{HARI RAYA} ZALIA

Zalora’s resident label Zalia may not be a new player in the game, but one that I know I will keep returning to. Effortless, precious, and romantic; the brand is almost like a lovechild of Zuhair Murad and Elie Saab which is no wonder that these two are the main sources of inspiration for the label.

On the subject of Raya, I picked out a few favourites for my sister and myself. On Iqah, I chose the geo sequined mermaid dress; a cascade of embroideries pouring over the black silhouette which complemented her figure and made her look as if she was a character from one of the A Thousand and One Nights stories (or perhaps The Real Housewives of Brunei would be more fitting).
As for myself, I chose this floral embellished printed blouse to complement my ruffle skirt from Lubna. The colours reminded me of Posh Spice in her gorgeous Cavalli dress (huge huge fan of Vic so I remember most of her memorable dresses hehe). 

Here in Phnom Penh, my family only celebrates Hari Raya/Eid for one day so I didn't particularly came equipped with 5 extra dresses. 

In another note, the news have been a lot to bear recently so wishing everyone a very blessed and safe Raya with your loved  ones wherever you may be. 

love,
