Glamorous Evening

I'm a wee bit late with my Dubai posts, which I have visited during the Eid holiday, as I've been quite busy lately with some side projects. There is just not enough time to get everything done, need to work on my time management skills. Oh well, you know what they say, better late than never. So in this post I'll be sharing with you some few evening gowns and cocktail dresses which took my breath away, three of which I've spotted at Symphony Boutique located at Dubai Mall. Check out this glamorous Zac Posen (if my memory serves me right) strapless gown shown in the photo above, I know that Zac Posen is stocked in AlOthman boutique as well, not sure if they have this one in stock. Symphony also had this extravagant red gown with puff embroidered sleeves on the window display also by Zac Posen.

And while shopping around Bloomingdale's Dubai, I spotted this block-colored cocktail dress which looked very familiar and then when I read the brand's name Fausto Puglisi, Anna Dello Russo's image immediately popped into my head. She's definitely the one who introduced us to this sassy brand. Not sure if I'd wear the brand though.

Oscar de la Renta's boutique in Dubai Mall had this fancy evening gown that looked like cotton candy, and I mean this in a good way! It's not something I personally would wear, I feel it's more suitable for a wedding host or on the red carpet. And last but not least, a hot fuchsia gown by Christian Siriano was another evening gown hit, it looked perfect, not too over-the-top yet very fancy and glamorous. Luv!

So what is your evening gowns and cocktail dresses shopping strategy? Do you buy one every season just in case you get invited to a wedding or a party? Or do you tend to play it by ears?

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
