If you, like me, are looking out at the rain (yes, believe it or not, we do get rain in Dubai – just not a lot!), and you just wish you were somewhere else then let me recommend a really cheap and environmentally friendly way to do just that – buy a good book and escape! Ive just finished the most amazing, wonderful book that you must read! It was so good in fact that Im getting it for all my friends for Christmas this year. As the blurb suggests you just need to trust that you will love it, there is very little information given, which in itself intrigued me. All I can tell you is that once you start on this incredible story, you will not be able to put it down! Add it to your list for Santa…and let it pour!

As the season will be soon upon us, we at StarBlu feel it is time to celebrate our successes,and share with those less fortunate. With this in mind, we will be launching our new charity appeal in next months newsletter. As you can see, we are proud to have helped sponser the building of a new orphanage in Kathmandu Nepal, and are committed to use our business to act for social change in the future. Here one of our staff members is sharing Dwali with kids that she met on her recent visit to the orphanage. Please let us know if you have a charity that is dear to your heart – no matter how small, and we will endeavour to feature it as our way of saying thank you for your support.]]>
The boys started their day with the luge (a must for adrenalin junkies, pre-breakfast advised!, then chose between football, tennis, swimming, iceskating, golf etc to fill in the rest! They (ie boys + wanna-be teenager father) hired downhill mountain bikes quite a few times – the idea was that they thought this would be relatively easy as you just get the lift up and then whoosh down! Or at least that is what I thought! Au contraire, it was tough work, at times fairly technical … and declared to be the best thing they had ever done! Meanwhile I was released to potter round the village, take exercise classes at the state-of-the-art sports centre, read my book by the pool (sheer bliss!) and contemplate life. We will definitely be back, and I thoroughly recommend this kind of holiday to any of you past the sandcastle stage! Do let me know if you have had happy holiday experiences that you’d like to share. Meanwhile, Im planning our ski holiday back there now!!! anne@starblu.com

My friend Dorcas has been been trying to get me to read this book for years now, so its not new, but this summer I finally got round to it and Ive just got to tell you, this is one amazing read and undoubtedly one of my favourite books in a long time! Suffice to say, this is the kind of book that you get so involved in the characters and the story that it actually becomes hard to switch off from it. It is an amazing love story (and so much more), set in Leningrad in 1941 during the invasion of Russia by Hilter …… The best thing I can advise is to plan a bit of ‘Me’ time, curl up in a comfy armchair and enjoy! I seriously envy you the treat!
Have you read something fab over the summer? Im trying to compile a list of StarBlus top 10 favourite holiday reads. The first 10 people to submit their choice will win a £ 10 StarBlu voucher. Please email me ; anne@starblu.com
]]>The St Martins (pink) kaftan and a blue St Lucia Butterfly kaftan are both a gorgeous fit and the fabric, colours and styles are both flattering and unique – they made me feel as if I was already on holiday!
I hope the site continues to expand and sell beautiful and classic summery pieces – can’t wait til my next holiday to treat myself again!
Thanks again."
