Event: BLAQ Concept Store Launches its Special Ramadan Selection for BLAQ Night

What a night to kick start Qurqaian (Kuwait's equivalent of Halloween minus the costumes) in a chic manner! Last night was a welcoming wardrobe overhaul for every fashion-loving lady thanks to the launch of BLAQ Concept store's BLAQ Night. Guests were able to shop exclusive and limited edition selection by emerging and hot designers in the field of fashion and jewelry including Palmer Harding's shirts-turned maxi tops and perfect-for-ramadan caftans, Aamaya by Priyanka stunning jewelry, and the lovely Bahrain based brand Asia Jewellers.

It is worth mentioning that one of Palmer Harding's pieces, the sleeveless high-low top as shown on the charming co-owner of BLAQ Sarah Al Musallam in the photo below, was actually suggested by Sarah herself, knowing that the market needs flowy, easy breezy pieces to withstand our 10-months long summer and can be used as a refreshing alternative to the Ramadan caftan.

The designer behind Aamaya by Priyanka also made a personal appearance. I first met the designer in Bahrain over dinner through Dana of theoverdressed.com during Jewelry Arabia exhibition, and I instantly fell in love with her charming character and her sweet mother. Priyanka presented a selection of gorgeous everyday jewelry and accessories to compliment caftans and day-to-day looks. her head-pieces were a big hit too among guests, the headpieces were decorated with precious stones, colorful beads, and beautiful pearls.

I also had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Mayyan of Asia Jewellers from Bahrain. She had a huge selection of bracelets to add to your arm-party and statement necklaces by LA-based brand Nialaya.

Beautiful night, beautiful people, and beautiful pieces. If you haven't had the chance to pass by the event, make sure you pass by on Saturday to view some of the remaining items on display. For now, you can scroll down to get a quick re-cap of the amazing BLAQ Night.

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
