Feel Good Fashion & Beauty Tips
We celebrated the day of love this week and on my grid I have been sharing tips on how to practice self care and self love, as well as messages of motivation, and a few snaps from Dubai - I couldn’t resist, mentally I’m still there!
I’m rounding up this week’s Feel Good Fashion & Beauty favourites from my content on Instagram!
Discover Dubai: Your Ultimate Style & Travel Guide ✈️🌟
Dreaming of dazzling skylines, sun-soaked beaches, an unparalleled food scene, soulful desert experiences and ancient culture? Dubai, with its blend of modern glamour and ancient wonders has it all! If you are planning a visit to this desert jewel, here are a few recommendations - by popular request - on how to make the most of your trip.🌍💖
🔹 Top Things to Do:
Burj Khalifa:** Marvel at the view from the top of the world’s tallest building. A must for breathtaking vistas of the city - go in the evening to marvel at the glittering lights and catch the fountains which run every 30 mins.
Desert Safari:** Experience the thrill of dune bashing, followed by a traditional Bedouin camp evening with dinner under the stars - the desert is my absolute favourite and for me is an incredibly spiritual and beautiful place. You can arrange this through your hotel.
Dubai Miracle Garden:** Wander through the world’s largest flower garden for a surreal experience amidst the desert - and SO much more if you like to keep busy!
🔹 Where to Eat:
Pierchic:** Overwater dining with stunning views and exquisite seafood.
Zahr El Laymoun Alasy ** The most delicious Lebanese food (try the mint lemonade) with a prime view of the fountains!
Tresind Dubai** for the most incredible modern Indian cuisine at the Royal Mirage Hotel
Nobu Dubai** for the experience, to see the crazy Atlantis Royal Hotel, great people watching and fabulous cocktails and DJs - stick to the sushi if you are eating, the setting is the best in Dubai
🔹 Places to Stay:
One & Only Royal Mirage** Beautiful beachside location, and a choice of 3 hotels in one, each with its own character. Amazing service, fantastic dining and amazing service complete with sunglasses polishing by the pool - only in Dubai!
Palace Downtown** Another great spot if you want to be in the hubbub - you can book a fountain view room and they have a great Thai restaurant with a prime view of the action. Smells amazing!!
🔹 Hidden Jewels:
Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood:** Step back in time and explore Dubai's cultural heritage.
The Green Planet:** Discover a tropical rainforest in the heart of the city.
Alserkal Avenue:** The hub for contemporary art, unique cafes, and quirky shops.
🔹 Where to Shop:
Dubai Mall:** Paradise for some, hell for others - the largest in the world complete with Aquarium, ice rink, luxury cinema and more - be prepared to get very lost!
Global Village:** A cultural, entertainment, and shopping destination that brings together the world in one place.
Souk Madinat Jumeirah:** Traditional bazaar with a mix of boutique brands, souvenir shops, and atmospheric dining options - we bought gold and cashmere this trip but be prepared to haggle!
Final thoughts - take modest attire if planning on visiting religious sites or traditional neighbourhoods - I highly recommend you do - the sun is no joke, so make sure you don't get burnt and finally, don't forget your glad rags! Dubai knows how to party and the locals love to dress up, so it could be the excuse to take a favourite cocktail dress out of storage and party the night away! Have fun!

🌟Ring in the Style: New Year’s Fashion Resolutions We Actually Want to Keep!🌟
Happy New Fashion Year, style mavens! 🎉💃 As we step into the new Lunar Year - and Chinese NY 🐉🐲🐉 with fresh hopes and dreams, let’s make some fashion resolutions that spark joy, celebrate individuality, and maybe, just maybe, change the world (or at least our wardrobes).
1. *Sustainable Swaps Only* 🌱: This year, we’re trading fast fashion for lasting fashion. Let’s fill our closets with pieces that love the planet as much as we do.
2. *Fearless Fashion Experiments* 🎨: Say YES to that daring piece you’ve been eyeing. 2024 is all about stepping out of our style comfort zones and into something a little bolder, brighter, or sparklier.
3. *Invest in ‘Forever’ Pieces* 💎: Quality over quantity, darlings. Let’s hunt for those timeless treasures that will journey with us through the years.
4. *Shop Smarter, Not Harder* 🛍️: We’re embracing the art of mindful shopping—investing in what we need, love, and will actually wear more than once.
5. *Dress for Yourself* ❤️: The biggest trend of 2024? Wearing what makes YOU feel good. Let’s make this year about dressing for our own gaze, not anyone else’s.
6. *Accessory Revival* ✨: Out with the old, in with the bold! Time to give those forgotten accessories in our drawer a moment to shine.
7. *Tailoring Magic* ✂️: This year, we’re making friends with a good tailor. Because the best fit is always a custom fit.
8 *Wardrobe Detox*🚮: Clearing out the clutter to make room for creativity (and maybe a few new pieces that really speak to us).
9. *DIY Fashion Fun* 🎨: Upcycling, customising, and getting crafty with our clothes. Because sometimes, the most exclusive pieces come from our own hands.
10. *Spread the Style Love* 💖: Sharing our best fashion finds, tips, and inspiration with our fabulous community. Let’s lift each other up, one fabulous outfit at a time.
Here’s to a year of unforgettable fashion moments, daring to be ourselves, and wearing our hearts on our [very stylish] sleeves.

You’ve got this beautiful - sometimes it’s just a case of remembering how strong you really are.
