Happy Friday guys!
As you know last September I had the incredible opportunity to visit Dubai with Nudwear! I was one of the lucky winners of the giveaway Nudwear offered to win a trip to Dubai and I won! Yes, you read it right?! What an amazing opportunity, huh?! I’m usually not the type of person that wins giveaways, I haven’t been that lucky but I guess the wait was extremely worth it because I won an unbelievable price!! ?
During the trip I had the opportunity to meet Astrid, the CEO and founder of the brand, an incredible woman I will forever be grateful with! What an amazing trip she put together! Everyday was so much and I can’t wait to go back to Dubai soon. We were there for three days and we tried to make the most out of it!
We stayed at Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Dubai! A beautiful hotel located in Pearl Jumeira. The location was beautiful and our stay there was a dream. They took care of us in the sweetest way, if you are planning on visiting Dubai this is the place to stay at! It counts with amazing restaurants, gorgeous pool and beach areas, the rooms are so spacious and confortable (The bathrooms are goals!!!), the decoration is to die for and the location is pretty convenient. We were able to move around the city in taxi without any problems.

This little slip silk dress is my absolute favorite item from Nudwear! They have the best silicone backless brass which I’ve used for more than a year, but their slip silk dresses are to die for and they are so versatile! Here you can see how I styled it duringPanama Fashion Week 2017!

And of course I had to bring my favorite Nudwear lace robe of all time!

During the only day I was able to enjoy the pool I wore this unique Nudwear bikini with a limited edition print by artist Debrah Hampton!
This kimono lace robe is such a timeless design. I love taking it with me when I’m on vacation because I adore how it looks paired with all my swimsuits, plus it makes me feel dresses up while wearing a bikini or one-piece bathing suit. It’s definitely a piece with endless options, the lace is so classic, rich in details and oh so soft! I’ve also worn it with jeans and a silk tank top and it’s look amazing!

Can we talk about the decoration of Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Dubai?! The installations are just a dream. Every single corner made me fall in love with it! It was so modern, chic, cozy with the perfect touch of Scandinavian luxe!

Every single day during our stay was full of plans and things to do! The first day Astrid took us on a Safari with Platinum Heritage! I can’t even find words to describe how amazing it was. They drove us around The Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, filled us with a ton of information about the area and thought us how to put on a Shayla which is a long, rectangular scarf popular in the Gulf region. It is wrapped around the head and tucked or pinned in place at the shoulders.

I was so happy Mauricio was able to come with me. He doesn’t get much time off of work but he was able to make it!

Somewhere in the middle of the Empty Quarter desert in Dubai.

After the safari, we headed to Al Maha Resort & Spa at the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve for breakfast. This place stole my heart, the food was amazing, the decoration showcases the heritage and architecture of the Bedouins and the view to the desert was a dream!

During our second day in Dubai we had the afternoon free, so we decided to find a place to see the sunset. We took a taxi that took us around the city to some of the most emblematic places and then dropped us at Atlantis The Palm where we walked around and from the pier in front of the hotel we watched the sunset. Totally recommend this place for that plan, it was so fun, relaxing and perfect to take photos!

For dinner we headed to the Dubai Mall and then took a little boat ride around the water canal in front of the Burj Khalifa. The tallest building in the world!

That area completely reminded me of Las Vegas. The water fountains and the restaurants around the water canal are beautiful!

On our last day we took a taxi to Abu Dhabi and visited the Zheikh Zayed Gran Mosque! What an experience! This place has been on my bucket list for the longest time and I can’t believe it’s finally checked off! Can we talk about how stunning it is?! It was extremely hot and I was melting, but it was SO worth it! These pictures don’t even do justice, I was so blown away by it’s beauty and opulence.

All the gold accents are gold!
The inside of the Grand Mosque is full of incredible details. The biggest Swarovski lamp and the largest Persian rug. The place is beyond words and the energy you can feel is indescribable!

At the entrance of the Zheikh Zayed Gran Mosque there’s a store where you can find souvenirs! Of course I wanted to buy all the antique genie lamps! How adorable are they?!
Our last night in Dubai was so especial, we enjoyed dinner at Maine Oyster Bar & Grill. This restaurant is a must-visit in Dubai! Best wine and sea food!
It was the perfect place to wrap up this incredible trip! I will forever be grateful with my Nudwear fam for this experience. Dubai is such a cool city with so much to offer and three days weren’t definitely enough! Mauricio and I can’t wait to go back! If you are planing to visit and have any questions please let me know! I’ll be happy to help you!
Thanks so much for stopping by and reading!
xx,
Caro.
