B Journal's Photoshoot

In a previous post I mentioned that we worked with B Journal, a lifestyle quarterly printed magazine with carefully curated in-depth reports and engaging stories from Kuwait and around the world, on a special fashion editorial. The theme of the editorial was about nature and all clothes, shoes, and handbags were provided by AlOthman Boutique, being surrounded by the most stylish high-end designer pieces and the prettiest shoes, I really felt like a kid in a candy store. I had to remind myself that all this is for the photoshoot, we're not shopping here! Anyhow, the model was Tunisian designer Jihene Bin Jazia, you can find out more about her and her lovely caftan designs by clicking here. The jewelry and the watches were provided by Behbehani Group, so lots of fine things  by Van Cleef and Arpels and Korloff. Actually we had to have someone guarding the pieces the whole time while doing the shoot, especially that one Van Cleef and Arpels watch costs like something around KD 65,000 (that's around $228,390!!!). You can see it in the photos shown below. 

The photoshoot took place at Jumeirah Messilah Beach Hotel & Spa. I'll only share one look from the editorial, I like the combination of this look, the different textures compliment each other, we had the designer wear Maison Rabih Kayrouz's dress as a skirt and paired it with a Maison Rabih Kayrouz leather front top and ribbed back and sleeves. The Sophie Hulme bag, which you can barely see in the first photo on the side table, came in the same shade as the dress. And finally we went for the Aperlai textured heels to add an element of surprise to the warm-colored outfit. All available at AlOthman Boutique

B Journal should be out soon, I think sometime in October, and I can't wait to see the final results of the editorial. 

Those Aperlai textured shoes are TDF! Must decide which Aperlai heels I'm getting from AlOthman this season.

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
