Well when one enters the Dubai mall especially the New Fashion Avenue one is taken aback by the extreme radiance of opulence, the sweet scent of extravagance just like tasting a gourmet dessert with a cherry on the top. One is exposed to a plethora of high-end luxury brands that exhibit a lifestyle that is unimaginable or only possible in a utopian land. As they glide through the pathway it evokes a strong sensation of gliding through a garden of exquisite flowers. One is blinded by the dazzling lights, the shimmer of the exotic bags, sandals, ornaments, apparels and the exorbitant surrounding. They can definitely express the feeling like embodying Alice, from Alice in Wonderland with a candy stick in their hands. As one floats in the air they are exposed to an array of brands specifically the quintessential Gucci, Prada, Channel and so on. Just having a glance at their collections feels extremely enchanting and magical.

Moreover, there is a ceiling that runs in waves with fairy lights all round it creating yet another site not to miss. These phenomenal views add a modern and futuristic touch like we are living in 2040.

This visit to the mall was all the more special as my friend and me were on a mission to purchase a gift for her grandmother. We were searching for a present that was glamourous and a piece of class. Walking our way to the old fashion avenue we realized we were surrounded by a spectrum of brands ranging from Moonson to CK, Ted Baker to Maje, Guess to H&M. Well this made our endeavor to purchase a superb gift all the more tedious. As we strolled around shops having a glance at each shop and its collections, we believed we were going to utterly fail in purchasing the gift. However as we looked up and prayed to God for a direction, we witnessed an immensely captivating shop surrounded by bling all around. We jostled our way to the escalator in this colossal mall with frantic shoppers. As we headed we gauged a gigantic shop sparkling intensely that it could blind the eyes. As we walked towards it we saw the brand name embossed in exquisite silver and rectangular piping And Ah there it was ‘Swarovski’ the illustrious Austrian manufacturer of the delicate, glittering and sparkling crystals.

We firmly decided to purchase a delicate, intricate and classy present for my grandmother. As we entered the store we were mesmerized by the refulgence and twinkle in the store. We were extremely delighted to walk across the fairy like store that inhabited an eclectic mix of pendants, charms, earrings, rings and home décor items. We were instantly attracted to a set of pearl and Swarovski pendant and earrings for my friend’s grandmother. Finally, the Eureka moment. Oh my God it just looked divine like it was sent down from heaven. So, what was so impressive about this tiny set?

Well the pearl looked absolutely gorgeous and heavenly. It was smooth to touch and an ornament that would seamlessly glide on the neck of the wearer like the silky-smooth hair which are difficult to tie in a knot. Well you all must be wondering about the Swarovski crystal. Well that is just like the icing on the top and I seriously mean it. The pearl is topped up with a shimmery transparent colour crystal that radiates the colours of the rainbow when looked at from different angles. The pendant was in a beautiful and delicate silver chain intertwined intricately into one another. The earrings were an absolute complement to the pendant with the same design replicated to them. Well if I think deeper the pearl and the Swarovski crystal may perhaps symbolize the strong family bonds which can never lose connection.

All in all, Dubai mall is really a land of opulence and anybody can find their memento of care there. Enjoying and sharing beautiful memories and presents that would always remain with them for the rest of their life. Anybody will feel a sense of tranquility when they visit the Dubai mall. Indeed, it is a marvelous experience just like a scene from the movie ‘confessions of a shopaholic’.
