Newlook's Wall to Wall Fashion event

I was recently invited to the Newlook Autumn Winter '12 Launch event in Dubai (more on that in a dedicated post) and this is what I wore. 
I really wanted to keep it simple and feminine but current at the same time. I opted to wear this dress from BHS that I got in the Boxing Day sales last year and never really got a chance to wear. I paired it with black leggings from Newlook. 
Instead of going the all-black route, I thought it would be fun to pick an accent colour for the main accessories. My clutch and peep-toe heels were both a very unique shade of coral and both from Newlook. As for the jewelry, I kept it minimal and simple with Swarovski bracelets, a small gold pendant and a statement feather ring from Newlook.
I finished my look with a messy side bun, a coral lipstick (MAC Viva Glam Cyndi), black eyeliner with very natural conturing and H&M Lilac Plum on my nails.

I am STILL working on the post about the event but that will be up in a day or two!

Scroll down for more pictures.






Hope you enjoyed this look! Let me know what you thought of it and if you would like to see more OOTDs on here!
Special thanks to Ulfat for the amazing photography and Nada and Sara for being such amazing stylists!! ;)

NOTD Nails of the Day + H&M Nailpolishes

Ive been doing a bit of shopping for an upcoming event (more about that in a few days. VERY exciting!) and while looking around in H&M this little nailpolish trio caught my eye. I have never really tried H&M beauty products or nailpolishes before so I wasn't really sure what to expect. By the way the colour variety they have is pretty amazing.
So coming back to this little trio. How perfect is this for autumn/winter? Berry shades are big in the coming season and I thought these would be great to wear in the wintery months as well as add an exciting pop of colour rather than wearing dull and boring shades.

The trio contains a really nice deep plum, Lilac Plum (my fav!), a red, Red Head (perfectestest red ever!) and a slightly dark pink (Pink Preppy). They apply really well and really smoothly and just one coat does the trick. I have one coat of Lilac Plum on my nails at the moment and I am sure I don't own any similar shades to this!

I wanna know though, what are your favourite shades for the upcoming AW season?

NOTD - Nails Of The Day: Louboutin French Mani

Well, if I can't have a pair of the real deal, might as well be wearing it in some way right? Thought I would give my own twist to the regular (boring?) french mani and what better combination than red and black!

I used Barry M Black for the base and 17 cosmetics Knockout Red for the tips.
