Prada Goes eBay Style

Going once.. going twice.. Gone! Yup, it's the Prada online auction of designer prototypes originally created for the catwalk of the Fall/Winter 2007 season.

Through July 25, Prada will be auctioning 24 one-of-a-kind pieces. None of the items have appeared or been produced in the colors or materials for the masses (that's you and me darling). The 24 items will be posted in increments every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for a 7 day auction. There are currently nine items up for grabs. My fave? The Aquamarine gradient green & silver bag. And you know what's fun? Watching the bidding history. This bag started at 639 euros and now it has reached 1,600 euros.

Apparently, the proceeds of the sale will benefit a medical research facility in Italy. So you can actually convince yourself that you are doing a selfless good deed by bidding online.. Prada Style that is.

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
