I must say I was so luck to attend such an exclusive exhibition in London, at my fav. Victoria & Albert V&A  Museum.

There is a new film under the name of "Victoria" I recommend you to watch to have an idea about the story of them. It's amazing place that always contains great exhibitions.

I was planning the other day what shall i wear for such a visit for a style Icon, my fav bag, outfits and shoes. something that presents my taste. It's always exciting to me whenever i go to a fashionshow, exhibitions. I always think what shall i wear for such an accoassion.

I went to the Museum, entered the place and the first thing i saw her special gown that made for her in the same day of her marriage to Prince Rainier III of Monaco.

the exhibition contains many of her gowns and outfits from her movies and events with photos beside them and some videos of her appearance.

What did i feel? i can't describe it really, i was so happy and i captured many moments inside my mind and some gowns were really still amazing and new. oh and i saw the Kelly original bag from Hermes! and Christian Dior sunglasses so huge and fashionable.

I couldn't snap any shots really because it's not allowed

What is Grace Kelly? and why she considered to be a Style Icon among other actresses? there is a book in the other shop in the Museum which was lovely decorated shops that contain some lovely stylish items. The book talks about her life and rare photos of her and it makes me know many amazing things about her.

what made me understand that she has her own simple style, she made it herself. something make u comfy and in the same style present your style and chic. I liked the part when she used to travel and how she stayed in shape. her dresses, hermes gloves and her stylish Kelly bag. she took her bag everywhere with her. it was like a travel and chic bag. girls must know how to use the bag from her though. it doesn't matter how many bags you have, it matter of the style and how you wear it. and sometimes only one bag can do many tasks and here you can be a smart and fashionable.

there is an article included in the book : How to travel light  - yes it's an old article but it works really if you travel to several places and you wanna stay in good look

oh yes! there is also her special gown in Rear Window movie, one of my fav. it shows how Alfred is a great film maker and how he can catch your full attention.

so you if you will be in London, and really love Grace Kelly and think she is a fashion Icon, then you still have a chance because the exhibition is on till 26 September.

and if you have been to London and know about it and didn't go then SHAME ON YOU :P

I hope you enjoyed this post and wait for more posts to come and sorry of my late updates. love you all

The photography fashion part of it:

green trouser with brown belt from Zara and green Mela Stud Top from NewLook, and plain yellow high heel shoes,

when i tried it first time, i found out it's comfy and i can wear it when i am shooting. The outfit really makes you look cool and chic.

the look should be similar to this picture

 I like the new style of the belt idea, i tried it myself and it's really good

more work coming soon

have a super super weekend

Thursday was a crazy day in the studio, we have an intern now from University, who will be with us for 6 weeks, We had a special beauty shoot for Farah, we always do special makeup for her each year to add it in portfolio and magazines ads. we were like bees, the MUA is working, hairstylist Marie is making the hair and the trainer is having backstage photo shoot with our lovely model of the day: Salwa Ayari

the photography fashion part of it:

as i said in my latest post that i will try something comfy and fashionable to tell you if it will work out while you are shooting, my pick of the day was stripe embellished top from new look with the pearls in the shoulder and legging jeans from 21, with stripe white and black shoe from Grey Mer by the way he has really cool new collection you must check the website.

I couldn't find the top's photo online so this is the similar look but with white pearls in the shoulder

the reason why i like NewLook in Dubai mall is because they are always get the latest trends than other shops, yes i like other shops as well, but till they get the new collection here it became old history, I like to get the classic dresses and outfits from the labels i like, but when it comes with the latest fashionable trends i like to get it from NewLook, 21 and sometimes Zara which they bring it faster than other shops, what about you?

other ppl wearing stripes and i like :

I will try my best from time to time to give you some tips i try it myself and it's working and where to buy it from

While I was making research at the internet, i came cross this beautiful site : http://www.runway2reality.com

and i found this: Not all Photographers wear vest! she has special photos under that name for a photographer and what she's wearing during her shoots.

these images links's cridet goes to http://www.runway2reality.com  you will find more information about each photo and where it belongs to

What i like also in her website, that she is the one who writes and picks the photos, also there is a section for her daily fashion with photos. She helps her reader how to stay in style and comfy. she is also a huge fan of TopShop like many other celebs.

Hi all, hope everyone is well, i know long time no updates but was busy with the book shooting and my client's shoots, here are some small photos i was able to share with you.
The idea supposed to be different lol but it was funny how all the things we booked for a long changed in a day before the shooting day. Joana was great and really helpful she managed to find the hat. there was suppose to be a bike in the road of our vintage idea style. but u don't want to know what happened to the bike, btw, the bike was last min thought because we had to replace the idea of the shooting so quick. so hopefully we will do the idea of that shooting one day next time.

Farah and hairstylist marie were great, they did the hair and the makeup like what we asked for. I like how fast is the hairstylist and how Magdalena's hair stayed till night. It was really nice of Farah coming with us to the location for the shoot. it was my first time with Magdalena, she is sweet and fun person.

sorry for the small photos i was resizing for the facebook, i will add bigger in my deviantart later
more updates with more editorials soon
