Hey guys, hope you all had a good week! Any nice weekend plans? We are heading to Abu Dhabi for a bloggers luncheon at the Ritz Carlton Hotel hosted by DeeforDana, which I’m really looking forward to! Such a nice way to meet other likeminded people and share stories, so make sure to follow my snapchat SandDblog to see what we get up to.

This is final look we shot at Anantara Sir Bani Yas and features a newly discovered brand. The best parts about moving countries is that you get to appreciate a different culture, meet new people and explore local designers. One of my go-to stores so far has been BySymphony where I came across delicate pieces by Madiyah Al Sharqi. Dubai-based designer, Sheikha Madiyah Al Sharqi creates soft statement pieces using beautiful fabrics in a modern way and they feel so good to wear.

The trousers stood out to me immediately, I love the 3 tone pastel panels and the tailored yet relaxed fit. To continue with the laid back theme, I styled the peep shoulder top over the trousers rather than tucking it in and finally added some sparkly flats.

What do you think? Do you know of any other UAE designers I should check out? Let me know in the comment box below! x
