As soon as I found out I was going to Dubai, one of the things I knew I wanted to do was to meet Stacey from Expat Make-up Addict. She's a super blogger and I think she's a very strong and inspiring woman and we have similar makeup tastes! 

I thought I'd show you today what I wore the day I met up with her.

When I'm on holiday I tend to dress a little more relaxed, but I always like to pack some fancier clothes in case we go out to somewhere nice. As I was meeting Stacey I wanted to dress up a little more (but not over the top) so I went for this ZARA outfit.

The trousers I fell completely in love with when I tried them on because they're completely different to anything I've ever had. They're very high waisted and cropped and I think the cut is fun because they're quite formal but the bright coral-red makes them bright and exciting. 

I paired it with a white cropped top also from ZARA with batwings. I have never had anything like this either and it pairs really well with the high-waisted trousers. I want to buy some more cropped tops to go with these trousers. I want to be a little more adventurous and show a little bit of skin!

Dubai is a vibrant city and I loved walking around the Gold and Spice Souk. My very high cream-coloured heels might not seem like the best choice but they're actually very comfortable to wear and I walked all over the old city centre and the Dubai Trade Centre. 

I met Stacey at her workplace and we had a luxurious lunch at Roberto's with views of Burj Khalifa. Little did I know that later that day it would be high up in the tallest building in the world where my boyfriend would propose! 

It was lovely to meet Stacey and talk about all things related to life in Dubai and in Spain. We also snuck in some makeup talk but I didn't want to bore my boyfriend. I really suggest you head on over to take a look at her blog and follow her, she reviews all sorts of amazing makeup and she's very honest like I am.
