Struck By The Yellow Bug

It seems that spring's yellow bug has caught Al Othman. And I'm not complaining. I love yellow (especially bright yellow). It's the color for all seasons. Besides, brights were all over the spring runway shows. And I think this vibrant color makes a wise buy for cruise and beyond.

On my recent shopping spree I have noticed how yellow was dominating the racks and rails at my favorite boutique. So I decided to take a few snap shots of what's available now.


I liked this bright yellow beach-party-dress by Lela Rose. It can be the ideal transitional style. Wear with or without opaque tights, depending on the weather. If it's chilly outside, pair it with a long knitted chunky cardigan and stacked patent heels. For the summer, pair it with gladiator style sandals. Dress costs KD 359.



Another cocktail party dress by Lela Rose. The strapless dress with panel detail gives a fresh look and a nicer alternative to the LBD. Can be worn with a tuxedo jacket for a funky look. Or simply on it's own with a pair of grey or nude killer heels for an elegant look. Dress costs KD 298.



Mustardish yellow perfect-for-prom kind of dress by Vera Wang Lavendar. The shape of the dress is soooo easy to wear. It compliments all body shapes. And the little black brooches detail sets it apart from the common baby-doll look. Pair it with a shoe-boot for an updated style. The dress is sold for KD 179.

dear 4

many of the designers these days leave room for lengthening the top or dress so if theres anything that you like, check out if the hem can be lengthened.

Dear lala,

I own Brown, which is in Tala Center :)

Im also scared of yellow but I think I will enjoy wearing it with a tan.

One color I used to avoid was purple but ofcourse with the fashion this year I embraced it whole heartedly from top to toe.

I think my new color for this coming season will be royal blue and when i manage to get a light tan, yellow. So excited!

the second and third are cute but the first is not not NOT. not only does it look totally unspecial, plain and blah, but it is not even near worth that price tag for something so common looking. i could have designed that in my sleep and sewed it with my left toe. i pity the one who pays 300 kd for it!

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
