If you think that I look for an excuse to make a post featuring Najwa Karam... you're probably right.
Since Najwa Karam has been named the guest of honour at the Harper's Bazaar World of Fashion 2014 event at the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai, it gives me the rightful excuse to write a post featuring the eternally graceful Queen of Fashion and Elegance.
After continuous success as a singer and now after three seasons as a judge on MBC's Arabs Got Talent, the diva has been increasingly recognised for her successful fashion choices and many would identify her as a modern day fashion icon.
"Najwa Karam is very well known. She captivates audiences with her presence, grace and style. She has made a strong name for herself in the Arab World as a singer, and we are very optimistic and very happy to collaborate with Najwa Karam this year... looking forward to the best outcome." - Hussain Moosa, Associate Director for Mall of the Emirates (Emirates 24/7). Ms Karam will be there at the fashion finale on the 22nd of October in a public Q&A with the attendees so save the date!
(and lets hope she will be revealing an album release date because the well-being of my ears depends on it).

Like that wasn't enough to make me want to attend, the event will feature twenty catwalk shows throughout the two weeks, with high-street fashion brands including Kate Spade, Sandro, Juicy Couture, Karen Millen, Ted Baker, to name a few, and Harvey Nichols will also be there to open and close the event!
Lebanese make-up artist Bassam Fattouh will host a booth at the shopping centre for beauty advise and demos and free makeovers, as he shares his expertise with the attendees on the 21st!
Anyone got a spare plane ticket to Dubai!?
As always, thank you for reading.

If we can all just remember the wise words of Karl Lagerfeld that said 'Think pink but don't wear it'... That's basically my outlook on this crepe dress by Roland Mouret. It was like they went overboard with the pink and accidentally spilled too much and it just became too concentrated for my taste. I thought the overall style of the dress was rather bland, except the off-the-shoulder silhouette which added to her femininity and saved the dress from completely burning.
I must have spent half an hour replaying and admiring the part where she gracefully twirls in this fringed wool-blend dress from Lanvin's Fall 2014 Ready-to-Wear collection when the video was first uploaded.
The colour palette - which is completely suitable to the season - and gradient is so well put together in this dress and adds to the delicate movement fabricated by the varying sizes of the fringing. Something I would probably not opt for at first glance but works magic!
I think this a-line dress from Gucci's Fall 2014 collection explains itself; bead embroidered silver bodice and rose gold sleeves on top of a silk cady top and a leather skirt. It has a perfect balance of simplicity and complexity. However, not suited for top-heavy type figures, as clearly, it highlights the top part of the body like encrusted diamonds.
When I named Najwa Karam the Queen of Fashion and Elegance, I obviously wasn't joking.
Because last and certainly not least, this patterned gold dress from Jenny Packham's Fall 2014 collection looks so flattering and graceful and is beautifully fitted to the diva's figure, it was just different from all of the styles featured in the advertisement/photoshoot and without a doubt my favourite. Najwa gives this dress a whole new flavour and I love it!
I liked how there was a variety of designers featured and the dresses were all from their most recent collections (at the time of the shoot).
