Eddie’s jewelry is a study in American costumejewelry, rock “n” roll and New York City’s heritage.

Tala rocking Elizabeth Lau

This week we chat with the fabulously chic, styling and blogging extraordinaire of My Fash Diary, Tala Samman.

How does it feel like to be coming to Doha?

Excited! It's my first trip to Doha.

On My Fash Diary you surprise us every day with new effortlessly stylish outfits. Have you ever kept a track of how many clothes, shoes and bags you own?

Nope, I have closets in Dubai and London as well as lots of my clothes in my sister's cupboards... I'd be quite scared counting them. I'm a self confessed shopaholic!

You're studying fashion at university, you're a stylist and a fashion blogger, and you've worked with some of the world's biggest fashion houses like Tom Ford and Halston. Ultimately, what is your greatest fashion ambition?

Evolving the fashion industry in the Middle East.

What is the biggest fashion crime you ever committed?

I can't think of any... and maybe that's a good thing.

Finally, what are your 3 Impression Boutique must-haves?

A Doloris Petunia frenemey cuff, a brooch by Anne-Marie Herckes…and Bernard Delettrez’s FULL collection! 5
