Sonia Rykiel Heats Up H&M



Sonia Rykiel for H&M playful lingerie and accessories collection arrived in store at The Avenues over the weekend. Inspired by the fifties era, the range included 50s-style underwear, racy suspenders, sexy negligees, black velvet long pants with matching jackets (I like), decorated slippers and mules, Madonna-inspired satin body corset (I like), rose decorated underwear set (I like), and not so great black bow headpieces and brooches.


And there was a pretty off-the-shoulder black velvet gown with a big bow on the side on the window display which I actually liked. It was the first item that got sold out, I wasn’t surprised, KD 45 for a decent evening gown?! One hell of a bargain!

LOL! My bad walla! I don't know how it slipped my mind. I totally forgot about it, when I passed by H&M the other day and saw the collection, only then I remembered! Maybe the fact that the launch was not much hyped by the media and the public as they did for the Choo launch (or Choo hysteria) made me forget about it.. :)

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
