Events : Spring Wardrobe Styling Workshop at WORKSHOPMODESTY

Hi Beauties...

Happy Weekend!

Soo who doesn't love events, pretty decor, delicious food and inspiring people? That's what went down at the Workshopmodesty  Styling Workshop event two weeks ago, yes I know I'm late with this blog post but as use know I'm busy with a hundred things and it gets crazy at times but none the less, here goes enjoy the read!
So let me start from the beginning, my journey with the amazing ladies from Little Big Event Planners and Workshopmodesty started a year ago when they invited me to the launch to write a blog post about the "opening events and happenings".This time I was invited as a guest speaker and I felt very honoured, Shukran so much for inviting me and making me part of this great event.(if you would like to read the blog post about the launch follow this workshopmodesty opening launch )

So upon arrival everyone loved the beautiful setting, it was so pretty and welcoming and had a Spring feel to it with tones of white and pink decor and the most beautiful flower arrangements. And guess what for once in my life I was early and being early has it's perks, I got to meet some of the amazing designers I didn't meet before (we follow each other on instagram but never met) we had time to chat and take some pictures together before it got crowded.

Welcome
The event kicked of with a heart warming opening from the lovely Nasheetah (owner of Workshopmodesty), she mentioned that she doesn't feel like the owner at all and that all the designers are owners and that they are like family to her. The in house designers currently showcasing their beautiful garments in the store are GKD by Gadijah Kahn, Vanilla for kids by Rafeeqa Smith, Diyana, Khaos Jewels and Nasheetah's brand the Infinity Collection SA.

You can also find goodies from Crystal Modest Boutique and Nifty Works.
If you haven't yet been at the store you are missing out, go follow them on instagram @workshopmodesty to stay updated and they always share when they having a sale!

Fashion

Ok, so to be honest I never spoke at events before other than at my moms 50th and recently at my dad-inlaws 70th birthday party in front of so eighty people and it consisted mostly of family and friends. When little Big Event Planners approached me and

asked if I would like to be a guest speaker at the event I thought it would be good to step out of my comfort zone and that there's always a first time for everything right? So when it was my turn I started off fine and spoke for a few minutes and while speaking I suddenly began to feel so weird, I tried to continue after I drank some juice but felt like I wanted to faint, I really don't know if it was nerves or just my sugar levels that dropped because I didn't eat. After I took a break while someone else continued with their topic I felt fine and ready to continue and I must say the second time around went much better and I was happy to have shared of my fashion tips and also some of this seasons spring/summer trends. 

Makeup
In-between me taking a little break we had professional makeup artist safiyyah Sauls sharing makeup tips and she also showed us how to create a quick spring make-up look, I really loved the oranje eye shadow look she created on Raeesa.





Clothing
One of the in-house designers Gadija Khan gave the guests some amazing clothing and styling tips. She explained how to take care for your clothes, how to make it last longer and showed some of her latest designs while also giving away some great prizes.






Scarfstyling
We then had scarf styling by the talented Raeesa founder of Zahara Scarfstyling and all the beautiful on-trend scarves used was from Rana scarves. The question alot of people always ask "how do you wrap your turbans and how do you get your scarf to stay on your head" Raeesa explained that so nicely, she mentioned that the base/ underscarf or cap you use is the most important because if the base is not right your scarf won't look or feel right and will slip off.

Home
Next up we had Faghri from Revere linen,   he gave the guests some great home tips and tricks he also gave us awesome ideas on how to re-create a space in your home or outside that you don't like or wanted to change but just never got to it. He went on over to the bedroom section and explained how to make your bed look Aaamazing without breaking the bank but also explained the importance of quality fabric.





Last but definetly not least we had the amazing Registered Councellor Shanaaz Moos sharing parenting tips and explaining that how beauty should firstly come from the inside before working and beautifying the outside!

Events: Fashionably Fabulous Brunch

Hi Beauties,

Happy Holidays to all of you :)

The first Saturday of this month I attended a Fashionably Fabulous Brunch hosted by Rushda from @rubescloset, Aaliah from A Sense of Style and Roshan from Style Africa .How fabulous do they look all dressed in A Sense of Style collection.

Let me tell you a bit about this very stylish event themed Breakfast at Tiffany's, Rushda did a more detailed blogpost which you can read on her blog Rubescloset here , I just felt like sharing with you about the fabulous time I had.



This was not your everyday event, it was a morning surrounded by fabulous people in a very stylish setting and atmosphere, beautiful decor and delicious food. If you don't know me personally, I love being surrounded by beauty and even more by positive inspiring people, so just imagine how much I enjoyed myself.

I think they choose the perfect venue for the event, everything matched perfectly, the light walls with the beautiful table decor even the gift bags blended in. The big windows that allowed a lot of light and fresh air and not forgetting the stunning views.

It really was a morning filled with all things girly, it kicked of with a good dose of motivation to start any given day, a very inspiring talk by Tatyana from Go Beauty  she spoke about how she moved from London and started her business here in South Africa because she really loved this beautiful place and friendly people. She explained how she didn't have a clue what she was doing when she started her business, she just believed and followed her heart, today she runs a successful business growing bigger by the day. Her message was to never give up on following your dreams. I just met her on the day but could immediately see the positive energy she leaves behind. 

She was followed by the beautiful Qaanita from OnQ Makeup who gave us the latest make up trends and tricks, do's and donts while doing a make up demonstration for a light Summer make up look. Qaanita has done her makeup magic on top celebrities, she's so good at it. After her demo everyone circled around her to buy makeup products and ask makeup advice. She'll be hosting a makeup workshop early next year, so if you would like more information to attend  you can contact her here  or call Qaanita on 0746027485

We then went over to Roshan Isaacs, MD of Style Africa , who is also a health and wellness coach, she gave us some really good and important health tips and home remedies for hair and skin as well as a demonstration on how to make it. Roshan is the one to speak to in helping you with your ideal weight and lifestyle.



Then we had Professional Hair Stylist Nuraan from hairstudio, she gave a quick hair demonstration from how to go from a casual look to a elegant look in just a few minutes.


 We had another break, more eating from the beautiful looking delicious buffet, chatting and meeting fabulous ladies.

There were awesome prizes in between and I really hoped to win something but guess the luck was not on my side that morning. On display to purchase was beautiful pieces from Crystal Paradise and perfume from Yougazi .Khadeeja from Beauty Talk gave mini treatments.

Then lastly we had the fashion show, Aaliah introduced her Resort Holiday Collection. Rushda / Rubescloset did fashion styling showing how the pieces can be worn various ways.
It was difficult to pin point the best pieces from the collection because everything is  just so stunning.




I just loved everything about this nautical look, can be worn to the beach or just a day out. The top can be worn off the shoulder or with no shoulder showing for the more modest dresser. See how Rushda styled the same skirt from a beach look to a more casual sneaker look. Also the the picture below with the tropical print top and pants transformed to a different look with the black off shoulder top.

Did this bright colour catch my eye, the perfect colour for summer, eye-catching, vibrant and happy.

Beautiful easy to style outfits.

How stunning is the light shivon kimono, perfect to wear to a fancy do or to the beach.
To see more of this collection go to A Sense of Style website or social media pages.

Pics with the stunning ladies that hosted the fabulous event. Thank you for a memorable morning, your event was awesome ;)

Bottom: stunning ladies I met at the event, we just couldn't stop chatting.

 I also met some ladies who follow and read my blog and expressed how they love it :) Alhamdulilaah

With the beautiful Ilhaam Kariem, we finally met after following each other for a long time on Instagram :)
