You guys!! Tonight I got to meet my idol @ToryBurch 😭 for the very first time, alongside legendary fashion photographer @ArthurElgort for the launch of his new book “I Love...” 💘!! To say I turned into a total fangirl would be a serious understatement but I’m too darn jet lagged still to keep it together 😂!! Biggest thank you ever to my #ToryBurch family for having me and for the honour of partnering with you this past year. 10 years of living in NYC and STILL the magic persists 🗽✨!! Keep believing xx MM

AMINA MUADDI psychedelic slingback 🍭✨🤗💘. Not sure Santa will be able to find these in time for the holidays so I’m drawing them instead 😝. Which illustration do you prefer, my loves? Version 1 or 2? xx MM @aminamuaddi @aminamuaddiofficial

Moving through the otherworldly majestic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque 🤩🕌✨!! No matter how many times I’ve visited, it still takes my breath away. Now that I’m finally back in my studio, this is my last photo post from the UAE. It’s time to get all this inspiration down in paint and paper. Can’t thank you enough for joining me in this once in a lifetime adventure with my dear @RitzCarlton family. Time to turn this he(art) into art 👏🏼❤️ xx MM #RCMemories #RCPartner

The view of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque from my balcony is so beautiful, my heart aches 🤩🕌!! Hearing the call to prayer at 5 am softly through the curtains and glass doors is the most dreamy, surreal, experience. I struggled on what time of day best captured the view so here’s the progression from sunrise to sunset!! Which is your favorite? 1, 2, or 3?! xx MM @RitzCarlton #RCMemories #RCPartner

The prettiest drawing nook 🌿🕌 with the most exquisite view of the Grand Mosque is tucked away in the gardens of @RitzCarlton @RitzCarltonAbuDhabi!! It might have taken both @jonlip.jpg and @damonchamberlain to lift me up on that ledge, but it was worth every bit of muscle 😂. Stay tuned to see the illustration I created inspired by this view coming up next 👏🏼 xx MM #RCMemories #RCPartner

By far my most favourite museum in the world is the Louvre Abu Dhabi 🤩🌊!! Part of our post F1 cool down with @RitzCarlton involved visiting the Louvre yesterday to be awe-inspired by its otherworldly gorgeousness. My heart is so darn full. Swipe 👈🏼 for a glimpse of the interior 😭🙏🏼. Beyond grateful for everything I just witnessed and experienced and can’t wait to translate all this eye candy into illustrations this week!! Stay tuned for more, my loves ✍🏼 xx MM #RCMemories #RCPartner

My loves, I’m SO beyond excited to share with you the final painting I created during yesterday’s F1 race in Abu Dhabi with @RitzCarlton & @MercedesAMGF1 😭🏎🇦🇪👏🏼!! Inspired by the past two days of UNREAL access to the Paddock, my Gridwalk minutes before the start of the race (where I saw @LewisHamilton make his way out of the car and onto the track), and everything in between. There are not enough words to express my gratitude to my RC family for what was hands down one of the greatest experiences of my life 😭. Most notably I’d like to thank my darling @LauraKTroy who’s birthday is today(!!) for her unwavering passion and vision to bring this partnership to life. This was truly one of the most surreal pinch-me moments of my career!! Thank you all for joining me on this adventure and still more imagery and illustrations to come 😘❤️ xx MM #RCMemories #RCPartner

Hello from the YAS Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, my loves 🏎🇦🇪!! We are currently kicking off all the F1 festivities with @RitzCarlton & @MercedesAMGF1 for a once in a lifetime experience 😭. I’ve just done a garage tour and viewing gallery with the #MercedesAMG team and a hot lap in the official RC car!! Slide to see the video of me doing the 3 min lap at 240km/hr if you need a good laugh 😂👏🏼. We capped the evening off on the RC rented yacht in the marina and now I’m preparing to paint during the race in the Silver Arrows Lounge!! Stay tuned, my loves!!! xx MM #RCMemories #RCPartner

Lantern shopping with the Piqué to my Shakira (according to every spice salesman in the souk 🤣👏🏼). Funny, in all these years of coming to the Dubai Creek and Souks, this was my first time not going alone and it completely changed the experience for me. Not only did I have the gorgeous company of @ebradley_co @lauraktroy @jonlip.jpg @damonchamberlain but I also had @rami.almakt illuminating the tour with his knowledge of the local ingredients and cooking instruments. And the vendor owners no longer called me spice girl 🤣👱🏼‍♀️🌶🇦🇪. Even when I revisit a place from my past, it takes on new character, significance, meaning and memory with my @RitzCarlton family xx MM #RCMemories #RCPartner

Painting in the most ornate Majlis 🤩🎨🇦🇪✨. In Arabic it means place of gathering and it is a cornerstone in Emirati culture. How could I not be inspired by this place?! @RitzCarlton Dubai is beyond stunning!! Being back in Dubai with my RC family reminds me of all the reasons I started TravelWriteDraw as an illustration student years ago. I still feel in complete awe of its beauty, contrasts, from desert to modernity, the attention to details, the incredible blend of cultures from all over the world!! Swipe to see how the illustration turned out on the terrace and can’t wait to share more with you, my loves!! xx MM #RCMemories #RCPartner

My first 24hrs in Dubai with my @RitzCarlton family 🤩🌶🇦🇪✨!! My absolute favourite place to return to every trip is the Dubai Creek for a traditional abra ride across the water to the Spice & Gold Souks!! But this time we had @RitzCarltonDubai’s Executive Sous Chef, @Rami.Almakt, to illuminate the experience in a whole new way!! Also loved learning Arabic when we got back to property during the 5 PM Scenography and finishing the night watching this gorgeous belly dancer during our dinner under the Arabian stars. So excited to share what I’ve been painting so far!! Stay tuned for more, my loves xx MM #RCMemories #RCPartner

In Dubai, what is old might actually be new 😝👯‍♀️🇦🇪. Located along the iconic Dubai Creek is a relatively new (as in 2017) Heritage District which celebrates Dubai Creek’s origins as the famous coastal pearl-diving port. Behind me is one of the most traditional architectures found throughout the Arabian Gulf: the Wind Tower. Though this is my 4th visit to Dubai, I’m constantly uncovering something I’ve not yet seen before when I visit. This city is ever growing and evolving!! I just checked into my room @RitzCarlton Dubai and I’m soooo excited to share more with you from one of my favorite cities on earth tomorrow during our film shoot day!! Stay tuned for more, my loves, and happy Weds xx MM #RCMemories #RCPartner

Good Morning from Dubai, my loves 🇦🇪!! I’m over the moon to be back in my sunshine city for part ✌🏼 of my partnership with my @RitzCarlton family & @MercedesAMGF1 for the final Formula 1 🏎 race this Sunday in Abu Dhabi!! I shared in my stories the other day that the genesis of TravelWriteDraw took place in Dubai years ago (so this is technically a homecoming for us all ❤️). It’s always so special to return but even more so with RC!! We will be filming in Dubai this week before heading to Abu Dhabi and I can’t wait to share everything in between. Stay tuned, my darlings 🤩🐪👯‍♀️✨ xx MM #RCMemories #RCPartner
