Event: Avenue32XTheOverdressed

Last Saturday I missed going to an exclusive shopping event hosted by Dana Al Khalifa, of TheOverdressed.com, and online retailer Avenue32.com in Bahrain's Green Bar’s headquarters.

Roberta Benteler, founder of Avenue32.com, explained to shoppers the novel concept of Avenue32.com which came to her when she started working with a young designer to gain experience in fashion. The concept for Avenue 32 is that it's a platform where designers can showcase their product in their own ‘shop in a shop’, accompanied by editorial.

Dana was dressed in Tanya Taylor while Roberta was dressed in Giles Deacon. The black brass rails were lined with the designs of JJS Lee, Charlie Brear, and Regina Pyo to name a few. The shoe ladder display was scattered with the sleek lines of Paul Andrew and the stunning designs of Alexander Lewis for Manolo Blahnik. The accessory section was draped in Degano and Elsa Marotta scarves, Venessa Arizaga necklaces and Lena Erziak clutches.

In the end, no one of course left empty handed, their giveaway bags contained a much coveted 10% discount card from Avenue32.com, Green Bar Body Oil, and Overdressed engraved William Di Carlo almond confetti all the way from Milano, because they know how to always end on a sweet note.

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
