4 February 2015 www.womanthismonth.com I’m really happy to introduce myself as I’ve joined Red House Marketing, Woman This Month’s parent company, as we head into February, the month of romance. We’ve gone all out to bring you lots of ideas for lovers from the best restaurants for that special dinner for two to super-romantic travel destinations and indulgent beauty treatments to make sure you’re looking your best on the big day. We’re now a few weeks into 2015 and, I’m sad to say, the resolutions have already gone out the window. If you’re in the same boat, make sure you check out our fashion and beauty features for some inspiration to kick-start the New Year overhaul. Our interviewees this month are a group of women who certainly don’t lack inspiration from students Fatema and Fatema, on page 34, who are seeing a theoretical college project come to life, to Zain Al Khalifa, on page 35, who has set up localppl.com to give tourists the chance to see Bahrain through locals’ eyes. And here at Woman This Month we’ve also been inspired to make some changes, the wonderful Fernanda Langhammer, who’s been bringing you the latest in fashion and beauty for the last two years, will be taking over the editor’s chair from next month so you can look forward to lots more cutting-edge news and features in the future. Exciting times ahead!

Of course they don’t have to be of the designer variety, the high street has a huge selection to suit every face shape and pocket. But, to my mind, you really can’t beat good quality shoes and shades. These are my current objects of lust! RayBan Ralph Lauren Chanel
