Get the look: Back to Basics

We are in love with Zahra Adnan's ensemble! Here's how you can have it too!

Zahra Adnan wows at the Umaima Mustafa store launch. Here’s how to steal her look!

Hair and Make-up:



Zahra’s hair has been expertly blow dried, and we love the cascading waves. Go for a middle or side parting to change up your look, and try sleeping with damp hair partitioned into five or six buns. You’ll have no-heat waves the next morning! Zahra’s make-up is very minimal, and all we can see is a very light peach colour on her lips. Use Revlon’s lip butter in Peach Parfait, it suits every skin tone and has both shimmer and shine!

Outfit

We love the simplicity of Zahra’s outfit — a plain cream button down with black tights. Not only is it comfortable, it looks oh-so-chic. We’re positive you’ve got a pair of black tights in your closet, but it’s now time pay your tailor a visit, with a copy of this picture of course! Have him whip up a top similar to this one. Or, if you don’t want to haggle with your darzi, head over to Crossroads or Yellow for something similar.

Shoes and Accessories:



Run! Run to Dolmen Mall! Winter is upon us, but you can take shelter from the cold and instead warm your hearts and credit cards with the sales in store. Nude peep toes like the ones Zahra is wearing can be found at both Nine West and Charles and Keith, which have up to 50% off sales at the moment. While the Prada bag Zahra is carrying is not available in Pakistan, head over to, again, Dolmen City to grab the Charles and Keith tote pictured. As for jewellery, Zahra has gone very minimalistic. All we can see is a watch. Swatch does a similar type, and has stores all over Pakistan, so get your hands on this wrist candy from there. As for her sunglasses, aviators are timeless, so head over to your local optical store and grab a pair to jazz up your look!
