Merry Noelle

The masking lady knows Santa for 26 years now, and she's pretty sure Santa will make everyone happy this Christmas holiday. Oh, by the way, her name Noelle is an old French word which means "Christmas".

So, Noelle Chantal would like to wish you all the Merriest of Christmas!

Hello Mademoiselle

Been playing this Hotel Costes' song for the millionth time. Hotel Costes is a famous hotel in Paris that
released its own compilation lounge music CD's. Fave part at 0:26. Now, excuse me while I play it again
and see my resemblance to this semi-cartoon guy minus the bow and browns. See my funny drawing.



And I really like how my nude color ensemble coincidentally blend into the surroundings of Dubai.

Fort Strip

Insisted the boyf to pull over and muse me at this Fort Strip building just before
the guard shooed us away. Been eyeing this architecture for weeks. Perfect
spot to debut my 5 Peso / 0.11 USD metal buckle top.

Introducing my go-to outfit.

Heaven on Earth

The Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi is the eighth largest mosque in the world and it is one of the most important architectural treasures in UAE. The design of the mosque is a fusion of Arab, Mughal and Moorish architecture. Made of white Italian marble, 24 carat gold-glass mosaic features, with semi-precious stones and mother of pearl decorative. The interior and exterior design are equally impressive.

I firmly believe I have experienced Heaven by this beauty.








This heavenly Grand Mosque holds the largest chandelier made of copper, gold and Swarovski crystals. The carpet laid out is also the world's largest hand-woven Persian carpet made by 1,200 weavers. And yes, if I'm not mistaken, the golds on top of the domes are pure gold! Unbelievably awesome, right?

By the way, I wore an all black cloth with matching veil / hijab on my head because women are only allowed to enter the sacred mosque wearing a traditional Arab costume. That's why.








And you might be wondering, here's what I wore beneath those Arabic clothing. Mom's necklace from
Egypt is just perfect. The colors and the design of this piece is as beautiful as the Sheik Zayed mosque.

ONE MORE THING.

Sea to See

Vianca and I took these photos some time ago.
These are our most favorite of all fovorites.
How I miss to see the sea...

Pull My Heart Away

I can't keep my eyes and ears off this video and song. Everything is very reminiscent of the 80's and
if I wasn't hypnotized before, I am now.



Plus it reminds me of my tour photos in Dubai desert minus Jack Peñate.

Burj Al Arab

This perfectly unusual seven-star hotel is dominating the Dubai skyline. This beauty stands over
one thousand feet tall and built to resemble a billowing sail. Plus its illuminated at night with
choreographed lighting too. Burj Al Arab is equals to most amazing thing in the planet!

No wonder this is one of the most photographed structures in the world. Tons ahead!
Your eyes might pop out, so beware!








The layers in my outfit is perfectly unusual too, right?
Wore thrifted pieces with Mikimoto pearls for this luxurious venue, perfect!










Some Arabic lunch date with mom and my sister at the hotel's Al Iwan restaurant. The decor is bold,
gold and grand -simply amazing. Playful traditional experience of tasteful Arabic cuisine!











Impressive place. Unforgettable experience. I'm still in awe.
Definitely one of the happiest day of my life.
