Outfit of the day - in Barcelona

I will continue writing about about our time in Spain in the next few posts. But before that, thought to show you one of the outfits I wore while we were in Barcelona. 

The weather in Barcelona was very pleasant even though it was November. So a jacket and a pair of stockings were good enough to keep me warm. 

The dress I am wearing is like a thick sweater which was perfect for the sunny but windy day. Since it was sleeveless, a white jacket kept me toasty warm during the day. And given the amount of walking required, I paired the dress with my gold flats. 

So what do you think of my OOTD? 

Dress - Forever 21

Jacket - Tommy Hilfiger

Pink Bag - Strawberry (New York)

Outfit of the Day - Fantastic Floral

I received this gorgeous floral dress from Sheinside and it was instant love! With its cream colour, the beautiful floral print, which is mainly concentrated on the sides, is well highlighted.

The material of this dress is stretch cotton which is of very good quality. Even my tailor commented on the material and said it was very good. The dress was a bit loose and also too long for me. So I had it taken in at the waist and had the length reduced. I left the the extra material at the hips as it is. This gives the dress a retroesque (is that a word?) tulip shape that I really liked :-)

I styled the dress with a narrow blue belt, blue shoes and white and red earrings to bring out the colours of the print. What I like about the dress that it can be worn formally to office and also as a party dress!

So what do you think of my OOTD?

As I was getting dressed, the idea hit me to use the matching belt of the skirt as a headband. And after that, it was all smooth going. I added the big hoops and the sunglasses for a total retro look :)

Amazing Dubai! - Part 1

As I mentioned in my previous post, I went to Dubai to meet my friend and experience the Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF). Hubby and I had a total blast and we are still missing Dubai :)

We were in Dubai for 4 days and these were full of fun from morning till night. I will provide a list of must do things in Dubai. If you are ever in Dubai, don't miss these!

As regards the DSF, I was a bit disappointed. This could be because I had just seen the awesome Christmas sales in New York after which everything feels expensive. But in truth, the sales during DSF are not that great and also the same stuff which is available in New York is more expensive in Dubai. Still I would recommend going to Dubai during DSF as the climate is the best then, and of course there are still sales going on - in case you do want to shop :)

Desert Safari: Dune bashing, belly dancing, barbeque! Desert safari is one of the best experiences ever. Enjoying the beauty of the desert while having a delicious barbeque is incomparable. Don't miss this!
