Take time for yourself

Take time for yourself

I recently made a commitment to take better care of myself. Who did I make the commitment to? Me. Because me, is where it starts. 14 weeks ago I commenced a health and fitness journey, whereby I partake in 3 personal training sessions per week and take actions to maintain a clean, healthy diet. Sounds intense, doesn’t it? But that’s just it, taking care of myself, whether it be physically,…

Jumeirah Vittaveli

Jumeirah Vittaveli is a little slice of heaven. Heaven for me, being a pristine island, set amongst the most stunning crystal clear, blue ocean, with all the luxuries I could possibly hope for. But this can be said for almost every island resort in the Maldives, so what makes Jumeirah Vittaveli stand out?

Our recent experience at Jumeirah Vittaveliwas undeniably superb. It’s the standard of…

modest dressing 101

We all know that Ramadan means that, in general we should be adhering to some modest dressing principles. But looking around me at the several iftars and suhoors I’ve attended in the past couple of weeks, it seems as though most women see that as a need to wear only kaftans for the entire month. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good kaftan as much as the next woman, but I also like to play around…

A first of its kind Wellness Community, Women’s Wellness by BETADINE® uses the importance of health as the basis for this safe-haven, where women can go for relevant and informed advice and information as well as learn…

Instants Chic with Promod

Instants Chic with Promod

Promod’s Limited Edition Collection has all my boxes ticked for Ramadan. And no, the title of this post is not a typo. It is “instants chic” as in chic moments, you know, er in French. I’m fancy like that. But I suppose the general gist I’m trying to get at, is that you can achieve instant chic with this collection! For those of us living in the Arab world, Ramadan is just about upon us and if…

Ramadan with Farfetch

Ramadan is just around the corner, and although I don’t originate from the Arab world, having lived in Dubai for over 12 years now, I feel like a seasoned pro at appropriately dressing during Ramadan and Eid celebrations. So much so, that I thought I best share my expat knowledge with the rest of the world!

I partnered up with Farfetchto give a little insight into how I prepare for Ramadan and…

Jewel Corner

I recently discovered affordable fine jewelry brand, Jewel Corner. As I’m a firm believer that accessories can make or break an outfit, I often find myself searching for the perfect earrings, necklace, bracelet or ring to complement a look. My conclusion is, you’ve got to stock up on quality staples when it comes to jewelry, just as you would your wardrobe. While, you might look to a little black…

She's Mercedes

She’s Mercedes

She’s Mercedes indeed. For the last few months, I’ve been getting around in the most luxurious cars I have ever driven. First, albeit briefly came the G63, then the beast that is the AMG GLE s 63, followed by a series of E-class vehicles, which I like to fondly refer to as the E for Einstein series (test drive one and you’ll know why).

But the most interesting part of partnering with Mercedes has…

In-store at Rebecca Minkoff

Rebecca Minkoff has finally opened its doors in Dubai, and while there are surprisingly still many people over here who are unfamiliar with the brand, I, personally have been a fan for years.

Through my previous years as a flight attendant, flying all over the world, one of my all-time favorite destinations was New York. Cliche, I know. What can I say, girl loves to shop! So, I inevitably came…

summer pant suit

I’ve spent most of the winter obsessing over pant suits, and now that summer is approaching I’m shifting my obsession onto the summer pant suit. What? You didn’t think I would just move right on, did you? The obsession runs far too deep, to not push through into summer!

Especially as I’ve already found the perfect summer pant suit and summer hasn’t even began!

This Sandro suit is not only the…

Festival feels

Festival fever is nigh. With a little over a month until Coachella, not to mention Glastonbury, Firefly and Bonnaroo following closely behind, it’s high time to start building the perfect festival wardrobe.

Whilst this Coach look is a little more Fall, a little less Summer-fest, it has all the right festival qualities- boho, chic, a little disheveled and a lot practical. If festival dressing is…

Lebrasse X Hashe

With the fashion industry in full Fall Winter 17 fashion week mode, I want to take a moment to finally share a little SS17 project I did with amazing regional designer; Ava Hashemi of Hashe. Although the industry might all be looking to Fall Winter right now, it will be forever and a day until we’re all donning plastic adorned trench coats a la Calvin Klein and wet-look, asymmetric dresses chez…

Dima Ayad capsule collection

Dima Ayad capsule collection

Dima Ayad is one of my favorite Dubai-based designers. It’s not just that I appreciate her talent and general design aesthetic, it also has a lot to do with my love of the woman herself. I’ve said it before, (really, I have-you can read it HERE!) I have a soft spot for Dima Ayad. But I’m an honest person and if I genuinely didn’t like her collection, then I genuinely wouldn’t wear, photograph or…

Last October, Fashion Forward launch the EPIC initiative to pair industry partners with regional designers in order to mutually benefit and develop both parties. Having already come across Ava Hashemi and her stunning expressive, clean designs last season, it was so natural that we would come together on this initiative.

Festive style. Dress your best.

Festive style. Dress your best.

Festive style:

of, relating to, or suitable for a feast or festival, in this case Christmas.

  The festive season is well and truly upon us and that means never ending Christmas party invitations, New Year’s celebrations and gatherings galore. It’s that one time of the year, when dressing festively is not only widely accepted, it is completely encouraged! And so to help you along the way a…

The winter boots edit

The winter boots edit

I have to commence this post with a disclaimer. I don’t believe there is such a thing as “winter boots.” Especially not in a place where winter is almost non-existent. Which is why you’ll find me sporting boots all year round. Come rain, hail or shine, I’m a boots lover and can find a purpose for these wardrobe staples anytime.

Having said all that, this current Autumn Winter season has delivered…
