As cold as it gets

Happy 1st December all!

I marked the date by opening the first window on my Selfridges advent calendar. This was an early Xmas gift from my parents and I literally leapt out of bed early and prised open door number 1. Behind it was a mini Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb, a late friends very favourite perfume on me so it holds a special place in my heart and was a comforting start to the day.

Dubai is currently experiencing its Winter. This means thunderstorms, torrential rain and grey gloom. You know you have lived here too long when this absolutely fills you with joy. I really went overboard with the wrapping up but I could not help myself. Plus I can never say no to a collared shirt/chunky knit combo.

The Wang bag was worn cross-body and further cemented itself as a favourite in my mind. It's so, so handy. It fits a lot, can be worn multiple ways and still remains fairly light. <3

 

Jeans: Topshop - Link!
Jumper: Brandy Melville (bought in West LA in Dubai but I think it could be this one - Link!)
Shirt: Zara (old)
Boots: Isabel Marant Dickers
Bag: Alexander Wang - Link!
Sunglasses: House of Harlow Chelsea (LOVE these....I paid a fortune for my Celine cat eye shades but these babies are the ones I would recommend to friends, at under £90. They have an extreme curve but despite the drama they are still wearable) - Link!

I am off to the hairdressers tomorrow - no work because it is National Day in the UAE (yay!)

I am not prepared mentally - as usual. All I know is that I need to cover some greys (sadly, yes this is my reality particularly on one side of my head) and chop some dead ends off but whether I go chocolate all over again or ombre it up is currently undecided. Right this very moment I am thinking dark brown and glossy. Then again a big part of me is itching for a dramatic change so I could just as easily return with some Olivia Palermo-esque mid length wavy action! :)

Let's see what happens.
