Just a Thought said…

Good on them! My heart goes out to all those affected by it. And also spare a thought to the unfortunate bloke who comes down with a cancer of the breast ever so rarely - it is sure as hell signing on a death warrant for guys where the disease spreads directly to the chest wall due to a lack of supporting fibrofatty connective tissue subjacent to the breast, in men.

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
