The One and Only

As much as I hate to admit it, I have to accept the fact that I have a... minor shopping addiction. The problem with being  a shopaholic is that when I don't find clothes and accessories to buy, I go shopping for my home. Do I really need a wooden chess with round ball-like matching pieces? (Btw, it makes a perfect gift! cute!). A rational person would just be happy to save a little money for a rainy day especially with the current political situation in our region... scary! 

So the other day, while shopping at The One located in Marina Mall, I restricted myself from buying and was content with settling for the dreaded window shopping thing... for now.

How cute is this hot pot fluffy table base/pillow!
Loved this contemporary side table in zesty yellow which can also be used as a magazine holder

OK... I WANT THIS!! A bouquet of bulbs/hanging lights.
Outdoor chair in the brightest shade of orange... me like!

Hahaha I like that you call it a "minor" addiction. In that case I too have the same trait. Not exactly a shopaholic but just a minor addition. I love it! And I love your blog too.

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
