Stunning Samovar

Knowing how much I love skulls and eccentric items, the owners of SAMOVAR invited me to their showroom to take a closer look at a new rug they have recently received. When the owner first described it to me before seeing it, I honestly couldn't visualize the beauty of a rug covered with skulls. But when I saw it up-close and personal I immediately appreciated the craftsmanship and the design. And I loved it! Yes this style might not appeal to many, but I'm sure such design would have its own fan base. Obviously this piece is not suitable for kids rooms or a bedroom, but I can really see it in a retail store, hip office, or in the living room of a fashion editor/artist.. such a statement piece.

If skulls are not your cup of tea, I present you with other selection of gorgeous rugs that can make a statement just as strong as the one above. I was extremely impressed by their enormous selection of  rugs. I'm telling you, if you are looking for a rug that is modern, fresh, funky or maybe just a little different from the norm, then this is the place to be. Scroll down for more...

SAMOVAR Carpets and Antiques showroom is located at Al Tilal Complex in Shuwaikh.

This rug is actually made of dark denim and covered with geometric like embroidery.. loving the color combination of this one.

This beautiful rug is on trend with this season's mix'n'unmatch designs/prints

Some beautiful accessories for the home 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
