Elissa...a statement elegance. XFactor Arabia

Talent shows have become a big window for celebrity judges to show off their style sense away from the stage. One of the judges who really caught my attention is Elissa, I've waited for few episodes to appear to be able to judge her style and how she is maintaining it through out the lives. In my opinion Elissa, among all celebs wore the best wardrobe so far, she worked on her full look every time, make up by Bassam Fattouh and hair by Yahia & Zakaria both lebanese. I've compiled the looks and made sure to get from her the designers she wore with maximum details, shoes, headbands etc... Dior, Gucci, Elie Saab, Azzara, Dolce & Gabbana, Marchesa, Christioan Louboutin, Zanotti....

Up to 70% OFF our favorite brands...

Not long ago I discovered an amazing private sale website, first I was attracted by their page design to be honest ;) but when i started browsing through their different sections and Sale events I said to myself well this is a great discovery! They've got almost all the luxury brands like Fendi, Chanel, Hermes, Gucci etc... handbags and accessories, Usually am not a big fan of online discount shopping, through experience I never find anything that I really like and if I do it turns out to NOT deliver to the UAE - Dubai this is where i Live. To cut the story short I changed my mind about online discount shopping you've got to check it out I personally found many items worth buying "great finds at low prices" A friend of mine is addicted to it. (be careful it's easy to get addicted)
BEST news is that they deliver to the UAE, Saudi & Kuwait for FREE (no hidden cost)
THE BETTER NEWS; I loved the site and it loved me back :) they are offering DHS 110 FREE Credit added to your account if you login from my website, got the "Reebonz" banner on www.vanylia.com you just have to click on it. You dont have to buy anything on the spot you can wait for your fav brands SALE events you will get notified by email.... enjoy!

Sales shopping guide // Part1

What to buy and what to avoid!

Claret or neon pink? A pencil skirt or a pleated style? Here's the ultimate guide Part 1 to what to ditch, buy and and embrace in this season's sales. Write off the wine tones as seen on Victoria's Beckham's autumn/winter 2011 catwalk  in favour of Roksanda Ilincic's fabulous spring/summer 2012 fluos

Citrine, emerald and topaz provided a luxurious moment for winter, as seen at Gucci 2011 (left). Go girlie for spring and opt for pistachio, lilac and lemon, like Jonathan Saunders spring/summer 12. Miuccia Prada's tea dresses at MiuMiu (Middle right) were a must-have item this winter, but she's moved onto the 50s for Prada's forthcoming spring/summer collection (right), and so should we.

Everyone wants a Cross Bag! Chanel, Dior, Gucci, Lanvin...

All, I mean all of my friends are now shopping for the IT cross bag! Well I’ve been carrying cross bags forever and I can tell you for sure that it is the most stylish effortless accessory to almost all the outfits. I like it with a little dress or tank top and shorts and I have realized that the more the bag is high end the more it gives Chic-ness to anything you put on ! It is indeed the must-have summer bag that every Fashionista will be toting around this season.

The cross-body bag is not only fashionable, but serves a functional purpose. When wearing this bag your hands will be free to sift through racks of clothing while shopping, party freely, and give your shoulders a break! Also adding a pop of color to your wardrobe across a classic LBD or LWD.

My picks for this season in the picture below! In love with the Chanel timeless wallet on Chain, Dior both of them J'adore! and Balenciaga is a passe partout!

Tips: The strap and hardware on cross-body bags are very critical, choose the chain or strap cerefully  a longer one is always better, do not go for big cross bags (pas chic at all) I would say invest in a cross bag with gold or silver accents or chain. If you feel like getting more than one, get a neutral and a bold color ( I always receive compliments on my  flashy green Prada)  Wear your cross bag in 2 different styles, cross or shoulder, depending on the event!
