Blue Below

Hi everyone!

Here's a super casual outfit I wore recently. I got these cute blue pants from Zara, as I love the yellow ones I got a few weeks ago so much! They are pretty much the same, but the yellow ones have a slightly looser fit at the bottom, so these are even better! They have them in all colours. I'm definitely getting more!
For a comfy look I wore my white blouse and white pumps to match. I thought I won't be boring again with my usual nudes!, so I decided to wear this amazing blue bag from Charles and Keith!

OOTD - Jeans Obsession

Hi everyone!

My love for ripped jeans continues! I'm always on the look out for a great pair! These ones from Zara I got a couple days ago and they are definitely my favourite pair so far! I have a similar ones, but a lighter version and they are also from Zara! I think Zara has the best jeans! I simply adore them! The rips on them are soo perfect and I love the colour too! I'm very picky when it comes to my jean colour! I also love that they fit me perfectly. I prefer skinny jeans over the 'boyfriend' ones. 

Here I paired them with a baby blue blazer that is super old! , but actually this is my first time wearing it! Blue sunnies to match and nude accessories as usual! Super comfy and great for the day. A blazer with jeans is one of my favourite combos! Easy to style and always on point!

Blue Meets Yellow

Hi everyone!

Here's a super casual look I've put together recently, great for those hot weekdays in Dubai! I got these cute yellow pants from Zara a while ago and they are actually on sale now in the UK my sister told me! They are so comfy and of course I love yellow colour! I wore them with a grey top before, so here's a 'colour block' version! I love how yellow looks with blue! and these type of pants are great to have in your closet. I'm sure I will wear them with many items like blouses and blazers!

Get Skinny Body Contour at Talise Spa - Review

Hi everyone!

A while ago I visited the Talise Spa at Madinat Jumierah, here in Dubai. I tried the ''Get Skinny Body Contour" treatment as I've never tried a body wrap before and the name totally sold me! :) The treatment lasts 90 minutes and it is said to give your body a quick 'pick me up' toning session, remove your toxins and bloating. Just an overall great feeling!

I haven't been on the best food routine lately, I have to say!, so this was a great way to 'un-bloat' me and make me feel light again! Especially in my middle section! 

I love going to spas! Before every treatment you get to enjoy the facilities, dip in the plunge pool and go to the sauna and steam room! I didn't get much of that though!, because of course I was taking pictures and the lady for my treatment was waiting for me! 

The spa itself has around 26 private rooms for treatments. We went outside to my room, it was lovely! I felt like I was on holiday! The Talise spa is really big and it has a very beautiful outside pool as well! 

My treatment began with a lovely full body scrub. Each room has it's own shower, so you shower during the process and after my body scrub I had a mask put on that smelt like lemon grass! Actually everything smelt like lemon grass and everything was pure and made with amazing ingredients! 
My mask was on for about 20 minutes while I was wrapped in foil and towels. The bed was heated so the mask could work it's magic! I felt super comfy and warm!. While that was happening I got a nice head massage, which didn't give me headache!, so I was happy!!  After my mask I went to the shower to wash it all of, then I had a contour gel put all over my body. 
That's how my treatment ended! I finished off with some nice ginger tea and some dates to eat in a resting room.

I felt really nice and smooth! Although the contour gel wasn't very moisturizing, so my body felt a little dry after a few hours, but your are supposed to leave the contour gel on for the rest of the day, for it to work! I did feel the difference in my body though!, as it was definitely looking a bit more toned and slimmer! I really enjoyed it and it's great treatment to have before an event or a important day!

Bond Girl

Hi everyone!

Here's an all black outfit which I think is pretty 'bond-esque'! 
I've worn this amazing fringe skirt from Mistress Rocks for a few nights out recently and here I paired it up with a slightly 'bond-age' inspired crop top from Oh My Love! I just adore these two items together! To keep with the overall theme I had the perfect accessories! - my gun clutch and black louboutins! - Hope you like this look! - I certainly had fun wearing it! It's one of my favourites at the moment for a night out! ;)

Ripped

Hi everyone!

You might have noticed from my blog posts and my Instagram that I'm very much into ripped jeans recently! They are just so bad ass! cool and stylish! Matched with a crop top, blazer or blouse, they just always look so good! This was an outfit I wore yesterday for a casual day out - comfy & noticeably stylish! - it ticks all my boxes! The bright neon crop top from River Island hasn't been out of my closet for a while - but I thought I would pair it up with these latest ripped jeans I got from The Kript! To compliment those items, I chose my nude gun bag and a pair of nude pointy heels!

Friday Fragrance - 212 VIP Carolina Herrera

Hi everyone!

I find what perfumes are actually composed of quite fascinating! It actually makes me love them even more! Usually when you read what notes they have, you're super surprised!, but then it all clicks! I found that with this particular fragrance - 212 VIP from Carolina Herrera. This fragrance has been my favourite for a long time now! and every time I wear it I feel powerful and sexy! I didn't actually include it in my 'Top 5 Fragrances', which I posted here on my blog before, because I wanted to review it individually! It is without doubt one of my top fragrances, especially when it comes to evening fragrances. It's just so classic and sophisticated! It's very sweet and a little bit musky. This fragrance was inspired by the energetic life of New York! - the city that never sleeps! Young, stylish and modern people! and I couldn't agree more!

212 VIP and the original Roberto Cavalli are my two top perfumes for a night out! This scent has everything I love in a fragrance! It's sweet, sexy, mature, it has a gold bottle and it even has my favourite number in the name which is '2' - not to mention having Rum in it's notes! - which is my all time favourite drink!:D 

It has Vanilla and Tonka Bean as it's base notes. Musk and Gradenia as the middle notes and Passion-fruit and Rum as the main notes! - which I can very much smell! and which makes me love this perfume unconditionally! I'm running out of it quite soon and it's definitely one that I will repurchase over and over again! 
The scent is very long lasting, which is a 'must' for an evening perfume!

Too Vogue For You!

Hi everyone!

Today's look is very casual and also super comfy! I'm definitely more of a classy, 'girly girl', rather than a sporty chick, when it comes to what I wear!, but here I combined a little bit of both! and of course I added some classy heels! 
Black and white is simply my all-time favourite colour combination, so I'm in love with this cute 'Too Vogue For You'  T-shirt! It's super stylish!

Shiffa Sweetness Body Scrub - Review

Hi everyone!

I love body scrubs and I'm always on the look out to find the best one! Today I wanted to review the Shiffa Sweetness Body Scrub, which I have been loving recently!

I love very strong scrubs, that do the work they are supposed to do properly! I don't like the ones that dissolve so fast and after 5 seconds you are basically done scrubbing! - if you know what I mean!! ;) but I also don't like scrubs that are too harsh! - like salt based ones for example.

This is probably the first sugar based scrub that I've tried, which doesn't really dissolve so fast. It's quite amazing! It has great ingredients such as aloe vera, rosemary, almond oil and coconut oil, that makes the skin silky soft! 
The thing I don't particularly like about this scrub is sadly the smell of it! Although I'm getting used to it now! It's definitely 'not my cup of tea' type of smell! - it's quite strong! 
This scrub is very oily and so I usually use it first and then I follow with the shower gel and I'm left with perfect skin that has just the right amount of glow and moisture to it! If you don't mind the 'oily feel' and your skin is quite dry, you can use it after your shower gel and your skin won't even need a moisturizer! - it's that good!

This product separates because of its oil contents (as you can see on the picture below) - which is a little sad!, so you do have to mix it very well before every use!, but it's based out of natural products, so it's bound to do that!
Overall I highly recommend it! Smell it and if it's your kind of scent, then you will fall in love! and even though the smell bothers me a little, I still love it!, as it's a great great product! Who knows I might even love the smell one day!;)
You can get it at Sephora here in Dubai.

Emerald Butterfly

Hi everyone!

I got these cute emerald butterfly heels from Aruna Seth quite recently and I couldn't wait to wear them! They are just so girly and they are in my favourite colour!! - so I'm extra excited!! :D
When I wear such statement heels I pretty much dress from down up! so I coordinate what matches with my heels. Here I went with a little bit more green and wore this simple silky top from River Island. I decided to keep things classy and fresh so I wore white shorts and a white vest! I love this outfit from day to night!

Rainbow

Hi everyone!

Midi skirts are so in style now and I found one that is a definite eye catcher, as well as being very affordable! This H&M multi coloured skirt is extra girly and can give any look that extra pop of colour! I just adore it! Here I paired it up with a simple nude top from New Look, nude YSL sandals and my new nude clutch from Vlieger & Vandam. I think this is great casual summer look, with a bit of an edge to it! 

Thanks for checking.

Sunshine Pop

Hi everyone!

I've been absent here on my blog for quite a while, but I'm back to regular posting now and here's an outfit of the day I wore recently! If you follow my blog you know I love yellow and I've actually never worn it with grey! I think those two colours compliment each other so well! I love it!

Friday Fragrance - Diptyque Florabellio

Hi everyone!

Today's Friday Fragrance is a little bit different! - not exactly something I would normally pick!
Diptyque Florabellio is a super fresh, salty and quite a strong scent! 
When I first smelt it, it reminded me a lot of 'Alien' by Thierry Mugler - which unfortunately gives me a headache! The notes are totally different for both of these perfumes, but somehow it smells so similar. The Florabeillo is a lot fresher though! The thing that I like about this fragrance is the apple blossom note, which makes it really fresh and floral. I personally love apple blossom notes in any perfumes, that's why this scent might just make it into my collection!  

The top notes of this fragrance are Sea notes, Sea Salt and Fennel. The Sea Salt notes remind me very much of a Calvin Klein Reveal perfume! I feel like if Thierry Mugler 'Alien' and Calvin Klein 'Reveal' had a baby, then it would be a little Florabiello!!! 
The middle notes are Apple Blossom and Osmanthus, and the base notes   are Roasted Coffee Beans and Sesame, which I must say I can't really smell!

The longevity of this perfume is moderate. I also really like the bottle design! It is a classic Diptyque black and white theme and clear bottle! 


Thanks for checking.
