It’s becoming quite clear that winter is in its last breath. I have been carrying jackets but barely wearing them and the chilly evening breeze is losing its power. This means it is time to welcome the spring and summer 2023 (SS2023) fashion trends with open arms in this part of the world. We bring a selection of the trendiest colours, cuts and styles to embrace in the upcoming months.

Our beauty spread has must-try products and a pampering session at Talise Spa at Jumeirah Gulf of Bahrain Resort & Spa. We also bring a full report on Dessange’s new LPG treatment. The year is flying by – it’s time to press relax!

We had the opportunity to chat with Chef Tala Bashmi from Fusions by Tala about how Bahraini cuisine influences her creations and how she transforms traditional dishes into high-end dining experiences. Homes trends are a thing – even though they are not as popular and frequent as in fashion – we bring some of the latest ideas in interior design.

In our travel section, we had a wonderful staycation at Marassi Al Bahrain’s newest property, Address Beach Resort Bahrain. A perfect destination on the island to de-stress and enjoy great food with plenty of activities for the little ones. Türkiye suffered enormously with the recent natural disasters that hit the country, but we travelled to Istanbul to support this beloved country and stayed at the marvellous Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus. This month we celebrate International Women’s Day and Mother’s Day, and there's nothing better than spending time with the fantastic women in our lives in an afternoon tea. The Ritz Gourmet Lounge at The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain has a great spread and mouth-watering pastries – we went there to check them out. And we end our magazine with a comprehensive driving report on BMW’s latest saloon edition, the 530i.

Happy March!
