Fashion IQ


Shoes? Check. Bags? Check. Clothes? Well, I was slightly disappointed because even though Harvey Nichols Dubai has a huuuge selection of the world’s most coveted brands in fashion, most of the items I wanted were either sold out or not in my size. Nevertheless, I did find some things that I liked. Like this stunning studded leather jacket by Givenchy, which would look edgy-chic with Balenciaga’s cute cocktail dress featured below. And look what I’ve found, Mary-Kate Olsen’s emerald green embroidered jacket by Dries Van Noten, which did not look that impressive up close and personal and it certainly was overpriced, there are for more stunning pieces by Dries Van Noten which I’d rather splurge on. Moving on, I liked this fun See by Chloé sunglass print t-shirt, and let’s test your fashion IQ, can you recognize the designer behind the embellished piece shown in the last photo?

Hey Confashions! Do you by any chance remember how much the Dries jacket retailed for? I'm in love with it, and I've been lusting over it ever since I saw a pic of MK rocking it. Do you think I might find it at Villa Moda? I hope it's not ridiculously overpriced, but I'm sure this exquisite piece is worth it. Thanks

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

The Villa Moda Movenpick Luxury Sale is an event all savvy shoppers and bargain hunters look forward to as it's a chance to get the best deals from the most wanted designer labels. The sale will showcase clothes and accessories from Spring/Summer 2008 collection and some going back to Fall 2007 collection (and even older).
