Tulips & Cherry Blossoms

April 14, 2014

If you’ve been following me on Instagram [@adayinthelalz] you know that I have been beyond excited to finally be in DC for the Cherry Blossoms. I may have over done it – but oh well! This trip to DC was on Tuesday just when the blossoms were starting to bloom. My friend and I went early in the morning to avoid the crowds and allow me to snap some photos! I have been waiting for months to wear this adorable French Connection Tulip Sweater. My name in Persian means Tulip – therefore anything tulip related is a win in my book! I usually shy away from pink but this sweater had me rethink my rule and I totally embraced it!

Yesterday my lovely friends and I went to Macy’s Metro Center in DC to see the Macy’s Spring 2014 Flower Fashion Show with host Courtney Kerr. The show was wonderful – learned a lot of helpful spring fashion tips from Courtney! At the beginning of the show Courtney announced the official IG hashtag to be #courtneylovesmacys and two lucky winners would be selected to win gift bags from Macy’s. I instagrammed my little heart out and was lucky enough to win! Yay! There was even delicious mini cupcakes from Hello Cupcake at the show! It was a super fun night with my girls!

Spring Green

April 10, 2014

Spring is my favorite season fashion wise! I love everything from layers, pastels, florals, and stripes! I wore this outfit to the Sizdeh Bedar Picnic I went to this past weekend. The weather was perfect and it was just a lovely day to be at the park with friends and to be celebrating!

DC Fashion Week – Emirates Designers Showcase

October 3, 2013

Last week I was fortunate enough to attend DC Fashion Week with my sister and friend.

How? Well, our dear friend mentioned to my sister and I that DC Fashion Week takes place September 23-29, 2013. They had various shows – some free, some you could purchase tickets, and some which required an invitation. My sister was hell bent on attending the Emirates Designer Showcase hosted by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Embassy. After a series of fortunate events we were invited to the show.

There were three designers showcased at the show; Sugar Vintage Couture, House of Fatam – a fashion house founded by three sisters, Layma, Shaima, and Fatma – and Abeer Alsuwaidi. The MC of the show was Dana Al Marashi – the Head of Heritage and Social Affairs Department at Embassy of the United Arab Emirates.

Etihad Airways, the national airline of United Arab Emirates, was giving away two free round trip tickets to members of the audience. How did they pick the winner? They asked members of the audience to drop their business cards in a bowl and at the end of the show the Vice President of the company picked winners from the pile. Personal note – ALWAYS CARRY A BUSINESS CARD! I have not amounted to anything fancy yet therefore I don’t have a business card but my dear sister who is a physician failed to have one on her. Even if you don’t have a business card I suggest always carrying a pen around – you can always find something to write on. One of the winners wrote her name on the program and dropped it in the bowl. Moral of the story: always have a business card or a pen in your clutch!
