Aere Styling Session

When the opportunity to meet the founder of Aere, Raja Nadia Sabrina live in person presented itself, I was ecstatic. I love Aere. No, I breathe Aere. From tops to bottoms to their dresses, you name it, I love it them all. Each time Aere releases a new collection, I am always ogling at their pieces and wondering which piece will look great on me or how I can make them work on myself. I wish I could have each and every one of the pieces in their collections.

I have been reading her blog for a long time and I am super proud of her when Raja Nadia Sabrina launched Aere. Being a fan of her, I was more than happy to support her line as it reflects her belief in fashion, womanhood wearing multiples hats in our lives, as well as modesty. In this 21st Century, one can be modest yet fulfils her love for fashion at the same time. I knew this showcase was a must for me to attend.

The styling session consisted of two parts. The first was done by Aere's founder herself. The second part was done by our homegrown Singapore stylist, Camira Asrori. Both of them taught the guests to the event how to make the pieces work and be bold in our dressing, regardless if a lady is a hijabi or not.

 I liked how versatile Aere collections are. As a working lady, there are times I had to juggle between my work and social life all in a day. I do not have the luxury of time to rush home, get changed and head out again to attend an event. What's more, I usually expect myself to be in dreamland by 10pm for my beauty sleep on weekdays so that I could perform my best the next day. Social events in the late evening on weekdays do happen. They are usually special and close to my heart, and I certainly do not mind sleeping beyond my usual dreamland hours (sometimes). Thus, I need clothes which are versatile for work, outside work hours meetings and after work or weekend social life events. Aere is definitely the answer to my work-life balance needs.

Seen here are just some of the styling tips from the session.

So when the team challenged us to a styling session, my partner, Natra and I were game. Natra was the stylist and I, her model. We were given 10 minutes and allowed to only choose 2 pieces from Aere's Love collection. I think I am biased in this, but I think their Love collection is the prettiest!  

We transferred what we learned from the session and on to ourselves. Guess what, we both won! Alhamdulilah. What an unexpected win!

We both won 2 pieces of our choice from Aere's Love collection and we are spoilt for choices. I cannot wait to show the world what I chose and how to make them work for us on different occasions.

Not only that, I had even more blessed to meet up again with people I already know and even had a chance to make new friends. Oh March is definitely my beautiful month.

Looks like my Dear 2017 personal project is turning out much much better than I initially planned. It truly had been an enjoyable experience meeting one of my favourite label founder, Raja Nadia Sabrina and her team mates as well as the beautiful stylist, Camira. A true inspiration indeed.
