Solange's honeymoon looks

I love to see what Solange rocks on holiday.

Here are a few looks she's been wearing on her honeymoon in Mexico:

The Muzungu Sisters just went to Dubai and I got some fab tips for where to go and what to do when I go! Check it out:

Here are a few great things to try out in Dubai besides the main sites I'm sure you know about:

-Have dinner at Peppercrab in the Hyatt hotel.  The best Singapore-style crab!  Make sure you order the Golden crab or live mud crab in black pepper sauce (with the shell because it's much more fun to go for it yourself!) 

Tried to find a place that does great Singapore-style crab in London but so far nowhere comes close to #Peppercrab in #Dubai 👆#unreal #mantao #buns #muzungusisters #travels 👣 Mirror clutch on muzungusisters.com

- Go to Kitesurfing beach (behind Sunset Mall in Jumeirah 3) for a chilled beach day,  The water is great there unlike in some of the more built up parts of Dubai. Take your own Muzungu Sisters sarong to lie down on.

-Visit Deira and the Dubai Creek for a taste of how charming old Dubai was when the dhow trade was central to the emirate's existence.

-Check out Socialista boutique in Sunset Mall (Jumeirah 3) and  Boutique 1 on JBR Walk. They have all the main European and US brands but you can usually find some pieces not easily found anywhere else.

- Order heavenly white chocolate lavender cookies from Dulce D bakery orders@dulcedbaker.

-Have a burger at Elevation Burger (all organic grass-fed burgers with their special sauce) to compare to the now ubiquitous Shake Shack and decide which one you prefer!

How to Tie a Shemagh--Condé Nast Traveler

I will be doing this in Dubai:)

Travel wear: The Sweatshirt dress as inspired by Rihanna...why not?

Ok, I will be traveling A LOT while living in India.  With 3 kids in tow and sometimes traveling alone I am always trying to decide what to wear to be comfy, run after kids and still look pulled together.  I kind of love what Rhianna did with the sweatshirt dress and decided to see what other options I could find...thoughts?

Of course this is sold out at ASOS...but, still had to share...

Have one made with a pattern:)

A little more...but, it's cute for $190...Atm Anthony Thomas Melillo Long Sweatshirt Dress - Charcoal Heather

For some reason one of the first names that comes to mind when I think of sweater dress is, Norma Kamali...I so wish she still had her line at Walmart...it was brilliant!

I'm thinking an older ladies catalog could have good options too:)  Something to consider.  

5 online fashion magazines you might or might not have heard of

I'm ADDICTED to magazines...hard copies for Indian editions, digital copies on my Kindle for American editions and online issues I now check out when I'm done checking out everything else:)  Inspiration is everywhere!  What is your fave online fashion mag?

1.  ICONS UPDATE

2.  THE EDIT by Net-a-Porter

3.  ASOS Magazine

4.  Mother Mag

5.  Lonny Magazine

Now, all of the online mags above have various themes...but, fashion is attached to everything: motherhood, decorating, stores sales...I'm always curious to see how everyone spins style.  And then, I am inspired:)    

Take a journey to Colonial Africa with LaLesso

Here is what was shared in the designers email for the collection:

The Spring Summer 2015 Ready-To-Wear Collection "The Frontier" embodies Lalesso's trademark effortless chic through a range of relaxed silhouettes designed to empower and enrich your summer days.

Inspired by Colonial Africa, an era where women of all races, cultures and tribes were easily overlooked but in fact were the bravest and most upstanding of women. Their graciousness through hardship, their adventurousness and their exquisitely rich body adornment saw them through this time of new establishment, exploitation and indigenous disruption.
