This is what we sent out: (for contributions)

We are a group of three Emirati students from Zayed University, Dubai, who are working on a senior capstone project. Our project is an Emirati magazine that will shed light on previously unheard Emirati voices and talents and provide a spotlight on the UAE lifestyle. This is where you come in; we would like you to be a part of our project by sending in contributions of writings, artwork, inspirational stories, anything fashion related and more. Not only will you be given the opportunity to shine in the UAE society, but your contributions will also help us build a legendary publication that is 100% pure Emirati focused.

This is what we mean:

This will help us release the Emirati within you.  We want to give you the privilege and all Emirati’s who have something to say, basically to release your thoughts, feelings allow any of your works to be shown and prove your creative side to the world.

We believe that the work one produces usually evolves from their inspirations, thoughts, feelings, surroundings, and circumstances. These are factors that encourage or push them to do something worthy and valuable in their lives. We live in the UAE, our country; don’t you believe that it is time that WE shine?

So release the Emirati within you by showcasing your talented works, inspirational thoughts, creative designs and traditional emotions. 

The Emirati within us is released…Release yours

Bullets&Butterflies, an AMAZING, new Emirati fashion concept store that sells statement pieces of jewelry, shoes, leggings, clothing and so much more. As we entered we were amazed at the decor, the products and the tree in the middle of the store. The tree was basically made out of supportive notes from people, encouraging  and congratulating the two Emirati sisters Alia and Hind Bin Kherbash on their success. We were excited to join the support as well and signed our encouragement immediately!

Check out the AMAZING pieces for male and females available at this store!

TEDX Dubai Women


Amna Abulhoul, a twenty something year old girl, a Zayed University graduate, a semi finalist in the Imagineering competition, an art director for DOHMS, and an inspiring young women had the privilege to speak on one of the most inspirational floors today and that was TEDXDubaiWomen. 


This event that was organized by the College of Communications and Media Sciences at Zayed University was one that we could not have missed. Emirati speakers like Butheina Kazim, Basma Al Fahim, Maryam Darwish and Tarifa Ajaif were also present and took part of this re-imagination of the role of women in the UAE.


Amna as a little girl always had a dream, and that was to produce pieces of work like Disney does for their cartoons. She didn't know when it was going to come true but one fine day at 2a.m that mobile of hers rang, it rang not only to wake her up from her dreams in her sleep... it woke her up for her to start making that once a glittering dream in her mind come true.


"Hello, am I speaking to Amna?" the caller asked.
"Yes, you are...Amna speaking..How can I help you?" Amna said.
"So you are the one who entered the emagineering competition, am I right?" the caller confirmed. 
"Yes" Amna replied.


This phone call was a couple of interview questions that took place in the midst of a normal night only to be the path and steps to Amna's big dream. It was time for her to breakthrough, and on her way she did...

 Living her dream by interning at the Imagineering offices in the USA in November 2009, Amna achieved not only a lot of insights and lessons, but an experience she will never forget.


"The real magic about Disney is not the magic you see, its the sparkle you feel inside your heart." 


We were glad we attended this EXCELLENT event and be a part of the inspirations around us.

How our day went by ...

We started by buying some furniture for the day of our event 
WHICH, by the way you are all invited to on the 23rd & 24th of December 2010 at the Dubai mall.
