Summer essentials 2019

​I have been wanting to write this post for a year now!
and today as I make my way to my 25th birthday; I decided it's time. 

I'll share with you my summer essentials that take my summer from being ordinary to that little 'extra' 

Here are 6 of my summer essentials

1. Charles and Keith black summer slipper 

These slippers that me & my bestfriend stumbled upon one time when we were shopping at the mall and since then 
The three summer months of 2018 I have been wearing them all the time!! * not exaggerating*

Note that I never felt comfortable showing my toes at all but because of them I got a pedicure and put on minty nail polish and rocked them my way out. 

Thank you Charles & Keith for my summer essential two years now!

2. Seashell Egypt summer bag 

I get very hesitant when it comes to summer beach bags because I have bought dozens before and not a single one survived more than two beach visits.
Every time they get either damaged from below or the handle gets cut off..

But this one which I got as a birthday gift did not fail me!

The perfect beach bag for the summer and holds ton of stuff! 
It's also very fashionable and is available in different colors but this was my favorite with the red tassels.

​Oh and if you know Palma bags: this brand is like a sister to it!

3. Zhivago slippers 

I only trust Birkenstock for footbeds that don't torment my feet but I decided to try on Zhivago slippers after checking their website as it seems they care and understand about their products. 

I got the Delhi slipper the one in the photo on left and bought another one the Tropical fringe the one I'll put its photo below. 
Apparently my size differed from one model to another even after they told me they are the same. 

The Delhi slipper: 
Upper material is fabric & the outsole material is medium soft Polywrethane footbed for maximum comfort.

The Tropical fringe is the same in outsole material but upper material is cotton. 
Both are washable & suitable for indoor & outdoor use.


I have wide foot so not all slippers make me comfortable but these two are very comfortable! Highly recommended.

4. Sunglasses 

Yes I know this differs from one person to the other but it's an essential.
One that I spent 7 years looking for and finally laid my eyes on it! 
This is my Fendi cat-eye sunglasses which was pricey but very worthy!

5. My pink bottle 

Hydration is very important in the summer but the one thing that stuck by me for the past two years (which I got for 150 EGP and now found it for 800 EGP) 
is my pink good vibes bottle by Victoria Secret & Pink.

If I was lost in a crowd, you will find me with it. 

Tip: want to learn to drink more water? Get yourself a stylish bottle that will remind you every time you look at it and take it everywhere with you even to work. 

6. EMMA 

The search is over for light and breathable fabrics that won't suffocate you as a hijabi in the summer months. 

My shopping buds come to your emma for closure and as they are as cheap as the ones you find in the mall.
They are so worth it with their material that is tailored to help you feel beautiful and light. 
I restock from Emma every once in a while and somehow their Ombre scarves work well with tons of outfits. 

Also I would never wear black scarves before but their premium black is so good that I bought two and wear them everyday.
