My Adventure at Maison Sez

This BY FAR has been one of the bestest months of ma life! No friggin' JOKE first all the Versace for H&M loveliness & now (to be specific TODAY'S) adventure of a lifetime in Abu Dhabi to visit the UBER chic Maison Sez Boutique (opened just a little over 8 months ago, this unique treasure trove's concept is particular & special mirroring the life/home of Ballerina Tamara Karsavina who travelled through europe promising her loved ones to collect unique finds from each place) with the lovely owner Madonna Morgan & the Expose Communication team & a whole bunch of fantabulous local bloggers.

It was everything any girl could ever dream of a limo ride with loads of snacks to the venue, we chit chatted, got to know each other more (I'm of course the newbie, the fresh meat in Dubai's world of fashion bloggers) & of course got all excited about what was in store for us upon arrival.  

After an hour plus drive (felt like a few minutes to me) we got there & were greeted by an adorable garden lunch/brunch set up with lush velvet chairs & a full on buffet of perfectly sized bites to match our perfectly manicured nails (hahahaha... mine started to peal off but in my head it was seriously ALL beautiful). After a quick bite we were rushed back into the boutique to solve our riddle (yes, we were EACH about to get a special gift from the superb store & we seriously could NOT wait to literally dive into all the clothes & begin solving them!  Before we knew it each blogger was coming across her unique find & rushing to the changing rooms to see if their tee/top/dress fit right or not! We were then given another surprise, an exclusive viewing of last season's pieces that will be on sale in a couple of months for up to 80%! Did we die? Yep, just a little but before you could even begin to comprehend we were rushed into the London room (Maison Sez has two sections: the Paris and the London section, both unique and different but both with troves of fashion treasures just waiting to be discovered) where we grabbed & snatched up all we could before going outside for some more tea time fun in the garden!

 xoxo for now ma PFFers,

P.S. Thank you to everyone at Expose Communications! Especially Dana & Rama for putting up with 13 girlies who are fashion crazed! It was such a great event! One of my first in Dubai & I will never ever forget it! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, it seriously was a GREAT day! Thank you also to the lovely Madonna for giving the UAE it's first concept boutique! I absolutely enjoyed the clothes & getting to know you & the store better! I'm wishing you ALL the best! & can NOT wait to see what you come up with next!

P.P.S. More thanks to Spread: Thank you to the lovely bloggers I met today! It was nice to fit in & feel like a part of a community of some sort! I hope to see you all again soon!
