Real 18K Gold finger tips!

As I have to go to boring old school with boring old uniform I don't get to wear nail polish *sad face* so as I was in England for a few days I was so happy to wear some polish, especially as it's a new nail polish I was gifted through the mail last week!

Shoot with Uwe Koerner for Capital D Studio

As I have lived in Dubai more than half of my lifetime I have modelled here for years and yes Dubai photographers are amazing, don't get me wrong, but when you get the opportunity to work with an international photographer you can really tell just how amazing pictures can be! I was lucky enough to work with an AMAZING international photographer called

Snapped backstage with my Blackberry Porsche

Being a model is a job I ofcourse adore but there is more work that is put into it than most people think including a lot of time having to have hair and makeup done! I thought it would be fun to snap a few pics 'behind the scenes' of me just after I had my makeup done and still

Essa Walla x Nina Zandnia

Sorry all I have been mega busy atm, last week I was up in Abu Dhabi for two days as I was modelling for the opening of the Etihad Avenue Towers, which are amazing might I add! I did 2 fashion shows in one day so you can imagine how tired I was however it was so much fun and we did the fashion show with holograms, the first hologram fashion show in the UAE, if you have no idea what I am talking about then please do YouTube it as Burberry did an AMAZING one

Peak of Lace

Another beautiful playsuit in this outfit post, it is my new favourite playsuit in my wardrobe because of the very unusual design on the front, it looks as if I have unzipped the playsuit to reveal a lace bodice underneath however that's just how it is, I think that's what made me fall in love with it. In addition the colour is so great as basically any colour and can be paired

Walking Backwards Just for the Show

Desert posting again my lovelies! The desert is such a great place to shoot as it is basically a plant canvas, well a very sandy one, colours stand out so well against it! Here I am

Press: Talulah Social Networks

A few posts ago I did an outfit post wearing a beautiful top from the Australian brand, Talulah. Talulah has just been bought out here by a gorgeous Australian called Ivana with her company Austyle.

Danger can be found in all angles!

Out of all the pictures we took in the desert these were the first pics taken and they are by far my most favourite! Maybe it's because of the outfit or maybe it's because of the background, either or I am obsessed with them and so happy with how they came out! Anyway down to the actual outfit itself, if you follow my blog regularly, as I always say my style is a huge mix however I am still a London girl at heart so I love edgy 'London' looking things I would say, edgy

Brad styled me in a gorgeous Pink dress, cute polka dot bag and an amazing black beaded collar necklace! Yes I got the Brad treatment! The event itself went perfectly with the quirkyness of the brand having a hug ball pit filled with 17,000 balls I felt like a little kid again!

Grunge Army

My blog is a year now and it really is my baby so as it gets older I ofcourse want it to grow! Not only am I in the process of redesigning it I also want to 'redesign' how I post, to do that I am making my outfit posts into more than just outfits I am making the pictures more 'photoshoot' like. Me along with my two close friends have decided to find urban unusal locations in Dubai and create mini photoshoots, Antonio is an amazing photographer and model here in Dubai along with being a skateboarder, surfer, basketball player etc the list goes on (he is in the pics above) make sure you check out his tumblr http://apmucdxb.tumblr.com/, then there's the famous Andrea Brocca my bestest friend, the youngest Haute Couture designer in the world and he is amazing (you will see him in the next posts).
