Easter Instagram Diary

I haven't done one of these in a while, so here are my last few days/weeks in Instagram pics. Easter included lots of yummy food and chocolate eggs (as you can see, most of the pictures are of food!). The last two pics on the bottom right are from the Afghanaid charity fashion show (backstage), and the third from the top left is of one of the gorgeous H&M Conscious Glamour Collection dresses which I tried on yesterday. However, the price tag of €200 was a bit too steep for me! I did end up buying a bikini though (pictured below), for a beautiful destination which I will be going to on Saturday for a week....

Precious Afghanistan - Part 2

Some more photos from the Afghanaid charity fashion show I took part in last week - with a few cheesy backstage ones thrown in as well. Hopefully you will be able to see the jewellery a bit more closely from these pictures, it really was gorgeous! The event was covered by Tatler magazine, and I have to say it was a nice surprise to see ourselves on the magazine's webpage - you can check out their coverage here.

Precious Afghanistan - it's showtime!

You may have been aware about the Afghanaid charity event which I took part in last night from this post. Various jewelry and clothes designers got together for a night of entertainment, all with the help of raising money for Afghanaid. The precious stones in the jewelry were from Afghanistan and were absolutely stunning - I had a great time meeting the other models and organisers of the event and finding out a bit more about what Afghanaid does. What could be better than a night of fashion and fun, all for a good cause? The best part by far was getting to wear traditional Afghan costume, which was stunning with all its bright colours and detailing. To find out more about Afghanaid or the even held last night, visit their website: http://www.afghanaid.org.uk/.

Precious Afghanistan

I really love this beautiful photoshoot by Marcello Benfield showcasing the jewelry of Sima Vaziry and Pippa Small. All these precious stones can be found in Afghanistan and if anyone is in London this Thursday (15th March), you should definitely come  to the fundraising event called “Precious Afghanistan” on at Porchester Hall, London, W2. The evening will feature designs by Pippa Small and Sima Vaziry and will raise funds for Afghanaid’s vital work. Tickets are available at www.preciousafghanistan.com or on the charity’s website www.afghanaid.org.uk, where you can also find out some more information about Afghanaid's work. I will be there modelling and it promises to be a really inspiring and fun evening!
