Be an ICON


I was recently introduced to a new blog in town by the lovely blog owners and to cut a long story short. I have three little words for you: Read. this. blog.

Part style diary, part virtual inspiration board, the fairly new and fun blog beICONq8 was created by a small group of 2 guys and a girl, Maha Al Wanyan as a photographer and editor, Naif Al Thuwaini the graphic designer, and Yousef Al Taher the model.

"It's about mixing all kind of art from fashion, music, fine art and even acting. We want to show Kuwait and the world how to mix fashion with art. And to be of course iconic, stylish and fashionable." expressed Maha.  They're aiming to start styling and making photoshoots services in the near future.  "We don't want to focus on big designer names. We want to explore various fashion looks, boho to indie.  And nowadays, designers go for Indie bands look." said Taher. 

My favorite part of their blog is their featured photos, so full of colors and caharchter. I have a feeling that their fashion force will make its mark on the local scene in a big way. Good luck guys!

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
