Serenity Sale


You know what I love about Villa Moda’s sale this year? The no crowds’ sale. I just HATE queuing at the cashier and seeing all those picked-over clothes and shoes scattered all around, it’s just revolting to me.  So imagine my delight waking into a huuuuge multi-brand designer store in semi-permanent quiet sales mode.

And I have to say, although Villa Moda received very limited collection of S/S2010 brands this year, with the absence or major ones like Prada, Miu Miu, Bottega, YSL, Gucci, Marni, and Dolce & Gabbana, I will say that it’s certainly worth popping in to check out the designer bargains of previous seasons, especially if you’re looking for some stuff to smoothly take you to Fall in style.

I was pleasantly surprised at the range and discounts available, some items were neatly displayed in the designer’s boutique and most previous seasons’ items were at the VM warehouse on the 1st floor, which requires time, patience, and sharp eyes to find fab designer bargains. And because of the long lines of squeezed hanged clothes, there will be a whole lot of rummaging and scanning to do.  So don’t think you’ll just grab and item and go in 10 mins flat. So here are some of my favorite picks.  Le’s start with the accessories...


Fur decorated a lot of Fall's 2010 heels like Valentino, Louboutin, and Wang, so why not rock the trend for less with Prada's Fall 2009 fur covered heels?  


Loved these exotic leather Prada sandals with cute leather bows from the brand's S/S 2009 collection


Miu Miu lace-up peep-toe heels from the brand's A/W 2009 collection

Miu Miu's famous embellished ballerinas are also from the brand's A/W 2009 collection


I'm in love with golden embellishment of this Dries Van Noten off-white leather clutch which can also turn into a chain shoulder bag. Price after disount was around KD 70

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
