Based in Dubai, the fabulous Latifa Al Shamsi is a proud Emirati and glamorous blogger with an obsession for beautiful jewelry and accessories. She is not only effortlessly stylish, she is also well loved and admired for her elegant interpretation of trends and has one of the most exquisite wardrobes we’ve ever seen. We love that Latifa has an Hermès Birkin and Kelly in almost every color. Sophie’s Closet was lucky enough to catch up with the humble, sweet and talented lady herself. We chatted to the double bachelor degree graduate about her blog and delved inside her jewelry closet. Here’s her inspiring interview:

We know that you have an extensive collection of rare and pretty jewelry, can you name your all time favorite piece?
It has to be my vintage Chopard watch, it is so unique, feminine and classy which is what I look for in a style.

I like to mix it up and change from time to time really. I don’t like to stick to one piece of jewelry but I wear my Van Cleef & Arpels Al Hambra bracelet the most.

What do you look for when buying jewelry?
It has to be feminine and I always tend to get Rose Gold as a color.

I think it is obvious by now that I am a huge fan of Van Cleef & Arpels, and the reason behind it is that not only are their creations very unique but they also have a story behind every piece.

Your advice for an ultimate investment buy?

Most people would say a watch but I am not big on watches in fact I have never ever bought myself a watch yet. So I would say a bracelet, either a Cartier Love bracelet or Van Cleef & Arpels Al Hambra 5 clover bracelet.
