The Not-So-Simple Bear Necessities

One of my fab readers sent me a photo of Karl Lagerfeld's latest project: The KL Teddy Bear. which she stumbled upon during a recent trip to Europe. The limited edition Lagerfeld Bear held its own cocktail party at Colette, Paris's most fashionable spot. The white plush furred bear resembles Mr. Lagerfeld with his signature sunglasses, black suit, biker key chain and a Swarovski crystal-studded “KL” belt. Not only that, but the fancy bear was also custom styled by Lagerfeld in Chanel’s workshops.

The most fashionable teddy bear on the planet can be purchased online through Neiman Marcus. Less than 2,500 were made and sold worldwide. So how much does the KL Teddy Bear cost? A whopping $1,500!!!! Whoohaaa! Minus the shipping cost & taxes.

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.
