Live – Ash Hamdi

Sometimes we all lack motivation, we feel trapped or just down. In moments like these the only thing we truly need is inspiration. Inspiration can come in a lot of shapes and forms. I’ll be honest with you, Friday wasn’t my best day, I felt a bit down even if I was with people that I love, my mind was elsewhere. Then I watched an inspirational video by Ashraf Hamdi (@ashrafhamiworld) and somehow I felt better. It’s not a magic spell but somehow these clips with that music and these words were exactly what I needed.

Pop Up Shop

A couple weeks ago we headed to Pop Up Shop (ig @popupshopeg) where Seif styled and shot, and I modelled. With a lot of pieces to pick from we ended the day with 3 fabulous outfits.

LOOK 1
This outfit made me feel glamorous. The fur coat itself is enough to make any girl feel fabulous, but the mix with the pants, white tee and converse gave the outfit a girl next door vibe which was an instant confidence boost (laid back outfit + statement jacket = hot). And don’t get me started on the outfit’s colour palette, the pinkish peach tones (which happen to complement my skin *just saying*) looked absolutely gorgeous on the pieces.

LOOK2
This look is mysterious and conservative yet is a statement. To me this look is like a book’s first chapter, it says a lot but doesn’t reveal too much. Also can we talk about the fact that I’m wearing a Kojak shirt (thank you Seif for including it in this awesome outfit and stay tuned The Style Pharaoh x Kojak *soon*).

LOOK3
This is the same exact outfit as the previous one except that Seif traded the trench coat with a black fur and leather jacket. With this simple switch he was able to demonstrate how a jacket can influence an entire outfit. This outfit is simple. speaks for itself and is timeless (also it reminds me of what a modern day Audrey Hepburn would’ve worn).

AND AS A SPECIAL TREAT AHRAF HAMDI EDITED A COUPLE PICTURES FOR US (ig @ashrafhamdiworld).
