Event: Hala Expo

Today I managed to go to Hala Expo event after I gave in to some peer pressure, in hopes of finding a fancy caftan for Ramadan. I was pleased when I first came in because it wasn't as crowded as I have imagined it to be. Maybe because it was the 2nd day of the event? Apparently the first day, which was yesterday, the hall was PACKED, the ATM machine broke down, and the walkways were hardly moving. Oh and by the way, most of the caftans that I've been eyeing the past couple of days were already sold out. But I still managed to find some other nice things, including caftans, such as clutches, hair accessories, home accessories and more. Allow me to share with you the highlights of the evening. In the first photo we have a nice everyday caftan by Kushtuban, in red, black, and off-white.

Remember when I instagrammed about Shugar Ramadan collection? Well here's a close up of the cute caftan worn by the designer. Her pieces are very well tailored.

Isn't that cup with the matching plate just adorable and funny?? Spotted it at Our Home's booth. I also liked the way they had decorated their booth, as you can see from the photo below.

AlMubarak Corner's booth had a selection of really unique accessories to pair with your caftans this Ramadan and beyond. They had a couple of Sarah's bag box clutches on display. I liked the geometric Islamic designs.

The texture on this clutch is so beautiful!

I came across a booth called Radan, they had a selection of really nice caftans with clean and intricate embroidery details.


Remember Opal jewelry which I have previously featured on my blog here? They were displaying their new collection of necklaces, headpieces, bracelets, rings, and anklets. I love the mini ring shown in the photo above and below.

Another booth which had also a nice selection of caftans was Raghed collection. I loved the green embroidered piece shown below.

And last but not least, cute flower display and gurgaia'an ideas at @vdfkw

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
