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 am sure that it would have been dealt wth to everyone's satisfaction

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.

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
