During my recent trip to Lahore I was invited to an exclusive tour of new store House of Aphrodite. It is owned by the lovely and trendy Sumbal Hammad. She set about opening this store to provide a place for Lahoris to shop the latest Western wear at affordable prices. As she showed me around the store, she told me about she was a stickler for good quality clothing and how she had hand picked everything present in the store itself. I was impressed with the selection of clothing and the general atmosphere of the store. They had a big open space with chairs and a television (perfect for bored husbands!) and the staff were very helpful and attentive. Not only do they sell clothing, they stock jewellery, shoes, handbags and lingerie (something I feel there is a severe lack of in Lahore). After speaking to Sumbul, she let me pick my favourite pieces and style them. Check below of more photos of the store as well as looks styled by me. The best part is that the location of the store is easy ...

Recently I was contacted by UK based designer to check out her brand. I was impressed by how unique her designs were and was particularly smitten with her embroidered lehnga with orange skirt from her new collection. She was kind enough to send me that lehnga that I recently attended. Her service was fantastic and it was so easy to communicate with her. Her dress was even more gorgeous in real life and fit perfectly.  Find out more about the talented designer and how to contact her below: When did you start your brand?

I want to spend my life doing what I love and for me that is fashion design. One of my earliest memories is of my mother doing some basic stitching at home and I always used to help her. I then started to make little tweaks to her outfits and it all just grew from there. Being a fashion designer is hard wor...

Graphic t-shirts are bang on trend this season with Alexander Wang and Moschino coming out with fun designs.   I would like to introduce you to super fun brand, T-Shirt Policy London. Created by London-based Pakistani Natasha Petafi, it's full of chic and pretty t-shirts. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a couple of them and wanted to share how I styled them! I love how versatile they are, perfect for summer and even winter when you can layer it up. I love their Turban Lady tee for it's fun design and I decided to mimic her by wearing this cute turban/head band from H&M. In the second picture, I layered it up with a gorgeous printed jacket by Heena Ayub. I'm a big fan or Arabic slogan t-shirts so this 'Fashion Blogger' tee was perfect for me! For my second look, I decided to be more girly and pair the t-shirt with my H&M skirt (as you can see, I'm a big fan of the store!) and a nude floppy hat. If you love their designs as much I do, check out their...
