My Shopping Ceremony

So back to my NYC posts, Opening Ceremony is the place to go to for your cutting edge fashion fix. Located in Soho, this funky boutique showcases designers from a different country each year. And even though the stock display is not so shopper-friendly and it's kind of congested from the inside, but it's one of the BEST places I have been to so far in NYC. Shopping there felt like a treasure hunt, you need to go through every item carefully so that not to miss out on the statement pieces. Here are my top two fave OC items...

I was so mesmerised by this green and blue digital print silk mini skirt by Peter Pilotto. The skirt is encrusted with beautiful gems and appliques and one of the most eye-catching and beautiful pieces I have ever seen during my trip. It was around USD 2,350 (KD 677).

And I'm sooo in love with my Pendleton Meets Opening Ceremony Tight Peplum Coat. Just look at how well structured the ruffle is. And It even looked smashin' when tried on. Around USD 650 (KD 187).

Then we went to Balthazar for lunch. It serves traditional delicious bistro meals and its owned by the same people that own Pastis. The ambiance is very cheerful and once inside for some reason you feel like you're in the heart of Paris. If you plan to go there, check out the next door Balthazar Bakery for desserts and baked stuff.

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
