Summer Or Fall

When I plan to go out shopping, I'm usually focused. I know what I need and I know what I want. Very easy in theory. However, when I shop in certain places in Kuwait such as Al Othman, 4 boutique, and Villa Moda. That same theory magically disappears the moment I see some incredible and beautiful pieces like this emerald green leather textured and structured leather jacket by Poleci at Villa Moda Al Fanar. Even though it's from the designer's S/S 2009 collection, it's a perfect piece for our Fall. besides, who would wear leather in the summer, right? The jacket is priced at KD 435. I love how the model paired it with a white lace top. Moving on...

I'm a sucker for almost anything Thakoon-ish. And this tie-dye vibrant pink and red shirt dress from the designer's Resort 2009 collection is too beautiful to miss. Unfortunately (or fortunately!) it didn't fit me well. Price tag? KD 515.

Here's the "almost anything" from Thakoon exception. I'm not crazy about this evening gown from the S/S 2009 collection. But the small pleated details on the chest are interesting. the rest of the gown and its color is a bit boring. Price tag KD 1,054. Not sure if it's on sale or not.

Hmm..I wonder what happened to my "had enough from summer collection" complaint!

True.. But for us, summer leather jackets on discount are bargain pieces to be worn for chillier seasons. :)

Thanks ;) I wasn't sure about it.

Yeah, the leather jacket is slightly over-priced. IF it was (or maybe it is) on discount, then it would have been a bargain buy.

And it's an easy summer to fall piece!

Yes, all pieces featured on this post are from AlFanar.

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
