Oooo if you’re open to helping us shop please help me find my wedding dress (big ask)? I feel like I’ve tried on every dress in London and am about to give up! I’m not tied to it being white (blue? metallic?) I just want it to feel special enough that I don’t look like my own guest, but not a full meringue moment because there’s only going to be 15 people total. Vibe is casual Saturday afternoon picnic in the park and drinks at our local afterwards, my budget is £2k!

Sorry I should have added that I’m super short so midis tend to fit better, maxi not really my vibe and I’m worried it might feel too formal for the picnic!

Oh my god this is my dream task. First off - congratulations! Sounds like it's going to be a beautiful wedding. Okay so I've got a few thoughts first before we dive in: (1) You can get anything shortened - I'm also relatively short (well, actually I have long torso and short legs, but works out the same) so 90% of my bottoms are tailored. And what better time to invest in some good tailoring than your wedding! Assuming the dress isn't beaded / heavy on appliques, it's usually<£30 to have something shortened, and it's the same price to have something taken up half an inch vs taken up a foot, to make a maxi tea length. So I'm going to recommend a few things that are longer but know that I always mean you should have them shortened if you want. (2) Have you thought about a veil? I just think it's the easiest, most obvious way to say 'Wedding!' but still keep things cool. Personally I love a birdcage moment but I'm also partial to a short veil, particularly if you get something meaningful embroidered on it (this one is fully customizable and I love the look of the phrase running down the side).

Okay now that we've done that, some thoughts: Rixo makes cute, special but low key dresses. For a city wedding feel, I love the shorter ones (60s vibes! This CAPE) but there's loads of cute options (remember, you can have the longer ones taken up!). They're also v affordable which is always nice.

On the less classically bridal end of the spectrum, we have La Double J who go big on color and pattern. Again, I'd consider adding a veil (maybe in a fun color?!) to feel more bridal. I'm not sure your body shape but this top and skirt combo! With a pale blue veil?! Come on. They also do have more classic bridal pieces as well. There's also Zimmerman - flirty and flouncy, their dresses have pure romantic vibes. Something like this could definitely read bridal (+ a birdcage viel and a little shrug maybe?). If you're not put off by black (again, veil and accessories can help) then this is to die for and super re-wearable. Or embrace the chill vibes and go yellow! They have loads of great options.

I'm sure you already know this but just in case: Reformation does bridal. Like their normal dresses, the options skew towards people with model proportions but they've got some gorgeous ones - love this minimal take. I'd also recommend Wolf & Badger again. Do you want to be a hot and cool minimalist? A sea foam mermaid? (I'd personally have the slits closed a bit and the whole thing taken up but that's me). A ball of spring flowers? The Badge has you covered.

And then of course, a net a porter troll. Are you a disco queen? The most elegant woman alive? (Prob not best for the park, but def could work for a pub). A garden fairy? A jumpsuit (!) babe? A queen of less is more? (maybe with tulle gloves!) A column queen? (I'd style with blue shoes that match, I have this pair from Ferragamo that I love).

Again for lots of these I think accessories are key. You add a veil, a glove (consider short too!), a white shoe and all the sudden, bang it's clearly bridal. I hope some of that is helpful, and good luck!

(okay also you did not ask about this but just a thought: you can get really beautiful, affordable, old embroidered white table clothes fairly easily online and at antique shops. How gorgeous would your wedding picnic be on all white 'blankets'? Maybe with something waterproof underneath because, London).

Continuing with our 2018 throwbacks, let’s check out one of Marina’s vacation looks she rocked during her trip to Lefkada! Unfortunately, I’m not sure what month that was so please, if you have any idea, whisper...or scream!

The Greek-Welsh beauty enjoyed dinner by the Greek sunset (can’t wait for my trip this July!) in the most beautiful day dress from London-based label RIXO.

The Bella dress boasts an off-the-shoulder design with an elasticated neckline, self-tie waist and, not that you can ignore it, a vibrant floral print which seems to almost look like watercolor!

Are branded homes a better investment for property buyers?

When it comes to luxury real estate in Dubai, branded residences have become a prominent choice for discerning investors. But how do they stack up against non-branded luxury properties? Let's explore the branded residence market in Dubai, its performance, demand drivers, potential downsides, brand importance, financing options, exit strategies, and the risk of market saturation. For those considering buying property in Dubai, understanding these factors is crucial to making informed investment decisions.

How does the branded residence market in Dubai compare to other global luxury destinations?

Dubai's luxury real estate market has soared, placing it among the top global cities for branded residences, alongside London, New York, and Miami. London attracts the global elite with names like Mandarin Oriental and Four Seasons. New York boasts iconic brands such as Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis, drawing a diverse, affluent clientele. Miami appeals to Latin American and North American buyers with fashion-linked real estate brands like Fendi and Armani.

Dubai stands out with its vast international investor market and a variety of luxury brands from hotels, fashion houses, watchmakers, and car manufacturers. Six Senses, Rixos, Cavalli, Versace, Franck Muller, Bentley, and Lamborghini are just a few of the brands that have established a presence in the city. This variety highlights Dubai's commitment to unparalleled luxury and unique living experiences.

How do branded residences perform compared to non-branded luxury apartments?

Branded residences typically outperform non-branded luxury apartments in long-term value retention and rental yields. These properties are affiliated with luxury brands, ensuring high-quality construction, top-notch finishes, first-class amenities, and effective maintenance, which help maintain the investment's value over time. They command higher rental yields from tenants seeking exceptional lifestyles and amenities. Effective property management in Dubai is essential for preserving the value and appeal of these high-end investments.

For example, a one-bedroom unit at Armani Residences in Burj Khalifa rents for AED 250K annually, compared to a similar unit in Burj Vista that rents for AED 150K. Similarly, a two-bedroom unit at Atlantis, The Royal on Palm Jumeirah rents for around AED 600K per year, while a comparable non-branded unit in Oceana rents for AED 350K annually. The premium associated with the Armani and Atlantis brands translates into significantly higher rental yields and resale values.

What are the primary demand drivers for branded residences amongst investors?

Investors are drawn to branded residences for the prestige and assurance associated with luxury brands. These properties offer quality construction, prime locations, first-rate amenities, and higher rental yields. Branded residences also provide a sense of security, retaining their value even during uncertain times due to the enduring reputation of the associated brand.

Additionally, branded residences offer the convenience of using the property for short periods while generating rental income, providing a dual-purpose investment. The brand's prestige enhances tenant appeal, ensuring steady demand and higher rental yields.

While branded residences offer convenience and services, are there potential downsides for investors?

Despite their allure, branded residences come with potential downsides. Initial purchase costs are typically higher, and ongoing service charges for maintaining exceptional amenities are considerably higher than those for non-branded properties. There may also be restrictions on property use and renovations.

The brand association itself can be a risk; any negativity related to the brand could impact property values and demand. Branded residences appeal primarily to high-net-worth individuals, which can limit the pool of potential buyers and lead to slower resale times or difficulty finding tenants during economic downturns.

How important is the brand name itself to investors?

The brand name is crucial in the branded residence market. Brands with a strong global reach and renowned reputation for luxury and service excellence offer a compelling value proposition. Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, and Mandarin Oriental are highly sought after by investors for their exceptional experiences and global presence.

What financing options are available for branded residences?

Financing options for branded residences in Dubai include mortgage options from local banks, private financing, and equity release. Some developers may offer direct financing options, including post-handover payment plans. However, pre-completion finance may not be available for properties still under construction, with developers typically offering handover plans during the various phases of the build.

What are the exit strategies for investors in the branded residence market?

Investors in branded residences can leverage local real estate companies specialising in luxury brands to market their properties to both local and international buyers. Private sales within one's network or community, selling through the developer, or via the hotel pool are also viable options. However, challenges may arise due to economic climate, market demands, and brand reputation.

Is there a risk of market saturation in the future?

The growing number of branded residence off plan projects in Dubai raises concerns about market saturation. Intense competition compels each development to outshine its predecessors, offering more amenities and technology. However, renowned brands with strong reputations are likely to sustain their value. Government initiatives supporting international investors and prime locations will also play a crucial role in balancing supply and demand.

Branded residences in Dubai offer significant advantages in terms of value retention, rental performance, and prestige. However, potential investors should weigh these benefits against the higher costs, potential downsides, and market conditions to make informed investment decisions. Let Exclusive Links, an expert real estate agency in Dubai, help you with this decision.

Favourite brands for summer?

I have a lot of favourites!

These are the brands I’m wearing most and enjoying the most right now: I use their catalogues for inspiration and often I try to buy secondhand or recreate a piece myself, since a lot of these brands are expensive and difficult to find in the UK/Europe. I also don’t limit myself to these brands, I wear a lot of vintage and a lot of homemade or charity-shop pieces, but these are the brands I’ve been searching first when I want something new for the summer.

Potraga za savršenom vjenčanicom: U modi su mašne, a za nezaboravan dojam birajte plašt

Stručnjaci napominju da će u 2023. u modi biti modeli vjenčanica s 'puf' rukavima, mašnama, u žarkim bojama i s cvjetnim uzorkom te donose vrlo elegantna rješenja kombinacija za crkveni obred     Potraga za vjenčanicom nešto je o čemu sanja većina djevojaka i glavna je aktivnost prilikom pripreme vjenčanja. Stručnjaci naglašavaju da je prilikom odabira stajlinga ključno da mladenka obrati pozornost na udobnost i osjećaj koji joj pruža njezina vjenčanica. Cilj je postići autentičnost, radost i osjećaj da je to - to! Iako za to ne postoji univerzalna formula, već je ključ u slijeđenju vlastitog ukusa i intuicije, ipak postoje neke smjernice koje bi vam mogle pomoći da vaš odabir bude jednako u skladu s vama, koliko i u skladu s najnovijim trendovima za 2023. godinu.

'Puf' rukavi i dalje su u modi

'Bez brige, 'puf' rukavi i dalje su u modi! Dva su razloga - vrlo su ženstveni i obogaćuju svaku vjenčanicu širokog ovratnika, a pritom modernim modelima daju dozu tradicionalne ljepote', kaže dizajnerica Ally Voss. Dizajneri naglašavaju da će ove godine iz mode izlaziti minimalistički krojevi popularni u doba pandemije i manjih vjenčanja, a na velika vrata vraćaju nam se glamuroznije proslave, a time i glamuroznije vjenčanice. Ne postoji efikasniji način da svoju haljinu učinite elegantnijom od 'puf' rukava!

Kreirajte originalnu vjenčanicu prema svom ukusu

Stručnjaci savjetuju da se izbjegavate strogo voditi trendovima, već da vjenčanicu prilagodite svom ukusu koliko god je to moguće. To možete postići tako što ćete odabrati jednostavniji model, a onda ga ukrašavati slojevima čipke, svile ili raznim ornamentima, ovisno o željama! Na taj način ćete kreirati originalan model u kojem ćete se osjećati autentično. Svoju originalnu vjenčanicu možete podići i dodacima poput bolera, vela ili dodatnog pokrivala od organze, prozirnog materijala od svile.

Opcije za konzervativniji izgled u crkvi

'Mnogim mladenkama potrebno je više verzija vjenčanica kako bi prilikom obreda u crkvi imale konzervativniji izgled u skladu s tradicijom, a kasnije se jednostavno mogle presvući u nešto izazovnije i modernije', kaže dizajnerica Voss.     Da bi i vama to pošlo za rukom, stručnjaci donose praktično rješenje - odabir jakne ili sakoa! Naravno, birat ćete sako u nijansi vjenčanice, a vrlo je zahvalno ako ga date raditi kod vješte krojačice koja će mu dati originalan izgled u skladu s vašim željama.

Sve obogatite mašnama

Tretirane kao vrlo tradicionalan ukras koji valja izbjegavati u širokom luku, mašne su nešto što ćete vrlo rijetko vidjeti na modernim mladenkama. Sve do 2023. godine, kada se vraćaju u punom sjaju! 'Neki modeli vjenčanica dolaze s ušivenim mašnama, a neki jednostavniji krojevi imaju opciju da ih obogatite čipkastom ili svilenom mašnom. Riječ je o predmetu koji je vrlo romantičan, nježan i ženstven, a posebno lijepo pristaje kao ukras u kosi', naglašava Voss.

Pravokutni izrez je ženstven i osnažujući

Ravne, moderne i jednostavnije linije trenutno su prevladavajući trend. S njime u skladu ide dublji izrez, ali u pravokutnom obliku jasnih linija. Stručnjaci naglašavaju da ovaj stil djeluje ženstveno i osnažujuće. Izvrsno se takvi izrezi kombiniraju s pokrivalom od organze ili sakoom za crkveni obred, a s obzirom na to da je riječ o vjenčanicama formalnijeg izgleda, možete im dati živost 'puf' rukavima ili mašnama.

Ohrabrite se i odaberite žarku boju vjenčanice

U 2021. godini prevladavao je neuobičajeni trend crnih vjenčanica, a ubrzo je zamijenjen potpuno drugačijim stilom dopaminskih boja. Riječ je o upečatljivim bojama koje podižu raspoloženje, poput žute, crvene, narančaste, roza i sl., a uz njih je popularna bila maslinastozelena. Dizajneri naglašavaju da bi boja 2023. godine mogla biti fuksija, žarkoružičasta nijansa, te ističu da će in biti šareni uzorci i cvjetni ukrasi. Da, istina je to da bijelom vjenčanicom ne možete pogriješiti, ali u 2023. godini stvarno si možete pustiti mašti na volju i udati se u haljini u omiljenoj boji i s omiljenim ukrasima!

Plašt za nezaboravan dojam

Malo što ostavlja nezaboravan dojam kao plašt na vjenčanici. Ljeti će prelijepo pristajati uz razne modele, a zimi je savršen način da svoju vjenčanicu obogatite još jednim slojem. U skladu s trendovima, njegov ovratnik možete ukrasiti mašnama, a sam plašt možete podići ušivenim simbolima cvijeća ili komadićima čipke.
