Wrap-Up ... in a Pink Ribbon

English

It's a wrap! 

Bras for a Cause Middle East held two major events in Beirut and Dubai and showcased the fabulous creations that were submitted for this one of a kind competition in the Arab world.

It was amazing to see the sketches coming to life on the runway....

Of course in my case, I wish I could have attended at least one of the events live. Instead, I've had to settle for whatever I could find on the net. 

I was looking forward to the Beirut show and was so excited to be in town at the time. Unfortunately, I couldn't get out of the house due to some difficulties with my pregnancy. Everything is OK, but at the time, I couldn't stand straight... Let's leave it to that (now is not the time to rant).

So I started counting the days to Dubai's Edition of BFAC. Again, pregnancy strikes and wins. I could not travel. I still am stuck in Beirut, weeping at my laptop screen!  

If like me, you're still craving for some pink glitter by the fabulous and sexy squad, fear not.

The winning designs are now available for sale at all the supporting outlets! Yes!

Basically, I'll have to settle for my own private fashion show:

• Date: Post-delivery 
  I'm not ready to look at myself in a sexy bra right now... Pregnancy hormones (and extra kilos) can be scarier than your 75 year old neighbor dressed up as a pumpkin and knocking at your door asking for candy this Halloween
• Location: My bedroom
  Improvise, always improvise. I have a very large bed which will make for a perfect runway

We can all find our favorite designs at:

• Galeries Lafayette (Dubai)
• K-Lynn Lingerie (Lebanon, Kuwait and Dubai)
• Pink Dust (Amman, Jordan)
• Amuse Concept Store (Cairo, Egypt)
• Cream (Beirut and Jeddah, KSA)
• AuraB.com (Online Boutique)
• Maison Bo-m (Riyadh, KSA)

Of course, I can't help but make a special mention of Yasmin Khlaifat's Cupcake Fantasy as I was the blogger who represented her design and supported her during the competition. After we found out she was one of the winners and her piece got picked up for production, I couldn't wait to see how that fabulous sketch would turn out in fabric! Curious?

Here's the actual Cupcake Fantasy you can purchase at the partner-boutiques:

Not forgetting one of my favorite pieces from the Designers category; the Return of the Queen by Joe Challita:
