Symphony By Day


Since the event was at night, we decided to take a walk around Dubai Mall, check out the shopping scene, do some window shopping (which ended with big purchases that don’t fit the suitcase!! Typical!), and locate Symphony Boutique so that later I don’t waste time walking around the mall wearing the highest heels I have ever tortured my feet in.

When I got to Symphony Boutique I thought it would be closed for the evening event’s preparations. I was surprised to find that it was open to the public and they were holding a “Meet the Designers” event. Meet the designers as in The Hills and The City star and designer Whitney Port, shoe designer Rupert Sanderson, shoe designer Camilla Skovgaard, Erin Fetherston (first photo), Project Runway's youngest winner Christian Siriano, and the face of Symphony AW10  campaign and one of America's Next Top Model’s finalists Raina Hein. Of course being the type that easily gets star struck I instantaneously went in and started snapping the pics away like a paparazzi, click click click, and started chit chatting with all of the designers. The conversations all started with the following unimpressive and so predictable statements “I came all the way to see you!” (For god’s sake!!! It’s just a 2 hours flight) And “I LOVE your designs”! (VERY original!)

Anyways, I’ll leave you now with the pics and comments…

That's Raina Hein signing her autograph on a limited edition Symphony Postcards. She is incredibly sweet and down to earth. And her skin is so smooth, I don't think she'll ever need to put on a foundation.


Glimpse of what's in store...


Super skinny long legs with super shiny long hair. Siiiigh


Charlotte Olympia!!! Total shoe bliss!

Camilla Skovgaard TDF peep-toe heels! (mental note: add them to the shopping list)

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
