'Thee' Bespoke Shirts!!

HELLO
  SALAAM, 

I know i have been MIA (Missing in action), for quite sometime but i am back and back for good Inshallah. You know Uni,Work and general life gets in the way!!
I hope my followers, which I'm sure is just a few are happy I'm back. LOL.

I am definitely a sucker for a piece being quiet unique and having something special about it. I like having an item of clothing that i know that only a few people would own, so Inshallah one day i can pass it down to my daughter. 

I love a designer or a seamstress who pays close attention to detail, as i am a dab hand with the sewing machine i like the cut and the make of an piece to be clean and neat. (OCD Probably) lol.
I have always had a passion for design and textiles and anything made from scratch all derived from somebodies mind. It makes the item to me a work of art and something special. 

The two designers that i am in love with at the moment is my good friend,
 Saleha Bagas (Whom is a Fashion Graduate who has her own collection, which i want to buy every item, she also won the Creative Focus Award in 2013 for her AMAZING Natural Talent.) Mashallah!!!

Also thee wonderful Hafsa Lodi (Whom is a very creative Clothing Designer in Dubai, brains and beauty she is a Journalism Graduate, she also blogs her blog is:

Its all about the details for me and thees items defiantly pay close attention to the beautiful detail!!!

The Day My Accessories Arrived!

Hello Fellow Followers 
I thought it was time to do a new post.
I'm addicted to reading other peoples blog's especially my friend Dua's (http://coutureandthecity.onsugar.com/).
Which im sure you can tell seen as iv mentioned her previously lol.
I literally check and read the blogs of my friend Dua  and other bloggers sites, on a daily basis. 
Obsession i know, but i love reading about pretty things, style and fashion. 
As im sure most girly girls do.  
She recently blogged about a website called Kukee (http://www.kukee.co.uk/), with amazingly priced accessories.
So as soon as i visited the site i was ordering away differing items,
 i couldn't help myself they were all such gorgeous pieces...defiantly my cup of tea. 
Make sure you check out the site, i think it ranges in designs to fit all different taste....
 So im sure you will find something that is up your street. 
Plus the prices are so good that you will feel like its a steal.  
Here is a few of the items that got mailed to me recently.
Let me know what you think.



Rectangle Stone Earrings (White) - £2


Plain above Knuckle Ring (Silver tone) - £1.50
Above the Knuckle Ring (Silver Plated) - £1.50
Dangly Charm Ring (Adjustable) Hamsa Palm - £2 
Hamsa Palm Moon and Star Necklace (Silver Tone) - £2

Every since i was little girl and i used to go Tunisia with my dad (Where my Dad's side of the family are from and live).
 I have always been in love with the little trinkets that adorn the Hamsa Palm design.
So when i saw that there was all different rings bracelets and necklaces with this design on them, within this site.
I had to have them. 



Thee above the Knuckle Rings are my favourite purchases because i have two rings that i wear all the time.
These rings have great sentimental value to me... and if you know me im all about things that have thee sentiment lol.
So i wanted little dainty rings that would compliment the more statement rings that i wear all the time.
The delicate turquoise stoned ring in the first picture is a gift from my friend Dua... when she went to Egypt earlier this summer. 
Seen as Turquoise is my favourite Colour this gift was very fitting to my taste.
Probably why im in love with it.
The second Square Stoned Sapphire Ring, was also from Egypt but this was purchased by myself while i was on a trip to Egypt in 2010 with five of my Close friends. 
That was my very first every Girly Holiday... so this ring to me represents that time. 
Plus Sapphire is my Birth Stone! :)

Thank you for reading! 
Speak to you all very soon!

My Very First Post!

Welcome  to A Chouari Lifestyle.

This is my very first post... Im new to all this... so be kind please, future followers.
My dear friend suggested I create a blog. 
She also inspired me with her talents... from reading her own amazing blog http://coutureandthecity.onsugar.com/  
Make sure you check her out she has beautiful taste, an eye for style, great insight and knowledge base of fashion Mashallah lol.

All of which inspired me to blog about all my many a interests.
So if your Interested in Fashion, Faith, Culture, Politics, Health (Mental Health), Academia, Sports, Travelling and Art then you have come to the right place.

Im going to Turkey this coming September and i always love the holiday shopping that you do before hand.
I brought a few things that i put together for holiday beach looks. 
I have a bit of a current obsession for skull Scarfs which would be great to wear tied around your head as a headband to keep your hair out of your face while on the beach, or in a turban style if you are a Scarfie jet setting lol.

I can't wait to shop for more holiday luggage ... which i know my mama won't be to pleased about due to Weight of luggage etc lol. 
Nevertheless, i will keep you posted on any new and old purchases... from and for, past and upcoming holidays. :)
Also any souvenir purchases i get in Turkey you will all defiantly be seeing so keep your eyes out...
 I love buying accessories, cloths and memorable sentimental items from abroad. 
Its one of my favourite past times.
Here's a few of my current Purchases.







Shirt - H&M £7
Scarf - Primark £2
Sunglasses - Primark £1
Bracelet - Primark £2
Hat - Primark £1

The Skull Scarf Obsession



All Primark for £2... these funky Scarfs can give a simple outfit a pop of colour or could even be a cute addition to be tied on to your beach bag.

Simple, Comfortable and Stylish.

What more could a girl ask for...
When it comes to a holiday outfit those are the three characteristics we all look for.
Here's and example of an easy to wear beach outfit.




Rings - H&M £3
Earrings (Hoops) - H&M £1
