It's official! The much-anticipated opening of the Vogue Café in Dubai Mall's Level Shoe District will take place on May 15th. Fashion-savvy shoppers can indulge in breakfast, lunch or dinner at the stylish eatery in between spots of retail therapy.
We love the fact that Condé Nast Restaurants’ head chef, Gary Robinson, has peppered the menu with calorie-conscious dishes as well as wheat-free past options for those with food intolerance.
Other culinary highlights promise to be the house-cured salmon, served with fresh dill, shaved pickled on rye in addition to duck confit parmentier with pistachio, sweet potato and tonka beans.
- Vogue Café is situated within Level Shoe District, The Dubai Mall and is open from 10am – 10pm from Sunday to Wednesday and 10am – midnight from Thursday to Saturday.
- For reservations, call 045016810 or go to www.facebook.com/voguecafedubai.
Six pitfalls to avoid when trading company stocks
Following fashion
Investing is cyclical, buying last year's winners often means holding this year's losers.
Losing your balance
You end up with too much exposure to an individual company or sector that has taken your fancy.
Being over active
If you chop and change your portfolio too often, dealing charges will eat up your gains.
Running your losers
Investors hate admitting mistakes and hold onto bad stocks hoping they will come good.
Selling in a panic
If you sell up when the market drops, you have locked yourself out of the recovery.
Timing the market
Even the best investor in the world cannot consistently call market movements.
