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.

Biggest H&M store - Emirates Mall, Dubai

I recently visited the biggest H&M store in the world which is located in the Emirates Mall in Dubai. Didn't end up buying much but I thought I would show you around the store through some pictures that I took. It was pretty much similar to any other H&M store but with lots and lots of variety and bigger sections for everything including bags and shoes. The new AdR at H&M collection was on display too. Enjoy the pictures! :)

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!! ;)

OOTD: Outfit of the Day - Casual Sunday

Just had a casual coffee date with the girls and this is what I decided to wear. I thought it would be fun to add a pop of pastel colours to a rather grey outfit. 

By the way, I have lots of new posts coming up since I recently attended the Newlook Autumn/Winter collection launch in Dubai. More on that later. 

I did discover two new high street brands while I was there (I might be late on this, bear with me). The first one was SuiteBlanco which a Spanish company. The style was very chic, fun and affordable. The other one was Cotton On (which had an amazing sale on btw) that was a very colourful yet practical and wearable brand that originates from Australia.

Anyway! Here is what I wore:

Black top (underneath): Splash

Grey Hi-Low Top: Cotton On 

Jeans: Newlook

Black studded pumps: SuiteBlanco

Bag: Suite Blanco

Arrow Bracelet: Forever21
