7sin, 4shanbesoori and Norooz. (Haftsin, Charshanbesoori and Norooz) - Iranian New Year

Salam! Chetori?  Hhaha, Heya guys, so I have a lot of Persian culture and lifestyle involved in my life, This blog post is dedicated to 7sin (Haftsin), 4Shanbesoori (Charshanbesoori) and Norooz, which is Iranian New year.  So In the picture above, you'll see what I wore on the night my mother-in-law had done the haftsin and we had a big Iranian dinner.  Just a simple Pemplum black vest top from Newlook, with blue stonewashed skinny jeans from H&M and my Gold chain bracelet in my Right arm, also from H&M.  Other than that we did more than just have a dinner in the night of Haftsin... we partied in Brighton for 4shanbesoori and spent some quality family time together on the day of Norooz - Unfortunately I couldn't take part for ALL of Norooz as I was up at central St Martins at my Fashion course.  However, here are some more pictures:

This represents the Norooz occasion.  Apples, flowers, xerxes in the background who was a Persian king and ofcourse and beautiful Persian lady.

Counting down the days to Norooz!  As you can see there is sabzeh (which is grass), birds, flowers, a fish and apples.  The flowers and references to nature and the sun represent the spring as the first day of spring is the start of the Iranian new year.

What was worn to haftsin at my other halfs house.  Black pemplum vest top from Newlook, blue stonewashed skinny jeans from H&M, Pink heels with bow from Kurt Geiger and my Golden Chain bracelet from H&M also.

The Haftsin preparations!! As you can see, the sabzeh, fishies and Iranian sweets that we normally have with Chai (Iranian Tea).

One of my FAVORITE Iranian dishes!! Kebab Koubideh with white and yellow rice, spicy morgh (chicken), and Shirazi salad - My favorite salad of all time!! This is what we ate on the night of Haftsin.
