I love going to pop-up shops around the world in which I got excited when The Mine had set theirs up ‘The Mine Pop’. It had a list of independent designers and brands which I was happy to get to know. Its good that today, the community is supporting the independent brands by providing a platform. I got to meet alot of wonderful people that I believe will change fashion over time.

The Mina is known for their Art exhibitions but they decided to also bring in fashion as creative minds are beautiful.

 Sun Kiss, is a brand I am falling in love with. This surfing bikini’s are perfect for the Dubai weather, or any hot place with a beach or a pool just at your feet.

 Robert Wan… what can I say … I love you guys … Its a pearl heaven of all colours and sizes and different styles from necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings. In other words a must have in your life !!

 I love the fact they could tell by your personality from a wee chart , what pearl best suits you!

 All Things Mochi…. A independent brand I have been love with even when I was in Scotland. They are fun and colourful from jackets, skirts, tops and bags. I really like how their collection is based on places that inspire them.

 My love for Dinz Clothing is above and beyond.. been checking them from instgram with their collections every season. I am not a monochromo kind of lady but I am in love with their collection !

The lady behind it showed me that you can use any piece of clothing she has designed with a mixture of outfits. Sometimes I do find it hard to pick out just plain simple clothing… she just made it easier for me !

 I was soo happy to see a menswear boutique this time as we sometimes neglect men when it comes to fashion. The Remy Rue Store is an online store with all apparel and accessories for men but I believe us women can rock it too.

 Lovely seeing beautiful drawings of characters Maryam Al Zaabi and zodiac card by another fabolous Maryam.

Wekafore is a post-modern contemporary street-wear brand… I really like their collection as its a mixture of textures and styles. It brings street wear to Dubai up a noch for men and women!

I always say don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone once in a while… this brand allows you to do it without over doing it.

Suave makes me feel so comfortable as its a breath of fresh air to find a men’s wear brand that tries to keep things simple but yet make it funky. The textures of fabrics vary and just gives it a casual feel witha a statement.

 It was great seeing t-shirts with typical phrases or things we see and grew up with in Dubai from Digital Gravel DXB.
