DUBAI FASHION & STYLE .....KAFTAN GLAMOUR :-)
A thousand apologies my fashionistas, I know, you MUST be thinking "Who does she think she is? To be missing in action all this time?) But Mama's been very busy, she laughs. Anyway, how are u all? Yes, I missed u too. Very quickly, 2 keep up with what I'm up to, please follow me on my instagram page which is the same name as my blog, fumisfashionfiles. So without any further ado, I was in the beautiful Dubai for a few glorious weeks and listed below are some of the "Outfits of the Day" I sported there.
I'm going to post another blog-post of all the details of my trip and what I got up to later on. But 4 now, I'll do fashion!!!
Since that's what we all truly love. Dubai is HOT (which I love) so u have to wear a lot of loose & light fitting clothes to stay cool. Not with-standing I still wanted to look GLAM & Dubai gave me all the inspiration I needed. Ha! Enjoy.

We don't have Sephora in London, so u can imagine how happy I was to see the store in Dubai. This was my go-to store when I lived in LA & NYC! I miss the store sooooooo much b'cos they're always the 1st to have the latest brand of cosmetics & fragrances. Anyway I've been salivating over the Marc Jacobs nail polishes as I've heard super great reviews about them & I'm happy to let u all know that they're all true and more. The 2 factors that I love about them are:
A) They dry SUPER fast.
B) I love all their "nudes"
You MUST try:
104 Funny Girl
106 Baby Jane
142 Fluorescent Beige
