Dear Confashion: Looking for Chic Albums


Q: Do you know where I can find nice photo albums here in Kuwait? I'm looking for an album to store all my honeymoon pictures in, so it has to be a bit big ;). I also want an album were thepictures slip in, not were I have to stick them on.
A: Honestly? I don't recall a place in Kuwait that sells really nice and chic looking photo albums.  My friend says Stephanie and Al Ussaimi have a nice selection but I haven't seen them personally. Have you tried searching online? Try kolo.com,  johnlewis.com, and www.whsmith.co.uk.

I hope my readers can help us with this one. Any recommendations please? Much appreciated. :)

Unfortunately I have been facing the same delimma. For 5 years my honeymoon pictures have been sitting there in a box waiting for the perfect album. I've searched everywhere in Kuwait. I hate stuffy old style ones used by the photographers. I wanted modern chic ones. I searched everywhere even abroad. Only in 2008 did I find something that would work for me in paperchase UK (also available in DUbai Mall)

Its plain white plastic photo album that though doesn't sound very much but is very very modern. It comes in sizes from 12 pictures to 250 pictures. I bought a bunch and categoriezed many of my pictures there. I like how they are modern and how they fit with everything and are timeless.

As a matter of fact I think I will do a post about them... that's a good idea !

I think this can be categorized under "Good Business Opportunity" because I do know for a fact that a lot of my friends face the same problem ;)

Looking forward to your post :)

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
