If you fancy a girlie getaway with substance, rather than just sit on a veranda for a bit of idle chat, escape to Desert Palm for some pampering, polo and personal styling and actually walk away from a minibreak having achieved more than just catching up on the gossip.
Desert Palm by Per AQUUM has introduced a personal-styling weekend with Image Factor stylist Marissa Woods and her team.
Update your wardrobe and learn the styles and cuts which suit your body type in a three-hour styling session with Woods, before soothing those tired feet with a 60-minute reflexology session in Lime Spa. Once you have the knowhow, it's time to get dressed up for afternoon tea while watching the polo at the exclusive Dubai retreat.
Woods, who founded Image Factor in London in 2000, uses her experience as personal stylist for exclusive retailer Selfridges & Co and House of Fraser UK, to make sure the ladies are looking fabulous. "We look at shape, size, cut and colour besides finding the perfect pair of jeans for you. It's fun and informative but most importantly it has results."
"I ask ladies to bring something they feel their best in and something else which they love but for some reason never feel quite right in. We deconstruct why certain things work and come up with look books and style vision boards."
