So in order to increase my cardio vascular exercise routine I headed to Dubai mall (yup thats the biggest mall in the Middle East), a local haunt of the GCC shoppers and expats alike.
Its located in the UAE and approximately a stones through from Burj Khalifa (tallest building in the world, for those of you unaware).
So anyway in order for me to skip the gym and be able to keep up my heart rate, a little treat was in order and I'm pretty sure you all can guess what followed.... SHOPPING!
So after going to the top few stores on my list (Bloomingdales, Gallery Lafayette, Zara, BCBG, Sauce, H&M and a few other standard stores) I ventured into Topshop.
Quite frankly Topshop was never on my list of top ten places to shop in the UAE, I know that might sound strange and please don't get me wrong I love Topshop in the UK and the US, but I feel (and also know) that they the buyers don't bring the truly great pieces to the UAE instead only the pieces that I classify as half way (neither here nor there, lightly confused). So you can only imagine my surprise when I saw myself taking part in a Top shop blowout :) !!!
Further more thanks to my Grazia insider card I didn't manage to break the bank receiving 20% discount, making the splurge even more exciting.
OK... so what did I buy?... well surprisingly I brought 3 pairs of shoes, a cocktail dress, a long jersey dress, two rings and a neon pick lipstick (which I'm obsessed with).... all the essential summer buys...... I'll post the shoes today and the rest will follow shortly... TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS xxx
I'll list them below with their respective prices:
Twister Crochet Lace AED115
INT Gorgeous Blocks AED 425
INT Wreckage AED325
