Let's Go Online!

Purchasing the latest fashion trends from the comfort of your own living room certainly is becoming more popular  than actually driving to a store, while offering a virtually unlimited array of choices and the ability to compare prices and different brands. Shopping for clothes online, whether you buy them from a big  store or a custom boutique, can get you a great style at bargain prices. But we always have the concern how this piece would look on me or would it fit you think? Here's some tips that I use to make sure that never, ever happens:

1) The measuring tape is your friend:  always check the size charts available in almost all online retailers sites. Check for sizing notes on the items you're thinking about buying.

2) Look at customer reviews, too, if they're available.

3)  Keep notes of Brands, Retailers, and Designers you've bought before and felt good in them.

4) Chat online with the store representative - if available - to get the latest news on trends

 Now in Egypt, the new trend is buying and selling items through Facebook!I have personally dealt with several of these local groups and I was really satisfied with their services. Some of my favorite FB groups are:

Looking forward to your feedback :)
 

Helsinki Through My Eyes
Merry Christmas to all my readers!

This year I traveled with my family to Helsinki - Finland to experience Christmas abroad for the first time.

I want to tell you that it was a best experience I have had in years :) I love this city.

This year the snow arrived just in time to turn the dark and rainy Helsinki into a real Christmas feeling town and spirit. Once the snow arrived we jumped to the opportunity of taking a quiet walk in the snow in Seurasaari. The snow really makes a difference, it brigs light, makes children to laugh and adults to smile.

We managed also to attend Nut Cracker ballet and La Boheme  opera in the Finish Opera House. Helsinki has a rich and impressive cultural life that features top names from both Finland and abroad. It was a new experience that I would do over again at any time :)

To sum all up, I can't wait to visit Helsinki again !
