Bloomingdales Heaven


So its nearing that certain time of the year again when the heavens open their doors and bestow upon us mere mortals: Sale Season! And in the UAE that only means one thing, department stores.

Unfortunately we only have three major players in this field and leading the crop is Bloomingdales straight from the US of A followed by her majesty Harvey Nicholes and ending with the French super store Gallery Lafayette, and you know how those yanks like to be, always the leader in the battle. 
So who better to start off summer 2013 summer sale than miss liberty her self, or as I like to call her Bloomies!

So what was in store for us in the preview, well being a preview for privileged amber means (amber cards are loyalty cards for Bloomingdales and Harvey Nicholes and a few other store, your able to earn points and redeem them against purchases) that the preview only lasts two days commencing from Thursday the 16th of May till Friday the 18th, which equals plenty of time for me.

Unfortunately due to work commitments I wasn't able to attend the first day of the review on Thursday but nothing stopped me yesterday morning arriving sharply at 10.15am to avoid the crowds. I also prefer arriving early in order t be able to see all the merchandise displayed and laid out neatly, no ones been able to revere sizes or colors from the day before, the store assistants are able to find your size and preferences because the hecticness hasn’t started yet, all in all its the only time to attend a preview sale!

So what did I purchase, you may be asking?

Well fortunately I was able to keep my composure and only buy 5 items. starting off with:

Converse Sneakers by Maison Duman, soo cute unbelievably comfy, ladies we should all own a pair. www.beandd.com/


Next on my list is a pair of nude fluid leather heeled sandles by Le Silla. Forget Manolos or Christian, Le Silla is my number one, gorgeously structured and surprisingly comfortable for a 6 inch heels. I own a dozen pairs and will continue to support this Italian brand (my No1). www.lesilla.com




My third Item is by another Italian Designer called Bendetta Bruzziches. She designs artisan leather goods making each piece unique and totally desirable visit her website:  www.benedettabruzziches.com/

My other two purchases were simple summer tops. One in burnt orange and another in black both by Aqua ill post those later.

All in all bloggers always remember to buy classic items in the sale, therefore your money will never go to waist and you'll wear your purchased items for years to come... HAPY SALE SEASON xxx
