FASHION
Delcore is the designer brand I’m obsessed with. The aesthetic really speaks to my personal style – it blends classic elegance with a modern twist. A standout piece I have my eye on is the tailored hourglass blazer – both sophisticated and a major statement.
Schiaparelli was my favourite show at couture week. The attention to detail in the designs always blows me away. One in particular that caught my eye was the incorporation of surrealist elements – it’s always so artfully done.
One under-the-radar brand everyone should know about is Thebe Magugu. The designs effortlessly blend cultural references with contemporary silhouettes. Another name worth mentioning is Patou, mainly for its timeless yet innovative approach to fashion. O have my eye on an orange dress from Thebe Magugu and a white shirt from Patou.
A trend I'm excited to try this summer is roses. Whether it's through floral prints, delicate embroidery or romantic ruffles, I want to infuse my summer looks with a touch of floral femininity.
When it comes to wardrobe staples, Loewe is my go-to brand. Its relaxed-fit denim jeans are a key piece in my wardrobe. The quality and comfort are unbeatable, and I love styling them with a crisp white shirt and statement accessories.
My 'I don't know what to wear' outfit always starts with my black Frankie Shop oversized blazer. It's versatile and adds an instant touch of sophistication to any look. Other times I go for a white tank top, denim skirt, and my favourite cowboy boots from Ganni.

I love shopping in a well-curated department store. Some of my favourites include THAT Concept Store, Vao and Harvey Nichols Dubai. Recently, I stumbled upon some exciting new brands like Rave Review and Chopova Lowena that have quickly become favourites.
When it comes to online shopping, MyTheresa is my go-to. Its selection never fails to inspire me, and the user-friendly interface makes the shopping experience seamless. The last thing I bought from there was a black and white Coperni t-shirt.
For evening or event dresses, Galvan is my favourite brand. The long black dresses are so timeless and elegant, but still with that modern twist. The sleek silhouette and luxurious fabrics make the one I have a standout piece in my wardrobe. It’s perfect for special occasions.
In the summer heat of Dubai, my go-to look is usually a chic monochrome set from COS. The lightweight fabrics and minimalist designs keep me cool while still looking polished. Right now, my favourite is this white set from the Ramadan collection.
On holiday, I dress in a more relaxed way. It’s usually a Jacquemus t-shirt paired with either a denim skirt or trousers from Diesel or Loewe. It’s the perfect balance between comfort and fashion.
Janthee is my favourite swimwear brand right now. The attention to detail and commitment to quality ensure that each piece not only looks good but also fits beautifully. Plus, the range of styles caters to different body types, making it inclusive and empowering.

For fashion inspiration, I've loved following Vicky Montanari. Her style is just so effortless, but with a focus on modest and relaxed fits. I admire how she mixes textures and colours to create unique and stylish looks that are both fashion-forward and wearable.
When it comes to interior design, I enjoy following Adenwang. The minimalist aesthetic, combined with pops of colour, creates a really lovely harmonious and inviting living space. I love how they balance simplicity with personality, creating a home that feels both modern and cosy.
My guilty pleasure follow is Le Guide Ultime. It's a treasure trove of the best food places in Paris, and I can't help but drool over the mouth-watering dishes. It's the perfect source of inspiration for my next foodie adventure.
For wanderlust content, Norrskenet is one to follow. The stunning landscapes and hidden gems are truly awe-inspiring, and it really encourages me to explore new destinations and go on new, epic adventures.
If you're in need of a dose of glamour, follow So Much Trouble. From fashion editorials to behind-the-scenes glimpses at fashion week, it's a feast for the eyes.

TRAVEL
I love exploring new places. Recently, I went to Italy for a shoot, near Lake Como and I stayed at Casa Sull'Albero. A dream holiday I'd love to book for this year is Japan. I'm fascinated by Japanese culture, cuisine and traditions, and I'd love to explore Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. From visiting ancient temples and serene gardens to sampling authentic Japanese cuisine and soaking in onsens, there's so much to see and experience there.
For a staycation, I love escaping to Fujairah and staying at The Address Beach Resort. It has a beautiful seaside setting, luxurious accommodation, and so many ways to unwind and relax. It's the perfect getaway for a change of scene.
BEAUTY
My heatwave beauty essential is the Indie Lee SPF Primer. It's a multitasking product that not only protects my skin from harmful UV rays but also primes it for make-up. The lightweight formula gives my skin a healthy glow while blurring imperfections, making it perfect for hot summer days.
One of my favourite new beauty discoveries is the Gel Lotion Fusion Supercharged Glow Facial Serum from Oio Labs. It's full of nourishing ingredients like tremella mushrooms, and it leaves my skin feeling hydrated, plump, and radiant. I love how versatile it is, as I can mix it with my primer, moisturiser, or foundation for an extra boost of luminosity.
A beauty ritual I've adopted is facial icing. Using ice cubes or specialised ice rollers to massage the face, it helps to tighten pores, reduce puffiness, and improve circulation. It's become a refreshing addition to my morning skincare routine, and leaves my skin feeling really revitalised.
When it comes to beauty inspiration, I love watching TikTok. The platform offers a diverse range of content, from make-up tutorials to skincare tips, and I enjoy discovering new techniques and products. Plus, it's a fun and entertaining way to stay up to date with the latest trends.
FOOD & DRINK
The breakfast I’m eating on repeat at the moment is at Apricot. The Turkish manti – delicate dumplings filled with flavourful meat or vegetables and topped with creamy yogurt and aromatic spices – is so delicious.
Lately, I've been snacking on carrots with cumin and lemon. It's refreshing, healthy and full of flavour. I simply peel and slice the carrots, sprinkle them with ground cumin and then add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
My favourite dinner to cook is foul moudammas. It's a traditional Syrian dish made with cooked fava beans, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and a blend of spices. I serve it with warm pita bread and a side of fresh vegetables.
When I’m entertaining, I always turn to Syrian cuisine for inspiration. Some standout dishes that people must try include mujadara (lentils and rice topped with caramelised onions), fattoush (a refreshing salad with toasted pita bread), and kibbeh (savoury meatballs made with bulgur and ground meat).
My regular drink order is an iced matcha with unsweetened coconut milk. The best ones are to be found at Dips and Orto.

CULTURE
I always enjoy visiting the galleries in Alserkal Avenue, especially Firetti Contemporary. It showcases a diverse range of contemporary art from both local and international artists, providing a platform for creativity and cultural exchange.
One podcast I've been loving is The Identity Crisis Podcast. It's a thought-provoking exploration of identity, culture, and belonging, with a touch of humour and relatability. I appreciate how it tackles complex issues with honesty and empathy, sparking meaningful conversations and reflections.
As far as binge-worthy series go, I recently rewatched New Girl and fell in love with it all over again. The quirky characters, hilarious antics, and heart-warming moments never fail to put a smile on my face. It’s the perfect blend of humour and heart.
The latest Hunger Games film was a thrilling ride from start to finish. I enjoyed the intense action sequences, thought-provoking themes and it’s sadly accurate representation of the current global situation.
