Color Me Beautiful


So the LBD is not your thing? How about you add a splash of colors to your evening look?  I have spotted some really beautiful pieces in the most mouthwatering shades to light up any party. Let's start with this Matthew Williamson Grecian style evening gown available at Al Othman. I love the embellished detail shown below. Simply stack a bunch of golden hand bracelets/cufs equally on both arms to master the Grecian-chic look.



OK this dress is one of those things you need to try on before you judge. It looked so boring on the hanger but it's actually very cute and fun when I tried it on.  I felt it was more suitable for a party than a wedding. The Vera Wang sleeveless and sequined cocktail dress is retailed at KD 736 and is available now at Aïshti located in the Avenues Phase II.


I have 3 words to describe this beautifully crafted strapless number by Marchesa. A Piece of Art. And even though I'm not too fond of the red crystals embellishment, the way the ruffles stand and sway when walking makes me overlook the embellished details. This is definitely a dress that should be sported by the hostess.


This is another lovely tiffany blue color with a lovelier origami creation by William Tempest which I spotted at Al Othman Boutique. But a word of advice here, you need to have a really high neck to pull off this look.  Otherwise, you'll be smudging the dress with your lipstick! Or maybe it simply needs some  alteration/ tailoring magic. Price tag? KD 1,198.

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
