Le Petite Wears

Winter is officially over and summer has finally landed back in Doha! As the temperatures continue to rise, it is also the perfect time for a refreshing dip in an icy-cold pool, isn't? Time to take out those trendy sunnies, pull out your cutest dress, wear those slouchy trousers and seize the day. Don't forget to put on some sunscreen! Getting ready for summer is much easier than getting ready for winter. It's effortless, light and affordable too. But, staying cool and looking cool in this hot and humid AF weather is not easy!

Every year, I always look forward to celebrating the holy month of Ramadan in Doha. What excites me the most is the great number of stunning Ramadan Tent pop-ups – that is traditionally found in many Muslim countries! During this time, Doha’s dining scene is always all out to give you the best of your Ramadan experience.  A few weeks ago, I got the privilege to attend Ramadan Ghabga in Al Zomorod Ramadan Tent at St. Regis.

Aside from delicious foods, amazing temples, and palaces, Bangkok is also a shopaholic's paradise! I think you can find almost everything in Bangkok even the weirdest ones. It is an overwhelming city and ridiculously cheap! In our 6-day trip to Bangkok, we were able to visit some famous malls and night markets like: 1. Platinum Mall 2. MBK Mall 3. Asiatique 4. Ratchada Train Market 5. Pratunam Mall 6. Chatuchak Market Shopping in Bangkok should be in your itinerary especially if you're a first-timer. Just remember that Bangkok is a hot and humid city so always keep yourself hydrated. Bring an extra shirt with you, face tower and of course, wear comfortable shoes. I will be posting a separate blog post about the whole experience including our itinerary and budget. For now, here's my clothing haul from the trip. I'm now actually looking forward to going back and splurge till I drop! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5YbBRhhP6o&t=120s
