You Better Shop Around

After the Spring cleaning, comes the Spring shopping. So last week I decided to get busy and started my shopping spree at Villa Moda Shuwaikh (hence the VB collection), I was looking for something to update my wardrobe with, like a quick fashion fix. I wasn’t too impressed with what was in store. However, there were some items that made it to the “Confashion’s Interesting List” (which doesn’t necessarily translate to the “Must-Buy” List):

I found these Miu Miu black patent leather sling backs, which looked kind of OK on the shelves, but very adorable when I tried them on. The bow slightly covers your toes, making your feet look like a small fancy gift from net-a-porter. Unfortunately my size was sold out… so moving on to the next store…



Marni had its cruise collection on display, nothing special, the buyer must have missed choosing the key items from this collection. The color combination was fresh and semi-bright though. I liked the fuchsia clutch (how many Marni clutches does a fashionista really need?! Pass!). The super cute flats were also sold out in my size (hellooo crankiness, I'm not THAT crazy about them anyways).

The popular pop and punk 80s trend was obvious with this PUMA sneaker boots at Athlete’s Foot at VM. I wouldn’t buy it but I liked the color combination.

Prada, D&G, Dolce & Gabanna, Etro, YSL, Manolo, Gucci, Multi-Brand (Minus VB)? Boooring. Better luck next time maybe...

It has always been the buyer's problem.

Catering for people who just buy vs. catering for people with fashion-forward thinking.

It's always like this, even in Saudi.

The right thing to do, is for the buyer's to really FIND THEIR OWN balance of the two.
But that seems too hard for them to comprehend, like I was teaching them about how make their microwave work on Nuclear Power

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
