Frills and Florals
For this year’s resort season, local designer/S*uce co-founder Zayan Ghandour has channelled the spirit of Peggy Guggenheim. Expect a primarily monochrome palette, sprinkled with hues of heather grey, periwinkle and tangerine. Sculptural silhouettes are mixed with feminine shapes, ruffles, shoulder cut-outs, lace and embroidered flowers in quintessential Zayan the Label style.

Treat your teeth
Celeb dentist Doctor Apa’s range of beauty products aims to push women to be as diligent with their tooth-care practices as they are with their cosmetic beauty rituals. Apa Beauty has just launched at Bloomingdale’s and Harvey Nichols Dubai – the lip scrub, lip shine and tooth glosses are handbag essentials, and the toothpastes, sonic toothbrushes and whitening kit are equally worthy investments.

A fine line
Target your wrinkles during the day and the night with La Prairie’s latest skincare product, the Line Interception Power Duo, which the brand claims gives visible results after just two weeks of use. The sleek, reflective bottle contains two different creams – one for use during the day and one for night, both formulated with the brand’s “Cellular Complex”, which helps to rejuvenate the skin.

Hoods up
Abu Dhabi-based boutique The Luxury Arcade has collaborated with Dubai-based fashion label House of Nomad on a pair of undeniably cosy hoodies. The black sweatshirts are both emblazoned with either “Nomad” or “Dubai” in pink block letters. This is the start of a series of collaborations between the two brands – each month, new designs will land on The Luxury Arcade’s new e-commerce store.

Seeing hearts
Eyewear from the newly launched Return to Tiffany Love collection is great for nailing the nerdy-chic look. Dual-tone black and Tiffany blue glasses are adorned with a trio of the brand’s iconic silver heart charms, which are subtly placed on the arms of the frames. If you’re blessed with good eyesight, opt for the tinted-lens versions to protect your eyes from the sun.
• Available at Tiffany & Co boutiques across the UAE; from Dh1,175

Contemporary culture
We have our share of Arabic-engraved jewellery in this region, but Cairo-based designer Jude Benhalim, now at O’de Rose in Dubai, doesn’t do typical. She has made her name with signature bullet icons, acrylic stones and sterling-silver- and gold-plated geometrical shapes emblazoned with Arabic verses. She recently collaborated with Unicef’s #endviolence campaign in Egypt.

Why your domicile status is important
Your UK residence status is assessed using the statutory residence test. While your residence status – ie where you live - is assessed every year, your domicile status is assessed over your lifetime.
Your domicile of origin generally comes from your parents and if your parents were not married, then it is decided by your father. Your domicile is generally the country your father considered his permanent home when you were born.
UK residents who have their permanent home ("domicile") outside the UK may not have to pay UK tax on foreign income. For example, they do not pay tax on foreign income or gains if they are less than £2,000 in the tax year and do not transfer that gain to a UK bank account.
A UK-domiciled person, however, is liable for UK tax on their worldwide income and gains when they are resident in the UK.
