The LBD


It’s the wedding season and you’re on the lookout for a cocktail dress? Relax and kick back those red soled stilettos.  I have gladly done your homework for you and I've got some fab picks right here that won’t break the bank (well except for one!).  So let’s start with today’s post focusing on our all time favorite, the LBD. Let's start with this D&G halter dress with ruffled tulle detail which I spotted at Aïshti in the Avenues. Price tag? KD 367. With all those ruffles going around, you don't need to worry about accessories. Just a simple pair of patent heels and diamond earrings will do. 


For those of you who like simple designs check out this D&G strapless lace dress with ruched detailing on the side and a ribbon bow. I couldn't find it in D&G's online look book but I've found the same design in different material just to give you an idea of how it actually looks like. Price tag? KD 230


Another cute dress by Italian brand Cristiano Burani with light organza ruffled shoulders. Also available at Aïshti Price tag? KD 218


Try this uber-chic LBD by Preen. The long sleeves lace dress from the brand's pre-fall collection 2010 is very fitted, so invest in a good pair of spanx. Price tag? KD 296

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
