Shout Out Of The Day: Moda Operandi x Del Toro Trunkshow

I would normally disregard anything with the word 'loafers' in the title, they just seem like fads to me and are really not my cup of tea, but these Del Toro shoes are a complete exception, velvet and playful designs that make you feel like a five-year-old again.Seriously who wouldn't want them?

Unlike most casual slippers these come in colourful illustrations to add an extra bit of pizzazz to whatever you're wearing.Sport them at work or out and about as a goofy respite from heels in between outings.If you dig the shoes, wander over to Moda Operandi's online trunkshow to cop yourself a pair of cheeky slip-ons.

Exclusive: S*uce In The Hood Launch Party

With the dashing boutique, highly-charged ambience and hip hop music exciting the crowd, S*uce In The Hood launch party was a hit.Attendees from across Dubai city joined in the fun, posing for cameras at the photo booth and nibbling culinary creatives from Fait Maison Cuisine.The party presented a huge graffiti wall by Dubai-based graffiti artist Sya that read s*uce in the Hood in Arabic and a surprise guest appearance by Guinness Book of World Records holding dancer Christopher Lawrence. 

So what’s s*uce in the Hood exactly? It's a brand new concept by s*uce, yet an extension of the playful, quirky multibrand retail concept, but the idea is that it is easily accessible – within your own “hood” or neighbourhood.The boutique stocks the coolest crop of cutting-edge international and regional designers that are, as always girly, but with a lot of edge.Some you may already know and love, others you may have never even heard of, but once you do you will wonder how you ever lived without them!  

Filles a Papa, Mar Mar, TNTees by Tata Naka and Onepiece jumpsuits are but a few of the brands featured in the hood.The focus is on every day wear with a lot of extra s*uce added on.So that means: witty trucker hats, slogan tees and sweatshirts, deconstructed patchwork denim, vintage embellished t-shirts, cross stitch and blinged tongue-in-cheek customised clutches, sweatpants, platform jelly shoes and lots lots more.Many brands and collections at s*uce in the Hood will be exclusive and not available at any other s*uce location.

Now you can relive the best saucy attractions from the hood, exclusively on My Vitrina!

Noir's Around The Block

The furthest thing from those flashy plexi clutches that litter the mall, these nOir lucite wowsers are a party in a box, from their bright, see-through exteriors to their Swarovski embellished sides.It's going to take some major personal restraint to prevent ourselves from purchasing every colour.They are just perfect in every way! Good thing, because this is one bag you’ll happily clutch long after the bagaholics are on to the next trend.

Available at Valleydez.
