From Mario Uboldi's latest jewellery range to a new online shopping site, here are the latest fashion trends this week.

Charming icons

The latest jewellery range from Mario Uboldi pays homage to the Middle East, with intricately designed icons like camels, evil eyes and Hamsa hands in 18K gold and diamonds. The collection, aptly titled, “Memories of the Orient”, introduces pieces that make ideal gifts for the upcoming festive season – not to mention, they’d be great to sport on UAE National Day.

The key to happy hair

S*uce in Dubai Mall was a full house last week when fashion and beauty blogger Negin Mirsalehi hosted the launch party for her honey-infused hair oil, Gisou. Hailing from a beekeeping family, Mirsalehi harvests honey from her family’s garden for the oil, which can be used as a hair mask or overnight moisturising treatment.

Time to sparkle

Luxury Swiss watch manufacturer Audemars Piguet has unveiled a new frosted gold version of its signature Royal Oak timepiece, in honour of the 40th anniversary of the women’s model. Designed in collaboration with Florentine jeweller Carolina Bucci, the watch glistens magnificently, crafted with a hammering technique that carves delicate indentations. These create a glorious sparkling effect, making it look like the watch has been sprinkled with diamond dust.

• Price on request; available in white or rose gold, in 33mm or 37mm sizes at Audemars Piguet boutiques in the UAE

Online shopping fix

Hanging out

Give your wardrobe some personality, or display these kitschy hangers on your wall as decor instead. Either way, these cat and dog characters, adorned in clothing, glasses and hats, are must-have buys from Typo’s new festive collection. Plus, they’re sturdy enough to carry the weight of coats and heavy knitwear – not that we wear that sort of outerwear in this climate, but hey, these are just too cute to pass up.

• Dh29 each; available at Typo stores in the UAE
