The Honeymoon in Mexico Edit With Egyptian Stylist Farida Hammouda
This is how to keep it chic and cool on your coastal honeymoon. Egyptian stylist Farida Hammouda is used to juggling. One week she's wrangling archival gowns alongside Yasmine Kenawi for some of Egypt's hottest celebrities (Rakeen Saad and Jamila Awad, to name a few); the next, she's helping pull last-minute looks for campaigns with Harry Vartan, Be-Indie, and Ramla - all while directing the infamous 'moodboard'. But lately, Hammouda's biggest styling gig isn't a fashion film or red carpet - it's her own bridal era. And no, we're not talking a single Pinterest board and a satin shoe. We're talking bachelorette, engagement parties, post-engagement dinners, post-post-engagement beach days. It's a multi-chapter event saga where the dress code is 'main character only'. Somewhere between fittings and farewell brunches, Hammouda - a graduate of Istituto Marangoni, by the way - has traded in styling others' visions for styling her own wardrobe survival. Now, she's curated the shoreside honeymoon edit for brides who've spent twelve months meeting deadlines just to earn their right to tan in peace. Think sun, salt, and fits that do not scream 'just married' - unless that marriage is to good taste. A Day at Tantra Beach Club 'On my honeymoon I really want to prioritize my wellbeing - work for once can take a back seat. Wearing sets are always my go-tos on vacation. The effort is minimal and lets me get on with the day, especially if there's a pattern involved.'

R&R but we're not resting in the ruins. I'm anticipating miles and miles of walking, so if I'm going to walk a mile in my shoes, they better be serving comfort."

The lace portrayed in this outfit is both physically and metaphorically a form of that. I love the juxtaposition of mixing very feminine pieces with edgier, sharper jewelry just like the art in Casa Malca.'

Surgeon Wins BD42,000 Payout From Private Hospital
A plastic surgeon owed more than BD35,000 in unpaid wages has secured a court order forcing a private hospital to pay him BD42,000 in total, after it failed to meet its contractual obligations. The High Labour Court also directed the hospital to cover court fees, enforcement charges and the doctor's legal expenses. Lawyer Hanan Hammouda, acting for the claimant, said her client had joined the hospital in January 2022 as a plastic surgeon, with a monthly salary of BD3,000. Amicable terms Two years later, in October 2024, both parties agreed to end the employment on amicable terms. But the goodwill stopped there. The hospital, according to the claim, failed to pay what it owed. The outstanding dues included BD35,100 in unpaid wages, BD6,000 for unused annual leave, and BD3,250 as an end-of- service lump sum. The doctor also asked that the hospital pay the cost of legal fees. In response, the hospital's representative claimed the surgeon had only been earning BD1,000 a accepted liability for the end-of-service payment and a flight ticket but denied the remainder of the claims. Hammouda maintained her position. She presented the original employment contract, signed by both sides, and cited Article 19 of Bahrain's Labour Law. That article states contracts must be written, in Arabic, with each side keeping a signed copy. Where no contract exists, a worker may prove their case by other means. In this instance, both a written contract and a valid work permit under the hospital's name had been provided. The breakdown of earnings, according to the claim, ran as follows. The doctor was employed for roughly 26 months and 10 days. Of this, 20 months and 15 days were spent working; the remainder was unpaid leave. During that time, the hospital paid him BD26,400. Based on the agreed monthly pay, he was entitled to BD61,500 – leaving BD35,100 outstanding. The court examined the paperwork. It found that the surgeon had begun work on 1 January 2022, under a two-year contract with a monthly salary of BD3,000. Evidence The hospital said the original contract had gone missing and offered no credible response or evidence to challenge the claim. Despite a mutual agreement to end the employment, the hospital still failed to pay what was due. The court ruled in favour of the doctor. Also read: 5 Bounced Cheques Leave Developer Owing BD22,500
