I am in Dubai! And it's bloody hot.
I can't even use my hair straighteners - I tried this afternoon and it just turned me sweaty and bitchy.
It's okay though - perfect hair is not required for a lazy day of popping to the mall and eating yummy food. So along with some hair frizz I also wore my H&M cheap-as-chips maxi dress.
I think everyone I know has one of these £12.99 jobbies loitering in their wardrobes. Sooooo easy. I just wacked on a light silk shirt, chunky belt and took my eBay bag on a little outing.
Photos taken in mall car park...I take you to all the best places :)
Dress: H&M
Belt: Hollister
Blouse: Zara
Shoes: Havianas
Bag: eBay - Link!
Bracelets: Hermes and Tiffany
Sunglasses: Gucci
PS. A purchase was made at Jo Malone yesterday and I am so excited to share it with you all. This might be my signature scent for life - I feel that passionately about it.
:)
Happy Saturday!

ReplyDelete@crystal - i was literally in love with it as soon as I sprayed it. ah its so exciting! :)

ReplyDeleteyou look great..I love those shades more with every pic I see :) Love that ebay bag too, what a find! I also really love the white shirt over top, it looks really casual chic.
ReplyDeleteYou look really amazing in that maxi dress!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing. Quick question...since you're a perfume lover (and so am I), do you own any Bond No 9 fragrances? I really want to try some and wondered if you have any suggestions. :)

ReplyDeleteI really like the dress and love how it looks with the belt and shirt. I've made a Jo Malone purchase today, I wonder if it's we got the same fragrance - I got Dark Amber and Ginger Lily, it is the first Jo Malone fragrance I've ever bought and I love it!

I miss your posts so much. I am so so so happy! You'll be seeing me around every day now. :)
I loveee the dress and belt!
Who takes all your pictures when you're out and about?
ReplyDeleteLOVES IT! Simple, yet chic. I still don't own a maxi dress! Would LOVE to own one with an abstract print but just cannot find one that isn't.. well, tacky looking. Meh.
ReplyDeleteI'm jetting off to Dubai in a weeks time, can't wait! Hello, Sephora! :) xo
I really like the simplicity but understated elegance of this dress! And the sunglasses are gorgeous too:) I miss Dubai! But not its weather...lol... xxx, Karine.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to buy the H&M dress but couldnt be bothered to get it altered - its far too long for me - I am only 5 ft 3 ANNOYING!
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is totally something I would wear I love it! I actually just did a post on a necklace that would have looked adorable with this haha http://xoebc.blogspot.com/2011/07/bold-and-brash.html
ReplyDeletePS totally want to check out those sunnies I am drooling over them

ReplyDeleteThat looks like Ibn Batuta Mall!!!! love it :) Been there on vacation a few times, and dislike the heat as well. On the bright side, Jumierah Beach is lovely in the night!! :) Have a great time.

defo love the look and I must say I also own that kind of dress..It's perfect for hot summer days and it's too hot here in Japan right now.
ReplyDeleteThat ebay bag is really pretty.I also bought one when I saw it on Victoria's blog and then read about it on your blog the other day. You are such an enabler you know that :) Keep the post coming Laura.. I am always refreshing your blog to see if there are new post everyday :) xx
@luckymirai - i ordered the white version of the bag too :) haha i hope you like it! xx
ReplyDeleteYou looks as beautiful as always! Hope you're having a good time in Dubai...
ReplyDeletexoxo
I love maxi dresses on taller women, but I'm only 5'2", so I look a bit like a child playing dress up with mummy's things if I wear one.
ReplyDeleteIs that the Tiffany's onyx bead bracelet? It looks so delicate and classy!
welcome back! missed you!!
ReplyDeleteyou look incredibly pretty in this outfit. Cheap or not, this is a winner!
ReplyDeletemmmm I love Jo Malone, their nectarine blossom and honey cologne makes me so happy... looking beautiful as always, Laura :)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. Heat appliances are the devil! lol I'm just putting hair cream in my hair after I wash it and putting it in a bun. Hair just does it's own thing in the heat, and you can't fight it. I've been thinking of getting some length taken off, but Autumn will be here before we know it.
ReplyDelete@luckymirai - i ordered the white version of the bag too :) haha i hope you like it! xx
ReplyDeleteOMG Laura .. LOL.. You know I was looking on the white version too. I was thinking that if the black one looks and feels really nice I might try to order the white one too.I am still waiting for the bag to arrive.I will defo going to let you know. xx Again I am so happy that you are back to blogging.My internet life would never be complete without your existence :) xxx
Laura, perfect blog!
ReplyDeleteHave been wanting to delve into the world of Jo Malone for a long time. Looking forward to hearing what fragrance you got cause I know you have fab taste in perfume.
ReplyDeleteLong ago you vlogged that you loved Michael Williamson's Sheer. I bought it without even ever smelling it to wear as my signature sent on my wedding day. To date, it is still one of my favorite perfumes.
I need need need those sunglasses :) I've been looking online and I can't find them :( what's the product code? Xx
ReplyDeleteLove how you've layered shirt over maxi dress, ill be trying this out, such a cool relaxed look! x
ReplyDeleteThat bag is amazing... I genuinely thought you'd gone and bought yourself an Alexander Wag Coco bag! I'll definitely be looking that up on eBay!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're back, I kept looking for you on lollipop and I'm very happy you're back blogging, you were missed. Just in time for some inspiration for some birthday presents for me!
