My Little Black Dress..and white.. and pink










This year's S/S collection witnessed the return of the short dress especially for the evening. I just love wearing dresses. They're easy to wear, they're fun, they're comfortable (well almost), they’re a little bit 50's & 60's, and they are fabulous. I hope this trend will stay for winter 2008.
During a recent visit to Al-Othman at Mariam Complex, I saw an amazing variety of evening short dresses, which gives you the opportunity to sail through summer nights, draped in some of the most effortlessly designed yet stylish and comfortable short dresses. And the good news? They're on sale! 30% off. Here are my favourites listed as shown on the photos above:
  1. Vera Wang Balloon dress in blush pink. It was KD 898 and now they're selling it for KD 629. It's still expensive but I loved the embroidered detail on the pockets and the color is so romantic.
  2. Erdem White lace dress with black stones. Was KD 1,395, now KD 977. Overpriced but I liked the lacy frils and pleats.
  3. Erdem black lace & organza dress with white lining and black embroidery. Was KD 1,498, now KD 1,049. This looked gorgeous when I tried it on, but still overpriced.
  4. And last but not least, Giles white dress with a cute printed bow. Was KD 487 and now they're selling it for KD 341. Amazing and I would have bought it instantly if it was my size. Giles was a big hit this season and I loved all of his dresses. Too bad they didn't have some of the runway dresses which I fell in love with.

So are you in need of a short evening dress?

Not all the fashion show looks are always put in production.
If they did not have it no one else did

I never knew that! Thanks for the info... Another reason to spend at Alothman.

What if the customer was able to prove that an items at Alothman is actually more expensive than, let's say... Selfridges?

It could be ;)
I love the erdem dress, it can take you from summer to fall with a few accessories added.

i feel sorry for you --- so materialistic and shallow. How you use your time is to spend your daddy's money? Do you do anything of value or substance in this life, besides shopping? Donate your time to charities? Help youth? Or simply fill your closet with overpriced items to use a few times? Get a life. God does not like vanity.

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
