Beautifully Blended Beirut - Part II

Still at Saifi Village, if you're looking for a place where they sell well-made, colorful, and embroidered caftans and ropes for your mother or even for you, then head to Assila (Pictured below and above). It's the perfect place to buy a gift for your mother or your foreign friends who like and appreciate middle eastern clothes.


Johnny Farah sells leather goods that look and feel fabulous. The clutches are even more beautiful up close. And what's even more fabulous? You can customize your own bag provided that it follows Farah's guidelines of leather design. Swell!

Starch is a relatively new boutique devoted to young designers in Lebanon. The concept of the boutique is the constant rotation of new ideas and debut collections by new designers. So every season four to six young designers showcase their work to the public.

Just look at those cute light pink shoe-boots/platforms at Starch boutique. The "it" place to go to for one of a kind items.

Hahah swell. You sound like cynthia rowley. :) anyways, ya I really like johnny farah, veeeery soft, velvety leathers! But I bought a pair of shoes and they hurt a bit from the back cause of the way the back of the shoe was structured. Otherwise, super-comfy!

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
