Influencers Zainab Al Alwan, LJ Loujain Adada, and Mariam Hussein have been spotted wearing key pieces from the collection, proving once again why APM Monaco remains at the forefront of fashion jewelry. The new collection captures the warmth and vibrancy of the South of France, a place that has long inspired the brand's identity. Each design channels the effortless elegance and inviting charm of Mediterranean summers in golden light, serene beaches, and the relaxed sophistication of coastal living. At the heart of Collection Été is Les Galets, the French word for pebbles. These smooth, rounded forms echo the natural coastline of the Mediterranean Sea, reflecting the tranquil rhythm of waves meeting stone. By incorporating these organic shapes into necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, APM Monaco has created jewelry that feels both contemporary and timeless. The pieces embody the laid-back yet polished lifestyle that defines the French Riviera. Another recurring motif is the sunshine ray, a subtle design element that symbolizes the region's radiant golden light. These motifs, understated yet striking, bring a brightness and joy to the collection, while palm tree silhouettes add a touch of tropical elegance. Together, these elements transport the wearer to the promenades of the Côte d'Azur, where the interplay of light and shadow creates a scene of endless summer. To enhance the collection's summer spirit, APM Monaco has incorporated seasonal stones such as turquoise and malachite. Their bold, refreshing hues contrast beautifully with the warm glow of yellow gold, adding vibrant pops of color that make each piece a statement in itself. Whether worn casually during the day or styled for evening elegance, the collection is designed to be versatile, easy to wear, and perfect for mixing and matching. This versatility was on full display as Zainab Al Alwan, Loujain Adada, and Mariam Hussein styled the collection in their own unique ways. Zainab highlighted the collection's playful side, pairing turquoise accents with effortless summer looks. Loujain brought out the collection's timeless elegance, demonstrating how easily the pieces complement more formal styling. Meanwhile, Mariam showcased the jewelry's bold, trend-forward edge, wearing standout designs that captured attention while remaining refined. Together, the three influencers exemplify what APM Monaco stands for: a brand that merges fashion with lifestyle, elegance with accessibility, and luxury with everyday joy. APM Monaco is not just jewelry; it's a feeling. The brand has long described itself as 'chic, fashion, and smile,' and with Collection Été, that spirit shines brighter than ever. From its roots in Monaco to its presence across global fashion hubs, APM has built a reputation as a leader in the silver jewelry market, celebrated for its creativity and craftsmanship. With this latest collection, the maison once again captures the essence of summer and offers jewelry lovers around the world a way to carry a piece of the French Riviera with them, wherever they go.

Renting in Dubai: Everything you need to know
In Dubai, you can choose from long term and short term rentals for apartments. If you're choosing to go for a short term rental, usually electricity, water and other bills will be included in the rent. Short term usually refers to under 6 months and long term will be over 6 months. Finding a property to rent There are various platforms where you can find apartments, villas or houses to rent in Dubai. Try Bayut, Property Finder, or dubizzle where many agents will advertise properties. Payments One of the main things that expats find different in Dubai is the rent payment methods. In many countries, tenants pay an equal amount every month as rent. However in Dubai, most landlords will ask that the tenant pays larger amounts via cheque, this could range from one payment to four or five payments for the entire year. Dubai Land Department, has since digitalised the process and you can now often pay via direct debit. The Rental Index for fair rent pricing The Rental Index was introduced by DLD this year to encourage fair rent for both landlords and tenants. It uses AI and big date to provide accurate predictions of rent prices for properties. The index assesses the area, building, facilities, demand and more and provides an accurate price guide. Ejari Once you have signed an agreement, you must register your tenancy contract with Ejari. Ejari means 'my rent' in Arabic and is mandatory for all registrations of tenancy contracts. Ejari ensure that all rental contracts are officially recorded and you'll need it to set up utilities. DEWA DEWA stands for the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority and the department is responsible for just that. You'll need to register and activate your electricity and water as you move in. Chiller free vs district cooling Dubai can get hot, especially in the summer so that's why most properties in Dubai will have air-conditioning in some form. There are two main types in Dubai, district cooling and chiller-free. District cooling means that there are large air-conditioning plants around the city that supply to apartments. For district cooling, there are consumption charges and demand charges. In chiller-free areas, the landlord bears the complete cost of air-conditioning and tenants only pay for electricity consumption. Hidden costs to be aware of when renting in Dubai If this is your first time renting in Dubai, being aware of hidden costs will save you freaking out when it comes to payment time when you are renting in Dubai. Agency fees. For those using an agency, these are usually 5% of the annual rent. Ejari fee. This varies due to method however the standard is Dhs100 plus VAT. Housing fee. This amounts to 5% of your annual rent and is paid through DEWA billing system. Security deposit. The security deposit is usually 5% for unfurnished properties and 10% for furnished properties. DEWA deposit. The DEWA set up is Dhs2,000 for apartments and Dhs4,000 for villas. There are also activations charges as much as Dhs300. Cooling. Some apartment towers are chiller-free which means air-conditioning is not charged for, other towers are not and you'll need to pay, plus a deposit on set up.

Bela Padilla questions Customs over alleged overcharging on online purchase
Actress Bela Padilla has called out the Bureau of Customs (BOC) for allegedly overcharging her on taxes for an online order of hair products. In a post on X on August 16, Padilla said she was billed P4,600 in taxes for a shipment worth only P11,000. Based on the BOC's online calculator, she estimated that her tax should have been around P1,650, noting that beauty and wellness products are subject to a 15 percent rate. 'The taxes imposed on me were nearly three times higher than the amount indicated in the BOC calculator,' she said, adding that while she has no issue with paying taxes, she wants to be charged the correct amount. In response, the BOC said it is 'promptly reviewing the details' of Padilla's purchase and clarified that its online calculataor 'only provides an estimate' and does not include the landed cost such as freight, insurance, brokerage fees, and other charges. Padilla, however, raised concerns that the tool may mislead consumers if it gives inaccurate figures. She also emphasized the need for transparency in Customs fees, saying many Filipinos have shared similar experiences. The actress added that she was informed the tax calculator would be taken down temporarily for updating.
