Team EW on home decor inspo, Ramadan deals, a hot new restaurant opening, and where to celebrate July Fourth in Dubai this weekend.
Thursday
Browsing The Bowery Company
Summer weekends are for home improvements, and we’ve been taking all our inspiration from The Bowery Company‘s Instagram account of late. From Manhattan-inspired industrial chic to Scandi-style clean lines, this online store seems to know what we’re looking for before we do. The latest arrival? These neon light installations by Lilly Ingenhoven. You can even order a bespoke piece with the word/message of your choice. We love.

Pampering at the Dollhouse
It’s no secret that we Dubai dwellers love a bit of a pampering, and the quieter months are the best time to do it. The cool confines of the salon are a great place to escape the heat, the mass exodus from the city means you won’t have to wait for an appointment, and you can take advantage of some mighty generous Ramadan discounts.
The Dollhouse salon is offering a range of special packages; including henna (full hands), a full head colour with blow dry, eyelash extensions, paraffin nail art manicure, paraffin pedicure, full body waxing and a one hour facial for Dhs2,000. A paraffin mani/pedi, henna half arms, a blow dry and a 30 minute back and shoulder massage costs Dhs500. In addition, the salon is offering 25 per cent off clip in hair extensions and 20 per cent off hair botox, Keratin treatments and facials.

Saturday
Celebrating July Fourth USA style
Saturday is Fourth of July folks, and you know what that means; prepare for your Instagram to be spammed with celebs draping themselves in the Star Spangled Banner and hashtagging #Murica. Meanwhile, in Dubai, we’ll be popping to Perry & Blackwelder at the Madinat, which is hosting a BBQ night to mark Independence Day. Diners get a burger, hot dog, potato salad and a soft drink for Dhs120. We’ll Instagram that, instead.

Diary date
Crab Tavern opening
Full disclosure: we have more reason than most to be excited about the arrival of this London restaurant in Dubai. Crab Tavern’s UAE home will be inside the Media One Hotel, which just so happens to be home to Emirates Woman HQ too. So from next week we’re going to be in VERY close proximity to dishes like buttermilk fried chicken and waffles, which can only be a good thing.
