Museum of Everything

There I was at Museum of Everything in Selfridges snapping pictures away when suddenly I spotted a warning sign "No Photography. You will be fined 1,000 pounds"!!! Whaaa! I freaked out! I was about to loose 1,000 pounds of my shopping budget!! I immediately hid my camera inside my bag hoping that no one saw me. And started walking around the museum really fast expecting that any minute I'd be stopped by the security guards. Phew! That did not happen thankfully. And I did manage to have a look at the exhibition, which showcased over 400 drawings, paintings and sculptures from around the world by self-taught artists with developmental and physical disabilities.  I was really amazed by this fact and was glad to know that the people behind the museum were trying to connect the artists to the real world and give their work the proper presentation that they deserve. There were blown-up versions of some of the Museum's work on Selfridges' window displays along Oxford Street. So I safely settled for taking photos of the lovely window displays. Scroll down to view the beautiful creations.

Loved the shoes and the below shown dress with scribbles and doodles.

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
