Ninas de Papa

Unless you've been hibernating in your underground bunker and being anti-social media for the past few weeks, you probably have heard about the hottest hair news sweeping K-town, that is floral headbands by local brand Ninas de Papa

Ninas de Papa design over-the-top and oh-so-pretty floral hair bands using artificial flowers made of high quality materials such as silk. They're all handmade by the designers themselves Sarah Alabdulkareem and Nora Al Amer. So you can actually tell that the hairbands are a true labour of love. 

A couple of weeks back, my friend and I paid them a visit at their studio. I was amazed by the beauty of the hairbands up-close and we immediately started trying on every sample they had. I know for sure we gave poor Nora a headache with our indecisiveness and over-excitement. Plus we had a hard time deciding on what we liked the most. They all looked so pretty!  

According to the designers, they were initially inspired by one of their Norwegian friend who wore a fresh flower hairband to a wedding, so the girls decided to give it a shot and try designing their own. Their first resort collection includes seven different hairbands inspired by seven of their close friends including hip fashion blogger and DJ Bip Ling. If you're interested to get your hands on one or two (or three!), then make sure to follow AlOthman boutique on their facebook, twitter, or instagram to find out when it will hit the shop floor, as Ninas de Papa Resort collection will be exclusively sold at AlOthman Boutique.

For any further inquiries, please contact Ninas de Papa by e-mail info@ninasdepapa.com or call (+965) 6661-8248.

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
