My fabulous Friday: Roshni Shewakramani

The weekends are family time in our house so it’s all about spending time with the kids. We brunch, swim and enjoy staycations. If possible I also like to see friends over a fun dinner at someplace nice like La Cantina or Coya.

I grew up in Dubai and I couldn’t think of anywhere better to live. It’s my home and I love it and am proud of it. It’s a city that just encourages you to hang out and make friends – be that over barbecues, spending time at the beach or at the park with friends.

Eating out is a big thing for me. We have so many amazing restaurants here, and I like to try as many as possible. My current favourites are Mythos, a Greek place in JLT, and Fume at Pier 7. Plus Freedom Pizza does the best takeaway – I’m addicted!

When it comes to getting dressed up for the weekend, I’m a monochrome-and-accessories girl. I think my style is clean and crisp, but with a dose of accessories. I’ve started collecting watches. They’re gorgeous.

Keeping in shape is important to me – and just because it’s the weekend that doesn’t stop. I’m addicted to my spinning classes, but yoga is also an integral part of my life. I feel stretching and breathing exercises are essential to one’s well-being.
