Farmville of Fashion

Two days ago, a friend called me from Chanel Boutique in Salhiya Complex howling with excitement over Chanel's new S/S 2010 arrivals. And because I was busy at that time, my shopping spree had to wait for 24 whole freaking hours. It’s such an annoying feeling. You know the feeling you get when you turn up there and everything is already sold out! Speaking of which, Have you ever had a dream where you’re traveling to London and get to pick and choose all the beautiful things in Browns and Harvey Nichols only to find out later that you can’t purchase a thing because you forgot to bring your money?! NIGHTMARE!

Anyhow, the first thing that caught my attention was the new window display of Chanel Boutique, very Farmville-themed (Very true to the runway them), with Chanel logo stamped boxes of rustic hay on the side and some colorful garden-like decoration on the top. And the bags on the window display were just beautiful and elegant. Anyhow, the new collection inside the store was not that exciting, with the exception of some few pieces like the weekender/travel denim bag which looked like the 2.55 but it was humongous, and the red flap bag shown below, some nice cardigans and dresses, and some other canvas bags which unfortunately I didn’t manage to take their photos. No sign of the runway bags yet and according to the sales lady, they will be in store in a week or so (the common answer).

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
