i've been spoilt rotten by retail in singapore and hong kong...would you believe it...i've only shopped for 3 shirts since i've been here...got everything i need...dubai is great for big brands...its the quirky ones i miss ...

As i only wear Ralph Lauren, Timberland, Tommy, Lacoste, Yves St Laurent, Chaps and Greg Norman casual wear, i know exactly where to shop.

well...lets see.

shirts: breshka, forever 21
skirts: promod
dresses: forever 21, zara
jeans: zara breskha
pjs: lasenza
shoes and heels: pretty feet, pepermint, charles and keith, sketchers and nike.

lol..i guess thats enough info for now

Work stuff: Mostly Zara
Casual: Anything I like. No fixed store. Depends on who is having a sale.
Shoes: Aldo or if another store tickles my fancy

Dishdashai / Kandora: This place in Mercato (forgot the name). Nice tailormade kandoras and I get my material from Italy. When you go local you gotta look good. I like to top it off with a baseball cap and nice big sunglasses (usually a cheap brand 'cause whenever I used to get Fendi I would break it 2 days later by sitting on them
Just to look cool

Whatever takes my fancy at the time.

Don't Emiratis get offended if other non-Emiratis wear Dishdasha/Kandora? Somehow I think I'd catch some flack if I tried to wear an Abaaya.

I dunno about the offended part.

But for myself, I don't look quite like a European or what have you, so no problems.... I am an Arab Kanelli

There's a guy that lives opp us who is obviously English, speaks with a thick Geordie accent and we very often see him in a dish-dash.

No kanelli no one would care if you wore a abaya i see lots of women who arent local wearing them

well. i wear an abaya most of the time. and i i see a european wear a kandora or an abaya. i dont think im going to get offened. i might stare abit. its not everyday u see one...but i think its cool

Wearing abaaya is not specific to some country.. many of the muslim women wear abaaya from morocco to indonesia.. yet Arabs wear more..!

Anybody
