Dubai is known for its unrivaled status in opulence, grandeur, and style. There is no place like Dubai if you want to be dipped in luxury and they say no better hotel than the iconic Burj Al Arab if you want a taste of what pure indulgence feels like. Burj Al Arab has been known for taking luxury to another level with it's all-suite hotel that is also one of the most luxurious hotels in the world.

A fleet of Rolls Royce Phantoms greet you at the entrance, followed by a warm welcome by the hotel staff serving you finest dates - you will instantly feel like a royalty. Rooms The two-storeyed luxury expansive suite with its marble, gold and technicolor decor, warm rich furnishing and jaw-dropping views of the Arabian Gulf is the best part o
Must-Visit Vegan Places in New York | FOOD TO FASHION VEGAN NEW YORK GUIDE
New York is hands-down one of the best cities for vegans (why not the most? I am still undecided between LA, Berlin, and NYC). I've spent a considerable time in New York this year when I was in the city for a vegan TV show styling project. New Yorkers are spoilt for choice when it comes to vegan foods - you can pretty much find whatever cuisine you are craving. Additionally, the city offers a host of vegan activities (other than food) for everything from shopping to beauty to vegan festivals, pop-up shops, and vegan cooking demos. And of course, there is Whole Foods and Westerly Natural Market with a large selection of vegan food, home cleaning, and personal care products. Here is a list of 6 must-have vegan places in New York that can't leave New York without. It includes the best vegan restaurants and vegan fashion stores (there are vegan shopping options for guys too).
A healthy body and skin is a combination of factors and one recipe to get both require a commitment to a balanced and healthy diet throughout the year. Salads are a great way to get all the nutrition needed for a great skin. I am a big fan of lettuce because it is so easily available round-the-year, combines well with most ingredients, is easy on the wallet and is packed with nutrition. Good for detoxifying the system, this alternative lettuce salad is full of fresh and vibrant flavors. It looks lovely and works wonderfully as both a side salad or a starter. Coconut combines really well with lettuce and the great thing is that not only does coconut add great taste to the salad it has many health benefits too. Raw coconut is high in dietary fiber that encourages weight loss, it improves immunity, and is high in minerals. Coconut is also great for skin and hair. Nuts, especially pine nuts and almonds, are a great way to oomph up any salad and I always add nuts to mine. Next time y

Nina Bernice Handbag , Stella McCartney Shoes , Reiss Top & COS Pants, Reflections Organics Makeup Dressing sustainably yet stylishly is getting easier by the day. Not long back, finding cruelty-free and ethical handbags and shoes was a big challenge. I had to ransack the whole planet to find one good vegan brand, literally! Fortunately, the ethical fashion scene has never been better. Many upcoming brands are taking the ethical route and using innovative and new eco-friendly materials, which is making vegan lifestyle a lot more easier. The great thing is these vegan and sustainable products are just as high on quality or style as their counterparts, in some cases even better. With every purchase you make - you are casting a vote for the kind of world you want. So when you have the choice to buy products that you love and that are also ethical and cruelty-free, why wouldn't you? My latest discovery Nina Bernice handbag made from cork. I came across cork when w
Rebranded as Seva Table, formerly Life N One, this villa-style plant-based cafe nestled in a garden is a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of Dubai. A wellness center and yoga studio that doubles up as a vegan-friendly cafe and concept store is brainchild of Eda, the Turkish owner of the place. The moment you enter the place, you are transported to a zen-like atmosphere where you unplug with all the stress and worries and connect with your soul. The decor and positive quotes on the trees and walls definitely help. The place calls itself an urban retreat that connects body and soul - and I couldn't have put it in better words. Being a wellness center, the food at this cafe is naturally inclined towards the healthy side; think raw, vegan and gluten-free. However, it has a few options for those who like to indulge too {yes, that chocolate ice-cream sandwich in the picture is an absolute delight}! Everything on the menu is dairy-free and gluten-free.

Fashion is the second most polluting industry in the world and the amount of landfill the industry is generating (with the advent of fast fashion) is worrying. That is not it. Fashion industry is also notorious for exploitation of people - sweatshops, slavery and child labour is still a reality in many countries and irony is that some of the biggest names in the fashion industry employ these inhumane practices. Over time I learned about this problem plaguing the fashion industry and it made me re-evaluate my choices. When we buy something beautiful, we rarely think about what did it take for that item to reach our wardrobe and knowingly or unknowingly we become part of it. As consumers we have the power to create change through our daily choices. After all, any market is always governed by the equation of demand and supply. If the demand for ethical practices and small brands will pour in, the supply will follow. Supporting small ethical brands is the easiest way to start
Outfit designed by me, Handbag Stella McCartney, Sunglasses Rayban Hello there! What's happening? So it's been a while that I did this outfit shoot in the early hours in Colaba but I have been delaying posting the pictures of the full look, because I wanted to get the Mumbai City Guide , which features the best places of Mumbai, noticed. I hope you've read it already. So floral! While spring is probably the perfect season to wear floral this print has blurred the season boundary and works just as well in Autumn and Fall. The print color combination and style - everything in this outfit is designed by me with the help of Sourabh Kant Shrivastava (LFW designed). Hope you are having a fun weekend! xoxo Follow Style Destino on Instagram , Twitter , Facebook and Pinterest . Photography by Kapil Khilnani
