My Fashion Diary
MY FASHION DIARY:
Tala Samman, the creator and editor of My Fash Diary, draws a clear distinction between fashion and style—she describes fashion as “what others say is in,” while style is “what you say is in.” Her blog serves as a personal style journal where she shares her favorite looks, current obsessions, and the latest trends from Dubai and beyond as she travels.
Based in Dubai, Tala was born in Chicago and has Syrian heritage. Through her blog, she offers a unique perspective on fashion and style in the Middle East. Despite its fashion-focused name, My Fash Diary also explores topics like beauty, food, and travel.
The blog has received international acclaim, earning nominations from Marie Claire, Twitter, UK Blog Awards, and Ahlan! Magazine’s Best in Dubai awards. In 2011, Tala was named one of Dubai’s Hot 100 and has been featured in prominent publications such as Grazia UK, Grazia Middle East, Harper’s Bazaar Arabia, and Marie Claire Middle East.
