Don’t know about you, but my favourite holiday activity involves soaking up the sun with a good BOOK! I picked up Belinda Seaward’s “Hotel Juliet” over the Xmas hols – not to boast, but I have to admit to being partly motivated by the fact that the authors sister is a good friend, and partly because the cover illustration is just so cool! The book is undoubtedly a poignant love story, set in such a clearly described backdrop of beautiful African landscape that’s its easy to get swept up and away and before you know it, with a tear in your eye, its all over! A lovely, lovely story!

We are thrilled to be opening a NEW store at the five star Westin hotel in Dubai . The location is amazing – it is right on the beach, and adjacent to the Sand Bar restaurant. What a perfect backdrop to show off our colourful kaftans!!! Whats also special about this boutique is that we have partnered with the Westin to create some gorgeous designs exclusively for their brand as well as our own products. So hotel guests have the option to buy Westin branded beach wear to remind them of time spent in a truly world class resort.
