But It's Balmain...



Balmain has created an exquisite and fierce collection this season that made every high-brand boutique around the world seek out for the label to stock their floor shops with its collection. And guess where can you find Balmain in Kuwait? Yup, at my number one local shopping destination, AlOthman. This season, Balmain’s collection outlines modern glamour with tough rock chic attitude. I found this short white dress on display at Alothman and even though it’s not one of the best pieces of Balmain’s collection, but there’s something about it that I found appealing (maybe the fact that it’s… Balmain?).

Anyhow, I feel that if I accessorize this dress with bold jewels, platform heels or ankle/over the knee boots (and a leather jackets), it would make a very refined rock ’n’ roll-ish look, another fall trend worth following.

Big earings.
A tight fitted black leather jacket, biker style perhaps!

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
