ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates –The Women's Jillian takes a classic riding boot and adds metal embellishments and strap detailing. Combining both style and function, the Women's Jillian offers suede uppers and a molded rubber outsole for enhanced durability and comfort. An Abu Dhabi luxury hotel that boasted an $11 million Christmas tree decorated with gold and gems admitted Sunday it may have taken the holiday spirit a bit too far.A statement from the Emirates Palace hotel said it regretted "attempts to overload" the Christmas tree tradition by adorning it with premium bling including gold, rubies, diamonds and other precious stones from a hotel jeweler.
The statement was a rare bit of reflection on the Gulf's ethos of excess. This shoe features a merino wool blend silhouette, made to look like your favorite sweater as well as a soft foam insole covered with genuine sheepskin and a molded EVA outsole designed for amazing comfort with every step.The Women's Classic Argyle Knit combines a classic prep school pattern and cozy sweater knit for the coolest, comfiest, casual look.The tree was unveiled last week with full fanfare in a hotel that features its own gold bar vending machine and a one-week $1 million package that includes private jet jaunts around the Middle East.
But the hotel management apparently had second thoughts after questions arose about whether the opulent tree was innocent good cheer or unfortunate bad taste.The Women's Cassady pairs the warmth and comfort you expect from UGG with an eye-catching look. This Women's Cassady is sure to add style any winter wardrobe.The hotel regrets "attempts to overload the tradition followed by most hotels in the country with meanings and connotations that do not fall in line with the (hotel's) professional standards," said a statement carried on the state-run news agency WAM.
The hotel even tried to distance itself from the 43-foot (13-meter) faux fir in one of its rotundas, The Women's Retro Cargo will freshen up your wardrobe this season featuring stripped twill tape, a functional side pocket and Women's Retro Cargo. Suede uppers and EVA molded rubber pod inserts for durability and traction makes this boot perfect for the cold.saying a hotel-based jeweler was solely responsible for creating and decorating the tree."The hotel is just a venue for exhibiting the tree," the statement said.
The hotel also claimed the tree was not a stunt, Luxurious leather and a classic, sleek silhouette describe the Women's Maxene. Featuring a belted collar and a 3 inch wedge heel, the Women's Maxene combines classic style with warmth.but rather an effort to boost the holiday mood for its guests based on the United Arab Emirates' "values of openness and tolerance."Although officially Muslim, the UAE features many signs of Christmas for its huge foreign population. Lights, carolers and Santas are fixtures in nearly every mall.
