Next Destination? Turkey


First let me start by saying that this is not just another promotional post for a travel agency. If it wasn’t for this agency's exclusive and unparalleled services that are beyond your typical agency, I wouldn’t have featured them here. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Acasia Travels. And here’s what’s special about them and why I can’t wait to visit Turkey next time I travel:

  • Acasia Travels‏ offer complimentary CIP greeting which means that you will be greeted at the gate and be fast-tracked through special customs and passport control. That way, you'll feel like a VIP from arrival to departure.
  • They’ll let you stay at Ajia Hotel, a historic mansion on the Bosphorus converted into a boutique hotel (1st photo). The rooms have a full view of the Bosphorus and are stocked with Acqua di Parma toiletries. With its free private boat service, Istinye Park, Istanbul's most glamorous shopping mall/think Grand Bazaar meets Rodeo Drive, is only a 5 minute boat ride away.
     
  • At Istinye Park, Beymen* (Turkey’s version of Barney’s or Villa Moda) can organize a private fashion show of the season's collection just for YOU.
     
  • Acasia Travels‏ can also organize private sales of the below Turkish designers in the convenience of YOUR rooms. Designers such as Cashmere in Love, Oye swimwear, Misela bags, and Kismet jewellery.
     
  • Enjoy personal shopping services. In fact, their personal shopper was featured in Vogue Turkey for her quirky cool style.
     
  • Get 24/7 concierge service which ranges from booking a restaurant to organizing a meeting with the most sought after wedding planners.
Need another reason to visit Turkey? I have 10 words for you: Harvey Nichols and Hussein Chalayan's exhibition at Istanbul Modern Art Museum. For more info, visit Acasia Travels‏ site by clicking here.

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

The Villa Moda Movenpick Luxury Sale is an event all savvy shoppers and bargain hunters look forward to as it's a chance to get the best deals from the most wanted designer labels. The sale will showcase clothes and accessories from Spring/Summer 2008 collection and some going back to Fall 2007 collection (and even older).

And all throughout Ramadan from 10 AM until 2 PM and from 7:30 PM until 12:30 AM. The women’s section will be in a tent just outside the Mövenpick. As for men’s, it will be in the Villa Moda Shuwaikh warehouse just behind the building. Signs are displayed for directions. You better be quick and go and grab all you want in the very first days before the good stuff/sizes are gone.
