Sunday Shenanigans

I have stumbled across a new designer that has me gasping for breath on the floor like a fish out of water. 

TOUJOURI

Which means "Treasure Chest" in Arabic, just opened a Flagship Store in Doha, Qatar. If you have not seen Qatar, look it up online, it is an amazing place! The designer is Lama El-Moatassem and she seems to be very in tune with the style of her own Middle Eastern Culture while keeping her International senses about her enough to translate her style into something completely ingenious and new. She studied in London and worked for a variety of Fashion Houses before breaking out to design her own line. And here are some of my favorites from her new Spring/Summer 2012 Collection: 

I absolutely love how the fabric delicately fades on this dress! 

This dress is so incredibly fun and vivacious! 

 I think I would wear this every day if I had my way. Pool side too! 

When I saw this dress....enter gasping for breath on the floor like a fish out of water moment! 

 All the bead work is hand done! Breathtaking! 

(Sigh in happiness) This color is awesome! And I love the cut, the bead work...everything about it really!

This one was the kicker for me. I schemed and actually looked into my savings account to see if I could spend every last dollar I have to my name just to buy it! FASHGASM! 

 I adore how the fabric drapes on this dress, it is totally new and still flattering! Fashion Brilliance if you ask me!!! It drapes into a cape in the back!!! (awww. I want! I want! I want!) Sorry inner child temper tantrum : )  (clear throat) I'm good! 

 Cobalt Blue Brilliance! 

 SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! THIS JUST HAPPENED!

 I would die for a dress like this! 

And I am in love! It is official! 

 Super fun dress to go dancing in! 

 Brilliance doesn't cut it anymore....

I don't know about you, but all of this amazing fashion....I am exhausted. Give me a glass of wine and put me to bed! :) Happy Sunday Followers!

Girls night out!

So...a few of my girls friends and I are getting together tonight. We are going to a chic club downtown and I am not really one that frequents dance clubs. So, I am having a hard time finding something to wear...and so I went to one of my favorite places on the internet for fashion inspiration: CHICTOPIA.COM

Loving this skirt, what a wonderful idea to add a shirt that is relatively close in color to add a gentle contrast. Easy and chic!

I LOVE her bravery of wearing white shoes! I have a pair and have literally NEVER worn them because I am so afraid that I will scuff them up. But that is beside the point. I love the vibrant white as a neutral with metallic items = Fashion Genius!

Love the neutrals with fur. Purr-fection! 


So now, I have a few ideas in my head for what to wear! Now...I need to stretch because I don't want to pull a hammy on the dance floor!!! I'm coming girls!
