Sale Away With Harvey


My trip to Dubai wouldn't be complete without paying our dearest friend Harvey a friendly and guilt-free visit. Harvey Nichols was having a huge Summer sale as you may have already figured it out from the window display shown above. So I went out splurging on a belated birthday shopping spree, there's always an excuse to shop!, and I started picking through the racks of designer duds and bargain items. And here are my favorite finds:


I'm head over heels with this Richard Nicoll bright orangish sleeveless cocktail dress with a thick structured ribbon detail on the front. The dress's on discount and it's priced now for around KD 200.


The accessories section of Harvey on the ground floor had more buzz than the clothes section.

The gorgeous Loeffler Randall multi strap heels in brown leather would definitely take you from summer to fall.

These cute Lanvin flats are ideal for casual chic outings

Some items were not on sale like these Christian Louboutin heels and boots as they're from the pre-fall collection.


GASP! Another Pierre Hardy stunning creation!

Celestina and Christian Louboutin's clutches were up to 50% off. And on the below picture you can see some Balenciaga bags on 60% off.

Harvey Nichols is located within the Mall of the Emirates. For inquires, please call (+971) 4 4098888.

Connie-my heart aches for that dress! I can imagine a tan/messy loose waves and nude pumps.

The Doc- apparently there is a 'Nitya' located at Al Bustan complex (ground floor) however I believe that they are an outlet for several brands such as morgan de toi etc. Cool finds tho, our offices are upstairs and i'm always there on break. ;) hope that helps

Thanks for sharing tidbits of your Dubai fashion expedition with us. It was an eye opener of sorts for people like us, who have grown up imagining Dubai to only be a watering hole of the Indian and the Russian underworlds and at a safe remove from the worlds of art, fashion, culture and sophistication.
On the contrary, it would appear the Chinese and the Russian prada prostitutes before them have indeed done much to upp Dubai's glam quotient up a notch. In this regard, head hunters and hiring consultants will pitch in here to say how difficult it is for them to scout for and retain Western expat talent in Kuwait due to the dry state of affairs here (you get the idea) and an almost palpable lack of fine dine options.On both counts Dubai beats Kuwait hands down.

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
