Shamsa AlAbbar

Arm party. Are you sick of hearing this word? A word I'm guilty of using many times simply because of my lack of terms/vocab. The word "arm party" is starting to annoy me a lot recently and I'm trying to refrain from using it. Not always successful but I'm trying. However, I still am obsessed with throwing siiiick arm parties, here I go again!!, where every bracelet is invited, and of course the more the merrier!  My latest addition to my collection is a gorgeous gold chain bracelet with protuberant geometric shape decorated with small diamonds designed by the talented Dubai-based designer Shamsa AlAbbar.

During my recent stay in Dubai, Shamsa AlAbbar has surprised me with this beyond beautifully packaged gift. Her pyramid-like shaped box was like nothing I've ever seen before, with its sides completely covered in her geometric patterns. It was place on a black stone plate, decorated with pretty white orchids. It looked divine!

Inside was a beautiful gold dainty chain bracelet with geometric shaped detail, representing her style in jewelry design, geometric shapes to form arabic words. The whole idea is to create abstract and interesting shapes to interpret arabic words. I remember I first saw Shamsa's designs instagrmmed on street style favorite Miroslava Duma's account and I fell in love with it instantly.

Shamsa AlAbbar is a graduate from the American University in Dubai holding a bachelor of fine arts in visual communication, majoring in graphic design. Shamsa specialized in branding, package design, layout design, and poster design. No wonder her jewelry package is so amazing! According to her website, Shamsa's inspiration usually comes from the beautiful things around her, as she always tries to find beauty in the most unusual places.

Thank you Shamsa for your beautiful gift, it's a very special addition to my arm party collection.

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
