Fall In Villa Moda

If the Birkin bag came in a cheaper version, it would pretty much look like this Prada black leather tote. That's the first thing I noticed at Villa Moda Shuwaikh when I went there to check out their new Fall/Winter 2009 arrivals. The bag actually looks much better in real life and it's affordable in price considering it's a Prada leather day bag which you can easily fit your laptop in. Price tag? Around KD 470.

More Fall Prada bags in maroonish leather. They were ok.

Prada's prom-like cocktail pouffy dress has a nice neckline but overall? the dress is a bit on the blah side. OK, I'm starting to get disappointed now!

I had mixed feelings about Miu Miu's Fall collection


Not super crazy about the red bag and the red clutch shown here, but if you're a Miu Miu fanatic, you might like them

More from Miu Miu's Fall bags collection. I'm not jumping for joy over these either



Miu Miu's clothes were far more exciting than the bag's selection. I liked this beautiful silk green sleeveless top with soft ruffle details on the side. It would add just the right amount of color to winter's greys and blacks

This top also looked kind of cute with it's ruffle details on sleeves and neckline.. I'll keep on searching though..



This grey wool dress with structured pleats was probably the nicest item from collection on display but it was a size bigger than my size and it looked unflattering on me.. so I'll pass.

hmm well for ur laptop or not, I wasn't too crazy about those Prada bags which really disappointed me as well! In all fairness they are OK but thats the thing they seem so average even for an attempt at a Berkin look alike!
But the clothes were dreamy, the purples and greens i fell in loooove :)

MY fave bag for a laptop would have to be the LV Passy GM or Bagatelle GM.. timeless and classic!

In all honestly...

While people may have mixed feelings and to from season to season, but Miuccia Prada never disappoints.

She's a practical fashion artist/designer.

The Coco Chanel of our time no doubt.

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
