An afternoon of Paris in Dubai with Ingie Chalhoub

-
An afternoon is well spent when you spend it at the VIP lounge at Saks Fifth Avenue appreciating the delicate work of Ingie Chalhoub who is so much more than a fashion designer.

Ingie Chalhoub is a multi-award winning business woman and style guru. The fall/winter 2013 line of the brand Ingie Paris combines the styles of the world with the femininity along with the unique spirit of Paris and the modesty of middle east. The collection featured a mix of short cocktails dress, casual dress, short skirts, gowns fit for a wedding reception, long skirts for the evening and even an abaya.

At the end of the show I had a chance to talk to Ingie Chalhoub herself and I must say, she is an marvelous person. When I mentioned how much I was impressed by her work and all that she has accomplished as a business woman, she very warmly invited me to stop by their office in UAE and in Paris whenever I visit. I had to cut my conversation short so the others could have a chance to interact with her, but it was a pleasure having talked to a women who is an inspiration for countless people around the world.

As the afternoon went along a number of stunning pieces from the new collection were displayed by the models. One of my favourite ensemble from the afternoon was the white and gold short dress with a matching cardigan featured below.

The long and short of it - from casual, and day to night wear from Ingie Paris Fall/Winter 2013

The long dress included various cuts and textures. The Gold mermaid skirt had a fish scale like texture cascading downwards, enough to make you feel like an oceanic princess. Black velvet, sequined and colour changing fabrics won the hearts as the perfect must have for the holiday season. Ingie paris also showcased the long layered monochrome dress and a deep blue abaya embellished with black stones and beads.

Perfect for the upcoming Wedding season to Ballroom events Long Dress from Ingie Paris

Textured skirts, party dresses, and jackets with hand sewn glass buggets made up the perfect combination of short dress quintessential to an evening out with the girls or a cozy dinner with your partner.

It time to party in these dazling numbers. The host  (pictured second from left) was also seen in an Ingie Paris mini dress

Food Review - Circle Café

Circle Café has proudly joined the re-invention club and launched a new menu recently and I'm going to give you a low down on how well they scored. Tucked away into the quite Business Bay square in downtown Dubai, Circle Café is a cosy hidden gem. The simple and elegant interiors give a very relaxed home feel which makes the food more enjoyable. Let's get down to business then..First up were the Bagel chips. As the name suggests they were thinly sliced baked Bagel chips served with a Tarama Truffle dip. From the first bite I knew this dish was going to be in my top three for the night. They were so crisp and light that I couldn't stop munching. The zatar type seasoning gave it the perfect amount of subtle flavour. For those with a preference for stronger taste, the dipping sauce gives it a unexpected punch which grows on you with every bite. Next was the Whole Wheat Salmon Pasta followed by the Circle Greek Salad, both of which are healthy options but low on the seas

Food Review - Carluccio's and Bloomsbury Review

 The Dubai Mall has numerous hidden gems and every time I go there I stumble upon something new. A little pop up shop or cafe situated in some corner of the mall can always surprise. The places I tried this week aren't very hidden, but this was the first time I tried them. I did come across a new home store where I've never been before, but today we'll stick to Carluccio's and Bloomsbury. Carluccio's as the name suggest is Italian. You have two seating options, one facing the fountain and the other facing the mall (see image below). The service was friendly and quick considering the fact that it was a Thursday. We ordered two pizzas, a pasta and a salad. The margarita was thin crust, soft, chewy and pretty good. They did not have any options in chicken pizza's so we ordered for grilled chicken topping with our pizza., the result chicken strips on top of the same Margarita pizza. It din't taste bad, cause it still taste the same with just chicken on to
