I think a lot of number of people who get invited to weddings in Kuwait stopped looking for over the top gowns and dresses, they look for something simple and chic and the same time, especially this season where looking minimalist is all the rage thanks to Celine and Chloe. Plus the make up for that full-on simplicity with OTT and statement making jewellery. Unless you're a close relative of the hosted wedding/party, then only you'd probably want an OTT gown. :)

My favorite is the Gucci dress. It's plain yet has a kind of edge to it.

Well, I personally don't think I would end up spending THAT much money on a dress to attend a wedding of an individual I hardly even know. Unless you have deep pockets, then that's a different story. I think for a middle class individual such as myself it would be more REALISTIC for me to go to BCBG or somewhere similar to purchase a nice dress. Like you said, it if it were the wedding of a relative, then investing a high amount of money on a dress would make sense, but not for just "another" wedding. It just doesn't make sense to invest that kind of money on one of those high end designer dresses.

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
