Summer's Fashionable Traveling

Passport expiation date?...check.
Get Visa from the embassy?... check.
A colorful luggage to easily notice it on the luggage arrival runway? ...check.
Stylish & comfortable clothes? ...check.
Agenda of Where to go and What to do? ...mmm... I'll check with the hotel concierge.. right?

WRONG! If you're planning to go to cities with fashion influence such as London, Milan, Paris, Dubai, or New York this summer, then you have to do your homework first. Very few people, ever think of putting an effort to do some research on the cities they are planning to go to. Take it from me, as much as I hate to admit it, it's not always about shopping, shopping, and shopping. There are beautiful and stylish things to see and do in those cities.

So, if you're traveling to these places, or any other place, let me know and I'll give you some trendy travel tips. Feel free to post a comment or e-mail me with your destination details.

Speaking of traveling, I read in the news that Space tourism pioneer Virgin Galactic has appointed Dubai-based travel agency Sharaf Travel as its "Accredited Space Office" for the Middle East region.The agency will offer commercial space flights to consumers in the Middle East at a cost of US $200,000 per ticket. Anyone interested?

What do you say Confashion? Let's book a couple of tickets and head out to space... I bet that will be something to write about... There will be a day when travel to space will cost what it costs to fly on an airplane today... mark my words... By the way... you can fly even further than space for a minimal cost... it's a destination called Heaven... you kind find travel details in the Quran :)

Has any one been to Sri Lanka? I was quite impressed... It is an amazingly beautiful country... I would also like to suggest Cape Town in South Africa but you'll need to wait until the end of the year as it is Winter there now. Where is the most amazing place everyone else has been?

Exactly right! Those old trainers are soooooo comfy, but you can't go to Bond Street, Champs Elysees or Rodeo Drive with them on! Don't forget to pack the cool stuff too.
What about northwest Italy (Piedmont)? We're going walking so will have the boots, but what about what to wear in Milan in July?

casual casual casual..you could go to a fancy restaurant or late night shows in jeans, and no one would give you a second look. And I'm assuming you're going to Australia during the summer am I right? So pack heavier clothing since it is going to be winterish. pack 2 Juicy track suits, walking trainers, lots of cotton shirts & tanks to layer (Layers are the best strategy if the weather is so and so), a wind-breaker, skinny & straight jeans, chic ballerina flats, a pashmina, knitted cardigan in a neytral color, and a nice shopping bag (a clutch would also be useful for night outs). bon voyage ;)

aaah milan, one of themost fashionable cities in italy. Loves it!

I read somewhere that Milan’s average temperature actually stays about the same throughout the year. Average summer high temperatures are around 25 & 30 degrees Celsius and are considered comfortable since we are used to the dry and hot weather over here. Sometimes it does get a little bit humid so make sureto take your anti-frizz products :) hope that's useful :)

I've never been to South Africa not Sri Lanka. I'd like to go there sometime. Maybe after retirement? :P
All the fashionable cities I have been too were my fave :)

Oh and I forgot to answer your question on what to wear in Milan! Whatever you do, under no circumstances should you wear a track suit. Juicy or not Juicy. You need to dress up (in a casual way) in Milan. People there are trendy and they tend to give you the "look-over" once you step inside a restaurant or a store. So take your skinny jeans, flat shoes, summery dresses, shahtoosh or pashmina, a chic day bag. High-heels for night outs. And a couple of plain fitted shirts or tops.

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
