Me & ma Mulberry part 2

I've been meaning to post this up but never got around to it so I must apologize for the delay (especially to you ma Bahrainirants).  Everyone knows that you can never go wrong with buying me something fashion related but combine that with something I blogged about (& have repeated to friends & family on numerous occasions) that I REALLY, REALLY wanted & you've hit a home run.  That's exactly what Bahrainirants did when it came to ma bday present this year.  I've been talking about how GORGEOUS the Mulberry Carter is for FOREVER but not any Carter it had to be the Double Handle Birds Nest Croc leather Carter (particular? YEP I am).  It was sold out in the UAE & the only way to get it was from the UK so my poor hubby went searching far & wide until he managed to get his hands on one!  By the time it made it in Dubai, he had to take off & he was too eager to keep it a secret for much longer.  & these images are from THE exact moment I started opening it up (a sad blogger indeed is one who asks for images to be taken while open her dream gift).  It is a GORGEOUS bag, worth the wait & most definiately the price tag but I would definately advise you to take EXTRA care of the handle because the leather is SUPER sensative (mine already got damaged).

Please excuse my cheesy pic! Thought I would do it again for this Mulberry so it doesn't get too jealous (if you wanna know what I'm talking about click here for a quick refresher)...

xoxo for now ma PFFers,

P.S. I'm all about investing on things that'll age well such as accessories & bags lately!

P.P.S. Shopping tip of the Day: I love shopping but bargain shopping takes/makes it all the more rewarding! Knowing that you can buy a dress for lets say a budget that is usually considered cheap (cheap for what us in the Arab world usually pay for dresses especially during wedding season).  That's how I feel about my steal at BCBG for ONLY BD 77 (you can find similar prices at their Seef & City Center locations)! Which I plan on wearing to my cousin's wedding in a couple of weeks! I must admit it wasn't the price tag that I fell in LOURVE with, it was the dress at first & the price tag was an added bonus.  But steals/bargains like that is what makes fashion fun & challenging especially here in our region because some people just CAN NOT afford a hefty price tag so why not opt for something a couple of seasons old (that you know many people won't wear again) & spicing it up & making it your own? How you ask? Accessorize it with key pieces that are very now & will help take the dress to that particular level that is very you. A great pair of earrings &/or necklace can take a look a long way! So my tip of the day is buy a cute cocktail dress that you love (especially if its on sale) & invest in the accessories that you'll use for more than this one occasion!

P.P.P.S. Song of the Day: Baby, baby, baby & Crumbling Down by HBR (I am biased because I am a HUGE fan of Hassan's but this album is above & beyond, you know the kind of album that you listen to from the first track all the way to the last one? Without skipping? Well, this album is THAT kind! It calms me down, makes me bob my head from left to right, right to left, & most definitely makes me wanna learn how to play the harmonica! I'm all about supporting local talent, & he's a local talent that has been paving the way for future Bahraini/Arab artists who would like to persue a future in singing (especially in english)! Lourve, lourve lourve it!)
