Feeling Vestive

From long and shaggy to short and cropped, nothing does the trick of laid-back luxe and all-out-glam quite like the fur vest. I have spotted different variations of the fur vest and found a couple of options that would appeal to different budgets. 

What I love about fur vests is that you can dress it up or down in so many ways. You can pair it with a short floaty floral dress, or silk-boho top with straight or skinny pants, or plain and fitted long jersey dress with a skinny belt tied around your waist to give you some definition. 

For a streamlined and simple look, avoid statement accessories as they can be overpowering with fur vests. And make sure you stick to toned down accessories. A pair of platform heels/booties are a must since the bulk of the fur will eat up your height.

Stunning long Hakaan fur vest available at Al Othman Boutique. Price tag? KD 1,839

Black and beige fur vests available at Hoss Boutique in the Avenues Phase II. Price tag? Around KD 60

Joseph's blush pink Mongolian fur available at Harvey Nichols Dubai. And I also spotted it (and a black version) at Al Othman Boutique in Salmiya. Price tag? I think it was around KD 250

There was one that I posted about probably a month ago which I have found at Zara. The BEST camel cape I have ever seen in high street. Not sure if they're still selling it though.

I have also found one a couple of days back at TopShop which looked OK. Not as nice as the Zara one though.

Here's one option: http://www.asos.com/Asos/Asos-Contrast-Trim-Cape/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1166716

Good luck :)

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
