Olivia Palermo in Emirates Woman magazine shoot 
I'm lucky enough to be jetting off to Dubai next week for a relaxing break with my mum. Whilst I'd love to look as effortless as Olivia Palermo above, in a shoot for Emirates Woman magazine, there are some golden rules for dressing, and therefore packing, to go to the United Arab Emirates.

As it's my first time to the U.A.E I've been researching the dress code, reading the posts of Dubai and Abu Dubai's top bloggers, like Saba Atage, below left, a Dubai based model come blogger, with over 48K Instagram followers; looked at outfits of Deena Aljuhani Abdulaziz, below right, (former Editor in chief of Vogue Arabia) on Pinterest, and read other stylish posts from Dubai, like the one below from OhhCouture!

Refreshingly modesty is the golden style rule here. Shoulders and knees should be covered, sheer and swimwear is tolerated poolside only, in communal areas of hotels and public places like the mall, the stricter dress code is compulsory. If visiting places of worship, like the spectacular Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in the city of Abu Dhabi, there are further guidelines so make sure you're prepared.

Boden Cleo Kaftan now £56
Uniqlo Dry Stretch knee length shorts £19.90
Whistles Manzoni fringe tote bag now £71.20 at John Lewis
Massimo Dutti Horn sunglasses with metal detail £54.95
& Other Stories Leather and Suede Espadrilles £65
Iris & Ink Grosgrain trim Straw Panama Hat £60
J.Crew Underwired Striped bikini top £64
J.Crew Surf Hipster striped bikini bottoms £48
Todays outfit builder is something I would wear en route to the pool. I love the more tailored kaftan from Boden, with a bright lemon trim, and this Whistles fringe bag is versatile for both sightseeing and the beach. Stick to a mainly monochrome palette to ensure outfit building, my essential pre packing tip, is a breeze, so you don't end up cramming all those 'just in case' items into a second suitcase!
