Thigh's The Limit

Thigh-high boots are all the rage for this season. And now they're slowly popping up in Kuwait's stores. If you're looking for a flat version (my fave so far in the Kuwaiti market), check out the suede fitted version at Jimmy Choo at Salhiya Complex. If my memory serves me right, I think they were around KD 400.


For a high-heeled and loose fitting version, check out Massimo Dutti at Marina or the Avenues. Price tag? Not more than KD 80.

All during summer, I was dreading winter because I knew about the thigh-high boots trend. I believe they should come with a warning. Anything with too high a heel might make a girl resemble a street walker. Whereas the flat ones give the illusion of detracting from a girl's height. Even the celebs had trouble pulling them off successfully.

Keep up the good work :)

I knooow. With the thigh-high boots trend, there is a very very thin line between trendy and super tacky. I guess the flat versions suit taller girls more. And in Kuwait i think we have to be careful of "where" and "When" to rock this trend.

The safest way to pull off this trend in my opinion is to pair them with a pair of dark thick leggings (no dress plz on top!!) and a baggy (or fitted) button-down shirt. And pile on on the accessories everywhere: necklaces, cuffs, bracelets.. etc. Or you can pair it with a no-so-mini dress for formal outings making sure that the dress does not bear too much skin.

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
