Dubai World Cup



What’s the dress code for Dubai World Cup? Official recommendation would be ‘a modest dress’, whatever the word ‘modest’ means in your world. There’s no rule for the dress length, quantity of jewelry or type of shoes. Why bother defining the level of dressing up in Dubai when it’s always the same – infinite.

Dubai World Cup is an ultimate fashion event though and trying to define a fashion faux-pas would only scare off the most inventive ones. I say let’s give it a go and see how many sequins is too many.

Look, there are horses too. We forgot…

Shopping for Kids' Clothes



Who says you can enjoy only shopping for yourself? Shopping for kids’ clothes can be just as exciting. As a matter of fact, I recommend it as a therapy on your fat days. Why would you bother thinking about your own spongy thighs when you can mock someone else’s?

For those who are struggling with raising a kid, seeing the child as an accessory can help. Ok, this didn’t come out right. I meant that styling this gorgeous little clown can make your day. Like a manicure!

And if you find a garment too cute for someone who is too young to appreciate it, you can always keep it for yourself. Who knows how much you’ll shrink after that new low-carb diet.

Designer Shoes and How to Get Them



How to get your hands on those beautiful, magnificent, shiny designer shoes? I won’t keep you waiting for this one - there is an old and tried out technique your grandmother told you about – marry that guy next door, better known as ‘controversial businessman’ or probably called ‘respectable lieutenant’ in your grandma’s time, whatever, the principle sustains.

This would be the easy way. You can always get crazy and find yourself a really good job instead, but then you won’t have time for a pedicure, so what’s the point in wearing the fancy shoes then?

And it’s not about whether you can afford them or not. These days it’s more about whether it’s sane or not to give away a small fortune (a few thousands in every world’s currency) for something that’s going to sweep the dust. And to think that for the same amount you can buy a fine, used, ‘lady driven’ car…

So, what does your heart say?

I thought so…
