New Breton stripes and breakfast

Breakfast at The Scene this morning was interesting. Mainly because Helen and I spent most of it slack-jawed, watching Donald Trump give his acceptance speech… mad altogether.

As one of my friends said on Facebook earlier today: ‘Sure, it’ll be good craic anyway’. That it will my friend, that it will 🙂

Anyways, enough election talk – it’s time to focus on more lighthearted things like yummy breakfast and new clothes!

The Scene opened their gorgeous outdoor terrace a few weeks ago so that’s where we parked ourselves this morning for a bit of grub. They’re running a great 2 for 1 offer on their breakfast menu at the moment, so Helen had the omelet and I had crushed avocado and eggs on toast.

Sitting out there this morning made me realise how much I love this time of year in Dubai – the temperature was perfect, the food was great and the view from The Scene’s terrace is incredible. #Blessed 😉

The Scene Dubai, Pier 7, Breakfast, Simone Scribes

Just before we scarfed down the breakfast, I asked Helen to take a quick picture of me so I could showcase my new top.

After I saw the picture I said to her; ‘oh my god, the state of me! I need to wear more makeup’.

I left the house in a hurry this morning so the makeup effort was pretty poor. I really do feel very bare when I don’t have a decent amount of slap on. Who else feels like that? Eyeliner in particular really does it for me, so when I don’t have lots of it on, I feel naked/old/tired.

The Scene, Pier 7, Dubai, Whistles, ASOS

The new top in question is part of an ASOS order that arrived yesterday (hurrah!).

It’s a beautiful Breton top from Whistles and it caught my eye because I’m a fan of Breton, and currently have only one other in my wardrobe, which is made from a heavier material – too warm for this time of year.

This one is nice and light, and a jersey/cotton mix, so it’s structured but also slouchy and super comfortable, and it has a gorgeous tie detail on the sleeves.

You can roll it up and tie at the elbow, or roll it down to the wrist and tie it there. Lovely 🙂

I wore it with my trusty Frame Denim jeans and the usual other bits and bobs.

 

I should also just mention my hair really quickly.

I paid a visit to Anthony yesterday and he spruced up my mop like never before! I’m talking cut and colour, extensions, the whole shebang – but more on that later this week.

Now, I must away and get ready for this evening as Laura and I are going out for burger and beers. We’re super ladylike like that, and we’ve both been eating healthy in preparation, haha! 😉

Thanks for reading, and see you soon!

A night in the bed of dreams thanks to the @dermal A night in the bed of dreams thanks to the @dermalogicaire team ✨ 

Their new Dynamic Skin Retinol is an exciting launch as it’s suitable for entry-level users (using once a week) and experienced users (using several times a week). 

It contains a 3.5% retinoid complex, concentrated squalane and beta-glucan (an oat-derived humectant), so it’s powerful but hydrating and soothing at the same time 👏🏻 

They brought us to @westburydublin to celebrate the launch with the wonderful @louise_dermalogica (she’s patiently answered every nerdy skincare question I’ve ever put to her 😂) and honestly, I can’t believe it’s already over - so here’s a post to help me go back there for a moment.

@beautyofjoseon_official Relief Sun SPF50. It’s made with 30% rice extract so it’s super gentle and particularly great for sensitive skin. 

It’s lightweight, hydrating, not sticky and leaves no white cast on the skin (and it’s amazing under makeup). 

If you’re looking for a new sunscreen, try this. It’s absolutely brilliant 🙌🏻
