Always in Vogue


My obsession with the classic beige trench coat seems to never end. I already have 3, actually 2 beige ones and one navy. And the fact that every season brands give the classic piece a multi-style makeover is not helping me at all. Sleeveless, short sleeves, covered with delicate lace, embellished, cropped, ruffled… it surely has managed to outlive all fashion trends. So channel Holly Golightly and take your pick from a selection of trench coats I spotted fit for all budgets.  Let's start from top, featured here is a trench coat which I spotted at GAP. The fit was quite good and the price tag? KD 39 only!


H&M trench coat with brown leather detail on the collar is retailed at KD 11.900


Burberry Brit short sleeved trench dress which can also be worn as a coat. Price tag? KD 174


Ahhh.. This iconic piece from Burberry can be yours for KD 350

I love the last one! Burberry all the way, but its a pity there's not much use for them in our region :/
But I still say its an investment.

I liked the H&M one the most. But what is that price?? 11 thousands 9 hundred KD?! That would be 40 thousand bucks, cannot be.

Confashion, thanks for your response. I would also think that 'dot' means 'eleven point nine', but then why are there zeros after 'nine'? On the other hand $30 for this trench coat is more probable, while very low, than $40k.
I mean look at the quality, it's a bargain for $30, but H&M, while affordable, is not that unbelievably affordable.
Somebody just tell me where to buy this thing for $30!!

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
