Exclusive: Sneak Peek of Alexander McQueen Boutique Opening Tonight

So if you've been following me on twitter, instgram, or tumblr, you'd probably know by now that I have been invited to an exclusive sneak peek of Alexander McQueen boutique, set to be open tonight at 6PM at Al Thurraya Complex in Salmiya.

As soon as I stepped inside the store, I instantly recognized Mcqueen's signature white covered interior you get to see when visiting the brand's boutique in any part of the world. Sleek and swank! I got the glow just from walking into this space!  The first thing that struck my mind was how amazing it is that Alexander McQueen was and still is an inspirational figure. This is a man that knows how to make the garment fit impeccably. He designed accessories that stood the test of time. He created masterpieces on the runway shows. And he made us lust for skulls season after season. He IS fashion.

The boutique had a selection of clothes, shoes, and accessories that would make any die-hard McQueen fan floating high up on cloud number nine. Oh and that knuckleduster clutch!! love love love! Scroll down for some of my favorite pieces in store.  

Surrounded by skulls... what's not to love!
Obsessed with these pretty pink pleats...
The skull-handled umbrella is certainly breathtaking! 

A business card or a credit card mini wallet makes a perfect gift for a McQueen fan
Take your pick from the iconic skull printed silk chiffon scarves
Just in time for Valentines and Beyond? I LOVED this red hot dress strategically hung in between black and white clothes.
Check out the lovely stitching detail on these new McQueen bags


A big thank you goes to Alexander Mcqueen team for this amazing and exclusive opportunity, especially to Carol who took the time to show me around and patiently answered all of my questions with a warm welcoming smile.

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
