I need a Cocktail.... Dress

Aren't you tired of that little black dress? I am! So I've decided to do a my homework and now I'm on the lookout for a daring and unique cocktail dress to complement my new sky-high heels and fake-tan. My first shopping destination was AlOthman.


I came across this stunning Proenza Schouler navy one shoulder dress, ruched from the front and adorned with one of spring/summer's most surprising trends.. Feathers! I'm not a huge fan of feathers but the way it is used on this dress makes it unbelievably chic and unique. The dress is retailed for KD 749.





My second option was this red hot Malandrino cocktail dress fir for a true fashion princess. Pair this Silk Chiffon Pleated red dress with gold accessories and cascading waves for a fresh evening twist. The price tag of the dress? KD 629.




OK, to me, this dress would not be an option for a cocktail dress, but I fell in love with it because it's sooo colorful and fun. It's nice for dressy formal occasions. The loose & bubbly shape of this Malandrino dress makes it easy to wear by skinny and curvaceous women. You can add a patent skinny belt if you want some definition. Finish the look with a peep-toe boots and you're ready to go. The dress is priced at KD 629.

Alothman is located at Mariam Complex, Salem AlMubarak St, Salmiya. For inquires, please call (+965) 575-4954.

Wow what a ripoff! Did they just drop the dollar sign and switch to KD? Seriously you can get even more stunning Malandrino dresses online for like half the price of those (which is closer to their ACTUAL retail price) :)

anonymous, I have a feeling you are confusing Catherine Malandrino with Malandrino.
Please tell us which web sites we can buy Malandrino and not the second line Catherine Malandrino

I was talking about the Catherine Malandrino line.. Sorry I didn't know there was a different Malandrino line. Well, in any case, I don't know where you can get Malandrino online. But Catherine Malandrino can be found on practically all the well-known luxury shopping sites.. I know net-a-porter.com has them for sure. Other sites that may have them are Nordstrom and Neimann Marcus.

Dear Anonymous, thank you for the info but I already knew that but I was trying to point it out to you.
Malandrino is the first line and is a much higher price point and I don't believe it is sold online.
So you see there is no rip off, they are 2 different lines.
I felt that I should make that clear.
Thank you
AlOthman

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
