Before fleeing the nest [in Scotland] and moving to Dubai, I was a self-confessed shopaholic. Spending, some months, the majority of my income on new clothes, shoes and accessories.

However, since relocating it seems I’ve lost the shopping bug…

Ok, so that may not be entirely true but spending hours weaving through the crowds in shopping malls no longer seems as appealing as it once was.

Hooray for online shopping and in particular InstaShopping!

InstaShopping is hands down my new guilty pleasure. Got a few spare seconds, minutes or hours – you know where to find me scrolling through Instagram looking for new and exciting fashion boutiques.

With so many brands now offering worldwide shopping, it doesn’t matter where you are in the globe InstaShopping is always available… what a marvellous creation for us girls!

Living in Dubai, I seem to find myself continuously shopping in Zara… along with what sometimes feels like every other female. Yes their clothing is amazing and very affordable, but if you are looking for unique, one-off items of clothing - InstShopping is the way forward.

Not only is it amazingly affordable… it also pretty much guarantees you will never be turning up to an event with the same outfit as someone else… RESULT!
