Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
As my GulfWeekly colleague Bambi and I sat watching guests arrive for the epic VIP Zebra Lounge launch at Upstairs Downstairs, we came to notice how fabulously dressed everyone was.
However, one guest – marketing manager Hannan Laidouni – arrived and stunned the crowd. What impressed us the most was how her red shoes and handbag dressed up her smart denim jeans. This combination made her outfit ‘pop’. Therefore, this week I kept an eye open for shoe and bag outlets that offered up a good price without compromising on style.
My sister Charlene and I have always loved shopping in Guess. I remember her whispering to me one day, ‘Shhhhh, don’t tell mum that I spent all my money on this shirt’. Sometimes you need to splurge for designer items but this week Guess is holding a 30 to 50 per cent sale on half flaps, satchels, totes and wallets.
I asked the sales lady the best-seller and I agreed with her choice … satchels in various sizes that are white and dusty rose with a faux croc finish. This particular Guess line of bags can go with any outfit and a smart pair of heels. From BD58 down to BD40.600 and some can be snapped up for just BD29.
Charles and Keith are having a promotion too. When you spend BD25 you will receive a BD5 voucher. Right now they have several tables, put in place by clever merchandisers, of handbags and heels for the day or evening.
I fell in love with their new collection of sling-backs in navy or metallic with an open toe using a criss-cross design that glittered in silver. The collection sparkles, but does not overdo it. You will find patent rose, silver or black stilettoes, wedges in gold or black shimmer and flats adorned with bows in burgundy. Matching box clutches and totes are available in the most modern styles.
This week Dune is holding a sale offering 25 to 60 per cent off in Bahrain City Centre and Seef Mall. Dune is known for its original and exciting footwear. The brand has great designs which fit beautifully. You will find shoes for any occasion. Dune was founded in 1992 by Daniel Rubin who has helped the family shoe business put its best foot forward for four generations.
There is something to be said about family businesses and the love and care that goes into the products manufactured.
Shopping at this store makes it easier to find the perfect combination of bags and shoes to add a little extra sophistication to your style. You can create a perfect pairing with tiger, silver, gold, black, white, beige or taupe clutch and heel for a great price at Dune.
