Oasis Goes Miu Miu-ish and MJ-ish

Before we go any further here, I have to point out that I am not an Oasis fan, I was at some point but that was years and years ago, before the so-called quality of their clothes gone south. I don't know what went wrong with their designs. Probably one of their managers/board members gone all stingy and decided to take the dreaded cost-cutting strategy on us. Anyhow...


It seems that the British high street stable Oasis, has caught on to the trendy crystal and studs embellished designs from last Spring/Summer Miu Miu and Marc Jacobs collections. Oasis was "inspired" by the queen-of-hearts Miu Miu jewel-embellished pointy flats and "the-not-so-prompt" Marc Jacobs square toe studded flats. And to my surprise, the flats are actually comfortable when I tried them on. But that's only at the store. I'm not sure if they'll be comfortable enough to survive my rigorous shopping sprees. Take a look at the designer inspired Oasis shoes:





The shoes are sold for KD 14. Very very verrry affordable price for those who are looking for designer inspired pieces. And here are some pictures of the real deal... what do you think of that?

A lot of high street brands do exact imitations of the more expensive brands. its not always as good a quality as the latter.

They're mostly cheap versions. But sometimes they're comfy too (which is what matters - supposedly) hehe..

I agree.. and most of the times, the shoes are comfy when you try them on at the store, but once you buy them and give them a real brisk walk (or even chilling around, 20 minutes max and you've got a party of blisters going on :|

lala
Please do!! I'd LOVE to see them :)

yara
They actually were at the store. I'm not sure if they are when used daily :)

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
