I was approached by the team to attend the event. Attend as a blogger. So I made sure to take plenty of photos upon the day. I'm a self taught photographer. I won't ever claim to be a professional. All images featured in these entries belong to me, unless stated otherwise. Unfortunately I do not currently have time to wade through the images and individually edit each one. Please contact me if you'd like anything in particular. To make things easier to view, I will be dividing up my review into sections; the souk, fashion shows and the socialising element to the day.
The day itself was divided into sections. There were two fashion shows, one in the afternoon and the other in the evening. In addition there is a souk bazaar, which is a wide spread selection filled with various designers and companies. All present to showcase their products to attendees. Also, there was a pampering section, but I didn't get a chance to explore that facility.
BEWARE - THIS IS AN IMAGE HEAVY ENTRY

halal sweets are the best thing ever!
It was so difficult for me to shop. I made my priority talking to all the designers, at each stall. And of course photographing everything too. Therefore I only walked away with a few purchases, but alhamduillah. I vale the friendships I made from the day more. I got to meet so many lovely sisters, each with a tale to tell. Great company is the best. Mashallah, so many wonderful people under one roof.
