Summer is in full swing, so my basket is full of pieces I know I’ll wear on repeat. Alemais can do no wrong when it comes to summer dressing and this printed mini is exactly the kind of easy statement piece I love. I’m always drawn to a great white top and Meshki’s sculptural halter feels perfect for summer evenings. Fringe is everywhere right now, so Sarah’s Bag is firmly on my wish list, while Longchamp’s butter-yellow bag is both practical enough to fit everything and right on trend for the season. I love a classic black trouser, but the zig-zag trim makes this Sézane pair feel far more special. Finally, I can never resist a thong sandal, especially in red for an easy pop of colour.

My summer basket is all about playful statement pieces and effortless staples that instantly refine any look. I’ve been obsessed with Melissa Phair’s buttercream set for its fluid silhouette and soft, sun-ready tone, while Cara Cara’s printed dress brings the perfect mix of vibrancy and ease with its movement and bold pattern. Accessories are just as important to me, especially Zimmermann’s straw bag, which feels both practical and polished for every summer plan. And for a finishing touch, Giuseppe Zanotti’s colourful beaded heels add an elegant yet playful statement. I also love jewellery that makes a subtle impact, like Dinosaur Designs’ blue bangle, which is perfect for adding a pop of colour.

I love investing in pieces I can wear year-round and Dubai’s warmer climate certainly makes that easier, especially when it comes to footwear and handbags. The Valentino Rockstud shoes are a perfect example: versatile enough for dinner, travel, work lunches and evenings out, while the bold blue hue adds an instant pop of colour to any outfit. Lately, I’ve also been gravitating towards printed skirts and dresses, and Nensi Avetisian’s printed midi skirt is the ultimate statement piece, best styled with a simple T-shirt. Another favourite is More To Come's black Talitha Ruffle Capri, finished with subtle frill detailing at the hem – it proves you can never have too many pairs of tailored black trousers

My style is all about effortless basics with a stylish twist. I love investing in versatile, airy pieces that I can mix and match all season long, like H&M's chic balloon drawstring trousers and the Amina Muaddi Leather sandals, which you can wear with any kind of outfit. To elevate even the simplest look, I rely on accessories that make a statement – whether it's a pair of colourful earrings from Dries Van Noten or layered beaded necklaces from Aubade. They're the finishing touches that instantly transform every look with minimal effort.

My basket is currently filled with easy, elevated pieces with standout accessories. I'm especially drawn to backless dresses, particularly those with beautiful detailing at the back and Meshki has designed the ultimate Euro summer iteration. Yellow is my favourite colour to wear, so this satin cami top in a bright shade paired with relaxed white trousers is an easy daytime look. Accessories are just as important – this versatile Cult Gaia clutch that works with everything is a must. Satin trousers are another staple on my wish list this season, they make for an effortlessly chic city look. Also, these black Amina Muaddi heels with the statement yellow flower are the perfect finishing touch to any summer outfit.

This summer, I am buying standout pieces that feel timeless yet full of personality. I'm drawn to accessories that make a statement, from sculptural hummingbird earrings to Cartier's '90s-inspired titanium sunglasses, which instantly add a glamorous touch to any look. A great pair of shoes, like the jelly Jimmy Choo mules, brings a modern edge to relaxed tailoring or a silk dress, while a bold printed skirt creates effortless impact with nothing more than a simple white tank. I'm also loving the elevated activewear from Emirati brand SCULP – its designs are unique and versatile enough to wear everywhere. For beach days, an asymmetric swimsuit layered under an oversized linen shirt with gold jewellery is my go-to formula for effortless summer style.

My basket is a very colourful mix. I’m drawn to brands like Stolen Stores, Alaïa, Rowen Rose, Simon Miller, AFLALO and Anni Lu, each bringing something different to my wardrobe. The hot-pink Stolen Stores maxi dress is perfect for black-tie dinners or beach weddings, while Alaïa’s sculptural cube wedges instantly elevate any look. I love Rowen Rose’s playful polka dots, Simon Miller’s fringe for evenings out, AFLALO’s silk tailoring for understated everyday dressing and Anni Lu’s jewellery for adding a relaxed holiday feel to any look – the fish earrings are very summer-season.
