This week, we got a hit of rain followed by the city’s usual sunny days. The weather isn’t perfect yet, but the weekend can be! From the latest drops to the latest menus, we’ve got the weekend sorted with our curated guide.
To Shop
Barbour UK
Unveiling their AW25 collection at their newly launched store at Dubai Hills Mall, you can find their classic waxed jackets, casualwear inspired by the British countryside, and lots and lots of tartan.
Parfum de Marly
Embodying the soul of French luxury, Parfum de Marly’s latest collection, Les Extraits, is a must-have. The citrus-ambery Carios tickles the nose with its spicy notes, whereas Valero is a fresh aquatic fragrance featuring lavender and sandalwood. And the final scent completing the collection is Eragon—warm and comforting with cinnamon and patchouli, making it a grounding fragrance for the upcoming colder months.
The Giving Movement
Dropping their new Autumn-Winter collection, you can explore new loungewear and casualwear pieces, including a new soft-denim drop.
To Dine
Seagrill Bistro | Fairmont the Palm
Available until October 18, Seagrill Bistro presents an exclusive menu featuring fresh ingredients straight from Canada. Although late, if you’re looking to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving, you can do so by taking your pick from an assortment of fresh seafood to their Bison Ribeye and tender meat dishes, cooling off with desserts paired with maple syrup.
ZETA Seventy Seven | The Golden Hour Brunch
Every Friday, ZETA Seventy Seven puts together a Golden Hour Brunch. Melt the week’s stress away with a stunning backdrop, platters to share, and drinks to sip along the night in a vibrant but serene atmosphere.
Black Sheep Coffee
Switch up your usual matcha fix this weekend with Black Sheep Coffee’s Halloween-inspired matcha. The Iced Ube Matcha Latte is creamy, nutty, and resembles a witch’s potion with its vibrant, purple-green hue.
To Experience
Katch International’s Katch Kafé
Have you ever seen an agency pop-up cafe? Well now you have! This weekend, PR agency Katch International has taken over the homegrown coffee house To The Moon & Back. Reimaged in Katch style, expect an exclusive menu of creatively crafted bites and a photobooth to cement your stay. And on Saturday, October 18, you can join in a caffeine-fuelled coffee rave.
New Covent Garden, Mall of the Emirates
Recently opened at the Mall of the Emirates, this one-of-a-kind cultural and entertainment hub focuses specifically on arts and culture. So expect plays, comedy shows, stunning cafes, and studios featuring dance, yoga, and pilates classes.
Rise Bakehouse | Halloween Workshops
Celebrating Halloween with pure sweet treat goodness, Rise Bakehouse has put together Halloween-themed workshops, available for the next two weekends. Playing around with frosting, the workshop teaches how to create intricate designs on sweet treats. And if you have kids, they can play around too, decorating their own mini cakes and blending imagination with buttercream.
Renaissance Business Bay Hotel | ‘Canvas of Courage’ Exhibition
In honour of Pinktober, Renaissance Business Bay Hotel is hosting the ‘Canvas of Courage’ Exhibition. Transforming the hotel’s lobby into a space of reflection, creativity, and solidarity, the exhibition presents artists, survivors, and supporters to raise awareness for breast cancer. Taking place till October 31, 30% of proceeds from each artwork sold will be donated to the Al Jalila Foundation, supporting medical research and treatment initiatives across the UAE.
To Watch
Roofman
Starring the ever-dreamy Channing Tatum, Roofman follows a criminal on the run, hiding in a toy store. Based on a true story, the crime comedy is a fun, comforting movie for a cosy movie night.
Love is Blind – Season 9
Unravelling its ninth season, this show doesn’t fail to spark heavy conversations and debates across the internet. Perfect to binge-watch over the weekend, although we would recommend going slow as the season is not done airing.
