HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAMIS!!!

LOVE YOU!!

Marami is Happiness

I've been eyeing this necklace at Marami for a week or so and I finally came to my senses and bought it.

Marami is happiness, every time I walk in there I walk out with the most amazing piece - like those giant pink crystal glasses and now this necklace.

I'm a pink fanatic so the necklace immediately stuck out to me but I also really love the unique placement of clasp in the front, it gives the necklace a real edge. It feels more like a collection of little treasures than your typical necklace. I found the combination of the pink stones, gold clasps and turquoise coral to be so attractive.

Jewelry is such a personal experience and this necklace was definitely calling me.

Every time I put on a piece I bought from Marami, it's like wearing happiness - I get a huge smile on my face and it puts me in such a good mood.

Whoever said money can't buy happiness clearly hadn't shopped at Marami.

Princess Ballerina Outfit from BabyBling

We have a new edition in the fam, so of course I immediately drove down to the BabyBling in the Village Mall.

When you don't have a little tot to spoil, baby shops seem to stock cute items BUT when there is a baby in the picture EVERYTHING becomes the most adorable item you have ever seen and you need it immediately. Blinged out VIB (Very Important Baby) onsie? Yes. Sheikha pacifier? Yes. White mini Mercedes convertible? Yes. She may not fit for two years but it's never to early to think about your baby's first toy car.

I finally decided to get this cute cotton tee and shorts (think onsie made into twosie). It combined my two favorite careers, princess and ballerina!

House of GlaMO Tee

Check out my new tee from House of GlaMO, which I bought down at Marami. I absolutely love this shirt, I think it's funny, I like the message and I like that it's says Dubai <3;s U, as opposed to everyone copying I <3 NYC shirts. I also adore the fact that I got the shirt in grey, my fav.

Funky Bling Ring from S*uce

So the other month I posted about the cool acrylic Funky Bling that S*uce had custom made.

Obviously I'm S*uce fanatic, so I couldn't be more excited when I got a "Shou Hellwa" (Look Pretty) Funky Bling ring! The ring fits across three fingers, it's very Gaga fabulous - it's humorous, cool and playful. I tend to wear a lot of black so it really makes an outfit for me.

Ahh I love it!

Go check them out @S*uce x

Dreamdays.ae

A few weeks ago my friend Samer asked if I wanted to do a scuba course, he sent me a fb msg with some info and a link. The link was to www.dreamdays.ae, a Dubai based site that focuses on making your dreams come true.

The site lists various experiences, with the price and also provide a call centre. You could having a cooking lesson at Nobu, drive exotic cars or dive with sharks.

www.dreamdays.ae is genius and I'm all about making my dreams come true.

I met Dean and Dan from DSQUARED

Tonight I met Dean and Dan from DSQUARED, my favorite brand since I was 17. When I was first introduced to the brand 8 years ago, my life completely changed. Their clothes were weird, beautiful, funny. It was inevitably a part of me, instantly.

Meeting Dean and Dan tonight was such an amazing honor. Their clothes really gave me the confidence to be me, that it was ok to be funny and weird.

Thank you Dean and Dan.

Maria Bonito

I love Mexican food, it is by far one of the most superior cuisines. Is there anything better than guacamole, salsa, nachos, tacos or facos (fish tacos) as my best friend Steph refers to them.

I'm always on the search for the best Mexican restaurants, some include Maui's upcountry Mexican eatery (where they make fresh buttery almost pastry like chips), London's Cafe Pacifico (where the salsa is so amazing that you can buy it in tubs to go) and now Dubai has official entered my list.

Maria Bonito is down in Jumeirah and is without a doubt the best Mexican in Dubai. Their restaurant has a lovely traditional boho feel, with seating outside and a parrot too.

The guacamole and salsa are mouth-watering, filled with my favorite, cilantro.

All great Mexican restaurants can be marked by one drink, horchata. All the greatest Mexican restaurants can be marked by homemade horchata.

Horchata is a traditional Mexican drink that can be made with rice, almonds and cinnamon. It's quite possibly what I imagine the rivers in heaven must flow with.

Maria Bonita's homemade horchata is really unparalleled to many I have tried. In fact every week I have to control my many stops to MB for horchata.

In fact, enough with this post. I'm driving down now to get a drink.

A big shout out to Naomi, thanks for a really lovely afternoon and the nice words you wrote about me :) x

Dolphin Bay @ the Atlantis

Last week I turned 25 (!!) and as birthday present my boyfriend took me to swim with dolphins at the Atlantis.

I swam with dolphins when I was about 10 or so in Hawaii but Dolphin Bay was something super special. We had a private deep-water session, with one dolphin and trainer.

I had spent a whole day (ok well 2 hours at the mall) contemplating what swimsuit look to fashion at Dolphin Bay but there was no need because as soon as you arrive they make you wear Atlantis wetsuits. The swimsuits are made of super thick material that will basically keep you afloat in deep water; it was like wearing a Spanx onesie.

Cathy, our dolphin was sooo cute and super smooth to touch. She loved lying on her back while we rubbed her belly, she even closed her eyes like a little dog and at one point the trainer had to tickle her to wake up because she was so relaxed!

She gave us kisses on our cheeks, dolphin rides (think like how one would hold a kickboard), showed us her best moonwalk and sang happy birthday to me!

It was such a special day and I highly urge everyone to go to dolphin bay.

MARAMI (I'M OBSESSED) Part II

I also got this headband which I think is perfect to wear instead of a hat to the races OR as Nadia pointed out, that at a night out at Zuma, the headband would look quite nice with a simple outfit.

Agreeeeed!

MARAMI (I'M OBSESSED)

What makes me happy? Clearly these awesome new-pink-crystal-encrusted-nerd glasses.

The glasses are from an American brand called Amortr and you can get them at Marami in the Dubai Mall.

Marami is like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory for adults, a high end accessories store where you want everything.

I really did want everything, I think I tried on over a dozen glasses but thankfully Nadia, the store's very helpful sales lady guided me to the right one.

Blogger, graphic designer, pink, nerdy - it's me, no?
