The W Hotel in Istanbul

If you're following me on instgram or twitter, then you'd probably know by now that I'm currently vacationing in Istanbul, Turkey. This is my first time in this magical city and I'm loving every minute of it thanks to tips from friends and family, and of course google. We're staying at The W Hotel, which may not appeal to a lot of people because of its dark lighting and very modern, sometimes impractical, amenities. But personally, I love it! I have a thing for this chain of hotels, remember my previous stay at London's W Hotel? It's very hip, private, quiet, well located, close to historical places and of course Beymen and Co.! Their concierge service is beyond amazing, the best I have seen so far, no snobby attitude, always goes the extra mile to help. Superb! Here are some of my favorite things spotted at the hotel.

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
