Holiday Highlights...

So I've neglected my lovely blog while I was on holiday but I thought I should take a quick minute to show you guys my highlights. Before I left the UK, London weather was quite decent and everyone kept on saying how hot 28 degrees was...now let me tell you that in comparison to the UAEs 42 degrees it's basically winter.

I've done a few touristy activities whilst I was there like go on a desert safari and visit Sheikh Zayed Mosque but most of the time I spent it with my family just 'hanging out'. I've also had a chance to catch up with the lovely Idil (@the_modestdoll) who was also on holiday at the time.

I've practically spammed everyone on my instagram with pictures but here are few that haven't made it on there...Enjoy x

Bubble tea love...

So for those who have never tried Bubble tea its basically flavoured fruit and milk teas with tapioca balls at the bottom of the drink. I wasn't a big fan of the milk teas when I first tried them so that put me off bubble tea because I thought they all tasted like that, but once I had the fruit tea ones I was in love! My lovely friend Helen has opened a small bubble tea stall called Sweet Bubbles in the heart of Sloane Square, just opposite the Saatchi Gallery. I went there on her opening day to support her (and steal some bubble tea drinks of course!) 

Here are some of the pictures I took....Enjoy x

The tasters were made up of lychee and Passion fruit

The simple things...

My style is basically a constant variation of these items. I'm currently obsessed with kimonos and my wardrobe is turning into a floral explosion of kimonos! I also love plain shirts and I own various ones in different shades, I feel that shirts are so easy to dress up and down. Necklaces are an accessory must for me, the way I style my hijab helps me to show off any necklace I wear to help brighten up my outfit. I've recently developed an obsession with round sunglasses and I'm in desperate need to add more in to my collection for my upcoming holiday. Also I have a new best friend in the form of my new Sony A5000 camera which I'm hoping will allow me to take more OOTD pictures from now on....To see more of my style follow my Instagram instagram.com/suzanadan/ x

Saatchi Gal part 2...

Naturally walking around an art gallery for an hour or so you tend to get a bit peckish. After taking a few pretty pictures my lovely friend Idil Aka The Modest Doll and I went to Caffe Concerto which is just across the street from the Saatchi Gallery. They serve pretty cakes and probably the best hot chocolate I've had in my entire life!

Saatchi Gal...

There are so many free admission galleries all around London that I've always wanted to visit but I never really got the chance to...until now! The Saatchi Gallery is in the trendy area of Sloane Square and they are currently holding an art exhibitions by African and Latin American artists. I don't know much about art but some of the pieces have an amazing vibe to them that can be appreciated by anyone.

Here are some of my favourite pieces...Enjoy x  

Work by Eddy Ilunga Kamuanga

Work by Boris Nzebo

Work by Diego Mendoza Imbachi

These beautiful art pieces called 'Evil Eye' where for sale for £1200...cheap huh?! I've seen one of these before of Audrey Hepburn and I was hoping to see that one..but these are just as cool.

Casual Fridays...

There is nothing better than being a tourist in your own home town. Idil aka The Modest Doll and I decided to explore the cute Covent Garden area and buy ourselves some Macaroons. Here are some pictures from our day out...Enjoy x

A Sabyasachi dream...

Sabyasachi Mukherjee is an Indian fashion designer who I have always been in love. Sabyasachis 2015 collection "Big Love" started off with one of the most amazing fashion editorials I have ever seen, he then followed this by a beautiful runway event to showcase his designs. I love how modest these clothes are and I am absolutely obsessed with the accessories he used like the round sunglasses and Tiger purses.

This was the first editorial that I saw and fell in love with...Just look at how cool they look!!

Sabyasachi's '70s Bollywood-inspired line has lots of floaty boho skirts and print-on-print outfits that are breath taking, if you already know me you would know that my favourite fashion trend is mixing prints especially stripes and florals. I've picked some of my favourite looks from the runway to share with you...
