No we are not here to talk about food, and no
we are not learning to dance, im talking about a different type of Salsa, the
brand..
A couple of weeks ago I was invited by the ever
so sweet Nasreen to an event hosted by The Salsa store in City Center Bahrain
to get a glimpse of their new collection and to get fitted with the perfect fit
jeans.
I think before this time I have been to salsa
only once since it opened in City Center, I have this thing about being
attracted to color and I guess coz it’s a bit dark I never thought of entering,
oh boy was I missing out.
From now on let me just say I WILL NOT JUDGE A
STORE BY IT’S COLOR
The place was beautifully set inside and the
staff were super friendly and funny, I met with my fellow bloggers while
waiting our turn to get fitted by Ekram Aabed who is the Salsa Shop Manager, she
was super friendly and gave measured me from hip to shoulders, i tried on a
bunch of jeans that were a perfect fit for me until I decided on one of them.
We were lead to sit and enjoy the presentation
about the new collection, first of all let me tell you this, I do not like
presentations but this one was super fun and filled with fashion bits and bobs
so I surly enjoyed it and Ekram’s presentation skills were mad awesome she had
us engaging with her all the time, she presented us with the different body
shapes (The Grape (Hourglass), The Banana (Straight), The Pear (Wide Hips), The
Apple (wide Middle), and The Strawberry (Wide Shoulders)).
Once the presentation concluded we had time to
take group photos and chat some more. At the end of the night we got to take
our perfect fit jeans home with us. *YAAY*
This week I decided to finally take those said
jeans out for a spin, once I put them on I realized something!!
"SALSA JEANS ARE MAGIC"
They have moved up to be by far my favorite
jeans I own, whether dressed up or dressed down they look amazing, they truly
do work like the way mentioned in the presentation, pure magic, I’ve been
wearing them almost everyday now.
So if you are in need of a pair of new jeans,
go head straight to salsa and get fitted, trust me they are totally worth it,
they have a mind-blowing collection ranging within the Push-In, Shape-Up, Hope
and Sculpture!!
Oh and if you happen to go tell them Shoug sent
you <3.
I’ll leave you now with the pictures.
Salsa is located on level 1 inBahrain City Center.
Well we are well into November- can you believe
it just one more month till the new year and then January <3 anyway back to the subject at hand, with the supposed
transition from summer to fall or winter or whatever is this weather we are dealing with in our beautiful island I've tried
some new products that I absolutely fell in love with and others that I still can’t
fall out of love with.
So without rambling on let’s just get into
this post.
*Monthly Favorites Dance*
First let’s talk about the beauty favorites,
NYX liquid eyeliner
Oh my god can this be any perfect!! It has the
full package, it’s precise, pigmented and doesn't budge throughout the day.
Zoya nail polish in Giovanna
This emerald green is a gorgeous shade, I feel
like a mermaid when I wear this, the way it glistens reminds me of Ariel’s
tails. So yeah I’m a mermaid don’t judge me.
Candy Yum-Yum
This is the most gorgeous shade of electric
pink I have ever seen, I love how it complements my skin and makes me feel so
glam while wearing it.
Ruby woo
I have been obsessed with red lipsticks more
than ever this past month, whenever I want a pick me up I just put on this
shade and boom instant glam.
Rocket lash mascara by Maybelline
This has been my favorite to go mascara since
back in January when I found it in turkey and we just got it here in Bahrain
so I am soo thrilled about that!
Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer
Oh my god guys, I have fallen back in love with
my tinted moisturizers, but I especially LOVE this one from Laura Mercier, the
coverage of this is phenomenal, it covers just right for an everyday use and
its light, like you feel your skin still peeking through.
And now for the non beauty favorites
Sea to Santorini
I love bath and body works for so many reasons,
one they have a scent that satisfies every taste, the candles have amazing
designs and colors, and the names of the scents they have. This one was no
exception, from the design of the lid to the name, and to the scent oh my god it
smells like I’m walking down the beach and the smell of the breeze infused with
flower scents.
Favorite Tv series of the past month, well as usual I cannot pin it to just one, so
I have two shows which are new this fall.
Reign - CW
Oh my god, this show!! This is one of CW’s new
fall tv shows, it is amazing on so many levels, I love history and throw a
bunch of teens and love story line and I’m hooked. The story follows Mary Queen
of Scots and he journey to the throne, the only way I’d describe this show it’s
like The white queen meets gossip girl and both those shows are a fav of mine so
yeah, hooked!!
Check it out
Witches of East end - Lifetime
I do not even know how to begin telling you guys
how much this show is AHMAZING!!!! If you’re into the witchy, mystery, love
triangle sort of shows then you will LOVE this!! Me and my best friend describe
it as it’s like Charmed but not like Charmed in so many ways, like you’ve got
the four witches, the mother hid that fact from her two daughters and now they
are starting to learn how powerful are they, I think I got hooked just 5
minutes into the show, it’s amazing, amazing, amazing!!
Check it out
Favorite Tune on the month
It takes two - Katy Perry
Katy is a genius, she knows what she wants and
what her audience wants and she delivers, everyone was so hesitant while
waiting for her new album, we feared it might be going down a dark path-thanks to
all the promos- the day it came out I downloaded and listened to all the songs
and oh wow!! I love this new approach, its more mature, has so much feeling and
its mind blowing.
Royals – Lorde
I’m sure this song is on everyone’s favorites
of the month, If you don’t know who Lorde is you must be living under a rock, I
found out about Lorde back in September while browsing through Katy Perry’s
radio station in Music on my iphone, and her song BRAVADO came on, I loved it,
it was like Lana del ray meets the new Katy –side note: did you know Katy Perry
offered Lorde to go on tour with her but she turned down the offer- anyway so I
went and googled her and there were a list of songs, I downloaded and listened
and fell in love with the beat and melody of the song, another favorite of mine
from her is MILLION DOLLAR BILLS.
Favorite app
Twitter
I have rediscovered my love for tweeting and I guess
that’s because I’m back to being a working girls, but yes I tweet random
things, RT a lot of horoscope tweets so follow me if you dare @Shougalebrahim
Favorite Food
Vanilla Tea Latte
Am I the only one that walks into a Starbucks
and orders tea?? Raise your hands if you are a tea kind of person, the best
thing about my new job is the timing, I have enough time to pass by the nearby
Starbucks and get my daily fix of tea, their vanilla tea latte is amazing on
so many levels.
Favorite Fashion item
JustFab Madrid Shoes
My favorite type of heels are wedges, they are
comfy, gives you good balance yet stylish, so when I saw that I had credits in
my JustFab account I thought why not get those shoes, although I wasn't 100%
into them, but I did get them, a week later they arrived and I swear I haven’t worn
any other heel since, they are the most amazing transitional wedge sandals, you
can wear them casual, posh or even for work, they are oh so comfortable and
easy to walk in, now I’m not a heels type of girl but this one has got me
hooked!
Favorite subscription box of the month
PopSugar Must have box
Last month popsugar’s must have box exceeded my
expectations, after not really loving the September box, I wasn’t sure how I’d
feel about October’s but man did I love it – I promise my next post o going to
be about PopSugar must have box to introduce it to the beauties that still haven’t
heard about it.
Even way before Instagram and blogs I loved to
take snaps of what I’m wearing just to keep a memory of each outfit I wore, when
I look at my pictures from previous year I sometimes do a back flip thinking “How
on earth did I leave the house wearing that?!!” but then again every time has
its fashion and I guess at that time it was Da bomb!!
Since I haven’t been posting daily looks here because
the lack of photos of some of the outfits, I have been posting them on my
Instagram account as that can be much simpler all you need is one good shot and
your one click away from sharing it with the world, so I thought why not post
some of my October outfits that I have snapped.
If you want to know more deets about the whole outfit just visit my Instagram page and you'll find it all THERE.
