Everything A Stylish, Jeddah-Based Model Is Loving
All products on this page have been selected by our editorial team, however we may make commission on some products.
1. The Shoe
A designer brand I'm loving right now is Miu Miu. I like how I can find pieces for every occasion there – whether it’s for a casual day out or a sophisticated evening event. Right now I have these slingback heels on my wish list.
2. The Couture Label
I love the work of Georges Hobeika. His collections are breath-taking and the craftsmanship is stunning. The pieces really stand out to me.
3. The Swimwear Brand
One under-the-radar brand everyone should know is Sevenseas Swimwear. It creates sustainable pieces that are basic but fit beautifully. One of my favourite pieces is this bikini set.
4. The Dress
A style I want to embrace more is midi dresses. They’re effortlessly chic and perfect for Saudi’s warm weather. I love this one from Zimmermann – elegant enough to be dressed up or down.
5. The Basic Tee
I cannot tell you how many cotton jersey t-shirts I own from Skims – at least one in every colour. It’s the perfect wardrobe staple; all you need is a good t-shirt and you’re good to go.
6. The Style Formula
When I don’t know what to wear, my go-to outfit is a combination of Levi’s baggy low-rise jeans, a black skin-tight t-shirt from Skims, and a Chanel slingback heel.
7. The Shopping Destination
I love browsing Ounass – it’s so convenient. I get all my Skims tops from there and it’s great for fresh style inspo.
8. The Vacation Fit
On holiday, my go-to look is a flowy dress paired with a good pair of Oran sandals from Hermès. I also love dresses from either Zimmermann or from local brands I find in whichever city I’m visiting.
9. The Jewellery
I love Selim Mouzannar jewellery. I have a few rings from the brand that are perfect for stacking.
10. The Fragrance
Soleil Blanc from Tom Ford has been my signature scent for years. It’s great for layering and the scent is so fresh.
11. The Beauty Essential
To cope with the temperatures in Saudi Arabia, my beauty essential is the Laura Mercier Setting Powder. It feels so light on my skin, doesn’t crease and adds a subtle airbrushed effect to my skin.
12. The Beauty Hack
I discovered a new beauty hack while I was on my way to dinner and had left my make-up pouch at home. I used an eyebrow pencil as a lip liner and it worked really nicely. Now I use the Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim Eyebrow Pencil, which I use to add freckles, line my lips, fill in my brows and when in need, use it as an eyeliner for a quick natural wing.
13. The Skincare
It’s not fancy but I swear by the Nivea cream in the blue tin. It's probably the only skincare I use – its ultra-moisturising and you can use it everywhere.
14. The App
I can’t live without Google Maps. I’d be lost without it.
15. The Book
I’ve been reading The 5am Club by Robin Sharma. I’m trying to wake up earlier and this book really showcases the benefits of being a morning person.
16. The Podcast
I’ve been loving Pretty Lonesome by Madeline Argy – she’s so comforting and I enjoy listening to it on my walks.
17. The Music
Lately I’ve been listening to reggaeton and country music – for country, I love Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs and for reggaeton, play me some Bad Bunny any day.
18. The New Follow
Alexandra St Mleux – I just love her style.
