Love is in the air at Galeries Lafayette...

On my first visit to Paris going to Galleries Lafayette was an enchanting moment for me. It is absolutely gorgeous building with a fairytale like glass dome ceiling and amazing shopping experience. Here in Dubai we are super lucky to have our own Galleries Lafayette and let me confess that I fell in love with their idea of putting together "So... in love" week to celebrate the Valentine's Day from February 7 until February 14. Once you read the reasons listed below I am sure you will be in love as well :)

Showcasing the best of its latest divine collections probably Valentine Inspired with lots of red to find the perfect gift for each other.

An in-store heart matching Game to get more discounts on top of the Dubai Shopping Festival discounts, and who doesn’t love games and discounts??? ;) Upon entrance, every customer will be given one half of a broken heart, with the other half residing somewhere in the store for them to find.

And my favorite part is that lovers can also display their affections by visiting Galleries Lafayette's wall of love, a wall displaying heartfelt messages from one to another, along with a photographer to capture beautiful moments of happy couples.

What more can you ask for, right?

The power of accessories...

I believe in the power of accessories. You can instantly update and brighten up your wardrobe without spending ton of money. I combined bright/fun scarf with an elegant brooch and it instantly transformed my blazer. Really, what else can you ask? Right?

Giovanna Battaglia in Eddie Borgo's Spring 2011 Lookbook

"The pieces worn by Battaglia, available now on Net-a-Porter, were inspired by fetish iconography: padlocks, corsets, bondage cuffs. Which sounds scary if left in another designer’s hands. But Borgo manages to make these references feel altogether ladylike."

The Video of Tom Ford’s Fashion Show Is Now Online

It is still impossible to get a good look at any of the clothes. Need more... BUT i absolutly love below article form vogue.com

"Tom Ford’s comeback to womenswear after six years——­is fashion meganews, not that he’s been sharing it with just anyone. The newly elusive former idol and inciter of the sexed-­up Gucci-­YSL nineties is doing things differently this time. He objects to the way the Internet eats up fashion images before the clothes can be bought. He despises sections of the press. Private and formal are terms he favors now.
“I do not understand everyone’s need to see everything online the day after a show,” he says. “I don’t think it ultimately serves the customer, which is the whole point of my business—not to serve journalists or the fashion system. To put something out that’s going to be in a store in six months, and to see it on a starlet, ranked in US magazine next week? My customer doesn’t want to wear the same thing she saw on a starlet!”So true. But the celebrity red-carpet fashion parade? Dresses flown fresh from runways to awards ceremonies? The whole degenerated step-and-repeat of it all? Mr. Ford, you started it. “Now I’m taking it back!” He relents just a little: “I’ll wait to see who’s nominated for the Oscars. Then I will offer to dress one person.”
What he wants to do now sounds almost like a volte-face from his brash, hot, logoed Gucci heyday. “It’s about individuality. Real clothes, real women. For a fashionable woman aged 25 to 75. That’s why I literally put many of my own muses in the show. I hear them say, ‘God, I can’t find that anywhere!’ ”
“I want this to be somewhere a woman knows she can go when she wants a great jacket—not a fake expensive jacket, something that has intrinsic value. I don’t think fashion has to change every five minutes. I’d like these to be clothes you can wear for a long time—ten, 20 years; pass on to your daughter. Why buy vintage when you can open your own closet!”
