Monochrome Monday: The Amethyst Edition
Purple is a paradox. It's natural but elusive, royal yet rebellious. It's a colour that's never neutral, never forgettable. This week, we're skipping the sweet pastels and diving into amethyst: the deep, moody, cool-toned purple that channels both calm and power. Not quite violet, not quite plum, amethyst is the power suit of the colour wheel. It flatters everyone without ever fading in. It's the kind of hue that shifts with your energy: soft when you want it, striking when you need it. Whether sheer or structured, it doesn't just match the moment, it creates it. Long Lace Gown | Honayda
Soft in texture, strong in presence. This all-lace piece turns delicacy into drama, proving sheer doesn't mean shy. Daar Dahlia | High Tide Statement Blouse
Structured and saturated, this blouse wraps like armor but wears like ease. A deep-cut silhouette in deeper colour. Granita Full Set | Hadia Ghaleb
Where violet meets vacation. This breezy wrap set brings bold energy to the beach, one sheer layer at a time. Selena Mini Dress | Chic Le Frique
All transparency and texture, this mini dress keeps things light while turning heads. A confident piece that's playful at heart. Amethyst Drop Earrings | Jude Benhalim
Part gemstone, part sculpture. These silver-wrapped drops feel ancient, elemental, and made to be seen. Begum Crystal Slingback Pumps | Amina Muaddi
They're not just heels, they're the exclamation point. Clear, lilac-tinted, and built to make an entrance (and a fast exit). Bon Bon Satin Bucket Bag | Jimmy Choo
Compact, silky, and finished with a silver chain handle. This is amethyst distilled into accessory form. Mirage Crêpe Kaftan | Taller Marmo
A deep plum kaftan that floats with you. Perfect for movement, layering, or simply owning the moment. Crystal Oval Sunglasses | Fendi
Amethyst-hued lenses and a barely-there gold frame. They don't block out the world, they tint it just enough.

Monochrome Monday: The Apricot Edition
Whether it's tinted across Fendi's barely-there sunglasses, or wrapping your wrist in gold from Alison Mariot, the shade lends warmth without weight. Apricot lives in the sweet spot between softness and spice - less saccharine than peach, more grounded than orange. This week, we explore the colour through sculptural swimwear by Mayoh, handwoven sandals from Zyne, and a Costarellos gown that moves like silk poured at golden hour. From sequined wrap skirts to sunrise-ready athleisure, apricot shows up in pieces that shift from breezy to bold without breaking a sweat. Whether it's tinted across Fendi's barely-there sunglasses, beaded into Aliel's curved handbag, or wrapping your wrist in gold from Alison Mariot, the shade lends warmth without weight. This is apricot in all its moods - playful, powerful, and quietly glowing. Colette Gown | Costarellos A halter-neck fantasy in gathered silk. This apricot stunner drapes like liquid light, cinching and flowing in all the right places. Basita Handbag | Aliel Textured, curved, and topped with a beaded handle that feels more talisman than accessory. Apricot goes artisanal. Sandy Sandals | Zyne Flat, featherlight, and handwoven to perfection. These slip-ons capture the carefree energy of apricot: unfussy, easygoing, and made for chasing warmth. Alison Mariot | Gracieuse Watch in Apricot Sleek, petite, and dipped in apricot and gold. This is the kind of timepiece that doesn't shout, it whispers luxury, one glint at a time. Apricot Set | Aligned Athleisure Sunrise workouts start here. This fitted two-piece gives 'hot girl walk' a warm-toned upgrade — stretch, sweat, and still serve. Solaris Skirt | Maram Sequins and chaos, in the best way. This deconstructed wrap skirt shimmers with every step, styled for mischief and main character moments. Mayoh | Bikini This isn't poolside, it's power play. With oversized shoulders and sharp lines, this apricot bikini turns swimwear into sculpture. First Crystal Sunglasses | Fendi Apricot-tinted lenses with a crystalline cut. Barely-there frames that feel more aura than accessory. Hashishet Albi Bag Charm | Sarah's Bag With warm apricot tones woven into its Damascene pattern, this charm adds a wink of colour and a whole lot of heart to any bag it graces.

Kim Kardashian's Skims Is Opening Its First Store in Dubai
Kardashian knows how to enter a market. The only question is: will your bank account survive the fitting room? Aug 05, 2025 First it was the Fendi collab. Then it was Neymar Jr. in boxer briefs. Now, it's SKIMS at Mall of the Emirates. Kim Kardashian's billion-dollar shapewear label is making its brick-and-mortar Middle East debut, and the location says everything: foot traffic, luxury appetite, air-conditioned Instagram backdrops—Dubai understood the no formal announcement yet from the reality star (Kim loves a slow burn), but the storefront is already wrapped in SKIMS branding—like a soft launch in literal form. For fans of the brand's buttery bodysuits, cloud-soft cotton basics, and unapologetically neutral palette, this means one thing: IRL access, no international shipping move is backed by Al Tayer Group—the same force behind Saint Laurent, Harvey Nichols, and that entire Ounass checkout tab you swore you'd stop using. SKIMS is no longer just DTC gold; it's high-stakes retail. With the UAE's retail spend expected to hit $95 billion by the end of the year, and average luxury spend per shopper already among the highest globally, the region isn't just ready—it's ripe.
