Welcome to my first blog post! I will share moments from everyday life and some travel, but most of the content will be related to fashion and styling. Are you wondering how the life of a Fashion Stylist is? Well, I can tell you that it is a lot less glamorous than you might imagine! It takes hard work, perseverance, learning studying, sacrifice, and most of all love and passion! In other words, it is not for the faint-hearted.
However, with all the hard work, long hours, up and downs, you really get a new appreciation for those true friends in your life! One of the truly unique and genuine people I have met in Dubai is my friend and client Nicole. She invited me to catch up over brunch at Nammos Dubai with a friend, and I was of course not going to let her down!
For those of you that have not been to Nammos before it is a restaurant and beach club at the Four Seasons Jumeirah. It has a great vibe and is a Dubai hotspot for the "glamorous". You may have seen influencers pose before the famous "Dior" label which can be found in several places at Nammos. And before you ask, YES I also have some posing pictures. Check out my Instagram @macridastylist and you will definitely find me posing in front of the Dior logo in a post or two! Moving on to the outfit of the day. I felt like going for something elegant but at the same time fresh and playful with some colours. I ended up choosing a blazer and shorts from one of my favourite designers, Sandro. I styled it with some pink stilettos I purchased many years ago and a Valentino bag (Roman Stud model).
Upon arriving I did the mandatory photoshoot working the angels to get some great pictures. Sometimes, the difference between a great set of pictures only good, is the model´s ability to pose in front of the camera. As a former runway model, I still get to use some of the skills I learned back in my model days. Even so, I actually arrange "posing classes" for models now as a side gig to my Fashion Styling business. Comment below if you are interested in attending or want a private lesson!
After receiving a warm welcome from the staff at Nammos they guided me to our table. I was seated at a corner table with a beautiful view of the beach club. Thumbs up! To my surprise, I discovered I was first! I ordered a bottle of sparkling water while waiting for Nicole and her friend. After waiting for 10 min they finally arrived, as always Nicole was fashionable late. We ordered food and drinks and I have to say that the food is fabulous at Nammos, especially the seafood.
Having a good friend to discuss personal life as well as business is great! Nicole and I just chatted away and time flew by! The Champagne we ordered might have something to do with us completely forgetting the time. Suddenly we both realised we both needed to leave since we had other appointments. Nicole had a business meeting and I needed to meet my boyfriend that was working from the Shai Saloon (Four Seasons). You heard correctly, hubby was working while I was enjoying with the girls! 😇😂
Anyway, I met up with my boyfriend (I am sure he was thankful he did not need to join me for brunch with the girls) and we got an Über back home. In my next post, I will share more work-related content as well as some behind the scenes from a photo shoot. See you next week!
