Zena Presley
We fell in love instantly with the first collection by the young Syrian designer based in Dubai who has collaborated with artists from around the world. Available in Harvey Nichols in June, the 15-piece capsule womenswear collection features bold, bright prints with minimalist shapes, in shirts, dresses, skirts, jackets and tops. The Rachel top is Dh700, while the Olivia (orange) and Shanequa (blue) skirts are Dh900.

Les Delices de Nina
Looking for a sweet summer fragrance? Check out the new limited-edition scent from the ongoing Nina Ricci apple-shaped range, inspired by candy, Alice in Wonderland and Hansel and Gretel. With a heart of strawberry, there is also fresh lemon and tangerine, and base notes of praline and white musk. The French house also got candy maker Papabubble (available in Mercato) to create limited edition fizzy strawberry Nina candies. It’s Dh345 for 75ml.

Rihanna’s mules
The singer pretty much always gets it right (come on, even the yellow dress looked amazing, you have to admit) and this pair of mules by Stuart Weizman is an example we can all follow. They’re called Myslide; find them at the Level Shoe District concession. And since they’re open-heeled, you might want to sleep in a pair of Alessandro moisturising gel socks the night before. They contain jojoba and avocado oils and last up to 40 applications. Dh160 at Enigma Beauty Group on JBR Walk. Call 04-3995668.
