It was actually 'Dubai Shopping Festival' when we went, so there were due to be lots of sales and offers. I was really excited for this, so I took very few clothes with me, with the intention of buying loads there. I have to admit that some of the sales were very good, but for some reason, I didn't really see anything that I liked, so only bought a few things.
Day 1:
Our hotel was next to the world's biggest mall!!! I also knew that there was a Forever21 there, and as there isn't one here in England, I was on a mission to find it. I must have been quite a sight, wandering around the biggest mall in the world, with a map and parents lagging behind me, looking for it...and I found it!

Day 2:
We relaxed in the morning and early afternoon, then in the evening, I had an absolute surreal shopping experience! We went somewhere called 'Global Village' and it was CRAZY! It was basically a huge open space, and every region of the worl had a section dedicated to it. Each of the different regions sold really traditional items and it was so fun going to all these different parts. All the regions also made sure that their space looked like their country (so I saw a model Eiffel Tower and really dressed up people!).
Day 3:
My hair also has LOADS of product in it. Curly hair and hot/humidity don't go too well together!
My morning was what Dubai is all about: Gold Shopping. If 'you've never been Gold Shopping in Dubai before, I recommend you do it at least once in your life!
There a tons of little gold stores all lined up together, with their lights blaring at their gold. The first mission is to choose a shop, then you have to decide what you want. Next comes the fun part: Haggling.
Seriously, everything in Dubai thats not in a proper mall can be d down! The shop assistants purposely price everything higher than it is, just so people haggle the price down. It really is very fun.
Although I didn't buy any gold, I did get a lot of silver. Here are my favourites that I bought:
Day 4:

nice blog
It sounds like you had quite a fun trip, Sherin! You look gorgeous in all of these photos. I'm especially loving the Guns 'n Roses tee and that skirt. :)
Sounds amazing! Love the red New Look dress. I have the same problem with hair in hot weather, luckily not much of a problem in this country.
lovely outfits, especially the tee on day 2. I'm so jealous that you went to Dubai!

I really like your style, because it seems very girly, and yet very comfortable. I'm all for the comfort!
Don't mind me asking, how far of a flight is that for you?
What you wore was perfect for walking around and seeing lots of things! Love that ruby necklace and that last photo of you is so cute.
Your look from Day 4 is my absolute favorite! Is that the Forever 21 bag with you in the picture? I almost bought it myself - now I wish I had! So glad that you had a fantastic time, Sherin!! :)

I need to live in London like now...!
But anyway, your trip to Dubai sounds absolutely lovely. I wish I could go somewhere warm! Ah and the thing you did with Forever 21 is the exact same thing I did with Zara in Greece. I forced my friends to help me find it, and when I did I only bought a dress because the prices were a tad higher than normal.
Ah and your outfits are perfect!
hey Sherin! u look gorgeous in all ur outfit pics! I love how u pair ur tennis shoes with skirts and dresses! it works for u! and being comfortable is always so much better when ur shopping around for hours! speaking of shopping u found some great buys! I love the jewelry u found! also I'm in love with that purse. I have a feeling forever21 must be cheaper in the us because here its pretty cheap for the product and even though it is my favorite store sometimes when I travel there to the mall I don't find anything at all that I like. It's really weird but it happens. I guess I didn't realize u didn't have a forever21 in england so that stinks u didn't have much luck there! well it still sounds like u had fun though and that's whats important! I hope u r having a good week!
liked your outfit in day 4. so casual chic :)
anyway, the world's biggest mall?! how long did it take you to go around the whole thing? LOL
have a great weekend guys!

i've always wanted to visit Dubai. Sounds like a fun trip, it must be nice to escape from the cold. i love that blue skirt you wore on day 4.
I love, love the way you mixed that skirt in with casual wear. So cute.
I love your skirt look with converse!!!!
I love your anchor pendant and cute outfits, glad you had a nice time!
I am Mariam used every single spell worker on the internet, spent untold amounts of money and discovered they are all fakes...i was the fool though; doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In the end, I decided that I wanted a tarot reading to know what my future held for me; I contacted a woman who lives locally to me and she told me about a man named (Priests Abija); he does not advertise on the internet, has another job for income, has no set prices, makes no false promises and refuses to help anyone that cannot be helped and even helps for free sometimes, he will give you proof before taking money. He is a wonderful man and he was the only person who actually gave me real results. I really hope he doesn't mind me advertising his contact on the internet but I'm sure any help/ extra work will benefit him.contact him here as (518) 303-6207 or spirituallighthealing101@live.com He travel sometimes.i cant give out his number cos he told me he don’t want to be disturbed by many people across the world..he said his email is okay and he’ will replied to any emails asap,love marriage,finance, job promotion ,lottery Voodoo,poker voodoo,golf Voodoo,Law & Court case Spells,money voodoo,weigh loss voodoo,any sicknesses voodoo,Trouble in marriage,HIV AIDS,it's all he does Hope this helps everyone that is in a desperate situation as I once was; I know how it feels to hold onto something and never have a chance to move on because of the false promises and then to feel trapped in wanting something
more.
