I am in love with the new "Wallis" Maxi Dresses... I bought three!!!

It started with this Maxi Dress from "Wallis" that I needed for an dinner event here in Jeddah last month. Its amazing, light, colorful, and cool just right for the type of weather here which is hot and humid. I couldn't stop wearing it including to my office. I had eyed it and when I finally decided to buy it, my size was out of stock in the Mall near my home. I had the salesman call 3 different stores all over Jeddah to find, and reserve it. It was the first thing to do on my list the next day. It is a buy that I am proud of.

These Maxi dresses are coming up every where her in Jeddah shopping malls mostly in bold bright colors. But I especially love the ones that are coming up in the "Wallis" stores.
I love bold colors that is one of my signature looks. I also kind of like flashy catching your eyes colors. Ahhh may be its all this hot weather around us ha?

The beginning of this month I was getting tired of my usual skirts for the office I wanted something new and something easy to wear without thinking of coordinating pieces together. Once the decision of an upcoming shopping spree was made I just went straight to "Wallis" and found exactly what I wanted, two more prize maxi dresses and I already have my eye on the 4th dress.
This left hand side photo of the bold turquoise dress was the next buy. I wore it the same day. Then this weekend I bought the more neutral colored dress on the right photo.

The last dress on the left side photo is still in my thoughts but the final decission hasn't been made yet, the only thing that is bothering me in this dress is the floating piece on the front. Hmm we'll see if it makes the final cut. Everyone who saw the dresses loved it. I am loving the colors of the fashion that is coming up in stores, its very beach bright oriented. Just right for Jeddah I think.

My new clutch.. but in Bronze color..

Its wrong wrong wrong for me to stop at any Bag store " just to take a quick look" HA!!!!! that never works for me especially that I am the kind of gal that is a bag gal more than a shoe girl.. I love bags.. so I had to do a fast erand today on my way home I wanted to get some coffee.. but I dint ask to be stoped just in front of the coffee house ..nooo I want to go from the main entrance of the small mall that happens to have a Nine West store just when you go through the entrance.. " whats the harm in just to glance at the window on my way to get my coffee.. Right?.. well that doesn't work that way.. EVER!!!.. the glance to catch my eye at a certain item.. I see a sale.. I see a bag.. I bring out my card.. I buy a bag.. or a slipper... its summer around the corner.. I need nice cute summer sexy slippers to show off my pedicure.. any ways I ended up buying this very nice handy especially when I am travelling.. doesn't take much space in my travelling bag.. and it brightens any outfit when you go out at night for dinner or something.. blah blah blah.. yah yah yah.. just any reason that makes it legitimate for me to buy the bag.. so I did and it made me happy.. I will take it with me in my next trip just to prove I was serious about the reason behind wasting my money.. :)

They finally opened LUSH!!

This is one of my favorite body products stores when I was in Canada.. I always buy one of their "BATH BOMBS" as a gift for my self, as a pick me up, or when I need to pamper my self and take care of my self.. I have been passing buy both stores in Tahlia Shopping Mall and also the one in Roshan Mall and they have been closed for quite a while.. its finally open again and I bought my self a BATH BOMB and two others each for both my sisters to try.. I have a gut feeling that I will get at least one of my sisters addicted to them as well.. They are so feminine these BATH BOMBS.. if you haven't tried them or your girl didn't try to get you to take a bath with one of these bombs in the water get to it.. its really romantic.. just soak in it and forget the world..
For my self I bought SAKURA

For one of my sisters I bought SEX BOMB

My other sister I bought THINK PINK because she likes Vanilla scents

and don't go economical when you use these BATH BOMBS you have to use the whole ball to really enjoy.. I know its a splurge but aren't you worth it? I know I am :)
Enjoy..
check out also LUSH Website they have PDF files to download with tips on skin care and news regarding their products.. its interesting to brows through..

Fun Lilliy Visit to "Coach" with her new hand bag, and what else was eye catching?

It started with this bag that I needed for work last month which is a great bag its strong colorful goes well with my flowery abayah that has white and pink embroidery .. I Love this bag I even took it to Dubai last month for the Dubai Derm conference..
"SIGNATURE STRIPE TOTE"


THIS IS MY NEW BAG!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!! its my daily hand bag I fell in love with the color Turquoise is one of my favorites it was this color or red I choose this it reminds me of the color of the sea.. Patent is in this season and so are bright colors very spring...
"CARLY SIGNATURE WITH PATENT TRIM"


I had sat and debated between this bag and the one I got for quite a while but I opted for the convenience and the comfort on the above bag at the end since it will be my daily hand bag i need something that is quick and easy to get my unglass and wallet from and close securely this I couldn't close properly without a bit of a struggle with the zipper so I didn't take it..
"COACH SOHO SIGNATURE LACED HOBO"

This collection and this particular bag has become popular in Jeddah with young working women and I can understand why its big enough to carry file s and important papers and maybe even your laptop but at the same time it gives a casual comfortable summer/spring colorful look to you as your off in the morning.. to me as I am leaving to my clinic it looked too casual.. that's why I had chosen the above instead.. i think what had put me off it for a work bag is the handle it was cloth too casual but if I was going to the beach its ideal or shopping on the weekend...
"COACH HERITAGE STRIPE TOTE"

Part of that collection is this one of the kind of bags that I really like when I am travelling and sightseeing it frees your hand while your taking photos especially that it would carry the essentials for the day this would look great with any sexy jeans and a nice T while you are wondering around in one of those hop on Hop Off buses which i usually take when ever I go to a new city it gives you time to see every thing as well as have stops at important sites to walk around or have lunch and stuff.. and with this bag you don't have to worry about forgetting it on the bus because it would be side ways hanged on you.. this is "COACH HERITAGE STRIPE SWINGPACK"

I had seen this bangle in the catalogue before I went and too bad it wouldn't fit into my hand without hurting me.. I have a wide bony area in the mid of my hand so not every bangle fits..
"3/4" COACH BANGLE"

Now this was something I really liked and most likely it will be bought in my next visit unless I get distracted by another key chain that is as cute as this one.. the seller was trying to sell me one of those key chains with a locked in it.. but I think I ve grown up for those romantic sentimental buys.. I am not as sentimental as I used to be...
this is "New COSMETIC MIX KEYFOB"

and here is another key chain that was really nice and elegant "HERITAGE DISCS KEY FOB"

Don't worry I am not the kind that gets dressed from head to toe in one label like a sheep being stamped with one of those iron tattoos.. it happened that I like the work bag and the hand bag at the same time they were both right for a certain purpose..

Fun Lilliy Question: Do Men Buy Lingerie For Their Women?

When I was in high school a friend of mine told me about an odd tradition in their family (or tribe) that the fiance when he and his family are brining gifts for his feature bride he usually places the lingerie he would like her to wear on their wedding night at the bottom of the wrapping full of cloths or fabric (in those days and till now but less so, a lot of the women cloths were tailored by a tailor, the style would be chosen from a fashion magazine and they used to choose certain fabrics and give it to a tailor and it was made into the dress she wants) which used to be custom to be give by the groom..
I see sometimes some men come into lingerie stores and start choosing things.. but I also noticed they try to avoid looking at people shopping around them.. I know in the west the men are more comfortable buying it I think?..
So are men comfortable buying lingerie for their women? are some embarrassed if they did? do they admit it? or do they like it to be kept a secret? or do they just like that the woman chooses it her self and thats that and would never venture into that world or be seen there buying on his own?
Women!.... what do you think do you like receiving such a gift chosen by your man? Do you mind it if he goes to the lingerie store?
I found this on "Telegraph TV" , if you are a man and want to buy lingerie, this is a video for you "Lingerie: a man's guide"
